The Fund shall keep the Information confidential by using the same care and discretion that the Fund uses with respect to its own confidential property and trade secrets, but not less than reasonable care. Upon termination of the Agreement or the Software license granted herein for any reason, the Fund shall return to Custodian any and all copies of the Information which are in its possession or under its control.
Confidential Information “Confidential Information” shall mean (i) Highly Confidential Information (as defined below), (ii) any other technology, software development tools, methodologies, processes, algorithms, test data sets and test data cases and related documentation that CI Plus LLP provides to Licensee hereunder in order to facilitate Licensee’s exercise of its rights and performance of its obligations hereunder, and (iii) any other information of CI Plus LLP and information of Licensee, each of which is clearly marked as “Confidential” or a similar expression when disclosed in written or electronic form, or indicated as “Confidential” when disclosed orally and confirmed in writing within thirty (30) calendar days after such disclosure. “Confidential Information” shall not include information which: (a) was in the possession of, or was known by, the receiving party ("Recipient") prior to its receipt from the disclosing party (“Discloser), without an obligation owed to Discloser, or its licensors, to maintain its confidentiality; (b) is or becomes generally known to the public without violation of this Agreement by the “Recipient”; (c) is obtained by Recipient from a third party, without an obligation owed to such third party to keep such information confidential; or (d) is independently developed by Recipient without use of any Confidential Information of the other party. Recipient agrees that it shall use reasonable care to keep the Confidential Information of the other party strictly confidential and not disclose it to any other person except to its Affiliates and its and their respective employees, contractors, consultants, agents, customers and representatives (other than Members) who have a “need to know” for the purposes of this Agreement and are obligated by Licensee to be bound by the same confidentiality obligation which Recipient is bound by under this Exhibit H, provided however that Recipient may disclose Highly Confidential Information only in accordance with Section 2 of this Exhibit H. Recipient shall be responsible for any breach of such confidentiality obligation by such parties, including former employees, Affiliates, contractors, consultants, agents, customers (other than Members) and representatives. Recipient shall protect the Confidential Information of the other party with the same degree of care as it normally uses in the protection of its own similar confidential and proprietary information, but in no case with any less than reasonable care. Notwithstanding anything in this Exhibit H to the contrary, Confidential Information may be disclosed by Recipient pursuant to the order or requirements of a court or governmental administrative agency or other governmental body of competent jurisdiction, provided that (x) Discloser has been notified of such a disclosure request immediately after Recipient knows such order or requirements in order to afford Discloser reasonable opportunity to obtain a protective order or otherwise prevent or limit the scope of such disclosure to the extent permitted by law and (y) Recipient cooperates in good faith with such efforts by Discloser. The obligations under this Exhibit H shall terminate three years after the date of the last shipment of product using the Licensed Technology by Licensee or any other licensee of the Licensed Technology; provided that Sections 2.0(b), 2.0(c), and 3.0 in this Exhibit H shall cease to apply when the Recipient has returned all tangible embodiments of Licensed Technology in its possession to the Discloser.

The Executive agrees that the Executive will not: (1) use, disclose, or reverse engineer the Trade Secrets or the Confidential Information for any purpose other than the Company’s Business, except as authorized in writing by the Company; (2) during the Executive’s employment with the Company, use, disclose, or reverse engineer (a) any confidential information or trade secrets of any former employer or third party, or (b) any works of authorship developed in whole or in part by the Executive during any former employment or for any other party, unless authorized in writing by the former employer or third party; or (3) upon the Executive’s resignation or termination (a) retain Trade Secrets or Confidential Information, including any copies existing in any form (including electronic form), which are in the Executive’s possession or control, or (b) destroy, delete, or alter the Trade Secrets or Confidential Information without the Company’s written consent. The obligations under this subsection A shall: (I) with regard to the Trade Secrets, remain in effect as long as the information constitutes a trade secret under applicable law, and (II) with regard to the Confidential Information, remain in effect during the Restricted Period. The confidentiality, property, and proprietary rights protections available in this Agreement are in addition to, and not exclusive of, any and all other rights to which the Company is entitled under federal and state law, including, but not limited to, rights provided under copyright laws, trade secret and confidential information laws, and laws concerning fiduciary duties.
Nondisclosure of Proprietary Information (a) Except in connection with the faithful performance of Executive’s duties hereunder or pursuant to Section 6(c) and (e), Executive shall, in perpetuity, maintain in confidence and shall not directly, indirectly or otherwise, use, disseminate, disclose or publish, or use for Executive’s benefit or the benefit of any person, firm, corporation or other entity (other than the Company) any confidential or proprietary information or trade secrets of or relating to the Company (including, without limitation, business plans, business strategies and methods, acquisition targets, intellectual property in the form of patents, trademarks and copyrights and applications therefor, ideas, inventions, works, discoveries, improvements, information, documents, formulae, practices, processes, methods, developments, source code, modifications, technology, techniques, data, programs, other know-how or materials, owned, developed or possessed by the Company, whether in tangible, intangible or electronic form, information with respect to the Company’s operations, processes, products, inventions, business practices, finances, principals, vendors, suppliers, customers, potential customers, marketing methods, costs, prices, contractual relationships, regulatory status, prospects and compensation paid to employees or other terms of employment) (collectively, the “Confidential Information”), or deliver to any person, firm, corporation or other entity any document, record, notebook, computer program or similar repository of or containing any such Confidential Information. The Parties hereby stipulate and agree that, as between them, any item of Confidential Information is important, material and confidential and affects the successful conduct of the businesses of the Company (and any successor or assignee of the Company). Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include any information that has been published in a form generally available to the public or is publicly available or has become public or general industry knowledge prior to the date Executive proposes to disclose or use such information, provided, that such publishing or public availability or knowledge of the Confidential Information shall not have resulted from Executive directly or indirectly breaching Executive’s obligations under this Section 6(a) or any other similar provision by which Executive is bound, or from any third-party breaching a provision similar to that found under this Section 6(a). For the purposes of the previous sentence, Confidential Information will not be deemed to have been published or otherwise disclosed merely because individual portions of the information have been separately published, but only if material features comprising such information have been published or become publicly available.
