TERMS

 

In consideration of the foregoing premises and the following mutual undertakings, representations and agreements, and intending to be legally bound, the parties agree as follows:

 

1.          Company has engaged, or proposes to engage, Consultant as a consultant for the purpose of providing technical consulting services to Company within the areas of Consultant’s expertise (the “Proposed Engagement”). In connection with the Proposed Engagement, Consultant will receive and review and otherwise have access to confidential materials and information that belong (or are licensed) to Company.

8.          Notwithstanding the non-disclosure obligations set forth in Section 2, Consultant shall not be in breach of this Agreement if he, she or it discloses Confidential Proprietary Information in compliance with a court or administrative subpoena or order; provided, however, that (a) any such disclosure shall not otherwise relieve Consultant of its continuing confidentiality and non-use obligations hereunder with respect to all of the Confidential Proprietary Information, including the information disclosed by it to the court or agency under this Section 8 and (b) Consultant shall give Company reasonable advance notice of any such disclosure and cooperate reasonably with Company (and at Company’s expense) in Company’s efforts to object to such disclosure and to obtain the court’s or administrative agency’s agreement to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Proprietary Information to be disclosed by Consultant under this Section 8.

 

9.          Misuse or disclosure of the Confidential Proprietary Information or misappropriation of Company’s business relationships by breach of the non-solicitation obligations in Section 4, by Consultant shall cause irreparable harm to Company not adequately compensable by money damages. If Consultant violates or threatens to violate any provision contained herein, Consultant hereby consents to the entry of a restraining order or injunction, or both, against it, without the need to post any bond and without the need to demonstrate actual damages, in order to protect the confidentiality and value of the Confidential Proprietary Information, and the entry of such restraining order or injunction, or both, shall not preclude Company from seeking any damages or other relief to which it may be entitled under law.

 

10.          This Agreement shall terminate, and the covenants contained in this Agreement shall be ineffective with respect to any information initially disclosed more than, six months after termination of the consulting services of the Consultant, provided that the provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms after such termination with respect to all Confidential Proprietary Information disclosed prior to such termination.

 

11.          This Agreement, together with any instrument documenting the Proposed Engagement, represents the entire understanding and agreement of the parties as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions, proposals and writings with respect thereto. In order to be effective, any modification hereof must be specific, express (not implied), in writing and signed by authorized representatives of the parties. If the parties hereto enter into a definitive agreement(s) relating to the Proposed Engagement, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, except as otherwise contemplated in such definitive agreement(s). This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns and legal representatives of the parties. This Agreement shall be assignable by Company. This Agreement is not assignable by Consultant without Company’s prior written consent.

 

12.          If any provision of this Agreement is declared void or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed excluded or modified to the extent necessary to allow enforcement hereof, and all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.

 

13.          This Agreement shall be governed, construed and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware, without reference to the conflicts of law rules of such jurisdiction, and the parties agree to personal jurisdiction and venue in the state and federal courts of the State of Delaware in any suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement.
