public domain through lawful means. Proprietary Information may be marked by

(f) "Territory"" means the areas listed on Schedule 2
attached hereto, which the parties acknowledge to be the geographic area in

2. COVENANTS OF HSA-TEXAS AND SHAREHOLDERS. HSA-Texas and each of
the Shareholders acknowledges that PRGX would suffer substantial damage if
PRGX's relations with the HSA-Texas Accounts deteriorated or if PRGX lost the
HSA-Texas Accounts after the closing of the Acquisition Agreement. The covenants
in this Section 2 are a material inducement to PRGX to enter into the
Acquisition Agreement, and the amounts payable to HSA-TEXAS under the
Acquisition Agreement are in past consideration for the covenants in this
Section 2. The parties hereto acknowledge that the assets being purchased by
PRGX are the core assets of the HSA-Texas Business, that the HSA-Texas Business
is of a limited and unusual nature and that the scope of the HSA-Texas Business
is sufficiently broad so that these restrictions shall apply throughout the
Territory, and HSA-Texas and each of the Shareholders agrees that the Territory
is reasonable under the circumstances. The parties hereto further acknowledge
that each of the Shareholders has been entrusted with knowledge and possession
of Proprietary Information as a result of being a shareholder of HSA-Texas and
the Affiliates and that by virtue of the Shareholders' ownership of HSA-Texas
and the Affiliates and the knowledge of the HSA-Texas Business, PRGX would be
deprived of the value of the core assets acquired by PRGX under the Acquisition
Agreement if any of the Shareholders or HSA-TEXAS would breach the covenants
contained herein. The parties hereto also acknowledge and agree that (i) the
types and periods of restriction imposed in this Section 2 are fair and
reasonable and are reasonably required in order to protect and maintain the
Proprietary Information and the other proprietary interests of PRGX, other
legitimate business interests of PRGX, and goodwill associated with the business
of PRGX, including the HSA-TEXAS Business (including the HSA-TEXAS Accounts)
acquired under the Acquisition Agreement, and (ii) the time, scope, geographic
area, and other provisions of this Section 2 have
-3-
been specifically negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties, represented by
legal counsel, and are integral parts of the transactions contemplated by the
Acquisition Agreement. Therefore, HSA-Texas and each of the Shareholders agrees
to the following covenants and agreements:
(a) HSA-Texas and each of the Shareholders covenants that
it/he shall not, for a period of five (5) years from and after the Effective
Date, except on behalf of PRGX, directly or indirectly, within the Territory (i)
provide or perform services which are in competition with the HSA-Texas
Business, either on its own behalf or on behalf of any other Person, whether as
a shareholder, owner, partner, proprietor, agent, consultant, independent
contractor or lender of a Competing Business or otherwise, or (ii) have a
financial interest in or be in any way connected with or affiliated with any
Competing Business. Nothing contained herein shall preclude HSA-Texas or any of
the Shareholders from owning any shares of PRGX Common Stock or having a passive
investment in less than one percent (1%) of the outstanding capital stock of any
other publicly traded company that is, or is connected with or affiliated with,
a Competing Business.
(b) For a period of five (5) years from and after the
Effective Date, HSA-Texas and each of the Shareholders shall hold in trust and
in the strictest confidence and shall not disclose to anyone other than PRGX, or
use, reproduce, distribute, disclose or otherwise disseminate to or for anyone
other than PRGX, any Proprietary Information or any physical embodiments thereof
utilized by HSA-Texas or any Affiliate in the HSA-Texas Business at any time
prior to the acquisition of assets of HSA-Texas by PRGX on the date hereof;
provided, with respect to any Proprietary Information utilized by HSA-Texas or
any Affiliate prior to the date hereof that constitutes a trade secret under
applicable law, HSA-Texas' and each Shareholder's obligation under this Section
2(b) shall remain in effect so long as such information retains its status as a
trade secret. In no event shall HSA-Texas or any Shareholder take any action
causing any Proprietary Information disclosed to or developed by HSA-Texas or
its Affiliates to lose its character or cease to qualify as Proprietary
Information. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this
Section 2(b) shall not limit in any manner the protection to PRGX with respect
to its purchase of HSA-Texas' trade secrets otherwise afforded by law.
(c) For a period of five (5) years from and after the
Effective Date, HSA-Texas and each Shareholder covenants and agrees that it/he
will not, except with the prior written consent of PRGX signed by its President,
directly or indirectly, solicit or call upon any of the HSA-Texas Accounts,
former clients of HSA-Texas to which services have been provided by HSA-Texas
within the last two (2) years prior to the Effective Date or any Prospective
Client of HSA-Texas (or any employee or independent contractor of any such
client or Prospective Client) for purposes of selling or providing any product,
equipment or service, which is competitive with any product, equipment or
service sold, leased, offered for sale or lease or under development by
HSA-Texas during the twenty-four (24) month period immediately preceding the
Effective Date. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, this
Section 2(c) shall not limit HSA-Texas or any Shareholder from soliciting the
HSA-Texas Accounts, former clients of HSA-Texas or any Prospective Client of
HSA-Texas (or any employee or independent contractor of any such client or
Prospective Client) to provide services which are not competitive with those
provided by the HSA-TEXAS Business as of the Effective Date.
(d) For a period of five (5) years from and after the
Effective Date, HSA-Texas and each of the Shareholders covenants and agrees that
it/he will not, without the prior written consent of PRGX signed by its
President, directly or indirectly,
(i) hire, solicit, entice, persuade or induce,
or attempt to hire, solicit, entice, persuade or induce any Person who was
employed by, or performing services as an independent contractor or as an
employee of an independent contractor for, HSA-Texas or an Affiliate and is
subsequently hired or engaged by PRGX in connection with PRGX's acquisition of
the HSA-Texas Business pursuant to the
-4-
Acquisition Agreement, either to terminate such Person's employment with PRGX or
to cease performing such services for PRGX; or
(ii) authorize any Person to engage in or assist
any Person in any of the activities described in clause (i) of this subsection.
3. SEVERABILITY. In the event that one or more of the words,
phrases, sentences, clauses, sections, subdivisions or subsections contained
herein shall be held invalid, this Agreement shall be construed as if such
invalid portion had not been inserted, and if such invalidity shall be caused by
the length of any period of time, the number or location of Persons, the size of
any area, or the scope of the activities set forth in any part hereof, such
period of time, number or location of Persons, area, or scope, or any
combination thereof, shall be considered to be reduced to a period, number,
location, area or scope which would cure such invalidity and which will be
effective, binding and enforceable against HSA-Texas and the Shareholders.
4. REMEDIES. HSA-Texas and each Shareholder agrees that if it/he
breaches any provision of this Agreement, the damage to PRGX would be difficult
or impossible to ascertain, and money damages alone would not afford PRGX an
adequate remedy for any such breach. Therefore, if HSA-Texas or any Shareholder
is in breach of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that PRGX will be
entitled, in addition to any and all rights and remedies as would be provided by
law, to specific performance, injunctive, and other equitable relief (without
being required to post bond or security and without having to prove the
inadequacy of available remedies at law) to prevent or restrain a breach of this
Agreement or otherwise to specifically enforce the provisions of Section 2 of
this Agreement. The rights of PRGX to enforce the covenants in this Agreement
are in addition to, and not in lieu of, any and all rights PRGX may have at law
and in equity to protect its business interests. The existence of any claim,
demand, action or cause of action that either HSA-Texas or any Shareholder may
have against PRGX, whether predicated upon this Agreement or otherwise, shall
not constitute a defense to the enforcement by PRGX of any of the covenants
contained in Section 2 hereof.
5. RIGHTS ARE CUMULATIVE AND EFFECT OF WAIVER. The rights and
remedies of the parties to this Agreement are cumulative and not alternative.
Neither the failure to exercise nor any delay by any party in exercising any
right, power or privilege under this Agreement will operate as a waiver of such
right, power or privilege, and no single or partial exercise of any such right,
power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right,
power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To
the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, (a) no claim or right arising
out of this Agreement can be discharged by one party, in whole or in part, by a
waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the
other party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a party will be applicable
except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or
demand on one party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of such
party or of the right of the party giving such notice or demand to take further
action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement.
6. ENTIRE AGREEMENT; AMENDMENTS. This Agreement and the
Acquisition Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with
respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersede all prior written
and oral agreements and understandings between PRGX, on the one hand, and
HSA-Texas and the Shareholders, on the other, with respect to the subject matter
of this Agreement. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall be valid
or binding upon PRGX unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized
officer of PRGX, or upon HSA-Texas or any Shareholder unless made in writing and
signed by HSA-Texas or such Shareholder, as appropriate.
7. ASSIGNMENT. This Agreement may not be assigned by HSA-Texas or
the Shareholders, and any purported assignment shall be void and ineffective.
This Agreement may be assigned by PRGX to any Related Entity of PRGX without the
consent of HSA-Texas or the Shareholders and, in the event of a merger
-5-
consolidation, reorganization or similar transaction of PRGX with a Person where
such other Person is the surviving entity of such transaction, this Agreement
may be assigned by PRGX without the prior consent of, but with notice to, the
Shareholders. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure
to the benefit of PRGX, HSA-Texas, the Shareholders and their respective
successors and permitted assigns. As used herein, "Related Entity" of PRGX means
PRGX and all entities, whether now or hereafter existing, fifty-one percent
(51%) or more of the outstanding capital stock of which is owned by any
combination of PRGX and/or any Related Entity of the foregoing entities and
which are engaged in substantially the same business as the business of PRGX
regardless of the industry segment of its clients and/or which provide services
or employees to PRGX or any Related Entity in connection with the operations
thereof.

communications hereunder will be in writing and shall be deemed duly given if
