Appearance of conflict Sample Clauses

Appearance of conflict. Acting in a manner that would make a reasonable person think you can be improperly influenced is prohibited. (See Section 23(b)(3)) A municipal employee may not act in a manner that would cause a reasonable person to think that she would show favor toward someone or that she can be improperly influenced. Section 23(b)(3) requires a municipal employee to consider whether her relationships and affiliations could prevent her from acting fairly and objectively when she performs her duties for a city or town. If she cannot be fair and objective because of a relationship or affiliation, she should not perform her duties. However, a municipal employee, whether elected or appointed, can avoid violating this provision by making a public disclosure of the facts. An appointed employee must make the disclosure in writing to his appointing official.

  • Waiver of Conflict Recognizing that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇ & ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (“▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇”) and Pinsent Masons (“Pinsent Masons”, and together with ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the “Law Firms”) have acted as legal counsel to the Company and the Subsidiary prior to the Closing Date in the course of the negotiation, documentation and consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby (the “Current Representation”), and that Law Firms may act as legal counsel to Sellers and their Affiliates after the Closing Date in connection with the Current Representation, each of the Company, Subsidiary and Buyer hereby waives, on its own behalf and agrees to cause its Affiliates to waive, any conflicts that may arise directly as a result of Law Firms representing any of the Sellers or their Affiliates after the Closing Date to the extent connected with the Current Representation. In addition, all communications involving attorney-client communications between or among the Company, Subsidiary, the Sellers, or any of their respective Affiliates and the Law Firms, solely to the extent that such communications (a) would be considered attorney-client confidences under applicable Law and (b) (i) solely relate to the Current Representation or (ii) solely relate to Sellers (the “Privileged Communications”) shall be deemed to be attorney-client confidences of Sellers (and not Buyer). Accordingly, the Privileged Communications shall remain privileged after the Closing Date and the Company, Subsidiary or Buyer shall not use any such Privileged Communications or demand access to the files of the Law Firms related to the Privileged Communications. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, upon and after the Closing Date, (i) Sellers (and not the Company, Subsidiary or Buyer) shall be the sole holder of the attorney-client privilege with respect to the Privileged Communications, and the Company or Subsidiary shall not be a holder thereof, (ii) to the extent that files of the Law Firms in respect of Privileged Communications constitute property of the client, only Sellers (and not the Company, Subsidiary or Buyer) shall hold such property rights and (iii) the Law Firms shall have no duty whatsoever to reveal or disclose any such Privileged Communications or such files thereof to the Company, Subsidiary or Buyer by reason of any attorney-client relationship between the Law Firms and the Company, Subsidiary or otherwise. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that a dispute arises between Buyer or the Company, or the Subsidiary and a third party (other than a Party to this Agreement or any of their respective Affiliates) after the Closing Date, the Company or Subsidiary may assert the attorney-client privilege to prevent disclosure of confidential communications by the Law Firms to such third party; provided, however, that neither the Company nor the Subsidiary may waive such privilege without the prior written consent of Sellers (not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Parties hereto agree that, other than the Privileged Communications, as to all other pre-Closing communications between the Law Firms, on the one hand, and the Company, Subsidiary or any of its Affiliates, on the other hand, including such communications that relate to the prior and ongoing business of the Company or Subsidiary, the attorney-client privilege and all other rights to any evidentiary privilege shall continue to belong to the Company or Subsidiary and may be controlled by the Company or the Subsidiary and shall not pass to or be claimed by Sellers or their Affiliates. Buyer shall not knowingly disclose any Privileged Communications to any third party following the Closing Date, unless compelled to disclose such Privileged Communications by judicial or administrative process or by other applicable Law. Buyer shall, to the extent permitted by applicable Law, promptly upon receipt by Buyer of any subpoena, discovery or other request from a third party that, to Buyer’s knowledge, calls for the production or disclosure of any Privileged Communications, promptly notify the Sellers of the existence of such subpoena, discovery or other request so that Sellers may assert, at the Sellers’ sole cost, any rights it may have to prevent the production or disclosure of such Privileged Communications.

  • Maintenance of Confidentiality Each party agrees that it shall take reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure and unauthorized use of the Confidential Information of the other party. Without limiting the foregoing, each party shall take at least those measures that it takes to protect its own most highly confidential information and shall ensure that its employees who have access to Confidential Information of the other party have signed a non-use and non-disclosure agreement in content similar to the provisions hereof, prior to any disclosure of Confidential Information to such employees. Neither party shall make any copies of the Confidential Information of the other party unless the same are previously approved in writing by the other party. Each party shall reproduce the other party's proprietary rights notices on any such approved copies, in the same manner in which such notices were set forth in or on the original.
