4.2 Indemnification By The Significant Shareholders And PC. The Significant Shareholders and PC, jointly and severally, (except in the case of Section 2.5 as to which [PeopleNet International Corporation] shall not be jointly and severally liable with the other Significant Shareholders unless [PeopleNet International Corporation] had knowledge of such breach) shall hold harmless and indemnify each of the Indemnitees from and against, and shall compensate and reimburse each of the Indemnitees for, any Damages that are directly or indirectly suffered or incurred by any of the Indemnitees or to which any of the Indemnitees may otherwise become subject at any time (regardless of whether or not such Damages relate to any third-party claim) and that arise directly or indirectly from or as a direct or indirect result of, or are directly or indirectly connected with:

(a) any Breach of any representation or warranty made by the Significant Shareholders or PC in this Agreement (without giving effect to any materiality qualification or any similar qualification contained or incorporated directly or indirectly in such representation) or any of the other Transactional Agreements;

(b) any Breach of any representation, warranty, statement, information or provision contained in the Disclosure Schedule or in any other document delivered or otherwise made available to PeopleNet International Corporation or any of its Representatives by or on behalf of any Significant Shareholder, PC or any Representative of any Significant Shareholder or of PC;

(c) any Breach of any covenant or obligation of any PC Shareholder or PC contained in any of the Transactional Agreements;

4.3 Exclusivity of Indemnification Remedies. With the exception of breaches of Section 2.4 and claims based upon intentional misrepresentation or fraud, the right of the Indemnitees to assert claims for indemnification and to receive indemnification pursuant to this Section 4 shall, after the Closing, be the Indemnitees' sole and exclusive remedy for monetary Damages with respect to any breach of the representations, warranties and covenants contained in this Agreement. The exercise by any Person of any of its rights under this Section 4 shall not be deemed to be an election of remedies and shall not be deemed to prejudice, or to constitute or operate as a waiver of, any injunctive or other equitable right or remedy or relief that such Person may be entitled to exercise.

4.4 Defense Of Third Party Claims. For a period of two years from the date of this Agreement, in the event of the assertion or commencement by any Person of any claim or Proceeding (whether against PeopleNet International Corporation, against any other Indemnitee or against any other Person) with respect to which any of the Significant Shareholders or PC may become obligated to indemnify, hold harmless, compensate or reimburse any Indemnitee pursuant to this Section 4, PeopleNet International Corporation shall have the right, at its election, to require the Significant Shareholders to assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding at the sole expense of the Significant Shareholders and PC. If PeopleNet International Corporation so elects to require the Significant Shareholders to assume the defense of any such claim or Proceeding:

(a) the Significant Shareholders shall proceed to defend such claim or Proceeding in a diligent manner with counsel satisfactory to PeopleNet International Corporation;

(b) PeopleNet International Corporation shall make available to the Significant Shareholders any non-privileged documents and materials in the possession of PeopleNet International Corporation that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

(c) the Significant Shareholders shall keep PeopleNet International Corporation informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or Proceeding;

(d) PeopleNet International Corporation shall have the right to participate in the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

(e) the Significant Shareholders shall not settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Proceeding without the prior written consent of PeopleNet International Corporation; and

(f) PeopleNet International Corporation may at any time (notwithstanding the prior designation of the Significant Shareholders to assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding) elect to assume the defense of such claim or Proceeding.

If PeopleNet International Corporation does not require the Significant Shareholders to assume the defense of any such claim or Proceeding (or if, after initially requiring the Significant Shareholders to assume such defense, PeopleNet International Corporation elects to assume such defense), PeopleNet International Corporation may proceed with the defense of such claim or Proceeding on its own. If PeopleNet International Corporation so proceeds with the defense of any such claim or Proceeding on its own:

(i) all expenses relating to the defense of such claim or Proceeding (whether or not incurred by PeopleNet International Corporation) shall be borne and paid exclusively by the Significant Shareholders and PC;

(ii) the Significant Shareholders and PC shall make available to PeopleNet International Corporation any documents and materials in the possession or control of either of the Significant Shareholders or PC that may be necessary to the defense of such claim or Proceeding;

(iii) PeopleNet International Corporation shall keep the Significant Shareholders informed of all material developments and events relating to such claim or Proceeding; and

(iv) PeopleNet International Corporation shall have the right to settle, adjust or compromise such claim or Proceeding without the consent of the Significant Shareholders.

4.5 Exercise Of Remedies By Indemnitees Other Than PeopleNet International Corporation. No Indemnitee (other than PeopleNet International Corporation or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall be permitted to assert any indemnification claim or exercise any other remedy under this Agreement unless PeopleNet International Corporation (or any successor thereto or assign thereof) shall have consented to the assertion of such indemnification claim or the exercise of such other remedy.

Agreement

For good and valuable consideration, PC and the undersigned shareholder agree as follows:

    1. Restriction on Competition. PC and the undersigned shareholder agree that, during the Non-competition Period and on a worldwide basis, PC and the undersigned shareholder shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to:
      1. engage in Competition in any Restricted Territory; or
      2. be or become an officer, director, shareholder, owner, co-owner, Affiliate, partner, promoter, employee, agent, representative, designer, consultant, advisor, manager, licensor, sublicensor, licensee or sublicensee of, for or to, or otherwise be or become associated with or acquire or hold (of record, beneficially or otherwise) any direct or indirect interest in, any Person that engages in Competition in any Restricted Territory;

      provided, however, that PC and the undersigned shareholder may, without violating this Section 1, own, as a passive investment, shares of capital stock of a publicly-held corporation that engages in Competition if (i) such shares are actively traded on an established national securities market in the United States, (ii) the number of shares of such corporation's capital stock that are owned beneficially by PC and the undersigned shareholder and the number of shares of such corporation's capital stock that are owned beneficially by the Company's Affiliates collectively represent less than one percent (1%) of the total number of shares of such corporation's capital stock outstanding, and (iii) neither the Company nor any Affiliate of the Company is otherwise associated directly or indirectly with such corporation or with any Affiliate of such corporation.

    2. No Solicitation of Employees. PC and the undersigned shareholder agree that, during the Non-competition Period, PC and the undersigned shareholder shall not, and shall not permit any of its Affiliates to personally or through others, encourage, induce, attempt to induce, solicit or attempt to solicit (on PC and the undersigned shareholder's own behalf or on behalf of any other Person) any Specified Employee to leave his or her employment with PeopleNet International Corporation or its subsidiaries. For purposes of this Section 2, "Specified Employee" shall mean any individual who is or was an employee of PeopleNet International Corporation or any of its subsidiaries on the date of this Non-competition Agreement or at any time during the Non-competition Period.
    3. Confidentiality. PC and the undersigned shareholder agree that we shall hold all Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not at any time (whether during or after the Non-competition Period): (a) reveal, report, publish, disclose or transfer any Confidential Information to any Person (other than PeopleNet International Corporation or its Affiliates); (b) use any Confidential Information for any purpose; or (c) use any Confidential Information for the benefit of any Person (other than PeopleNet International Corporation or its Affiliates).
    4. Representations and Warranties.

PC and the undersigned shareholder's representations and warranties shall survive the expiration of the Non-competition Period for an unlimited period of time.
    5. Specific Performance. PC and the undersigned shareholder agree that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach by PC and the undersigned shareholder of any covenant or obligation contained in this Non-competition Agreement, PeopleNet International Corporation and the other Indemnitees shall be entitled (in addition to any other remedy that may be available to it or them, including monetary damages) to seek and obtain (a) a decree or order of specific performance to enforce the observance and performance of such covenant or obligation, and (b) an injunction restraining such breach or threatened breach. PC and the undersigned shareholder further agree that no Indemnitee shall be required to obtain, furnish or post any bond or similar instrument in connection with or as a condition to obtaining any remedy referred to in this Section 5, and PC and the undersigned shareholder irrevocably waive any right we may have to require any Indemnitee to obtain, furnish or post any such bond or similar instrument.
    6. Indemnification. Without in any way limiting any of the rights or remedies otherwise available to any of the Indemnitees, PC and the undersigned shareholder shall indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnitee against and from any loss, damage, injury, harm, detriment, lost opportunity, liability, exposure, claim, demand, settlement, judgment, award, fine, penalty, tax, fee (including attorneys' fees), charge or expense (whether or not relating to any third-party claim) that is directly or indirectly suffered or incurred at any time (whether during or after the Non-competition Period) by such Indemnitee, or to which such Indemnitee otherwise becomes subject at any time (whether during or after the Non-competition Period), and that arises directly or indirectly out of or by virtue of, or relates directly or indirectly to, (a) any inaccuracy in or breach of any representation or warranty contained in this Non-competition Agreement, or (b) any failure on the part of PC and the undersigned shareholder to observe, perform or abide by, or any other breach of, any restriction, covenant, obligation or other provision contained in this Non-competition Agreement.
    7. Non-Exclusivity. The rights and remedies of PeopleNet International Corporation and the other Indemnitees under this Non-competition Agreement are not exclusive of or limited by any other rights or remedies which they may have, whether at law, in equity, by contract or otherwise, all of which shall be cumulative (and not alternative).
