NON-DISCLOSURE AND NON-CIRCUMVENTION AGREEMENT

 

It is understood that a business relationship may be established between, Weston Capital Quest Corporation, a Florida corporation, (hereinafter referred to as “WCQ”) and Rock Energy Partners L.P. (hereinafter referred to as “Recipient”) and it will be necessary for WCQ to furnish to Recipient certain confidential, proprietary information which WCQ regards as valuable and confidential (hereinafter the “Information”).

 

In consideration of the foregoing, and in order to induce WCQ to furnish certain Information to Recipient, Recipient agrees that it will use the Information solely in connection with the contemplated business relationship and that it will not disclose it to others, except employees and agents of Recipient who are required by their duties to have knowledge thereof.  All employees and agents of Recipient who have received any Information shall be instructed as to its confidential nature and shall agree not to disclose the Information for any purpose not related to the contemplated business relationship. The undersigned agrees to use at least the same degree of care to avoid disclosure or use of such Information as they employ with respect to their own proprietary, confidential information of like importance.

 

Neither Recipient nor any of its employees or agents will disclose any of the Information to any person or entity without the prior written consent of WCQ, except as required by applicable law or legal process, as to which Recipient will give WCQ prompt notice and consult with WCQ on the advisability of seeking a protective order or other means to preserve the confidential treatment of such non-public Information required to be disclosed.

 

Recipient agrees not to make any copies or reproduce in any manner whatsoever any or all of the Information.

 

Recipient agrees to indemnify and hold WCQ harmless from and against any and all losses, damages, costs and expenses including, without limitation, any and all reasonable fees and disbursements to legal counsel (whether incurred in connection with suit, appeal or otherwise) paid, incurred or suffered by WCQ as the result of, arising from or in connection with the breach or violation of any of the covenants and agreements set forth herein.

 

Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to the other any Information, and except as otherwise provided herein, nothing herein shall obligate either party to enter into any other agreement or arrangement with the other.

 

At the conclusion of the relationship, or earlier upon request of WCQ, Recipient shall return to WCQ all documents, memoranda, notes and other writings constituting the Information supplied and will not retain any copies, extracts or other reproductions of such documents, in whole or in part.

 

Recipient agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, it will not, directly or indirectly, utilize the Information to the detriment of WCQ.  In particular, but not in limitation of the foregoing, Recipient shall not enter into any agreements or

transactions with any person or entity introduced to Recipient by WCQ, directly or indirectly, without the prior written consent of WCQ.

 

Recipient agrees not to circumvent, avoid or bypass WCQ, either directly or indirectly, for the payment of fees, commissions or other benefit, either financially or otherwise, from Information supplied to Recipient or individuals or business entities introduced to Recipient by WCQ.

 

As used in this Agreement, the term “Information” shall include but not be limited to names, addresses, telephone numbers and contact information of potential lenders, investors, investment bankers, and similar financial professionals, all information processes, methods practices, fabrications, techniques, technical plans, computer programs and related documentation, marketing plans, financial information, copyright material and other written materials, and any other compilations of information, in whatever form contained, which relate to the proposed business relationship between WCQ and Recipient, which have not otherwise been disclosed by WCQ to the general public, and which have been delivered or otherwise disclosed to Recipient.

 

The term “Information” shall not include information that:

 

(a) is part of the public domain prior to the date of disclosure by WCQ to Recipient;

(b) becomes part of the public domain not due to any unauthorized act by or omission of Recipient after the date of disclosure by WCQ; or

(c) Recipient can demonstrate it had independently developed or had knowledge prior to disclosure to it by WCQ.

 

Recipient acknowledges and agrees that WCQ’s remedy at law for any breach under this Agreement would be inadequate and therefore agrees and consents that temporary and permanent injunctive relief may be granted in any proceeding which may be brought to enforce any provision of this Agreement or any threatened breach thereof, without the necessity of proof of inadequate remedy at law or actual damage, and without being required to post a bond.  If the scope of any restriction contained in this Agreement is too broad to permit enforcement of such restriction to its full extent, then such restriction shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by law, and the undersigned agrees that such scope may be judicially modified accordingly in any proceeding brought to enforce such restriction.

 

Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement shall survive the termination of the business relationship, if any, between WCQ and Recipient, regardless of the manner of such termination and shall be binding upon the Recipient and shall inure to the benefit of WCQ, their heirs, personal representatives, successors and assigns.

 

No failure or delay by WCQ in exercising any right, power, or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise of any right, power or privilege granted hereunder.

 

This Agreement contains the complete and entire understanding of the parties with regard to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions, proposals, agreements or understandings, either written or oral, between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof.

This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of Florida.  Venue for any litigation between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof shall be proper only in Broward County, Florida.  The prevailing party in any such litigation shall be entitled to reimbursement of its costs and reasonable attorney’s fees incurred in connection with such litigation in addition to any other relief to which it may be granted.

 

This Agreement may not be amended except in writing signed by an authorized representative of the respective parties.

 

This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which, taken together, shall constitute one and the same agreement. Signed copies of this Agreement may be transmitted by facsimile machine, and such signed copies transmitted via facsimile machine shall be deemed as originals.
