Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to, (i) technical knowledge, information and material such as trade secrets, processes, formulas, data, know-how, improvements, inventions, computer programs, drawings, patents, and experimental and development work techniques, an d(ii) marketing and other information such as supplier lists, customer lists, marketing and business plans, business or technical needs of customers, consultants, licensees or suppliers and their methods of doing business, arrangements with customers, consultants, licenses or suppliers, manuals and personnel records or data.

Covenant Not To Compete.
(a)
In consideration for Employer entering into this Agreement, save for the current activities of the other businesses that Employee is at the date of this Agreement involved in as a result of his relationship and positions with various of the Trans Continental and Pearlman Group's of companies, Employee covenants and agrees that during the Service Period and for the eighteen (18) months period thereafter, Employee will, neither individually nor on behalf of any other person or entity, without the express prior written consent of Employer, directly or indirectly, provide to any person or entity any services that are the same or similar to the services Employee provided to Employer in respect to any business activities of such other person or entity which compete with the Internet driven casting, modeling and athletic services business of Employer. Because the Employer's business is international in scope, Employee acknowledges and agrees that the above restrictions shall apply to prevent Employee from providing the prohibited services to any person or entity, wherever located, if the competing business is conducted in any country in which Employer conducts, or, at the time of termination, reasonably expected to conduct, business. Upon the termination of Employee, the business of the Employer is deemed to include all business activities of the Employer (and any parent or subsidiary of Employer) that Employer (and any parent or subsidiary of Employer) engaged in during the one year period prior to the date of termination and all business activities that the Employer had made substantial plans to engage in. Employee will undertake no activities that may lead Employee to compete with or to acquire rival, conflicting or antagonistic interests to those of Employer with respect to the business of Employer, whether alone, as a partner, or as an officer, director, employee, independent contractor, consultant or shareholder holding 15% or more of the outstanding voting stock of any other corporation, or as a trustee, fiduciary or other representative of any other person or entity.
(b)
During the Service Period and for a period of eighteen (18) months after termination of employment, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, on its behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity, solicit or induce, or hire, any other employee of Employer or any parent or affiliate to leave his or her employment, or solicit or induce, or contract with, any consultant or independent contractor to sever that person's relationship with Employer.
5

(c)
If any court shall determine that the duration of geographical limit of any covenant contained in this Section 10 is unenforceable, it is the intention of the parties that covenant shall not thereby be terminated but shall be deemed amended to the extent required to render it valid and enforceable, such amendment to apply only in the jurisdiction of the court that has made such adjudication.
(d)
Employee acknowledges and agrees that the covenants contained in Sections 10 and 11 hereof are of the essence in this Agreement, that each of such covenants is reasonable and necessary to protect and preserve the interests, properties, and business of Employer, and that irreparable loss and damage will be suffered by Employer should Employee breach any of such covenants. Employee further represents and acknowledges that he shall not be precluded from gainful engagement in a satisfactory fashion by the enforcement of these provisions.
(e)
This Section 11 shall not be effective in the event Employee is terminated by Employer without Cause.

12.
Availability of Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges and agrees that any breach by him of the provisions of Sections 10 or 11 hereof will cause Employer irreparable injury and damage for which it cannot be adequately compensated in damages. Employee therefore expressly agrees that Employer shall be entitled to seek injunctive and/or other equitable relief, on a temporary of permanent basis to prevent any anticipatory or continuing breach of this Agreement or any part hereof, and is secured as an enforcement. Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by Employer of any right it may have or hereafter acquired to monetary damages by reason of any injury to its property, business or reputation or otherwise arising out of any wrongful act or omission of it.
13.
Survival. The covenants, agreements, representations and warranties contained in or made pursuant to this Agreement shall survive Employee's termination of employment, irrespective of any investigation made by or on behalf of any party.

16.
Waiver. Any waiver by either party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of such provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions shall not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement. All waivers must be in writing.
17.
Binding Effect. Employer's rights and obligations under this Agreement shall not be transferable by assignment or otherwise, and any attempt to do any of the foregoing shall be void. The
