Although a Releasor may file a charge with state or federal agencies, from and after the Effective Time the Releasors agree not to seek or accept any money damages or other relief upon the filing of any such administrative charges or complaints, or in judicial proceedings arising therefrom. If any court, administrative agency or other forum assumes jurisdiction over any Released Claim against any Releasee from and after the Effective Time, then the Releasors will, and will cause the Releasors’ Affiliates to, promptly direct such court, agency or forum to withdraw from or dismiss the Released Claim with prejudice. If any Releasor or any of such Releasor’s Affiliates violates this Agreement by suing a Releasee for any Released Claim, then such Releasor will pay all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs) incurred by the Releasee in defending against such suit from and after the Effective Time.

signing this Agreement relating to such Seller’s role as an officer, director or stockholder of the Company prior to the Closing other than any claims permitted by or arising out of the Merger Agreement, this Agreement or any other Transaction Document, including, without limitation, any claims for fraud.
6. Non-Disclosure; Confidential Information.
(a) Except with respect to asserting any rights under the Merger Agreement or any other Transaction Document, no Seller shall use or disclose the Confidential Information for any purpose other than the Surviving Corporation’s business, except as authorized in writing by the Surviving Corporation and except as may be required by applicable Law; provided, however, that a Seller who is a private equity firm may disclose the Confidential Information to its partners but solely to the extent that such Confidential Information is reasonably required to be disclosed pursuant to its organizational documents or to the extent reasonably necessary to provide information to its limited partners about the rate of return of its portfolio investments..
(b) “Confidential Information” means (a) information of the Company or any Subsidiary that (i) relates to the business of the Company or any Subsidiary, (ii) possesses an element of value to the Company or any Subsidiary, and (iii) is not generally known to the Company or any Subsidiary’s competitors, and (b) information of any third party provided to the Company or any Subsidiary which the Company or any Subsidiary is obligated to treat as confidential. Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to: (i) business plans, (ii) information regarding independent contractors, employees, suppliers, customers or any third party, (iii) the Company or any Subsidiary’s financial information, and (iv) information regarding the Company or any Subsidiary’s operations methods, procedures, techniques, programs, systems, processes and trade secrets. Confidential Information shall not include any information that (A) was, is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a breach of any agreement by the respective Seller or any representative of such Seller, (B) has been independently developed and disclosed by such Seller or any other Person without access to the Confidential Information, (C) otherwise enters the public domain through lawful means, (D) becomes available to such Seller after the date hereof on a non-confidential basis from a third party not bound by a confidentiality agreement or a legal or fiduciary obligation restricting disclosure or (E) is required by Law or Order to be disclosed in connection with any Suit; provided, however, if required by Law or Order to disclose any Confidential Information, such Seller will provide Buyer prior written notice of such requested disclosure (x) within five (5) days of its receipt of any demand for disclosure pursuant to such Law or Order, and (y) at least ten (10) days prior to the date such disclosure is required to be made.
(c) The obligations of this Section 6 shall remain in effect for a two (2) year period commencing on Closing Date.
(d) The confidential, property and proprietary rights and protections available in this Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any and all other rights to which the Company or any Subsidiary is entitled under Law, including, but not limited to, rights provided under copyright laws, trade secret and confidential information laws and laws concerning fiduciary duties.
(e) Except for such activities, as applicable, performed on behalf of, and solely for the benefit of, the Surviving Corporation or its subsidiaries in such Seller’s capacity as an officer, director, employee or other agent of the Surviving Corporation or its subsidiaries, following the Effective Time, following the Effective Time, each Seller will, to the extent reasonably practicable, return to the Company or destroy all materials furnished by the Company or any Subsidiaries to such Seller containing Confidential Information, together with all copies and summaries of Confidential Information in the possession or under the control of such Seller. In addition, each Seller will return all property in the possession or under the control of such Seller belonging to the Company or any Subsidiary, including all files, lists, memoranda, research, plans, records, drawings, forms, materials, keys, access devices and codes, computers, software, computer files, mobile phones and other devices or equipment, and credit cards whether or not they contain Confidential Information. Seller acknowledges that all such documents and equipment, whether supplied by Company or any Subsidiary, or created by Seller, are and remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company and the Subsidiaries. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sellers shall have access to all such information for purposes of pursuing or defending any indemnification or other claims under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Document.
7. Non-Solicitation.
(a) Except while acting on behalf of the Surviving Corporation or its subsidiaries in its capacity as an officer, director, employee or other agent of such Person, each Seller agrees that, for a one (1) year period commencing on Closing Date, such Seller shall not solicit, seek to hire or hire, whether as an employee, agent, independent contractor, manager, partner, venturer or otherwise, any of the retained employees set forth on Exhibit D (each, a “Restricted Employee”), unless Buyer or the Surviving Corporation gives its written consent to such employment or offer of employment; provided, however, that the provisions of this subsection (a) shall not apply to the solicitation or hiring of (i) any Restricted Employee after the expiration of one hundred and eighty (180) days from the time such Restricted Employee ceases to be employed by the Company or (ii) any Restricted Employee who responds to a general solicitation that is a public solicitation of prospective employees and not directed specifically to employees of the Company or any Subsidiary.
(b) Each Seller acknowledges that (a) the provisions of this Section 7 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and the Surviving Corporation, and (b) any violation of this Section 7 will result in irreparable injury to Buyer, the exact amount of which will be difficult to ascertain, and the remedies at law for any such violation would not be reasonable or adequate compensation to Buyer for such a violation. Accordingly, each Seller agrees that if it violates the provisions of this Section 7, in addition to any other remedy which may be available at law or in equity, Buyer shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive relief in any action instituted in any court of competent jurisdiction, without posting bond or other security, and without the necessity of proving actual damages.
8. Injunctive Relief; Specific Performance. Sellers acknowledge that each party's obligations under this Agreement are unique. If any party should breach its covenants under this Agreement, then each party acknowledges that it may be extremely impracticable to measure the resulting damages. Thus, each party agrees that a breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable
damage to the other parties and that the other parties will not have an adequate remedy at Law. Accordingly, the obligations of the parties, including the obligations to comply with any restrictions of a Seller, release any Releasee, safeguard Confidential Information and/or consent to and adopt the Merger and the Transactions, shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Additionally, each party expressly waives the defense that a remedy in damages would be adequate. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies that any Party may have under this Agreement or otherwise. No party shall be obligated to post any bond in order to seek such injunctive relief.
9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. A signed copy of this Agreement delivered by facsimile, e-mail in portable document format, or other means of electronic transmission shall be deemed to have the same legal effect as delivery of an original signed copy of this Agreement.
10. Severability. Any term or provision of this Agreement that is invalid or unenforceable in any situation in any jurisdiction shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision in any other situation or in any other jurisdiction.
11. Enforceability. Upon execution of this Agreement by any Seller or Sellers, the validity of this Agreement with respect to such Seller or Sellers and any waiver, consent or amendment made by such Seller or Sellers hereunder shall be unaffected by the failure of any one or more other Sellers to execute this Agreement or such waiver, consent or amendment.
12. Governing Law.
(a) This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of Delaware, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Law thereof. Each Party and each Seller irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Delaware Chancery Court for the purposes of any Suit arising out of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, any of the other Ancillary Documents or any of the Transactions. Each party agrees to commence any Suit relating there in the Delaware Chancery Court. Each party further agrees that service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such party’s respective address set forth underneath their signature on the signature page attached hereto shall be effective service of process. Each party irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement, the Merger Agreement, the other Ancillary Documents and the Transactions in the Delaware Chancery Court, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and shall not assert by way of motion, defense, or otherwise, in any such Suit, any claim that it is not subject personally to the jurisdiction of the above named courts, that its property is exempt or immune from attachment or execution, that the Suit is brought in an inconvenient forum, that the venue of the Suit is improper, or that this Agreement or any other Ancillary Document or the Merger may not be enforced in or by any of the above named courts.
(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY THAT MAY ARISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES AND, THEREFORE, EACH SUCH PARTY AND EACH SUCH SELLER IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LEGAL ACTION ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE MERGER AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS. EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT SEEK TO ENFORCE THE FOREGOING WAIVER IN THE EVENT OF A LEGAL ACTION, (ii) SUCH PARTY HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF THIS WAIVER, (iii) SUCH PARTY MAKES THIS WAIVER VOLUNTARILY, AND (iv) SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 12(b). EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY WARRANTS AND REPRESENTS THAT NO PROMISE OR AGREEMENT WHICH IS NOT HEREIN EXPRESSED HAS BEEN MADE TO IT IN AGREEING TO WAIVE JURY TRIAL.
13. Confidentiality. Except for disclosures to professional advisors in such capacity and equity holders of any Seller (each of whom will be subject to the same duties as the Sellers set forth in this paragraph) and in circumstances related to pursuing or defending an indemnification or other claim under the Merger Agreement or any Ancillary Document or as required by applicable Law or Order, each of the Sellers hereby agrees to hold in confidence the Merger Agreement, this Agreement, all of the terms thereof and all of the transactions contemplated thereby and hereby until such time as the material terms thereof and hereof are publicly disclosed by the Company and thereafter with respect to such terms that are not publicly disclosed.
14. Public Announcements. Each Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its representatives to, issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld).
15. Amendment and Modification. This Agreement may only be amended with the consent of all of the following parties: (i) Buyer, (ii) the Seller Representative and (iii) Sellers holding at least a majority of the shares of Company Capital Stock outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, together with any shares of Company Capital Stock issuable upon the exercise or conversion of any Company Option that is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time.
16. No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as provided in Section 2, this Agreement is for the sole benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
