pursuant to Section 3.3) shall be reduced on a dollar-for-dollar basis in an amount equal to the
amount by which the “Net Cash Owed to Buyer” exceeds $85,000.

ARTICLE 6. ADDITIONAL AGREEMENTS AND COVENANTS
6.1 Confidentiality and Non-Competition.
(a) Without the prior written consent of Buyer, Seller and Parent shall not (i)
disclose to any person, association, firm, corporation or other entity (other than Buyer or
its subsidiary) in any manner, directly or indirectly, any confidential information or data
relevant to the Assets or the operation of the Business, whether of a technical or
commercial nature, or (ii) use or assist, by acquiescence or otherwise, any person,
association, firm, corporation or other entity to use, directly or indirectly, any
confidential information in any manner which reasonably would be deemed to be competitive
with the operation of the Business after the Closing. Seller and Parent shall take
commercially reasonable precautions to keep such information confidential. Seller
and Parent shall maintain the confidentiality of all discussions and negotiations
regarding Buyer’s acquisition of the Assets.
18
(b) Neither Seller nor Parent shall disseminate any non-public information in any
press release or other announcement concerning the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement, the terms and conditions hereunder, or the parties hereto, except as otherwise
required by any applicable law (including, without limitation, applicable disclosure
requirements under federal securities laws), court order or stock exchange rules, in which
case Seller and Parent shall consult in good faith with Buyer concerning the contents of
such disclosure prior to making such disclosure.
(c) Commencing at the Closing and continuing thereafter for a period of three (3)
years, each of Parent and Seller agrees that it will not engage, directly or indirectly,
whether on its own account or as a shareholder, partner, joint venturer, consultant,
advisor and/or agent, of any person, firm, corporation or other entity, in any or all of
the following activities anywhere in the world:
(i) Enter into or engage, directly or indirectly, in the Business;

to leave, for any reason, the employment of Buyer or any subsidiary of Buyer; or
(iv) Promote or assist, financially or otherwise, any person, firm,
association, corporation or other entity to engage in the Business.
(d) The parties agree that due to the unique nature of the services and capabilities
of Seller, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of the obligations of
Seller under Section 6.1(c), that any such breach may allow Seller to unfairly compete with
Buyer (or its subsidiaries) resulting in irreparable harm to Buyer and therefore, that upon
any such breach or threat thereof, Buyer shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief
in addition to the remedies it may have at law.
(e) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, in the event of any dispute
regarding the interpretation, scope, breach, enforceability or enforcement of Seller’s
and/or Parent’s obligations under Section 6.1(c), the prevailing party shall be entitled to
obtain from the non-prevailing party reimbursement of attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses,
including attorneys’ fees on appeal, and costs and expenses of mediation, arbitration or
suit.
(f) Each of Seller and Parent acknowledges, represents and warrants to Buyer that the
covenants in Section 6.1(c) are agreed to in connection with and in consideration of the
completion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and are reasonably necessary
for the protection of Buyer’s interests under this Agreement and are not unduly restrictive
upon Seller or Parent.
(g) Buyer shall notify Seller and/or Parent of any breach or alleged breach by Seller
and/or Parent of Section 6.1(c) and, as soon as possible but no later
19
than twenty (20) days
after the date of receipt of such notice by Seller and/or Parent, Seller and/or Parent
shall cure such breach or alleged breach. Failure to cure such breach or alleged breach to
Buyer’s reasonable satisfaction within such time period shall constitute a breach under
this Agreement and Buyer shall be entitled to exercise any of its available rights and
remedies.
6.2 Third-Party Consents. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as an attempt
by Seller to assign any Contract to the extent that such Contract is not assignable without the
necessary notice to or consent, authorization or approval of the other party or parties thereto.
Notwithstanding the absence of one or more consents to the assignment of a Contract, at such time
as consent has been obtained, or any requisite filing or notice has been made or delivered, as
applicable, the related Contract shall be assigned or transferred to Buyer automatically without
any other conveyance or other action by Buyer. Pending receipt or in the absence of any such
consent, authorization or approval, Seller will hold the benefit of that Contract for Buyer and
subcontract to Buyer all rights and obligations of Seller thereunder, to the extent allowed by such
Contract, in order that Buyer may perform all obligations and enjoy all rights of Seller thereunder
on the same terms and conditions as currently exist in such Contract. As between Seller and Buyer,
Buyer will be deemed to have fully assumed Seller’s performance obligations for any such Contract
in accordance with the Contracts Assignment Agreement.

Indemnified Persons (as defined in Section 8.2 below) for any and all Damages (as defined in
Section 8.2 below) Buyer, its subsidiary or the Buyer Indemnified Persons may incur as a result of
claims brought by any of the Transferred Employees or independent contractors against Buyer, its
subsidiary or the Buyer Indemnified Persons relating to such termination. The parties acknowledge
and agree that in the event any of Seller’s employees and independent contractors become employees
or independent contractors with Buyer, the indemnification obligation of Seller described in this
Section 6.3 shall not apply to Buyer’s subsequent termination of the employment or other
arrangements with Buyer.
(d) Seller will not induce or otherwise attempt to influence any Employee against accepting
his or her offer of employment from Buyer; however, Seller does not guarantee
20
that any of the
Employees will accept Buyer’s offer of employment or become employed by Buyer after the Closing.
(d) From and after the Closing Date, Seller hereby waives any non-competition obligations or
any other restriction on the activities of any Transferred Employee that arise pursuant to any

receiving party may make reasonable objections to any Claim in writing, including the amount of the
Claim and/or the reason for the Claim to the party making the Claim. In the event no objection is

maximum obligation of Sellers to provide indemnification for Buyer Damages pursuant to Section 8.2
shall not exceed an amount (the “Cap Amount”), in the aggregate, equal to the sum of (x)
the Cash Payment plus (y) the aggregate principal amount of the Promissory Note.
(b) Buyer shall have no obligation to provide indemnification for Seller Damages pursuant to
Section 8.3(a) except to the extent that the aggregate amount of such Seller Damages exceeds the
Basket Amount. The maximum obligation of Buyer to provide indemnification for Seller Damages

8.8 Third-Party Claims. In the event Buyer or Seller becomes aware of a third-party
claim which such party believes may result in a Claim to indemnification hereunder, such party
shall notify the other party of such Claim, and the indemnifying party shall be entitled to conduct
and control the defense of such Claim. The indemnified party may, at its expense, participate in
the defense of such claim. The indemnifying party shall have the right in its sole discretion to
settle any such Claim; provided, however, that if the indemnifying party effects the settlement of
