Recipient shall not reproduce any Proprietary Information nor disclose any Proprietary Information to any other person, firm or corporation, nor use or disclose the same except for the Purpose stated hereinabove, and shall exercise at least the same degree of care to guard against disclosure or unauthorized reproduction or use of such Information, as Recipient employs with respect to its own Proprietary Information, but in no event less than reasonable care.
4. In the event Discloser discloses its Proprietary Information to Recipient otherwise than as fixed in a tangible medium of expression, Discloser shall inform Recipient prior to the disclosure that such Proprietary Information is deemed confidential and/or proprietary, and shall provide Recipient with a brief written description of such Proprietary Information, either prior to or within thirty (30) days of such disclosure. Recipient shall, upon being notified that such information is Proprietary Information, have the same obligations with respect to such Proprietary Information as described in Section 3. “Tangible medium of expression” as used herein shall be deemed to include, by way of example, memoranda, written descriptions, drawings, photographs, models, prototypes, tapes, disks and circuitry.
5. Recipient agrees to promptly notify Discloser of any inadvertent unauthorized use, reproduction or disclosure of any Proprietary Information it has received from Discloser and to take prompt and effective steps to reclaim the same and to prevent recurrence of such use, reproduction or disclosure.
6. Recipient shall have no obligation hereunder with respect to any information which:
(a) is already properly known to Recipient other than as a result of a prior confidential disclosure by Discloser;
(b) is or becomes publicly known otherwise than by Recipient’s (or someone receiving the information from Recipient) fault or breach of this Agreement;
(c) is rightfully received by Recipient without restriction from a third party who is not under an obligation of confidentiality, directly or indirectly, to Discloser;
(d) is independently developed by Recipient without benefit of the Proprietary Information received hereunder;
(e) is approved for release in writing by Discloser; or
(f) is required to be disclosed by Recipient pursuant to law or judicial or regulatory action, provided that Discloser is promptly notified at the time such action is initiated and Recipient fully cooperates with Discloser in seeking continued confidential treatment of such information to the extent possible.
7. All tangible media of expression wherein Discloser’s Proprietary Information is fixed, and which have been delivered by Discloser to Recipient pursuant to this Agreement, shall be and remain the property of Discloser. All such tangible media of expression, and any copies thereof, shall be promptly returned to Discloser upon written request, or destroyed at Discloser’s option, and in the event of such requested destruction, Recipient shall provide written certification of compliance within thirty (30) days of such written request.
8. Nothing herein shall be construed as a warranty of the accuracy, worth or fitness of the Information furnished pursuant to this Agreement, nor as a grant of any rights to any invention, work, discovery or improvement so furnished, nor as a commitment to enter into any future agreement for any continuing relationship whether for the purchase or supply of products or services, or otherwise.
9. Recipient agrees that it will not indirectly (i) export or re-export any of Discloser’s Proprietary Information, or any products using such Proprietary Information, or (ii) use any such Proprietary Information to engage in or facilitate the trading of any securities, in either case, in violation of any prevailing laws and regulations in any applicable jurisdiction.
10. This Agreement shall have a term of three years beginning with the effective date set forth above, provided however, that either party may terminate this Agreement upon at least thirty days prior written notice. The expiration or termination of this Agreement shall, however, have no affect upon the obligations imposed by this Agreement with respect to Proprietary Information disclosed prior to such termination or expiration, which obligations shall end four years from the date of such disclosure hereunder.
11. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings in connection herewith. No modification or alternation shall be binding unless executed in writing by the parties. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed or construed a waiver of any other provisions hereof (whether or not similar) nor shall a waiver be construed a continuing waiver unless expressly so stated.
12. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Jurisdiction and venue for any suit or proceeding brought with regard to this Agreement shall be either in the Court of Common Pleas of Bucks County, Pennsylvania or the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Pennsylvania. Each party understands and acknowledges that violation of its covenants and agreements herein contained may cause the other party irreparable harm and damage which may not be recoverable at law. Each party hereby agrees that the other party’s remedies for a breach hereof may be in equity by way of injunctive relief, as well as for damages and any other relief available, whether in law or in equity.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have duly executed this Agreement on the date first written above.
