ARTICLE 4
PROTECTION OF FIBROBETON TRADE SECRETS

4.1. Identification of Fibrobeton Trade Secrets.

The Parties acknowledge that it is not intended that Fibrobeton impart its technology or trade secrets to the Corporation or, through the Corporation, to NTI. The Parties recognize, however, that Fibrobeton may impart information to the Corporation to further the Corporation’s Business, which Fibrobeton considers to be proprietary in nature and thus wishes to be kept confidential, and that such Fibrobeton Trade Secrets may come to be imparted to NTI through the Corporation. In order for such information to be considered under the category of Fibrobeton Trade Secrets, Fibrobeton must alert the Corporation and NTI to the fact that it intends to impart information it considers proprietary to the Corporation, in writing, in advance of imparting such information, and clearly identify such information as a Fibrobeton Trade Secret (“Fibrobeton Trade Secrets”).

4.2. Protection of Fibrobeton Trade Secrets.

Fibro-NTI agrees that during the term of this Management Agreement, as well as following its termination and for all times thereafter, it shall keep secret and confidential all Fibrobeton Trade Secrets which it now knows or may hereafter come to know as a result of the Shareholders Joint Venture Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements. Fibrobeton Trade Secrets shall not be disclosed by Fibro-NTI to third parties and shall be kept secret and confidential, except (i) to the extent that the same have entered into the public domain by means other than the improper actions of Fibro-NTI, or (ii) to the extent that the disclosure thereof may be required pursuant to the order of any court or other governmental body. If a Fibrobeton Trade Secret shall be in the public domain as the result of an act by Fibro-NTI or any Agent thereof, then Fibro-NTI shall nevertheless continue to keep such Fibrobeton Trade Secret secret and inviolate.

4.3. Protection of Fibrobeton Trade Secrets by Agents of Fibro-NTI.

Neither Fibro-NTI, nor its Agents (as hereinafter defined), shall at any time copy, remove from their proper location - be it within the Corporation or elsewhere - or retain without Fibrobeton’s prior written consent, the originals or copies of any Fibrobeton Trade Secrets. It is understood that from time to time it may be necessary that certain of the foregoing items be copied or removed from their location; however, this shall be done subject to the requirement of this Article that the original material be returned to its proper location as soon as possible and that the confidential nature and integrity of the foregoing as Fibrobeton Trade Secrets be strictly maintained both as to original documents and copies thereof.

	4.3.1.	Insofar as the officers, employees and consultants of Fibro-NTI (herein collectively “Agents”) who come in contact with Fibrobeton Trade Secrets are concerned, Fibro-NTI shall cause such Agents to enter into Fibrobeton Trade Secrecy Agreements substantially in the form of Appendix V to this Agreement. Fibro-NTI shall exert its best efforts to cause its Agents to adhere to and to abide by the provisions, restrictions and limitations of the Fibrobeton Trade Secrecy Agreements which efforts shall include the institution and prosecution of appropriate litigation if such be necessary and desirable.

	4.3.2.	The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that Fibrobeton is an intended third party beneficiary of the Fibrobeton Trade Secrecy Agreements, and that Fibrobeton may in its sole discretion, on its own behalf or derivatively and/or on behalf of the Corporation directly enforce the provisions of the Fibrobeton Trade Secrecy Agreements and/or any breach thereof against any and all Agents of Fibro-NTI (as defined in Article 4.3.1 hereof) who have executed same.

4.4. Remedies in the Event of a Violation of Article 4 Hereof.

It is understood and recognized by Fibro-NTI that in the event of any violation by Fibro-NTI and/or its Agents of the provisions of Article 4 hereof, Fibrobeton’s remedy at law will be inadequate and Fibrobeton will suffer irreparable injury. Accordingly, Fibro-NTI consents to injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief upon the institution of legal proceedings therefor by Fibrobeton and in any court of competent jurisdiction to protect Fibrobeton Trade Secrets. Such relief shall be in addition to any other relief to which Fibrobeton may be entitled at law or in equity, which shall include but not be limited to the right of immediate termination of this Management Agreement.

DOCTRINE OF “CORPORATE OPPORTUNITY”

5.1. Doctrine of Corporate Opportunity and Observance Thereof.

Consequently, the Parties to each agreement cited above hereby renounce and covenant not to engage in any activity which would either (a) negatively impact the performance of their duties under the Shareholders Joint Venture Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements in the Territory, or (b) have the effect of displacing or substituting Net Sales of Product and/or of Other Agreed Upon Technologies, and/or the application of NTI Intellectual Property Rights, in the Territory; except as specifically agreed to by the Parties in furtherance of the Corporation’s Business (“Corporate Opportunity”).

5.2. Agreement Not to Divert Resources.

Fibrobeton and Fibro-NTI agree that during the term of this Management Agreement they shall not, directly or indirectly, in any capacity whatsoever, engage in, own, manage, operate, control, act as a consultant to, have a financial interest in, or otherwise participate in the ownership, licensing, management, operation or control of, a business which would impede, substitute, displace or divert Net Sales of Product and/or of Other Agreed Upon Technologies from the Corporation within the Territory except through the Corporation in furtherance of the Corporation’s Business. During said term Fibrobeton shall not in any way, directly or indirectly, divert, take away or interfere with or attempt to divert, take away or interfere with, any of the customers, accounts, suppliers, employees, representatives or patronage of the Corporation. In the event that this Management Agreement is terminated: (i) because of a material Breach of the Shareholders Joint Venture Agreement by a Party; (ii) because of a material Breach of any Ancillary Agreement by a Party; (iii) upon the bankruptcy or other adverse condition of a Party as described in Article 6 hereof; (iv) pursuant to Article 7 hereof; or (v) upon a Breach of Article 4 or 5 hereof, then the Party in Breach or subject to such adverse condition shall continue to be bound by the provisions of Article 4 of this Management Agreement for a period of three years following the date of termination, but Fibro-NTI shall at no time be permitted to use Fibrobeton Trade Secrets, for any activity outside the Corporation, including but not limited to such activities which would have the effect of diverting resources from the Corporation.

5.3. Remedies for Breach of Agreement Not to Divert Resources.

It is understood and recognized by the Parties that in the event of a violation of the provisions of Article 5 hereof by a Party, the remedy at law will be inadequate and that the other Party to this Management Agreement shall suffer irreparable injury. Accordingly, each Party to this Management Agreement consents to injunctive or other appropriate equitable relief upon the institution of legal proceedings therefor by the non-violating Party. Such relief shall be in addition to any other relief to which a Party may be entitled at law or in equity, which shall include, but not be limited to, the right of immediate termination of this Management Agreement.

9.6. Force Majeure.

In the event that a Party is prevented or delayed from performing, fulfilling or completing an obligation provided for in this Management Agreement as a result of delays caused by strikes, lock-outs, unavailability of materials, acts of God, acts of any national, state or local governmental agency or authority of a foreign government, war, insurrection, rebellion, riot, civil disorder, fire, explosion or the elements, then the time for performance, fulfillment or completion shall be extended for a period not exceeding the number of days by which the same was so delayed.

Any amendment or supplement to this Management Agreement, the Shareholders Joint Venture Agreement and the other Ancillary Agreements must, however, be clearly identified as such and set forth in writing (“Supplemental Documents”).

In the event that a provision of this Management Agreement, the Shareholders Joint Venture Agreement, or any other Ancillary Agreement shall be declared to be invalid, then the Parties agree that they shall, in good faith, negotiate with one another to replace such invalid provision with a valid provision as similar as possible to that which had been held to be invalid, giving due recognition to the reason for which such provision had been held invalid.
