                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

INJUNCTIVE RELIEF (§ 59.1-337)

A. Actual or threatened misappropriation may be enjoined. Upon application to
the court, an injunction shall be terminated when the trade secret has ceased to
exist, but the injunction may be continued for an additional reasonable period
of time in order to eliminate commercial advantage that otherwise would be
derived from the misappropriation.

B. In exceptional circumstances, an injunction may condition future use upon
payment of a reasonable royalty for no longer than the period of time for which
use could have been prohibited. Exceptional circumstances include, but are not
limited to, a material and prejudicial change of position prior to acquiring
knowledge or reason to know of misappropriation that renders a prohibitive
injunction inequitable.

C. In appropriate circumstances, affirmative acts to protect a trade secret may
be compelled by court order.
