7. Confidentiality

7.1 During the Subject Period and at all times thereafter, Employee agrees and acknowledges that the Confidential Information (as defined below) of Company is valuable, special and unique to its business; that such business depends on such Confidential Information; and that Company wishes to protect such Confidential Information by keeping it confidential for the exclusive use and benefit of Company. Employee further acknowledges that any use by him of the Confidential Information other than in strict accordance with the terms of this Agreement would be wrongful and would cause the Company and the Group irreparable injury. Based upon the foregoing, with respect to such Confidential Information, Employee agrees:

7.1.1           to keep any and all Confidential Information in trust for the sole use and benefit of Company;

7.1.2           except as required by applicable law, regulation or court order or as required in furtherance of the business of Company in accordance with the terms hereof, not to use or disclose or reproduce, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information of Company;

7.2 For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any and all information developed by or for or possessed by Company that is (A) not generally known in any industry in which Company does business as of the date hereof or during the Term or (B) not known to Employee prior to his involvement with Company (including for this purpose information that is publicly available because of a breach by Employee of the provisions hereof). Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, the information identified in Section 7.1 above (including, without limitation, personnel records and applications, employment and other employee agreements, medical records, employee appraisals, reviews and evaluations, general wage and salary rates and individual salaries and bonuses and plans and records relating thereto, numbers of employees in departments and divisions, employee benefit plans and incentive plans), and any and all other information developed by or for or possessed by Company concerning information technology, marketing and sales methods, concepts, materials, products, processes, procedures, formulae, innovations, discoveries, improvements, inventions, protocols, computer programs, records, data, know-how, techniques, designs, research and development projects, data, business forms, strategies, plans for development of products, services or expansion into new areas or markets, internal operations, product price lists, forecasts, projections, financial information (including the revenues, costs or profits associated with the products and services of the Company) and any other trade secrets and proprietary information of any type owned by or pertaining to Company, together with all written, graphic, facsimile, encoded, recorded and other materials relating to all or any part of the same.

7.3 In furtherance of the foregoing and as a further inducement for being employed by Company under this Agreement, Employee agrees to execute a confidentiality and assignment of inventions agreement if requested by Company.

8. Compliance With Laws

8.1 In performing his duties hereunder, Employee agrees to comply with all applicable governmental laws, rules and regulations and all applicable policies and procedures of Company in written form or not reduced to writing if known to Employee.

9. Notices

9.1       All notices, requests, consents and other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been duly given if delivered personally or sent by prepaid telegram, or mailed first-class, postage prepaid, as follows:

or as such other addresses as either party may specify by written notice to the other as provided in this Section 9.1.

10. General

10.1         It is acknowledged that the rights of Company under this Agreement are of a special, unique, and intellectual character which gives them a peculiar value, and that a breach of any provision of this Agreement (particularly, but not limited to, the provisions of Sections 6 and 7 hereof), will cause Company irreparable injury and damage which cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated in damages in an action at law. Accordingly, without limiting any right or remedy which Company may have in the premises, Employee specifically agrees that Company shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to enforce and protect its rights under this Agreement.

10.2         This Agreement sets forth the entire agreement and understanding of the parties hereto, and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements, and understandings. Nothing herein contained shall be construed so as to require the commission of any act contrary to law and wherever there is any conflict between any provision of this Agreement and any present or future statute, law, ordinance or regulation, the latter shall prevail, but in such event the provision of this Agreement affected shall be curtailed and limited only to the extent necessary to bring it within legal requirements. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, in the event that any compensation or other monies payable hereunder shall be in excess of the amount permitted by any such statute, law, ordinance, or regulation, payment of the maximum amount allowed thereby shall constitute full compliance by Company with the payment requirements of this Agreement.

10.3         No representation, promise, or inducement has been made by either party that is not embodied in this Agreement, and neither party shall be bound by or liable for any alleged representation, promise, or inducement not so set forth. The section headings contained herein are for reference purposes only and shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10.4         The provisions of this Agreement shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto, their heirs, legal representatives, successors, and assigns. This Agreement, and Employee's rights and obligations hereunder, may not be assigned by Employee. Company may assign its rights, together with its obligations, hereunder in connection with any sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of its business and assets. Company may also assign this Agreement to any affiliate of Company; provided, however, that no such assignment shall (unless Employee shall so agree in writing) release Company of liability directly to Employee for the due performance of all of the terms, covenants, and conditions of this Agreement to be complied with and performed by Company. The term "affiliate", as used in this agreement, shall mean any corporation, firm, partnership, or other entity controlling, controlled by or under common control with Company. The term "control" (including "controlling", "controlled by", and "under common control with"), as used in the preceding sentence, shall be deemed to mean the possession, directly or indirectly, of the power to direct or cause the direction of the management and policies of such corporation, firm, partnership, or other entity, whether through ownership of voting securities or by contract or otherwise.

10.5         This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended, and the terms or covenants hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument executed by both of the parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. The failure of either party at any time or times to require performance of any provisions hereof shall in no manner affect the right at a later time to enforce the same. No waiver by either party of the breach of any term or covenant contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be, or construed as, a further or continuing waiver of any such breach, or a waiver of the breach of any other term or covenant contained in this Agreement.

10.6         This Agreement shall be governed by and construed according to the laws of the State of California applicable to agreements to be wholly performed therein without regard to conflict of laws principles.

10.7         During the Term and for period of 12 months thereafter, Employee shall not, whether on his own behalf or on behalf of any other individual or business entity, solicit, endeavor to entice away from Company, a Subsidiary or any affiliated company, or otherwise interfere with the relationship of Company, a Subsidiary or any affiliated company with any person who is, or was within the then most recent 12 month period, an employee or associate thereof.

10.8         To the extent permitted by applicable law, any controversy or dispute arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or any alleged breach hereof, shall be settled by arbitration in Los Angeles, California in accordance with the commercial rules of the American Arbitration Association then in existence (to the extent such rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement), it being understood and agreed that the arbitration panel shall consist of three individuals acceptable to the parties hereto. In the event that the parties cannot agree on three arbitrators within 20 days following receipt by one party of a demand for arbitration from another party, then Company and Employee shall each designate one arbitrator and the two arbitrators selected shall select the third arbitrator. The arbitration panel so selected shall convene a hearing no later than 90 days following the selection of the panel. The arbitration award shall be final and

binding upon the parties, and judgment may be entered thereon in the California Superior Court or in any other court of competent jurisdiction.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement as of the date first above written.
