(Attached)

 

 
 

 

NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT

 Dated as of July 25, 2016

 

This Non-Disclosure Agreement (this “Agreement”) is entered into as of the date first set forth above by and between Carolco Pictures, Inc., a Florida corporation (the “Company”), and the person whose name is set forth on the signature page hereof adjacent to “Recipient” (the “Recipient”, and together with the Company, the “Parties” and each individually, a “Party”).

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the promises and covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the Parties hereto hereby agree as follows:

 

1. The purpose of this Agreement is to allow Recipient to obtain from the Company certain technical and business information of the Company under terms that will protect the confidential and proprietary nature of such information, for the purpose of furthering the Parties’ relationship (the “Purpose”).

 

2. As used in this Agreement, “Confidential Information” shall mean any and all information furnished or disclosed, in whatever form or medium, by the Company or its Representatives (as defined below) to Recipient or his Representatives, and shall include all information relating to the Company, including, but not limited to:

 

  a. any data or information that is competitively sensitive material, including but not limited to products, planning information, marketing strategies and opportunities, price lists, plans, finance, operations, customer relationships or potential customer relationships, customer profiles, partner relationships or potential partner relationships, advertising and public relation relationships or potential advertising and public relation relationships, sales estimates, business plan and internal performances results relating to the past, present or future business activities of the Company or its owners, or the Company’s customers, clients, manufacturers, vendors, employees or suppliers;

3. Recipient agrees to use Confidential Information only for the Purpose and shall use reasonable care not to disclose Confidential Information to any third party, such care to be at least equal to the care exercised by Recipient as to its own confidential information, which standard of care shall not be less than the current industry standard in effect as of the date of such receipt. Recipient agrees that it shall make disclosure of any such Confidential Information only to employees (including temporary and leased employees subject to a confidentiality obligation), officers, directors, attorneys and wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Representatives”), to whom disclosure is reasonably necessary for the Purpose. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, the Parties acknowledge and agree that Recipient may, with notice to the Company, disclose any Confidential Information as and to the extent that Recipient’s counsel deems required pursuant to any law or governmental regulation, or pursuant to the order of a court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction provided, however, that in such case Recipient shall inform the Company prior to such disclosure and shall only disclose so much of the Confidential Information as may be required for compliance with such law or governmental regulation and provided that Recipient shall cooperate with Company to legally contest, request confidential treatment, or otherwise avoid such disclosure, as requested by the Company.

 

 
 

 

4. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason, or upon the termination of Recipient’s relationship with the Company or upon request by the Company made at any time, all Confidential Information, together with any copies of same as may be authorized herein, shall be returned to the Company, or destroyed and certified as such by Recipient.

 

5. The obligations imposed in this Agreement shall not apply to any Confidential Information that: (i) was already in the possession of Recipient at the time of disclosure without restrictions on its use or is independently developed by Recipient after the effective date of this Agreement, provided that the person or persons developing same have not used any Confidential Information in such development, or is rightfully obtained from a source other than from the Company; (ii) is in the public domain at the time of disclosure or subsequently becomes available to the general public through no fault of Recipient; (iii) is obtained by Recipient from a third person who is under no obligation of confidence to the Company; or (iv) is disclosed without restriction by the Company.

 

6.
