(a) The Company owns or possesses sufficient legal rights to all patents,
trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, trade secrets, licenses,
information and other proprietary rights and processes necessary for its
business as now conducted and as presently proposed to be conducted, without any
known infringement of the rights of others. There are no outstanding options,
licenses or agreements of any kind relating to the foregoing proprietary rights,
nor is the Company bound by or a party to any options, licenses or agreements of
any kind with respect to the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names,

Company has violated or, by conducting its business as presently proposed, would
violate any of the patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights
or trade secrets or other proprietary rights of any other person or entity, nor

(c) The Company is not aware that any of its employees is obligated under
any contract (including licenses, covenants or commitments of any nature) or
other agreement, or subject to any judgment, decree or order of any court or

that would conflict with the Company's business as presently proposed to be
conducted. The Company will cause each Key Employee and officer of the Company
to execute a proprietary information and inventions agreement in the form of
9
Exhibit K attached hereto. No former or current employee, officer or consultant
of the Company has excluded works or inventions made prior to his or her
employment with the Company from his or her assignment of inventions pursuant to
such employee, officer or consultant's proprietary information and inventions
agreement. The Company does not believe it is or will be necessary to utilize
any inventions, trade secrets or proprietary information of any of its employees
made prior to their employment by the Company, except for inventions, trade
secrets or proprietary information that have been assigned to the Company.
5.11 Compliance with Other Instruments. The Company is not in violation or
default of any term of its Restated Articles or Bylaws, or of any provision of
any mortgage, indenture, contract, agreement, instrument or contract to which it
is party or by which it is bound or of any judgment, decree, order or writ. The
execution, delivery, and performance of and compliance with this Agreement, and
the Related Agreements, and the issuance and sale of the Shares pursuant hereto
and of the Conversion Shares pursuant to the Certificate of Designation, will
not, with or without the passage of time or giving of notice, result in any such
violation, or be in conflict with or constitute a default under any such term,
or result in the creation of any mortgage, pledge, lien, encumbrance or charge
upon any of the properties or assets of the Company or the suspension,
revocation, impairment, forfeiture or nonrenewal of any permit, license,
authorization or approval applicable to the Company, its business or operations
or any of its assets or properties. The Company has avoided every condition, and
has not performed any act, the occurrence of which would result in the Company's
loss of any right granted under any license, distribution agreement or other
agreement required to be disclosed on the Schedule of Exceptions.
5.12 Litigation. Except as set forth in Exhibit L, there is no action,
suit, proceeding or investigation pending or, to the Company's knowledge,
currently threatened against the Company that questions the validity of this
Agreement, or the Related Agreements or the right of the Company to enter into
any of such agreements, or to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby or
thereby, or which might result, either individually or in the aggregate, in any
material adverse change in the assets, condition, affairs or prospects of the
Company, financially or otherwise, or any change in the current equity ownership
of the Company, nor is the Company aware that there is any basis for any of the
foregoing. The foregoing includes, without limitation, actions pending or, to
the Company's knowledge, threatened, or any basis therefor known by the Company
involving the prior employment of any of the Company's employees, their use in
connection with the Company's business of any information or techniques
allegedly proprietary to any of their former employers, or their obligations
under any agreements with prior employers. The Company is not a party or subject
to the provisions of any order, writ, injunction, judgment or decree of any
court or government agency or instrumentality. There is no action, suit,
proceeding or investigation by the Company currently pending or which the
Company intends to initiate.
5.13 Tax Returns, Payments, and Elections. The Company has timely filed all
tax returns and reports (federal, state and local) as required by law. These
returns and reports are true and correct in all material respects. The Company
has paid all taxes and other assessments due, except those contested by it in
good faith. The provision for taxes of the Company as shown in the Financial
Statements is adequate for taxes due or accrued as of the date thereof. The
Company has not elected pursuant to the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended ("Code"), to be treated as an S corporation or a collapsible corporation
pursuant to Section 1362(a) or Section 341(f) of the Code, nor has it made any
10
other elections pursuant to the Code (other than elections that relate solely to
methods of accounting, depreciation, or amortization) that would have a material
effect on the business, properties, prospects, or financial condition of the
Company. The Company has never had any tax deficiency proposed or assessed
against it and has not executed any waiver of any statute of limitations on the
assessment or collection of any tax or governmental charge. None of the
Company's federal income tax returns and none of its state income or franchise
tax or sales or use tax returns has ever been audited by governmental
authorities. Since the date of the Financial Statements, the Company has made
adequate provisions on its books of account for all taxes, assessments, and
governmental charges with respect to its business, properties, and operations
for such period. The Company has withheld or collected from each payment made to
each of its employees, the amount of all taxes, including, but not limited to,
federal income taxes, Federal Insurance Contribution Act taxes and Federal
Unemployment Tax Act taxes required to be withheld or collected therefrom, and
has paid the same to the proper tax receiving officers or authorized
depositaries.
5.14 Employees. The Company has no collective bargaining agreements with
any of its employees. There is no labor union organizing activity pending or, to
the Company's knowledge, threatened with respect to the Company. The Company is
not a party to or bound by any currently effective employment contract, deferred
compensation arrangement, bonus plan, incentive plan, profit sharing plan,
retirement agreement or other employee compensation plan or agreement. To the
Company's knowledge, no employee of the Company, nor any consultant with whom
the Company has contracted, is in violation of any term of any employment
contract, proprietary information agreement or any other agreement relating to
the right of any such individual to be employed by, or to contract with, the
Company because of the nature of the business to be conducted by the Company;
and to the Company's knowledge the continued employment by the Company of its
present employees, and the performance of the Company's contracts with its
independent contractors, will not result in any such violation. The Company has
not received any notice alleging that any such violation has occurred. No
employee of the Company has been granted the right to continued employment by
the Company or to any material compensation following termination of employment
with the Company. The Company is not aware that any officer, key employee or

representations and warranties of the Company set forth in this Agreement):
6.1 Requisite Power and Authority. Purchaser has all necessary power and
authority under all applicable provisions of law to execute and deliver this
Agreement and the Related Agreements and to carry out their provisions. All
action on Purchaser's part required for the lawful execution and delivery of
this Agreement and the Related Agreements have been or will be effectively taken
13
prior to the Closing. Upon their execution and delivery, this Agreement and the
Related Agreements will be valid and binding obligations of Purchaser,
enforceable in accordance with their terms, except (a) as limited by applicable
bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization, moratorium or other laws of general
application affecting enforcement of creditors' rights, (b) as limited by
general principles of equity that restrict the availability of equitable
remedies, and (c) to the extent that the enforceability of the indemnification
provisions of Section 2.9 of the Investor Rights Agreement may be limited by
applicable laws.
6.2 Investment Representations. Purchaser understands that neither the
Shares nor the Conversion Shares have been registered under the Securities Act.
Purchaser also understands that the Shares are being offered and sold pursuant
to an exemption from registration contained in the Securities Act based in part
upon Purchaser's representations contained in the Agreement. Purchaser hereby
represents and warrants as follows:
(a) Purchaser Bears Economic Risk. Purchaser has substantial experience in
evaluating and investing in private placement transactions of securities in
companies similar to the Company so that it is capable of evaluating the merits
and risks of its investment in the Company and has the capacity to protect its
own interests. Purchaser must bear the economic risk of this investment
indefinitely unless the Shares (or the Conversion Shares) are registered
pursuant to the Securities Act, or an exemption from registration is available.
Purchaser understands that the Company has no present intention of registering
the Shares, the Conversion Shares or any shares of its Common Stock. Purchaser
also understands that there is no assurance that any exemption from registration
under the Securities Act will be available and that, even if available, such
exemption may not allow Purchaser to transfer all or any portion of the Shares
or the Conversion Shares under the circumstances, in the amounts or at the times
Purchaser might propose.
(b) Acquisition for Own Account. Purchaser is acquiring the Shares and the
Conversion Shares for Purchaser's own account for investment only, and not with
a view towards their distribution.
(c) Purchaser Can Protect Its Interest. Purchaser represents that by reason
of its, or of its management's, business or financial experience, Purchaser has
the capacity to protect its own interests in connection with the transactions
contemplated in this Agreement, and the Related Agreements. Further, Purchaser
is aware of no publication of any advertisement in connection with the
transactions contemplated in the Agreement.
(d) Accredited Investor. Purchaser represents that it is an accredited
investor within the meaning of Regulation D under the Securities Act.
(e) Rule 144. Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the Shares, and, if
issued, the Conversion Shares must be held indefinitely unless they are
subsequently registered under the Securities Act or an exemption from such
registration is available. Purchaser has been advised or is aware of the
provisions of Rule 144 promulgated under the Securities Act as in effect from
time to time, which permits limited resale of shares purchased in a private
14
placement subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including, among
other things: the availability of certain current public information about the
Company, the resale occurring following the required holding period under Rule
144 and the number of shares being sold during any three-month period not
exceeding specified limitations.
(f) Residence. If the Purchaser is an individual, then the Purchaser
resides in the state or province identified in the address of the Purchaser set
forth on Exhibit A; if the Purchaser is a partnership, corporation, limited
liability company or other entity, then the office or offices of the Purchaser
in which its investment decision was made is located at the address or addresses
of the Purchaser set forth on Exhibit A.
(g) Foreign Investors. If Purchaser is not a United States person (as
defined by Section 7701(a)(30) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as
amended), Purchaser hereby represents that it has satisfied itself as to the
full observance of the laws of its jurisdiction in connection with any
invitation to subscribe for the Shares or any use of this Agreement, including
(i) the legal requirements within its jurisdiction for the purchase of the
Shares, (ii) any foreign exchange restrictions applicable to such purchase,
(iii) any government or other consents that may need to be obtained, and (iv)
the income tax and other tax consequences, if any, that may be relevant to the
purchase, holding, redemption, sale or transfer of the Shares. Purchaser's
subscription and payment for and continued beneficial ownership of the Shares
will not violate any applicable securities or other laws of Purchaser's
jurisdiction.
6.3 Transfer Restrictions. Each Purchaser acknowledges and agrees that the
Shares and, if issued, the Conversion Shares are subject to restrictions on
transfer as set forth in the Investor Rights Agreement.
7. SURVIVAL OF REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES AND AGREEMENTS

covenants, agreements, representations and warranties made by the Company and
the Purchasers in this Agreement and in the certificates for the Shares
delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall survive the execution of this

Form of Legal opinion
1. Each of the Company and each of its subsidiaries has been duly organized
and is a validly existing corporation in good standing under the laws of
the respective jurisdiction of its organization.
2. Each of the Company and each of its subsidiaries has the requisite
corporate power to own or lease its property and assets and to conduct its
business as it is currently being conducted and is qualified as a foreign
corporation to do business in all jurisdictions where it is required to be
so qualified.
3. The Company has all requisite corporate power to execute and deliver the
Stock and Warrant Purchase Agreement, the Investor Rights Agreement, the
Right of First Refusal and Co-Sale Agreement and the Voting Agreement (the
"Financing Agreements"), to sell and issue the Shares thereunder, to issue
the shares of the Company's common stock issuable upon conversion of the
Shares (the "Conversion Shares") and to carry out and perform its
obligations under the terms of the Financing Agreements. All corporate
action on the part of the Company, its directors and stockholders necessary
for the authorization, execution and delivery of the Financing Agreements
by the Company and the authorization, sale, issuance and delivery of the
Shares (and the Conversion Shares) has been taken. The Financing Agreements
have been duly and validly authorized, executed and delivered by the
Company and each such agreement constitutes a valid and binding agreement
of the Company enforceable against the Company in accordance with its
terms, except as rights to indemnity under Section 2.9 of the Investor
Rights Agreement may be limited by applicable laws and except as
enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency,
reorganization, arrangement, moratorium or other similar laws affecting
creditors' rights, and subject to general equity principles and to
limitations on availability of equitable relief, including specific
performance.
4. The Company's authorized capital stock consists of (a) one hundred million
(100,000,000) shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of which
eleven million three hundred seven thousand nine hundred thirty
(11,307,930) shares are issued and outstanding, and (b) ten million
(10,000,000) shares of preferred stock, par value $0.01 per share, none of
which were issued or outstanding prior to the Closing, of which: (i) five
million (5,000,000) shares have been designated Series A Preferred Stock,
par value $0.01 per share and (ii) three million (3,000,000) shares have
been designated Series A-1 Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share
(together, the "Series Preferred"). The outstanding shares of Common Stock
have been duly authorized and validly issued, are fully paid and
nonassessable and were issued in accordance with applicable federal and
state securities laws. The rights, preferences and privileges of the Series
Preferred are as stated in the Company's Certificate of Designation of the
Relative Rights and Preferences of the Series A Convertible Preferred Stock
(the "Certificate of Designation"). The Shares have been duly authorized,
and upon issuance and delivery against payment therefor in accordance with
the terms of the Agreement, the Shares will be validly issued, outstanding,
fully paid, nonassessable and free of preemptive rights. The Conversion
Shares have been duly reserved, and upon issuance and delivery in
accordance with the terms of the Company's Certificate of Designation, will
be validly issued, outstanding, fully paid and nonassessable. To the best
of our knowledge, there are no options, warrants, conversion privileges,
preemptive rights or other rights presently outstanding to purchase any of
the authorized but unissued capital stock of the Company, other than the
conversion privileges of the Series Preferred, rights created in connection
with the transactions contemplated by the Agreement and the Financing
Agreements, one hundred ninety-five thousand five hundred fifty (195,550)
shares reserved for issuance under the Company's 1996 Stock Option Plan and
those rights disclosed by the Company in the Agreement and the Schedule of
Exceptions delivered by the Company in connection therewith.
5. The execution and delivery of the Financing Agreements by the Company and
the issuance of the Shares (and the Conversion Shares) pursuant thereto do
not violate any provision of the Company's Restated Articles of
Incorporation, as amended by the Certificate of Designation and as in
effect as of the date of Closing, or, to the best of our knowledge, any
provision of any applicable federal or state law, rule or regulation. To
the best of our knowledge, the execution, delivery and performance of and
compliance with the Agreements, and the issuance of the Shares (and the
Conversion Shares) do not violate, or constitute a default under, any of
the Material Agreements, and do not violate or contravene (a) any
governmental statute, rule or regulation applicable to the Company or (b)
any order, writ, judgment, injunction, decree, determination or award,
which has been entered against the Company and which is specifically
identified in the Schedule of Exceptions delivered in connection with the
Agreement.
6. To the best of our knowledge, there is no action, proceeding or
investigation pending or overtly threatened against the Company before any
court or administrative agency that questions the validity of the Financing
Agreements or that might result, either individually or in the aggregate,
in any material adverse change in the assets, financial condition, or
operations of the Company.
7. All consents, approvals, authorizations, or orders of, and filings,
registrations, and qualifications with, any regulatory authority or
governmental body in the United States required for the consummation by the
Company of the transactions contemplated by the Agreement, have been made
or obtained, except for (a) the filing of a Notice of Transaction Pursuant
To Section 25102(f) of the California Corporate Securities Law of 1968, as
amended (b) for the filing of a Form D pursuant to Securities and Exchange
Commission Regulation D and (c) any filing required by other applicable
Blue Sky filings.
8. The offer and sale of the Shares is exempt from the registration
requirements of the Securities Act, subject to the timely filing of a Form
D pursuant to Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation D.

ON STAGE ENTERTAINMENT, INC.
EMPLOYEE PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
AND INVENTIONS AGREEMENT
In consideration of my employment or continued employment by On Stage
Entertainment, Inc. (the "Company"), the compensation now and hereafter paid to
me and shares of the Company's Common Stock I have received or will receive in
excess of the number of shares purchased with cash and/or property, I hereby
agree as follows:
NONDISCLOSURE
1.1 Recognition of Company's Rights; Nondisclosure. At all times during my
employment and thereafter, I will hold in strictest confidence and will not
disclose, use, lecture upon or publish any of the Company's Proprietary
Information (defined below), except as such disclosure, use or publication may
be required in connection with my work for the Company, or unless an officer of
the Company expressly authorizes such in writing. I will obtain Company's
written approval before publishing or submitting for publication any material
(written, verbal, or otherwise) that relates to my work at Company and/or
incorporates any Proprietary Information. I hereby assign to the Company any
rights I may have or acquire in such Proprietary Information and recognize that
all Proprietary Information shall be the sole property of the Company and its
assigns. I have been informed and acknowledge that the unauthorized taking of
the Company's trade secrets could result in a civil liability under [INSERT
APPROPRIATE NEVADA CODE REFERENCE], and that, if willful, could result in an
award for double the amount of the Company's damages and attorneys' fees; and is
a crime under [INSERT APPROPRIATE NEVADA CODE REFERENCE], punishable by
[________].
1.2 Proprietary Information. The term "Proprietary Information" shall mean
any and all confidential and/or proprietary knowledge, data or information of
the Company. By way of illustration but not limitation, "Proprietary
Information" includes (a) trade secrets, inventions, mask works, ideas,
processes, formulas, source and object codes, data, programs, other works of
authorship, know-how, improvements, discoveries, developments, designs and
techniques (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Inventions"); and (b)
information regarding plans for research, development, new products, marketing
and selling, business plans, budgets and unpublished financial statements,
licenses, prices and costs, suppliers and customers; and (c) information
regarding the skills and compensation of other employees of the Company.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, it is understood that, at all such times, I am
free to use information which is generally known in the trade or industry, which
is not gained as result of a breach of this Agreement, and my own skill,
knowledge, know-how and experience to whatever extent and in whichever way I
wish.
1.3 Third Party Information. I understand, in addition, that the Company
has received and in the future will receive from third parties confidential or
proprietary information ("Third Party Information") subject to a duty on the
Company's part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it
only for certain limited purposes. During the term of my employment and
thereafter, I will hold Third Party Information in the strictest confidence and
will not disclose to anyone (other than Company personnel who need to know such
information in connection with their work for the Company) or use, except in
connection with my work for the Company, Third Party Information unless
expressly authorized by an officer of the Company in writing.
1.4 No Improper Use of Information of Prior Employers and Others. During my
employment by the Company I will not improperly use or disclose any confidential
information or trade secrets, if any, of any former employer or any other person
to whom I have an obligation of confidentiality, and I will not bring onto the
premises of the Company any unpublished documents or any property belonging to
any former employer or any other person to whom I have an obligation of
confidentiality unless consented to in writing by that former employer or
person. I will use in the performance of my duties only information which is
generally known and used by persons with training and experience comparable to
my own, which is common knowledge in the industry or otherwise legally in the
public domain, or which is otherwise provided or developed by the Company.
2. ASSIGNMENT OF INVENTIONS.
2.1 Proprietary Rights. The term "Proprietary Rights" shall mean all trade
secret, patent, copyright, mask work and other intellectual property rights
throughout the world.
2.2 Prior Inventions. Inventions, if any, patented or unpatented, which I
made prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company are excluded
from the scope of this Agreement. To preclude any possible uncertainty, I have
set forth on Exhibit A (Previous Inventions) attached hereto a complete list of
all Inventions that I have, alone or jointly with others, conceived, developed
or reduced to practice or caused to be conceived, developed or reduced to
practice prior to the commencement of my employment with the Company, that I
consider to be my property or the property of third parties and that I wish to
have excluded from the scope of this Agreement (collectively referred to as
"Prior Inventions"). If disclosure of any such Prior Invention would cause me to
violate any prior confidentiality agreement, I understand that I am not to list
such Prior Inventions in Exhibit A but am only to disclose a cursory name for
each such invention, a listing of the party(ies) to whom it belongs and the fact
that full disclosure as to such inventions has not been made for that reason. A
space is provided on Exhibit A for such purpose. If no such disclosure is
attached, I represent that there are no Prior Inventions. If, in the course of
my employment with the Company, I incorporate a Prior Invention into a Company
product, process or machine, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a
nonexclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with
rights to sublicense through multiple tiers of sublicensees) to make, have made,
modify, use and sell such Prior Invention. Notwithstanding the foregoing, I
agree that I will not incorporate, or permit to be incorporated, Prior
Inventions in any Company Inventions without the Company's prior written
consent.
2.3 Assignment of Inventions. Subject to Section 2.5, I hereby assign and
agree to assign in the future (when any such Inventions or Proprietary Rights
are first reduced to practice or first fixed in a tangible medium, as
applicable) to the Company all my right, title and interest in and to any and
all Inventions (and all Proprietary Rights with respect thereto) whether or not
patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes, made or conceived
or reduced to practice or learned by me, either alone or jointly with others,
during the period of my employment with the Company. Inventions assigned to the
Company, or to a third party as directed by the Company pursuant to this Section
2, are hereinafter referred to as "Company Inventions."
2.4 Obligation to Keep Company Informed. During the period of my employment
and for twelve (12) months after termination of my employment with the Company,
I will promptly disclose to the Company fully and in writing all Inventions
authored, conceived or reduced to practice by me, either alone or jointly with
others. In addition, I will promptly disclose to the Company all patent
applications filed by me or on my behalf within a year after termination of
employment. At the time of each such disclosure, I will advise the Company in
writing of any Inventions that I believe fully qualify for protection under
[INSERT APPROPRIATE NEVADA CODE REFERENCE]; and I will at that time provide to
the Company in writing all evidence necessary to substantiate that belief. The
Company will keep in confidence and will not use for any purpose or disclose to
third parties without my consent any confidential information disclosed in
writing to the Company pursuant to this Agreement relating to Inventions that
qualify fully for protection under the provisions of [INSERT APPROPRIATE NEVADA
CODE REFERENCE]. I will preserve the confidentiality of any Invention that does
not fully qualify for protection under [INSERT APPROPRIATE NEVADA CODE
REFERENCE].
2.5 Government or Third Party. I also agree to assign all my right, title
and interest in and to any particular Company Invention to a third party,
including without limitation the United States, as directed by the Company.
2.6 Works for Hire. I acknowledge that all original works of authorship
which are made by me (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of my
employment and which are protectable by copyright are "works made for hire,"
pursuant to United States Copyright Act (17 U.S.C., Section 101).
2.7 Enforcement of Proprietary Rights. I will assist the Company in every
proper way to obtain, and from time to time enforce, United States and foreign
Proprietary Rights relating to Company Inventions in any and all countries. To
that end I will execute, verify and deliver such documents and perform such
other acts (including appearances as a witness) as the Company may reasonably
request for use in applying for, obtaining, perfecting, evidencing, sustaining
and enforcing such Proprietary Rights and the assignment thereof. In addition, I
will execute, verify and deliver assignments of such Proprietary Rights to the
Company or its designee. My obligation to assist the Company with respect to
Proprietary Rights relating to such Company Inventions in any and all countries
shall continue beyond the termination of my employment, but the Company shall
compensate me at a reasonable rate after my termination for the time actually
spent by me at the Company's request on such assistance.
In the event the Company is unable for any reason, after reasonable effort,
to secure my signature on any document needed in connection with the actions
specified in the preceding paragraph, I hereby irrevocably designate and appoint
the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney
in fact, which appointment is coupled with an interest, to act for and in my
behalf to execute, verify and file any such documents and to do all other
lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes of the preceding paragraph with
the same legal force and effect as if executed by me. I hereby waive and
quitclaim to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which I
now or may hereafter have for infringement of any Proprietary Rights assigned
hereunder to the Company.
3. RECORDS. I agree to keep and maintain adequate and current records (in
the form of notes, sketches, drawings and in any other form that may be required
by the Company) of all Proprietary Information developed by me and all
Inventions made by me during the period of my employment at the Company, which
records shall be available to and remain the sole property of the Company at all
times.
4. ADDITIONAL ACTIVITIES. I agree that during the period of my employment
by the Company I will not, without the Company's express written consent, engage
in any employment or business activity which is competitive with, or would
otherwise conflict with, my employment by the Company. I agree further that for
the period of my employment by the Company and for one (l) year after the date
of termination of my employment by the Company I will not, either directly or
through others, solicit or attempt to solicit any employee, independent
contractor or consultant of the company to terminate his or her relationship
with the Company in order to become an employee, consultant or independent
contractor to or for any other person or entity. I agree further that for the
period of my employment by the Company and for one (1) year after the date of
termination of my employment by the Company I will not solicit the business of
any client or customer of the Company (other than on behalf of the Company).
5. NO CONFLICTING OBLIGATION. I represent that my performance of all the
terms of this Agreement and as an employee of the Company does not and will not
breach any agreement to keep in confidence information acquired by me in
confidence or in trust prior to my employment by the Company. I have not entered
into, and I agree I will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in
conflict herewith.
6. RETURN OF COMPANY DOCUMENTS. When I leave the employ of the Company, I
will deliver to the Company any and all drawings, notes, memoranda,
specifications, devices, formulas, and documents, together with all copies
thereof, and any other material containing or disclosing any Company Inventions,
Third Party Information or Proprietary Information of the Company. I further
agree that any property situated on the Company's premises and owned by the
Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work
areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without
notice. Prior to leaving, I will cooperate with the Company in completing and
signing the Company's termination statement.
7. LEGAL AND EQUITABLE REMEDIES. Because my services are personal and
unique and because I may have access to and become acquainted with the
Proprietary Information of the Company, the Company shall have the right to
enforce this Agreement and any of its provisions by injunction, specific
performance or other equitable relief, without bond and without prejudice to any
other rights and remedies that the Company may have for a breach of this
Agreement.
8. NOTICES. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to
the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as
the party shall specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon
personal delivery to the appropriate address or if sent by certified or
registered mail, three (3) days after the date of mailing.
9. NOTIFICATION OF NEW EMPLOYER. In the event that I leave the employ of
the Company, I hereby consent to the notification of my new employer of my
rights and obligations under this Agreement.
10. GENERAL PROVISIONS.
10.1 Governing Law; Consent to Personal Jurisdiction. This Agreement will
be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of Nevada, as
such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely
within Nevada between Nevada residents. I hereby expressly consent to the
personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in [______]
County, Nevada for any lawsuit filed there against me by Company arising from or
related to this Agreement.
10.2 Severability. In case any one or more of the provisions contained in
this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability
shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement
shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had
never been contained herein. If moreover, any one or more of the provisions
contained in this Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad
as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it shall be construed
by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible
with the applicable law as it shall then appear.
10.3 Successors and Assigns. This Agreement will be binding upon my heirs,
executors, administrators and other legal representatives and will be for the
benefit of the Company, its successors, and its assigns.
10.4 Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the
termination of my employment and the assignment of this Agreement by the Company
to any successor in interest or other assignee.
10.5 Employment. I agree and understand that nothing in this Agreement
shall confer any right with respect to continuation of employment by the
Company, nor shall it interfere in any way with my right or the Company's right
to terminate my employment at any time, with or without cause.
10.6 Waiver. No waiver by the Company of any breach of this Agreement shall
be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach. No waiver by the Company of
any right under this Agreement shall be construed as a waiver of any other
right. The Company shall not be required to give notice to enforce strict
adherence to all terms of this Agreement.
10.7 Advice of Counsel. I acknowledge that, in executing this agreement, I
have had the opportunity to seek the advice of independent legal counsel, and I
have read and understood all of the terms and provisions of this agreement. This
agreement shall not be construed against any party by reason of the drafting or
preparation hereof.
10.8 Entire Agreement. The obligations pursuant to Sections 1 and 2 of this
Agreement shall apply to any time during which I was previously employed, or am
in the future employed, by the Company as a consultant if no other agreement
governs nondisclosure and assignment of inventions during such period. This
Agreement is the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties with
respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and merges all prior
discussions between us. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor
any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, will be effective unless in
writing and signed by the party to be charged. Any subsequent change or changes
in my duties, salary or compensation will not affect the validity or scope of
this Agreement.
This Agreement shall be effective as of the first day of my employment with
the Company, namely:
I HAVE READ THIS AGREEMENT CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND ITS TERMS. I HAVE COMPLETELY
FILLED OUT EXHIBIT A TO THIS AGREEMENT.
