(formerly known as “Bayrock Ventures, Inc.”) a Delaware corporation (hereinafter referred to as the “Principal” and together with the Distributor, the “Parties”).
In reliance upon and in consideration of the following undertakings, the parties agree as follows:
1. Subject to the limitations set forth in paragraph 2, all information disclosed to the other party, whether marked confidential or not, shall be deemed to be “Proprietary Information.” In particular, Proprietary Information shall be deemed to include any technology, content, trade secret, information, process, technique, training manual, workbook, algorithm, computer program (source and object code), design, drawing, formula, business plan or test data relating to any research project, work in process, future development, engineering, manufacturing, marketing, servicing, financing, strategic partnership or personnel matter relating to the disclosing party, its present or future products, services, sales, suppliers, clients, customers, employees, investors, business plans, business strategies, cost of operations, and strategic relationships, whether in oral, written, graphic or electronic form. If Proprietary Information is disclosed in oral form, the disclosing party shall thereafter summarize it in writing and transmit it to the other party within thirty (30) days of the oral disclosure.
2. The term “Proprietary Information” shall not be deemed to include information which: (a) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the receiving party, generally known or available; (b) is known by the receiving party at the time of receiving such information as evidenced by its records; (c) is hereafter furnished to the receiving party by a third party, as a matter of right and without restriction on disclosure; (d) is independently developed by the receiving party without any breach of this NDA; or (e) is the subject of a written permission to disclose provided by the disclosing party.
3. Each party shall maintain all Proprietary Information in trust and confidence and, except as expressly set forth herein, shall not disclose to any third party or use any Proprietary Information for any unauthorized purpose. Each party may use such Proprietary Information only to the extent required to accomplish the purposes of this NDA as set forth on Exhibit E.A1 hereto. Proprietary Information shall not be used for any purpose or in any manner that would constitute a violation of any laws or regulations, including without limitation, the export control laws of the United States. No rights or licenses to trademarks, inventions, copyrights or patents are implied or granted under this NDA.
4. Proprietary Information shall not be reproduced in any form except as required to accomplish the intent of this NDA.
20
5. Each party under this NDA shall advise its employees who might have access to Proprietary Information of the confidential nature thereof and agrees that its employees shall be bound by the terms of this NDA. No Proprietary Information shall be disclosed to any employee who does not have a need for such information. The receiving party shall not disclose any Proprietary Information to any third party without the disclosing party's express, written consent.
6. All Proprietary Information (including all copies thereof) shall remain the property of the disclosing party and shall be returned to the disclosing party after the receiving party's need for it has expired, or upon request of the disclosing party, and in any event, upon completion or termination of this NDA.
7. Notwithstanding any other provision of this NDA, disclosure of Proprietary Information shall not be precluded if such disclosure:
(a) is in response to a valid order of a court or other governmental body of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; provided, however, that the responding party shall first have given notice to the other party hereto and shall have made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order requiring that the Proprietary Information so disclosed be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued;
(b) is otherwise required by law; or
(c) is otherwise necessary to establish rights or enforce obligations under this NDA, but only to the extent that any such disclosure is necessary.
8. This NDA shall continue in full force and effect for so long as the parties continue to exchange Proprietary Information. This NDA may be terminated by either party at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other party. The termination of this NDA shall not relieve either party of the obligations imposed by Paragraphs 3, 4, 5, 6 and 11 of this NDA with respect to Proprietary Information disclosed prior to the effective date of such termination and the provisions of those Paragraphs shall survive the termination of this NDA for a period of five (5) years from the date of such termination.
9. Any dispute or claim hereunder between the named Parties, shall be resolved by binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in San Diego, California under the laws of the State of California. This shall be the exclusive remedy between the Parties, and both parties hereby give up any rights to trial by jury, court, appeal, or any other judicial mechanism for resolving disputes.
10. This NDA and Exhibit E.A1 attached hereto and hereby incorporated herein, contain the final, complete and exclusive NDA of the parties relative to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and NDAs relating to its subject matter. This NDA may not be changed, modified, amended or supplemented except by a written instrument signed by both parties.
11. Each party hereby acknowledges and agrees that in the event of any breach of this NDA by the other party, including, without limitation, the actual or threatened disclosure or unauthorized use of a disclosing party's Proprietary Information without the prior express written consent of the disclosing party, the disclosing party will suffer an irreparable injury, such that no remedy at law will afford it adequate protection against, or appropriate compensation for, such injury. Accordingly, each party hereby agrees that the other party shall be entitled to specific performance of the receiving party's obligations under this NDA, as well as such further relief as may be granted through binding arbitration.
21
12. The parties’ rights and obligations under this NDA will bind and inure to the benefit of their respective successors, heirs, executors and administrators and permitted assigns.
13. If any provision of this NDA is found by a proper authority to be unenforceable, that provision shall be severed and the remainder of this NDA will continue in full force and effect.
14. Any notices required or permitted hereunder shall be given to the appropriate party at the address specified below or at such other address as the party shall specify in writing. Such notice shall be deemed given upon the personal delivery, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, three (3) days after the date of mailing.
