5.3 Confidential Treatment. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that he or she has acquired, and will in the future acquire as a result of his or her Employment or otherwise, Proprietary Information of the Company which is of a confidential or trade secret nature, and all of which has a great value to the Company and is a substantial basis and foundation upon which the Company’s business is predicated. Accordingly, other than in the legitimate performance of the Participant’s job duties, each Participant agrees:

(a) to regard and preserve as confidential at all times all Proprietary Information;

(b) to refrain from publishing or disclosing any part of the Proprietary Information and from using, copying or duplicating it in any way by any means whatsoever; and

(c) not to use on such Participant’s own behalf or on behalf of any third party or to disclose the Proprietary Information to any person or entity without the prior written consent of the Company.

5.4 Property of the Company. Each Participant acknowledges that all Proprietary Information and other property of the Company which such Participant accumulates during such Participant’s Employment are the exclusive property of the Company.

The Company may seek the assistance, cooperation or testimony of the applicable Participant following any such termination in connection with any investigation, litigation or proceeding arising out of matters within the knowledge of such Participant and related to his or her Employment, and in such instance, such Participant shall provide such assistance, cooperation or testimony and the Company shall pay such Participant’s reasonable costs and expenses in connection therewith.

5.6 Non-Competition; Non-Solicitation.

(a) Each Participant and the Company agree to the non-competition and non-solicitation provisions of this Section 5.6: (i) in consideration for the Proprietary Information provided by the Company to such Participant; and (ii) to protect the Proprietary Information of the Company disclosed or entrusted to such Participant by the Company or created or developed by such Participant for the Company, the business goodwill of the Company developed through the efforts of such Participant and the business opportunities disclosed or entrusted to such Participant by the Company.

(b) Subject to the exceptions set forth in Section 5.6(c), each Participant expressly covenants and agrees that, during the Non-Compete Period: (i) such Participant will refrain from carrying on or engaging in, directly or indirectly, any Competing Business in the Restricted Area; and (ii) such Participant will not, directly or indirectly, own, manage, operate, join, become an employee, partner, owner or member of (or an independent contractor to), control or participate in or loan money to, sell or lease equipment to or sell or lease real property to any person or entity that engages in a Competing Business in the Restricted Area.

(c) Notwithstanding the restrictions contained in Section 5.6(b), any Participant may own an aggregate of not more than 1% of the outstanding capital stock or other equity security of any class of any corporation or other entity engaged in a Competing Business, if such capital stock or other equity security is listed on a national securities exchange or regularly traded in the over-the-counter market by a member of a national securities exchange, without violating the provisions of Section 5.6(b), provided that such Participant does not have the power, directly or indirectly, to control or direct the management or affairs

A-3

of any such corporation or other entity and is not involved in the management of such corporation or entity.

(d) Each Participant further expressly covenants and agrees that, during the Non-Solicit Period, such Participant will not: (i) engage or employ, or solicit or contact with a view to the engagement or employment of, any person who is an officer or employee of the Company; or (ii) canvass, solicit, approach or entice away or cause to be canvassed, solicited, approached or enticed away from the Company any person who or which is or was a customer of the Company, during the prior two years of such Participant’s Employment, and either (x) about which such Participant received Proprietary Information or (y) with which such Participant had contact or dealings on behalf of the Company.

(e) Each Participant expressly recognizes that he or she is a key employee and an important member of management who will be provided with access to Proprietary Information and trade secrets as part of such Participant’s Employment and that the restrictive covenants set forth in this Article V are reasonable and necessary in light of such Participant’s position and access to the Proprietary Information.

5.7 Non-Disparagement. Each Participant agrees that, following any termination of his or her Employment, such Participant will not disparage, orally or in writing, the Company, the management of the Company, any product or service provided by the Company or the future prospects of the Company.

5.8 Relief. Each Participant and the Company agree and acknowledge that the limitations as to time, geographical area and scope of activity to be restrained as set forth in this Article V are reasonable and do not impose any greater restraint than is necessary to protect the legitimate business interests of the Company. Each Participant and the Company also acknowledge that money damages would not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Article V by such Participant, and the Company shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Article V by terminating any Severance Payment or Change in Control Severance Payment then owing to such Participant under this Plan or otherwise, taking action to recoup any Severance Payment or Change in Control Severance Payment already paid, and to specific performance and injunctive relief as remedies for such breach or any threatened breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article V but shall be in addition to all remedies available at law or in equity, including the recovery of damages from a Participant and such Participant’s agents. However, if it is determined that such Participant has not committed a breach of this Article V, then the Company shall resume the payments and benefits due under this Plan and pay to such Participant all payments and benefits that had been suspended pending such determination.

5.9 Reasonableness; Enforcement. Each Participant acknowledges and agrees that the geographic scope and duration of the covenants contained in this Article V are fair and reasonable in light of: (a) the nature and wide geographic scope of the operations of the Business; (b) such Participant’s level of control over and contact with the Business in all jurisdictions in which it is conducted; (c) the fact that the Business is conducted throughout the Restricted Area; and (d) the amount of compensation and Proprietary Information that such Participant is receiving in connection with the performance of such Participant’s duties for the Company. It is the desire and intent of

A-4

each Participant and the Company that the provisions of this Article V be enforced to the fullest extent permitted under applicable Legal Requirements, whether now or hereafter in effect and, therefore, to the extent permitted by applicable Legal Requirements, such Participant and the Company hereby waive the application of any provision of applicable Legal Requirements that would render any provision of this Article V invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part.

5.10 Reformation. The Company and each Participant agree that the foregoing restrictions are reasonable under the circumstances and that any breach of the covenants contained in this Article V would cause irreparable injury to the Company. Each Participant expressly represents that enforcement of the restrictive covenants set forth in this Article V will not impose an undue hardship upon such Participant or any person or entity affiliated with such Participant. Further, each Participant acknowledges that such Participant’s skills are such that such Participant can be gainfully employed in non-competitive employment, and that the restrictive covenants will not prevent such Participant from earning a living. Nevertheless, if any of the aforesaid restrictions are found by a court of competent jurisdiction to be unreasonable, or overly broad as to geographic area or time, or otherwise unenforceable, the parties intend for the restrictions herein set forth to be modified by the court making such determination so as to be reasonable and enforceable and, as so modified, to be fully enforced.

5.11 Protected Disclosures. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary in this Plan, nothing in this Plan prohibits any Participant from reporting possible violations of law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, including the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, the U.S. Congress, and any agency Inspector General, or making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal law or regulation. Nothing in this Plan limits the Participant’s ability to communicate with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agency, including providing documents or other information, without notice to the Company. Additionally, each Participant and the Company acknowledge and agree that such Participant does not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and such Participant is not required to notify the Company or any of its affiliates that such Participant has made such reports or disclosures.

5.12 Survivability. The provisions of Article V of the Plan shall survive any termination of the Plan and shall remain applicable to any Participant who ceases to qualify for benefits under the Plan.”
