ARTICLE IV
RESTRICTIVE COVENANTS

Section IV.1 Confidentiality.

a. During the course and scope of this Agreement, Consultant may receive Confidential Information for use in performing the Services or otherwise pertaining to Malvern or Malvern Bank. As used herein, the term “Confidential Information” means and is defined herein as certain oral, written, pictorial, or photographic information and materials, whether in printed, electronic or other format, which are not otherwise available to the general public relating to Malvern or Malvern Bank, including, without limitation, know-how, financial information, trade secrets or other data concerning the business or plans of Malvern or Malvern Bank, regardless of whether such information is marked as “Confidential”. The confidentiality obligations contained in this Section 4.1 shall survive for a period of two (2) years following any termination or expiration of this Agreement.

b. Consultant hereby agrees that it will not use, publish, disclose, appropriate, or communicate, directly or indirectly, any of the Confidential Information, other than the use of Confidential Information as appropriate and approved in advance in writing by Malvern in connection with the proper performance of the Services.

c. These confidentiality provisions will not apply to information that:

i. is already in the public domain, other than as a result of an unauthorized disclosure by Consultant or any of Consultant’s agents, employees, members, managers, directors, shareholders, or affiliates (as such term is defined in Rule 405 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (hereinafter, “Affiliates”)); or

ii. is disclosed by Consultant in order to comply with a subpoena or order to provide information or data when such order is issued by a court, administrative agency or other regulatory authority, provided that Consultant provides Malvern prompt written notice of any such request and an opportunity to challenge or limit the production or request for information.

Section IV.2 Non-Disparagement. During the Term of this Agreement, and for a period of one (1) year after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, (i) Consultant shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any of Consultant’s Affiliates to directly or indirectly, disparage Malvern, Malvern Bank, or any of their respective directors (including nominees supported by the Malvern’s Board of Directors), officers or employees in any public or quasi-public forum, and (ii) Malvern and Malvern Bank shall not, directly or indirectly, and shall not permit any of Malvern’s Affiliates to directly or indirectly, disparage Consultant in any public or quasi-public forum.

Section IV.3 No Public Announcements.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall restrict a Party from making disclosures as may be required under applicable securities laws.

Section IV.4 Equitable Relief. Consultant acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of any provisions of this Article IV would give rise to irreparable harm to Malvern, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Consultant of any such obligations, Malvern shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

ARTICLE V

Consultant will have no authority to enter into agreements on behalf of Malvern or otherwise legally bind Malvern and will not represent Consultant to be an agent of Malvern. Consultant acknowledges that Consultant is being engaged as an independent contractor and not as an employee, partner or agent of Malvern, and that Malvern will assume no responsibility for withholding income tax, social security tax, or any other payments, or for providing insurance of any kind, including workers’ compensation insurance, all of which will be Consultant’s sole and exclusive responsibility.

b. Consultant will determine how to perform the Services, including determining whether and how to employ (at Consultant’s sole expense) the services of Consultant’s own employees, agents or subcontractors in providing the Services.

Consultant has complied, and will comply with, all laws, rules, regulations and orders of any kind applicable to Consultant, including, without limitation, any laws, rules, regulations and orders that might be applicable to Consultant in connection with the provision of the Services hereunder, as well as those of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission and any requirements of any self-regulatory organizations. Consultant acknowledges that Consultant may receive Confidential Information pertaining to Malvern and/or Malvern Bank which might constitute material, non-public information under applicable securities laws, and represents and warrants that Consultant and its Affiliates shall not use any such information for purposes of any transactions involving Malvern’s securities, including Malvern’s common stock, options to purchase common stock, or any other type of securities that Malvern may issue, including, but not limited to, bonds, preferred stock, convertible debentures and warrants, as well as derivative securities that are not issued by Malvern, such as exchange-traded put or call options or swaps relating to Malvern’s securities (collectively, “Malvern Securities”).
