This Employee Confidentiality Agreement ("Agreement") is made as of May 17, 2010 (the "Effective Date") by and between Victoria Industries, Inc., a Nevada corporation (to be named as Motor Sport Country Club Holdings, Inc.) ("Party-1") and Robert A. Newson, an individual ("Party-2"), and

 

Party-2 is employed by Party-1 in the following role: (President and Chief Operating Officer) (the "Business Purpose"). In the course of that employment regarding the Business Purpose, Party-1 may disclose to Party-2 certain Confidential Information (as that term is later defined). By virtue of this Agreement, each party wishes to protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information.

 

Party-1 and Party-2 therefore agree as follows:

 

1. DEFINITIONS.

(a) "Confidential Information" means private or confidential information, data or materials of Party-1, and all such private or confidential information, data or materials must be marked as "confidential" or "proprietary" to the disclosing party, however, for oral disclosures of information, data or materials, the disclosing party may describe the disclosure within twenty (20) days thereafter in a written notice provided to Contractor, referencing the time, date, and receiving individuals for the disclosure, at which point such described information, data or materials become Confidential Information of the disclosing party on a going forward basis from the date of receiving party's receipt of such letter.

 

(b) "Government Authority" means any governmental authority or court, tribunal, agency, department, commission, arbitrator, board, bureau, or instrumentality of the United States of America or any other country or territory, or domestic or foreign state, prefecture, province, commonwealth, city, county, municipality, territory, protectorate or possession.  (c) "Law" means all Laws, statutes, ordinances, codes, regulations and other pronouncements having the effect of Law of any Government Authority.  

 

2. EMPLOYMENT.

 

(a) No Employment Agreement.  Party-2 acknowledges and agrees that employment with Party-1 is on an at-will basis, and either Party-1 or Party-2 may terminate the employment relationship at any time, for convenience, for any reason or no reason, and with or without cause. This Agreement is not an employment agreement and is concerned only with this Agreement's subject matter.

 

(b) OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT WITH COUNSEL AND NO CONSTRUCTION AGAINST THE DRAFTER.  PARTY-2 ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT PARTY-2 HAD A FULL AND AMPLE OPPORTUNITY TO CONSULT LEGAL COUNSEL REGARDING THIS AGREEMENT PRIOR TO SIGNING, HAS FREELY AND VOLUNTARILY ENTERED INTO THIS AGREEMENT, AND HAS READ AND UNDERSTOOD EACH AND EVERY PROVISION, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, PARTY-2'S RIGHTS, OBLIGATIONS, AND APPLICABLE TERMS AND CONDITIONS.

3. CONFIDENTIALITY.   

 

(a) Confidential Information Disclosures. In the performance of this Agreement Party-2 may receive the Confidential Information of Party-1. Disclosures of Confidential Information made by Party-1 (or the "disclosing party") to Party-2 (or the "receiving party"), are pursuant to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. All Confidential Information of the disclosing party will remain the exclusive property of the disclosing party.  The terms and conditions of this Agreement are deemed to be Confidential Information of both parties.   

 

(b) Exclusions. Confidential Information does not include information, data or materials that, as proved by written records:   (i) Public Domain. Are or become a part of the public domain through no act or omission on the part of the receiving party and no violation of any obligation of nondisclosure by any third party; or  (ii) Independently Developed. Are independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the disclosing party's Confidential Information, as evidenced through written records created in the normal course of the receiving party's business; or  (iii) Third Party Source. Are disclosed to the receiving party through a third party source or series of sources without any violation of nondisclosure with respect to such information, data or materials by any source(s) in the series (however, such information only becomes Confidential Information once the receiving party is aware of such breach).   

 

(c) Duties. Without limiting any other obligations under this Agreement, the parties agree to the following specified duties:   (i) Nondisclosure and Uses. The receiving party must use commercially reasonable methods, at least as substantial as the methods it uses to protect its own confidential information, data and materials of a similar nature, to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information by not copying, publishing, disclosing to third parties or using the Confidential Information; except the receiving party may use the Confidential Information in order to perform the receiving party's obligations or engage in activities contemplated under the Business Purpose. A receiving party may not modify or delete any proprietary rights legend appearing in the disclosing party's Confidential Information.   (ii) Disclosures to Agents and Subcontractors. A receiving party may share Confidential Information with: (a) its attorneys under an obligation of confidentiality and nondisclosure no less protective of the disclosing party's Confidential Information than the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and (b) its subcontractors pursuant to a written confidentiality agreement no less protective of the disclosing party's Confidential Information than this Agreement (a "Subcontractor Confidentiality Agreement"), provided that in no event may an attorney or subcontractor of a receiving party disclose Confidential Information to any other third party, with the exception of a Government Authority to which a disclosure may be made (for subcontractors, only pursuant to a provision in the Subcontractor Confidentiality Agreement identical to Section 2.4 (Disclosures Required by Law) of this Agreement), except that the attorney or subcontractor must give the prior notice required therein to both the receiving party and the disclosing party. Receiving party agrees to assume all liability and responsibility for such attorneys'' and subcontractors' compliance with and breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement as if such attorneys' and subcontractors' acts and omissions were receiving party's own.  (iii) Notice. Upon discovery, receiving party agrees to provide disclosing party immediate telephonic and written notice of a breach of: (a) any obligation of confidentiality and nondisclosure required hereunder prior to a disclosure; and (b) any Subcontractor Confidentiality Agreement.  (iv) Return of Confidential Information. After a request by the disclosing party, and after termination or expiration of this Agreement, receiving party must within thirty (30) days return or destroy (and certify to such destruction in writing, such certification not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed) all Confidential Information of the disclosing party, including, without limitation: (a) all tangible and electronic documents, drawings, materials, hardware, disks, tapes; and (b) all copies, notes, summaries and excerpts of any of the foregoing; and (c) all Confidential Information in the possession of any third parties to whom receiving party disclosed Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, receiving party may retain Confidential Information as required by applicable Laws or orders of a Government Authority with jurisdiction over receiving party (the "Retention Requirements"), and any such uses or disclosures of Confidential Information by the receiving party will be limited to only those uses and disclosures mandated by the Retention Requirements.   

 

d) Disclosures Required by Law. In the event any Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by Law or order of any Government Authority having jurisdiction over the receiving party (including as necessary for a party to assert a claim in a court of competent jurisdiction), before any such disclosure the receiving party will provide notice to the disclosing party reasonably sufficient to allow the disclosing party the opportunity to apply for a protective order or other restriction regarding such disclosure. In the event such Confidential Information is disclosed in such circumstances, such Confidential Information shall continue to constitute Confidential Information in all other circumstances pursuant to this Agreement.

 

4. NON-COMPETITION AND NON-SOLICITATION.   

 

a) Non-Competition.  Employee agrees to not, directly or indirectly, during the course of employment and for a period of one (1) year thereafter: (i) Customers.  Solicit the trade or patronage of any customers or prospective customers or suppliers of Company with respect to any technologies, services, products, trade secrets or other matters in which Company is actively involved or becomes involved during the term of Employee's employment with the Company; or  (ii) Competitors. Engage in any business or employment, or aid or endeavor to assist any third party, which is in competition with the products and/or services of Company.

(c) Acknowledgement. Employee acknowledges that the scope, geography, and time restrictions of this provision are reasonable. The parties intend that this provision be enforced to the greatest extent permissible.  Therefore, should a court of competent jurisdiction hold any portion of this provision to be invalid, this provision is deemed automatically amended to the extent made necessary by the court's opinion, and Employee agrees to execute any and all documents necessary to evidence such amendment. Further, in the event that Employee breaches this provision, then the time limitation of this provision is extended for a period of time equal to the period of time during which the breach occurred.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants and agreements herein contained, and intending to be legally bound hereby, Parent, Acquiror and Target hereby agree as follows:

ARTICLE I

THE MERGER

1.1           The Merger. At the Effective Time (as defined in Section 1.2) and subject to and upon the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the Merger Agreement, Target shall be merged with and into Acquiror, the separate corporate existence of Target shall cease and Acquiror shall continue as the surviving corporation, in accordance with the applicable provisions of the Delaware General Corporation Law (the “Delaware Law”). Acquiror, as the surviving corporation after the Merger, is hereinafter sometimes referred to as the “Surviving Corporation”.

1.2.           Effective Time. As promptly as practicable after the satisfaction or waiver of the conditions set forth in Article VI, and provided that this Agreement has not been terminated or abandoned pursuant to Article VIII, the Constituent Corporations shall cause the Merger to be consummated by filing a Certificate of Merger (the “Certificate of Merger”) with the office of

  

  

  

the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware, in such form as required by, and executed in accordance with, the relevant provisions of the Delaware Law. Subject to, and in accordance with, the Delaware Law, the Merger will become effective at the date and time the Certificate of Merger are filed with the office of the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware or such later time or date as may be specified in the Certificate of Merger (the “Effective Time”). Each of the parties shall use its best efforts to cause the Merger to be consummated as soon as practicable following the fulfillment or waiver of the conditions specified in Article VI hereof.

1.3.           Effect of the Merger.  At the Effective Time, the effect of the Merger shall be as provided in the applicable provisions of the Delaware Law. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, and subject thereto, at the Effective Time, except as otherwise provided herein, all the property, rights, privileges, powers and franchises of Target shall vest in the Surviving Corporation, and all debts, liabilities and duties of Target shall become the debts, liabilities and duties of the Surviving Corporation.

1.4.           Certificate of Incorporation; Bylaws.

(a)           Certificate of Incorporation. At the Effective Time, the Certificate of Incorporation of Acquiror, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law and such Certificate of Incorporation; provided, however, that the name of Acquiror shall be changed to “Santéon, Inc.”, as soon as is practicable following the Effective Time.

(b)           Bylaws. The Bylaws of Acquiror, as in effect immediately prior to the Effective Time, shall be the Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation until thereafter amended as provided by law, the Certificate of Incorporation of the Surviving Corporation and such Bylaws.

1.5.           Directors and Officers. The directors of Target immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial directors of the Surviving Corporation, in each case to hold office in accordance with the Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws of the Surviving Corporation.  The officers of Target immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be the initial officers of the Surviving Corporation, in each case until their respective successors are duly elected or appointed and qualified.

1.6.           Conversion of Securities. At the Effective Time, by virtue of the Merger and without any action on the part of Acquiror, the following shall occur:

(a)           Cancellation of Target Common Stock. Each share of common stock of Target (the “Target Common Stock”) held in the treasury of Target and each such share of Target Common Stock owned by Acquiror, Parent or any direct or indirect wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent or of Target immediately prior to the Effective Time shall be cancelled and extinguished without any conversion thereof and no payment shall be made with respect thereto.

  

2

  

(b)           Exchange of Target Common Stock. Each share of Target Common Stock which is outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time, other than those shares of Target Common Stock cancelled as set forth in subsection (a) hereof, shall be converted into the right to receive shares of the $.001 par value per share common stock of Parent (the “Parent Common Stock”), as follows:

at the Effective Time, each share of Target Common Stock shall be exchanged for 40 shares of Parent Common Stock, for a total of 80,000,000 shares of Parent Common Stock (these shares of Parent Common Stock are referred to as the “Closing Shares”).  The Closing Shares are referred to as the “Merger Consideration”.

(c)           Anti-Dilution Adjustments. The number of shares included in the Merger Consideration (the "Merger Shares") shall be subject to adjustment as follows:

(i)           In case Parent shall, at any time prior to the Effective Time, (i) pay a dividend or make a distribution on its Parent Common Stock in shares of its capital stock or other securities, (ii) subdivide its outstanding shares of Parent Common Stock into a greater number of shares, (iii) combine its outstanding Parent Common Stock into a smaller number of shares or (iv) issue, by reclassification of its Parent Common Stock, shares of its capital stock or other securities of the Parent (including any such reclassification in connection with a consolidation or merger in which Parent is the continuing corporation), the number of Merger Shares issuable to the shareholers of Target immediately prior thereto shall be adjusted so that the shareholders of Target shall be entitled to receive the kind and number of Merger Shares, shares of Parent’s capital stock and other securities of Parent which such shareholder would have owned or would have been entitled to receive immediately after the happening of any of the events described above, had the Merger Shares been issued to the shareholders of Target immediately prior to the happening of such event or any record date with respect thereto. Any adjustment made pursuant to this subsection (a) shall become effective immediately after the effective date of such event.

(ii)           In case Parent shall, at any time prior to the Effective Time, issue rights, options, warrants or convertible securities to holders of its Parent Common Stock, without any charge to such holders, containing the right to subscribe for or purchase Parent Common Stock, the number of Merger Shares thereafter issuable to the shareholders of Target shall be determined by multiplying the number of Merger Shares theretofore issuable to the shareholders of Target by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the number of shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities plus the number of additional shares of Parent Common Stock offered for subscription or purchase, and of which the denominator shall be the number of shares of Parent Common Stock outstanding immediately prior to the issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities. Such adjustment shall be made whenever such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities are issued, and shall become effective immediately upon issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities.

  

3

  

(iii)           In case Parent shall, at any time prior to the Effective Time, distribute to holders of its Parent Common Stock evidences of its indebtedness or assets (excluding cash dividends or distributions out of current earnings made in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practices), then, in each case, the number of Merger Shares that have not yet been issued to the shareholders of Target shall be determined by multiplying the number of Merger Shares that have not yet been issued to the shareholders of Target by a fraction, of which the numerator shall be the then Market Price (as defined below) on the date of such distribution, and of which the denominator shall be such Market Price on such date minus the then fair value, as determined by the  Board of Directors of Partner, of the portion of the assets or evidences of indebtedness so distributed applicable to one share of Parent Common Stock. Such adjustment shall be made whenever any such distribution is made and shall become effective on the date of distribution.  “Market Price” shall, for purposes of this Agreement, mean the closing sale price, as reported by the OTC Bulletin Board, of Parent’s Common Stock on the applicable date.

 

(iv)           To the extent not covered by subsections (i), (ii) or (iii) hereof:

  

(A)           In case Parent shall, at any time prior to the Effective Time, sell or issue Parent Common Stock or rights, options, warrants or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for, purchase or exchange into shares of Parent Common Stock at a price per share (determined, in the case of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities, by dividing (I) the total amount received or receivable by Parent in consideration of the sale or issuance of such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities, plus the total consideration payable to Parent upon exercise, conversion or exchange thereof, by (II) the total number of shares covered by such rights, options, warrants or convertible securities) lower than $0.01 per share, then the number of unissued Merger Shares shall thereafter be equal to the sum of the number of unissued Merger Shares immediately prior to such sale or issuance plus the number of shares of Parent Common Stock and rights, options, warrants or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for, purchase or exchange into shares of Parent Common Stock sold or issued in such issuance.

(B)           In case Parent shall, at any time prior to the Effective Time, sell or issue Parent Common Stock or rights, options, warrants or convertible securities containing the right to subscribe for, purchase or exchange into Parent Common Stock for a consideration consisting, in whole or in part, of property other than cash or its equivalent, then, in determining the "price per share" of Parent Common Stock and the "consideration received by Parent" for purposes of the first sentence of this subsection (B), the Board of Directors of Parent shall determine the fair value of said property, and such determination, if based upon the Board of Directors of Parent, good faith business judgment, shall be binding upon the Shareholders. In determining the "price per share" of Parent Common Stock, any underwriting discounts or commissions paid to brokers, dealers or other selling agents shall not be deducted from the price received by Parent for sales of securities registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or issued in a private placement.

(v)           For the purpose of this Section 1.6, the term "Parent Common Stock" shall mean (I) the class of stock designated as the Parent Common Stock of parent at the

  

4

  

date of this Agreement or (II) any other class of stock resulting from successive changes or reclassifications of such Parent Common Stock consisting solely of changes in par value, or from par value to no par value, or from no par value to par value. In the event that, at any time, as a result of an adjustment made pursuant to this Section 1.6, a shareholder of Target shall become entitled to receive any securities of Parent other than Parent Common Stock, (x) if such shareholder’s right to acquire is on any other basis than that available to all holders of Parent Common Stock, Parent shall obtain an opinion of a reputable investment banking firm valuing such other securities and (y) thereafter the number of such other securities so purchasable upon issuance of the Merger Consideration shall be subject to adjustment from time to time in a manner and on terms as nearly equivalent as practicable to the provisions with respect to the Parent Common Stock contained in this Section 1.6.

(vi)           Upon any adjustment of the number of Merger Shares, then and in each such case, Parent shall give written notice thereof, by first-class mail, postage prepaid, addressed to the shareholders of Target as shown on the books of Parent, which notice shall state the increase or decrease, if any, in the number of shares of Parent Common Stock issuable to the shareholders of Target as Merger Shares, setting forth in reasonable detail the method of calculation and the facts upon which such calculation is based.

(d)           The common stock of Acquiror issued and outstanding immediately prior to the Effective Time shall remain validly issued, fully paid and non-assessable common stock of the Surviving Corporation.

1.7.           Surrender of and Exchange of Target Common Stock.

(a)           As soon as practicable after the Effective Time, the stock certificates representing Target Common Stock issued and outstanding at the Effective Time (or affidavits of lost certificates in a form reasonably acceptable to Parent) shall be surrendered for exchange to the Surviving Corporation. Until so surrendered for exchange, each such stock certificate nominally representing Target Common Stock shall be deemed for all purposes (except for payment of dividends thereon or redemption thereof) to evidence the ownership of the number of shares of Parent Common Stock which the holder would be entitled to receive upon its surrender to the Surviving Corporation.

(b)           No redemption with respect to Parent Common Stock shall be made with respect to any unsurrendered certificates representing shares of Target Common Stock with respect to which the shares of Parent Common Stock shall have been issued in the Merger, until such certificates shall be surrendered as provided herein.

(c)           All rights to receive the Merger Consideration into which shares of Target Common Stock shall have been converted pursuant to this Article I shall be deemed to have been paid or issued, as the case may be, in full satisfaction of all rights pertaining to such shares of Target Common Stock.

21

  

7.2.           Parent Indemnities.  Parent agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Target, its affiliates, agents attorneys and their respective successors and assigns from, against and in respect of the full amount of any and all liabilities, damages, claims, deficiencies, fines, assessments, losses, taxes, penalties, interest, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable fees and disbursements of counsel (“Damages”) arising from, in connection with, or incident to any untruth, inaccuracy, breach or omission of, from or in, the representations and warranties made to Target  herein; or any nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement of Parent under this Agreement; or from any untruth, inaccuracy, breach or omission of, from or in, any representation or warranty, or any nonfulfillment of any covenant or agreement made by Parent in the Schedules, the exhibits or any other written statement, list, certificate or other instrument furnished to Target by or on behalf of Parent pursuant to this Agreement.

7.3.           Indemnification Procedure.  Promptly after any person entitled to indemnification under this Article VII (the “Indemnified Party”) has received notice of or has knowledge of any claim against the Indemnified Party by a person not a party to this Agreement (a “Third Person”) or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a Third Person, it shall give the other party (“Indemnifying Party”) written notice of such claim or the commencement of such action or proceeding; provided that no delay on the part of the Indemnified Party in notifying the Indemnifying Party will relieve the Indemnifying Party from any obligation hereunder unless, and then solely to the extent that, the Indemnifying Party is prejudiced thereby. Such notice shall state the nature and the basis of such claim and a reasonable estimate of the Damages.

The Indemnifying Party shall have right to defend, at its own expense and by its own counsel, any such matter so long as the Indemnifying Party pursues the same in good faith and diligently.  If the Indemnifying Party undertakes to defend or settle, it shall promptly notify the Indemnified Party of its intention to do so, and the Indemnified Party shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its counsel in the defense thereof and in any settlement thereof. Such cooperation shall include, but shall not be limited to, furnishing the Indemnifying Party with any personnel, books, records or information reasonably requested by the Indemnifying Party that are in the Indemnified Party=s possession or control. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in any matter through counsel of its own choosing at its own expense (unless there is a conflict of interest that prevents counsel for the Indemnifying Party from representing the Indemnified Party, in which case the Indemnifying Party will reimburse the Indemnified Party for the expenses of its counsel). After the Indemnifying Party has notified the Indemnified Party of its intention to undertake to defend or settle any such asserted liability, and for so long as the Indemnifying Party diligently pursues such defense, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any additional legal expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with any defense or settlement of such asserted liability. If the Indemnifying Party does not undertake to defend such matter to which the Indemnified Party is entitled to indemnification hereunder, or fails to diligently pursue such defense, the Indemnified Party may undertake such defense through counsel of its choice, at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party, and the Indemnified Party may settle such matter, and the Indemnifying Party shall reimburse the Indemnified Party for the amount paid in such settlement and any other liabilities or expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection therewith. No party hereto, without the prior written consent of the other, shall settle,

  

22

  

compromise or consent to the entry of any judgment with respect to any pending or threatened Claim unless the settlement, compromise or consent (i) provides for and includes an express, unconditional release of all Indemnified Parties and Indemnifying Parties from all liabilities, claims, demands, actions and obligations in connection therewith and (ii) does not provide for any relief other than monetary relief.

7.4           Additional Remedies.  The rights of the Indemnified Party under this Article VII shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies that might otherwise be available to it at law or in equity and the exercise of such rights shall not operate as a waiver of any of such other rights.
