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.
Access; Confidentiality (a) At all times during the period commencing with the execution and delivery of this Agreement and continuing until the earlier to occur of the termination of this Agreement pursuant to Article VIII and the Merger Effective Time, the Company shall afford Parent, and Parent shall afford the Company, and each of their respective financial advisors, business consultants, legal counsel, accountants and other agents and representatives reasonable access during normal business hours, upon reasonable notice, to its properties, books and records and personnel; provided, however, that the disclosing party may restrict or otherwise prohibit access to any documents or information to the extent that (i) any applicable Law requires such party to restrict or otherwise prohibit access to such documents or information or (ii) access to such documents or information would give rise to a waiver of any attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege applicable to such documents or information, and provided further, that no information or knowledge obtained by the receiving party in any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.05 shall affect or be deemed to modify any representation or warranty of the disclosing party set forth in this Agreement or otherwise impair the rights and remedies available to receiving party hereunder. If the Company or Parent does not provide access or information in reliance on the preceding sentence, it shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to communicate the applicable information to the other party in a way that would not violate the applicable Law or obligation or to waive such a privilege including by providing such information in redacted form as necessary to preserve such a privilege or comply with such Law or otherwise make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements, to the extent possible. Any investigation conducted pursuant to the access contemplated by this Section 6.05 shall be conducted in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the conduct of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries or Parent and its Subsidiaries. Nothing in this Section 6.05 or elsewhere in this Agreement shall be construed to require the Company, any of its Subsidiaries, Parent, any of its Subsidiaries, or any of their respective Representatives of any of the foregoing to prepare any reports, analyses, appraisals, opinions or other information or to allow sampling of any environmental media or building component.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Proprietary Information does not include information that is otherwise publicly known or available, provided it has not become public as a result of a breach of this Agreement or any other agreement Executive has to keep information confidential. It is not a breach of this Agreement for Executive to disclose Proprietary Information (i) pursuant to an order of a court or other governmental or legal body or (ii) in connection with Protected Activity (as defined below). Executive understands that nothing in this Agreement shall in any way limit or prohibit Executive from engaging in any Protected Activity. For purposes of this Agreement, “Protected Activity” means filing a charge or complaint with, or otherwise communicating or cooperating with or participating in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any federal, state or local government agency or commission, including the Securities and Exchange Commission, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration, and the National Labor Relations Board (“Government Agencies”). Executive understands that in connection with such Protected Activity, Executive is permitted to disclose documents or other information as permitted by law, and without giving notice to, or receiving authorization from, the Company. Notwithstanding, in making any such disclosures or communications, Executive agrees to take all reasonable precautions to prevent any unauthorized use or disclosure of any information that may constitute Proprietary Information to any parties other than the Government Agencies. Executive further understands that “Protected Activity” does not include the disclosure of any Company attorney-client privileged communications.

If that protective order or other remedy is not obtained by the date that the Receiving Party must comply with the request, or if the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, the Receiving Party agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required in the reasonable opinion of its counsel, and to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to that portion of the Confidential Information which is being furnished or disclosed.
