The Employment Agreement contains provisions for non-disclosure of confidential information pursuant to which Mr. Aroesty agreed to refrain from using or disclosing to third parties, directly or indirectly, any Confidential Information, as defined in the Employment Agreement, either during or following his employment with the Company.  Furthermore, Mr. Aroesty unconditionally and irrevocably assigned any now-existing or later-created Invention(s), as defined in the Employment Agreement, which are developed during or three (3) years after his employment with the Company.

The Employment Agreement may be terminated with or without reason by either the Company or Mr. Aroesty and at any time, upon sixty (60) days written notice.  The terms of the Employment Agreement will remain effective for one (1) year and will automatically renew, subject to the same termination rights.  Upon termination, the Company will pay any base pay, bonus and benefits that have been earned and are due as of the date of the termination.

The foregoing description of the Employment Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the Employment Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 10.1 and incorporated herein by reference.
