+ CONFIDENTIAL DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT FOR STRATEGIC MATTERS
12
+
13
+ This Confidential Disclosure Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into as of the effective
14
+ date listed below (“Effective Date”) by Oracle Corporation (“Oracle”) located at 500 Oracle
15
+ Parkway, Redwood City, California 94065 and the company designated below (“Company”).
16
+ Oracle and
17
+ the Company are entering into discussions concerning a possible strategic transaction
18
+ (the “Transaction”).
19
+ The parties expect to make available to one another certain non-public,
20
+ confidential and/or proprietary information, both oral and written, which may include information
21
+ concerning their respective business prospects and plans, financial condition, technology,
22
+ customers, know-how, trade secrets, operations, assets and liabilities (collectively, the
23
+ “Evaluation Material”).
24
+ As a condition to each party furnishing the Evaluation Material to the
25
+ other party and the directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors of such party or its
26
+ subsidiaries (collectively, “Representatives”), each party
27
+ agrees that the Evaluation Material
28
+ furnished to it hereunder shall be treated as confidential subject to
29
+ the terms of this Agreement.
30
+ 1.
31
+ Evaluation Material.
32
+ “Evaluation Material” also includes notes, analyses,
33
+ compilations, studies, plans, interpretations or other documents prepared
34
+ by the receiving party or its Representatives which contain or are based
35
+ upon the Evaluation Material furnished to such party hereunder.
36
+ The term
37
+ “Evaluation Material” does not include information that (i) is or becomes a
38
+ matter of public knowledge through no fault of the receiving party; (ii) is or
39
+ becomes available to the receiving party from a source other than the
40
+ disclosing party or any of its Representatives, provided that such source
41
+ was not known or reasonably should be known by the receiving party to be
42
+ bound by a duty of confidentiality with respect to such information; (iii) is
43
+ disclosed by the disclosing party to a third party without a duty of
44
+ confidentiality; (iv) is independently developed by the receiving party
45
+ without use of the Evaluation Material; or (v) is disclosed under operation
46
+ of law.
47
+ 2.
48
+ Non-Disclosure/Security/Use.
49
+ Each party agrees that, without the prior
50
+ written consent of the other party, neither it nor its Representatives will
51
+ disclose to any other person any of the other party’s Evaluation Material,
52
+ the fact that discussions between the parties are taking place concerning
53
+ the Transaction, or any terms or other facts relating to the Transaction and
54
+ will use such Evaluation Materials only for the purpose of evaluating a
55
+ Transaction.
56
+ Each party agrees to use reasonable measures to protect
57
+ against the loss, theft or unauthorized use of the Evaluation Materials.
58
+ 3.
59
+ Personally Identifiable Information.
60
+ The Evaluation Materials may
61
+ include human resources data and/or other information that serves to
62
+ identify one or more individuals (“PII”).
63
+ The receiving party agrees to notify
64
+ the disclosing party of any request received by the receiving party for
65
+ access, correction, amendment or redaction of any PII.
66
+ The disclosing
67
+ party shall be responsible for compliance with all such requests.
68
+ The
69
+ receiving party also agrees to notify the disclosing party of any actual or
70
+ suspected improper acquisition of PII of which the receiving party becomes
71
+ aware.
72
+ 4.
73
+ Residuals.
74
+ Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to limit either
75
+ party’s ability to use “residuals” relating to the Evaluation Material of the
76
+ other party.
77
+ The term “residuals” shall mean information included in the
78
+ Evaluation Material in nontangible form (i.e., not written or other
79
+ documentary form, including tape or disk), which is incidentally retained in
80
+ the memories of employees of either party who have had access to the
81
+ Evaluation Material, including ideas, know-how, or techniques contained
82
+ therein, and where the source of the Evaluation Material has become
83
+ remote (e.g., as a result of the passage of time or the employee’s
84
+ subsequent exposure to information of a similar nature from other sources)
85
+ that the employee in good faith believes that it is not Evaluation Material.
86
+ Neither party shall have any obligation to limit or restrict the assignment of
87
+ its employees or to pay royalties to the other party in connection with any
88
+ use of residuals.
89
+ 5.
90
+ Independent Development.
91
+ Nothing in this Agreement shall be
92
+ construed to limit or preclude either party from developing, using,
93
+ marketing, licensing, and/or selling any independently developed software,
94
+ technology or other materials similar or related to the Evaluation Material
95
+ without otherwise violating this Agreement.
96
+ 6.
97
+ Required Disclosure.
98
+ In the event that a party or its Representatives is
99
+ required by Law, rule or stock exchange regulation to disclose any of the
100
+ other party’s Evaluation Material or the fact that discussions between the
101
+ parties are taking place concerning the Transaction, the party required to
102
+ make such disclosure shall, to the extent practicable, provide the other
103
+ party with prior written notice of any such requirement so that the other
104
+ party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or
105
+ waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.
106
+ In the event
107
+ that
108
+ such protective order, other remedy or waiver is not obtained, the party
109
+ required to make the disclosure shall furnish only that portion of the
110
+ Evaluation Material that such party determines, alter consulting with
111
+ counsel, is required to disclose and shall exercise all reasonable efforts to
112
+ preserve the confidentiality of the other party’s Evaluation
113
+ Material.
114
+ 7.
115
+ Termination of Discussions.
116
+ This Agreement and all rights and obligations
117
+ hereunder shall terminate on the second anniversary of the Effective Date.
118
+ Promptly upon notice from either party that it does not wish to proceed with
119
+ the Transaction, each party shall return to the other party or destroy all
120
+ copies of the Evaluation Material (including all documents based thereon)
121
+ in its possession or in the possession of its Representatives, except that
122
+ outside counsel to the receiving party may retain one copy of the
123
+ Evaluation Material for archival purposes and solely to comply with
124
+ applicable law, rule or regulation.
125
+ Notwithstanding the return or destruction
126
+ of the Evaluation Material, each party and its Representatives will continue
127
+ to be bound by its obligations of confidentiality and other obligations
128
+ hereunder for a period ending on the second anniversary of the Effective Date.
129
+ 8.
130
+ Definitive Agreements.
131
+ Unless and until a final definitive agreement,
132
+ regarding the Transaction has been executed, no contract or agreement
133
+ with respect to the Transaction shall be deemed to exist between the
134
+ parties and neither party will be under any legal obligation whatsoever with
135
+ respect to the Transaction by virtue of this Agreement except for the
136
+ matters specifically agreed to herein.
137
+ The term “definitive agreement”
138
+ does not include a term sheet or any other preliminary written agreement.

+ MUTUAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
7
+
8
+      THIS MUTUAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (the “Agreement”), effective April 3, 2008 (the
9
+ “Effective Date”), is between Magic Hat Brewing Company & Performing Arts Center, Inc., a
10
+ Vermont corporation (“Company”), and PYRAMID BREWERIES INC., a Washington corporation (“Pyramid”).
11
+ Pyramid and the Company are sometimes referred to in this Agreement individually as a
12
+ “Party” and collectively as the “Parties”.
13
+ WHEREAS, Pyramid is a reporting company with the Securities and Exchange Commission and files
14
+ reports and proxy materials under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, which are publicly
15
+ available.
16
+ WHEREAS, the Parties wish to exchange certain nonpublic confidential business information for
17
+ purposes of engaging in preliminary discussions regarding and evaluating a possible strategic
18
+ merger, acquisition or business combination between the Parties (the “Business Purpose”).
19
+ NOW THEREFORE, the Parties agree as follows:
20
+
21
+      1.
22
+ Definition of Confidential Information.
23
+ The term “Confidential Information” means
24
+ any and all information that is or has been received by either Party (the “Recipient”) from
25
+ the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”), or which the Recipient has had access to, during
26
+ the four (4)-month period commencing on the Effective Date (the “Term”), and that is either
27
+ (a) marked as “confidential,” “proprietary,” or such similar term, or (b) non-public information
28
+ related to the Disclosing Party’s business, which the Receiving Party should reasonably know is
29
+ confidential based on the nature of such information.
30
+ Without limiting the generality of the
31
+ foregoing, Confidential Information shall include the following, whether in tangible or electronic
32
+ form: business plans, customer database information, employee and independent contractor lists,
33
+ internal reports and investigations, research and work in progress, source and object code,
34
+ technical manuals, financial statements and projections, cost summaries and pricing formulae,
35
+ algorithms, confidential filings with any international, federal or state agency, and all other
36
+ information concerning methods of doing business, ideas and inventions (whether or not patentable),
37
+ and data that derives independent economic value, actual or potential, from not being generally
38
+ known to persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use that is the subject of
39
+ reasonable efforts by the Company to maintain its secrecy.
40
+ 2.
41
+ Excluded Information.
42
+ Confidential Information shall not include any information that: (a)
43
+ prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party is already lawfully and rightfully known by or
44
+ available to the Recipient as evidenced by prior written records; (b) through no wrongful act,
45
+ fault or negligence on the part of the Recipient is or hereafter becomes part of the public domain;
46
+ (c) is lawfully received by the Recipient from a third party without restriction and without breach
47
+ of this agreement or any other agreement; (d) is approved for public release or use by written
48
+ authorization of the Disclosing Party; (e) the Recipient can demonstrate was independently
49
+ developed by it without reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (f) is
50
+ disclosed pursuant to the requirement or request of a governmental agency or court of competent
51
+ jurisdiction to the extent such disclosure is required by a valid law, regulation or court order
52
+ and sufficient notice is given by the Recipient to the Disclosing Party of any such requirement or
53
+ request in order to permit the Disclosing Party to seek an appropriate protective order or
54
+ exemption from such requirement or request.
55
+ 3.
56
+ Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality.
57
+ The Recipient shall not (a) use the Confidential
58
+ Information except for the Business Purpose, or (b) disclose or make the Confidential Information
59
+ available to any person or entity (other than Related Parties, as defined below) without the prior
60
+ written consent of the Disclosing Party.
61
+ Each Party shall take reasonable security precautions to
62
+ protect the Confidential Information, at least as strict as the precautions it takes to protect its
63
+ own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature.
64
+ Without the prior written
65
+ consent of the Disclosing Party, the Recipient of Confidential Information shall restrict the
66
+ disclosure and availability of Confidential Information to Recipient’s financial, tax, or legal
67
+ advisors, or to its directors, officers, or employees with a demonstrable need to know such
68
+ Confidential Information (each, a “Related Party”, and, collectively, the “Related
69
+ Parties”), provided that any such Related Party either agrees to be bound by this Agreement or
70
+ is already bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those in this Agreement.
71
+ Each Party shall be responsible for the breach of this Agreement by any Related Party.
72
+ Neither
73
+ Party shall use any Confidential Information received by it to develop a product or service which
74
+ competes with or imitates products of the Disclosing Party or engage in reverse engineering to
75
+ develop similar products or services using the Confidential Information (it being acknowledged and
76
+ understood that both Parties are engaged in the business of beer brewing and that competing beer
77
+ products are regularly independently developed within the beer industry using the same or similar
78
+ raw materials, processes and packaging).
79
+ The Recipient shall prevent commingling of the
80
+ Confidential Information with similar information or material of other third parties.
81
+ The
82
+ obligations of confidentiality and protection under this Agreement shall survive for three (3)
83
+ years following the expiration of the Term.
84
+ 4. Non-Solicitation.
85
+ Other than through general employment listings and advertising or
86
+ through the efforts of employment search firms, each Party shall not, during the Term of this
87
+ Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter, directly or indirectly, solicit or hire any employee or
88
+ independent contractor of the other Party, or induce any such person to abandon their relationship
89
+ with the other Party.
90
+ 5.
91
+ No Warranty.
92
+ THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED “AS IS,” AND THE DISCLOSING PARTY
93
+ HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES REGARDING THE ACCURACY, SUFFICIENCY,
94
+ SUITABILITY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF SUCH CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
95
+ 6.
96
+ No License or Obligations; Return of Confidential Information.
97
+ This Agreement does not
98
+ represent nor imply any agreement or commitment to enter into any further business relationship.
99
+ This Agreement does not create any agency or partnership relationship between the Parties or
100
+ authorize a Party to use the other Party’s name or trademarks.
101
+ As between the Parties, all
102
+ Confidential Information received by a Recipient shall remain the sole and exclusive property of
103
+ the Disclosing Party.
104
+ Upon written request by the Disclosing Party, the Recipient shall return to
105
+ the Disclosing Party, or shall destroy in a manner satisfactory to the Disclosing Party, all
106
+ tangible or electronic forms of Confidential Information, including any and all copies of the
107
+ Confidential Information or notes containing the Confidential Information, and shall provide a
108
+ written certification to the Disclosing Party that all tangible forms of the Confidential
109
+ Information have been returned or destroyed.
110
+ 7.
111
+ Remedies for Breach.
112
+ The Parties agree that money damages would be inadequate to remedy
113
+ any breach of this Agreement.
114
+ As a result, a non-breaching party shall be entitled to seek, and a
115
+ court of competent jurisdiction may grant, specific performance and
116
+
117
+ 2
118
+
119
+
120
+
121
+  
122
+
123
+ injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach of this Agreement.
124
+ Such
125
+ remedy shall be in addition to all other remedies, including money damages, available to a
126
+ non-breaching party at law or in equity.
127
+ 8. Notices.
128
+ Any notice given by one Party to the other under this Agreement shall be sent by
129
+ registered mail, return receipt requested, or reputable overnight courier to the addresses listed
130
+ below (or such address changed by the giving of like notice to the other Party), and shall be
131
+ deemed received upon actual receipt by the recipient Party.

+ tangible form and is conspicuously marked "Confidential", "Proprietary" or the
28
+ like or (2) it is first disclosed in non-tangible form and orally identified as
29
+ confidential at the time of disclosure and is summarized in tangible form
30
+ conspicuously marked "Confidential" within thirty (30) days of the original
31
+ disclosure.

94

95

+ and non-disclosure in accordance with the term of this agreement.
103
+ The Receiving

130
+ Miscellaneous.
131
+ The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that
132
+ -------------
133
+ due to the unique nature of the Disclosing Party's Proprietary Information,
134
+ there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations
135
+ hereunder, that any such breach may allow the Receiving Party or third parties
136
+ to unfairly compete with the Disclosing Party resulting in irreparable harm to
137
+ the Disclosing Party, and therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat
138
+ thereof, the Disclosing Party may seek appropriate equitable relief (without the
139
+ need to post bond or other security) in addition to whatever remedies it might
140
+ have at law.
141
+ The Receiving Party will notify the Disclosing Party in writing
142
+ immediately upon the occurrence of any such unauthorized release or other breach
143
+ of which it is aware.
144
+ In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement
145
+ shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be to
146
+ any extent illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited
147
+ or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall
148
+ otherwise remain in full force and effect.
149
+ This Agreement shall be governed by
150
+ and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, without
151
+ regard to principles of conflicts of law.
152
+ The parties agree that any dispute
153
+ regarding the interpretation or validity of this Agreement shall be subject to
154
+ the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts in and for the County
155
+ of San Diego, California, and each party hereby agrees to submit to the personal
156
+ and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
157
+ This Agreement supersedes
158
+ all prior discussions and writings and constitutes the entire agreement between
159
+ the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.
160
+ This Agreement may not
161
+ be amended except in an express writing signed by officers of both parties.
162
+ No
163
+ waiver or modification of this Agreement will be binding upon either party
164
+ unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of such
165
+ party and no failure or delay in enforcing any right will be deemed a waiver.
166
+ Each party warrants to the other that it is duly authorized to enter
167
+ into this Agreement and that the terms of this Agreement are not inconsistent
168
+ with any of its respective outstanding contractual obligations.
169
+ The execution
170
+ and performance of this Agreement does not obligate the parties to enter into
171
+ any other agreement or to perform any obligations other than as specified
172
+ herein.
173
+ IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have executed this Agreement as of the
174
+ day and year set forth below.

7
+
8
+ This Agreement is made between CELERITY SYSTEMS, INC., ("CELERITY") and UNISYS
9
+ Corporation - Federal Systems Division.
10
+ ("UNISYS") and concerns the handling,
11
+ safeguarding and exchange of sensitive, proprietary or confidential information
12
+ (collectively "Proprietary Information").
13
+ It is agreed and understood that any
14
+ exchange of such Proprietary Information is expressly for the sole purpose of
15
+ CELERITY and UNISYS evaluating a possible business arrangement involving an
16
+ existing UNISYS contract with a federal government agency.
17
+ 1.
18
+ For the purposes hereof, Proprietary Information shall be any documents,
19
+ materials or information that (i) is in tangible form and clearly marked as
20
+ being proprietary, confidential or sensitive and (ii) is received by one
21
+ party to this Agreement ("Recipient") from the other party to this
22
+ Agreement ("Transmitter").
23
+ 2.
24
+ The Recipient agrees to safeguard, protect and handle all Proprietary
25
+ Information made available under this Agreement with the same degree of
26
+ care and procedures as Recipient applies to its own confidential or
27
+ proprietary information.
28
+ Without the written consent of the Transmitter,
29
+ the Recipient of Proprietary Information agrees (i) not to disclose,
30
+ disseminate, reproduce or otherwise distribute such information and
31
+ materials to any third party, except a governmental judicial authority's
32
+ issued order and (ii) not to use such information for any other purposes
33
+ beyond that expressly set forth in this Agreement.
34
+ 3.
35
+ All Proprietary Information disclosed under this Agreement shall remain the
36
+ property of the Transmitter.
37
+ It is agreed that the Recipient does not
38
+ obtain any title or license rights to the Proprietary Information furnished
39
+ under this Agreement.
40
+ 4.
41
+ All Proprietary Information exchanged under this Agreement shall be
42
+ returned or destroyed in accordance with written instructions upon the
43
+ earlier of a written request from the Transmitter or termination of this
44
+ Agreement.
45
+ Either party may terminate this Agreement, at any time, by
46
+ providing written notice to the receiving party.
47
+ Termination of this
48
+ Agreement shall not be construed as relieving the Recipient of its
49
+ obligations to safeguard, protect and dispose of the Proprietary
50
+ Information as set forth in this Agreement.
51
+ 5.
52
+ The Recipient's obligations to protect, safeguard and handle Proprietary
53
+ Information received hereunder shall not be binding if such Proprietary
54
+ Information (i) is in the public domain through no fault of the Recipient,
55
+ (ii) is known to the Recipient prior to disclosure hereunder, (iii) is
56
+ lawfully disclosed to Recipient by a third party.
57
+ The Recipient's
58
+ obligations shall survive until the Proprietary Information has been
59
+ returned, destroyed in accordance with written instructions or covered by a
60
+ subsequent agreement between CELERITY and UNISYS for the contemplated
61
+ services.
62
+ This represents the entire agreement of the parties relative to the subject
63
+ matter and shall be governed and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of

+ below, any three (3) other hotels that, at the time that Samples owns, leases,
167
+ operates, franchises, licenses, manages, invests in or gives advice in respect
168
+ of such hotels, have been open and in operation for at least one (1) years,
169
+ provided that this clause (E) and the similar provision of the Non-Competition
170
+ and Non-Disclosure Agreement of David H. Aull of even date herewith shall
171
+ collectively not authorize more than a total of three hotels; (F) the Broadway
172
+ Plaza Suites in Kansas City, Missouri and (G) any Extended Stay Hotel at a
173
+ specified site if (x) Samples has offered in writing to Acquiror or its
174
+ designee to develop for Acquiror or such designee an Extended Stay Hotel at
175
+ such site as a Homegate brand (or other extended stay brand maintained by
176
+ Acquiror, Target Company or their respective affiliates) Extended Stay Hotel in
177
+ accordance with the procedure set forth below and (y) Acquiror or its designee
178
+ has either advised Samples that it does not wish to have an Extended Stay Hotel
179
+ developed at such site as a Homegate (or other extended stay brand maintained
180
+ by Acquiror, Target Company or their respective affiliates) or failed to
181
+ respond within the time period set forth below.
182
+ In the case of clause (G)
183
+ above, Samples' offer shall include a reasonably detailed proposal for the
184
+ development of the site as an Extended Stay Hotel.
185
+ Acquiror or its designee
186
+ shall be given at least thirty (30) days to evaluate such offer and respond to
187
+ Samples.
188
+ If Acquiror or its designee fails to respond within such thirty (30)
189
+ day period or advises Samples that it does not wish to have an Extended Stay
190
+ Hotel developed at such site as a Homegate (or other extended stay brand
191
+ maintained by Acquiror, Target Company or their respective affiliates), Samples
192
+ may develop an Extended Stay Hotel on such site with another party if
193
+ construction of such Extended Stay Hotel is commenced within 180 days
194
+ thereafter and is pursued with reasonable diligence thereafter.
195
+ (e) If, by July 1, 1998, Samples has not entered into an
196
+ agreement with the Acquiror (or any successor to or affiliate of the Acquiror
197
+ or any such successor) concerning the development, franchise or operation of a
198
+ hotel, then upon such date the definition of Permitted Hotels in Section 2(d)
199
+ above shall include clause (E) thereof from and after such date.
200
+ As used in
201
+ the preceding sentence and in Section 2(f) below, an "affiliate" of any person
202
+ means any other person controlling, controlled by, or under common control
203
+ with, such first person.
204
+ (f) If, by July 1, 1998 (if the merger of Acquiror into
205
+ Patriot Hospitality, Inc. provided for in the Patriot-Acquiror Merger Agreement
206
+ (as defined in the Merger Agreement) (the"Patriot-Acquiror Merger") has not
207
+ occurred by that date) or one (1) year after the closing of the
208
+ Patriot-Acquiror Merger (if such merger has occurred prior to July 1, 1998),
209
+ Samples has not entered into an agreement with the Acquiror (or any successor
210
+ to or affiliate of the Acquiror or any such successor) concerning the
211
+ development, franchise or operation of a hotel, then upon such date the term of
212
+ the Restricted Period automatically shall be reduced from five (5) to three (3)
213
+ years.
214
+ (g) Except as otherwise expressly permitted hereby, the
215
+ covenants in this Section 2 are intended to restrict Samples from competing in
216
+ any manner with the Acquiror

+

224
+ Companies, the Target Company and the Related Entities or the Business in the
225
+ activities that have heretofore been carried on by the Acquiror Companies, the
226
+ Target Company and the Related Entities.
227
+ The obligations set forth in this
228
+ Section above shall apply to actions by Samples, whether taken directly or
229
+ indirectly, through any form of ownership, and whether as principal, officer,
230
+ director, agent, employee, employer, consultant, stockholder or holder of any
231
+ equity security (beneficially or as trustee of any trust), lender, partner,
232
+ joint venturer or in any other individual or representative capacity
233
+ whatsoever.
234
+ However, none of the foregoing shall prevent Samples from (i)
235
+ being the holder of up to 5% in the aggregate of any class of securities of any
236
+ corporation engaged in the activities described above, provided that such
237
+ securities are listed on a national securities exchange or reported on NASDAQ
238
+ or (ii) being the holder of non-convertible debt securities of any entity.
239
+ 3.
240
+ Enforcement of Covenants.
241
+ Samples acknowledges that a
242
+ violation or attempted violation of any of the covenants and agreements in
243
+ Section 2 above will cause such damage to the Acquiror Companies, the Target
244
+ Company and the Related Entities as will be irreparable, the exact amount of
245
+ which would be difficult to ascertain and for which there will be no adequate
246
+ remedy at law, and accordingly, Samples agrees that each of the Acquiror
247
+ Companies and the Target Company and any Related Entity shall be entitled as a
248
+ matter of right to an injunction issued by any court of competent jurisdiction,
249
+ restraining such violation or attempted violation of such covenants and
250
+ agreements by Samples, or the employees, partners or agents of Samples, as well
251
+ as recover from Samples any and all costs and expenses sustained or incurred by
252
+ the Acquiror Companies and the Target Company and the Related Entities in
253
+ obtaining such an injunction, including, without limitation, reasonable
254
+ attorneys' fees.
255
+ Samples agrees that no bond or other security shall be
256
+ required in connection with such injunction.
257
+ Samples further agrees that the
258
+ Restricted Period shall be tolled during any period of violation thereof by
259
+ Samples.
260
+ Any exercise by any one or more of the Acquiror Companies and the
261
+ Target Company and the Related Entities of their respective rights pursuant to
262
+ this Section 3 shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies to
263
+ each of them may be entitled.
264
+ 4.
265
+ Intellectual Property.
266
+ Samples recognizes and agrees that, on
267
+ and after the date hereof, he will not have the right to use for his own
268
+ account any of the service marks, trademarks, trade names, licenses, labels,
269
+ trade secrets or customers' lists owned by or licensed to the Acquiror
270
+ Companies, the Target Company or any of the Related Entities.
271
+ 5.
272
+ Consideration.
273
+ As consideration for Samples' agreements
274
+ provided herein, the Acquiror agrees to pay to Samples the total sum of
275
+ $500,000, which amount shall be payable by wire transfer of immediately
276
+ available funds on the date hereof.
277
+ Samples also acknowledges and agrees that,
278
+ in addition thereto, he has received substantial consideration and benefit,
279
+ direct and indirect, pursuant to the Merger and the other transactions
280
+ contemplated by the Merger Agreement.
281

284
+ Validity.
285
+ Samples acknowledges and agrees that each of the
286
+ covenants contained herein is a reasonable limitation as to time, geographical
287
+ area and scope of activity to be restrained and does not impose a greater
288
+ restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill or other interests of the
289
+ Acquiror Companies and the Target Company and the Related Entities.
290
+ To the
291
+ extent permitted by applicable law, if it should ever be held that any
292
+ provision contained herein does not contain reasonable limitations as to time,
293
+ geographical area or scope of activity to be restrained, then the court so
294
+ holding shall at the request of any of the Acquiror Companies or the Target
295
+ Company or any Related Entity reform such provisions to the extent necessary to
296
+ cause them to contain reasonable limitations as to time, geographical area and
297
+ scope of activity to be restrained and to give the maximum permissible effect
298
+ to the intentions of the parties as set forth herein; and the court shall
299
+ enforce such provisions as so reformed.
300
+ If, notwithstanding the foregoing, any
301
+ provision hereof is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under present
302
+ or future laws effective during the term hereof, such provision shall be fully
303
+ severable; this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal,
304
+ invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; and the
305
+ remaining provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall not
306
+ be affected by the illegal, invalid or enforceable provision or by its
307
+ severance here from.
308
+ Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid or
309
+ unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically by the Acquiror and
310
+ the Target Company as a part hereof a provision as similar in terms to such
311
+ illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal,
312
+ valid and enforceable, and the parties hereby agree to such provision.
313
+ 7.
314
+ Waiver of Breach.
315
+ The waiver by any party to this Agreement
316
+ of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate or be
317
+ construed as a waiver of any subsequent breach by any party.
318
+ 8.
319
+ Tax Reporting.
320
+ The parties hereby expressly agree that the
321
+ consideration given and received pursuant to this Agreement shall, for income
322
+ tax purposes, be reported as amounts paid for a covenant not to compete.
323
+ The
324
+ parties acknowledge that Samples shall be solely responsible for the payment of
325
+ any federal, state or local taxes arising from his receipt of the consideration
326
+ under this Agreement.

11
+ Exhibit 99.20
12
+ CONFIDENTIALITY AND STANDSTILL AGREEMENT
13
+     This Confidentiality and Standstill Agreement (the "Agreement") is entered into as of this 7th day of March, 2001, by and between Polycom, Inc. ("Polycom"),
14
+ and PictureTel Corporation ("PictureTel"), a Delaware corporation.
15
+ WITNESSETH:
16
+     WHEREAS, Polycom and PictureTel may consider engaging in discussions with respect to a possible negotiated business combination involving PictureTel and
17
+ Polycom or their respective subsidiaries (the "Transaction") and, prior to or during the course of any such discussions, PictureTel and Polycom each may have disclosed or, in the future, may disclose
18
+ and make available to the other certain information concerning its business prospects, financial condition, operations, assets and liabilities;
19
+     WHEREAS,
20
+ all such information furnished to a party or its Representatives (as defined below) by or on behalf of the other party (irrespective of the form of communication and whether
21
+ such information is so furnished before, on or after the date hereof), and all analyses, compilations, data, studies, notes, interpretations, memoranda or other documents prepared by a party or its
22
+ Representatives containing or based in whole or in part on any such furnished information are collectively referred to herein as the "Confidential Information;" and
23
+     WHEREAS,
24
+ each of Polycom and PictureTel hereby agrees to receive such Confidential Information of the other and to disclose such Confidential Information to the other subject to the
25
+ following terms and conditions.
26
+ NOW,
27
+ THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises and obligations contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which
28
+ are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows:
29
+     1.
30
+ Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.
31
+ (a) Each of PictureTel and Polycom shall
32
+ (i) use the Confidential Information obtained from the other solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible Transaction and for no competitive or other purpose; (ii) not disclose the
33
+ Confidential Information to any third party, except for disclosures to its directors, executive officers and representatives of its advisors (such as independent accountants, investment bankers,
34
+ consultants and attorneys) acting on its behalf (collectively, its "Representatives") who in each case, in such party's reasonable judgment, need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating
35
+ a possible Transaction and who are set forth on Annex A hereto, as it may be amended by the parties from time to time; (iii) inform its Representatives of the confidential nature of the
36
+ Confidential Information and direct its Representatives to treat the Confidential Information confidentially and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement; (iv) take all additional
37
+ reasonable precautions necessary to prevent the disclosure of the Confidential Information by its Representatives to any third party; and (v) be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by
38
+ its Representatives.
39
+ (b) If
40
+ either party is required (by interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any
41
+ Confidential Information, it is agreed that such party will provide the other party with prompt notice of such request so that such other party may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive
42
+ the notifying party's compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.
43
+ If, in the absence of a protective order, either party is nonetheless compelled to disclose Confidential Information, such party
44
+ may disclose, without liability hereunder, only that portion of the Confidential Information that such party is advised in writing by outside legal counsel is legally required to be disclosed;
45
+ provided that such party gives to the other party written notice of the portion of the Confidential Information to be disclosed as far in advance of its disclosure as is practicable and, upon such
46
+ other party's request, uses reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to such information.
47
+ 2.
48
+ Non-Disclosure of Negotiations or Agreements.
49
+ Except as required by law, neither PictureTel, Polycom
50
+ nor their respective Representatives shall disclose to any person (including, without limitation, any director, officer or employee that is not set forth on Annex A) the existence, status or terms of
51
+ any discussions, negotiations or agreements between them concerning a possible Transaction, including without limitation any offer, letter of intent, proposal, price, value or valuation, or any
52
+ similar terms, agreements or understandings between PictureTel and Polycom with respect thereto, or that such party has provided to or received from the other Confidential Information, without
53
+ obtaining the prior written consent of the other party.
54
+ The term "person" as used in this Agreement will be interpreted broadly to include the media and any corporation, company, group, partnership or
55
+ other entity or individual.
56
+ 3.
57
+ Ownership of Confidential Information.
58
+ Each party shall keep a reasonable record of the Confidential
59
+ Information received by it and the location of such Confidential Information.
60
+ All written Confidential Information delivered by one party hereto to the other party pursuant to the Agreement shall be
61
+ and remain the property of the delivering party, and upon the written request of the delivering party, the receiving party shall (i) promptly return such Confidential Information and shall not
62
+ retain any copies or other reproductions or extracts thereof, (ii) destroy or have destroyed all memoranda, notes, reports, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations, or other documents
63
+ derived from or containing Confidential Information, and all copies and other reproductions and extracts thereof, and (iii) provide a certificate to the delivering party certifying that the
64
+ foregoing materials have, in fact, been destroyed or returned, signed by an authorized officer supervising such destruction or return.
65
+ Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential
66
+ Information, each party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by the confidentiality and other obligations hereunder.
67
+ Each party will keep a record of each person, other than its
68
+ Representatives, that is afforded access to the other party and/or the Confidential Information of the other party, and before such access is afforded, each party agrees to inform such person of the
69
+ requirements of this Agreement.
70
+ Each party will furnish to the other party, upon request, a written copy of such record of such persons, other than its Representatives, that have been afforded access
71
+ to the other party and/or the Confidential Information.
72
+ 4.
73
+ Information Not Deemed Confidential Information.
74
+ The term "Confidential Information" does not
75
+ include information that (i) is or becomes generally available to the public, other than, as a result of a disclosure by the receiving party or its Representatives in violation of this
76
+ Agreement; (ii) is or becomes available to the receiving party from a source other than the delivering party or its Representatives, provided that such source is not known by the receiving party to be
77
+ bound by an obligation of confidentiality to such delivering party or its Representatives; or (iii) was within the receiving party's possession prior to being furnished to the receiving party
78
+ by or on behalf of the delivering party, provided that the person providing such information to the receiving party was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with the delivering party or otherwise
79
+ prohibited from transferring such information to the receiving party by any contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation.
80
+ 5.
81
+ No Warranty.
82
+ Neither PictureTel, Polycom nor any of their respective officers, directors, employees,

128
+ or make any proposal or offer or otherwise seek to acquire, directly or indirectly any securities (or rights in respect thereof), assets or property of the other party or any of its subsidiaries,

130
+ seek or propose to enter into or otherwise be involved in or part of, directly or indirectly, any merger, acquisition transaction or other business combination involving the other party or any of its

133
+ of its subsidiaries; (iv) form, join or in any way participate in a "group" (within the meaning of Section 13(d)(3) of the Exchange Act) with respect to any voting securities of the
134
+ other
135
+ party or any of its subsidiaries; (v) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek or propose to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the other
136
+ party; (vi) directly or indirectly enter into any discussions, negotiations, arrangements or understandings with any other person with respect to any of the foregoing activities or propose any
137
+ of such activities to
138
+ 3
139
+
140
+
141
+
142
+
143
+ any other person; or (vii) publicly disclose any intention, plan or arrangement inconsistent with the foregoing; (viii) directly or indirectly advise, encourage, provide assistance
144
+ (including debt or equity financial assistance) to or hold discussions with or invest in any other person in connection with any of the foregoing.
145
+ Each party also agrees that, during such eighteen
146
+ month period, neither it nor any of its affiliates will: (i) request the other party or its advisors, directly or indirectly, to (1) amend or waive any provision of this paragraph
147
+ (including this sentence) or (2) otherwise consent to any action inconsistent with any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (ii) take any initiative with respect to
148
+ the other party or any of its subsidiaries that could reasonably be expected to require the other party to make a public announcement regarding (1) such initiative, (2) any of the activities
149
+ referred to in this paragraph, (3) the possibility of a Transaction or any similar transaction or (4) the possibility of such party or any other person acquiring control of the other
150
+ party, whether by means of a business combination or otherwise.
151
+ Notwithstanding any other provision hereof, this Section 9 shall not apply to a party in the event of a bona fide publicly announced
152
+ proposal, offer or agreement by a third party not acting in concert with such party (i) to acquire more than 51% of any class of stock (or rights in respect thereof) of the other party or
153
+ (ii) to acquire the other party, or all or substantially all of its assets, by means of a merger, consolidation, asset purchase or other similar transaction.
154
+ Additionally, the Principal or
155
+ President of a party may contact the Principal or President of the other party for the purpose of expressing continuing or renewed interest in a Transaction, provided that, unless invited to do so by
156
+ the President of the other party, no offer or proposal shall be made that would require public disclosure or formal consideration by such other party or its Board of Directors.
157
+ 10.
158
+ No Waiver.
159
+ No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege
160
+ hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any right, power or privilege
161
+ hereunder.
162
+ Any waiver of a breach hereof shall be in writing and shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.
163
+ 11.  Remedies.
164
+ Each party agrees to indemnify the other party from any damages, loss, cost or liability
165
+ (including, without limitation, legal fees and the cost of enforcing this Agreement) arising out of or resulting from any unauthorized use or disclosures of any Confidential Information by the other
166
+ party or its Representatives.
167
+ It is understood and agreed that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by either party and that the non-breaching party shall be
168
+ entitled to seek equitable relief, including specific performance and injunction, as a remedy for any such breach.
169
+ Each party agrees to waive, and to use its best efforts to cause its directors,
170
+ officers, employees or agents to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy.
171
+ Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a
172
+ breach of this Agreement by either party, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity to the non-breaching party.
173
+ 12.
174
+ Governing Law.
175
+ This Agreement is for the benefit of the parties and their respective directors,
176
+ officers, employees, representatives and agents and their respective successors and assigns and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal substantive laws and not the choice
177
+ of law rules of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.
178
+ 13.  Counterparts.
179
+ This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be
180
+ deemed an original, and all such counterparts together shall constitute but one and the same Agreement.
181
+ 14.  Severability.
182
+ If any provision of this Agreement is found to violate any statute, regulation, rule,
183
+ order, decision or decree of any governmental authority, court, agency or exchange, such invalidity shall not be deemed to affect any other provision hereof or the validity of the remainder of this
184
+ 4
185
+
186
+
187
+
188
+
189
+ Agreement, and such invalid provision shall be deemed deleted herefrom to the minimum extent necessary to cure such violation.

1
+ Two Way Non-Disclosure and Confidentiality Agreement, dated October 28, 2007
2
+
3
+
4
+ Exhibit (d)(5) PACKETEER, INC. TWO WAY NON-DISCLOSURE AND CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT THIS Agreement is made and entered into by and between PACKETEER, INC. (“Packeteer”) and
5
+ Blue Coat Systems, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having offices at 420 North Mary Avenue, Sunnyvale, CA 94085, to assure the protection and preservation of the confidential and/or proprietary nature of each party’s confidential information.
6
+ Each party will disclose such information solely for the purpose of evaluating the possibility of entering into a business relationship between the parties hereto (the “Purpose”).
7
+ In reliance upon and in consideration of the following
8
+ undertakings, the parties agree as follows:  
9
+
10
+
11
+ 1.
12
+ Definition.
13
+ Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2, all information (including but not limited to ideas, techniques, works of authorship, models,
14
+ inventions, know-how, processes, equipment, algorithms, software source documents and formulae related to the current, future, and proposed products and services of each of the parties and information concerning research, development, financial
15
+ information, procurement requirements, purchasing, manufacturing, customer lists, business forecasts, sales and merchandising, and marketing plans), disclosed by one party (the “Discloser”) to the other party (the “Recipient”)
16
+ which is labeled or marked “Confidential” or with some other similar proprietary legend, or which, in the context of the disclosure, the Recipient has reason to believe is confidential, shall be deemed to be “Confidential
17
+ Information.” If Confidential Information is disclosed in oral form, the Discloser shall identify it as confidential at the time of disclosure and thereafter summarize it in writing and transmit such summary to the Recipient within thirty
18
+ (30) days of the oral disclosure.
19
+ 2.
20
+ Exclusions.
21
+ “Confidential Information” excludes information which: (a) is now or hereafter becomes generally known or available, through no act or failure to
22
+ act on Recipient’s part; (b) Recipient independently knows at the time of receiving such information; (c) a third party hereafter furnishes to Recipient without restriction on disclosure and without breach of any confidentiality
23
+ obligations; (d) Recipient has independently developed without using any Confidential Information or breaching this Agreement; or (e) Discloser gives written permission to Recipient to disclose.
24
+ 3.
25
+ Restrictions/Obligations.
26
+ Recipient shall: (a) only disclose the Confidential Information to those employees and contractors with a need to know; provided that Recipient
27
+ binds those employees and contractors to terms at least as restrictive as those stated in this Agreement (or, with respect to professional advisors, advises them of its obligations with respect to the Confidential Information); (b) not disclose
28
+ any Confidential Information to any third party, without Discloser’s prior written consent; (c) use such Confidential Information only to the extent required to accomplish the Purpose; (d) not reproduce Confidential Information in any
29
+ form except as required to accomplish the Purpose; (e) not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any software disclosed by the Discloser; (f) not directly or indirectly export or transmit any Confidential Information to any country
30
+ to which such export or transmission is restricted by regulation or statute; and (g) promptly provide the Discloser with notice of any actual or threatened breach of the terms of this Agreement.
31
+ However, Recipient may disclose Confidential
32
+ Information in accordance with a judicial or other governmental order provided that Recipient shall give Discloser written notice prior to such disclosure.
33
+ Subject to Recipient’s obligations of non-disclosure, Recipient shall be free to use the
34
+ residuals resulting from the use or access to the Confidential Information of Discloser.
35
+ The term “residuals” means information in intangible form which is retained in the unaided memory of persons who have had access to the Confidential
36
+ Information, without reference to such information in tangible or fixed form.
37
+ Solely with respect to non-technical Confidential Information, Recipient’s obligations under this Section 3 shall expire one (1) year from the date of
38
+ disclosure of such non-technical Confidential Information.
39
+ 4.
40
+ Ownership and Return of Confidential Information.
41
+ All Confidential Information (including all copies thereof) shall remain the property of Discloser.
42
+ All copies shall bear
43
+ all proprietary markings contained on or in the originals.
44
+ Upon the request of Discloser, Recipient shall, at Recipient’s option, either (a) return such materials to Discloser, or (b) certify the destruction thereof.
45
+ 5.
46
+ Rights.
47
+ No rights or licenses to trademarks, inventions, copyrights, patents or any other intellectual property rights are implied or granted under this Agreement.
48
+ Subject to
49
+ the obligations of this Agreement, neither party will be precluded from independently developing technology or pursuing business opportunities similar to those covered by the Confidential Information disclosed hereunder.
50
+ Each party retains sole
51
+ discretion to assign or reassign the job responsibilities of its employees.
52
+ Each party acknowledges that the other party may currently or in the future be developing information internally, or receiving information from third parties, that is
53
+ similar to the Confidential Information.
54
+ Nothing in this Agreement will prohibit Recipient from developing or having developed for it products, concepts, systems or techniques that are similar to those contemplated by or embodied in the Confidential
55
+ Information, provided the Recipient does not violate its obligations under this Agreement.
56
+ 6.
57
+ Term and Termination.
58
+ This Agreement shall remain in full force and effect for a period of three (3) years unless terminated sooner as set forth below.
59
+ This Agreement
60
+ may be terminated by either party upon thirty (30) days written notice, provided however, that Paragraphs 3, 4, 5, and 7 shall survive any termination of this Agreement.
61
+ 7.
62
+ Miscellaneous.
63
+ This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California.
64
+ This Agreement contains the final, complete and exclusive agreement of the parties
65
+ relative to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements relating to its subject matter and may not be changed, modified, amended or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by both
66
+ parties.
67
+ If any provision of this Agreement is found by a proper authority to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
68
+ Recipient hereby acknowledges and agrees that
69
+ no remedy at law will afford Discloser adequate protection against, or appropriate compensation for, breach of Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement.
70
+ Accordingly, Recipient agrees that Discloser shall be entitled to specific performance
71
+ of Recipient’s obligations, as well as such further equitable relief as may be granted by a court of competent jurisdiction.

18
+ The
19
+ Sellers are engaged in conducting a dial-up ISP business whereby the Sellers
20
+ provide Internet access and other Internet-related services to Internet service
21
+ providers and their customers.
22
+ B.
23
+ The
24
+ Buyer and Sellers are parties to an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase

+ Agreement”) dated as of April 1, 2004, pursuant to which Level 3 is purchasing
26
+ from Sellers certain of Sellers’ assets (the “Acquired Assets”) used or held

+ for use by Sellers in conducting the Sellers’ dial-up ISP business whereby the
28
+ Company provides dial-up Internet access to Internet service providers and their
29
+ customers, excluding the Company’s direct Internet access and primary rate
30
+ interface businesses (the “Business”), as more fully described therein.
31
+ Contemporaneous with this Agreement, Buyer
32
+ and Sellers are closing and consummating the principal transactions
33
+ contemplated by the Purchase Agreement.
34
+ C.                                     Sellers
35
+ acknowledge that the Buyer would not enter into or close the Purchase Agreement
36
+ without Sellers’ agreement to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and
37
+ the execution of this Agreement by Sellers is a condition precedent to the
38
+ Buyer’s obligation to close under the Purchase Agreement.
39
+ AGREEMENT
40
+  
41
+ NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the Buyer’s execution
42
+ and delivery of the Purchase Agreement, the closing thereunder and other good
43
+ and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby
44
+ acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
45
+  
46
+ ARTICLE 1
47
+ NON-DISCLOSURE, NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION
48
+  
49
+ 1.1                                 Non-Disclosure.
50
+ Sellers shall not disclose or appropriate
51
+ for their own use, or for the use of any third party, at any time, any trade
52
+ secrets or confidential or proprietary information included in or related to
53
+ the Acquired Assets or the Business as previously operated by Sellers, whether
54
+ or not developed by Sellers including, without limitation, information
55
+ pertaining to the customers, vendors, prices, profits, contract terms or
56
+ operating procedures of Sellers relating to the Business or the Acquired
57
+ Assets; provided, however, that Sellers may use
58
+  
59
+
60
+
61
+
62
+
63
+
64
+
65
+
66
+  
67
+ any such trade secrets
68
+ and confidential or proprietary information (a) if and to the extent used in
69
+ their businesses other than the Business and (b) in connection with providing
70
+ services pursuant to the Transition Services Agreement.
71
+ 1.2                                 Non-Competition.
72
+ For a period of three (3) years from
73
+ and after the Effective Date (the “Restrictive Period”), Sellers shall
74
+ not engage, directly or indirectly, through any other entity or with any person
75
+ (whether as an owner, shareholder, partner, member, director, officer,
76
+ employee, agent, investor, or otherwise), in any business activity which is in
77
+ competition with the Business conducted by Buyer during the Restrictive
78
+ Period.
79
+ The foregoing restrictions
80
+ shall, however, apply only for a one-year period from and after the Effective
81
+ Date with respect to any successor of any Seller who is not engaged in the same
82
+ type of business as the Business as of the Effective Date and shall not apply
83
+ at all with respect to any successor, other than Sellers and any of their
84
+ Affiliates as of the Effective Date, that is engaged in the same type of
85
+ business as the Business.
86
+ Because
87
+ Sellers’ Business is nationwide, Sellers agree that they will not so compete
88
+ anywhere in the United States (the “Territory”).
89
+ Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers may,
90
+ during the 60-day period following the Effective Date, provide services in the
91
+ Business to those customers delineated on Schedule 1.02(c) of the
92
+ Purchase Agreement, subject to and in accordance with Section 5.08 of the
93
+ Purchase Agreement; provided such services shall be provided solely pursuant to
94
+ the customer contracts listed on such Schedule 1.02(c) and the amount of
95
+ such service shall not be materially greater than that provided to such
96
+ customers by Sellers during the 60-day period prior to the Effective Date.
97
+ 1.3                 ��               Non-Solicitation.
98
+ During the Restrictive Period, without the
99
+ prior written consent of the Buyer (which Buyer may withhold in the exercise of
100
+ its sole, absolute, and arbitrary discretion), Sellers (including, without
101
+ limitation, any successors) shall not induce or solicit, directly or
102
+ indirectly, through any other entity or with any other person, (whether as an
103
+ owner, shareholder, partner, member, director, officer, employee, agent,
104
+ investor, or otherwise) any employee of the Buyer or its Affiliates who is
105
+ involved in the managed modem business conducted by Buyer or any of its
106
+ Affiliates, including, without limitation, the Business, to terminate the
107
+ employee’s employment with the Buyer or any such Affiliate.
108
+ 1.4                                 Remedies.
109
+ Any breach of any of the covenants set forth
110
+ in this Article 1 would result in irreparable damage to the Buyer.
111
+ Consequently, and without limiting other
112
+ remedies which may exist for a breach of this Agreement, the Buyer will have
113
+ the right to enforce such covenants by obtaining a temporary restraining order,
114
+ preliminary injunction, and permanent injunction restraining any violation
115
+ hereof, pending or following a trial on the merits, without posting any bond
116
+ and in addition to all other remedies available to the Buyer at law or in
117
+ equity.
118
+ 1.5                                 Reasonableness
119
+ of Covenants.
120
+ Sellers acknowledge
121
+ and agree that the covenants contained in this Agreement are reasonable in all
122
+ respects, including without limitation their duration and geographic
123
+ scope.
124
+ Sellers expressly waive any
125
+ defenses as to the reasonableness of such covenants in any action between the
126
+ parties to enforce this Agreement.

+ Effective Date: 12/10/98
4
+
5
+ This Agreement governs the disclosure of information by and between Yahoo!
6
+ Inc., a California corporation, and Restrac, Inc. ("Participant").
7
+ 1.
8
+ The "Confidential Information" is that confidential, proprietary, and
9
+ trade secret information being disclosed by the disclosing party described as
10
+ (please be specific):
11
+
12
+ (a) Yahoo Confidential Information (owned by Yahoo and any of its
13
+ affiliates): Resume and Employment Related.
14
+ (b) Participant Confidential Information: Resume and Employment
15
+ Related.
16
+ 2.
17
+ Except as set forth in this Section 2, all Confidential Information
18
+ shall be in tangible form and shall be marked as Confidential or proprietary
19
+ information of the disclosing party.
20
+ If the Confidential Information is
21
+ disclosed orally or visually, it shall be identified as such at the time of
22
+ disclosure and confirmed in a writing to the recipient within thirty (30) days
23
+ of such disclosure.
24
+ 3.
25
+ Each of the parties agrees that it will not make use of, disseminate, or
26
+ in any way disclose any Confidential Information of the other party to any
27
+ person, firm or business, except to the extent necessary for negotiations,
28
+ discussions and consultations with personnel or authorized representatives of
29
+ the other party and any purpose the other party may hereafter authorize in
30
+ writing.
31
+ Each of the parties agrees that it shall disclose Confidential
32
+ Information of the other party only to those of its employees who need to know
33
+ such information and who have previously agreed, either as a condition to
34
+ employment or in order to obtain the Confidential Information, to be bound by
35
+ terms and conditions substantially similar to those of this Agreement.
36
+ 4.
37
+ There shall be no liability for disclosure or use of Confidential
38
+ Information which is (a) in the public domain through no fault of the receiving
39
+ party (b) rightfully received from a third party without any obligation of
40
+ confidentiality, (c) rightfully known to the receiving party without any
41
+ limitation on use or disclosure prior to its receipt from the disclosing party,
42
+ (d) independently developed by the receiving party, (e) generally made available
43
+ to third parties without any restriction on disclosure, or (f) communicated in
44
+ response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body, as otherwise
45
+ required by law, or as necessary to establish the rights of either party under
46
+ this Agreement (provided that the party so disclosing has provided the other
47
+ party with a reasonable opportunity to seek protective legal treatment for such
48
+ Confidential Information).
49
+ 5.
50
+ "Residual Information" shall mean any Confidential Information of the
51
+ disclosing party which may be retained in intangible form in the minds of those
52
+ individuals of the receiving party who have had proper access to such
53
+ Confidential Information.
54
+ Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, the
55
+ receiving party shall be free to use any Residual Information for any purpose
56
+ whatsoever, including, without limitation, the development of its own products,
57
+ provided that such party shall not be entitled to disclose Residual Information
58
+ to any third parties unless such disclosure is in the course of, or as part of,
59
+ any disclosure of its own products or their development.
60
+ 6.
61
+ Each of the parties agrees that it shall treat all Confidential
62
+ Information of the other party with the same degree of care as it accords to its
63
+ own Confidential Information and each of the parties represents that it
64
+ exercises reasonable care to protect its own Confidential Information.
65
+ 7.
66
+ Each of the parties agrees that it will not modify, reverse engineer,
67
+ decompile, create other works from, or disassemble any software programs
68
+ contained in the Confidential Information of the other party unless otherwise
69
+ specified in writing by the disclosing party.

73
+ All materials (including, without limitation, documents, drawings,
74
+ models, apparatus, sketches, designs and lists) furnished to one party by the
75
+ other, and which are designated in writing to be the property of such party,
76
+ shall remain the property of such party and shall be returned to it promptly at
77
+ its request, together with any copies thereof.
78
+ 9.
79
+ This Agreement shall govern all communications between the parties that
80
+ are made during the period from the effective date of this Agreement to the date
81
+ on which either party receives from the other written notice that subsequent
82
+ communications shall not be so governed, provided, however that each party's
83
+ obligations under Sections 2 and 3 with respect to Confidential Information of
84
+ the other party which it has previously received shall continue unless and until
85
+ such Confidential Information falls within Sections 4 or 5.
86
+ 10.

88
+ violation of the proprietary rights of any third party.

94
+ laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely within

+ California between California residents.

+ mutual agreement of authorized representatives of the parties in writing.

+ securities exchange, market or automated quotation system on which any of the
109
+ Receiving Party's securities are listed or quoted) or by legal process to
110
+ disclose any Evaluation Material or any other information concerning the
111
+ Disclosing Party or the Proposed Transaction, the Receiving Party shall provide

+ other remedy, (ii) to consult with the Receiving Party with respect to the

+ Receiving Party's taking steps to resist or narrow the scope of such request or
116
+ legal process, or (iii) to waive compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms
117
+ of this letter agreement.
118
+ In the event that such protective order or other
119
+ remedy is not obtained, or the Disclosing Party waives compliance, in whole or

28
+ As used in this letter agreement (this
29
+ “Agreement”), the term “Evaluation Material” means all information regarding the Company, its affiliates and its and their respective businesses, technology, products, prospects and plans, a Transaction (including the fact that
30
+ the Company or its affiliates may pursue a Transaction with you and the existence and terms of this Agreement) and other information furnished to you or your Representatives (as defined below) by the Company or any of its Representatives in
31
+ connection with the Transaction, irrespective of form or medium of communication, whether prepared by the Company, its Representatives or otherwise and whether furnished on or after the date of this Agreement, together with all tangible and
32
+ intangible embodiments and copies thereof and together with any and all analyses, compilations, summaries, forecasts, studies or other materials prepared by you or your Representatives that contain, are based on or otherwise incorporate, in whole or
33
+ part, such information.

35
+ members, general partners, advisors, agents or representatives (including legal advisors) and, subject to paragraph 5 below, financing sources, but only to the extent that such advisors, agents, representatives or financing sources receive
36
+ Evaluation Material.
37
+ Use and Confidentiality of Evaluation Materials
38
+ 1.
39
+ You and your Representatives will (i) use the Evaluation Material solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible Transaction with the Company
40
+ involving you and (ii) keep the Evaluation Material strictly confidential and (except as required by applicable law, regulation or legal process, and only after compliance with paragraph 6 below under the heading “Compelled
41
+ Disclosure”) will not, without the Company’s prior written consent, disclose any Evaluation Material to any person, except that the Evaluation Material (or portions thereof) may be disclosed to those of your Representatives who need to
42
+ know such information solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible Transaction (it being understood that prior to such disclosure your Representatives will be informed of the confidential nature of the Evaluation Material and directed that such
43
+ information is to be kept confidential and not used for any purpose other than the evaluation of the possible Transaction).
44
+ You will make reasonable and appropriate efforts to safeguard Evaluation Material from disclosure by you or your
45
+ Representatives to anyone other than as permitted hereby by using, in all material respects, the same degree of care that you use to protect your own confidential, proprietary information.
46
+ You agree to be responsible for any failure by your
47
+ Representatives to comply with this Agreement (including, without limitation, any actions or inactions by your Representatives that would constitute a breach if such Representatives were original signatories hereto (other than with respect to
48
+ paragraph 7 below under the heading “Non-Solicitation and Non-Hire of Employees”)).

55
+ duty or otherwise or (iii) was or is developed or discovered independently by you without reference to the Evaluation Material.
56
+ As used in this Agreement, the term “person” will be broadly interpreted to include, without limitation,
57
+ any corporation, company, joint venture, partnership, association or individual.
58
+ You agree that the Evaluation Material owned by the Company or its affiliates in the first instance is and will remain the property of the Company or its affiliates, as

65
+ a possible Transaction, or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to any such possible Transaction, including, without limitation, the status thereof, the existence and terms of this Agreement and the fact that the Evaluation
66
+ Material has been made available to you.
67
+ Without limiting the foregoing, the Company hereby expressly confirms and agrees that, to its knowledge, no public disclosure with respect to any discussions or negotiations concerning a possible Transaction
68
+ is required by the Company at the time of the execution of this Agreement by reason of securities laws or similar requirements related to general disclosure.

72
+ you or anyone else, that investigations, discussions or negotiations have taken or may take place concerning a possible Transaction, or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to any such possible Transaction, including, without
73
+ limitation, the status thereof, the existence and terms of this Agreement and the fact that the Evaluation Material has been made available to you.
74
+ Without limiting the foregoing, you hereby expressly confirm and agree that, to your knowledge, no

82
+ lead to an agreement, arrangement or understanding) with any person regarding participation in a possible Transaction as a principal, co-investor or source of equity financing.
83
+ For the avoidance of doubt, except as agreed in writing by the Company,
84
+ the term “Representatives” as applied to you will not include any such potential principal, co-investor or source of equity financing.
85
+ You hereby represent and warrant that neither you nor any of your Representatives is party to any

1
+ Exhibit (d)(10)
2
+  
3
+ NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
4
+  
5
+ THIS NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) between Universal Hospital Services, Inc. (“UHS”) and Emergent Group, Inc. (“Company”), is effective October 26, 2010.
6
+ Whereas, UHS and Company intend to engage in confidential discussions for the purpose of evaluating a potential business transaction between UHS and Company (“Business Transaction”), and as part of the Business Transaction, each party anticipates that it will disclose to the other party certain information that its deems confidential and/or proprietary.
7
+ Now, therefore, to assure the confidentiality of the parties’ confidential information and to prevent the unauthorized use or disclosure of this information, UHS and Company agree as follows:
8
+  
9
+ 1.
10
+ Confidential Information Defined.
11
+ The term “Confidential Information” means all confidential and proprietary information belonging to one party (the “Disclosing Party”) that is revealed to the other party (the “Receiving Party”) during the Disclosure Period, which begins on the effective date and ends April 26, 2011.
12
+ Confidential Information, regardless of the form in which it appears, may include, without limitation, information about customers, business and marketing plans, financial data, expertise of employees, forecasts and strategies that is related to the business of the Disclosing Party and is of the type of information that would reasonably be deemed to be confidential.
13
+ 2.
14
+ Use Restriction.
15
+ The Receiving Party agrees to use the Confidential Information for the sole purpose of evaluating and negotiating the Business Transaction.
16
+ 3.
17
+ Disclosure Restrictions and Exceptions.
18
+ The Receiving Party will disclose Confidential Information only to its employees and to its representative whose participation is necessary or helpful to evaluate and advance to the Business Transaction and who have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
19
+ The Receiving Party will limit the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential information.
20
+ Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Receiving Party is not prohibited from disclosing Confidential Information it is legally compelled to disclose (by deposition, subpoena, civil investigative demand, court order or otherwise), provided that the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prompt written notice of any such required disclosure so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy.
21
+ If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained and the Disclosing Party has not waived compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which the Receiving Party is advised by opinion of counsel it is legally required to furnish and will exercise reasonable efforts to limit the scope and content of such disclosure and obtain confidential treatment of such Confidential Information, Furthermore, the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement do not apply with respect to any Confidential Information that (a) is or becomes generally available to the public other than from the improper action of the Receiving Party, (b) is developed by the Receiving Party without reference to the Confidential Information, (c) was in the Receiving Party’s possession before receipt from the Disclosing Party, or (d) is received by the Receiving Party from a third party who is not subject to an obligation of confidentiality owed to the Disclosing Party.
22
+ 4.
23
+ Nondisclosure of Possible Business Transaction.
24
+ Except as permitted by the previous paragraph, neither the Receiving Party nor the Receiving Party’s representatives will disclose to any person the fact that the Confidential information has been made available to the Receiving Party or the Receiving Party’s representatives or that the Receiving Party or the Receiving Party’s representatives have inspected any portion of the Confidential Information.
25
+ 5.
26
+ Waiver.
27
+ The failure of a party to insist, in one or more instances, upon performance of any of the provisions or conditions of this Agreement will not be construed as a waiver of any other provision or condition of this Agreement, and no present waiver will be construed as a future waiver of such provision or condition.
28
+ 6.
29
+ Remedies.
30
+ Because of the unique and proprietary nature of Confidential Information, it is understood and agreed that remedies at law for a breach by the Receiving Party of its obligations under this Agreement may be inadequate and that in the event of such breach or threatened breach the
31
+  
32
+ 1
33
+
34
+
35
+
36
+
37
+
38
+  
39
+ Disclosing Party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including without limitation injunctive relief and specific performance.
40
+ The remedies set forth in this Section are in addition to any other remedies available for any such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages from the breaching party.
41
+ 7.
42
+ Assignment.
43
+ This Agreement is not assignable by either party without the prior express written consent of the other, except that UHS may assign this Agreement to an affiliate or to a successor in interest to which the business relates.
44
+ 8.
45
+ Entire Agreement and Amendment.
46
+ This Agreement states the entire understanding of the parties regarding the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and it cannot be altered or amended without a writing signed by both parties.
47
+ This Agreement will not be construed to create any obligation on the part of either party to retain the other party’s services or to compensate the other party in any manner.
48
+ 9.
49
+ Return of Confidential Information.
50
+ Upon the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party or destroy all documents or other materials furnished by the Disclosing Party constituting Confidential Information, together with all copies thereof in the possession, custody or control of the Receiving Party, without retaining any copies.
51
+ Any destruction must be confirmed by the Receiving Party to the Disclosing Party in writing.
52
+ Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the Receiving Party is not required to return or destroy computer files stored in the ordinary course of its business as a result of automated back-up procedures (subject, however, to the confidentiality restrictions set forth herein).
53
+ 10.
54
+ Term.
55
+ The Receiving Party’s obligations imposed pursuant to this Agreement will continue for two years from the date hereof.

82
+ 4.

84
+ ABRH has no obligation to disclose any Confidential
85
+ Information that it owns or possesses to the Company or its Representatives under this Agreement.
86
+ Neither party has any obligation to enter into any transaction with the other.
87

+ All Confidential Information of ABRH will remain the sole and exclusive property of ABRH.
90
+ This Agreement grants no rights of ownership,

+ ABRH), all equipment, documents, devices of any kind, or other material of any kind, in any form, containing any Confidential Information, together with all copies, summaries, abstracts, excerpts, extracts, replicas, reproductions, and samples of
99
+ any of the foregoing, and certify the destruction of any copy or partial copy made.
100
+ Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company may retain such copies of the Confidential Information that reside on the Company’s back-up storage or archiving
101
+ system, solely for document retention purposes and not for any other use, and for compliance purposes as required by law or to evidence compliance of Company’s obligations under this Agreement.
102
+ 6.

+ Further, during the term of eighteen (18) months beginning on the date hereof, the Company shall not knowingly solicit or
116
+ recruit management or executive level employees of ABRH who became known to the Company through work on the above transaction or purpose contemplated above, without the prior written consent of ABRH.
117
+ Regardless of the above, this provision shall not
118
+ restrict the right of the Company to solicit or recruit such employees as a result of any substantial asset purchase or sale or merger or through the general use of the media, and the Company shall not be prohibited from hiring such employees who
119
+ answer any general advertisement or otherwise voluntarily apply for hire without having been personally solicited or recruited by the Company.
120
+ 7.
121
+ Irreparable Injury; Injunctive Relief.
122

123
+ the Company, including the Company’s Representatives, or any other breach by the Company, may result in irreparable injury to ABRH that is not adequately compensable in monetary damages.
124
+ Accordingly, the Company acknowledges that in the event
125
+ of a breach of this Agreement, ABRH shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the need to post any bond and in addition to any other remedy available at law or in equity.
126

127
+ any patents or other intellectual property of FormFactor, other than for the

71
+ Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information.
72
+ During the course of Employee’s employment with a Financial Institution, Employee agrees that Employee has or will continue to become knowledgeable about, or come to be in possession of, Confidential Information.
73
+ If such Confidential Information were to be divulged or become known to any competitor of a Banking Organization, or to any other Person outside of a Banking Organization, or if Employee were to consent to be employed by any competitor of a Banking Organization, or to engage in competition with a Banking Organization, such Banking Organization will be harmed.

+ Employee shall not, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than the benefit of a Banking Organization, and shall not directly or indirectly, disclose, communicate, deliver, exhibit or provide any Confidential Information to any Person, except other Employees or Agents of a Banking Organization who have a need to know such Confidential Information for a proper corporate or business purpose, as required in the normal course of Employee’s service as an employee.
76
+ Nothing in this Section 4, or any other provision of this Agreement, shall be construed to prohibit Employee from reporting conduct to, providing truthful information to, or participating in any investigation or proceeding brought or conducted by any federal or state government agency or self-regulatory organization.
77
+ Employee specifically acknowledges that the Confidential Information, whether reduced to writing or maintained electronically or in the mind or memory of Employee and, whether compiled by a Banking Organization and/or the Employee, derives independent economic value from not being readily known to or ascertainable by proper means by others who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, that reasonable efforts have been put forth by each Banking Organization to maintain the secrecy of such information, that such information is the sole property of such Banking Organization and that any retention and/or use of such information during or after Employee’s employment with either Financial Institution (except in the course of performing the Employee’s duties of employment with a Financial Institution and except as otherwise set forth above) constitutes a misappropriation of a Banking Organization’s Confidential Information.
78

93

119
+  
120
+ c.                                       Solicit, entice or persuade (or attempt to Solicit, entice or persuade) any Employee to terminate his or her employment with a Banking Organization, or offer or provide employment (whether such employment is with Employee or any other Person) either on a full-time or part-time, consulting or Independent Contractor basis; or
121
+  
122
+ d.                                      Solicit, entice or persuade (or attempt to Solicit, entice or persuade) any Independent Contractors or Agents to terminate their contract or relationship with a Banking Organization or discontinue providing services to a Banking Organization and/or Customers; or

129
+ 8.
130
+ Severability/Blue Pencil.
131
+ Each of the provisions of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, the restrictive covenants in Sections 5 and 6, are distinct and severable, notwithstanding that the covenants may be set forth in one section for convenience.
132
+ If any provision of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable in whole or in part, for any reason, neither the validity of the remaining part of such provision nor the validity of any other provision of this Agreement shall in any way be affected.
133
+ Should any particular restrictive covenant, provision or clause of this Agreement be held unreasonable or unenforceable for any reason, including without limitation, the time period, geographic area and/or scope of activity covered by such covenant, provision or clause, the parties acknowledge and agree that such covenant, provision or clause shall be given effect and enforce to whatever extent would be

97

98

99
+ Non-Disclosure of
100
+ Confidential Information.
101
+ During the course of Employee’s employment with a Financial Institution, Employee agrees that Employee has or will continue to become knowledgeable about, or come to be in possession of, Confidential Information.
102
+ If such Confidential Information were to be divulged or become known to any competitor of a Banking Organization, or to any other Person outside of a Banking Organization, or if Employee were to consent to be employed by any competitor of a Banking
103
+ Organization, or to engage in competition with a Banking Organization, such Banking Organization will be harmed.
104
+ In addition, Employee has or may develop relationships with Customers or Potential Customers so that the Confidential Information could
105
+ be used to Solicit the business of such Customer or Potential Customer away from a Banking Organization.
106
+ Employee shall not, directly or
107
+ indirectly, use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than the benefit of a Banking Organization, and shall not directly or indirectly, disclose, communicate, deliver, exhibit or provide any Confidential Information to any Person,
108
+ except other Employees or Agents of a Banking Organization who have a need to know such Confidential Information for a proper corporate or business purpose, as required in the normal course of Employee’s service as an employee.
109
+ Nothing in
110
+ this Section 4, or any other provision of this Agreement, shall be construed to prohibit Employee from reporting conduct to, providing truthful information to, or participating in any
111
+ investigation or proceeding brought or conducted by any federal or state government agency or self-regulatory organization.
112
+ Employee
113
+ specifically acknowledges that the Confidential Information, whether reduced to writing or maintained electronically or in the mind or memory of Employee and, whether compiled by a Banking Organization and/or the Employee, derives independent
114
+ economic value from not being readily known to or ascertainable by proper means by others who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use, that reasonable efforts have been put forth by each Banking Organization to maintain the secrecy of
115
+ such information, that such information is the sole property of such Banking Organization and that any retention and/or use of such information during or after Employee’s employment with either Financial Institution (except in the course of
116
+ performing the Employee’s duties of employment with a Financial Institution and except as otherwise set forth above) constitutes a misappropriation of a Banking Organization’s Confidential Information.
117
+ Employee agrees that all Confidential Information and all records, documents and materials relating to all Confidential Information (including
118
+ all copies thereof) shall be and remain the sole and exclusive property of a Banking Organization, and upon Employee’s termination of employment, all such Confidential Information, whether in paper or electronic form, shall be returned to a
119
+ Financial Institution in good condition, without Employee retaining a copy thereof, including, but not limited to, retaining an electronic copy on any electronic device regardless of whether such device is owned by Employee.
120
+ At a Financial
121
+ Institution’s request, Employee shall provide written verification, under the penalties for perjury, of his/her compliance with this covenant.
122
+ 5.
123
+ Non-Solicitation of Customers and Potential Customers.
124
+ Employee
125
+ acknowledges and agrees that by virtue of Employee’s position with a Banking Organization, Employee has or will have advantageous familiarity and personal contacts with Customers and Potential Customers and will have advantageous familiarity
126
+ with the business operations and affairs of a Banking Organization.
127
+ Employee

+   4
129
+
130
+
131
+
132
+
133
+
134
+ further acknowledges and agrees that Employee has been or will be placed in a position that, were Employee to leave a Financial Institution to compete with the business of a Banking Organization,
135
+ such entity from which the Employee departed would, upon violation of this Agreement, suffer irreparable harm and financial loss, as well as lost goodwill and Confidential Information.
136
+ Therefore, in consideration of the covenants of all Financial
137
+ Institutions contained herein, Employee agrees that during Employee’s employment with a Financial Institution, and for a period of one (1) year immediately following the termination of Employee’s employment with a Financial
138
+ Institution (“Restriction Period”), for whatever reason and regardless of how Employee’s employment was terminated, Employee shall not, directly or indirectly (including, but not limited to, through other individuals, any partnership,
139
+ corporation or business entity in which Employee has an ownership interest or serves as an officer, employee, independent contractor, representative, agent or consultant), either for Employee’s own benefit or the benefit of any other Person:
140
+  
141
+
142
+
143
+  
144
+ a.
145
+ Solicit, divert, or take away (or attempt to Solicit, divert or take away) any Banking and Financial Services
146
+ to or from any Customer or Potential Customer; or  
147
+
148
+
149
+  
150
+ b.
151
+ advise, persuade or induce (or attempt to advise, persuade or induce) any Customer or Potential Customer to
152
+ terminate, reduce, limit, or change the Customer’s services or business relationship, or the Potential Customer’s contemplated services or business relationship, with a Financial Institution; or
153
+  
154
+
155
+
156
+  
157
+ c.
158
+ directly provide Banking and Financial Services to, or directly accept Banking and Financial Services from, any
159
+ Customer or Potential Customer.
160
+ This Agreement is not intended to prevent Employee from accepting employment with an
161
+ organization that competes with the Banking Organizations by offering Banking and Financial Services to Customers or Potential Customers.
162
+ The Parties acknowledge that Employee may be associated with such an Organization and that such association may
163
+ place Employee in a senior or supervisory role to those in the organization that have contact with Customers or Potential Customers.
164
+ Employee shall not be in violation of this Agreement merely by engaging in such a role, which may include:
165
+  
166
+
167
+
168
+  
169
+ a.
170
+ supervising those who provide Banking and Financial Services to Customers or Potential Customers;
171
+  
172
+
173
+
174
+  
175
+ b.
176

3
+ Pursuant to the Agreement to which this Exhibit B is annexed, Company may be
4
+ disclosing to Independent Contractor certain confidential business plans,
5
+ development plans, reports, financial information, design documents,
6
+ specifications, programmer notes, software (its own and/or third party), and/or
7
+ other information, whether or not so identified (together with any notes,
8
+ analyses, compilations, studies, or other documents that are based upon,
9
+ contain, or otherwise reflect such information, the "Confidential Information,"
10
+ which shall include this Agreement).
11
+ The parties agree as follows with respect
12
+ to treatment of the Confidential Information:
13
+
14
+ 1.
15
+ Independent Contractor shall use the Confidential Information solely
16
+ for the purpose of performing the Services specified in the applicable SOW and
17
+ not for any other purpose.
18
+ Except to the extent permitted by Section 3 below,
19
+ Independent Contractor will not disclose the Confidential Information, in whole
20
+ or in part, to any other party.
21
+ In fulfilling its obligations under this
22
+ Agreement, Independent Contractor shall use at least the same standard of care
23
+ it uses to protect its own information of similar kind, but not less than a
24
+ reasonable standard of care.
25
+ 2.
26
+ The term "Confidential Information" shall be deemed not to include
27
+ information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than
28
+ (a) as a result of a disclosure by Independent Contractor or any other person
29
+ who directly or indirectly receives such information from the Independent
30
+ Contractor or (b) in violation of a confidentiality obligation to the Company
31
+ known to Independent Contractor or (ii) is or becomes available to Independent
32
+ Contractor on a non-confidential basis from a source which is entitled to
33
+ disclose it to Independent Contractor or (iii) is independently developed by
34
+ Independent Contractor without benefit of the Confidential Information.
35
+ 3.
36
+ In the event that Independent Contractor is required by law or by
37
+ interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, Civil
38
+ Investigative Demand, or similar process to disclose any information supplied to
39
+ Independent Contractor pursuant to the Agreement, including without limitation
40
+ the Confidential Information or any other information the disclosure of which is
41
+ restricted by the terms of this Exhibit B, Independent Contractor will provide
42
+ the Company with prompt prior written notice of such request or requirement so
43
+ that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order.
44
+ If, in the absence of
45
+ a protective order, Independent Contractor is nonetheless, in the written
46
+ opinion of its counsel (which shall be forwarded to the Company upon request),
47
+ compelled to disclose Confidential Information or any other information the
48
+ disclosure of which is restricted by the terms of this Exhibit B to any tribunal
49
+ or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other material censure or penalty,
50
+ Independent Contractor may disclose only that portion of the Confidential
51
+ Information or other information which it is advised in writing by its counsel
52
+ (which shall be forwarded to the Company upon request) is so legally compelled
53
+ and Independent Contractor will exercise its best efforts to obtain assurance
54
+ that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.
55
+ 4.
56
+ All Confidential Information disclosed by the Company to Independent
57
+ Contractor shall be and shall remain the Company's property.
58
+ Upon termination of
59
+ the Agreement, Independent Contractor shall redeliver all tangible Confidential
60
+ Information furnished by the Company.
61
+ Except to the extent Independent
62
+ Contractor is advised in writing by counsel that such action is prohibited by
63
+ law, Independent Contractor will also destroy all written material, memoranda,
64
+ notes, and other writings or recordings whatsoever prepared by it based upon,
65
+ containing, or otherwise reflecting any Confidential Information.
66
+ Any
67
+ Confidential Information that is not returned or destroyed, including without
68
+ limitation any oral Confidential Information, shall remain subject to the
69
+ confidentiality obligations set forth in this Exhibit B.
70
+ 5.
71
+ Independent Contractor acknowledges and agrees that money damages would
72
+ not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Exhibit B by Independent
73
+ Contractor and that the Company shall be entitled to specific performance,
74
+ including without limitation injunctive relief, as a remedy for any such breach.
75
+ Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this
76
+ Exhibit B but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or
77
+ equity.
78
+ Independent Contractor agrees to reimburse the Company for costs and
79
+ expenses (including without limitation attorneys' fees) incurred by the Company
80
+ in connection with the enforcement of this Exhibit B.
81
+ 6.
82
+ If any provision of this Exhibit B is not enforceable in whole or in
83
+ part, the remaining provisions of this Exhibit B shall not be affected thereby.
84
+ No failure or delay in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall
85
+ operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof
86
+ preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other
87
+ right, power, or privilege hereunder.

+ such information will be kept confidential, except that each party may disclose the Evaluation Material or portions thereof to those of its directors, officers, employees, consultants, advisors and
26
+ professional representatives (the persons to whom such disclosure is permissible being collectively called "Representatives") in each case who need to know such information for the purpose of
27
+ evaluating a possible transaction between the Companies; provided, however, that prior to disclosing the
28
+ Evaluation Material or any portion thereof to
29
+ any of such Representatives, the disclosing party will secure the undertaking of its Representative to be bound by the terms of this Confidentiality Agreement to the same extent that the disclosing
30
+ party is bound by this Agreement.
31
+ Each party agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement or such undertaking by it or its Representatives.
32
+ In the event that either party or any of its
33
+ Representatives become legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Evaluation Material, such
34
+ party shall provide the other party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement so that the other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with
35
+ the terms of this Agreement.
36
+ In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that the other party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the disclosing party agrees
37
+ to furnish only that portion of the Evaluation Material which it is advised by written opinion of its counsel is legally required and to exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that
38
+ confidential treatment will be accorded such Evaluation Material.
39
+ (2)  The
40
+ term "Evaluation Material" does not include any information which (i) at the time of disclosure or thereafter is generally available to and known by the
41
+ public (other than in the case of Evaluation Material for Scientific Games as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by MDI or its Representatives and in the case of Evaluation Material for
42
+ MDI as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by Scientific Games or its Representatives), (ii) was or becomes available to Scientific Games or MDI on a nonconfidential basis from a
43
+ source other than the other party or its advisors, provided that such source is not and was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with or for the benefit of the party with respect to whom the
44
+ information pertains, or (iii) was in
45
+
46
+
47
+
48
+
49
+
50
+
51
+
52
+ the possession of the disclosing party prior to the date of this Agreement and was obtained by such party without the breach, directly or indirectly, by such party or any other person of any
53
+ obligation or duty owed to the party with respect to whom the information pertains.
54
+ (3)  If
55
+ a transaction between the Companies is not consummated or if either party at any time so requests, each party will promptly return to the other party all copies of
56
+ the Evaluation Material in its possession or in the possession of its Representatives, and each party will destroy all copies of any analyses, compilations, studies or other documents prepared by it
57
+ or for its use containing or reflecting any Evaluation Material.
58
+ (4)  Without
59
+ the prior written consent of the other party, each party will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose to any person either the status of the
60
+ investigations, discussions or negotiations taking place concerning a possible transaction between the parties, or that either party has requested or received Evaluation Material from the other party
61
+ or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to any such possible transaction except as disclosed in that certain letter of intent between the parties dated February 25, 2002.
62
+ The term "person" as used in this Agreement will be interpreted broadly to include, without limitation, any corporation, company, partnership or individual.
63
+ The obligations of Scientific Games and MDI under this paragraph (4) shall be subject to their disclosure obligations under federal and state securities laws.
64
+ (5)  It
65
+ is understood that each party will arrange for appropriate contacts for due diligence purposes.
66
+ It is further understood that all (i) communications regarding
67
+ the possible negotiated transaction contemplated hereby, (ii) requests for additional information, (ii) requests for facility tours or management meetings and (iv) discussions or
68
+ questions regarding procedures, will be submitted or directed, in the case of Scientific Games, to Mr. Martin E. Schloss or Mr. C. Gray Bethea, Jr., and in the case of MDI, to Steve M.
69
+ Saferin or Kenneth M. Przysiecki.
70
+ (6)  Each
71
+ party understands and acknowledges that the other party is making no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the
72
+ Evaluation Material, and neither the disclosing party, nor any of its respective officers, directors, employees, stockholders, affiliates or agents will have any liability to the other party or any
73
+ other person resulting from such other party's use of the Evaluation Material.
74
+ Only those representations or warranties that are made to MDI or Scientific Games, as the case may be, in a Definitive
75
+ Agreement when, as, and if it is executed, and subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be specified in such Definitive Agreement, will have any legal effect.
76
+ (7)  Each
77
+ party also understands and agrees that no contract or agreement providing for any transaction shall be deemed to exist between the parties unless and until a
78
+ Definitive Agreement has been executed and delivered, and each party hereby waives, in advance, any claims (including, without limitation, breach of contract) in connection with or involving the other
79
+ party or any of its businesses based on the purported existence of any such contract or agreement unless and until and only to the extent that the parties shall have entered into a Definitive
80
+ Agreement with respect to which a breach is alleged.
81
+ Each party also agrees that unless and until a Definitive Agreement between the parties with respect to a negotiated transaction has been executed
82
+ and delivered, neither of the parties nor their stockholders has any legal obligation of any kind whatsoever with respect to any such transaction by virtue of this Agreement or any other written or
83
+ oral expression with respect to such transaction except, in the case of this Agreement, for the matters specifically agreed to herein.
84
+ For purposes of this paragraph, the term "Definitive Agreement"
85
+ does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid on the part of either party.
86
+ Each
87
+ party further understands that (i) each party shall be free to negotiate for or with respect to any transaction respecting itself or any or all of its business as such party in its sole
88
+ discretion shall determine (including, without limitation, negotiating with any of prospective merger partners, sellers or buyers
89

+

+

+ and entering into a Definitive Agreement respecting any thereof without prior notice to the other party or any other person) and (ii) each party shall not have any claims whatsoever against
98
+ the other party, or any of such other party's respective directors, officers, stockholders, affiliates or agents arising out of or relating to any such transaction (other than those as against the
99
+ parties to a Definitive Agreement with you in accordance with the terms thereof).
100
+ Neither this paragraph nor any other provision in this Agreement can be waived or amended except by written consent of
101
+ the party which is sought to be bound, which consent shall specifically make such waiver or amendment.
102
+ (8)  Each
103
+ party agrees that the other party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, in the event of any breach of the provisions
104
+ of this Agreement, in addition to all other remedies available to the other part at law or in equity.
105
+ (9)  It
106
+ is further understood and agreed that no failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor
107
+ will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any right, power or privilege hereunder.
108
+ This
109
+ Agreement is for the benefit of the parties and will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware.
110

6
+ Commerce Corp, a California Corporation (“Heritage”), Heritage Bank of
7
+ Commerce, a California banking corporation (“HBC”) and James Mayer (“Shareholder”).
8
+ WHEREAS, concurrently with the execution of this
9
+ Agreement, Heritage, HBC and Diablo Valley Bank (“Diablo”) have entered
10
+ into that certain Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”)
11
+ dated as of February 8, 2007 whereby on the Effective Date (as defined in
12
+ the Merger Agreement) Diablo will merge with and into HBC and HBC shall survive
13
+ the merger (the “Merger”).
14
+ WHEREAS, Shareholder is the President and Chief
15
+ Executive Officer of Diablo and beneficially owns approximately 5.77% of the
16
+ issued and outstanding shares of Diablo common stock;
17
+ WHEREAS, Shareholder acknowledges that the execution
18
+ and delivery of this Agreement by Shareholder is a condition precedent to the
19
+ obligations of the parties entering into the Merger Agreement and the
20
+ consummation of the Merger, and Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that
21
+ Heritage, HBC and Diablo would not proceed forward and consummate the transactions
22
+ contemplated under the Merger Agreement unless Shareholder enters into this
23
+ Agreement;
24
+ WHEREAS, Heritage, HBC and Shareholder acknowledge
25
+ that the covenants and agreements of Shareholder contained in this Agreement
26
+ are necessary to protect and preserve Diablo’s business for the benefit of
27
+ Heritage and HBC after consummation of the transactions contemplated by the Merger
28
+ Agreement;
29
+ WHEREAS, Shareholder has significant knowledge and
30
+ information concerning the business of Diablo and that such business is very
31
+ competitive;
32
+ WHEREAS, Shareholder will receive significant
33
+ consideration for the Shareholder’s exchange of his Diablo common stock through
34
+ the Merger;
35
+ WHEREAS, HBC has agreed to provide Shareholder with a
36
+ three year employment agreement pursuant to which Shareholder will become an
37
+ Executive Vice President of HBC on the Effective Date (as defined herein);
38
+ WHEREAS, this Agreement shall become effective at the
39
+ Effective Time (as defined in the Merger Agreement) of the Merger (the “Effective
40
+ Date”);
41
+ NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and
42
+ covenants contained herein and for other good and valuable consideration, the
43
+ receipt, sufficiency and adequacy of which are mutually acknowledged by each
44
+ party, it is agreed as follows:
45
+ 1.
46
+ Definitions.
47
+ Capitalized terms used in this Agreement not
48
+ otherwise defined have the meaning given such term in the Merger Agreement.
49
+ For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Business”
50
+ means the business of banking (including, without limitation, the acceptance of
51
+ deposits and the making of loans) as conducted by state chartered banks,
52
+ nationally chartered banks or office of thrift supervision chartered
53
+ institutions conducting business in the state of California (a) to be
54
+ undertaken in the formation of a new banking organization or (b) engaged
55
+ in by an existing banking organization with $1 billon or less of assets.
56
+ 2.
57
+ Purpose.
58
+ Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the
59
+ market for the Business is very competitive within the Restrictive Territory
60
+ (as defined herein), and one way that Diablo maintained its business and its
61
+ competitive position in the marketplace prior to the Closing was by investing
62
+ time and money in developing proprietary products, unique approaches to the
63
+ business, banking systems and strong client, vendor, and employee
64
+ relationships.
65
+ Shareholder further
66
+ acknowledges and agrees that proprietary and other information related to such
67
+ 1
68
+
69
+
70
+ products, approaches and
71
+ relationships are highly confidential, and maintaining that confidentiality is
72
+ critical to Diablo’s success.
73
+ Shareholder further acknowledges and agrees that Diablo has invested
74
+ substantial time and resources into developing relationships, customer lists
75
+ and business models and strategies and that disruption of such relationships or
76
+ misuse of such lists, models, and strategies would damage Heritage and HBC.
77
+ 3.
78
+ Shareholder
79
+ Covenants.
80
+ (a)           Non-Competition.
81
+ Shareholder hereby covenants and agrees that
82
+ from the Effective Date until the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date (“Restricted Period”),
83
+ Shareholder will not without the prior written consent of Heritage, engage or
84
+ participate or have any interest, directly or indirectly, in any Business
85
+ anywhere in the counties of Santa Clara, Alameda, Contra Costa, Marin,
86
+ San Francisco and San Mateo located in the State of California (“Restricted
87
+ Territory”) (all such entities shall be referred to each as “Competitor” or

+ collectively as “Competitors,”), with respect to the following acts:  (i) own any equity interest in any
89
+ Competitor; (ii) operate, join, control, advise, become a founder or

+ Companies”) to withdraw, curtail or cancel its business with Heritage, HBC
96
+ or the Affiliated Companies anywhere in the Restricted Territory;
97
+ (v) induce or influence (or attempt to induce or influence) any person or
98

+ otherwise) by Heritage, HBC or the Affiliated Companies to terminate his, her
100
+ or its employment or engagement for the purpose of obtaining employment with a
101
+ Competitor; (vi) solicit any employee of Heritage, HBC or the Affiliated
102
+ Companies to leave employment and become affiliated with any Competitor; (vii)
103
+ solicit any actual or “prospective customer” (as hereinafter defined), which
104
+ was served by Diablo in connection with any business of Diablo, or (viii)
105
+ solicit, influence or attempt to influence any customer which is or was served
106
+ by Diablo to discontinue its business or service available from Heritage, HBC
107
+ or the Affiliated Companies; provided, that, Shareholder may own
108
+ and hold as an investment of up to 1% of any corporation within the Restricted
109
+ Territory that is listed on a national stock exchange and that is engaged in a
110
+ business that is competitive with Heritage, HBC or an Affiliated Company, but
111
+ Shareholder may not otherwise participate (whether in management or otherwise)
112
+ in such corporation.
113
+ A “prospective
114
+ customer” shall mean a company, person or other entity with which
115
+ Shareholder knows, or reasonably should know, that Diablo has had actual
116
+ contact with or has begun formulating a targeted strategy for contact at any
117
+ time during the term of this Agreement in connection with the operation of the
118
+ Business.
119
+ “Engaged in business”
120
+ shall include, without limitation, establishment of goodwill or business
121
+ reputation, maintenance of business assets and properties, and dealings with
122
+ customers, strategic partners, prospective customers, suppliers, or vendors.
123
+ (b)           Confidentiality.
124
+ Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the
125
+ Shareholder has occupied a position of trust and confidence with Diablo prior
126
+ to the date hereof and has had access to and has become familiar with the
127
+ following, any and all of which constitutes confidential information of Diablo
128
+ (collectively “Confidential Information”) (a) any and all proprietary intellectual
129
+ property or trade secrets concerning the business and affairs of Diablo,
130
+ product specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes,
131
+ designs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, past, current and
132
+ planned research and development, customer lists, current and anticipated
133
+ customer requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans, computer
134
+ software and programs (including object code and source code), database
135
+ technologies, systems, structures, architectures, processes, improvements,
136
+ devices, know-how, discoveries, concepts, methods, information of Diablo and
137
+ any other information, however documented, of Diablo that is a trade secret
138
+ within the meaning of any applicable law; (b) any and all proprietary non-public
139
+ information concerning the business and affairs of Diablo (which includes any
140
+ historical financial statements, financial projections, and budgets, historical
141
+ and projected sales, capital spending budgets and plans, the names and
142
+ backgrounds of key personnel, contractors, agents, suppliers, personnel
143
+ training, techniques and materials, manufacturing methods, designs and
144
+ techniques, purchasing methods and techniques, however documented; and
145
+ (c) any and all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries and
146
+ other material prepared by or for Diablo containing or based, in whole or part,
147
+ upon any information included in the foregoing.
148
+ Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the
149
+ protection of the Confidential Information is necessary to protect and preserve
150
+ the value of Diablo’s business and proprietary properties being acquired by
151
+ Heritage and HBC.
152
+ Therefore, Shareholder
153
+ hereby agrees not to, at any time, disclose to any unauthorized Persons or use
154
+ for his or its own account or for the benefit of any third party any
155
+ Confidential Information, whether or not such information is
156
+ 2
157
+
158
+
159
+ embodied in writing or other physical form or is
160
+ retained in the memory of Shareholder, without Heritage’s written consent,
161
+ unless and to the extent that the Confidential Information is or becomes
162
+ generally known to and available for use by the public other than as a result
163
+ of Shareholder’s fault or the fault of any other Person bound by a duty of
164
+ confidentiality to Heritage, HBC or the Affiliated Companies.
165
+ Shareholder
166
+ agrees to deliver to Heritage at the Effective Date, and at any other time
167
+ Heritage may request, all documents, memoranda, notes, plans, records, reports
168
+ and other documentation, models, components, devices or computer software,
169
+ whether embodied in a disk or in other form (and all copies of all of the
170
+ foregoing), that contain Confidential Information and any other Confidential
171
+ Information that Shareholder may then possess or have under Shareholder’s
172
+ control.
173
+ (c)           Breach.
174
+ Shareholder, Heritage and HBC each recognize
175
+ and acknowledge that the Confidential Information and other knowledge
176
+ Shareholder has about Diablo and has and will obtain from Heritage, HBC or the
177
+ Affiliated Companies is special and unique, and any violation of the covenants
178
+ contained in this Agreement is likely to cause irreparable damage to Heritage,
179
+ HBC or the Affiliated Companies.
180
+ Therefore, the parties agree that, upon any breach of any covenant
181
+ contained in this Section 3 by Shareholder, Heritage and HBC shall be
182
+ entitled to an appropriate injunction for a violation of such covenant,
183
+ threatened or actual, of such covenant, in addition to all other relief
184
+ available under applicable law.
185
+ If a court
186
+ or arbitrator has determined that Shareholder has committed a breach by
187
+ Shareholder of any covenant set forth in Section 3 of this Agreement, the Restricted
188
+ Period will be extended by the period of the duration of such breach.
189
+ (d)           Acknowledgment.
190
+ Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the
191
+ restrictions set forth in this Section 3 are reasonable in scope and
192
+ essential to the preservation of Diablo’s business and proprietary properties
193
+ and that enforcement of these restrictions will not cause Shareholder any
194
+ hardship, and because of Shareholder’s background and experience, will not in
195
+ any manner preclude Shareholder from becoming gainfully employed in such a
196
+ manner and to such an extent as will provide a standard of living for
197
+ Shareholder and the members of Shareholder’s family of at least the sort and
198
+ fashion to which they have become accustomed.
199
+ Each of Heritage, HBC and Shareholder acknowledges and agrees that the
200
+ covenants and agreements contained in this Section 3 have been negotiated
201
+ in good faith by each of them.
202
+ Each of
203
+ Heritage, HBC and Shareholder further acknowledges that (i) the goodwill
204
+ associated with the existing vendors, customers, assets and employees of Diablo
205
+ prior to the transactions contemplated herein is an integral component of the
206
+ value of Diablo to Heritage and HBC and is reflected in the consideration to be
207
+ received by Diablo shareholders, including the Shareholder pursuant to this
208
+ Agreement, and (ii) the covenants and agreements contained in this
209
+ Section 3 are necessary to preserve the value of Diablo’s business and
210
+ proprietary properties for Heritage and HBC following the transaction.
211
+ Each of Heritage, HBC and Shareholder
212
+ acknowledges that the limitations of time, geography and scope of activity
213
+ agreed to in Section 3 are reasonable because, among other things:  (A) Heritage, HBC and Diablo are engaged
214
+ in a highly competitive industry and have their operations in the Restricted
215
+ Territory, (B) Shareholder had unique access to, and will continue to have
216
+ access to, Confidential Information, including trade secrets, and know-how of Diablo
217
+ and its business and proprietary properties, (C) Shareholder is receiving
218
+ significant consideration in connection with the transactions contemplated by
219
+ the Merger Agreement and this Agreement, and (D) this Agreement provides
220
+ no more protection than is necessary to protect Heritage’s and HBC’s interest
221
+ in the goodwill of Diablo and its business and proprietary properties,
222
+ Confidential Information and Diablo, Heritage and HBC trade secrets.
223
+ (e)           No Disparagement.
224
+ Shareholder will not, directly or indirectly,
225
+ disparage Heritage and HBC, the business formerly conducted by Diablo, the
226
+ business conducted by Heritage and HBC or any shareholder, director, officer,
227
+ employee or agent of Heritage or HBC;
228
+ (f)            Future Employer.
229
+ Shareholder will, during the Restrictive
230
+ Period, within ten days after accepting any employment, consulting engagement,
231
+ engagement as an independent contractor, partnership or other association that
232
+ might reasonably involve the Business, advise Heritage of the identity of the
233
+ new employer, client, partner or other Person with whom Shareholder has become
234
+ associated.
235
+ Following receipt of such
236
+ notice, if Heritage in its reasonable judgment determines that Shareholder’s
237
+ proposed association involves a Person engaged in the Business, Heritage may
238
+ serve notice upon each such Person that such Shareholder is bound by this
239
+ Agreement and furnish each such Person with a copy of this Agreement or
240
+ relevant portions thereof.
241
+ (g)           Separate Agreement.
242
+ The covenants of Shareholder contained in
243
+ this Section 3 shall each be construed independently of any other
244
+ provision in this Agreement, and the existence of any claim or cause of
245
+ 3
246
+
247
+
248
+ action of Shareholder
249
+ against Heritage or HBC whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise,
250
+ shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Heritage or HBC of such
251
+ covenants.
252
+ (h)           Survival of
253
+ Covenants.
254
+ The covenants contained
255
+ in this Section 3 shall survive the termination of this Agreement by
256
+ either party hereto in accordance with the provisions of this Section 3.
257
+ 4.
258
+ Conflict.
259
+ Shareholder represents and warrants to
260
+ Heritage and HBC that Shareholder has not executed any written agreement with
261
+ any other person or entity that would prohibit Shareholder from entering into
262
+ this Agreement.
263
+ Further, Shareholder
264
+ represents and warrants to Heritage and HBC that the execution of this
265
+ Agreement by Shareholder will not conflict with any obligations or duties which
266
+ Shareholder may have to prior employers or pursuant to any other agreement.
267
+ 5.
268
+ Non-Disclosure of
269
+ Agreement.
270
+ Shareholder shall not
271
+ disclose the terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other document
272
+ executed in connection herewith except to Shareholder’s lawyers, accountants,
273
+ tax advisors and spouse or by law to any Person; provided that
274
+ Shareholder may disclose the non-competition and confidentiality covenants
275
+ contained in Section 3 of this Agreement to a prospective employer or
276
+ business partner with the prior written consent of Heritage.
277
+ 6.
278
+ Successors and
279
+ Assigns.
280
+ This Agreement will be
281
+ binding upon Heritage and HBC and Shareholder and will inure to the benefit of
282
+ Heritage and HBC and its affiliates, successors and assigns.
283
+ 7.
284
+ Waiver.
285
+ The rights and remedies of the parties to
286
+ this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.
287
+ Neither the failure nor any
288
+ delay by any party in exercising any right, power or privilege under this
289
+ Agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power or privilege, and no
290
+ single or partial exercise of any such right, power or privilege will preclude
291
+ any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise
292
+ of any other right, power or privilege.
293
+ To the maximum extent permitted by
294
+ applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement can be
295
+ discharged, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or
296
+ right except in writing; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be
297
+ applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no
298
+ notice to or demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any
299
+ obligation of such party, or of the right of the party giving such notice or
300
+ demand to require the other party, to take further action without notice or
301
+ demand as provided in this Agreement.
302
+ 8.
303
+ Governing Law.
304
+ This Agreement will be governed by the laws
305
+ applied by courts of California to contracts entered into within that state by
306
+ parties residing within that state and having no connection to any other state.
307
+ 9.

309
+ Service of Process.

11

+ terms that will protect the confidential and proprietary nature of such information, the Parties have entered into this Agreement.
25
+ NOW THEREFORE, THE PARTIES AGREE AS

+ FOLLOWS;
27
+  
28
+
29

32
+ principals, employees or representatives.
33
+ “Confidential Information” shall include, without limitation, all ideas improvements,
34
+ inventions, methodologies, works and other innovations of any kind, authored, conceived, developed, made or reduced to practice
35
+ by the disclosing Party, whether or not eligible for copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other legal protection (including,
36
+ without limitation, formulas, processes, databases, mechanical and electronic hardware, electronic components, computers and their
37
+ parts, computer programs and their documentation, encoding techniques, marketing and new product plans, production, processes,
38
+ advertising, packaging and marketing techniques, marketing plans, product plans, technical plans, business strategies, strategic

43
+ of Confidential Information to the other Party, each Party agrees with respect to the Confidential Information received from the
44
+ other Party, that it:
45
+  
46
+
47
+ (a)shall maintain such Confidential Information in the strictest confidence;

53
+  
54
+
55
+  
56
+
57
+ (b)shall not disclose, transfer or otherwise make available any of such Confidential Information to
58
+ any third party, unless such Confidential Information must be disclosed for the purposes contemplated herein, or under legal compulsion
59
+ to disclose any such Confidential Information, in which event each Party shall, prior to such disclosure, obtain written consent
60
+ from the other Party and obtain from the third person a written agreement acknowledging the binding effect of these restrictions
61
+ regarding the Confidential Information; and
62
+  
63
+
64
+ (c)shall not directly, indirectly or in concert with any person, use the Confidential Information
65
+ for any purpose other than evaluating the prospective business relationship with the other Party in accordance with the introduction.
66
+ Each Party shall take reasonable
67
+ measures to protect the Confidential Information of the other Party.
68
+ Those measures shall not be less than the measures taken to
69
+ protect the receiving Party’s own confidential information.
70
+ Confidential Information of the other Party may be provided to
71
+ a Party’s employees only on a need-to-know basis, and prior to such provision, the Party will notify each employee to whom
72
+ such disclosure is made that such Confidential Information is received in confidence and shall be kept in confidence by such employee.
73
+ 3.Excluded Information: This Agreement shall not apply to any information:
74
+  
75
+
76
+ (a)that has been or which becomes publicly known, through no wrongful act of either Party;
77
+  
78
+
79
+ (b)which is required to be disclosed in order to comply with applicable law or regulation or with
80
+ any requirement imposed by judicial or administrative process or any governmental or court order.
81
+ 4.No Licenses or Warranties: Each Party’s Confidential Information and all rights thereto
82
+ shall remain such Party’s sole property.
83
+ Each Party recognizes that the disclosure of Confidential Information by the disclosing
84
+ Party shall not be construed as granting any rights, by license or otherwise, concerning any Confidential Information, except as
85
+ may be explicitly created by this Agreement.
86
+ Each Party acknowledges that the other Party’s Confidential Information includes
87
+ valuable trade secrets.
88
+ Neither Party has any obligation to disclose Confidential Information to the other Party.
89
+ NEITHER PARTY
90
+ MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO THE ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, CONDITION, FITNESS and MERCHANTABILITY, OR PERFORMANCE OF
91
+ ITS CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
92
+ 5.Remedies: If either Party causes a disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information
93
+ in breach of the terms of this Agreement, the disclosing Party shall immediately report in writing the disclosure to the other
94
+ Party and shall save, defend, indemnify and hold the non-disclosing Party harmless from and against any and all liability and damages
95
+ suffered by the non-disclosing Party arising therefrom.
96
+ In addition to the foregoing and without limitation thereof, the disclosing
97
+ Party shall cooperate in prosecuting any claims against third parties for unauthorized use of any Confidential Information.
98
+ Each
99
+ Party acknowledges that unauthorized disclosure, use or disposition, whether actual or threatened, of any Confidential Information
100
+ shall cause irreparable harm, loss of business and significant injury to the disclosing Party, the scope of which would be difficult
101
+ to ascertain.
102
+ Each Party agrees, therefore, that the disclosing Party has the right to obtain an immediate injunction against any
103
+ breach, threatened breach or attempted breach of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies that may be available at law,
104
+ including without limitation, the recovery of expenses, costs and attorney’s fees arising out of such breach, threatened
105
+ breach or attempted breach.
106
+ 6.Return of "Confidential Information": All Confidential Information shall be returned
107
+ to the disclosing Parties promptly upon written request or, at the election of the disclosing Party, the Party that received the
108
+ Confidential Information shall certify said information has been destroyed and is no longer useable in any format.

75
+ Inventions.
76
+ I agree that I will promptly disclose to the Company any and all
77
+ such Inventions, and that, upon request of the Company, I will execute and
78
+ deliver any and all documents or instruments and take any other action which the
79
+ Company shall deem necessary to assign to and vest completely in the Company, to
80
+ perfect trademark, copyright and patent protection with respect to, or to
81
+ otherwise protect the Company's trade secrets and proprietary interest in such
82

102
+ Company.
103
+ I will return to the Company all such materials and property as and

109
+ such termination.
110
+ 4.
111
+ NON-COMPETITION COVENANT.
112
+ While I am employed by the Company and for
113
+ a period of two (2) years after the termination or cessation of such employment
114
+ for any reason, I shall not, without the Company's prior written consent,
115
+ directly or indirectly, alone or as a partner, joint venturer, officer,
116
+ director, employee, consultant, agent, independent contractor or stockholder of
117
+ any company or business, engage in any business activity which is or may
118
+ reasonably be construed to be competitive with the "PathNet Business."
119
+ For
120
+ purposes of this Agreement, the "PathNet Business" shall mean the business of
121
+ installing, constructing, aggregating and linking digital capacity and marketing
122
+ and selling the bulk

+
124
+
125
+ 2
126

127
+
128
+ telecommunications capacity and services created by such systems.
129
+ My ownership
130
+ of not more than one(1%) percent of the shares of any class of stock of any
131
+ corporation which is actively traded on a national securities exchange or on
132
+ NASDAQ shall not be deemed, in and of itself, to violate the prohibitions of
133
+ this paragraph.
134
+ I understand that the restrictions set forth in this Section
135
+ are intended to protect the Company's valid business interests and agree that
136
+ such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose.
137
+ 5.
138
+ NON-SOLICITATION.
139
+ During my employment with the Company and for a
140
+ period two (2) years thereafter, I will not encourage any employee of the
141
+ Company to terminate their employment with the Company, nor solicit nor hire any
142
+ employee of the Company for employment by any corporation or any other
143
+ commercial enterprise other than the Company, unless first approached in writing
144
+ by the Company employee.
145
+ I understand that the restrictions set forth in this
146
+ Section are intended to protect the Company's valid business interests and agree
147
+ that such restrictions are reasonable and appropriate for this purpose.
148
+ 6.
149
+ RESTRICTIONS ON CORPORATE OPPORTUNITIES.
150
+ During my employment with
151
+ the Company and for a period of two (2) years thereafter, I will not pursue,
152
+ engage in or have an interest in other business ventures or opportunities which
153
+ are or may reasonably be construed to be competitive with the "PathNet
154
+ Business."
155
+ In addition, I will be obligated to present any telecommunications
156
+ business or investment opportunity arising out of the Company's operations to
157
+ the Company, and the Company shall have the exclusive right to pursue such
158
+ business or investment opportunity.
159
+ 7.
160
+ ABSENCE OF CONFLICTING AGREEMENTS.
161
+ I understand the Company does not
162
+ desire to acquire from me any trade secrets, know-how or confidential business
163
+ information that I may have acquired from others.
164
+ I represent that I am not
165
+ bound by any agreement or any other existing or previous business relationship
166
+ which conflicts with or prevents the full performance of my duties and
167
+ obligations to the Company under this Agreement or otherwise during the course
168
+ of my employment.
169
+ 8.
170
+ NO EMPLOYMENT OBLIGATION.
171
+ Other than the provisions of Section 9
172
+ hereof, I understand that this Agreement does not create an obligation on the
173
+ part of the Company to continue my employment with the Company.
174
+ I am employed
175
+ as an employee "at will".
176
+ 9.
177
+ SEVERANCE.
178
+ If I am terminated for any reason, in consideration for
179
+ the Non-competition covenant and the other covenants and agreements set forth in
180
+ the Agreement, I will receive a salary of $275,000 per annum for one year after
181
+ such termination payable in bi-weekly installments in accordance with the
182
+ Company's payroll procedures.
183
+ 10.
184
+ REMEDIES UPON BREACH.
185
+ I agree that it would be difficult to measure
186
+ any damages caused to the Company which might result from any breach by me of
187
+ the promises set forth in this Agreement, and that, in any event, money damages
188
+ would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach.
189
+ Accordingly, I agree that if
190
+ I breach or propose to breach any portion of this Agreement, the Company shall
191
+ be entitled, in addition to all other remedies
192
+
193
+
194
+ 3
195
+ <PAGE>
196
+
197
+ that it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to
198
+ restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage to the
199
+ Company.
200
+ 11.
201
+ BINDING EFFECT.
202
+ This Agreement will be binding upon me and my heirs,
203
+ executors, administrators and legal representatives and will inure to the
204
+ benefit of the Company, any subsidiary of the Company, and its and their
205
+ respective successors and assigns.
206
+ My obligations under this Agreement shall
207
+ survive the termination of my relationship with the Company regardless of the
208
+ manner of such termination.
209
+ 12.
210
+ ENFORCEABILITY.
211
+ If any portion or provision of this Agreement is to
212
+ any extent declared illegal or unenforceable by a court of competent
213
+ jurisdiction, then the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such
214
+ portion or provision in circumstances other than those as to which it is so
215
+ declared illegal or unenforceable will not be affected thereby, and each portion
216
+ and provision of this Agreement shall be valid and enforceable to the fullest
217
+ extent permitted by law.
218
+ In the event that any provision of this Agreement is
219
+ determined by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason
220
+ of excessive scope as to geographic, temporal or functional coverage, such
221
+ provision will be deemed to extend only over the maximum geographic, temporal
222
+ and functional scope as to which it may be enforceable.
223
+ 13.
224
+ ENTIRE AGREEMENT.
225
+ This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
226
+ between the Company and myself with respect to the subject matter hereof, and
227
+ supersedes all prior representations and agreements with respect to such subject
228
+ matter.
229
+ This Agreement may not be amended, modified or waived except by a
230
+ written instrument duly executed by the person against whom enforcement of such
231
+ amendment, modification or waiver is sought.
232
+ The failure of any party to
233
+ require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement or the
234
+ waiver by any party of any breach of this Agreement in any particular case will
235
+ not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or to be
236
+ deemed a waiver of any separate or subsequent breach.
237
+ 14.
238
+ THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES.
239
+ This Agreement is being entered into at
240
+ the request of the Investors and such Investors are intended to be third-party
241
+ beneficiaries hereunder with full power to enforce the terms hereof.
242
+ 15.
243
+ NOTICES.
244
+ Any notices, requests, demands and other communications
245
+ provided for by this Agreement will be sufficient if in writing and delivered in
246
+ person, or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, to me at the
247
+ last address which I have filed in writing with the Company or, in the case of
248
+ any notice to the Company, at its main offices to the attention of its Chief
249
+ Executive Officer.
250
+ 16.
251
+ GOVERNING LAW.
252
+ This Agreement shall be construed under and be
253
+ governed in all respects by the laws of the District of Columbia.
