CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-COMPETITION.

a)

Employee recognizes that confidential information concerning the business or affairs of Employer (including, but not limited to, customer lists, customer information know-how, technologies, services, marketing, plans, strategies, costs, profits, sales and capitalization) is a valuable asset of Employer and that unauthorized disclosure or use of any such confidential information that Employee may obtain in the course of employment would inflict irreparable harm to Employer. Employee, therefore, agree that, during the term of his employment with Employer and thereafter, he will not disclose or use, or authorize anyone else to disclose or use, any such confidential information without the prior written consent of Employer.

b)

During the term of his employment, Employee will not, directly or indirectly, engage in or be connected with (as an officer, director, partner, owner, Employee, creditor or otherwise) any business that competes with or is similar to Employer.

c)

For a period of one year following the termination of his employment, for whatever reason, Employee will not: (a) directly or indirectly, solicit business from, offer to provide services to, or do business with, any (i) customer to whom Employer has provided services on the date of termination of his employment or at any time during the immediately preceding twelve-month period, or (ii) any potential customer of Inforte, defined as any company which Inforte has delivered a proposal to in the immediately preceding twelve month period prior to Employees’ termination of employment; or (b) attempt, either directly or indirectly, to induce or influence any other Employee of Employer to leave the Employer’s employ.

d)

If any legal action or other proceeding is brought by Employer for enforcement of this Section 10, Employer, if it is the prevailing party, shall be entitled to recover from Employee its reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in such action or proceeding, in addition to any other legal or equitable relief to which it may be entitled. Consistent with the foregoing Employee agrees that Employer will have the right to obtain immediate injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce the obligations under this Section 10.
