Related to Confidential Information and Public Records Requests

• Confidential Information During the course of this Agreement, each Party (the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) certain confidential and/or proprietary information of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”). The Receiving Party agrees to protect the Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own confidential and/or proprietary information of like kind, but in no event using less than a reasonable standard of care. Except with the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent, the Receiving Party shall not (a) disclose or use any Confidential Information for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement; or (b) disclose or make the Confidential Information available to any party, except on a “need to know” basis to the Receiving Party’s employees, contractors, and agents that have signed an agreement containing non-disclosure and non-use provisions substantially similar to those set forth herein. Confidential Information shall not include any information that (i) is or becomes generally known to the public, other than as a result of an act or omission of the Receiving Party; (ii) was rightfully known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (iii) was lawfully received from a third party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reliance on Confidential Information. If the Receiving Party is required by applicable law or regulation to disclose or otherwise report Confidential Information, it shall provide prompt notice of such required disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party's cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure. Due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information, the Parties agree that there can be no adequate remedy at law for the Receiving Party’s breach of its obligations under this Section, and any such breach may result in irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party. Therefore, upon any such breach or threat thereof, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief in addition to any other remedies available to it. Upon written request from the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall return to the Disclosing Party all Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession or control, and all copies thereof, or, at the Disclosing Party’s option, certify its permanent, secure destruction in writing.

The press releases disseminated by the Company during the twelve months preceding the date of this Agreement taken as a whole do not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary in order to make the statements therein, in the light of the circumstances under which they were made and when made, not misleading. The Company acknowledges and agrees that no Purchaser makes or has made any representations or warranties with respect to the transactions contemplated hereby other than those specifically set forth in Section 3.2 hereof.

To the Company’s knowledge, all material technical information developed by and belonging to the Company which has not been patented has been kept confidential. The Company is not a party to or bound by any options, licenses or agreements with respect to the Intellectual Property Rights of any other person or entity that are required to be set forth in the Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus and are not described therein. The Registration Statement, the Pricing Disclosure Package and the Prospectus contain in all material respects the same description of the matters set forth in the preceding sentence.

None of, and neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of, the Intellectual Property Rights has expired, terminated or been abandoned, or is expected to expire or terminate or be abandoned, within two (2) years from the date of this Agreement. Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received, since the date of the latest audited financial statements included within the SEC Reports, a written notice of a claim or otherwise has any knowledge that the Intellectual Property Rights violate or infringe upon the rights of any Person, except as could not have or reasonably be expected to not have a Material Adverse Effect. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
