Protection of Trade Secrets The Executive agrees to maintain in strict confidence and, except as necessary to perform his duties for the Employer, the Executive agrees not to use or disclose any Trade Secrets of the Employer during or after his employment. “Trade Secret” means information, including a formula, pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, process, drawing, cost data or customer list, that: (i) derives economic value, actual 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.
Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information Executive agrees that Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any Person other than Employer, or reveal, divulge, or disclose any Confidential Information to any Person not expressly authorized by Employer to receive such Confidential Information. This obligation shall remain in effect for as long as the information or materials in question retain their status as Confidential Information. Executive further agrees to fully cooperate with Employer in maintaining the Confidential Information to the extent permitted by law. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, alter either Employer’s rights or Executive’s obligations under any state or federal statutory or common law regarding trade secrets and unfair trade practices. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive shall not be restricted from disclosing information that is required to be disclosed by law, court order, or other valid and appropriate legal process; provided, however, that in the event such disclosure is required by law, Executive shall provide Employer with prompt notice of such requirement so that Employer may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure by Executive. Executive understands and acknowledges that nothing in this section limits Executive’s ability to report possible violations of federal, state, or local law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity; to communicate with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agencies in connection with any charge or complaint, whether filed by Executive, on Executive’s behalf, or by any other individual; or to make other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal, state, or local law or regulation, and Executive shall not need the prior authorization of Employer to make any such reports or disclosures and shall not be required to notify Employer that Executive has made such reports or disclosures. In addition, and anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive is hereby given notice that Executive shall not be criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a trade secret (as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1839) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, in either event solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or disclosing a trade secret (as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1839) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
Limitation on Use of Information The Fund agrees neither to use the information received from the Intermediary for any purpose other than to comply with SEC Rule 22c-2 and other applicable laws, rules and regulations, nor to share the information with anyone other than its employees who legitimately need access to it. Neither the Fund nor any of its affiliates or subsidiaries may use any information provided pursuant to this Agreement for marketing or solicitation purposes. The Fund will take such steps as are reasonably necessary to ensure compliance with this obligation. The Fund shall indemnify and hold the Intermediaries, individually and collectively, (and any of their respective directors, officers, employees, or agents) harmless from any damages, loss, cost, or liability (including reasonable legal fees and the cost of enforcing this indemnity) arising out of or resulting from any unauthorized use of or disclosure by the Fund of the information received from the Intermediaries pursuant to this Agreement. In addition, because an award of money damages (whether pursuant to the foregoing sentence or otherwise) may be inadequate for any breach of this provision and any such breach may cause the Intermediaries irreparable harm, the Fund also agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this provision, the Intermediaries will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this provision but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity to the Intermediaries. In the event that the Fund is required by legal process, law, or regulation to disclose any information received from the Intermediaries pursuant to this Agreement, the Fund shall provide Intermediaries with prompt written notice of such requirement as far in advance of the proposed disclosure as possible so that the Intermediaries (at their expense) may either seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy which is necessary to protect their interests or waive compliance with this provision to the extent necessary.
Non-Disclosure of Trade Secrets During Executive’s Company Employment, Executive shall preserve and protect Trade Secrets of the Company from unauthorized use or disclosure; and after termination of such employment, Executive shall not use or disclose any Trade Secret of the Company for so long as that Trade Secret remains a Trade Secret.
Use of Trademarks Distributor shall not be permitted to print, post or otherwise use letterhead, calling cards, literature, signage or other representations in the name of Supplier (or any of its affiliates) or to represent itself as Supplier (or any of its affiliates) or make commitments on behalf of Supplier (or any of its affiliates) without the express, written permission of Supplier. Distributor expressly agrees that no license to use Supplier (or any of its affiliates’ trademarks, trade names, service marks or logos (collectively, the “Supplier Trademarks”) is granted by this Agreement. Distributor may, however, indicate in its advertising and marketing materials that it is a distributor for Supplier Products and may as necessary, incidentally use the Supplier Trademarks in its sales/marketing efforts. Upon request by Supplier, Distributor will place proper trademark, copyright and patent notices in its advertisements, promotional brochures and other marketing materials for Supplier Products. Supplier reserves the right to review Distributor’s marketing and sales materials prior to their publication or use. No rights shall inure to Distributor as a result of any such use or reference, and all such rights, including goodwill shall inure to the benefit of and be vested in Supplier. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, Distributor will immediately cease using the Supplier Trademarks as allowed in this Section and shall immediately take all appropriate and necessary steps to (a) remove and cancel any listings in public records, telephone books, other directories, remove any visual displays or literature at Distributor’s location, the Internet and elsewhere that would indicate or would lead the public to believe that Distributor is the representative of Supplier (or any of its affiliates) or Supplier’s (or any of its affiliates’) products or services; and (b) cancel, abandon or transfer (as requested by Supplier) any product licenses, trade name filings, trademark applications or registrations or other filings with the governments of the Territory (whether or not such filings were authorized by Supplier) that may incorporate the Supplier Trademarks or any marks or names confusingly similar to the Supplier Trademarks. Upon Distributor’s failure to comply with this paragraph, Supplier may make application for such removals, cancellations, abandonments or transfers in Distributor’s name. Distributor shall render assistance to and reimburse Supplier for expenses incurred in enforcing this paragraph.
