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 />

(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 />
