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.
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.
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.
Confidentiality and Nondisclosure (a) Employee understands and agrees that he will be given Confidential Information (as defined below) and Training (as defined below) during his employment with Employer relating to the business of Employer and/or its Affiliates (as defined below). Employee hereby expressly agrees to maintain in strictest confidence and not to use in any way (including without limitation in any future business relationship of Employee), publish, disclose or authorize anyone else to use, publish or disclose in any way, any Confidential Information relating in any manner to the business or affairs of Employer and/or its Affiliates. Employee agrees further not to remove or retain any figures, calculations, letters, documents, lists, papers, or copies thereof, which embody Confidential Information of Employer and/or its Affiliates, and to return, prior to Employee's termination of employment, any such information in Employee's possession. If Employee discovers, or comes into possession of, any such information after his termination he shall promptly return it to Employer. Employee acknowledges that the provisions of this paragraph are consistent with Employer's Code of Conduct with which Employee, as an employee of Employer, is bound.
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 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.
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.
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.
