(d) Employee acknowledges and agrees that all files, records, documents, memoranda, notes, lists, records and other documents and written material, including copies thereof, containing or reflecting Confidential Information (whether or not such items are kept or stored in computer memories, microfiche, hard copy or any other manner) made or compiled by Employee or made available to Employee are and remain the property of the Employer and shall be delivered to the Employer promptly upon any termination of this Agreement. Employee further acknowledges and agrees that all equipment, devices and all other items relating to the business of the Employer or its affiliates, whether prepared by or with the assistance of Employee or otherwise coming into his possession, control or knowledge, are and shall remain the exclusive property of the Employer and shall not be removed from the premises of the Employer or its affiliates under any circumstances.

(e) Employees’ use of any trademark, trade name, service mark, insignia, slogan, emblem, symbol, design or other identifying characteristic owned by or associated with the Employer, the Employer’s affiliates, or any entity operated, managed or owned by the Employer or its affiliates (collectively, “Company Marks”) shall be subject to the written approval of the Employer. Employee acknowledges both before and after the expiration of this Agreement the exclusive right of the Employer to use or to grant to others the right or license to use any Company Marks.

(g) Employee acknowledges and agrees that his failure to perform any terms contained in this Agreement would cause irreparable injury to the Employer and cause damages to the Employer that would be difficult to ascertain or quantify and for which the Employer may not have an adequate remedy at law. As such, Employee agrees that the Employer shall be entitled to any proper equitable relief, including, but not limited to, a temporary restraining order and a preliminary or final injunction, to prevent a breach of this Agreement by Employee and to enforce specifically the terms and provisions thereof without the necessity of proving actual damages or securing or posting any bond or providing prior notice, in addition to any other remedies available to the Employer at law or in equity. The restrictions and covenants contained in this Agreement are independent of any other obligations between the parties, and the existence of any other claim or cause of action against the Employer is not a defense to enforcement of said covenants by injunction.

Provided, however, that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prohibit Employee from making such truthful disclosures as are compelled or required by law and as are necessary for legitimate law enforcement or compliance purposes.

8. Assignment. The parties agree that the services covered by this Agreement are strictly personal and that this Agreement is not assignable or transferable by Employee either voluntarily or by operation of law without the prior written consent of the Employer.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any law or set of laws in the State of Nevada requires or otherwise dictates that the laws of another state or jurisdiction must be applied in any proceeding involving this Agreement, such Nevada law or set of laws shall be superseded by this Section and the remaining laws of the State of Nevada nonetheless shall be applied in such proceedings.

11. Arbitration. As a condition of this Agreement the Parties agree to exclusively submit to final and binding arbitration of any and all claims, counterclaims, demands, and causes of action (collectively, “Claims”) arising out of or in any way related to the Agreement. The Parties further are hereby waiving the right to a jury or bench trial with respect to the Claims. Arbitration shall be by a single arbitrator selected by the parties. Each party shall be responsible for its own costs and fees of the arbitration, including, but not limited to attorney’s fees. Arbitrator fees shall be borne equally by the parties.

12. Severability. If any sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same in this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such sentence, paragraph, clause or combination shall be unenforceable in the jurisdiction where it is invalid, and the remainder of this Agreement shall remain binding in such jurisdiction as if such unenforceable provision had not been contained herein. The enforceability of such sentence, paragraph, clause or combination of the same in this Agreement otherwise shall be unaffected and shall remain enforceable in all other jurisdictions.

13. Waiver and Extensions. No waiver of any breach of any term or provision herein shall be deemed a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach thereof or of any other term or provision herein. No extension of time for the performance of any obligation or act hereunder shall be deemed an extension of time for the performance of any other obligations or act hereunder. No failure or delay in the exercise of any right given to either party hereunder shall constitute a waiver thereof.

The parties hereto agree to do such further acts and things and to execute and deliver such additional agreements and instruments as either party hereto may reasonably require to consummate, evidence or confirm the agreements contained herein in the manner contemplated hereby.

16. Construction. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be construed as a whole according to their fair meaning and not strictly for or against any party. The parties acknowledge that each of them has reviewed this Agreement and has had the opportunity of having their attorneys review this Agreement. The normal rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement or of any of its exhibits or amendments.

17. Legal Representation and No Reliance.
