confidence, except to the extent required by applicable Law, all confidential information
(including trade secrets) regarding the Company or Turnpike LLC, except to the extent that such
information can be shown to have been (i) previously known on a nonconfidential basis by Seller,
(ii) in the public domain through no fault of the Seller or (iii) later lawfully acquired by Seller
from sources (other than the Company or Turnpike LLC or their respective employees, or the
Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries) that are not under a non-disclosure or confidentiality
obligation in favour of the Company or Turnpike LLC or the Purchaser or any of its subsidiaries;
provided, that Seller may disclose such information (A) to his representatives who need to know
such information for purposes of participating in the evaluation, negotiation and/or execution of

necessary to ensure that the Purchaser receives the expected benefits of acquiring the Shares, (2)
the Purchaser has refused to enter into this Agreement in the absence of this Section 5.1

damages alone would be an inadequate remedy. Therefore, in the event of a breach by the Seller of
this Section 5.1, the Purchaser (in addition to all other remedies the Purchaser may have)
will be entitled to seek a temporary restraining order, injunction and other equitable relief
(without posting any bond or other security) restraining the Seller from committing or continuing
such breach.

tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such transfer, documentary, sales, use,
stamp, registration and other Taxes and fees.
5.4 Further Assurances. Each party will execute, acknowledge and deliver such documents and
instruments reasonably requested by the other party, and will take any other action consistent with
the terms of this Agreement that may reasonably be requested by the other party, for the purpose of
giving effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; provided, however, the Seller
specifically acknowledges and agrees that the completion of the transactions contemplated by the
