Employment Agreement) in confidence and to not discuss, communicate or transmit
to others, or make any unauthorized use of the Trade Secrets in any capacity,

in connection with the acquisition by Xxxxxx or his affiliate of any assets or
properties from any of the Debtors.
9.0 DEFAULT, REMEDIES
9.1 A default hereunder shall include any of the following:
(a) Any promise, covenant, representation or warranty by any
party hereto contained herein shall prove to be materially false, untrue or
incorrect when made, or shall contain a material omission, the absence of which
renders said representation, warranty, promise or covenant materially
misleading.
(b) Any party shall fail to timely and fully perform any of
its obligations, promises, representations, warranties or covenants set forth
herein. If the Committee defaults on its obligations under Exhibit C, such
default shall constitute a default hereunder by the Debtors.

unremedied for a period of ten (10) days after notice thereof has been provided
to the defaulting party and to the Committee, the non-defaulting party shall
have and may exercise all rights available to it at law or equity.
21
9.3 Because of the difficulty in ascertaining the damages which may be
suffered by the Debtors if Xxxxxx breaches the provisions of sections 8.2 or
8.3, Xxxxxx agrees that equitable relief, including a temporary or permanent
injunction, is proper to redress his actual or threatened breach of sections 8.2
or 8.3 of this Agreement.
9.4 In any action to enforce the provisions of this Agreement, the
prevailing party shall be entitled to recover from the defaulting party the
prevailing party's actual costs of enforcement of this Agreement, including

Committee), then either the Debtors, Xxxxxx or the Committee shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement (and the letter agreement substantially in the
form of Exhibit C) which termination shall occur automatically upon the giving
of notice of such termination to the other parties in accordance with the notice
provisions hereof. A party that is in default shall not be entitled to elect to

federal courts of Delaware shall have jurisdiction to enforce this Agreement.

resolved against either party; further, any controversy over the construction of

the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, administrators,
