authorized representatives the opportunity to conduct and complete a due
diligence investigation of the other party as described herein. In light
of the foregoing, each party shall permit the other party full access on
reasonable notice and at reasonable hours to its properties and shall disclose
and make available (together with the right to copy) to the other party and its
officers, employees, attorneys, accountants and other representatives
(hereinafter collectively referred to as “Representatives”), all books, papers, and records
relating to the assets, stock, properties, operations, obligations and

authority, accountants’ work papers, litigation files (including, without
limitation, legal research memoranda), attorney’s audit response letters,
documents relating to assets and title thereto (including, without limitation,

title and other information relating to the real and personal property), plans
affecting employees, securities transfer records and stockholder lists, and any
books, papers and records (collectively referred to herein as “Evaluated
Material”) relating to
other assets or business activities in which such party may have a reasonable
interest, and otherwise provide such assistance as is reasonably requested in
order that each party may have a full opportunity to make such investigation and
evaluation as it shall reasonably desire to make of the business and affairs of
the other party; provided, however, that the foregoing rights granted to each
party shall, whether or not and regardless of the extent to which the same are
exercised, in no way affect the nature or scope of the representations,
warranties and covenants of the respective party set forth herein. In
addition, each party and its Representatives shall cooperate fully (including
providing introductions, where necessary) with such other party to enable the
party to contact third parties, including customers, prospective customers,
specified agencies or others as the party deems reasonably necessary to complete
its due diligence; provided that such party agrees not to initiate such contacts
without the prior approval of the other party, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld.
(b)
Sustut and Optex agree that
each such party will not use the Evaluation Material for any purpose other than
in connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder. Each agrees
not to disclose or allow disclosure to others of any Evaluation Material, except
to such party’s Affiliates or Representatives, in each case, to the extent
necessary to permit such Affiliate or Representative to assist such party in
connection with the transactions contemplated hereunder. Each agrees that
it will, within ten (10) days of the other party’s request, re-deliver to such
party all copies of that party’s Evaluation Material in its possession or that
of its affiliates or Representatives if the Exchange contemplated by this
Agreement does not close as contemplated herein.
(c)
In the event any party or
anyone to whom Evaluation Material has been transmitted in accordance with the
terms herein is requested in connection with any proceeding to disclose any
Evaluation Material, such party will give the other party prompt notice of such
request so that the other party may seek an appropriate protective order or
other remedy or waive compliance with this Agreement, and such party will
cooperate with the other party to obtain such protective order. In the
event such protective order is not obtained, the other party waives compliance
with the relevant provisions of this Section, such party (or such person to whom
such request is directed) will furnish only that portion of the Evaluation
Material which is required to be disclosed.

Notwithstanding any of the
foregoing, if prior to Closing, for any reason, the transactions contemplated by
this Agreement are not consummated, neither Sustut nor Optex nor any of their
Representatives shall disclose to third parties or otherwise use any Evaluation
Material or other confidential information received from the other party in the
course of investigating, negotiating, and performing the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing shall be deemed
to be confidential information which:
(i)
is or becomes generally
available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by such party,
its affiliates or Representatives;
(ii)
was available to such party
on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure;
(iii)
becomes available to such
party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other party or
its agents, advisors or Representatives;

developed by such party
independently of any disclosure by the other party; or

is disclosed in compliance
with Section 6.01(c).
This provision shall not prohibit the
disclosure of information required to be made under federal or state securities
laws. If any disclosure is so required, the party making such disclosure
shall consult with the other party prior to making such disclosure, and the
parties shall use all reasonable efforts, acting in good faith, to agree upon a
text for such disclosure which is satisfactory to both
parties.
6.02
Sustut and Optex each agree
that money damages would not be sufficient to remedy any breach by the other
party of this Section, and that, in addition to all other remedies, each party
against which a breach of this Section has been committed shall be entitled
to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy of
such breach.
