Company Creation and Use of Confidential Information The Executive understands and acknowledges that the Company has invested, and continues to invest, substantial time, money and specialized knowledge into developing its resources, creating a customer base, generating customer and potential customer lists, training its employees, and improving its product offerings in the field of financial services. The Executive understands and acknowledges that as a result of these efforts, the Company has created, and continues to use and create Confidential Information. This Confidential Information provides the Company with a competitive advantage over others in the marketplace.
Maintenance of Confidential Information The Contractor acknowledges that in the course of its appointment hereunder the Contractor will, either directly or indirectly, have access to and be entrusted with information (whether oral, written or by inspection) relating to the Company or its respective affiliates, associates or customers (the “Confidential Information”). For the purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” includes, without limitation, any and all Developments (as defined herein), trade secrets, inventions, innovations, techniques, processes, formulas, drawings, designs, products, systems, creations, improvements, documentation, data, specifications, technical reports, customer lists, supplier lists, distributor lists, distribution channels and methods, retailer lists, reseller lists, employee information, financial information, sales or marketing plans, competitive analysis reports and any other thing or information whatsoever, whether copyrightable or uncopyrightable or patentable or unpatentable. The Contractor acknowledges that the Confidential Information constitutes a proprietary right, which the Company is entitled to protect. Accordingly the Contractor covenants and agrees that during the Term and thereafter until such time as all the Confidential Information becomes publicly known and made generally available through no action or inaction of the Contractor, the Contractor will keep in strict confidence the Confidential Information and shall not, without prior written consent of the Company in each instance, disclose, use or otherwise disseminate the Confidential Information, directly or indirectly, to any third party.
Reliance on Information For purposes of its obligations under this Section, the Primary Servicer shall be entitled to rely on the following information to the extent that such information relates to mortgage loans that are not serviced under this Agreement: (i) the final prospectus supplement prepared by the Depositor with respect to the offering of the securities issued by the ABS Issuing Entity and (ii) any reports delivered from time to time by the Master Servicer, the master servicer for the ABS Issuing Entity (if such party is not the Master Servicer), the trustee for the ABS Issuing Entity and/or the paying agent, certificate administrator or other similar party for the ABS Issuing Entity.
Access, Information and Confidentiality (a) From the date of this Agreement, until the date when the Investor no longer beneficially owns at least fifty percent (50%) or more of all of the Purchased Shares (a “Qualifying Ownership Interest”), subject to applicable law or regulatory requirements, the Company will use reasonable efforts to afford the Investor and its representatives (including employees of the Investor, and counsel, accountants, investment advisors and other professionals retained by the Investor) such access during normal business hours to its and the Company Subsidiaries’ books, records, properties and personnel and to such other information as the Investor may reasonably request. (b) Each party to this Agreement will hold, and will cause its respective subsidiaries and their directors, officers, employees, agents, consultants, and advisors to hold, in strict confidence, unless disclosure to a Governmental Entity (and, solely with respect to the Company, the Bankruptcy Court) is necessary or appropriate in connection with any necessary regulatory approval or unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other requirement of law or the applicable requirements of any Governmental Entity (and, solely with respect to the Company, the Bankruptcy Court), all nonpublic records, books, contracts, instruments, computer data and other data and information (collectively, “Information”) concerning the other party hereto furnished to it by such other party or its representatives pursuant to this Agreement (except to the extent that such Information can be shown to have been (1) previously known by such party on a nonconfidential basis, (2) in the public domain through no fault of such party, or (3) later lawfully acquired from other sources by the party to which it was furnished), and neither party hereto shall release or disclose such Information to any other person, except its auditors, attorneys, financial advisors, other consultants, and advisors and, to the extent permitted above, to bank regulatory authorities. Prior to any disclosure of Information permitted by the prior sentence, the party proposing to disclose such Information shall, to the extent legally permissible, provide notice to the other party so that the other party may, at its own expense, seek an protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 3.2(b). If such protective order or other remedy is denied, the party proposing to disclose such Information shall (x) furnish only that portion of the Information that, based upon the advice of counsel, is necessary to be disclosed in connection with such necessary regulatory approval or is compelled to be disclosed by such judicial or administrative process or by such other requirement of law or such applicable requirements and (y) use its reasonable best efforts to obtain assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded to the Information.
Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information Executive agrees that Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, use any Confidential Information on Executive’s own behalf or on behalf of any Person other than Employer, or reveal, divulge, or disclose any Confidential Information to any Person not expressly authorized by Employer to receive such Confidential Information. This obligation shall remain in effect for as long as the information or materials in question retain their status as Confidential Information. Executive further agrees to fully cooperate with Employer in maintaining the Confidential Information to the extent permitted by law. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, alter either Employer’s rights or Executive’s obligations under any state or federal statutory or common law regarding trade secrets and unfair trade practices. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive shall not be restricted from disclosing information that is required to be disclosed by law, court order, or other valid and appropriate legal process; provided, however, that in the event such disclosure is required by law, Executive shall provide Employer with prompt notice of such requirement so that Employer may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure by Executive. Executive understands and acknowledges that nothing in this section limits Executive’s ability to report possible violations of federal, state, or local law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity; to communicate with any government agencies or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any government agencies in connection with any charge or complaint, whether filed by Executive, on Executive’s behalf, or by any other individual; or to make other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal, state, or local law or regulation, and Executive shall not need the prior authorization of Employer to make any such reports or disclosures and shall not be required to notify Employer that Executive has made such reports or disclosures. In addition, and anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive is hereby given notice that Executive shall not be criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for disclosing a trade secret (as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1839) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, in either event solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or disclosing a trade secret (as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1839) in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
