THIS CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENT (this "Agreement") is made and entered into
this ___ day of __________, ____, by and between ____________________, a
__________ corporation ("___") and Voynex, LLC.
("Voynex").
Witnesseth:
WHEREAS, the parties are considering a potential business
transaction (the "Proposed Transaction"); and
WHEREAS, as a condition to
each party furnishing the other party with information in connection with its
evaluation of the Proposed Transaction, each party is requiring the other party
to treat confidentially any Confidential Information (as defined below) that it
or its directors, officers, employees, agents or advisors (collectively, a
"Disclosing Party") furnishes to the other party or its directors, officers,
employees, agents or advisors (collectively, the "Receiving Party"); and
WHEREAS, each party desires to ensure that the Confidential Information
(as defined below) so disclosed will not be used for any purpose other than an
evaluation of the Proposed Transaction and, if appropriate, the negotiation of
mutually acceptable definitive agreements.
NOW THEREFORE, in
consideration of the foregoing and the mutual agreements and covenants contained
herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and
sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties hereto agree as
follows:
-
Confidential Information. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Confidential Information" shall mean, with respect to the
Disclosing Party, any "Trade Secret" (as defined under applicable law) or any
information which:
- Is not generally available to the public; and
- Pertains or relates in any way to the Disclosing Party or its
businesses, activities, products or services including, without limitation,
exhibitor and attendee lists, vendor lists, customer lists, marketing plans
and materials, price lists and related analyses, strategic partner
activities, market analyses, financial information, business plans, employee
compensation information, organizational structure, reports, strategic
plans, e-commerce activities, intellectual property rights, systems,
programs, techniques, know-how, software, works of authorship, contracts and
licenses, pricing methods or other similar information, as well as any
copies, reproductions, summaries, extracts, analyses, studies or other
derivative works prepared by the Receiving Party or
- Its representatives incorporating or developed from the Confidential
Information so disclosed.
-
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if any Confidential Information pertaining
to a Disclosing Party shall become generally available to the public other
than as a result of a breach by the Receiving Party of its covenants
hereunder, the same shall no longer be considered Confidential Information for
purposes of this Agreement. In addition, the term Confidential Information
shall not include information, technical data or know-how which (i) is in the
public domain at the time of receipt, (ii) is in the possession of the
Receiving Party at the time of disclosure, (iii) is expressly approved by the
Disclosing Party, in writing, for release, (iv) comes into the possession of
the Receiving Party from a third party that was not, to the Receiving Party's
knowledge, subject to any confidentiality restriction, or (v) is independently
developed by the Receiving Party without reference to the Confidential
Information.
-
Written materials that are intended to fall under the protection of this
Agreement will be clearly marked "Confidential," "Proprietary" or similar
marking. When verbal discussions between the Parties include Confidential
Information, that fact shall be announced in the discussion, and then within
ten days summarized in writing by the Disclosing Party, marked appropriately
as above, and presented to the Receiving Party. During that delay,
Confidential Information disclosed verbally will be treated exactly as if it
had been disclosed in writing.
Each Disclosing Party owns all rights with respect to its Confidential
Information disclosed to the Receiving Party, and no right, express or
implied, is conveyed to the receiving Party by the disclosure of the
Confidential Information that is made by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party.
-
Prohibition Against Disclosure or Use. The
parties shall use the Confidential Information only for the purpose of
evaluating the Proposed Transaction and, if appropriate, the negotiation of
mutually acceptable definitive agreement and the performance of work under
those agreements. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither party shall
disclose to any third party any Confidential Information concerning a
Disclosing Party or appropriate any such Confidential Information for its use
or benefit or for the use or benefit of any third party. Each Receiving Party
agrees that it shall not disclose to any person or entity, other than the
Receiving Party's agents, representatives or corporate officers that have a
need to know, any such Confidential Information without the prior written
consent of the Disclosing Party.
-
Return of Confidential Information. Immediately
upon demand by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall deliver to the
Disclosing Party all of its Confidential Information and copies thereof which
is then in the possession of the Receiving Party. At the request of the
Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall certify in writing that it has
destroyed or turned over to the Disclosing Party all documents containing such
Confidential Information.
-
Required Disclosure. If the Receiving Party
becomes legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, it shall
immediately notify the Disclosing Party so that the Disclosing Party may, at
its option, seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive
compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding any other
term or provision of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree that it shall be
permissible for either party to make disclosures regarding this Agreement or
the Proposed Transaction that are necessary or appropriate to fulfill its
obligations under any applicable federal or state securities law.
-
Governing Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement
shall be interpreted, construed, and governed according to the laws of England
and both parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts
of England and unconditionally and irrevocably waives its right to rely on the
jurisdiction of any other. Both parties agree that they can elect to take any
dispute to a suitable arbitrator or mediator as an alternative to going to
court.
-
Term of Agreement. This Agreement may not be
changed except by a writing signed jointly by the parties. This Agreement
shall be effective as of the date set forth above and the obligations of
confidentiality and nonuse shall continue for a period of three (3) years
thereafter such date, except with respect to Trade Secrets, if any, as to
which the obligations shall continue perpetually.
