(a) |
Prior to closing of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement, Futura, Young, the Trust and the Purchasers may have access to material non-public information owned by the other (“Confidential Information”).

Each of Futura, Young, the Trust and the Purchasers further agree not to use any Confidential Information of any other party for any purpose other than the pursuit of the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or in the Futura Financing. Any Confidential Information provided by a party to this agreement to another party to this Agreement, and any derivatives thereof, whether created by the disclosing party or the recipient party, shall remain the property of the disclosing party. If the transactions contemplated in this Agreement or the Futura Financing do not proceed or close for any reason whatsoever, then, upon receipt of a written request by the disclosing party of Confidential Information, the receiving party of such Confidential Information shall immediately return such Confidential Information to the disclosing party or, at the written request of the disclosing party, destroy or cause to be destroyed, the Confidential Information provided by the disclosing party. If the receiving party of Confidential Information is required by law, including, without limitation, by subpoena or civil discovery request, to disclose any Confidential Information, such receiving party shall immediately notify the disclosing party of Confidential Information in writing of the particulars of such requested disclosure and shall reasonably cooperate with such disclosing party in seeking a protective order prohibiting or limiting such disclosure to the extent permitted by law. In any event, the receiving party of Confidential Information shall limit its disclosure of such Confidential Information to that portion of such Confidential Information that it is legally required to disclose. |
(b) |
As used in this Agreement, Confidential Information includes, without limitation, all information of a technical or commercial nature (including, but not limited to, business plans, research and development, patents, trademarks and copyrights and applications thereto, formulas, codes, computer programs, software, methodologies, processes, innovations, software tools, know-how, knowledge, designs, drawings specifications, concepts, data, reports, techniques, documentation, pricing, marketing plans, customer and prospect lists, trade secrets, financial information, salaries, business affairs, suppliers, profits, markets, sales strategies, forecasts, personnel information, partners or business associates), whether written or oral. The term "Confidential Information" shall not include information that (i) has been made available to the public generally through no fault of or no breach of any duty or obligation owed by the receiving party of Confidential Information; (ii) that the disclosing party of the Confidential Information regularly gives to third parties without restriction on use or disclosure; (iii) that is shown by documentary evidence to have been independently developed by the receiving party of Confidential Information without access to or utilizing any relevant Confidential Information; or (iv) that has been received lawfully and in good faith from a third party who did not derive it from the Company. For greater clarity, all information relating to IMK Group Co., Ltd., a Korean corporation (“IMK”), provided to Futura, Young or the Trust shall be deemed to be Confidential Information belonging to the Purchasers and IMK (collectively, the “IMK Information”) and IMK shall be deemed to be an intended third party beneficiary of the provisions of this Section 6.7 with respect to such IMK Information and IMK shall be entitled to enforce the provisions of this Section 6.7 with respect to such IMK Information as if it were a party to this Agreement. |
(c) |
The parties to this Agreement acknowledge and agree that in the event of a breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6.7, the disclosing party of Confidential Information may suffer irreparable harm and money damages alone would not afford such party an adequate remedy and, therefore, the disclosing party of Confidential Information shall be entitled to obtain immediate injunctive relief, including, without limitation, a temporary restraining order and a preliminary and permanent injunction, in any court of competent jurisdiction (without being obligated to post a bond or other collateral) restraining any other party to this Agreement from such breach or threatened breach of the provisions of this Section 6.7. Nothing in this Section 6.7 shall be construed as prohibiting the disclosing party of Confidential Information from pursuing any other remedies available to it for such breach or threatened breach, including, without limitation, the recovery of monetary damages from any other party to this Agreement as a result of a breach or threatened breach of this Section 6.7 or any other provision of this Agreement. |
