circumstances surrounding disclosure ought to be treated as confidential
information or trade secrets of the Owner. Each party hereto, as a Recipient,
hereby agrees that it shall not hereafter (and shall use commercially reasonable
efforts to ensure that its Affiliates, officers, directors, employees and
consultants do not) in any manner, directly or indirectly (i) transmit, disclose
or otherwise communicate or make available any such confidential information or
trade secrets to any third party, or (ii) use the same for its own account or

other rights and remedies it may have, to obtain in any court of competent
jurisdiction injunctive relief or other equitable relief with regard to any
breach or threatened breach thereof or otherwise specifically enforce the
provisions of this Agreement without proof of actual damages.
(d) The parties each agree as follows:

respect to all such confidential information and trade secrets of the Owner that
is disclosed and subject to this Agreement shall survive termination of this
Agreement and shall remain in effect for a period of five (5) years from the

information owned by Company shall be deemed to be owned by INFOCURE as of the

behalf with counsel of their own choosing at their expense. Any payment or
settlement resulting from such contest, together with the total expense thereof,

9.5 RESOLUTION OF DISPUTES. In the event of any dispute between
INFOCURE and the Shareholders over any claim by or on behalf of INFOCURE or the
Shareholders for indemnification under this Section IX and the parties are
unable to resolve such dispute, either party may submit the dispute to binding
arbitration as hereinafter provided. The arbitration shall be in accordance with
the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association ("AAA")
then in effect. The arbitration shall be held before three arbitrators, unless
the amount in dispute is less than One Hundred Thousand Dollars ($100,000), in
which event the arbitration shall be held before one arbitrator. In the event
the arbitration is to be held before three arbitrators, the Shareholders and
INFOCURE shall each appoint one arbitrator within thirty (30) days of the
receipt of notice by the party commencing the arbitration which includes a copy
of the petition filed with the AAA. The arbitrators shall select the third
arbitrator. In the event the two arbitrators fail to do so within fifteen (15)
days of their appointment or in the event a party hereto fails to designate an
arbitrator or in the event only one arbitrator is to be appointed, such
arbitrator(s) shall be appointed by the AAA. The arbitrator(s) shall be
knowledgeable in the business of software distribution. All decisions by the
arbitrators shall be by majority vote of the arbitrators. The award of the
arbitrator(s) shall be binding on the parties hereto and such awards may be
entered in any applicable court. The arbitration and all hearings in connection
therewith shall be held in Georgia. The arbitrator(s) shall have no authority to
award punitive damages or any other awards other than as herein contemplated.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties hereto may seek in a court proceeding
a restraining order, or a preliminary or permanent injunction as permitted by
law or equity whenever applicable to enjoin the unauthorized use of the
confidential information or trade secret of a party hereto or as otherwise
provided herein. All parties hereto agree to service by mail in any such
proceedings.

connected in any manner or have any other direct or indirect
30
35

or its successor.
(d) Each state of the United States and each month of time
covered by this covenant not to compete shall be deemed a severable unit, and
should any court determine that the inclusion of all such states or months would
render any such undertaking unreasonable or unenforceable for any reason, those
units which are necessary in the judgment of the court to be deleted in order to
render such undertaking reasonable and enforceable shall be deemed free of such
non-compete undertaking but such undertaking shall remain in full force and
effect as to each other unit of territory or time.
(e) Each Shareholder agrees that in addition to any other
rights and remedies available to INFOCURE for any breach by a Shareholder of his
obligations under this Section X, INFOCURE shall be entitled to enforcement of

of this Agreement as fully and completely as any Shareholder could do if

The appointment of the Shareholders' Representative shall be deemed coupled with
an interest and shall be irrevocable and the INFOCURE may conclusively and
absolutely rely, without inquiry, upon any actions of the Shareholders'
Representative evidenced by a writing as the act of the Shareholder in all
matters referred to in this Agreement and the Escrow Agreement. With respect to
each Shareholder who is a natural person, the authority conferred by such
Shareholder shall not be revoked by such Shareholder's death or physical or
mental disability. In the event Shareholders' Representative refuses to serve as
Shareholders' Representative or service in such capacity is terminated for any
reason, a successor Shareholders' Representative may be designated by a writing
executed by the Shareholders who held a majority of the common stock of Company
listed on Exhibit 3.01(f) of the Disclosure Schedule. The Shareholders'
Representative shall not be responsible to the Shareholders for any loss or
damage the Shareholders may suffer by reason of the performance of the
Shareholders' Representative of his duties under this Agreement, other than loss
or damage arising from willful violation of law or gross negligence in the
performance of his duties under this Agreement.
