THIS MUTUAL NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT is made and entered into as of December 12, 0000 xxxxxxx Xxx Xxxxx Micro-Energy (XXXX) at 000 Xxxxxx Xxxx, Xxx Xxxxx, XX, 00000, and Planar Energy Devices, Inc. at 000 X Xxxxxxxx Xx, Xxxxxxx, XX 00000. Purpose. The parties wish to explore a business opportunity of mutual interest and in connection with this opportunity, each party may disclose to the other certain confidential technical and business information which the disclosing party desires the receiving party to treat as confidential.
1. “Confidential Information” means any information disclosed by either party to the other party, either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible objects (including without limitation documents, prototypes, samples, plant and equipment), which is designated as “Confidential,” “Proprietary” or some similar designation and is the subject of efforts to keep it secret or confidential. Information communicated orally shall be considered Confidential Information if such information is confirmed in writing as being Confidential Information within a reasonable time after the initial disclosure. Confidential Information may also include information disclosed to a disclosing party by third parties if such third parties are under an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include any information which (i) was publicly known and made generally available in the public domain prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing party; (ii) becomes publicly known and made generally available after disclosure by the disclosing party to the receiving party, provided that same occurred through no action or, in the case of an action required by this Agreement, the inaction of the receiving party or through a party under an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party; (iii) is already in the possession of the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party as shown by the receiving party's files and records in existence prior to the time of disclosure; (iv) is obtained by the receiving party without an obligation of confidentiality from a third party and without a breach of such third party's obligations of confidentiality; or (v) is independently developed by the receiving party without use of or reference to the disclosing party's Confidential Information, as shown by documents and other competent evidence in the receiving party's possession.
Page 21
2. Non-use and Non-disclosure. Each party agrees not to use any Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose except to evaluate and engage in discussions concerning a potential business relationship between the parties. Each party agrees not to disclose any Confidential Information of the other party to third parties or to such party's employees, except to those employees of the receiving party who are required to have the information in order to evaluate or engage in discussions concerning the contemplated business relationship and who are bound to the receiving party to keep such information secret and confidential. Without limiting the foregoing, neither party shall reverse engineer, disassemble or decompile any prototypes, software or other tangible objects which embody the other party's Confidential Information and which are provided to the party hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving party may disclose only that portion of Confidential Information that the receiving party is required to disclose pursuant to lawful subpoena or other applicable legal process if, and only if, the receiving party gives the disclosing party immediate written notice of such requirement prior to such disclosure and reasonable assistance, at the expense of the disclosing party, to seek an order protecting the information from public disclosure.
3. Maintenance of Confidentiality. Each party agrees that it shall take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of the other party. Without limiting the foregoing, each party shall take at least those measures that it takes to protect its own most highly confidential information and shall ensure that its employees who have access to Confidential Information of the other party have signed a non-use and non-disclosure agreement in content similar to the provisions hereof, prior to any disclosure of Confidential Information to such employees.
