restrict the performance of his responsibilities under this Agreement, Consultant warrants that he has provided copies of all such written agreements or understandings to the Company and has made any unwritten understandings known to the Company via appropriate documentation. If the Company determines, in its sole judgment, that any such agreements or understandings would unduly restrict Consultant’s performance hereunder, the Company shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement upon notification to Consultant of its determination. Consultant acknowledges that the Company does not wish to interfere with Consultant’s duties under any such prior agreements.

5. CONFIDENTIALITY. The parties’ rights and obligations related to the use, disclosure, protection, return and destruction of confidential and proprietary information shall be governed by the terms and conditions set forth in that certain executed Non-Disclosure Agreement between the parties hereto dated on or about May 5, 2008 and attached as Exhibit A to this Agreement.

Further, during the Term of this Agreement, and for a period of one year thereafter, Consultant will not, either directly or indirectly, on its behalf or on behalf of others, solicit, divert, or hire away, or attempt to solicit, divert, or hire away, any person employed by the Company with whom Consultant has substantial contact while performing Services under this Agreement.

7. IDEAS & CONCEPTS. Any and all title, ownership rights, and intellectual property rights concerning any advice, ideas, concepts, suggestions, materials and the like that Consultant provides to the Company during the Term shall become the exclusive property of the Company and may be used for its business purposes in its sole discretion without any compensation to Consultant.

8. SEC RULES. The Company is regulated by securities laws in the United States.
