(b) California Civil Code Section 1542 Notice and Waiver. Each Releasor understands that it may later discover Claims or facts that may be different from, or in addition to, those that it or any other Releasor now knows or believes to exist regarding the subject matter of the release contained in this Section 5, and which, if known at the time of signing this Agreement, may have materially affected this Agreement and such Party’s decision to enter into it and grant the release contained in this Section 5. Nevertheless, the Releasors intend to fully, finally, and forever settle and release all Claims that now exist, may exist, or previously existed, as set out in the release contained in this Section 5, whether known or unknown, foreseen or unforeseen, or suspected or unsuspected, and the release given herein is and will remain in effect as a complete release, notwithstanding the discovery or existence of such additional or different facts. The Releasors hereby waive any right or Claim that might arise as a result of such different or additional Claims or facts. The Releasors have been made aware of, and understand, the provisions of California Civil Code Section 1542 (“Section 1542”), which provides: “A GENERAL RELEASE DOES NOT EXTEND TO CLAIMS THAT THE CREDITOR OR RELEASING PARTY DOES NOT KNOW OR SUSPECT TO EXIST IN HIS OR HER FAVOR AT THE TIME OF EXECUTING THE RELEASE AND THAT, IF KNOWN BY HIM OR HER, WOULD HAVE MATERIALLY AFFECTED HIS OR HER SETTLEMENT WITH THE DEBTOR OR RELEASED PARTY.” The Releasors expressly, knowingly, and intentionally waive any and all rights, benefits, and protections of Section 1542 and of any other state or federal statute or common law principle limiting the scope of a general release.
6. TRANSITION OF RELEVANT SUPPLIER EMPLOYEES. Supplier will use commercially reasonable efforts to identify its personnel who currently support SyntraNet for Customer. Customer may make offers of employment to these identified personnel on terms as Customer determines in its sole discretion, but Supplier makes
no commitment to Customer that any personnel will accept any offers of employment. Customer has no remedy against Supplier if any such employee does not accept any offers of employment made by Customer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent permitted by applicable law and any obligations of confidentiality that Supplier owes to any such personnel, Supplier may provide Customer with reasonably requested information regarding salary and benefits for any such identified personnel. For avoidance of doubt, Supplier has no liability for any actions or inactions taken by any personnel, whether or not Customer elects to hire them. Customer’s hiring of any personnel is at Customer’s own risk and Supplier makes no representations or warranties about the qualifications, experience or suitability of any personnel.

The Receiving Party shall, at all times, both during the term of this Agreement and thereafter, keep in confidence and trust all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information received by it. The Receiving Party shall not use the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party other than as necessary to fulfill the Receiving Party’s obligations or to exercise the Receiving Party’s rights under this Agreement. Each Party agrees to secure and protect the other Party’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care and in a manner consistent with the maintenance of such Party’s own Confidential Information (but in no event less than reasonable care), and to take appropriate action by instruction or agreement with its employees, Affiliates or other agents who are permitted access to the other Party’s Confidential Information to satisfy its obligations under this Section.

Customer shall treat the Source Code with at least the same degree of care and confidentiality as Customer treats its own trade secrets but in any event no less than the requirements of this Section 8, as well as industry standard reasonable care for similar trade secrets. Customer agrees that it is fully responsible for the actions of each of its employees and agents with respect to the Source Code, whether or not such individual is or was acting within the scope of his or her employment. Customer’s breach of this Section 8.3 shall constitute a material breach.
8.4 Exceptions to Confidential Information.

or otherwise ceases to be secret or confidential, except as a result of a breach of this Agreement or any obligation of confidentiality by the Receiving Party. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information to the extent the Receiving Party determines it is legally compelled to do so; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party in writing of an order or request to disclose. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, the Parties understand that this Agreement will be filed as a public document with the Bankruptcy Court.
8.5 Injunctive Relief. The Parties agree that any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information or the Source Code may cause immediate and irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party and that, in the event of such breach, the Receiving Party will be entitled, in addition to any other available remedies, to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual monetary damages.

Supplier shall supply a list of these other necessary third-party vendors to Customer, but Supplier shall not be liable for Customer’s inability to use SyntraNet if such inability is due to Customer’s failure to obtain the necessary services from these third-party vendors, despite Supplier’s provision of the aforementioned list.
