The applicable Level shall be adjusted, to the extent applicable, 50 days (or, in the case of the last fiscal quarter of any fiscal year, 95 days) after the end of each fiscal quarter based on the Leverage Ratio as of the last day of such fiscal quarter; provided that, unless the Required Lenders otherwise agree, if the Borrower fails to deliver the financial statements required by Section 5.1(a) or (b), as applicable, and the related 

       

      

      	
                  5197305 07032637
 

      

       

      
      

      

      

      certificate required by Section 5.1(c) by the 45th day (or, if applicable, the 90th day) after any fiscal quarter, Level VII shall apply until such financial statements are delivered.

      If, as a result of any restatement of or other adjustment to the financial statements of the Borrower or for any other reason, the Banks determine that (a) the Leverage Ratio as calculated by the Borrower as of any applicable date was inaccurate and (b) a proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in different pricing for any period, then (i) if the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for such period, then the Borrower shall automatically and retroactively be obligated to pay to the Administrative Agent for the benefit of the Banks, promptly following demand by the Administrative Agent (accompanied by supporting materials (which may be in the form of financial statements prepared by the Borrower or the Borrower’s independent auditors)), an amount equal to the excess of the amount
      of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period; (ii) if the Borrower provides materials to the Administrative Agent (which materials shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Administrative Agent) demonstrating that the proper calculation of the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in lower pricing for such period, then so long as such inaccurate calculation was made in good faith and no Default exists, the Borrower shall receive a credit against future payments of interest and fees hereunder in an amount equal to the amount of interest and fees actually paid for such period over the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for such period (and such credit shall be applied to pay each subsequent payment of interest and fees hereunder until applied in full); and (iii) if as a result of any restatement or other event a proper calculation of
      the Leverage Ratio would have resulted in higher pricing for one or more periods and lower pricing for one or more other periods (due to the shifting of income or expenses from one period to another period or any similar reason), then the amount to be paid by the Borrower pursuant to clause (i) above and the amount to be credited to the Borrower pursuant to clause (ii) above shall be netted and only the difference between the amount of interest and fees that should have been paid for all applicable periods and the amount of interest and fees actually paid for all such periods shall be paid by the Borrower or credited to the Borrower, as applicable.

          CONFIDENTIALITY AND NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

      This  Agreement  ("Agreement") dated  January  8,  2007  is
entered  into between Third-Order Nanotechnologies, Inc., located
at  2601  Annand Dr., Suite #16, Wilmington, Delaware 19808,  its
predecessors, promoters, successors and assigns (collectively the
"Company");  and  William  C. Pickett,  III  ("Director"),  whose
address is 16 Brendle Lane, Wilmington, Delaware 19807.

      WHEREAS,  Company is a technology company  focused  on  the
development  of electro-optic polymer materials for  applications
in   high-speed   fiber-optic  telecommunications   and   optical
computing,  which  involves the development  and  utilization  of
information not generally known in the industry or industries  in
which  the  Company  is or may become engaged; which  information
may,   without  limitation,  include  information   relating   to
research,   development,  inventions,  manufacture,   purchasing,
accounting,  engineering, marketing, merchandising,  and  selling
Company's products (collectively referred to below as "the secret
information");

      WHEREAS, the Company desires to appoint the Director  as  a
member  of  the  Company's Board of Directors  and  the  Director
accepts such appointment;

      WHEREAS,  in performing his services for Company,  Director
will  necessarily  be given access to secret  information,  which
will be identified by Company as such; and

      WHEREAS,  the  use  of the secret information  by,  or  its
disclosure to, any person or organization other than Company  and
its  employees  or  Director  would  be  highly  detrimental  and
damaging to Company.

       NOW   THEREFORE,   with  the  foregoing   recitals   being
incorporated  herein by reference and deemed  an  essential  part
hereof and in consideration of the mutual promises, covenants and
conditions contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

Section 1. Nondisclosure of Secret Information

     1.1  Non-disclosure. Director agrees that neither he nor any
          --------------
          of his employees,  agents, independent  contractors  or
          other  persons  or  organizations  over  which  he  has
          control,  will  at  any  time  during  or   after   his
          relationship  with Company, directly  or indirectly use
          any secret  information for any purposes not associated
          with  Company's activities,  or disseminate or disclose
          any  of   the  secret  information  to  any  person  or
          organization  not  connected  with Company, without the
          express  written  consent  of  Company.  Director  also
          agrees  that  he  will  undertake  all   necessary  and
          appropriate  steps  to  ensure  that the secrecy of the
          secret information in his possession will be maintained.

     1.2  Return    of   documents.    Upon  termination  of  his
          ------------------------
          relationship  with  Company,  Director  agrees that all
          documents,  records, notebooks and similar repositories
          of or containing  secret  information, including copies
          of  such  materials,  then  in his  possession, whether

                             Page 1 of 3
<PAGE>

          prepared by him or others, will be returned to Company.

     1.3  Non-competition.  For a period of  five (5) years after
          ---------------
          termination  of his relationship with Company, Director
          agrees that  within  the territory of the entire world,
          neither  he  nor   any   of   his  employees,   agents,
          independent     contractors   or   other   persons   or
          organizations over which he has control, will, directly
          or  indirectly,   render  services  to  any  person  or
          organization  in, or  about  to  become engaged in, the
          research   or   development,  production,  marketing or
          selling  of    a  product,  process  or  service  which
          resembles  or  competes  with  a  product,  process  or
          service  of  Company, nor will Director, his employees,
          agents,  independent  contractors  or  other persons or
          organizations  over which he has  control, directly  or
          indirectly,  become    engaged  in  the   research   or
          development,  production,  marketing  or  selling  of a
          product, process or service which resembles or competes
          with a product, process or service of Company.

     1.4  The  parties  expressly  agree  that  the  restrictions
          contained in section 1.3 of this Agreement are fair and
          reasonable.  If the  provisions  of  Section 1.3 should
          ever be  adjudicated  to exceed the time, geographic or
          other limitations  permitted by  applicable  law in any
          jurisdiction,  then  such  provisions  shall be  deemed
          reformed  in  such  jurisdiction  to  the maximum time,
          geographic or other limitations permitted by applicable
          law.  The  parties  also  agree that  in the  event the
          Company  is  acquired  by a  third  party  company, the
          provisions of Section 1.3 shall not apply to any aspect
          of  such  third  party  acquirer's business, other than
          that which is directly related to the Company.

     1.5  Director  acknowledges  that  the  secret   information
          belongs  t o Company, that  Company  claims  the secret
          information  comprises  trade secrets, claims that  the
          secret  information is confidential to Company and that
          each of  the obligations  assumed by  Director in this,
          and   the  other  paragraphs  contained  herein,  is  a
          material  inducement to disclose the secret information
          to Director.

Section 2.  Enforcement

     2.1  In  the  event  that  the Director  shall  breach  this
          Agreement, or in the event that such breach appears  to
          be  an  imminent possibility, Company shall be entitled
          to  all legal and equitable remedies afforded it by law
          as  a  result  of the breach (including  an  injunction
          restraining  the party or parties about to  commit  any
          breach  of  this  Agreement, or who  have  committed  a
          breach  of  it, without showing or proving  any  actual
          damage  sustained by Company), and may, in addition  to
          any  and  all  other  forms  of  relief,  recover  from
          Director  all  reasonable  costs  and  attorneys'  fees
          encountered by it in seeking any such remedy.

Section 3. Binding Effect

     3.1  This  Agreement  shall be binding upon the  parties  to
          this  Agreement  and  upon their respective  executors,
          administrators, legal representatives,  successors  and
          assigns.
