Separate Obligations These obligations are independent of Borrower’s obligations and separate actions may be brought against Guarantor (whether action is brought against Borrower or whether Borrower is joined in the action).
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).
Confidentiality Obligation Information that comes into the possession of the parties in connection with the Agreement and the implementation of the Agreement shall be kept confidential, and shall not be disclosed to any third party without the consent of the other party. If the Customer is a public body, the scope of the confidentiality obligation under this provision shall not go beyond that laid down by the Act of 10 February 1967 relating to Procedure in Cases concerning the Public Administration (Public Administration Act) or corresponding sector-specific regulations. The confidentiality obligation pursuant to this provision shall not prevent the disclosure of information if such disclosure is demanded pursuant to laws or regulations, including any disclosure or right of access pursuant to the Act of 19 May 2006 relating to the Right of Access to Documents in the Public Administration (Freedom of Information Act). The other party shall, if possible, be notified prior to the disclosure of such information. The confidentiality obligation shall not prevent the information from being used when there is no legitimate interest in keeping it confidential, for example when it is in the public domain or is accessible to the public elsewhere. The parties shall take all necessary precautions to prevent unauthorised persons from gaining access to, or knowledge of, confidential information. The confidentiality obligation shall apply to the parties’ employees, subcontractors and other third parties who act on behalf of the parties in connection with the implementation of the Agreement. The parties may only transmit confidential information to such subcontractors and third parties to the extent necessary for the implementation of the Agreement, and provided that they are subjected to a confidentiality obligation corresponding to that stipulated in this clause 2.5. The confidentiality obligation shall not prevent the parties from utilising experience and expertise developed in connection with the implementation of the Agreement. The confidentiality obligation shall continue to apply after the expiry of the Agreement. Employees or others who resign from their positions with one of the parties shall be subjected to a confidentiality obligation following their resignation as well, as far as factors mentioned above are concerned. The confidentiality obligation shall lapse five (5) years after the delivery date, unless otherwise stipulated by law or regulation.
Survival of Confidentiality Obligations The Parties’ rights and obligations under this Section 10 shall survive and continue in effect until two (2) years after the expiration or termination date of this Agreement with regard to all Information exchanged during the term of this Agreement. Thereafter, the Parties’ rights and obligations hereunder survive and continue in effect with respect to any Information that is a trade secret under applicable law.
Severance Obligations (i) Ashland and Buyer intend that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement shall not result in a severance of employment of any Employee prior to or upon the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby and that the Employees will have continuous and uninterrupted employment immediately before and immediately after the Closing Date, and Ashland and Buyer shall comply with any requirements under applicable Law to ensure the same. Subject to Section 7.5(b)(iv), Buyer shall bear any costs related to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Ashland and the Asset Selling Corporations from and against, any claims made by any Employee for any statutory, contractual or common law severance or separation benefits and other legally mandated payment obligations (including the employer portion of any employment taxes, together with any compensation payable during any mandatory termination notice period related thereto, collectively, “Separation Benefits”), in each case, arising out of or in connection with the failure of Buyer or the Buyer Corporations to make offers of employment or continue the employment of any Employee, in each case in accordance with this Agreement and as required by applicable Law, and Ashland and the Asset Selling Corporations shall bear any costs related to, and shall indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and the Buyer Corporations from and against, any claims made by any Employee for any Separation Benefits that arise out of the refusal of such Employee to accept an offer of employment made in accordance with this Agreement and applicable Law by, or an objection by such Employee to an automatic transfer of employment to, Buyer or a Buyer Corporation or for the liabilities associated with the agreements listed in Schedule 7.5.
(ii) Subject to Section 7.5(b)(iv), Buyer shall, or shall cause the Buyer Corporations to, provide each Transferred Employee whose employment is terminated within eighteen (18) months following the Closing Date with severance and other separation benefits substantially comparable to the severance and other separation benefits provided to such Transferred Employee by Ashland or the applicable Asset Selling Corporation as in effect as of the date of this Agreement.
