The Parties undertake with each other that they shall treat as strictly confidential all information received or obtained by them or their employees, agents or advisers in connection with the entry into or the performance of this Agreement including information relating to the provisions of this Agreement, the negotiations leading up to this Agreement, the subject matter of this Agreement, and the business or affairs of any other Party and subject to the provisions of this section that they will not at any time hereafter make use of or disclose or divulge to any Person any such information and shall use all reasonable efforts to prevent the publication or disclosure of any such information.
(ii). The restrictions contained in this section shall not: (A) apply to any disclosure which, pursuant to relevant Laws and rules, any Governmental Authority requires any Party to make (including the disclosure required to be made to any Governmental Authority in any Party’s application for consent or approval for transactions contemplated hereunder), provided that written consent as to the form and content (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the other Party has been obtained prior to any disclosure of information in public announcement involving such other Party; (B) restrict or prohibit any Party in or from making any disclosure to any professional adviser for the purposes of obtaining necessary professional advice; provided such Party shall procure that such professional adviser observes the confidentiality obligation set forth in this section; (C) apply to any disclosure from the Purchaser to its parent and any of its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers and employees; and (D) apply to information which was in the public domain or otherwise known to the relevant Party before it was furnished to it by another Party hereto or, after it was furnished to that Party, entered the public domain otherwise than as a result of a breach by that Party of this this section or a breach of a confidentiality obligation by the disclosing Party, where the breach was known to that Party.
(iii). No Party shall make, nor shall cause to be made, any press release or public announcement in respect of this Agreement, the identity of the parties to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated thereby or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of the other Party, unless otherwise required by Law or applicable stock exchange regulation (and then only after consultation with the other Party), and the Parties shall cooperate as to the timing and contents of any such press release, public announcement or communication. In the event that any Party or any of its agents, representatives, Affiliates, employees, officers or directors becomes legally compelled to disclose any such confidential information, such Party shall provide the other Party with prompt written notice of such requirement so that such other Party may seek a protective order or other remedy, or provide a written consent as to the form and content of the disclosure (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld) of the other Party prior to any such disclosure of confidential information. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or such other Party waive compliance with this this section, the Party legally compelled to disclose such confidential information shall furnish only that portion of such confidential information which is legally required to be provided and exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.
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. In any event and subject to the foregoing, the Company undertakes to file a Form 8-K (the “Form 8-K”) describing the Offering not later than the fourth (4th) business day after the Closing Date. In the Form 8-K, the Company will specifically disclose the amount of Common Stock outstanding immediately after the Closing. 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.
