Prior Confidentiality Agreement As of the Effective Date, the terms of this Article 13 shall supersede any prior non-disclosure, secrecy or confidentiality agreement between the Parties (or their Affiliates) relating to the subject of this Agreement, including the Confidentiality Agreement. Any information disclosed pursuant to any such prior agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement.
Employee Confidentiality Agreements The members of each Group have entered into confidentiality and non- disclosure agreements with their respective employees. To the extent that any employee during or after employment violates any such agreement and such violation is or may in the future be to the detriment of the other Group, at the written request of the affected party, the other party shall, or shall cause the appropriate members of its Group to, promptly bring and diligently pursue an action against such employee if and to the extent reasonable under the circumstances to preserve the value of the assets and Licensed Materials. The Group member employing the employee violating his/her confidentiality and non- disclosure agreement shall have the unilateral right to determine the forum for, the manner of proceeding in, and legal counsel for such action and shall be entitled to any damages or other relief against such employee awarded in such action to the extent related to such Group's assets or business or to the Licensed Materials. Such enforcement against and recovery by a Group member from its breaching employee shall not constitute a release or sole remedy for the members of the other Group injured by such breaching employee's actions, and such members of the other Group may bring a claim against the Group members employing the breaching employee for a breach of this Agreement. Each party shall bear all out-of-pocket costs of pursuing such action and the other party shall cooperate in connection therewith.
Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement The Executive agrees and acknowledges that the Executive is bound by the Employee Invention Assignment and Confidentiality Agreement entered into by and between the Executive and the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), including but not limited to the Executive’s confidentiality, non-competition and non-solicitation obligations thereunder.
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.
Non Competition and Confidentiality The Executive agrees that:
Term of Confidentiality The obligations of this Article 5 shall continue for a period of **** following the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Noncompetition and Confidentiality (a) The parties recognize that the employment of Executive with the Company has been and will continue to be special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and in connection with such employment Executive has and will continue to acquire special skill and training. The parties also recognize that the covenants of Executive contained in this Section 9 are an essential part of Executive’s engagement by the Company and that, but for the agreement of the Executive to comply with such covenants, the Company would not have entered into this Agreement. Executive accordingly agrees that, during the Term, (i) Executive shall not act or serve, directly or indirectly, as a principal, agent, independent contractor, consultant, director, officer, executive, employee or advisor or in any other position or capacity with or for, or acquire a direct or indirect ownership interest in or otherwise conduct (whether as stockholder, partner, investor, joint venturer, or as owner of any other type of interest), any Competing Business (defined below); provided, however, that this clause shall not prohibit the Executive from being the owner of (A) up to 5% of any class of outstanding securities of any entity if such class of securities is publicly traded or (B) any other securities owned by Executive on the date of this Agreement, and (ii) Executive shall not, in connection with or for the benefit of any person or entity engaged in the non-hazardous solid waste business, solicit, induce, divert or take away, any officer, employee or consultant of the Company.
General Confidentiality Each of the Parties will treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information of the other Parties, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and unless there is a closing on the Exchange, deliver promptly to the owner of such Confidential Information or destroy, at the request and option of the owner of the Confidential Information, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in its possession. In the event that any of the Parties is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, that Party will notify the affected Party promptly of the request or requirement so that the affected Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.1. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any of the Parties is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, that Party may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the disclosing Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request of the affected Party, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the affected Party shall designate. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information which is generally available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure.
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 Employee Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement you previously signed with the Company (the “Confidentiality Agreement”) still apply.
Confidentiality; Publicity Upon execution of this Agreement, Purchasers will issue a press release regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby in the form attached hereto as Exhibit J. Except for the press release referenced in the preceding sentence and as otherwise required by Law or applicable requirements of any stock exchange, no press release or public announcement related to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby or, prior to the Closing, any other announcement or communication (other than communications by the Company Entities, Purchasers or any of their respective officers, managers, employees and agents in the ordinary course of business) to the employees, customers, suppliers or other business relations of the Company Entities or Purchasers shall be issued or made without the joint approval of Purchasers and Seller, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, and the parties shall use reasonable efforts to agree upon the text of any such press release or public announcement prior to its release; provided that Seller and its Affiliates shall be entitled to communicate with their respective investors relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby; provided, further, that no party shall be required to mention or otherwise use the name of another party or its Affiliates (other than the Company Entities) in such press release or public announcement and such omission shall not be used as a basis for withholding approval of such press release or public announcement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may make announcements and communications regarding this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby consisting solely of information contained in and otherwise consistent with any previously issued press release or public announcement to such party's employees, customers, suppliers and other interested parties without the consent of the other parties.
