failing to qualify for certification, Employee shall fail to begin or to fulfill the
employment obligation as herein provided, any and all monies received by Employee, or
paid for Employee's benefit under the terms of this Agreement shall be repayable in full,
together with interest at the rate set forth in paragraph 9. Said funds shall be repaid to
PCNAI upon demand. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following shall be applicable:
(1) If PCNAI does not elect to continue the employment of Employee
upon his completion of the CCA Program, Employee shall have no obligation to
repay any funds received by Employee or paid for Employee's benefit under the
terms of this Agreement. It is specifically understood by Employee that PCNAI is
not obligated to continue the employment of Employee upon completion of the
CCA Program, but shall reserve the privilege of doing so as herein specifically
provided.
(2) If, during Employee's period of obligated employment, his CCA
certification is withdrawn or suspended, PCNAI, during such period of
withdrawal or suspension, shall not be obligated to continue Employee's
employment. Any period in which Employee's certification is withdrawn or
suspended shall not be considered as part of the period of obligated employment.
The period of obligated employment shall be fulfilled as a Network Technician
and not in any other capacity.
(3) It is specifically understood and agreed that, in the event that
Employee's employment is terminated before completion of the employment
obligation under the terms of this Agreement, PCNAI shall have the right of set-
off for sums Employee is required to repay PCNAI under this Agreement, and
against any sum otherwise payable by PCNAI to Employee.
(4) If PCNAI employs Employee, and PCNAI terminates Employee
without cause during Employee's period of obligated employment, Employee
shall have no obligation to repay any funds received by Employee or paid for the
benefit of Employee under the terms of this Agreement.
(5) If PCNAI employs Employee, and PCNAI terminates Employee
with cause during Employee's period of obligated employment, Employee shall
be obligated to repay PCNAI a pro rata share of the money paid to Employee or
for the benefit of Employee under this Agreement together with interest at the rate
set forth in paragraph 9. "Pro rata share" shall mean the number of hours worked
by Employee during the period of obligated employment divided by the number
of hours in which Employee was engaged in the CCA Program.
D. Death of Employee. In the event Employee shall die prior to the
completion of the period of obligated employment, then this Agreement shall be
terminated, and any obligations of Employee to repay any funds paid or received on his
behalf under the terms of this Agreement are specifically waived by PCNAI.
E. Miscellaneous. In the event that PCNAI shall cease carrying on its present
business, for any reason, then this Agreement shall be null and void, and Employee shall
not be required to repay PCNAI any funds paid or received on his behalf pursuant to the
terms hereof.
9. INTEREST. Any interest required to be paid by Employee as part of the
repayment obligation of Employee shall be at a rate equal to the Prime Rate as published in the
Wall Street Journal in effect on the date on which this Agreement was fully executed, and shall
begin to accrue on such date.
10. INCOME REPORTING OBLIGATION. Until such time as Employee
completes the CCA certification, each amount paid to Employee or for Employee's benefit
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a loan. PCNAI
shall report on Form W-2, Wage and Tax Statement, as wages, the pro rata amount of the
payments which PCNAI has made to Employee, or for Employee's benefit, pursuant to the terms
and conditions of this Agreement, together with interest as herein provided, which, because
Employee has fulfilled a portion of Employee's obligated employment, Employee shall not be
required to repay. PCNAI shall withhold on the basis of such amounts reported as wages, the
amount of all federal, state and local taxes for which withholding by an employer is required,
including but not limited to federal, state and local income taxes, FICA tax, and Pennsylvania
Unemployment Compensation. In the event that Employee is not employed by PCNAI, but
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement, or otherwise at PCNAI's election, Employee is not
required to repay principal or interest of any loan made pursuant to this Agreement, the amount
of such loan forgiveness, computed as of the date of the termination of Employee's obligation to
repay under the terms of this Agreement or pursuant to PCNAI's election not to require payment,
shall be reported to the Internal Revenue Service on Form 1099, or such other form as may be
appropriate for the reporting of income.
11. NUMBER FOR REPORTING. Employee's social security number, to be used
for any required reporting to the Internal Revenue Service, is 200-50-8252.
12. ASSIGNMENT. Employee may not assign all or part of this Agreement.
PCNAI may assign the rights and obligations under this Agreement, in whole or in part.
13. NOTICE. Any notice from either party to the other shall be deemed sufficiently
given if such notice is in writing, sent by certified mail, addressed as follows:

CIVIL ACTION - LAW AND EQUITY
PLAINTIFF'S EMERGENCY MOTION FOR SPECL4,L INJUNCTION/TEMPORARY
RESTRAINING ORDER AND PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION
AND NOW COMES Plaintiff PC & Network Associates, Inc., by and through their
attorneys, Smigel, Anderson and Sacks, LLP, to file the following Emergency Motion for
Special Injunction/Temporary Restraining Order and Preliminary Injunction against Mark D.
Weaver and Computer Information Systems & Services, Inc. (hereinafter "CISS") and avers in
support as follows:
1. The instant Motion seeks a Special Injunction/Temporary Restraining Order
without notice and hearing and the scheduling of a hearing on a preliminary injunction within
five (5) days of the granting of the temporary restraining order pursuant to Rule 1531 of the
Pennsylvania Rules of Civil Procedure.
2. Concurrently with the filing of this Emergency Motion, Plaintiff is filing a
Complaint against the Defendants. Plaintiffs averments in the Complaint are incorporated
herein by reference as if fully set forth.
3. Plaintiff PC & Network Associates, Inc. (hereinafter "PCNAI") is a Pennsylvania
Corporation that provides computer consulting and network management services to its clients
mainly in the Central Pennsylvania counties of the counties of Dauphin, Cumberland, Lancaster,
York, Perry and Lebanon.
4. Defendant Mark Weaver (hereinafter "Weaver") was employed as a Network
Technician by PCNAI effective May 23, 2006.
5. As part of his employment, Weaver executed an Employee Confidentiality &
Noncompetition Agreement dated May 23, 2006.
6. Pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, Weaver contracted to not compete with
PCNAI or solicit PCNAI's customers for a period of two (2) years following his termination in
the counties of Dauphin, Cumberland, Lancaster, York, Perry and Lebanon.
7. In May of 2008, Weaver informed PCNAI that effective May 30, 2008 he was
resigning his position and was opening his own computer consulting and network management
company, Defendant CISS.
8. On May 30, 2008, CISS and PCNAI entered into a Consultant Agreement by
which CISS and Weaver would work together in an independent contractor relationship.
9. The Noncompetition Agreement remained in effect with the exception that
Weaver and CISS would be allowed to work with Kelly Financial Services, a former PCNAI
client.
10. On or about November 5, 2008, PCNAI learned that one of its clients, FMA
Advisory, Inc. (hereinafter "FMA") had been solicited by Weaver and CISS and was terminating
its contract PCANA.
11. PCNAI also learned that Weaver encouraged FMA to terminate its contract with
PCNAI and that CISS would be taking over computer consulting and network services for FMA.
2
12. PCNAI also learned that Weaver and CISS solicited PCNAI client Project Share
as a client.
13. Weaver and CISS are now providing computer consulting and network services
for Project Share.
14. It is believed and therefore averred that Weaver and CISS are in possession of and
return PCNAI proprietary information, data, software, and intellectual property.
15. Weaver and CISS' actions have caused and will continue to cause irreparable
harm to PCNAI.
16. Weaver and CISS are competing in the computer consulting and networking
industry in Dauphin, Cumberland, Lancaster, York, Perry and Lebanon counties in violation of
the Noncompetition Agreement and the Consulting Agreement.
17. Furthermore, Weaver is in possession of PCNAI proprietary information and
intellectual property which he had access to as part of his Consultant Agreement.
18. As a direct result of Weaver's breaches, PCNAI has suffered damages in that it
was denied the benefit of the Noncompetition Agreement and has lost clients as a result.
19. The foregoing conduct was, and continues to be, willful and intentional, and has
already caused and will continue to cause serious damage to PCNAI with respect to its
contractual and business relationships.
20. A special injunction/temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and
permanent injunction is required and reasonable suited to abate further immediate and irreparable
injury to PCNAI's interests.
21. This Honorable Court has the power to issue injunctions to prevent irreparable
harm pursuant to Pa. R.C.P. 1531.
3
22. PCNAI will likely prevail on the merits of its claims for breach of contract and
interference with contractual relations against the Defendants.
23. There is no remedy at law that will reasonably and adequately compensate
PCNAI for the immediate, irreparable harm that has been and will continue to be suffered by
PCNAI.
24. The granting of this temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction, and
permanent injunction will not adversely affect the Defendants, other interested parties, of the
public interest.
25. It is PCNAI's position that Weaver can not work in the computer consulting and
networking field in Dauphin, Cumberland, Lancaster, York, Perry and Lebanon counties due to
his execution of the Noncompetition Agreement.
26. Greater injury would result to PCNAI from this Court's refusal to grant an
injunction than a refusal to grant an injunction would cause the Defendants.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff respectfully requests this Honorable Court issue a special
injunction/temporary restraining order, as well as a preliminary and permanent injunction, and
thereby Order the following:
1. That Mark Weaver and CISS are enjoined from working for PCNAI's existing
clients including FMA and Project Share;
2. That Mark Weaver and CISS are enjoined from soliciting or working in the
computer industry within the counties of Dauphin, Cumberland, Lancaster, York,
Perry and Lebanon as in direct competition with PCNAI.
4
3. That Mark Weaver and CISS are to maintain the confidentiality of PCNAI's
proprietary information and intellectual property as provided by the Non-Compete
Agreement and the Consulting Agreement; and
4. That Mark Weaver and CISS must return all PCNAI data, software, and return all
intellectual property whether in electronic or paper form.
WHEREFORE, the Plaintiffs respectfully request that this Court issue and Order in
substantially the form attached hereto together with reasonable attorney's fees, court costs,
punitive damages and such other relief as the Court deems just and appropriate.
Respectfully submitted,
