But it did include<b> a two-year confidentiality pact</b>. <br> <br> ... &quot;Despite <b>being paid millions of dollars in cash, stock and stock options in exchange for Hurd's agreements to protect HP's trade secrets and confidential information during his employment</b> ...

News of <b>Hurd joining Oracle gave a major boost to the company's value</b>. Oracle stock rose as much as $1.77 per share during the day, <b>adding nearly $8 billion in market value</b>....<br> <br> Under Hurd, HP began to focus on that market, while Oracle's $7 billion acquisition of Sun Microsystems put the <b>two companies in direct competition</b>. Shortly after Oracle's announcement on Monday, analyst Tim Bajarin of Creative Strategies Inc. of Campbell suggested HP might try to block Hurd's move to Oracle because he could provide a scouting report on HP's customer base and current strategies. &quot;HP had a fiduciary responsibility to sue Hurd to make sure he doesn't poach any HP customers,&quot; Bajarin said Tuesday. &quot;This is a normal business practice in cases like this&quot; ...<br> <br> &quot; The suit claims Hurd signed numerous nondisclosure agreements since he was hired in 2005 to replace Carly Fiorina and reaffirmed those contracts in a separation agreement he signed when he left HP. The fact that Hurd did not tell HP that he was accepting the Oracle job offer &quot;gives rise to a reasonable inference that he is violating his trade secret protection agreements with HP,&quot; the suit said. <br> <br> Also, Hurd said in an Oracle news release that he was excited about the company's Exadata <b>server</b> and new systems to be announced at the Oracle OpenWorld conference this month. &quot;What Hurd and everyone else also knows is that the<b> Exadata server mentioned in his quote is a direct competitive product to HP's Proliant Server</b>,&quot; the suit said. <br> <br> <a id="link_10" href="http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-09-08/business/23994503_1_hp-claims-hp-customers-mark-hurd"> http://articles.sfgate.com/2010-09-08/b<wbr>usiness/23994503_1_hp-claims-hp-customer<wbr>s-mark-hurd</a><br> &nbsp;</ul> <br> >A;54=55 - 2 @O4C 2KH5F8B8@>20==KE - A>>1I5=85 !
