time with or without Cause, and Black reserves the right to terminate his
employment at any time with or without Good Reason and in any of such events,
neither party shall have any further obligation to the other under Section 2 or
Section 3 hereof.
(b) If Xxxxxx terminates Black's employment without Cause or Black
validly terminates his employment for Good Reason prior to the Termination Date,
Xxxxxx shall nonetheless remain liable for, and pay or provide to Black, all of
the payments and benefits specified in Section 5 through the Termination Date,
and thereafter as specified in Section 5(a)(iii) and Section 5(a)(v).
(c) If Xxxxxx validly terminates Black's employment with Cause or Black
terminates his employment without Good Reason (including by death) prior to a
Termination Date that occurs other than by operation of this Section 7(c),
Xxxxxx'x obligations under Section 5 shall be cancelled and of no further effect
as of the Termination Date, but Xxxxxx shall remain liable to pay Black all
amounts accrued hereunder prior to the Termination Date. The cessation of
employment of Black shall not be deemed to be for Cause unless and until there
shall have been delivered to Black a copy of a resolution adopted by the
affirmative vote of a majority of the entire membership of the Board of
Directors after at least five business days notice is provided to Black and
Black is given an opportunity,
5
together with counsel, to be heard by the Board of Directors of Xxxxxx at a
meeting (which may be by telephonic conference call), finding that in the good
faith opinion of the Board of Directors of Xxxxxx Black is guilty of the conduct
described in the definition of Cause and describing in reasonable detail the
particulars thereof. The cessation of employment of Black shall not be deemed to
be for Good Reason unless and until Black shall have provided to Xxxxxx at least
five business days' notice describing in reasonable detail the particulars
thereof.
8. Non-Compete Agreement. The Non-Compete Agreement and any other
understandings or agreements between Xxxxxx and Black related to the terms and
conditions of his employment are hereby terminated, shall have no further force
and effect, and are replaced hereby.

access to, develop, or otherwise be exposed to or aware of Confidential
Information. Black acknowledges that the Confidential Information must be kept
strictly confidential. During and after termination of Black's employment by
Xxxxxx Black agrees: (a) to take every reasonable precaution to safeguard and
treat the Confidential Information as confidential, (b) not to disclose the
Confidential Information to any third party except as part and in furtherance of
the business of Xxxxxx, and (c) not to disclose or use the Confidential
Information in any manner that would not be in furtherance of the interests of
Xxxxxx.
10. Ownership of Intellectual Property. During Black's employment with
Xxxxxx prior to the date hereof, Black individually or with others may have been
involved in the development, invention, or creation of proprietary material,
methods, intellectual property, inventions, or technology including without
limitation items or materials that may be patentable, and during his future
employment with Xxxxxx, Black individually or with others may be involved in the
same. All such materials, methods, intellectual property, inventions, and
technology are developed on behalf of Xxxxxx and in the course of Black's
employment by Xxxxxx, and Xxxxxx shall be the sole and exclusive owner thereof

any assignments, licenses, or other agreements necessary or desirable from time
to time to give Xxxxxx the full benefit of such ownership.

corporation), compete in any manner with Xxxxxx.
(b) During the two-year period following the Termination Date, Black

approached by Xxxxxx within the previous six months) with respect to any
services or products competitive with those of Xxxxxx, or which otherwise
directly or indirectly in any manner compete with Xxxxxx in any line of business
carried on or planned by Xxxxxx during Black's employment.
(c) Black acknowledges that damages for any breach of this Section 11
will be difficult, if not impossible, to calculate and that legal remedies for
breach of this provision will be inadequate. Therefore, Xxxxxx shall be entitled
to obtain injunctive relief to enforce this provision in addition to any other
remedy at law or equity including termination of payments hereunder.
12. Related Agreements/Further Assurances. The parties agree to
mutually cooperate in the execution and delivery of any documents and

to effectuate the purposes of this Agreement. Among others and as a condition of
