2.2                                 Relationship with Others.  The parties agree that, during the Stockholder’s relationship with the Company, the Stockholder has had unique and extensive exposure to and personal contact with customers and employees of the Business, and such contact has enabled the Stockholder to establish a unique relationship with these customers and employees that, unless restricted, could enable the Stockholder to compete unfairly with the Company and cause the Company irreparable injury.  The parties further agree that the profitability and goodwill of the Company depend on continued amicable relations with its customers and prospective customers, and employees, and the Stockholder will not, during the 5 year period after the Closing Date, cause, induce, attempt to induce, request, solicit, attempt to solicit or advise (a) any supplier of the Company, or any customers, prospective customers, distributors, resellers or independent contractors of the Company to curtail, harm, cancel or terminate their patronage of the Business, or relationships with the Company; or (b) any employee of the Company to terminate the employee’s employment as such in order to become an employee, consultant or independent contractor to or for any Competitor or to or for any person or entity with which the Stockholder is associated in any way; provided, that the foregoing restriction in clause (b) shall not apply to responses to general advertisements, public notices or similar public postings made by or for the Stockholder,  or to solicitations by a placement agency, in each case as to which the Stockholder had not targeted the hiring of any such employee.  Nothing in this Section 2.2 shall prevent the employment of the Stockholder by a customer or supplier of the Company unless such employment violates Section 3.1 or constitutes a specific violation of this Section 2.2.

4  Miscellaneous

(b)                                 The parties agree that it is impossible to measure in money the damages that may accrue to a party hereto by reason of a failure to perform any of the obligations hereunder.  Therefore, in the event of any controversy concerning the rights or obligations under this Agreement, such rights or obligations shall be enforceable in a court of equity by a decree of specific performance.  Such remedy, however, shall be cumulative and nonexclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedy which the parties may have.

4.9                                 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Merger Agreement and the other documents and materials referred to herein or therein, constitute the entire understanding of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  There are no restrictions, promises, warranties, covenants or undertakings other than those expressly set forth herein and therein.  This Agreement supersedes all prior negotiations, agreements and undertakings between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  This Agreement is not an agreement of employment, and is not intended to be superseded by any current or subsequent employment agreement between the Stockholder and the Company or Parent.

4.10                           Effectiveness.  This Agreement and the provisions hereof shall only become effective upon the closing of the transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement.  If the Merger Agreement is terminated for any reason, this Agreement shall be void and of no further force and effect.
