(a) From and after the Closing, Seller shall, and shall cause its affiliates (including the Parent Companies) to, hold, and shall use its best efforts to cause its or their respective representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning the Purchased Assets, except to the extent that Seller can show that such information is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Seller, any of its affiliates or their respective representatives; or (ii) is lawfully acquired by Seller, any of its affiliates or their respective representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Seller or any of its affiliates or their respective representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law, Seller shall promptly notify Buyer in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Seller is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Seller shall use best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

(b) From and after the Closing, Buyer shall, and shall cause its affiliates to, hold, and shall use its best efforts to cause its or their respective representatives to hold, in confidence any and all information, whether written or oral, concerning Seller or the Parent Companies, except to the extent that Buyer can show that such information (i) is generally available to and known by the public through no fault of Buyer, any of its affiliates or their respective representatives; or (ii) is lawfully acquired by Buyer, any of its affiliates or their respective representatives from and after the Closing from sources which are not prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation. If Buyer or any of its affiliates or their respective representatives are compelled to disclose any information by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law, Buyer shall promptly notify Seller in writing and shall disclose only that portion of such information which Buyer is advised by its counsel in writing is legally required to be disclosed, provided that Buyer shall use best efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information.

Section 5.06 Non-competition; Non-solicitation.

(a) Other than expressly approved in writing, for a period of two (2) years commencing on the Closing Date (the “Restricted Period”), Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its affiliates (including the Parent Companies) to, directly or indirectly, (i) engage in or assist others in engaging in the compounding of recycled plastic; (ii) have an interest in any entity that engages directly or indirectly in the compounding of recycled plastic in any capacity, including as a partner, shareholder, member, employee, principal, agent, trustee or consultant; or (iii) cause, induce or encourage any material actual or prospective client, customer, supplier or licensor of the Business (including any existing or former client or customer of Seller and any person or entity that becomes a client or customer of the Business after the Closing), or any other person or entity who has a material business relationship with the Business, to terminate or modify any such actual or prospective relationship. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller may own, directly or indirectly, solely as an investment, securities of any entity traded on any national securities exchange if Seller is not a controlling entity of, or a member of a group which controls, such person or entity and does not, directly or indirectly, own 5% or more of any class of securities of such entity.

(b) During the Restricted Period, Seller shall not, and shall not permit any of its affiliates (including the Parent Companies) to, directly or indirectly, hire or solicit any person who is offered employment by Buyer or is or was employed in the Business during the Restricted Period, or encourage any such employee to leave such employment or hire any such employee who has left such employment, except pursuant to a general solicitation which is not directed specifically to any such employees; provided, that nothing in this Section 5.06(b) shall prevent Seller or any of its affiliates from hiring (i) any employee whose employment has been terminated by Buyer or (ii) after 180 days from the date of termination of employment, any employee whose employment has been terminated by the employee.

(c) Seller acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of this Section 5.06 would give rise to irreparable harm to Buyer, for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy, and hereby agrees that in the event of a breach or a threatened breach by Seller of any such obligations, Buyer shall, in addition to any and all other rights and remedies that may be available to it in respect of such breach, be entitled to equitable relief, including a temporary restraining order, an injunction, specific performance and any other relief that may be available from a court of competent jurisdiction (without any requirement to post bond).

(d) Seller acknowledges that the restrictions contained in this Section 5.06 are reasonable and necessary to protect the legitimate interests of Buyer and constitute a material inducement to Buyer to enter into this Agreement and consummate the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. In the event that any covenant contained in this Section 5.06 should ever be adjudicated to exceed the time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable law in any jurisdiction, then any court is expressly empowered to reform such covenant, and such covenant shall be deemed reformed, in such jurisdiction to the maximum time, geographic, product or service or other limitations permitted by applicable law. The covenants contained in this Section 5.06 and each provision hereof are severable and distinct covenants and provisions. The invalidity or unenforceability of any such covenant or provision as written shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the remaining covenants or provisions hereof, and any such invalidity or unenforceability in any jurisdiction shall not invalidate or render unenforceable such covenant or provision in any other jurisdiction.

Section 5.07 Closing Conditions. Each of the parties hereto agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to satisfy promptly all conditions to the obligations of the parties hereto in order to expedite the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby.

Section 5.08 Taxes and Fees. All sales and transfer taxes, if any, incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be borne by Seller. All recording, filing and other fees (including any penalties or interest) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be borne by Buyer. The parties will assist each other in the filing of all necessary tax returns and other documentation with respect to all such taxes and fees, and, if required by applicable law, will join in the execution of any such tax returns or other documentation. Real estate taxes and installments of assessments as shown on the latest available tax duplicates shall be prorated between Buyer and Seller as of the Closing Date.

Section 5.09 Public Announcements. Unless otherwise required by applicable law, neither party shall make any public announcements regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the prior written consent of the other party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

Section 5.10 Further Assurances. Following the Closing, each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver such additional documents, instruments, conveyances and assurances and take such further actions as may be reasonably required to carry out the provisions hereof and give effect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the documents to be delivered hereunder

Section 5.11 Receivables. From and after the Closing, if Buyer or any of its affiliates receives or collects any funds relating to any receivable that is an Excluded Asset, Buyer or its affiliate shall remit such funds to Seller within five Business Days after its receipt thereof.
