Confidentiality Agreements The parties hereto agree that this Agreement supersedes any provision of the Confidentiality Agreements that could be interpreted to preclude the exercise of any rights or the fulfillment of any obligations under this Agreement, and that none of the provisions included in the Confidentiality Agreements will act to preclude Holder from exercising the Option or exercising any other rights under this Agreement or act to preclude Issuer from fulfilling any of its obligations under this Agreement.
Confidentiality Provisions 7.1 Pursuant to 42 USC 1396r-8(b)(3)(D), the parties agree that information disclosed by the Manufacturer under this Agreement in a form which discloses the identity of a specific Manufacturer or the prices charged for drugs by the Manufacturer is confidential and shall not be disclosed except as necessary to carry out the Agreement or as may be required by judicial order. Therefore, the Department agrees that confidential information provided to the Department under this Agreement, including the Agreement itself is exempted from disclosure by statute. To the extent that the Department utilizes the services of a third-party to develop and maintain the PDL or to administer any part of this Agreement, all provisions of this section shall apply to the third- party, and the Department shall have the third-party sign a written agreement ensuring the third- party will comply with all aspects of this section. In the event that the Department is required by law to disclose any provision of this Agreement or pricing information to any person other than as provided above, the Department shall provide advance written notice to the Manufacturer sufficiently in advance of the proposed disclosure to allow the Manufacturer to seek a protective order or other relief.
7.2 The parties agree that information revealing the identity of Medicaid recipients is confidential and shall not be disclosed except as necessary to carry out this Agreement or as may be required by judicial order. The foregoing shall not prevent the disclosure by the Manufacturer to the Department of information regarding the National Rebates for Covered Products.
7.3 The Manufacturer will hold the Utilization Information confidential. If the Manufacturer audits this information or receives further information on such data, that information shall also be held confidential. The Manufacturer shall have the right to disclose Utilization Information to auditors who agree to keep such information confidential.
7.4 The provisions of this section and any confidentiality agreement executed pursuant to this section shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement.
Confidentiality; Press Releases (a) Reliant and ASL will be exchanging confidential and proprietary information relating to the Active Ingredient and Products and their respective businesses at the inception of and from time to time during the term of this Agreement. The party receiving such information will maintain the information in confidence using the same standard of care it uses to maintain its own information in confidence. Such obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information which (i) is known to the receiving party prior to the disclosure, (ii) is publicly known as of the date of the disclosure, (iii) becomes publicly known after the date of disclosure through no fault of the receiving party, (iv) is received from a third party who has no obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party or (v) is developed independently by or for the receiving party. Such obligation of confidentiality shall continue for a period of five (5) years from the date of termination of this Agreement.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing Section 4.1(a), (i) Reliant shall be permitted to disclose to its manufacturers, subcontractors, wholesalers, other direct customers, investment bankers and/or financing sources such confidential information relating to the Products and this Agreement as Reliant shall reasonably determine to be necessary in order to effectively market and distribute the Products or otherwise engage in a bona fide financing transaction and (ii) ASL shall be permitted to disclose to its Affiliates, manufacturers, subcontractors, wholesalers, other direct customers, investment bankers and/or financing sources such confidential information relating to the Active Ingredient and Products as ASL may reasonably determine to be necessary to perform its obligations under this Agreement, provided that such entities undertake the same confidentiality obligation as the disclosing party has with respect to the other’s confidential information and provided that ASL and its Affiliates may disclose the fact of the Agreement for purposes of marketing its services.
(c) Except as may be required by applicable laws, rules or regulations (including in connection with a public offering of securities), neither party will originate any publicity, news release, or other public announcement, written or oral, whether to the public press or otherwise, relating to this Agreement, any amendment hereto or to performance hereunder, or the existence of an arrangement between the parties, without the prior written approval of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed (it being understood that such obligation is not intended to restrict either party’s ability to promote, market and sell the Products or its services in a commercially reasonable manner). In the event disclosure is required by applicable law, rules or regulations, then the party required to so disclose such information shall, to the extent possible, provide to the other party for its approval (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld) a written copy of such public announcement at least ten (10) business days prior to disclosure. In the absence of a communication approving or disapproving of the public announcement from the party with the right of approval by the end of such ten (10) day period, such party shall be deemed to have approved the public announcement.
Confidentiality Agreement As an employee of the Company, you will continue to have access to certain confidential information of the Company and you may, during the course of your employment, develop certain information or inventions that will be the property of the Company. To protect the interests of the Company, your acceptance of this Agreement confirms that the terms of the Company’s At-Will Employment, Confidential Information, Invention Assignment and Arbitration Agreement you previously signed with the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) still apply.
Confidentiality Undertaking You undertake (a) to keep all Confidential Information confidential and not to disclose it to anyone, save to the extent permitted by paragraph 2 below and to ensure that all Confidential Information is protected with security measures and a degree of care that would apply to your own confidential information, and (b) until the Acquisition is completed to use the Confidential Information only for the Permitted Purpose.
Confidentiality; Non-Disclosure The State shall exercise at least the same degree of care to safeguard any trade secrets or confidential information of Contractor as the State does its own property of a similar nature and shall take reasonable steps to ensure that neither the confidential information of Contractor nor any part of it will be disclosed for reasons other than its own business interests. Such prohibition on disclosures does not apply to disclosures by the State to its employees, agents or representatives, provided such disclosures are reasonably necessary to the State’s use of the Deliverable, and provided further that the State will take all reasonable steps to ensure that the Deliverable is not disclosed by such parties in contravention of this Contract. The State’s performance of the requirements of this Section shall be subject to the State of Connecticut Freedom of Information Act ("FOIA"). All Records, Client Agency Data, and any Data owned by the State in any form, in the possession of the Contractor or Contractor Parties, whether uploaded, collected, stored, held, hosted, located or utilized by Contractor and Contractor Parties directly or indirectly, must remain within the continental United States.
Confidentiality/Privacy FTIS shall keep the Confidential Information (as defined in Section 16(a) below) of the Investment Company in confidence and will not use or disclose or allow access to or use of such Confidential Information except (A) as appropriate in connection with activities contemplated by this Agreement; (B) as required pursuant to a court order, subpoena, governmental or regulatory or self-regulatory authority or agency, law, regulation, or binding discovery request in pending litigation (provided the receiving party will provide the other party written notice of such requirement, to the extent such notice is permitted, and subject to proper jurisdiction, if applicable); (C) as requested by a governmental, regulatory or self-regulatory authority or agency in connection with an inquiry, examination, audit or other review; or (D) the information or data is relevant and material to any claim or cause of action between the parties or the defense of any claim or cause of action asserted against FTIS.
Confidentiality/Nondisclosure 19.1 Neither Party will, without the prior written consent of the other Party (a) issue any public announcement regarding, or make any other disclosure of the terms of, this Agreement or use the name or marks of the other Party or its Affiliates; or (b) disclose or use (except as expressly permitted by, or required to achieve the purposes of, this Agreement) the Confidential Information of the other Party. Consent may only be given on behalf of a Party by its Legal Department. However, a Party may disclose Confidential Information if required to do so by a governmental agency, by operation of law, or if necessary in any proceeding to establish rights or obligations under this Agreement, provided that the disclosing Party gives the non-disclosing Party reasonable prior written notice and the receiving Party will cooperate with the disclosing Party to seek or take appropriate protective measures and will make such disclosure in a manner to best protect the Confidential Information from further disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if reporting or filing obligations or requirements are imposed upon Qwest by any third party or regulatory agency in connection with this Agreement, CLEC agrees to assist Qwest in complying with such obligations and requirements, as reasonably required by Qwest and to hold Qwest harmless for any failure by CLEC in this regard. Qwest’s compliance with any regulatory filing obligation will not constitute a violation of this section. Each Party will use reasonable efforts to protect the other’s Confidential Information, and will use at least the same efforts to protect such Confidential Information as the Party would use to protect its own.
19.2 All Confidential Information will remain the property of the disclosing Party. A Party who receives Confidential Information via an oral communication may request written confirmation that the material is Confidential Information. A Party who delivers Confidential Information via an oral communication may request written confirmation that the Party receiving the information understands that the material is Confidential Information. Each Party has the right to correct an inadvertent failure to identify information as Confidential Information by giving written notification within thirty (30) Days after the information is disclosed. The receiving Party will from that time forward, treat such information as Confidential Information.
19.3 Upon request by the disclosing Party, the receiving Party will return all tangible copies of Confidential Information, whether written, graphic or otherwise, except that the receiving Party may retain one copy for archival purposes.
19.4 Each Party will keep all of the other Party's Confidential Information confidential and will disclose it on a need to know basis only. Each Party will use the other Party's Confidential Information only in connection with this Agreement and in accordance with Applicable Law. Neither Party will use the other Party's Confidential Information for any other purpose except upon such terms and conditions as may be agreed upon between the Parties in writing. If either Party loses, or makes an unauthorized disclosure of, the other Party's Confidential Information, it will notify such other Party immediately and use reasonable efforts to retrieve the information.
