a.                    Brunton acknowledges that he has agreed to certain post-employment obligations, as set forth in the Employment Agreement. Brunton further acknowledges that Company’s business and future success depends on the preservation of the trade secrets and other confidential information, as defined in in the Employment Agreement, of Company and its suppliers and customers.

Brunton agrees to protect and to preserve as confidential all of the Secrets at any time known to Brunton or in Brunton’s possession or control (whether wholly or partially developed by Brunton or provided to Brunton, and whether embodied in a tangible medium or merely remembered).

b.                   Brunton will neither use nor allow any other person to use any of the Secrets in any way, except for the benefit of Company and as directed by Company’s Board of Directors. All material containing or disclosing any portion of the Secrets will be and remain the property of Company.

12.            Cooperation . Brunton agrees to cooperate with Company (including its outside counsel) in connection with the contemplation, execution, prosecution and defense of all phases of Company work transition, existing, past and future litigation and/or in connection with any government investigation about which Company believes that Brunton may have knowledge or information. Brunton further agrees to make himself available at mutually convenient times during and outside of regular business hours as reasonably deemed necessary by Company’s counsel. Brunton agrees to appear without the necessity of a subpoena to testify truthfully in any legal proceedings in which Brunton is called as a witness.

13.            Termination of Separation Benefits; Injunctive Relief . In the event that Brunton fails to comply with any of the provision of this Agreement, including any of the secrets, trade secrets and other confidential information, as defined in in the Employment Agreement, that have been incorporated by reference, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies it may have for such breach, Company shall have the right to terminate the Separation Benefits, as defined in Section 4 above. Any such termination in the event of a breach by the Brunton shall not affect the general release in Section 6 or the Brunton’s ongoing obligation to comply with this Agreement and shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, Company’s rights to other legal and equitable remedies that the Company may have. Further, Brunton agrees that it would be difficult to measure any harm caused to Company that might result from any breach by Brunton of any of this Agreement and that, in any event, money damages would be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, Brunton agrees that if he breaches, or there is an imminent threat of a breach of any portion of this Agreement, Company shall be entitled, in addition to all other remedies it may have, to an injunction or other appropriate equitable relief to restrain any such breach, without showing or proving any monetary damage to Company and without the necessity of posting a bond. In the event of litigation to enforce this Agreement, Company shall be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees.

16.            Waiver . No waiver of any provision of this Agreement, including the restrictive covenants, shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by the waiving party. The failure of either Party to require the performance of any term or obligation of this Agreement or the Covenants thereto, or the waiver by either Party of any breach of this Agreement or the Covenants thereto, shall not prevent any subsequent enforcement of such term or obligation or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach.

17.            Taxes . Company shall undertake to make deductions, withholdings and tax reports with respect to payments and benefits under this Agreement and in connection with other compensation matters to the extent that it reasonably and in good faith determines that it is required to make such deductions, withholdings and tax reports.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to require Company to make any payments to compensate Brunton for any adverse tax effect associated with any payments or benefits made to Brunton in connection with Brunton’s employment with Company.

18.            Successors and Assigns . The parties agree that their rights and obligations hereunder are binding upon and inure to the benefit of their respective successors and assigns, and in the case of Brunton, to his heirs as well.

19.            Severability/Enforceability . It is understood and agreed that if any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will nevertheless continue to be valid and enforceable.

20.            Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when so executed and delivered shall be taken to be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same document.
