Upon the effective date of his resignation, he will also be required to enter into the Company's customary form of general release agreement. The agreement further provides that Mr. Bedi will be free to consult with and advise third parties on technology-related matters, provided such consulting activities do not interfere with the performance of his duties as described above and such activities do not involve any persons engaged in a business which is the same or substantially similar to the businesses carried on by the Company.
