7. Non-Disparagement & Confidentiality.

Each Party agrees that it will forever refrain and forbear from disclosing the terms of this Agreement to anyone other than counsel for the parties and/or the parties’ financial advisors to the extent necessary for the preparation of tax returns and/or financial statements, and spouses of individual parties, except for purposes of enforcing the provisions of this Agreement, to the extent disclosure of this Agreement is required by applicable laws and regulations, or pursuant to a specific order requiring disclosure of this Agreement issued by a court of competent jurisdiction.

8. Liquidated Damages. In the event that any Party violates the Non-Disparagement and Confidentiality provisions set forth in Section 7 hereinabove, the violating Party shall immediately pay to the Party that has been disparaged, or about whom the violating Party disclosed confidential information, liquidated damages in the amount of $50,000.00, and an additional $50,000.00 for each violation thereafter. The Parties have computed and agreed upon the sum of $50,000.00 per violation as a reasonable forecast of the actual loss to any Party resulting from the violation of Section 7 of this Agreement. The Parties further agree that the liquidated damages provided for herein are not a “penalty” for violating this Agreement, but rather are fair and reasonable amounts that would compensate a Party for the damages sustained due to a breach of Section 7 of this Agreement.

7

The Parties acknowledge and agree that the publication of the joint written statement contemplated herein shall not constitute a violation of Section 7 of this Agreement.

10. Compromise of Disputed Claims. This Agreement is the compromise of disputed claims arising out of, connected with, and relating to the Action, and is not an admission of liability of any Party, all of whom expressly deny any liability.

11. Attorneys’ Fees. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses, including attorneys’ fees, in connection with the Action, including the preparation, negotiation, and execution of this Agreement. If there is a breach of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party shall be entitled to recover the reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of that Party in enforcing this Agreement against the breaching Party, whether or not the non-breaching Party commences an action.

12. Governing Law and Jurisdiction. Without regard to the principles of conflict of laws, Nevada law shall govern the construction, effect and validity of this Agreement.
