Confidential
Information.
“Confidential Information” shall mean all information, know-how, trade
secrets or other material disclosed by one Party to the other pursuant
to
this Agreement which is marked “Confidential,” “Proprietary” or in some
similar manner, including pricing information and the terms and
conditions
of this Agreement. Each Party shall treat as confidential all Confidential
Information of the other Party, shall not use such Confidential
Information except in connection with implementing this Agreement
and
shall not disclose such Confidential Information to any third party
who
has not executed an agreement to maintain the confidentiality of
the
Confidential Information with restrictions at least as restrictive
as
those set forth herein. All technical, business, sales, distribution
channel, financial, marketing, pricing, planning and competitor
information and the customer lists of Customers who have purchased
Products from IKON are considered Confidential Information. Both
Parties
will ensure their compliance with all state or federal privacy
acts to the
extent required to allow the other to use such information for
its
continuing business operations, development and marketing purposes.
Confidential Information does not include information that is (i)
generally known and available in the public domain through no fault
of the
receiver; (ii) was known by the receiver prior to the date of disclosure;
(iii) was received from a third party without any obligation of
confidentiality; or (iv) was independently developed without reliance
on
Confidential Information. Given the nature of the Confidential
Information
and the likely consequences for each Party’s business where unauthorized
use or disclosure of the Confidential Information occurs, monetary
damages
would not be an adequate remedy and each Party reserves the right
to seek
and obtain injunctive relief, in addition to any other remedy that
may be
available, in any proper forum.

shall be established and funded monthly by Company and the sums to be deposited

of [*] percent ([*]%) of
the aggregate monthly purchases, sales or other such distributions of Company’s

sums to IKON, Company shall advance such MDF sums accrued and then available
to
IKON within thirty (30) days of the Company’s receipt of the request for MDF

available in the MDF, only those sums then accrued and available in the MDF
will
be distributed to IKON. Any cost of an approved Funding Activity, or any
portion
thereof, that cannot be immediately covered by the available MDF sums shall
thereafter be paid to IKON as such sums accrue and become available in the
MDF.
