(i) produce, promote, sell, lease, license, distribute, install or service anywhere in the world (the “Territory”) products or services in existence or under development, which are similar to or in competition with those of the Business;

(ii) own, manage, operate, fund, be compensated by, participate in, render advice to, have any right to or interest in any other business directly or indirectly engaged in the production, promotion, sale, lease, license, distribution or servicing of products or services competitive with those of the Business anywhere in the Territory;

(iii) divulge, communicate, use or disclose any nonpublic information concerning the Business or Buyers or any of their affiliates, their personnel, business and affairs;

(iv) interfere with the business relationships or disparage the good name or reputation of the Business, Buyers, or any of their affiliates or take any action which brings the Business, Buyers or any of their affiliates or its business into public ridicule or disrepute;

(v) solicit or accept any business competitive with the Business from customers or suppliers of the Business, or request, induce or advise customers or suppliers of the Business to withdraw, curtail or cancel their business with the Business or Buyers;

(vi) solicit for employment or employ any present or future employee of the Business, Buyers or any of their affiliates, or request, induce or advise any employee to leave the employ of the Business, Buyers or any of their affiliates; provided, however, in the event any of the employees located at U.S. Seller’s Orlando, Florida facility that are listed on Schedule 8.5 (A) are terminated by U.S. Buyer or (B) resign or terminate their employment with U.S. Buyer, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ employ such employees so long as Philip Mark has not breached his obligations set forth in this Section 8.5 with respect to such employee’s termination or resignation.

(vii) use or disclose the names and/or addresses of any customer, supplier or employee of the Business or Buyers to any person for any purpose whatsoever.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 8.5 shall prevent ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ from performing his duties and responsibilities under

-58 -

and in accordance with the Employment Agreement or prevent Philip Mark from performing his duties and responsibilities under and in accordance with the Consulting Agreement. The ownership of less than two (2) percent of a publicly-traded company shall not in and of itself be deemed to be a violation of this Section 8.5.

(b) If any of Sellers or the Stockholders violate the provisions of this Section, Buyers shall not, as a result of the time involved in obtaining relief, be deprived of the benefit of the full period of the restrictive covenant with respect to such Sellers or the Stockholders. Accordingly, the restrictive covenant of this Section as it applies to each of Sellers and the Stockholders shall be deemed to have the duration specified in Subsection 8.5(a) hereof, computed from the date the relief is granted, but reduced by the time between the period when the restriction began to run and the date of the first violation of the covenant by such Seller(s) or Stockholder(s).

(c) Each of Sellers and the Stockholders agree that, if they shall violate any of the provisions of this Section 8.5, Buyers shall be entitled to an accounting and repayment of all profits, compensation, commission, remuneration or other benefits that Sellers and the Stockholders, directly or indirectly, may realize arising from or related to any such violation. These remedies shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any injunctive relief or other rights to which Buyers may be entitled.

(d) The parties agree and acknowledge that the duration, scope and geographic areas applicable to the covenant not to compete described in this Section 8.5 are fair, reasonable and necessary, that adequate compensation has been received by each of Sellers and the Stockholders for such obligations. If, however, for any reason any court determines that the restrictions in this Section are not reasonable, that consideration is inadequate or that the Stockholders have been prevented from earning a livelihood and therefore the restrictions are unenforceable, such restrictions shall be interpreted, modified or rewritten to include as much of the duration, scope and geographic area identified in this Section as will render such restrictions valid and enforceable.

(e) Each of Sellers and the Stockholders acknowledge that they have carefully read and considered the terms of this Section 8.5. Each of Sellers and the Stockholders hereby waive any requirement of proof that a breach of this Section 8.5 will cause serious or irreparable injury to Buyers, or that there is an adequate remedy at Law. In any proceeding, either at Law or in equity, between the parties hereto, each of Sellers and the Stockholders hereby agree that they shall not raise as a defense (i) that the duration, scope or geographical area in which any of Sellers and the Stockholders are prohibited from competition is unfair, unnecessary or unreasonable, (ii) that this Section 8.5 presents a Stockholder from earning a livelihood; or (iii) that this Agreement is in restraint of trade. Further, the existence of any claim or cause of action of each of Sellers and the Stockholders or any of their Affiliates, whether or not predicated on the terms of this Agreement, shall not constitute a defense to the enforcement of any of Sellers’ and the Stockholders’ obligations under this Section 8.5. Each of Sellers and the Stockholders shall pay or reimburse Buyers for all costs and expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys’ fees incurred or paid by Buyers in protecting or enforcing its rights and remedies hereunder with respect to a breach of this Section 8.5.

8.6 Notices and Consents.

8.7 Bulk Sales Act Compliance. Buyers and each of Sellers hereby waive compliance with the provisions of any applicable bulk transfer Laws. Except with respect to Assumed Liabilities, each of Sellers shall forever indemnify and hold harmless Buyers against any and all expense, loss, damage or liability, including reasonable attorneys fees and court costs, which Buyers may suffer as a result of claims asserted by third parties against Buyers due to any noncompliance by any of Sellers and Buyers with applicable bulk transfer Laws.

8.8

Confidentiality; Publicity.

(a) Except as may be required by Law, as expressly contemplated herein or as expressly consented to by Buyers, no party hereto or their respective affiliates, employees, agents and representatives (including any of Sellers) shall disclose to any third party this Agreement, the subject matter or terms hereof or any confidential information or other proprietary knowledge concerning the business or affairs of any other party which it may have acquired from such party in the course of pursuing the transactions contemplated by this Agreement or use or knowingly permit the use of such confidential information or other proprietary knowledge for any purpose other than in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto; provided, that any information that is otherwise publicly available, without breach of this provision, or has been obtained from a third party without a breach of such third party’s duties, shall not be deemed confidential information. No press release or other public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be issued by any of Sellers or the Stockholders without the prior written approval of the other parties hereto (which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed); provided, however, that this provision shall not prohibit Buyers from making any public disclosure which Buyer’s counsel advises is required under rules and regulations promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission or the Nasdaq Stock Market.

(b) After each Closing, except as may be required for Tax purposes or other regulatory purposes, none of Sellers or the Stockholders or their Affiliates and respective successors and assigns shall (i) except as provided in Section 8.4, retain any document, databases or other media embodying any confidential or proprietary information which relate to the U.S. Business or Irish Business, as the case may be, or constitute a part of the U.S. Purchased Assets or the Irish Purchased Assets, as the case may be, or use, publish or disclose to any third person any such confidential or proprietary information or (ii) use, publish or disclose any information concerning Buyers, its affiliates, the U.S. Business or the Irish Business, as the case may be, the customers or suppliers of the U.S. Business or the Irish Business, as the case may be, or the terms of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby.

-60 -

8.9 Licenses and Permits. To the extent permitted by the applicable governmental and/or regulatory authorities, each of Sellers shall cooperate with Buyers and shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to transfer, assign and pass to Buyers all of its rights under each of the Licenses and Permits listed on Section 4.19 of the Disclosure Letter as soon as possible. Each of Seller’s obligations under this Section shall include, but not be limited to, the following:

(a) executing all assignments and other documents necessary to effect transfer or assignment of the Licenses and Permits from such Seller to Buyers;

(b) providing the governmental authorities responsible for the Licenses and Permits and Buyers with whatever information and documentation that may be reasonably required in connection with the transfer of the Licenses and Permits;

(e) taking such further actions relating to the Licenses and Permits as the governmental authorities, or Buyers, may reasonably require.

8.10 Cooperation. The Stockholders agree to cooperate and assist Buyers in connection with the resolution of all claims and disputes pending each Closing or that arise after Closing but relate to the period prior to such Closing.

8.11 VAT. (a) The parties shall use all reasonable endeavors to ensure no Value Added Tax or similar sales or turnover Tax of any relevant jurisdiction (“VAT”) falls to be chargeable in respect of all or any of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement by reason that the sale and purchase of the Purchased Assets is deemed to be a transfer of a business or part of a business for the purposes of the Value Added Tax Acts of Ireland or any analogous legislation of any relevant jurisdiction.

(b) If despite the endeavors referred to in Section 8.11(a), VAT falls to be charged, Buyers shall discharge promptly upon receipt of an appropriate invoice any VAT payable in respect of the transactions contemplated hereby.

8.12 Non-exclusive License. Following the U.S. Closing, U.S. Buyer hereby grants to Irish Seller, a non-exclusive license to use the Intellectual Property solely with respect to the Irish Business and in a manner consistent with the use of the Intellectual Property by Irish Seller immediately prior to the U.S. Closing at the royalty rate of 5% of the sales price. The sales price is defined as the price Irish Seller receives from the sale of products to Irish Sellers’ customers/distributors net of VAT. Irish Sellers shall pay all such royalties to U.S. Buyer within 30 days of the end of each calendar month during the period this license is in effect. The license set forth in this Section 8.12 shall expire on the earlier of the Irish Closing and six (6) months from the date of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article XII with respect to the Irish Purchased Assets.
