6.4 Confidentiality.
(a) Acknowledgment.
Each of
Buyer and Seller acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the
Confidential Information (as defined below), agrees to hold and keep the same
as
provided in this Section 6.4,
and
otherwise agrees to each and every restriction and obligation in this Section
6.4.
(b) Confidential
Information.
Confidential Information means and includes any and all:
(i) trade
secrets concerning the business and affairs of either Buyer or Seller (the
?Provider?) provided to the other party (the ?Recipient?), including product
specifications, data, know-how, formulae, compositions, processes, designs,
sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, past,
current, and planned research and development, current and planned manufacturing
or distribution methods and processes, customer lists, current and anticipated
customer requirements, price lists, market studies, business plans, computer
software and programs, systems, structures and architectures (and related
processes, formulae, composition, improvements, devices, know-how, inventions,
discoveries, concepts, ideas, designs, methods and information), and any other
information, however documented, that is a trade secret within the meaning
of
the applicable state trade secret law); and
(ii) information
concerning the business and affairs of the Provider (which includes historical
financial statements, financial projections and budgets, historical and
projected sales, capital spending budgets and plans, the names and backgrounds
of key personnel, and personnel training techniques and materials, however
documented) that has been or may hereafter be provided or shown to the Recipient
by the Provider or by the Provider?s representatives or is otherwise obtained
from review of Provider documents or property or discussions with the Provider?s
representatives by the Recipient or by the Recipient's representatives
(including current or prospective financing sources) or representatives of
the
Recipient?s representatives irrespective of the form of the communication,
and
also includes all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries, and other
material prepared by the Recipient or the Recipient's representatives containing
or based, in whole or in part, on any information included in the foregoing.
Any
trade secrets of the Provider will also be entitled to all of the protections
and benefits under the applicable state trade secret law and any other
applicable law.
12
(c) Restricted
Use of Confidential Information.
The
Recipient agrees that the Confidential Information (a) will be kept confidential
by the Recipient and the Recipient's representatives and (b) without limiting
the foregoing, will not be disclosed by the Recipient or the Recipient's
representatives to any person except as expressly otherwise permitted by the
terms of this Section 6.4.
It is
understood that the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information to only
those of the Recipient's representatives who (i) require such material for
the
purpose of evaluating the Transaction, and (ii) are informed by the Recipient
of
the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and the obligations
of
this Section 6.4.
The
Recipient further agrees that the Recipient and the Recipient's representatives
will not use any of the Confidential Information either for any reason or
purpose other than to evaluate the Transaction or in any way detrimental to
the
Provider (it being acknowledged that any use other than evaluation of and
negotiating the Transaction will be deemed detrimental). The Recipient also
agrees to be responsible for enforcing the terms of this Section 6.4
as to
the Recipient's representatives and the confidentiality of the Confidential
Information and to take such action, legal or otherwise, to the extent necessary
to cause them to comply with the terms and conditions of this Section
6.4
and
thereby prevent any disclosure of the Confidential Information by any of the
Recipient's representatives (including all actions that the Recipient would
take
to protect its own trade secrets and confidential information).
(d) Exceptions.
All of
the foregoing obligations and restrictions do not apply to that part of the
Confidential Information that the Recipient demonstrates (a) was or becomes
generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by
the
Recipient or the Recipient's representatives or (b) was available, or becomes
available, to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis prior to its disclosure
to the Recipient by the Provider or Provider?s representatives. Nothing
contained in this Section 6.4
shall
limit or otherwise apply to Buyer?s use and disclosure of the Assets after
the
Closing.
(e) Required
Disclosure.
The
Recipient or such Recipient?s representative may furnish that portion (and
only
that portion) of the Confidential Information that is required to disclose
under
the applicable federal and state securities laws.
(f) Return
of Confidential Information.
If this
Agreement is terminated for any reason, then (a) the Recipient (i) will promptly
deliver to the Provider all documents or other materials furnished by the
Provider or any of Provider?s representative to the Recipient or the Recipient's
representatives constituting Confidential Information, together with all copies
and summaries thereof in the possession or under the control of the Recipient
or
the Recipient's representatives, and (ii) will destroy materials generated
by
the Recipient or the Recipient's representatives that include or refer to any
part of the Confidential Information, without retaining a copy of any such
material or (b) alternatively, if the Provider requests or gives its prior
written consent to the Recipient's request, the Recipient will destroy all
documents or other matters constituting Confidential Information in the
possession or under the control of the Recipient or the Recipient's
representatives. Any such destruction pursuant to the foregoing must be
confirmed by the Recipient in writing to the Provider (such confirmation must
include a list of the destroyed materials).
13
(g) Remedies.
The
Recipient agrees to indemnify and hold the Provider and its stockholders
harmless from any damages, loss, cost, or liability (including legal fees and
the cost of enforcing this indemnity) arising out of or resulting from any
unauthorized use or disclosure by the Recipient or the Recipient's
representatives of the Confidential Information or other violation of this
Section 6.4.
In
addition, because an award of money damages (whether pursuant to the foregoing
sentence or otherwise) would be inadequate for any breach of this Section
6.4
by the
Recipient or the Recipient's representatives and any such breach would cause
the
Provider irreparable harm, the Recipient also agrees that, in the event of
any
breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.4,
the
Provider will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or
other security, to equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific
performance. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach
of
this Agreement but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law
or
equity to the Provider.
6.5 Press
Releases.
Except
as required by applicable law, Seller shall not make any public statement or
press releases concerning this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby
except for such written information as shall have been approved in writing
as to
form and content by Buyer, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.

AGREEMENT
REGARDING
CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION AND WORK PRODUCTS
This
AGREEMENT REGARDING CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND WORK PRODUCTS (this
?Agreement?)
is
entered into effective as of January 4, 2005 (the ?Closing
Date?),
by and
between CONSTELLATION BIOMETRICS CORPORATION, a Florida corporation (the
?Company?),
and
Xxxxxx Xxxxxx (?Employee?),
with
reference to the following recitals:
A. Employee
has been an employee of Biometric Security, a South African private company
ltd
("Seller").
B. Pursuant
to that certain Asset Purchase Agreement by and between the Company and Seller,
dated as of the Closing Date hereof (the ?Purchase Agreement?), Seller agreed
to
cause Employee to enter into this Agreement with the Company.
C. Employee
desires to enter into this Agreement in satisfaction of the conditions set
forth
in the Purchase Agreement.
NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing premises, the mutual covenants
contained herein, and the Purchase Agreement, and other good and valuable
consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged,
the
parties hereto agree as follows:
1. Definitions.
1.1 The
term
?Confidential
Information?
means
proprietary techniques and confidential information that the Seller has
transferred or will transfer to the Company or that Employee received or will
receive under conditions of confidentiality. Confidential Information is to
be
broadly defined and includes (i) all information that has or could have
commercial value or other utility in the business in which either the Seller
or
the Company is or was engaged or in which the Company contemplates engaging,
(ii) all information that, if disclosed without authorization, could be
detrimental to the interest of the Company, whether or not such information
is
identified as Confidential Information by the Seller or the Company; and
(iii) all information relating to the business formerly conducted by
Seller
and to be conducted by the Company, whether previously existing, now existing
or
arising hereafter, whether conceived or developed by others or by Employee
alone
or with others, and whether or not conceived or developed during regular working
hours. By example and without limitation, Confidential Information includes
all
information relating to techniques, processes, formulas, trade secrets,
inventions, discoveries, improvements, research or development test results,
specifications, data, know-how, formats, marketing plans, business plans,
strategies, forecasts, non-published financial information, budgets,
projections, and customer and supplier identities, characteristics, and
agreements. The term ?Confidential Information? shall not include any
information of the type specified above to the extent that such information
is
or becomes publicly known or generally utilized by others engaged in the same
business or activities in which the Company utilized, developed or otherwise
acquired such information (other than by reason of Employee?s breach of this
Agreement). Failure to xxxx any Confidential Information as confidential shall
not affect its status as Confidential Information under this
Agreement.
1.2 The
term
?Work
Products?
means
and includes, without limitation, a discovery, a development, a design, an
improvement, an invention, a know-how, technical or non-technical data, a
formula, a pattern, a compilation, a program, a device, a method, a technique,
a
drawing, a process, financial data, financial plans, product plans, business
plans, software programs (including the object and source code thereto) or
a
list (whether in written form or otherwise) of actual or potential customers
or
suppliers, which is not commonly known by or available to the public and which
information (i) derives economic value, actual or potential, from not being
generally known to and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by other
persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use and (ii) is
the
subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain
its
secrecy.
Exhibit
"E" - Page 1
2. Ownership.
2.1 Confidential
Information.
Employee
hereby acknowledges and agrees that all right, title and interest in and to
any
Confidential Information shall be and shall remain the exclusive property of
the
Company, and that any Confidential Information which Employee acquired from
the
Seller or acquires from the Company was and is received in confidence and as
a
fiduciary of the Seller or the Company.
2.2 Work
Products.
Employee hereby acknowledges that any and all Work Products which may have
been
or are made, developed or conceived of in whole or in part by Employee, or
any
of Employee?s representatives working with Employee, in connection with the
services performed by Employee on behalf of Seller or the Company or relating
to
the business of the Seller or the Company, shall belong solely and exclusively
to the Company.
(a) Assignment
of Work Product.
Employee
hereby assigns to the Company Employee?s entire right, title and interest,
including all patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark and other proprietary
rights, in any and all Work Products.
(b) Documentation.
Employee
shall, at no charge to the Company, execute and aid in the preparation of any
and all documentation that the Company may consider necessary or helpful to
obtain or maintain, at the Company?s expense,
any patents, copyrights, trademarks or other proprietary rights. The Company
shall reimburse Employee for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred under
this Section.
(c) REASONABLENESS
OF RESTRICTIONS.
EMPLOYEE
HAS CAREFULLY READ AND CONSIDERED THE PROVISIONS OF THIS SECTION AND, HAVING
DONE SO, HEREBY AGREES THAT THE RESTRICTIONS SET FORTH IN SUCH SECTION ARE
FAIR
AND REASONABLE AND ARE REASONABLY REQUIRED FOR THE PROTECTION OF THE INTERESTS
OF THE COMPANY AND ITS BUSINESS.
3. Disclosure
and Use.
At all
times from and after the Closing Date, Employee shall hold in trust, keep
confidential and shall not directly or indirectly make use of, copy, disclose,
reveal, report, publish or transfer to any third party any Confidential
Information or Work Products without the prior written approval of the Company.
Employee shall not cause the transmission, removal, or transport of Confidential
Information or Work Products from the Company?s principal places of business
or
such other place specified by the Company without prior written approval of
the
Company. Employee acknowledges that the unauthorized use or disclosure of
Confidential Information or Work Products may be highly prejudicial to the
interest of the Company. Employee will not publish, disclose or otherwise
disseminate such Confidential Information or Work Products without the prior
written approval of the Company.
4. Return
of Company?s Property.
Within
three (3) calendar days following the sale, transfer or assignment of all of
Employee?s ownership interest in the Company, Employee shall deliver to the
Company all of the Company?s or any of its affiliates? property and the

nature and in whatever medium provided to Employee, including, without
limitation, information pertaining to the Company or any of its affiliates
or

description or any reproduction thereof, or any documents containing or
pertaining to any Confidential Information or Work Products.

5. Remedies.
Each
party hereto has carefully read and considered the provisions of this Agreement
and, having done so, agrees that the restrictions set forth in this Agreement
are fair and reasonable and are reasonably required for the protection of the
interests of each party hereto.
5.1 Injunctive
Relief.
Each
party hereto acknowledges and agrees that (i) the covenants and the
restrictions contained in this Agreement are necessary, fundamental, and
required for the protection of the Company and its business; (ii) such covenants
relate to matters which are of a special, unique, and extraordinary character
that gives each of such covenants a unique and extraordinary value; and (iii)
a
breach of any of such covenants will result in irreparable harm and damages
to
the Company which cannot be adequately compensated by a monetary award.
Accordingly, it is expressly agreed that in addition to all other remedies
available at law or in equity, the non-defaulting party shall be entitled to
seek injunctive or other equitable relief to restrain or enjoin Employee from
breaching any such covenant or to specifically enforce the provisions of this
Agreement.
5.2 Cumulative
Remedies.
Notwithstanding any provision of this Agreement to the contrary, the parties
agree that no remedy conferred by any specific provision of this Agreement
(including without limitation, this Section) is intended to be exclusive of
any
other remedy, and that each and every remedy shall be cumulative and shall
be in
addition to every other remedy available at law, in equity, by statute or
otherwise.
5.3 Severability.
In the
event that any one or more provisions of this Agreement shall be held to be
invalid or unenforceable, the validity and enforceability of the remainder
hereof shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. Moreover, if any
one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement are held to be
excessively broad as to duration, scope, activity or subject, such provisions
will be construed by limiting and reducing them so as to be enforceable to
the
maximum extent compatible with applicable law.
6. General
Provisions.
6.1 Attorneys
Fees.
In any
action (including, without limitation, any mediation, arbitration,
administrative proceeding or judicial proceeding) between or among the parties
to enforce or interpret any of the terms or provisions of this Agreement, the
prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to receive its reasonable
costs and expenses incurred in connection with such action, including without
limitation, reasonable attorneys fees, expert witness fees and accounting
fees.
6.2 No
Waiver.
A
waiver by any party of a breach of any of the covenants, conditions or
agreements under this Agreement made or to be performed by any other party
shall
not be construed as a waiver of such breach by any other party or as a waiver
of
any succeeding breach of the same or any other covenant, agreement, restriction
or condition of this Agreement.
6.3 Modifications.
No
alteration, change or modification of or to this Agreement shall be effective
unless it is made in writing and signed by all parties hereto.

contemplated herein are superseded by this Agreement and shall be of no further
force or effect.
