For purposes hereof, the term “Confidential Information” shall include non-public information about the disclosing Party’s business or activities that is proprietary and confidential, including, without limitation, all business, financial, technical and other information of a party marked or designated as “confidential” (or some similar designation) or that, by its nature or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure, should reasonably be regarded as confidential. Each Party hereby agrees to (i) use the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party solely for the purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement; (ii) hold the other Party’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, and; (iii) not disclose such Confidential Information, or any part thereof, to any third party, except those of its officers, employees or professional advisors with a strict “need to know” in order for the receiving Party to perform its obligations hereunder; provided that such officers, employees or professional advisors shall, prior to any disclosure, have agreed by signed writing or otherwise be bound to confidentiality obligations no less strict than those described herein.
  2. Exclusions. Confidential Information shall not include (i) any information already rightfully in the public domain at the time of its disclosure, or subsequently released into the public domain by the disclosing Party; (ii) any information already rightfully in the possession of the receiving Party at the time of its disclosure by the disclosing Party without an obligation to maintain its confidentiality; (iii) any information that is independently developed by the receiving Party without use of or reference to any Confidential Information of the disclosing Party, in either case such fact being proven through documentary evidence; (iv) information obtained by the receiving Party from a third party not in breach of any confidentiality obligations to the disclosing Party; or (v) information required to be disclosed by law, a court order or competent government authority, provided that in such case the receiving Party shall promptly inform the disclosing Party of such requirement of disclosure prior to the disclosure such that the disclosing Party has an opportunity to object to the production or disclosure through seeking a protective order.
  3. Each Party (as the receiving Party) acknowledges that the disclosing Party considers its Confidential Information to contain trade secrets of the disclosing Party and that any unauthorized use or disclosure of such information would cause the disclosing Party irreparable harm for which its remedies at law would be inadequate. Accordingly, each Party (as receiving Party) acknowledges and agrees that the disclosing Party will be entitled, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity, to seek the issuance of injunctive relief, without bond, enjoining any breach or threatened breach of the receiving Party’s obligations hereunder with respect to the Confidential Information of the disclosing Party, in addition to such further injunctive relief as any court of competent jurisdiction may deem just and proper.
