NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing, the mutual covenants and agreements contained herein, and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, the parties, intending to be legally bound, hereby agree as follows: 1. Period of Agreement. The period of this Agreement shall commence on the date hereof and remain in effect through February 24, 2009 (the "Non-Compete Period"), or may be extended if Member is employed by or contracted by Parent or Purchaser. 2. Compensation. Simultaneously with the execution of this Agreement, the Purchaser has paid or become obligated to pay the amounts stated in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The parties acknowledge and agree that the foregoing compensation paid or to be paid to the Member is independent of the damages that the Purchaser may suffer in the event of any breach of this Agreement by the Member and is not intended (and shall not be deemed or construed) to limit the amount of damages the Purchaser shall suffer or be entitled to recover in the event of any such breach. 3. Covenant Not to Compete. The Member covenants and agrees that during the Non-Compete Period, the Member shall not , without the prior written consent of the Purchaser, directly or indirectly, and whether as a principal or as an agent, officer, director, employee, consultant, or otherwise, alone or in association with any other person, carry on, be engaged, concerned, or take part in, render services to, otherwise assist in any manner (with or without any form of compensation), or own, share in the earnings of, or invest in the stock, bonds, or other securities of, any person which is engaged in a business competitive with the business conducted under the Seller's Business Agreements (the "Business") or a similar business of the Purchaser involving the business of information systems business providing services to Public Safety and Homeland Security organizations , within the State of New Mexico (the "Competitive Business"); provided, however, that the Member may invest in stock, bonds, or other securities of any Competitive Business (but without otherwise participating in the Competitive Business) if: (A) such stock, bonds, or other securities are listed on any national securities exchange or are registered under Section 12(g) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended; (B) the investment does not exceed, in the case of any class of capital stock of any one issuer, two percent (2%) of the issued and outstanding shares, or, in the case of bonds or other securities of any one issuer, two percent (2%) of the aggregate principal amount thereof issued and outstanding; and ) such investment would not prevent, directly or indirectly, the transaction of business by the Purchaser or any affiliate of the Purchaser with any state, district, territory, or possession of the United States or any governmental subdivision, agency, or instrumentality thereof by virtue of any statute, law, regulation or administrative practice. The period of time during which the Member is prohibited from engaging in certain activities by this Section shall be extended by the length of time during which the Member is in breach of the terms of this section. It is understood by and between the parties hereto that the foregoing covenant by the Member not to enter into competition with the Business or a similar business of the Purchaser is an essential element of this Agreement and the Asset Purchase Agreement and that, but for the agreement of the Member to comply with such covenant, the Purchaser would not have agreed to enter into this Agreement or the Asset Purchase Agreement. The Member has independently consulted with the Member's counsel and has been advised in all respects concerning the reasonableness and propriety of such covenant, with specific regard to the Business and the nature of the business conducted by the Purchaser and its affiliates. The Member agrees that such covenant is reasonable in scope, geographic area, and duration, and that compliance with such covenant would not impose economic or professional hardship on the Member. 4. Restrictions on Soliciting Business of the Purchaser. Each of the Seller and the Member further covenants and agrees that, during the Non-Compete Period, neither the Seller nor the Member will, either for itself or himself or herself or for any other person or entity, directly or indirectly, engage in any of the following activities without the express prior written consent of the Purchaser: (a) Solicit or hire any of the employees of the Purchaser or solicit or take away any of the Purchaser's customers, lessors, or suppliers or attempt any of the foregoing; (b) Acquire or attempt to acquire rights providing any product or service in a Competitive Business within the territory described in Section 3 hereof; or (c) Solicit or accept orders for services competitive to those previously provided or sold by the Seller in the Business from any then or previous customer of the Seller or the Business or otherwise induce or attempt to induce any such customer to reduce such customer's patronage of the business with the Purchaser or otherwise engage in any act which would interfere with or harm any business relationship the Purchaser has with any customer, lessor, employee, principal, or supplier. 5. Specific Performance. Without intending to limit the remedies available to the Purchaser, each of the Seller and the Member acknowledges that the Purchaser will have no adequate remedies at law if the Seller or the Member violates the terms of Section 3 or 4, hereof. In such event, each of the Seller and the Member agrees that the Purchaser shall have the right, in addition to any other rights it may have (including, without limitation,) to obtain in any court of competent jurisdiction specific performance of such Sections of this Agreement or injunctive relief to restrain any breach or threatened breach thereof. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting the Purchaser from pursuing any other remedies available to the Purchaser (whether at law or in equity) for such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, the recovery of monetary damages from the Seller and the Member and the right of recoupment set forth in the Asset Purchase Agreement. The provisions of this Section 5 shall survive the expiration, termination or cancellation of this Agreement. 6. Attorneys Fees and Costs.
