• Confidentiality; Press Releases 11.1 Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure. Salton agrees that any and all information in any form that is provided to Salton or any of its representatives as part of this Agreement is provided and received in confidence, and Salton, shall at all times preserve and protect the confidentiality of such information, and of any other proprietary or non-public information of or relating to Kmart or any of its related companies of which it or any of its representatives becomes aware or acquires during the performance of this Agreement (such information is hereinafter referred to as "Confidential Information"). Salton also agrees that it shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that such Confidential Information will not be disclosed to, or used by any person, association or entity except its own employees, and then only to the extent necessary to permit it to perform this Agreement. Each of Salton and Kmart agrees to keep the Minimum Product Orders, pricing, and Term of this Agreement (including rights of extension and termination) strictly confidential, except that each of Salton and Kmart shall be permitted to disclose any and all information concerning the transactions contemplated hereby to the extent it is legally required to do so, whether under applicable securities laws or otherwise, provided, that Salton will use its reasonable best efforts to file with the Securities and Exchange Commission or any other applicable regulator or court a request for confidential treatment of the pricing and other business terms set forth in this Agreement. In the course of performance of this Agreement, Salton may disclose certain information to Kmart which Salton considers proprietary and confidential. In order to be considered as proprietary and confidential and, thus, subject to the following restrictions, Salton must comply with both of the following requirements prior to disclosure of the information: (i) the information must be clearly and conspicuously identified in writing as "PROPRIETARY AND CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OF SALTON'; and (ii) Salton must limit its dissemination of the information to an authorized representative of Kmart (i.e., one listed on attached Exhibit E) with a need to know such information in furtherance of the performance of this Agreement (the "Authorized Recipient") Provided Salton has complied with (i) and (ii) above, the Authorized Recipient shall maintain the confidentiality of such information to the same extent Kmart protects its own proprietary information and shall not disclose it to anyone other than Kmart employees, agents and/or consultants with a need to know who shall also be subject to this restriction. Confidential Information shall not include information that a party can demonstrate by written evidence:

Nothing in this Section 6.06 shall limit the ability of any party hereto to make additional disclosures that are consistent in all but de minimis respects with the prior public disclosures regarding the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

• Confidentiality/Public Announcement From the date of this Agreement and until the End Date, the Company agrees that except in connection with a Form 8-K, Form 10-Q, Form 10-K and the registration statement or statements regarding the Subscribers’ Securities or in correspondence with the Commission regarding same, it will not disclose publicly or privately the identity of the Subscribers unless expressly agreed to in writing by Subscribers or only to the extent required by law and then only upon not less than five days prior notice to Subscribers.

Upon delivery by the Company to the Subscribers after the Closing Date of any notice or information, in writing, electronically or otherwise, and while a Note, Conversion Shares or Warrants are held by Subscribers, unless the Company has in good faith determined that the matters relating to such notice do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries, the Company shall within four (4) days after any such delivery publicly disclose such material, nonpublic information on a Report on Form 8-K. In the event that the Company believes that a notice or communication to Subscribers contains material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries, except as required to be delivered in connection with this Agreement, the Company shall so indicate to Subscribers prior to delivery of such notice or information. Subscribers will be granted five days to notify the Company that Subscriber elects not to receive such information. In the case that Subscriber elects not to receive such information, the Company will not deliver such information to Subscribers. In the absence of any such Company indication, Subscribers shall be allowed to presume that all matters relating to such notice and information do not constitute material, nonpublic information relating to the Company or Subsidiaries.

• Press Releases and Public Announcements No Party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement relating to the subject matter of this Agreement without the prior written approval of the other Party; provided, however, that any Party may make any public disclosure it believes in good faith is required by applicable law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly-traded securities (in which case the disclosing Party will use its reasonable best efforts to advise the other Party prior to making the disclosure).

In this connection, pending public disclosure thereof, each of the parties hereto severally and not jointly agrees not to disclose or discuss such matters with anyone not a party to this Agreement (other than its counsel, advisors, corporate parents and affiliates) without the prior written consent of the other parties hereto, except for filings required pursuant to the Exchange Act and the rules and regulations thereunder or disclosures its counsel advises are necessary in order to fulfill its obligations imposed by law or the requirements of any securities exchange. At all times during the term of this Agreement, the parties hereto will consult with each other before issuing or making any reports, statements or releases to the public with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and will use good faith efforts to agree on the text of public reports, statements or releases.
