Contractor agrees that all information disclosed by City to Contractor shall be held in confidence and used only in performance of the Agreement.

The Fund shall keep the Information confidential by using the same care and discretion that the Fund uses with respect to its own confidential property and trade secrets, but not less than reasonable care. Upon termination of the Agreement or the Software license granted herein for any reason, the Fund shall return to Custodian any and all copies of the Information which are in its possession or under its control.

Intellectual Property Confidentiality Purchaser shall defend, indemnify and hold Seller harmless from all expenses, losses and other damages resulting from any actual or alleged infringement of patents, copyrights or trademarks arising from Seller’s compliance with Purchaser’s designs, specifications or instructions.

Any design, manufacturing drawings or other information submitted to Purchaser shall remain the exclusive property of Seller. Purchaser shall not, without Seller's prior written consent, copy nor disclose such information to any person. The information, drawings, plans, standards, and specifications furnished by Seller were developed at Seller's expense and may not, without Seller's prior written consent, be used nor disclosed by Purchaser for any purpose other than to install, own, operate, and maintain the subject Equipment. If Seller's Equipment is held to infringe a United States patent in effect as of the date of this Agreement, then Seller may at its option procure for Purchaser the right to use the Equipment; modify or replace it with non-infringing Equipment; refund the purchase price allocable to the infringing Equipment or settle or otherwise terminate said actions on behalf of Purchaser. The foregoing is Xxxxxx's entire liability on patent infringements.

If for any reason Employee refuses or is unable to assist Employer in obtaining or enforcing its rights with respect to such Developments, he hereby irrevocably designates and appoints Employer and its duly authorized agents as his agents and attorneys-in-fact to execute and file any documents and to do all other lawful acts necessary to protect Employer’s rights in the Developments. Employee expressly acknowledges that the special foregoing power of attorney is coupled with an interest and is therefore irrevocable and shall survive (i) his death or incompetency, (ii) the termination of his employment with Employer and (iii) the termination of this Agreement.
