in the conduct of its business, information concerning the source, nature and type of products and

valuable, special and unique assets of Corporation and such information is confidential
information in which Corporation has a protectable interest. Subcontractor also acknowledges
that such information constitutes a trade secret as defined by the Uniform Trade Secrets Act,
enacted in Ohio as I.C. §24-2-3-1, et seq. Subcontractor will not, during the term of this

in part, any such information, or from rendering any service to any person, firm, corporation or
other entity to whom such information, in whole or in part, has been disclosed or has threatened

to be disclosed. It is agreed that such disclosure of any such information would cause irreparable
harm to Corporation that could not be properly compensated for by damages. Nothing herein

remedies available to Corporation for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of
damages from Subcontractor.

Corporation hereby agree that if Subcontractor violates any part of this Agreement or any Agreement with
Corporation, Subcontractor shall pay or cause to be paid to Corporation liquidated damages in the sum of
ninety percent (90%) of the net revenues received by Corporation for work performed by

covenants, then Subcontractor shall pay all reasonable costs of enforcement of the foregoing
covenants including, but not limited to, court costs and reasonable attorney’s fees and expenses.
