Confidential Information Protections 4.1 At all times during and after the Employee’s employment, the Employee will hold in confidence and will not disclose, use, lecture upon, or publish any of Company’s Confidential Information (defined below), except as may be required in connection with the Employee’s work for Company, or as expressly authorized by the Board. The Employee will obtain the written approval of the Board before publishing or submitting for publication any material (written, oral, or otherwise) that relates to the Employee’s work at Company and/or incorporates any Confidential Information. The Employee hereby assigns to Company any rights the Employee may have or acquire in any and all Confidential Information and recognize that all Confidential Information shall be the sole and exclusive property of Company and its assigns.
Confidential Obligations Licensor and Licensee each recognize that the other Party’s Confidential Information constitutes highly valuable and proprietary confidential information. Licensor and Licensee each agree that during the Term and for five (5) years thereafter, it will keep confidential, and will cause its employees, consultants (including academic collaborators and CROs), professional advisors, Affiliates and, in the case of Licensee, Sublicensees to keep confidential, all Confidential Information of the other Party. Neither Licensor nor Licensee nor any of their respective employees, consultants, Affiliates or, in the case of Licensee, Sublicensees, shall use any Confidential Information of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever other than exercising any rights granted to it hereunder or as expressly permitted in this Article 5. Licensee may disclose Licensor’s Confidential Information to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to file and prosecute patent applications and/or maintain patents which are filed or prosecuted in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, or to obtain any authorization to conduct clinical studies or any regulatory approval for Licensed Products. Each Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information as reasonably necessary to file, conduct or defend litigation in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement or comply with applicable laws, regulations or court orders; provided, however, that if a Party is required to make any such disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information in connection with any of the foregoing, it will give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure requirement and will use reasonable efforts to assist such other Party in efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information required to be disclosed.
Confidentiality Obligations Each Party or third party whose Confidential Information has been disclosed retains ownership of its Confidential Information. Each Party agrees to (i) protect the Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party in the same manner as it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and confidential materials but in no event with less than reasonable care; and (ii) use the Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party solely for the purpose of the Agreement. Upon termination of the Agreement or upon written request submitted by the Disclosing Party, whichever comes first, the Receiving Party shall return or destroy, at the Disclosing Party’s choice, all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, AVEVA shall not be required to return or destroy any such Confidential Information if such return or destruction is impracticable or technically infeasible. Except with respect to its Affiliates, employees, contractors, or agents who need to know Confidential Information in order to support the performance of such Party’s obligations related to the Agreement, and who are contractually bound by confidentiality obligations that are at least as protective as those contained in the Agreement, neither Party shall, disclose to any person any Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent. The Receiving Party will be responsible for any breach of this Section 5 (Confidentiality) by its Affiliates, employees, contractors, and agents and any third party to whom it discloses Confidential Information in accordance with this Section 5 (Confidentiality). For Confidential Information that does not constitute a “trade secret” under applicable law, these confidentiality obligations will expire three (3) years after the termination or expiration of the Agreement. For Confidential Information that constitutes a “trade secret” under applicable law, these confidentiality obligations will continue until such information ceases to constitute a “trade secret” under such applicable law. However, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to an order of a court or governmental agency, provided, that, if permitted by applicable law, the Receiving Party shall first notify the Disclosing Party of such order and afford the Disclosing Party the opportunity to seek a protective order relating to such disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Customer authorizes AVEVA to collect, use, disclose, and modify in perpetuity information or data (including, but not limited to, general usage information and measurements) that is provided by Customer in connection with the use or receipt of the Products and Support Services (or generated or created in the course of AVEVA providing the Products and Support Services) for the purposes of developing, improving, optimizing, and delivering Products and Support Services; provided, however, that any disclosure of such data shall only include information or data that AVEVA develops or derives from such collected data or information (but such disclosure will not include the actual underlying Confidential Information of Customer).
Confidential Information and Trade Secrets During the period of my employment with the Company, I acknowledge that the Company may disclose to me confidential and proprietary information of the Company which the Company takes great pains to safeguard from unauthorized use and disclosure. I agree at all times during the term of my employment and thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use or to disclose to any person, firm or corporation, except as such use or disclosure is required in connection with my work for the Company or unless the Chief Executive Officer of the Company otherwise expressly authorizes in writing, any Confidential Information (defined below) before it has become generally known within the relevant industry through no fault of my own. I understand and agree that “Confidential Information” means any non-public information that does not otherwise qualify as Trade Secrets (defined below) that relates to the actual or demonstrably anticipated business or research or development of the Company or any other information which is marked “confidential” or which might reasonably be anticipated to be confidential in nature. I further agree, at all times during my employment and anytime thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use or disclose to any person, firm or corporation, except as such use or disclosure is required in connection with my work for the Company or unless the Chief Executive Officer of the Company expressly authorizes such use or disclosure in writing, any Trade Secret (defined below) before it has become generally known in the public domain through no fault of my own. I understand and agree that “Trade Secrets” are information, regardless of form, belonging to the Company, licensed by it, or disclosed to it on a confidential basis by its customers, suppliers, or other third parties, including, but not limited to technical and non-technical data, formulae, patterns, compilations, programs, devices, methods, techniques, drawings, processes, financial data, financial plans, product plans, and lists of actual or potential customers or suppliers which is not commonly known in the public domain and which (i) derives economic value, economic or potential, from not being generally known to, and not being readily ascertainable by proper means by, other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use; and (ii) is the subject of efforts that are reasonable under the circumstances to maintain its secrecy, or any other information that constitutes a trade secret under common law.

(d) Subject to Sections 15.2(b), 15.2(c), and 15.4, the Receiving Party will keep the Confidential Information of the Furnishing Party confidential and secure and will protect it from unauthorized use or disclosure by using at least the same degree of care as the Receiving Party employs to avoid unauthorized use or disclosure of its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care.
(e) In the event of any actual or suspected unauthorized disclosure, loss of, or inability to account for any Confidential Information of the Furnishing Party occurs, the Receiving Party will promptly so notify the Furnishing Party and will cooperate with the Furnishing Party and take such actions as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the Furnishing Party to minimize the violation and any damage resulting from it.

At DFS’ direction in its discretion at any time, and in any event upon any termination under or expiration of this Agreement, BancTec will immediately return to DFS any or all corresponding NPI and will destroy all records of such NPI. Otherwise, to the extent any applicable NPI is no longer necessary for the performance of Services, BancTec will return to DFS or destroy all records of such NPI.
