Post-Employment Obligations In consideration of the covenants of the Company herein, the Executive agrees as follows:
Confidentiality Obligation The parties covenant and agree they will not at any time during or after the ten-nination of this Agreement, reveal, divulge or make known to any person (other than their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, professional advisors or affiliates who need to know such information for the performance of obligations hereunder), or use for their own account or purposes or for any other account or purpose other than the performance of obligations under this Agreement, any confidential or proprietary information. The parties further covenant and agree that they shall retain all such knowledge and information that they acquire or develop respecting such confidential information in trust for the sole benefit of the parties, and their respective successors and assigns.
Proprietary Information Obligations You acknowledge your continuing obligations under your Proprietary Information and Inventions Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
No Post-Employment Obligations No Company Employee Plan provides, or reflects or represents any liability to provide, retiree life insurance, retiree health or other retiree employee welfare benefits to any person for any reason, except as may be required by COBRA or other applicable statute, and the Company has never represented, promised or contracted (whether in oral or written form) to any Employee (either individually or to Employees as a group) or any other person that such Employee(s) or other person would be provided with retiree life insurance, retiree health or other retiree employee welfare benefit, except to the extent required by statute.
Obligations of Executive (a) For two years following a Termination Event, Executive agrees not to personally solicit any of the employees either of the Company or of any entity in which the Company directly or indirectly possesses the ability to determine the voting of 50% or more of the voting securities of such entity (including two-party joint ventures in which each party possesses 50% of the total voting power of the entity) to become employed elsewhere or provide the names of such employees to any other company that Executive has reason to believe will solicit such employees.
Exclusive Employment During employment with the Company, Executive will not do anything to compete with the Company’s present or contemplated business, nor will he plan or organize any competitive business activity. Executive will not enter into any agreement which conflicts with his duties or obligations to the Company. Executive will not during his employment or within one (1) year after it ends, without the Company’s express written consent, directly or indirectly, solicit or encourage any employee, agent, independent contractor, supplier, customer, consultant or any other person or company to terminate or alter a relationship with the Company.
Confidentiality Obligations During the Term and at all times thereafter, neither party shall disclose Confidential Information of the other party or use such Confidential Information for any purpose without the prior written consent of such other party. Without limiting the preceding sentence, each party shall use at least the same degree of care in safeguarding the other party’s Confidential Information as it uses to safeguard its own Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may disclose Confidential Information (i) if required to do by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that such party shall notify the other party in writing promptly upon receipt of knowledge of such order so that such other party may attempt to prevent such disclosure or seek a protective order; or (ii) to any applicable governmental authority as required by applicable law. Nothing contained herein shall be construed to prohibit the SEC, FINRA, or other government official or entities from obtaining, reviewing, and auditing any information, records, or data. Issuer acknowledges that regulatory record-keeping requirements, as well as securities industry best practices, require Provider to maintain copies of practically all data, including communications and materials, regardless of any termination of this Agreement.
Obligations After Closing For a period of two years following the Closing, Purchaser, on the one hand, and Seller, on the other hand, shall not, directly or indirectly, disclose, or permit any of its Entity Representatives to disclose, to any third party the terms and conditions of this Agreement or the Contemplated Transactions (including all or any portion of the Purchase Price) (collectively, “Confidential Information”) without the written consent of the other Parties. Further, from and after the Closing, Seller shall not use or disclose to any third party, and shall cause each of its Affiliates not to use or disclose to any third party, any Purchaser Confidential Information (including geological or geophysical data or any other Purchaser Confidential Information concerning or included in the Acquired Assets), and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to enforce, and cause any of its existing or future Affiliates to enforce, any agreements with their respective employees, independent contractors, consultants, representatives and agents relating to such Purchaser Confidential Information. This Section 10.12(b) shall not prevent disclosure by a Party: (i) pursuant to Section 10.12(c) or Section 10.13; (ii) of information that, at the time of disclosure, is generally available to the public (other than as a result of a breach of this Agreement (including Section 10.13) or any other confidentiality agreement to which such Party is a party or of which it has Knowledge), as evidenced by generally available documents or publications; (iii) to the extent disclosure is necessary or advisable, to its Affiliates or to such Party’s or any such Affiliate’s Entity Representatives for the purpose of performing their respective obligations under this Agreement; (iv) to banks or other financial institutions or agencies or any independent accountants or legal counsel or investment advisors employed by such Party or its Affiliates, to the extent disclosure is necessary or advisable to obtain financing; (v) by Purchaser to one or more potential purchasers of any of the Acquired Assets; (vi) to Governmental Authorities to the extent necessary to comply with its obligations under this Agreement and Law with respect to the HSR Act; (vii) as required by applicable securities or other Laws or the applicable rules of any stock exchange having jurisdiction over the disclosing Party or its Affiliates; (viii) to third Persons holding preferential rights to purchase or rights of consent or rights to receive notice that may be applicable to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, as reasonably necessary to obtain waivers of such right or such consents or to provide such notice; or (ix) to the extent necessary to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any of the Transaction Documents or to enforce this Agreement; provided, however, that in each case of disclosure under clauses (iii), (iv), or (v), the Persons to whom disclosure is made are provided with a copy of this confidentiality provision, and the Party making such disclosure shall be liable and responsible for any breach by such Person of this confidentiality obligation.
Severance Obligations In the event an offer of employment is extended by the Buyers to and accepted by an employee of the Seller pursuant to Section 4(c) and such subsequent employment by the Buyers is terminated within sixty (60) days from the Closing Date, the Seller shall be exclusively responsible for, and shall pay to such accepting employee, all severance benefits that may be due and owing such employee by reason of his or her employment with either the Seller or the Buyers based on Seller's severance policies as in effect on the Closing Date.
Non-Competition Obligations (a) Executive acknowledges and agrees that as an employee and representative of the Company, Executive will be responsible for building and maintaining business relationships and goodwill with current and future operating partners, investors, partners and prospects on a personal level. Executive acknowledges and agrees that this responsibility creates a special relationship of trust and confidence between the Company, Executive and these persons or entities. Executive also acknowledges that this creates a high risk and opportunity for Executive to misappropriate these relationships and the goodwill existing between the Company and such persons. Executive acknowledges and agrees that it is fair and reasonable for the Company to take steps to protect itself from the risk of such misappropriation.
