In connection with a proposed business relationship, Company (“Company”) has allowed you
(Full Name) access, or may allow you access to business, technical or other information,
material and/or ideas (“Proprietary Information,” which term shall include, without limitation,
anything you learn or discover as a result of exposure to or analysis of any Proprietary
Information).
In consideration of any disclosure and any negotiations concerning the proposed business
relationship, you agree as follows:
1. You will hold in confidence and will not possess or use (except as required to evaluate the
proposed business relationship within the U.S.) or disclose any Proprietary Information except
information you can document (a) is in the public domain through no fault of yours, (b) was
properly known to you, without restriction, prior to disclosure by Company or (c) was properly
disclosed to you by another person without restriction. You will not reverse engineer or
attempt to derive the composition or underlying information, structure or ideas of any
Proprietary Information. The foregoing does not grant you a license in or to any of the
Proprietary Information.
2. If you decide not to proceed with the proposed business relationship or if asked by
Company, you will promptly return all Proprietary Information and all copies, extracts and
other objects or items in which Proprietary Information may be contained or embodied.
3. You will promptly notify Company of any unauthorized release, disclosure or use of
Proprietary Information.
4. You understand that this Agreement does not obligate Company to disclose any
information or negotiate or enter into any agreement or relationship. You will strictly abide
by any and all instructions and restrictions provided by Company from time to time with
respect to Proprietary Information or Company systems. You will ensure the security of any
facilities, machines, accounts, passwords and methods you use to store any Proprietary
Information or to access Company systems and ensure that no other person has or obtains
access thereto.
5. The terms of this Agreement will remain in effect with respect to any particular Proprietary
Information until you can document that such Proprietary Information falls into one of the
exceptions stated in Paragraph 1 above.
6. You acknowledge and agree that due to the unique nature of the Proprietary
Information, any breach of this agreement would cause irreparable harm to Company for
which damages are not an adequate remedy, and that Company shall therefore be
entitled to equitable relief in addition to all other remedies available at law.
7. Until one year after the later of (i) the date of this Agreement or (ii) the last disclosure of
Proprietary Information to you, you will not encourage or solicit any employee or consultant
of Company to leave Company for any reason.
8. This Agreement is personal to you, is nonassignable by you, is governed by the internal
laws of the State and may be modified or waived only in writing signed by both parties. If
any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, such provision will be limited
or deleted to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms remain in full force
and effect. The prevailing party in any dispute or legal action regarding the subject matter of
this Agreement shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs.
