EX-10.35th Page of 10TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 5th
ARTICLE XV MEDIATION/ARBITRATION OF DISPUTES --------------------------------- 15.1 Mediation Agreement. The EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all controversies between them will be submitted to mediation upon terms mutually agreeable to both parties. In the event the parties do not resolve the controversies through mediation, then the EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE agree that, to the fullest extent permitted by law, any and all said controversies between them will be submitted for resolution to binding arbitration. The parties understand and agree that in the event mediation is unsuccessful, then arbitration will be the exclusive forum for resolving disputes between them, including statutory claims and all disputes arising out of the employment relationship and the termination of such relationship. The EMPLOYEE and EMPLOYER expressly waive their entitlement, if any, to have controversies between them decided by a court or jury. 15.2 Agreement to Arbitrate All Employment Disputes. Private arbitration is the referral of a dispute to an impartial third party, instead of a court or jury, for a final and binding decision. Any dispute arising out of EMPLOYEE's employment with EMPLOYER including termination of employment and all statutory claims, will be submitted to binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes. Judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE each expressly waive entitlement, if any, to have any such controversy heard before a court or a jury. 15.3 Time Limits for Initiating Arbitration. Either party may, within one year of the occurrence of the event giving rise to the dispute, initiate arbitration by notifying the other in writing. In the case of a dispute involving statutory rights, the party must initiate arbitration within the time limit established by the statute. Failure to initiate arbitration within such one-year period, or the statutory period, or such extended period as may be mutually agreed upon in writing, will constitute a waiver of any and all claims and such claims will be forever barred. 15.4 Selection of the Arbitrator. Both parties will attempt to agree upon a mutually acceptable arbitrator from the American Arbitration Association's national employment panel. If they are unable to agree upon an arbitrator, then an arbitrator will be selected in accordance with the then-current National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. 15.5 Arbitrator's Authority. The arbitration will be conducted according to the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of the American Arbitration Association. The arbitrator will base the decision on the facts presented at the hearing and in accordance with governing law, including statutory and judicial authority. The arbitrator must follow the policies of EMPLOYER in effect at the time of the event giving rise to the dispute. The arbitrator will not have authority to modify or revoke this Arbitration Agreement, EMPLOYEE's Employment Agreement, or any EMPLOYER policy. The arbitrator's decision will be final and binding upon both parties. Except as provided in paragraph seven (7) below, each party will bear its own attorneys' fees and costs in connection with the arbitration. The cost of the arbitrator will be shared equally by both parties. 15.6 Right of Representation. All parties are entitled to representation by counsel or by any other person whom the party designates. 15.7 Discovery. The parties may engage in discovery to the extent permitted under the California Arbitration Act. The arbitrator will rule on all discovery disputes and may limit discovery to that reasonably necessary to arbitrate the issues presented. 15.8 Remedies. The arbitrator may award such remedy as he deems just and equitable, including any remedy that would have been available if the matter had been heard in court. Any remedies awarded, however, will be awarded for the purpose of making the injured party whole and will be limited to actual and foreseeable damages proximately caused by the event giving rise to liability and will, where applicable, be limited by the terms of EMPLOYEE's Employment Agreement. The arbitrator can award punitive damages to the extent permitted by statute or common law. In addition, an arbitrator may award reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing party if such fees are specifically allowed by statute for the violation found by the arbitrator. 15.9 Right to File Administrative Complaint. Nothing in this Agreement will prevent EMPLOYEE from filing a complaint with the Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, or any other federal or state agency charged with protecting the rights of EMPLOYEE. 5

15.10 Not withstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the provisions of this Article XV shall not apply to any dispute, controversy, claim or the like between EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE arising out of or in connection with the Confidentiality Agreement attached hereto Exhibit B. In any such case the terms and conditions of said Confidentiality Agreement shall apply. ARTICLE XVI COOPERATION ----------- Both parties to this Agreement agree to use their best efforts to cooperate with one another in good faith. ARTICLE XVII NO THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES ---------------------------- Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended or shall be construed to confer upon any person, firm or corporation other than the parties hereto and their respective successors or assigns, any remedy or claim under or by reason of this Agreement or any term, covenant or condition hereof, as third party beneficiaries or otherwise, and all of the terms, covenants and conditions hereof shall be for the sole and exclusive benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns. ARTICLE XVIII ENTIRE AGREEMENT ---------------- This Agreement states the entire contract between the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes any oral or written proposals, statements, discussions, negotiations, or other agreements before or contemporaneous to this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that they have not been induced to enter into this Agreement by any oral or written representations or statements not expressly contained in this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified only by mutual agreement of the parties provided that, before any modification shall be operative or valid, it be reduced to writing and signed by both parties. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement on that day and year, set forth hereinabove. EMPLOYER -------- MR3 SYSTEMS, INC. ----------------- By: /s/ RANDALL S.

EXHIBIT "B" ----------- CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT ------------------------- THIS AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of this 1st day of January, 2003, by and between: MR3 Systems, Inc. ("EMPLOYER "), a Delaware corporation, whose address is 435 Brannan Street, Suite 200, San Francisco, California 94107, and Jody J. Sitkoski ("EMPLOYEE"), whose address is 8180 Kane Road, Fountain, CO 80817. EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE, respectively, may each from time to time be individually referred to herein as a "Party", or collectively as the "Parties", or, as the case may be, as the "EMPLOYER" or the "EMPLOYEE". WHEREAS: A. EMPLOYER and EMPLOYEE have entered into a Employment Agreement ("Employee Agreement"); and B. From time to time prior to and during the term of the Employment Agreement, EMPLOYER may disclose confidential and proprietary information to the EMPLOYEE. NOW IT IS HEREBY AGREED as follows: 1. EMPLOYEE hereby agrees to undertake the following with respect to the confidential information listed below and hereby defined as "Confidential Information": (a) all kinds of drawings, sketches, photographs, layouts, artwork, specifications, including without limitation design, manufacturing, installing, and operating drawings (e.g., copies, films, reproductions, etc.) for the MR3 Technology and/or the operation of a EMPLOYER System, and other related products and matters ("Products"); (b) EMPLOYER's financial and pricing information, business plans, research and development, work in progress, existing and potential commercial relationships, services or marketing plans, information embodied in its technologies, including equipment, systems, software, codes, products or chemical formulas, media, operations, manuals, designs, letters, negotiation documents, product descriptions, part descriptions, data, reports, plans, proposals, know-how, methodology, brochures, descriptions, and other documents and objects of every description and all related information; and 2. All Confidential Information shall be treated by the EMPLOYEE as confidential, shall be kept secret by the EMPLOYEE, shall not be disclosed, directly or indirectly, by the EMPLOYEE to any third party without the express written consent of the EMPLOYER and shall be used by the EMPLOYEE exclusively for the purposes of performing his obligations under, and otherwise complying with the terms and conditions of, the Employee Agreement, including all attachments, exhibits and schedules thereto. 3. The obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure and the restrictions of use contained herein shall not apply to information, which the EMPLOYEE can demonstrate: (a) is available to the public at the time it is disclosed or thereafter becomes available to the public; or (b) is known to the EMPLOYEE at the time of disclosure; or (c) properly comes into the possession of the EMPLOYEE from an independent source not bound by a confidentiality obligation. 8
EX-10.39th Page of 10TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 9th
However, specific aspects of the Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be within the scope of exceptions (a), (b) and (c) above merely because they are broadly encompassed by more general information which is in the public domain or in the EMPLOYEE's possession or is disclosed to the EMPLOYEE by a third party. 4. EMPLOYEE further agrees that without the express prior written permission of EMPLOYER: (a) it will not use the Confidential Information of MR3 to operate (or subcontract others to operate) any high affinity metals capture technology similar to the MR3 System or to produce (or subcontract others to produce) Products or any similar items for anyone other than MR3 ; and (b) it will not use or otherwise disclose any such Confidential Information to any third party. 5. EMPLOYEE confirms that the Confidential Information has been and shall remain the sole property of the EMPLOYER and upon receipt of a request from the EMPLOYER, agrees to immediately return to the EMPLOYER any Confidential Information, including any drawings, photographs, specifications or other documents in its possession without retaining any summaries, photocopies or other reproductions of the above. 6. EMPLOYEE further confirms that any Confidential Information received has been and shall remain the property of the EMPLOYER, and the EMPLOYEE shall not claim or apply for any kind of intellectual property rights pertaining to or relevant to the Confidential Information. 7. EMPLOYEE acknowledges that the remedies provided by law for a violation of his obligations would be inadequate and that the EMPLOYER will be irreparably damaged in the event of a breach of this Agreement. Consequently, EMPLOYER shall be entitled to, and the EMPLOYEE shall not in any way object to, an injunction restraining any violation of this Agreement, or any appropriate decree of specific performance, without any bond or other security, or any proof of irreparable damage, being required. 8. The obligations of confidentiality and non-disclosure and the restrictions of use contained herein shall continue for a period of ninety-nine (99) years from the last date that Confidential Information is furnished by a EMPLOYER to a EMPLOYEE. 9. This Agreement may not be modified, amended, rescinded, canceled or waived in whole or in part, except by written instrument, signed by both parties, which makes specific reference to this Agreement and which specifies that this Agreement is being amended or otherwise altered. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of either Party, but only by a writing executed by both Parties. 10. This Agreement will be binding upon permitted successors and assignees of the Parties. . 11. (a) If during the course of any litigation, whether or not the EMPLOYEE is a party to such litigation, the EMPLOYEE is requested or required to disclose Confidential Information obtained under the scope of this Agreement, the EMPLOYEE shall immediately notify EMPLOYER of this fact prior to divulging the Confidential Information and shall give EMPLOYER adequate notice of the requests or requirement so as to allow EMPLOYER sufficient time to seek judicial protection of the Confidential Information. (b) In the event that any Confidential Information within the possession of the EMPLOYEE is believed by the EMPLOYEE to have fallen recently within an exception set forth in Section 3 above and is, therefore, not Confidential Information, then the EMPLOYEE shall, at least sixty (60) days prior to any disclosure or use of such information for any purpose, notify EMPLOYER of this fact in writing. 9
EX-10.3Last Page of 10TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 10th
14. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California. The Parties hereby agree that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement may be brought in the courts of the State of California and the Parties hereby irrevocably submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of, but not limited to, the courts of the State of California. 15. Each Party agrees to pay all attorneys' fees and associated expenses in connection with this Agreement in the event of default or in the event that the other Party seeks to enforce its rights under any provision of this Agreement. 16. If 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 any other provisions of this Agreement, but 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 the Agreement shall for any reason be held to be excessively broad as to time, 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 exist. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the duly authorized representatives of the Parties have signed this Agreement as of January 1, 2003. EMPLOYER MR3 SYSTEMS, INC. By: /s/ RANDALL S.
