Execution Copy
Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain merely because any part of the Confidential Information is embodied in general disclosure or because individual features, components or combinations thereof are now or become known to the public. A disclosure by Recipient of Confidential Information in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise required by law, and to such extent necessary, shall not be considered to be a breach of this Agreement, provided, however, that Recipient shall provide Discloser with prompt prior written notice thereof to enable Discloser to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent or contest such disclosure.

Accordingly, (a) Discloser's Confidential Information may be considered as "inside information" pursuant to Israeli securities laws and regulations; and (ii) Discloser is required to make certain disclosures and publications under applicable laws which may include this Agreement and/or the Parties' engagement.
2. | Restrictions. All Confidential Information delivered, made available or otherwise acquired pursuant to this Agreement (a) shall not be copied, duplicated, distributed, disseminated or made available in any way or form by Recipient (or so allowed, aided or enabled by Recipient); (b) shall be maintained in confidence and in a place and manner that ensures such confidentially (which in any event shall be not less than customary industry standards), and may only be disclosed to those employees, officers and/or directors of Recipient and/or its advisors who have a need to know and who have executed an obligation of confidentiality and restriction of use similar to the terms hereof; and (c) shall not be conveyed, used or exploited by Recipient (including its employees, officers, directors and/or its advisors), directly or indirectly, for any purpose, except for the Purpose. |
3. | Duration. Recipient's obligations hereunder with respect to each item of Confidential Information shall be perpetual, until such time as the Confidential Information shall have become public domain through no fault of Recipient. |
4. | Term. This Agreement shall be effective as of the date stated above until terminated upon thirty (30) days' prior written notice, and provided, however that the provisions of Section 3 above and Sections 5-8 below shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. |
5. | Return of Materials. Promptly following the earlier of (i) termination or expiration of this Agreement; and (ii) within seven (7) days following a written request by the Discloser at any time, Recipient will deliver to Discloser all Confidential Information and all documents or media containing any such Confidential Information and any and all copies or extracts thereof (or shall have such documentation and/or media destroyed and shall so confirm in writing, at Discloser's sole discretion). |
6. | Mutual Disclaimers; No Proprietary Rights. The Parties shall have no obligation to enter into any further agreement with each other. Nothing herein shall be deemed to create any principal/agent, employee-employer, joint venture or other business relationship between the Parties. It is understood and agreed that Confidential Information is provided "AS IS". No warranties, express or implied, of any kind are given by Discloser with respect to Confidential Information provided hereunder. The Parties also understand that all Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of Discloser (or its respective owner(s)), and that no patent, copyright, trademark or other proprietary right or license is granted by this Agreement. Recipient understands that nothing herein requires the disclosure of any Confidential Information, which shall be disclosed, if at all, solely at the option of the Discloser. |
18 |
Execution Copy
7. | Injunctive and Other Relief; No Derogation of Rights. Since a breach by Recipient of any of the promises or agreements contained herein may result in irreparable and continuing damage to Discloser for which there may be no adequate remedy at law, Discloser shall be entitled to injunctive relief and/or a decree for specific performance, and such other relief as may be proper (including monetary damages if appropriate). Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as derogating from any right or remedy that the Discloser may be entitled to under applicable law. |
8. | General. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and assigns. Neither Party may transfer or assign any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except to a successor in interest who is not a competitor of the other Party. This Agreement represents the entire understanding and agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior communications, agreements and understandings relating to the subject matter hereof. In the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. No modification or amendment of this Agreement will be valid unless executed by both Parties. The observance of any term hereof may be waived (either prospectively or retroactively and either generally or in a particular instance) only with the written consent of the Party against such waiver is sought and to such extent set forth therein; no failure or delay in enforcing any right will be deemed a waiver. The laws of the State of Israel shall govern this Agreement, and the competent courts of the Tel Aviv-Jaffa district shall have exclusive jurisdiction in any matter arising out of or relating to this Agreement. |
