that "effectuate the non-compete agreement" is doing some work, it would be one thing if Google said to Apple, we want your guarantee that you will not be entering the search engine market and in return we will give you this - then it is a non-compete agreement - but as it is it is a default search engine agreement.

No idea what (3) regular secret meetings between the executives of both companies; means - but it sure sounds realllly bad and nefarious!

"would be one thing if Google said to Apple, we want your guarantee that you will not be entering the search engine market"

Which executive is going to be dumb enough to put a crime in writing?

It's clear to anyone with half a brain that if Apple enters the search market, the deal is off.
