      doing
      business are valuable assets, and also that Gateway at times does business
      with
      certain entities whose name and scope of work are confidential. In the course

    V.

    NON-COMPETITION

    


    5.1 During
      the term of this Agreement and thereafter, Consalvi and Consalvi shall be free
      to act as an independent contractor for other companies provided, however,
      that
      during the term of this Agreement and for any period in which Consalvi is
      receiving compensation by Gateway under Exhibit
      A,
      Consalvi will not be permitted to: (a) for his own account or for the account
      of
      any other person or entity, interfere with Gateway’s relationship with any of
      its suppliers, material customers, accounts, brokers, representatives or agents;
      (b)
      call
      on, solicit, or take away any of Gateway’s clients or potential clients about
      whom Consalvi

      services to Gateway, either for Consalvi
      or for
      any other person or entity; or (c) solicit or take away or attempt to solicit
      or
      take away any of Gateway’s employees or contractors either for Consalvi
      or for

      Notwithstanding the above, this Section is not intended to prohibit Consalvi
      from purchasing and/or selling CNC machines in transactions that do not involve
      Gateway or its subsidiaries (“Non-Gateway Transactions”). For any Non-Gateway
      Transaction, Consalvi agrees to offer Gateway the transaction, in writing,
      on a
      right of first refusal basis. If Gateway wishes to participate in the
      Non-Gateway Transaction, it shall notify Consalvi, in writing, within 24 hours
      of receiving Consalvi’s written notice of the transaction. If Gateway does not
      wish to participate in the Non-Gateway Transaction, Consalvi may consummate
      the
      transaction with any third party and it will not violate the provisions of
      this
      Section.

    6.5 Consalvi
      acknowledges that a remedy at law for any breach or attempted breach of any

      invalidating the remainder of such provision or the remaining provisions of
      this
      Agreement. No waiver of Gateway of any breach or failure to enforce any
      provision hereof shall be construed as a waiver of any future breach or right
      to

    6.8 Forbearance
      or failure to pursue any legal remedy or right upon default or breach hereof
      shall not constitute waiver of such right, nor shall any such forbearance,
      failure or actual waiver imply or constitute waiver of any subsequent default
      or
      breach.

    


    6.9 This
      Agreement may be executed simultaneously in one or more counterparts, each
      of
      which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute

      Agreement may not be altered, modified or amended except pursuant to a written
      instrument executed by all the Parties.
