utilizing his skills, education, experience and knowledge.

8. Moyer will cooperate with EDGAR and its subsidiaries or affiliates in any
proceedings against EDGAR about which he may have knowledge of the facts
involved. Moyer will make himself available voluntarily to discuss and testify

hereof.

9. Moyer hereby certifies that he:

any representations to Moyer concerning the terms or effects of this Agreement
other than those contained herein.

10. This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted under, the laws of the

have any obligations thereunder. Because of this Revocation Period, EDGAR and
Moyer agree that the Agreement and Release will be “effective” on the 8th day
after execution of the Release, provided that Moyer does not timely deliver to
EDGAR written notice of his revocation.

for signing this Agreement, and that no other representations, promises, or
agreements of any kind have been made to them by any person or entity whatsoever

Ladies and Gentlemen:

1. General. Simultaneously herewith, the undersigned and EDGAR Online, Inc., a
Delaware corporation (the “Company”) are entering into an Employment Agreement
pursuant to which the undersigned will be the President of the Company (the
“Employment Agreement”). Capitalized terms used herein but not defined herein
(this “Agreement”) shall have the meanings given to such terms in the Employment
Agreement.

2. Non-Compete/Solicitation/Non-Servicing Agreement.

(a) I hereby covenant and agree that from the date hereof through the Term and
for a period of twelve (12) months thereafter (the “Restricted Period”), I will
not, as an individual, employee, consultant, independent contractor, partner,
shareholder, member or in association with any other Person, except on behalf of
the Company, directly or indirectly, and regardless of my continuing to be
employed by the Company or the reason for my ceasing to be employed by the
Company:

(i) attempt in any manner to engage, directly or indirectly, in any business
activities that is competitive with the Business of the Company anywhere in the
world;

(ii) attempt in any manner to solicit or accept from any client business of the
type performed by the Company or to persuade any client to cease to do business

or is reasonably expected to do with the Company, whether or not the
relationship between the Company and such client was originally established in
whole or in part through my efforts;

(iii) employ as an employee or retain as a consultant any person, firm or entity
who is then or at any time during the preceding twelve months was an employee of
or exclusive consultant to the Company, or persuade or attempt to persuade any
employee of or exclusive consultant to the Company to leave the employ of the
Company or to become employed as an employee or retained as a consultant by any
other Person; or

(iv) render to or for any client any services of the type which are rendered by
the Company.

As used herein, (A) the term “Company” shall include any subsidiaries of the
Company, if any; (B) the term “client” shall mean (i) anyone who is a client of
the Company at the time of the termination of my employment, or if my employment

such applicable date being called the “Determination Date”); (ii) anyone who was
a client of the Company at any time during the one year period immediately
preceding the Determination Date; (iii) any prospective client to whom the
Company had made a new business presentation (or similar offering of services)
at any time during the one year period immediately preceding the Determination
Date; and (iv) any prospective client to whom the Company made a new business
presentation (or similar offering of services) at any time within six months
after my employment with the Company terminated (but only if initial discussions
between the Company and such prospective client relating to the rendering of
services occurred prior to the Determination Date, and only if I participated in
or supervised such discussions or the preparation thereof); and (C) the term
“Business” shall mean (i) the provision of access to financial filings, (ii) the
provision of end user analysis tools and public filing information in industry

filing data and the Company’s specialized end-user analysis tools on a
subscription basis to

 

11

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

end users, financial institutions, public stock exchanges, legal organizations
and government entities; to further clarify the meaning of the term “Business”,
the Company’s primary competitors are companies that specialize in providing
similar access to company financial filings on a real-time or historical basis,
such companies include: UBMatrix, CoreFilings, Capital IQ, FactSet, Reuters,
Moodys, SNL, Thomson, McGraw Hill, and Standards & Poors, but, on the other
hand, the Company does not consider companies using general purpose tools and
information providers such as Microsoft, Google, Yahoo, AOL, Graphwise, etc. to
be involved in the “business” or to be competitors of the Company. For purposes
of this Agreement, it is agreed that a general mailing or an incidental contact
shall not be deemed a “new business presentation (or similar offering of
services)” or a “discussion”. At no time during the Restricted Period will the
undersigned use or authorize the use of the name “GC Marketing” or any variation
thereof, as the whole or part of any trade name or style for any Person.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall limit my ability
to make a “Passive Investment” (as that term is defined in the Employment
Agreement) and I shall not be deemed to be in breach of any of the foregoing
covenants by virtue of the actions or inactions of any entity in which I
maintain any Passive Investment. Nor shall I be deemed to be in breach of this
Agreement pursuant to Section 2(a)(ii) or 2(a)(iii) if such actions are
undertaken by an entity with whom I am employed, consulting, or to whom I am
acting as an independent contractor unless I have control over such Person.

3. Acknowledgements.

(a) I acknowledge (i) that my position and employment with the Company is
governed by the Employment Agreement; (ii) that the business and the industry in
which the Company competes is highly competitive; (iii) that as a key executive
of the Company I have participated in or will participate in the servicing of
current clients and/or the solicitation of prospective clients, through which,
among other things, I have obtained and will continue to obtain knowledge of the
“know-how” and business practices of the Company, in which matters the Company
has a substantial proprietary interest; (iv) that my employment with the Company
requires the performance of services which are of a special, unique,
extraordinary and intellectual character, and my position with the Company
placed me and will continue to place me in a position of confidence and trust
with the clients and employees of the Company; and (v) that my rendering of
services to the clients of the Company necessarily required the disclosure to me
of confidential information of the Company or will require the disclosure to me
of, and the Company will so disclose to me, Confidential Information of the
Company. In the course of my employment with the Company, I have developed or
will develop a personal relationship with the clients of the Company and a
knowledge of those clients’ affairs and requirements, and the relationship of
the Company with its established clientele will therefore be placed in my hands
in confidence and trust. I consequently agree that it is a legitimate interest
of the Company and reasonable and necessary for the protection of the
confidential information, goodwill and business of the Company, which is
valuable to the Company, that I make the covenants contained herein and that the
Company would not have entered into the Employment Agreement unless the
covenants set forth in this Agreement were agreed to by me.

(b) The parties acknowledge that (i) the type and periods of restriction imposed
in the provisions of paragraph 2 above are fair and reasonable and are
reasonably required in order to protect and maintain the proprietary interests
of the Company described above, other legitimate business interests of the
Company and the goodwill associated with the business of the Company, including
without limitation, the interest in the business acquired by the Company
pursuant to the Employment Agreement, (ii) the business I will be engaging in
will be conducted throughout the United States and (iii) the time, scope,
geographic area and other provisions of paragraph 2 above have been specifically
negotiated by sophisticated commercial parties, represented by legal counsel,
and are given as an integral part of the transactions contemplated by the
Employment Agreement. It is further understood and agreed that the clients of
the Company may be serviced from any location and accordingly it is reasonable
that the covenants set forth herein are not limited by narrow geographic area
but generally by the location of such clients and potential clients. I
specifically acknowledge that my being restricted from servicing clients as
contemplated by this Agreement will not prevent me from being employed or
earning a livelihood in the type of business conducted by the Company. In the
event that any covenant contained in this Agreement shall be determined by any
court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable by reason
of its extending for too great a period of time or over too great a geographical
area or by reason of its being too extensive in any other respect, (x) such
covenant shall be interpreted to extend only over the maximum period of time for
which it may be enforceable and/or over the maximum geographical area as to
which it may be enforceable and/or to the maximum extent in all other respects
as to which it may be enforceable, all as determined by such court or other
tribunal making such determination, and (y) in its reduced form, such covenant
shall then be enforceable, but such reduced form of covenant shall only apply
with respect to the operation of such covenant in the particular jurisdiction in
or for which such adjudication is made. In the event any provision of this
Agreement is found to be void and unenforceable by a court or other tribunal of
competent jurisdiction, the remaining

 

12

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless be binding upon the parties
hereto with the same effect as though the void or unenforceable part had never
been a part hereof or had been severed and deleted or reformed to be
enforceable. Each of the covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement
(collectively, the “Protective Covenants”) is separate, distinct and severable.
All rights, remedies and benefits expressly provided for in this Agreement are
cumulative and are not exclusive of any rights, remedies or benefits provided
for by law, this Agreement or otherwise, and the exercise of any remedy by a
party hereto shall not be deemed an election to the exclusion of any other
remedy (any such claim by the other party being hereby waived). The existence of
any claim, demand, action or cause of action that I have against the Company,
whether predicated on this Agreement or otherwise, shall not constitute a
defense to the enforcement of each Protective Covenant or any other provision or
provisions of this Agreement. The unenforceability of any Protective Covenant
shall not affect the validity or enforceability of any other Protective Covenant
or any other provision or provisions of this Agreement. The temporal duration of
the Protective Covenants shall not expire, and shall be tolled, during any
period in which I am in violation of any of the Protective Covenants, and all
restrictions shall automatically be extended by the period of my violation of
any such restrictions.

4. [Intentionally deleted].

5. Specific Performance. I acknowledge that a breach of the covenants contained
in this Agreement will cause the Company irreparable damage, the exact amount of
which will be impossible or difficult to ascertain, and that the remedies at law
for any such breach will be inadequate. Accordingly, I agree that the Company
shall, in addition to all other available remedies (including without limitation
seeking such damages as it can show it has sustained by reason of such breach),
be entitled to specific performance and injunctive relief without being required
to post bond or other security and without having to prove the inadequacy of the
available remedies at law.

6. Assignment. The parties hereto agree that the Company shall have the right to
assign this Agreement, and accordingly, this Agreement shall inure to the
benefit of, and may be enforced by, any and all successors and assigns of the
Company, including, without limitation, by asset assignment, stock sale, merger,
consolidation or other corporate reorganization. My obligations under this
Agreement are personal to me, and I shall not have the right to assign or
otherwise transfer my obligations hereunder. Any purported assignment or
transfer by me shall be void and ineffective.

7. Notice During Restricted Period. Prior to accepting employment with any
person, firm or entity during the Restricted Period, I shall notify the
prospective employer in writing of my obligations pursuant to this Agreement and
shall simultaneously provide a copy of such notice to the Company.

8. Governing Law. This Agreement, and all issues or matters related to this
Agreement, shall be governed by, enforced under, and construed in accordance
with the laws of the State of New York without regard to any conflicts or
conflicts of law principles in the State of New York that would result in the
application of the law of any other jurisdiction.

9. Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes
only, and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

10. Modification. This Agreement may not be changed orally, but only by an
agreement in writing signed by all of the parties hereto.

11. No Strict Construction. The language used in this Agreement will be deemed
to be the language chosen by all of the parties hereto to express their mutual
intent, and no rule of law or contract interpretation that provides that in the
case of ambiguity or uncertainty a provision should be construed against the
draftsman will be applied against any party hereto.
