Nondisclosure Covenant The parties acknowledge that Employer and its affiliates are enterprises whose success is attributable largely to the ownership, use and development of certain valuable confidential and proprietary information (the “Proprietary Information”), and that Employee’s employment with Employer will involve access to and work with such information. Employee acknowledges that his relationship with Employer is a confidential relationship, and agrees that (i) he shall keep and maintain the Proprietary Information in strictest confidence, and (ii) he shall not, either directly or indirectly, use any Proprietary Information for his own benefit, or divulge, disclose or communicate any Proprietary Information in any manner whatsoever to any person or Entity other than to employees or agents of Employer having a need to know such Proprietary Information to perform their responsibilities on behalf of Employer, and to other persons or Entities in the normal course of Employer’s business. This nondisclosure obligation shall apply to all Proprietary Information, whether or not Employee participated in the development thereof. Upon termination of his employment with Employer for any reason, Employee will return to Employer all Proprietary Information in any medium and all other documents, data, materials or property of Employer (including any copies thereof) in his possession. For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Proprietary Information” shall include any and all proprietary information related to the business of Employer and its affiliates and stockholders, or to any of their products, services, sales or operations, which is not generally known to the public, specifically including (but without limitation): trade secrets, processes, formulae, compounds and properties thereof, data, files, research results, computer programs and related source codes and object codes, improvements, inventions, techniques, marketing plans, strategies, forecasts, copyrightable material, suppliers, methods and manner of operations; information relating to the identity, needs and location of all past, present and prospective customers; and information with respect to the internal affairs of Employer and its affiliates. Such Proprietary Information may or may not contain legends or other written notice that it is of a confidential or proprietary nature. The parties stipulate that, as between them, the above-described matters are important and confidential and gravely affect the successful conduct of the business of Employer and its affiliates and that any breach of the terms of this Section 5(b) shall be a material breach of this Agreement.
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.
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.
Post-Closing Confidentiality From and after the Closing, the Sellers and Wind Down Co. will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, hold in strict confidence, and will not use to the detriment of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, all non-public information with respect to the Business, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Seller or Wind Down Co. may disclose such information (a) if such Seller or Wind Down Co. is compelled to disclose the same by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law (but subject to the following provisions of this Section 5.18), (b) if the same currently is in the public domain or hereafter is in the public domain through no fault of such Seller or Wind Down Co. or any of its Affiliates or (c) if the same is later acquired by such Seller or Wind Down Co. or any of its Affiliates from another source that is not under an obligation to another Person to keep such information confidential, or (d) if necessary in connection with the administration of the Bankruptcy Cases and the wind-down of the Sellers’ estates. If any Seller, Wind Down Co. or any of its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”) becomes legally required (by interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand, rule of civil procedure or other similar process) to disclose any such non-public confidential information, the Disclosing Party shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice of any such requirement so that Buyer may seek, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.18. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Buyer, the Disclosing Party nonetheless, based on the written advice of outside counsel, is required to disclose such non-public confidential information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, the Disclosing Party, without liability hereunder, may disclose that portion of such information which such counsel advises the Disclosing Party it is legally required to disclose. Each of the Sellers and or Wind Down Co. acknowledges and agrees that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of its agreements contained in this Section 5.18 and that in addition to any other remedies available to Buyer, Buyer shall be entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of this Section 5.18.
Confidentiality/Nondisclosure Employee covenants and agrees that any and all information concerning the customers, businesses and services of the Corporation of which he has knowledge or access as a result of his association with the Corporation in any capacity, shall be deemed confidential in nature and shall not, without the proper written consent of the Corporation, be directly or indirectly used, disseminated, disclosed or published by Employee to third parties other than in connection with the usual conduct of the business of the Corporation. Such information shall expressly include, but shall not be limited to, information concerning the Corporation’s trade secrets, business operations, business records, customer lists or other customer information. Upon termination of employment Employee shall deliver to the Corporation all originals and copies of documents, forms, records or other information, in whatever form it may exist, concerning the Corporation or its business, customers, products or services. In construing this provision it is agreed that it shall be interpreted broadly so as to provide the Corporation with the maximum protection. This Section 11 shall not be applicable to any information which, through no misconduct or negligence of Employee, has previously been disclosed to the public by anyone other than Employee.
Nondisclosure of Agreement The terms and conditions of this Agreement are confidential. Executive agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to anyone except immediate family members and Executive’s attorneys and financial advisers. Executive further agrees to inform these people that the Agreement is confidential and must not be disclosed to anyone else. Executive may disclose the terms of this Agreement if compelled to do so by a court, but Executive agrees to notify the Company immediately if anyone seeks to compel Executive’s testimony in this regard, and to cooperate with the Company if the Company decides to oppose such effort. Executive agrees that disclosure by Executive in violation of this Agreement would cause so much injury to the Company that money alone could not fully compensate the Company and that the Company is entitled to injunctive and equitable relief. Executive also agrees that the Company would be entitled to recover money from Executive if this Agreement were violated.
Nondisclosure of Terms Each of the parties hereto agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that a party may disclose the terms of this Agreement without such consent to such party’s attorneys and advisors, to Third Parties in connection with due diligence or similar investigations, to potential Third Party investors, and others on a need to know basis, in each case under terms of confidentiality that are appropriate for the circumstances, or to the extent required by law.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures; Deficiencies in or Changes to Internal Control Over Financial Reporting The Company has established and maintains disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Exchange Act), which (i) are designed to ensure that material information relating to the Company, including its consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the Company’s principal executive officer and its principal financial officer by others within those entities, particularly during the periods in which the periodic reports required under the Exchange Act are being prepared; (ii) have been evaluated by management of the Company for effectiveness as of the end of the Company’s most recent fiscal quarter; and (iii) are effective in all material respects to perform the functions for which they were established. Since the end of the Company’s most recent audited fiscal year, there have been no significant deficiencies or material weakness in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting (whether or not remediated) and no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. The Company is not aware of any change in its internal control over financial reporting that has occurred during its most recent fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.
Non-Disclosure Covenant The Company and NewCo recognize and acknowledge that each has in the past, currently has, and in the future may possibly have, access to certain Confidential Information of APP that is valuable, special and a unique asset of such entity's business. APP acknowledges that it had in the past, currently has, and in the future may possibly have, access to certain Confidential Information of the Company and NewCo that is valuable, special and a unique asset of each such business. The Company, NewCo and APP, severally, agree that they will not disclose such Confidential Information to any person, firm, corporation, association or other entity for any purpose or reason whatsoever, except (a) to authorized representatives of APP, NewCo and the Company and (b) to counsel and other advisers to APP, NewCo and the Company provided that such advisers (other than counsel) agree to the confidentiality provisions of this Section 16.1, unless (i) such information becomes available to or known by the public generally through no fault of the Company, NewCo or APP, as the case may be, (ii) disclosure is required by law or the order of any governmental authority under color of law, provided, that prior to disclosing any information pursuant to this clause (ii) the Company, NewCo or APP, as the case may be, shall, if possible, give prior written notice thereof to the Company, NewCo or APP and provide the Company or APP with the opportunity to contest such disclosure, (iii) the disclosing party reasonably believes that such disclosure is required in connection with the defense of a lawsuit against the disclosing party, or (iv) the disclosing party is the sole and exclusive owner of such Confidential Information as a result of the Merger or otherwise. In the event of a breach or threatened breach by the Company, on the one hand, and APP, on the other hand, of the provisions of this Section, APP, NewCo and the Company shall be entitled to an injunction restraining the other party, as the case may be, from disclosing, in whole or in part, such Confidential Information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting any of such parties from pursuing any other available remedy for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of damages.
