Public Statements and Disclosure The initial press release concerning this Agreement and the Merger will be a joint press release reasonably acceptable to the Company and Parent and will be issued promptly following the execution and delivery of this Agreement. Thereafter, unless the Company Special Committee has made a Company Recommendation Change, the Company and its Representatives, on the one hand, and Parent and Merger Sub and their respective Representatives, on the other hand, will consult with the other Parties before (a) participating in any media interviews; (b) engaging in any meetings or calls with analysts, institutional investors or other similar Persons; or (c) providing any statements that are public or are reasonably likely to become public, in each case to the extent relating to this Agreement or the Merger and neither party shall issue any press release or make any public announcement or statement without the consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed; provided, that to the extent such release or announcement is required by applicable Law or any listing agreement with or rule of any national securities exchange or association upon which the securities of the Company are listed, the party required to make the release, announcement or statement shall use reasonable best efforts to consult with the other Party about, and allow the other Party reasonable time (taking into account the circumstances) to comment on, such release, announcement or statement in advance of such issuance. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Parent nor the Company will be obligated to engage in such consultation with respect to communications that are (i) principally directed to its employees, drivers, suppliers, customers, partners or vendors so long as such communications are consistent with prior communications previously agreed to by Parent and the Company and do not add additional material information not included in such previous communication (in which case such communications may be made consistent with such plan); (ii) related to a Superior Proposal or Company Recommendation Change or, in each case, any action taken pursuant thereto; (iii) with respect to any dispute or Legal Proceeding solely among the Parties or their respective Affiliates related to this Agreement or the Transaction Documents; or (iv) substantively consistent with previous public disclosures made by the Parties in compliance with this Section 6.13 and which do not add additional material information not included in such previous disclosure. Parent will not be obligated to engage in such consultation with respect to communications that are principally directed to its existing or prospective equity holders and investors of Parent or its Affiliates, so long as such communications are consistent with prior communications previously agreed to by Parent and the Company and do not add additional material information not included in such previous communication.
Restrictions on Use and Disclosure Covered Entity shall notify Business Associate of any restriction on the use or disclosure of PHI that Covered Entity has agreed to in accordance with 45 C.F.R. § 164.522, to the extent such restriction may affect Business Associate’s use or disclosure of PHI.
Publicity and Disclosures No press releases or public disclosure, either written or oral, of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, shall be made by a party to this Agreement without the prior knowledge and written consent of Buyer and the Company.
Press Releases and Disclosure The Company may issue a press release describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby as soon as practicable following the date of this Agreement, and may file with the Commission a Current Report on Form 8-K, with this Agreement attached as an exhibit thereto, describing the material terms of the transactions contemplated hereby, and the Company shall consult with the Agent prior to making such disclosures, and the parties hereto shall use all commercially reasonable efforts, acting in good faith, to agree upon a text for such disclosures that is reasonably satisfactory to all parties hereto. No party hereto shall issue thereafter any press release or like public statement (including, without limitation, any disclosure required in reports filed with the Commission pursuant to the Exchange Act) related to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written approval of the other party hereto, except as may be necessary or appropriate in the reasonable opinion of the party seeking to make disclosure to comply with the requirements of applicable law or stock exchange rules. If any such press release or like public statement is so required, the party making such disclosure shall consult with the other party prior to making such disclosure, and the parties shall use all commercially reasonable efforts, acting in good faith, to agree upon a text for such disclosure that is reasonably satisfactory to all parties hereto.
Use and Disclosure All Confidential Information of a party will be held in confidence by the other party with at least the same degree of care as such party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of like kind and import, but not less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither party will disclose in any manner Confidential Information of the other party in any form to any person or entity without the other party’s prior consent. However, each party may disclose relevant aspects of the other party’s Confidential Information to its officers, affiliates, agents, subcontractors and employees to the extent reasonably necessary to perform its duties and obligations under this Agreement and such disclosure is not prohibited by applicable law. Without limiting the foregoing, each party will implement physical and other security measures and controls designed to protect (a) the security and confidentiality of Confidential Information; (b) against any threats or hazards to the security and integrity of Confidential Information; and (c) against any unauthorized access to or use of Confidential Information. To the extent that a party delegates any duties and responsibilities under this Agreement to an agent or other subcontractor, the party ensures that such agent and subcontractor are contractually bound to confidentiality terms consistent with the terms of this Section 11.
Use and Disclosure Restrictions Each party shall not use the other party’s Confidential Information except as necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement. Each party shall not disclose the other party’s Confidential Information to any third party except to those of its employees, subcontractors, and advisers that need to know such Confidential Information for the purposes of this Agreement, provided that each such third party is subject to a written agreement that includes binding use and disclosure restrictions that are at least as protective of Confidential Information as those set forth herein. Each party will use all reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession or control, but in no event less than the efforts that party ordinarily uses with respect to its own proprietary information of similar nature and importance. The foregoing obligations will not restrict either party from disclosing Confidential Information of the other party: (i) pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, provided that the party required to make such a disclosure gives reasonable notice to the other party to contest such order or requirement; or (ii) on an as-needed, confidential basis to its legal or financial advisors. In addition, each party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement as required under applicable securities regulations and on a confidential basis to current or prospective investors or acquirers of such party.
Use and Disclosure of PHI Business Associate is limited to the following permitted and required uses or disclosures of PHI:
a. Duty to Protect PHI. Business Associate shall protect PHI from, and shall use appropriate safeguards, and comply with Subpart C of 45 CFR Part 164 (Security Standards for the Protection of Electronic Protected Health Information) with respect to EPHI, to prevent the unauthorized Use or disclosure of PHI other than as provided for in this Contract or as required by law, for as long as the PHI is within its possession and control, even after the termination or expiration of this Contract.
Public Announcements The parties agree to consult with each other before issuing any press release or making any public statement with respect to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby and, except as may be required by applicable law or any listing agreement with any national securities exchange, will not issue any such press release or make any such public statement prior to such consultation.
Public Announcements; Confidentiality (a) Unless otherwise required by applicable Law or by the rules of the Stock Exchange, each Party and Hall shall not, and each Party and Hall shall cause its Affiliates, agents, representatives, and professionals not to, make any disclosure or public announcements or otherwise communicate with any news media without the prior written consent of Seller and Purchaser in respect of this Agreement and the other Transaction Documents or the transactions contemplated hereby and thereby (including price and terms); provided, however, that this restriction shall not apply to any disclosures that Purchaser or its Affiliates or their agents or representatives reasonably determine are required to be included in the Filings or in any offering memorandum or similar document for any equity or debt financing of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates. If such disclosure is required by applicable Law, such Party or Hall (as applicable) shall promptly notify Seller and Purchaser in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which such Party or Hall is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that such Party or Hall shall promptly notify Seller and Purchaser in writing so that Seller or Purchaser shall be able to seek to obtain, an appropriate protective Order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information. The Confidentiality Agreement, to which an Affiliate of Purchaser and Seller are parties, dated February 15, 2017 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), shall terminate as of Closing.
(b) From and after the Closing, each of Seller and Hall shall, and shall cause their respective Affiliates, agents, representatives, and professionals to, hold in confidence (and not disclose or provide access to any other Person) and not use, any and all confidential or proprietary information, whether written or oral, concerning the Business, except to the extent that Seller or Hall can show that such information: (i) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Seller or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives; or (ii) was lawfully acquired by Seller and Hall or any of their respective Affiliates or representatives from and after the Closing from sources unrelated to Purchaser or Seller which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Seller or any of its respective Affiliates or representatives is compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of Law, Seller or Hall shall promptly notify Purchaser in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Seller or Hall is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed; provided, however, that Seller shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, and immediately notify Purchaser in writing so that Purchaser shall be able to seek to obtain, an appropriate protective Order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.
