      established itself as an innovative manufacturer of industrial enzymes with
      its
      proprietary C1 fungal strain for highly efficient protein production, a critical
      factor for commercialization of industrial products. With the C1 genome sequence
      information now in hand, Dyadic&#8217;s technology is well suited to identify and
      produce new enzymes, polymers and chemicals from carbohydrate sources. C1 can
      potentially be used to produce <font style="DISPLAY: inline; FONT-SIZE: 10pt; FONT-FAMILY: Times New Roman">enzymes
      involved&#160;in the production of </font>cellulosic ethanol and other chemicals
      from renewable feedstocks. Dyadic's C1 host is also well-suited for low-cost

      Section 4.5 are essential to protect the Confidential Information, business

      goodwill of the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates, and the
      restraints on the Executive imposed by the provisions of this Section 4.5 are
      justified by these legitimate business interests of the Company; and (iii)
      his
      covenants to the Company, its Subsidiaries and their Affiliates set forth in

      by
      any court having equity jurisdiction, by the entry of temporary, preliminary
      and
      permanent injunctions and orders of specific performance, together with an
      accounting therefor, it being expressly acknowledged and agreed by the Executive
      that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to
      the
      Company and its Subsidiaries and that money damages will not provide an adequate
      remedy to the Company and its Subsidiaries. Any such injunction shall be
      available without the posting of any bond or other security, and the Executive
      hereby consents to the issuance of such injunction. The Executive further agrees
      that any such injunctive relief obtained by the Company or its Subsidiaries
      shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, monetary damages and any other
      remedies to which the Company or its Subsidiaries may be entitled. Further,
      in

      provisions of Sections 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 hereof, the Non-Disclosure Period, the
      Non-Interference Period and\or the Non-Competition Period, as the case may
      be,
      shall be tolled until such breach or violation has been cured. The parties
      agree
      that in the event of the institution of any action at law or in equity by either
      party to enforce the provisions of this Article IV, the losing party shall
