(including, without limitation, information created by, discovered or developed by, or made known to, Employee during the period of or arising out of employment by Employer) and/or in which property rights have been assigned or otherwise conveyed to Employer, which information has commercial value in the business in which Employer is engaged (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Proprietary Information").

EX-10.R14th Page of 23TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 14th
during or after the termination of his employment, disclose to any person or entity any of the Proprietary Information of Employer and Employee will not or permit any person or entity to examine and/or make copies of any documents which contain or are derived from any Proprietary Information, whether prepared by Employee or otherwise coming into Employee's possession or control, without the prior written consent of Employer. Employee will not make any use of Proprietary Information except in the discharge of Employee's duties as an employee of Employer; (b) All documents, records, apparatus, equipment and other physical property, whether or not pertaining to the Proprietary Information, furnished to Employee by Employer or produced by Employee or others in connection with employment shall be and remain the sole property of Employer and shall be returned to Employer immediately as and when requested by Employer. Even if Employer does not so request, Employee shall return and deliver all such property to Employer upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, and Employee will not take with him any such property or any reproduction of such property upon such termination or expiration.

patentable or registrable under copyright or similar statutes or subject to analogous protection, made or conceived or reduced to practice or learned by Employee, either alone or jointly with others, during the term of employment (all such improvements, formulas, ideas, processes, techniques, know-how, data, computer software, documentation, proposals and writings are hereinafter collectively referred to as "Developments" and individually as a "Development"); (d) Employee agrees that all Developments which Employee develops (in whole or in part), either alone or jointly with others, and (i) uses equipment, supplies, facilities or Proprietary Information of Employer, or (ii) uses the hours for which Employee is to be compensated by Employer, or (iii) which relate to the business of Employer or to its actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development, or (iv) which result, in whole or in part, from work performed by Employee for Employer, shall immediately become the sole and absolute property of Employer and its assigns, and Employee hereby assigns any rights Employee may have or acquire in the Developments and benefits and/or rights resulting therefrom to Employer and its assigns without further compensation and Employee agrees to communicate, without cost or delay, and without publishing the same, all available information relating thereto (with necessary plans and models) to Employer. Upon disclosure of each Development to Employer, Employee will, during the term of this Agreement and at any time thereafter, at the request and cost of Employer, sign, execute, make and do all -15-
EX-10.R16th Page of 23TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 16th
such deeds, documents, acts and things as Employer and its duly authorized agents may require: (i) to apply for, obtain and vest in the name of Employer alone (unless Employer otherwise directs) letters patent, copyrights or other analogous protection in any country throughout the world and when so obtained or vested to renew and restore the same; and (ii) to defend any opposition proceedings in respect of such applications and any opposition proceedings or petitions or applications for revocation of letters patent, copyright or analogous protection; and (e) In the event that Employer is unable, for any reason whatsoever, to secure Employee's signature on any letters patent, copyright or analogous protection relating to any Development (including applications, renewals, extensions, continuations and divisions), Employee hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Employer and its duly authorized officers and agents as Employee's agent and attorney-in-fact, to act for and in behalf of and stead to execute and file any such application (or otherwise) and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the prosecution and issuance of letters patent, copyright or other analogous protection thereon with the same legal force and effect as if executed by Employee. -16-
EX-10.R17th Page of 23TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 17th
ARTICLE VIII COVENANT NOT TO COMPETE ----------------------- 8.01 Employee understands and agrees that much of Employer's success, on an international level, has been due to its ability to create, commercially exploit and maintain the secrecy of significant trade secrets, proprietary and confidential information, all of which are recognized as and agreed to be valuable assets of Employer. It is further recognized that Employer's continued success and competitive advantage in the marketplace is dependent upon its ability to prohibit access to any and all of these valuable assets, both as they currently exist and as they are subsequently expanded, added to, varied and/or modified, by any person not in the employ of Employer. Accordingly, in consideration of Employee's employment by Employer and the compensation received pursuant to this Agreement, including, without limitation, as provided in Sections 6.01 and 6.02, respectively, Employee hereby agrees to the following: (a) During the term of Employee's employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination of employment for any reason, Employee shall not become, directly or indirectly, involved, whether alone or as a partner, joint venturer, franchisee, franchisor, officer, director, employee, independent contractor, employer, agent, shareholder or other owner of greater than one percent (1%) in any of the competitors of Employer named on Exhibit C attached hereto and made a part hereof. --------- (b) During the term of employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination of Employee's employment for any reason, -17-
EX-10.R18th Page of 23TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 18th
Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit or induce or attempt to solicit or induce, any employee, consultant or independent contractor of Employer or Virtual Megalab to leave Employer or Virtual Megalab for any reason whatsoever or hire any employee, consultant or independent contractor of Employer or Virtual Megalab. (c) During the term of employment hereunder and for a period of twelve (12) months after the termination of Employee's employment for any reason, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, solicit the trade of or trade with, or otherwise do business with any client or customer of Employer or Virtual Megalab so as to offer or sell any product or services which would be competitive with any products or services sold by Employer or Virtual Megalab during the term of this Agreement or any products or services which Employee knows are being developed by Employer or Virtual Megalab during the term of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Section 8.01(c) shall not apply to consulting services provided directly to such clients or customers of Employer or Virtual Megalab. (d) During the term of employment hereunder, Employee shall not take any action which might divert from Employer or Virtual Megalab any opportunity which would be within the scope of any present or contemplated future business of Employer or Virtual Megalab. -18-
EX-10.R19th Page of 23TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 19th
ARTICLE IX PRIOR EMPLOYMENT, INVENTIONS ---------------------------- 9.01 Employee represents that his performance of all of the terms of this Agreement and as an employee of Employer does not and will not breach any agreement to keep in confidence proprietary information acquired by Employee in confidence or trust prior to employment by Employer. Employee has not entered into, and agrees that he will not enter into, any agreement either written or oral in conflict herewith. 9.02 As a matter of record, Employee attaches hereto as Exhibit D a --------- complete list of all inventions, improvements and developments relevant to the subject matter of his employment by Employer which have been made or conceived or first reduced to practice by him, alone or jointly with others, prior to the effective date of this Agreement, that Employee desires to remove from the operation of this Agreement and Employee represents that such list is complete. If no such list is attached to this Agreement, Employee represents that he has no such inventions, improvements and developments that he desires to remove from the operation of this Agreement. ARTICLE X CONSIDERATION FOR RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS --------------------------------------- 10.01(a) The primary intent of Employer throughout this Agreement, and with particular emphasis on Article VIII hereof, is to secure from Employee his Covenant Not To Compete against Employer by becoming directly or indirectly involved with competitors. The parties agree that the payments to be made by Employer to Employee and the restrictions upon Employee's -19-
EX-10.R20th Page of 23TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 20th
activities, in the event of the occurrence of any of the stated circumstances, are fair, reasonable and will not be onerous or unduly burdensome to Employee. Employee further agrees that the compensation provided for in the Agreement and the potential Bonus adequately compensates Employee for his agreement to enter into the restrictive covenants and acknowledges that his experience and capabilities are such that the provisions of this Agreement will not prevent him from earning a livelihood, particularly with respect to potential employers which are not listed on Exhibit C. --------- (b) It is understood and agreed that an actual or threatened breach by Employee of any of the provisions of Articles VII or VIII hereof may immediately result in a significant and substantial impairment of Employer's competitive advantage and position in the marketplace, which may or could threaten the continued viability and/or success of Employer. It is further agreed that Employer may have no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of a reasonably perceived actual or threatened breach of any provisions of Article VII or VIII, Employee acknowledges and agrees that a breach of this Agreement by him will cause irreparable damage to Employer. In the event of such breach, Employer shall be entitled to, in addition to any and all remedies at law, an injunction restraining Employee from violating any of said provisions, specific performance or other equitable relief to prevent the violation of Employee's obligations hereunder. These remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other remedy available to Employer. -20-
EX-10.R21st Page of 23TOC1stPreviousNextBottomJust 21st
(c) It is further understood and agreed that for purposes of interpreting any of the provisions of Articles VII of VIII, the term "Employer" shall include any successor, assign, subsidiary or division of Employer. ARTICLE XI MISCELLANEOUS ------------- 11.01 Severability. If any clause or provision herein shall be held ------------ to be invalid, void or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired and such provisions shall remain in full force and effect. 11.02 Governing Law.

The failure of either Employee or Employer at any ---------- time to require the performance of the other of any of the provisions herein shall in no way affect the respective rights of Employee or Employer to enforce the same nor shall the waiver by Employee or Employer of any breach of any provisions hereof be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach or as a waiver or modification of the provisions of the Agreement itself. 11.05 Binding Effect. The provisions of this Agreement shall be -------------- binding upon and inure to the benefit of both parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns. 11.06 Article and Section Headings.
