such incapacity will exist or can reasonably be expected to exist for a period
of ninety days or more) of Employee. In either such event, Employee or his
2

of this Agreement (the "Applicable Period"), Employee will not, directly or
indirectly, in any individual or representative capacity whatsoever, make any
statement, oral or written, or perform any act or omission which is or could be
detrimental in any material respect to the goodwill of Company, provided that
any truthful statement made by Employee in good faith shall not violate this
subparagraph.
5.2 Covenant of Confidentiality. The Employee recognizes and
acknowledges that he will be provided access to confidential information and
trade secrets of the Company, and other entities doing business with the Company
relating to research, development, manufacturing, marketing, financial and other
business-related activities or may discover, conceive, perfect or develop,
solely or jointly with others, inventions, discoveries, improvements, know-how,
computer programs, or other technical, manufacturing, marketing, customer,
and/or financial data and information, including without limitation, access to
information regarding the upgrading of current Company products and the
development of new products (hereinafter "CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION"). Such
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION constitutes valuable, special, and unique property of
the Company, and/or other entities doing business with the Company. In
consideration of such access to Confidential Information, Employee will not,
during or after the term of his employment by the Company, make any use of, or
disclose any of such CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to any person or firm,
corporation, association, or other entity for any reason or purpose whatsoever,
except as is generally available to the public or as specifically allowed in
writing by an authorized representative of the Company.
5.3 No Use of Confidential Information of Others. The Employee agrees
not to make use of or disclose any confidential information, including trade
secrets, of prior employers in carrying out Employee's duties for Company.
5.4 Return of Confidential Information. Upon the expiration of the
term or termination of this Agreement, Employee will surrender to Company all
tangible Confidential Information in the possession of, or under the control of,

media, material and records of any kind, and all copies thereof pertaining to
Confidential Information acquired or developed by the Employee during the term
of Employee's employment. Employee further agrees that upon termination of
4
Employee's employment, for any reason, and at the request of the Company,
Employee shall make himself available and shall meet with representatives of the
Company. At such meeting, Employee shall fully disclose and deliver any of the
above described materials in Employee's possession and, at the Company's
request, shall execute any and all documents reasonably necessary to ensure and
verify compliance with this paragraph 5.
5.5 Covenant Not to Compete. As an ancillary covenant to the terms and
conditions set forth elsewhere in this Agreement, and in particular the
covenants set forth in paragraph 5.2, paragraph 5.3, and paragraph 5.4 above,
and in consideration of the mutual promises set forth in this Agreement and
other good and valuable consideration received and to be received, Employee
agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, and throughout the Applicable
Period, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, own or become employed by or
otherwise provide consulting services to, any business engaged or planning to
become engaged in the business of providing or marketing ANSI/ASCII character
terminals; thin client devices including network computers; Windows based
terminals; thin clients; Internet terminals; CITRIX based remote clients;
clients utilizing the ICA protocol; or X terminals in the United States of
America, Europe, Asia, Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, and India, or any business
competitive with Company prior to the date of termination of this Agreement in
the United States of America, Europe, Asia, Mexico, Brazil, Venezuela, or India.
Employee understands that the current business activities of Company and its
Affiliates include the business of providing or marketing computer based systems

Venezuela, and India, and that Company and its Affiliates have plans to expand
the scope of such activities and the geographic area of operations of Company
and its Affiliates in the near future with the direct involvement of Employee,
therefore, Employee agrees that the limitations as to time, geographical area,
and scope of activity contained in this covenant do not impose a greater
restraint than is necessary to protect the goodwill and other business interests
of Company, and are therefore reasonable. If any provision of this covenant is
found to be invalid in part or in whole, Company may elect, but shall not be
required, to have such provision reformed, whether as to time, area covered, or
otherwise, as and to the extent required for its validity under applicable law
and, as so reformed, such provision shall be enforceable.
5.6 Right to Injunctive Relief. Employee acknowledges that a violation
or attempted violation on his part of any agreement in this paragraph 5 will
cause irreparable damage to Company and its Affiliates, and accordingly Employee
agrees that Company shall be entitled as a manner of right to an injunction, out
of any court of competent jurisdiction, restraining any violation or further
violation of such agreements by Employee; such right to an injunction, however,
shall be cumulative and in addition to whatever other remedies Company may have.
Furthermore, Employee shall be entitled to seek a declaratory judgment regarding
any conduct or enterprise to determine whether or not such conduct or violation
is violative of the terms of this Agreement; provided however, that no suit
shall be filed until Employee has given Company at least 15 days to respond to
Employee's written request for permission to undertake certain requested acts.
The terms and agreements set forth in this paragraph 5 shall survive the
expiration of the term or termination of this Agreement for any reason. The
existence of any claim of Employee, whether predicated on this Agreement or
otherwise shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement by Company of the
agreements contained in this paragraph 5.

of his employment he may, either individually or jointly with others, and either
