This Non-Disclosure Agreement (the "Agreement") is executed as of
October 15, 1996, by and between ErgoBilt, Inc., a Texas corporation
("Company"), and/or BodyBilt Seating, Inc., a Texas corporation ("Subsidiary"),
and the undersigned (the "Undersigned") with respect to the following facts.
A. Company and Subsidiary (collectively, the "ErgoBilt
Companies") are engaged in the business of designing, manufacturing, marketing,
and selling ergonomically correct chairs.
B. The ErgoBilt Companies may from time to time disclose to the
Undersigned certain confidential proprietary information that has been
developed by the ErgoBilt Companies and/or their affiliates. Confidential
Information may also be disclosed to the Undersigned inadvertently or
unlawfully by third parties. Such confidential information represents a unique
valuable asset of the ErgoBilt Companies.
Now, therefore, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants
contained herein, and for such other valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as follows:
(i) Confidential Information. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" shall mean trade
secrets, product and other research and development activities,
inventions, and any other knowledge, data or information that the
ErgoBilt Companies treat as proprietary, whether or not such
Confidential Information is patentable or copyrightable, however it is
embodied and irrespective of whether it is labeled as "proprietary" or
"confidential" and whether or not it was developed by the Undersigned.
By way of illustration but not limitation, Confidential Information
includes (a) know-how, ideas, improvements, discoveries, developments,
processes, existing and future product design and performance
specifications, techniques, formulas, algorithms, product
architectures, source and object codes, data, data compilations and

Companies' marketing, sales, research and development and new product
plans, ErgoBilt Companies' business plans, budgets, and unpublished
financial statements, ErgoBilt Companies' licenses, suppliers and
customers, and information regarding the skills and compensation of
ErgoBilt Companies' officers and employees.
(ii) Non-Disclosure. The Undersigned recognizes that the
Undersigned shall have no right whatsoever to use, exploit, or
disclose the Confidential Information for any other purpose, or to
disclose it to any other employee of the ErgoBilt Companies other than
on a "need to know" basis, to disclose it to any third party without
the written consent of the ErgoBilt Companies, which consent may be
withheld in the ErgoBilt Companies'
10
11
sole discretion and which consent, when given, may require the third
party to execute a Non-Disclosure Agreement in a form satisfactory to
the ErgoBilt Companies.
(iii) Protection Policies and Procedures. The Undersigned
shall strictly comply with any and all policies and procedures adopted
by the ErgoBilt Companies so as to protect the Confidential
Information. Such policies and procedures may include, without
limitation: marking all written materials "Confidential Information
of (Name of Specific ErgoBilt Company)" and/or with such other legends
necessary or appropriate to identify the materials as the ErgoBilt
Companies' Confidential Information; limiting access to and/or
dissemination of the Confidential Information to those persons who
have a "need to know" the Confidential Information to enable such
persons to perform their duties consistent with the purposes for which
such Confidential Information was disclosed; limiting and otherwise
controlling copies or other forms of reproduction of the Confidential
Information; and maintaining the Confidential Information in a secure
place or places so as to preclude unauthorized access thereto. If the
Undersigned is in doubt as to whether certain information constitutes
Confidential Information, the Undersigned should assume such
information is Confidential Information subject to protection under
this Agreement and treat such information accordingly.
(iv) Grounds of Dismissal. The Undersigned acknowledges
and agrees that the Undersigned's breach of his or her obligations under the
terms of this Agreement shall constitute grounds for dismissal for cause.
(v) Non-Competition. The Undersigned expressly agrees
that the Undersigned will not use any of the Confidential Information to
compete, in any way, with the ErgoBilt Companies without the prior written
consent of the ErgoBilt Companies, which consent may be withheld in their sole
and absolute discretion.
(vi) Injunctive Relief. The Undersigned understands and
agrees that the ErgoBilt Companies have a substantial ongoing investment in the
development of the Confidential Information, and the ErgoBilt Companies would
be irreparably injured if this Agreement were to be breached. Should the
ErgoBilt Companies bring suit for breach of this Agreement or for unauthorized
use or disclosure of any Confidential Information, the Undersigned consents to
jurisdiction and venue in any federal or state court in Texas, in Dallas
County, and agrees that preliminary and permanent injunctive relief would be an
appropriate, though not exclusive, remedy and agrees not to oppose any request
for expedited discovery in such an action.
(vii) Return of Written Materials. Immediately upon the
Undersigned's voluntary or involuntary termination of employment with the
ErgoBilt Companies for any reason, with or without cause, or at any time
promptly upon the written request of the ErgoBilt Companies, the Undersigned
shall return to the ErgoBilt Companies the original and all copies of the
Confidential Information, and all notes, diagrams, papers, documents and other
materials irrespective of form, concerning or relating to such Confidential
Information in the possession or control of the Undersigned.

and assigns.

interpreted by the laws of the State of Texas. Jurisdiction and venue shall

is necessary to enforce or interpret the terms of this Agreement, the ErgoBilt
Companies shall be entitled to reasonable attorney's fees, costs, and necessary
disbursements in addition to any other relief to which they may be entitled.
(xi) Modifications. All additions or modifications to
this Agreement must be made in writing and must be signed by the Undersigned
and the ErgoBilt Companies.
