Re: Non-Disclosure Agreement<br />

Dear Mr <strong>Garde</strong>,<br />

This Non Disclosure Agreement between Mr. <strong>Mike</strong> <strong>Garde</strong>, <strong>Dialogue</strong> <strong>Ireland</strong> Trust and affiliated entities<br />

(hereinafter referred to as MG) and Donald Campbell (hereinafter referred to as DC or Client) is entered<br />

into as it is anticipated that DC and/or any affiliated entities will provide MG with certain Confidential<br />

Information. MG agrees that this Confidential Information will be kept confidential to himself only and<br />

to no other person or entity without the written permission of DC.<br />

In consideration of and as a condition to DC providing such Confidential Information, MG agrees<br />

to the terms and conditions set forth in this letter agreement.<br />

1. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY NATURE OF THE INFORMATION<br />

MG acknowledges the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information, agrees<br />

to hold and keep the Confidential Information as provided in this letter agreement, and otherwise agrees<br />

to each and every restriction and obligation in this letter agreement.<br />

2. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION<br />

As used in this letter agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means and includes any<br />

and all of the following items that has been or may hereafter be disclosed to MG by the DC: proprietary<br />

or non-public information concerning the business and affairs of DC, including without limitation<br />

financial statements; reports and data; past, current or planned investment or portfolio information;<br />

contracts and agreements; know-how, inventions and ideas, whether past, current or planned; business<br />

plans; business entity structure details; all regulatory and/or compliance related reports, records and<br />

information; and any other information, however documented, that is proprietary to DC and his affiliates<br />

or is a trade secret within the meaning of applicable state trade secret law.<br />

3. RESTRICTED USE OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION<br />

MG agrees that the Confidential Information (a) will be kept confidential by MG and (b) without limiting<br />

the foregoing, will not be disclosed by MG to any person except as expressly otherwise permitted by this<br />

letter agreement. It is understood that MG may not disclose Confidential Information to his directors,<br />

officers, employees, agents, affiliates, consultants, advisors or other representatives, including legal<br />

counsel, accountants and financial advisors (collectively “Representatives”) who (i) require such material

for the purpose of evaluating the information and will not publish as such information in any form of<br />

media including printed publication and electronic publications and communications.<br />

4. NONDISCLOSURE<br />

Except as expressly permitted by a separate definitive agreement with respect to any relationship<br />

or Transaction, if any, entered into between the parties, neither MG nor its Representatives will disclose<br />

to any person the fact that the Confidential Information has been disclosed to MG or its Representatives,<br />

or that any discussions or negotiations are taking place concerning any relationship or Transaction. MG<br />

waives his right to rely on any and all previous court decision, judgments, views for protection from<br />

breach of this agreement.<br />

5. EXCEPTIONS<br />

All of the foregoing obligations and restrictions do not apply to that part of the Confidential<br />

Information that (a) was or becomes generally available to the public prior to, and other than as a result<br />

of, a disclosure by DC or its Representatives or (b) was available, or becomes available, to MG on a nonconfidential<br />

basis prior to its disclosure to MG provided, however, the source of such information is not<br />

bound by a confidentiality agreement with DC or is not otherwise prohibited from transmitting the<br />

information to MG or its Representatives by a contractual, legal, fiduciary or other obligation, or.<br />

6. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS<br />

If MG or any of its Representatives becomes legally compelled (by oral questions,<br />

interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil or criminal investigative demand,<br />

or similar process) to make any disclosure that is prohibited or otherwise constrained by this letter<br />

agreement, MG or its Representative, as the case may be, will provide DC with prompt notice of such<br />

legal proceedings so DC may (i) seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate relief, or (ii)<br />

waive compliance with the provisions of this letter agreement. In the absence of a protective order or MG<br />

receiving such a waiver from the DC, MG or its Representatives are permitted to disclose that portion<br />

(and only that portion) of the Confidential Information that MG or its Representative is legally compelled<br />

to disclose; provided, however, that MG and its Representatives must use reasonable efforts to obtain<br />

reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded by any person to whom any Confidential<br />

Information is so disclosed.<br />

7. NO OBLIGATION TO NEGOTIATE A TRANSACTION<br />

None of the parties shall have rights or obligations of any kind whatsoever with respect to any<br />

Transaction by virtue of this letter agreement other than for the matters specifically agreed to herein.<br />

Without limiting the preceding sentences, nothing in this letter agreement requires any party to enter into<br />

any Transaction or to negotiate the same for any specified period of time.<br />

8. MISCELLANEOUS<br />

(a) Modification. This letter agreement and the agreements set forth in this letter agreement<br />

may be modified or waived only by a separate writing signed by the party or parties expressly modifying<br />

(b) Waiver. Neither the failure nor any delay by any party in exercising any right, power, or<br />

privilege under this letter agreement will operate as a waiver of such right, power, or privilege, and no<br />

single or partial exercise of any such right, power, or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise<br />

of such right, power, or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power, or privilege.<br />

(c) Person. The term “person” means any individual, corporation (including any non-profit<br />

corporation), general or limited partnership, limited liability company, joint venture, estate, trust,<br />

association, organization, labor union, or other entity or governmental body.<br />

(d) Severability. The invalidity or unenforceability of any provision of this letter agreement<br />

shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other provisions of this letter agreement, which shall<br />

remain in full force and effect. If any of the covenants or provisions of this letter agreement are<br />

determined to be unenforceable by reason of its extent, duration, scope or otherwise, then the parties<br />

contemplate that the court making such determination shall reduce such extent, duration, scope or other<br />

provision and enforce them in their reduced form for all purposes contemplated by this letter agreement.<br />

(e) Breach. MG agrees that the DC will be irreparably injured by a breach of this letter<br />

agreement by MG or its Representatives, that monetary remedies may be inadequate to protect the DC<br />

against any actual or threatened breach of this letter agreement by MG or by its Representatives, and that<br />

the DC shall be entitled to an injunction or other equitable relief as a remedy for any breach as a matter of<br />

right and without the necessity of having to post a bond. Such remedy shall not be deemed to be the<br />

exclusive remedy for a breach of this letter agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies<br />

available at law or equity.<br />

(f) Governing Law; Jurisdiction. This letter agreement will be governed by the laws of the<br />

United Kingdom of Great Britain and N <strong>Ireland</strong> and also of The Republic of <strong>Ireland</strong> without regard to<br />

conflicts of laws principles. The parties agree that the sole and exclusive jurisdiction and venue for any<br />

action or proceeding seeking to enforce any provision of, or based on any right arising out of, this letter<br />

agreement shall be in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and N <strong>Ireland</strong> or, if it has or can acquire<br />

jurisdiction, in the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York, and each of the<br />

parties consents to the jurisdiction of such courts (and of the appropriate appellate courts) in any such<br />

action or proceeding and waives any objection to personal jurisdiction, venue, and inconvenient forum<br />

laid therein. Process and any action or proceeding referred to in the preceding sentence may be served on<br />

any party anywhere in the world.<br />

(g) Headings. The headings of the sections of this letter agreement are inserted for<br />

convenience of reference only and shall not control or affect the meaning or construction of any of the<br />

terms of this letter agreement in any manner.<br />

(h) Construction. This letter agreement has been fully negotiated by the parties.<br />

Accordingly, in interpreting this letter agreement, no weight shall be placed on which party to this letter<br />

agreement or its counsel drafted the provision being interpreted.<br />

(i) Execution of Agreement. This letter agreement may be executed in one or more<br />

counterparts, each of which will be deemed to be an original copy of this letter agreement, and all of<br />

which, when taken together, shall be deemed to constitute one and the same agreement. The exchange of<br />

copies of this letter agreement and of signature pages by facsimile transmission shall constitute effective<br />

execution and delivery of this letter agreement as to the parties and may be used in lieu of the original
