(d) except to the extent set forth in Section 4.3(d), any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or omission or alleged omission to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, contained in the Registration Statement or the Information Statement or in any registration statement filed by JAX (or related prospectus) in connection with the Distribution, or in any materials or information provided to investors by, or with the approval of, JAX in connection with the marketing of the Distribution; and

		16		FNF: JAX: Separation and Distribution Agreement

Section 4.4 Insurance.

(a) Each of FNF and JAX shall use its respective commercially reasonable efforts to collect any proceeds under its respective available and applicable third party insurance policies to which it or any of its Subsidiaries is entitled before seeking indemnification under this Agreement, where allowed; provided, however, that any such actions by an Indemnified Party will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to pay directly or reimburse the Indemnified Party for costs and expenses actually incurred by the Indemnified Party.

(b) The amount of any Loss subject to indemnification pursuant to this Agreement will be reduced by any amounts actually recovered (including insurance proceeds or other amounts actually recovered under insurance policies, net of any out-of-pocket costs or expenses incurred in the collection thereof), whether retroactively or prospectively, by the Indemnified Party from any third Person with respect to such Loss. If any Indemnified Party recovers an amount from a third Person in respect of any Loss for which indemnification is provided in this Agreement after the full amount of such indemnifiable Loss has been paid by an Indemnifying Party or after an Indemnifying Party has made a payment of such indemnifiable Loss and the amount received from the third Person exceeds the remaining unpaid balance of such indemnifiable Loss, then the Indemnified Party will promptly remit to the Indemnifying Party the excess (if any) of (i) the sum of the amount previously paid by such Indemnifying Party in respect of such indemnifiable Loss plus the amount received by such Indemnified Party from such third Person in respect of such indemnifiable Loss (after deducting any costs and expenses that have not yet been paid or reimbursed by the Indemnifying Party), minus (ii) the full amount of such indemnifiable Loss. An insurer or other third Person who would otherwise be obligated to pay any Loss shall not be relieved of the responsibility with respect thereto by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof or, solely by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof, have any subrogation rights with respect thereto, it being understood and agreed that no insurer or any third Person shall be entitled to a “windfall” (i.e., a benefit it would not be entitled to receive in the absence of the indemnification provisions) by virtue of the indemnification provisions hereof.

Section 4.5 Procedures for Indemnification of Third Party Claims.

(a) If an Indemnified Party shall receive notice or otherwise learn of the assertion by any Person who is not a member of the FNF Group or the JAX Group of any claim, or of the commencement by any such Person of any Action, with respect to which an Indemnifying Party may be obligated to provide indemnification to such Indemnified Party pursuant to Section 4.2 or Section 4.3, or any other Section of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (other than the Tax Matters Agreement) (collectively, a “Third Party Claim”), such Indemnified Party shall give such Indemnifying Party prompt written notice thereof and, in any event, within ten (10) days after such Indemnified Party received notice of such Third Party Claim. Any such notice shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, including, if known, the amount of the Liability for which indemnification may be available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the failure of any Indemnified Party or other Person to give notice as provided in this Section 4.5(a) shall not relieve the related Indemnifying Party of its obligations under this Article IV, except to the extent that such Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.


		17		FNF: JAX: Separation and Distribution Agreement

(b) An Indemnifying Party may elect (but is not required) to assume the defense of and defend, at such Indemnifying Party’s own expense and by such Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, any Third Party Claim. Within thirty (30) days after the receipt of notice from an Indemnified Party in accordance with Section 4.5(a) (or sooner, if the nature of such Third Party Claim so requires), the Indemnifying Party shall notify the Indemnified Party of its election whether the Indemnifying Party will assume control of the defense of such Third Party Claim, which election shall specify any reservations or exceptions. If, in such notice, the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in (but not control) the defense, compromise, or settlement thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be the expense solely of such Indemnified Party.

(c) If, in such notice, an Indemnifying Party elects not to assume responsibility for defending a Third Party Claim, or fails to notify an Indemnified Party of its election as provided in Section 4.5(b), such Indemnified Party may defend such Third Party Claim at the cost and expense of the Indemnifying Party (subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement).

(d) The Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to compromise or settle a Third Party Claim the defense of which it shall have assumed pursuant to Section 4.5(b) except with the consent of the Indemnified Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Any such settlement or compromise made or caused to be made of a Third Party Claim in accordance with this Article IV shall be binding on the Indemnified Party in the same manner as if a final judgment or decree had been entered by a court of competent jurisdiction in the amount of such settlement or compromise. For the avoidance of doubt, the Indemnified Party’s failure to consent to any such settlement or compromise shall be deemed unreasonable if such settlement or compromise (1) provides for an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party from Liability with respect to such Third Party Claim and (2) does not require the Indemnified Party to make any payment that is not fully indemnified under this Agreement or to be subject to any non-monetary remedy. If the Indemnified Party unreasonably withholds a consent required by this Section 4.5(d) to the terms of a compromise or settlement of a Third Party Claim proposed to the Indemnified Party by the Indemnifying Party, the Indemnifying Party’s obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party for such Third Party Claim (if applicable) shall not exceed the total amount that had been proposed in such compromise or settlement offer plus the amount of all expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party with respect to such Third Party Claim through the date on which such consent was requested.

(e) In the event of payment by or on behalf of any Indemnifying Party to any Indemnified Party in connection with any Third Party Claim, such Indemnifying Party shall be subrogated to and shall stand in the place of such Indemnified Party as to any events or circumstances in respect of which such Indemnified Party may have any right, defense or claim relating to such Third Party Claim against any claimant or plaintiff asserting such Third Party Claim or against any other Person. Such Indemnified Party shall cooperate with such Indemnifying Party in a reasonable manner, and at the cost and expense of such Indemnifying Party, in prosecuting any subrogated right, defense or claim.


		18		FNF: JAX: Separation and Distribution Agreement

(f) The provisions of Section 4.2 through Section 4.6 shall not apply to matters that are governed by the Tax Matters Agreement.

Section 4.6 Procedures for Indemnification of Non-Third Party Claims. Any claim with respect to a Liability that does not result from a Third Party Claim shall be asserted by written notice given by the Indemnified Party to the Indemnifying Party. Such Indemnifying Party shall have a period of thirty (30) days after the receipt of such notice within which to respond thereto. If such Indemnifying Party does not respond in writing within such 30-day period, such Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have agreed to accept responsibility to make payment. If such Indemnifying Party (a) does not respond within such 30-day period or (b) rejects such claim in whole or in part and does not deliver a Dispute Escalation Notice pursuant to Section 10.8 within such 30-day period, then, in either case, such Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to such Party as contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 4.7 Survival of Indemnities. The rights and obligations of each of FNF and JAX and their respective Indemnified Parties under this Article IV shall survive the sale or other transfer by any Party of any of its Assets or Businesses or the assignment by it of any Liabilities.

Section 4.8 Remedies Cumulative. The remedies provided in this Article IV shall be cumulative and shall not preclude assertion by any Indemnified Party of any other rights or the seeking of any and all other remedies against any Indemnifying Party; provided, that the procedures set forth in this Article IV shall be the exclusive procedures governing any indemnity action brought under this Agreement.

Section 4.9 Ancillary Agreements. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, to the extent any Ancillary Agreement contains any indemnification obligation relating to any FNF Liability, FNF Asset, JAX Liability or JAX Asset contributed, assumed, retained, transferred, delivered or conveyed pursuant to such Ancillary Agreement, the indemnification obligations contained herein shall not apply to such FNF Liability, FNF Asset, JAX Liability or JAX Asset and instead the indemnification obligations set forth in such Ancillary Agreement shall govern with regard to such FNF Asset, FNF Liability, JAX Asset or JAX Liability.

Section 4.10 Mutual Release.

(a) Except as provided in Section 4.10(c), effective as of the Effective Time, FNF does hereby, on behalf of itself and each other member of the FNF Group, their respective Affiliates (other than any member of the JAX Group), successors and assigns, and all Persons who at any time before the Effective Time have been stockholders (other than any member of the JAX Group), directors, officers, agents or employees of any member of the FNF Group (in each case, in their respective capacities as such) (the “FNF Releasors”), unconditionally and irrevocably release and discharge each of JAX, the other members of the JAX Group, their respective Affiliates (other than any member of the FNF Group), successors and assigns, and all


		19		FNF: JAX: Separation and Distribution Agreement

(c) Nothing contained in Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(b) shall impair any right of any Person to enforce this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, nor shall anything contained in this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement be interpreted as terminating as of the Effective Time any rights under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement. For purposes of clarification, nothing contained in Section 4.10(a) or Section 4.10(b) shall release any Person from:

(i) any Liability provided in or resulting from this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements (including for greater certainty, any Liability resulting or flowing from any breaches of such agreements that arose before the Effective Time);

(ii) with respect to FNF, any FNF Liability and, with respect to JAX, any JAX Liability;

(iii) any Liability that the Parties may have under Article IV with respect to Third Party Claims;

(iv) any Liability for unpaid Inter-Group Indebtedness (if any); or

(v) any Liability the release of which would result in the release of any Person other than a Person released pursuant to this Section 4.10.


		20		FNF: JAX: Separation and Distribution Agreement

In addition, nothing contained in this Section 4.10 shall release FNF from honoring its existing obligations to indemnify any director, officer or employee of JAX who was a director, officer or employee of FNF or any other member of the FNF Group on or before the Effective Time, to the extent that such director, officer or employee becomes a named defendant in any litigation involving FNF or any other member of the FNF Group and was entitled to such indemnification pursuant to the then existing obligations of a member of the FNF Group.

(d) FNF shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the FNF Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against JAX or any other member of the JAX Group or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.10(a), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.10(a). JAX shall not make, and shall not permit any other member of the JAX Group to make, any claim or demand, or commence any Action asserting any claim or demand, including any claim of contribution or any indemnification, against FNF or any other member of the FNF Group or any other Person released pursuant to Section 4.10(b), with respect to any Liabilities released pursuant to Section 4.10(b).

		23		FNF: JAX: Separation and Distribution Agreement

(b) Notwithstanding Section 6.5(a), from and after the Effective Time, with respect to losses, damages, wrongful acts or liability incurred before the Effective Time, JAX may access FNF’s insurance policies as follows:

(i) to file claims against FNF’s occurrence policies in effect at or before the Effective Time for losses based on covered injuries occurring at or before the Effective Time; and

(ii) to file claims against FNF’s claims made policies in force at the time the claim is made if the act giving rise to the claim occurred before the Effective Time;

provided, however, that, in the case of each of clause (i) and (ii), such access to, and the right to make claims under such insurance policies, shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the applicable insurance policies, including any limits on coverage or scope, any deductible and other fees and expenses, and shall be subject to:

(A) For so long as JAX may access FNF’s policies, JAX shall report as promptly as practicable claims under all accessed FNF insurance policies directly to the applicable insurance company in accordance with FNF’s claim reporting procedures in effect immediately before the Effective Time and provide copies of such reported claims to FNF’s Treasurer and Corporate Secretary;

(B) JAX shall indemnify, hold harmless and reimburse FNF and its Subsidiaries for any deductibles and self-insured retention incurred by FNF or its Subsidiaries to the extent resulting from any access to, or any claims made by JAX or any of its Subsidiaries under, any insurance policies provided pursuant to Section 6.5(b)(i) and Section 6.5(b)(ii) including any indemnity payments, settlements, judgments, legal fees and allocated claims expenses and claim handling fees, whether such claims are made by JAX, its employees or third Persons;

(C) JAX shall exclusively bear (and FNF shall have no obligation to repay or reimburse JAX or its Subsidiaries for) and shall be liable for all uninsured, uncovered, unavailable or uncollectible amounts of all such claims made by JAX or any of its Subsidiaries under the policies as provided for in this Section 6.5(b); and

(D) JAX shall be responsible for, and shall directly pay the applicable third Person, all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the filing and prosecution of any claim and the collection of any insurance proceeds related thereto.

(c) Any payments, costs and adjustments required pursuant to Section 6.5(b) and which are incurred and/or paid by FNF shall be billed by FNF to JAX on a monthly basis and payable within 30 days from receipt of invoice.

If FNF incurs costs to enforce JAX’s obligations herein, JAX agrees to indemnify FNF for such enforcement costs, including attorneys’ fees.


		24		FNF: JAX: Separation and Distribution Agreement

(d) Except as set forth in the proviso to Section 6.5(a), JAX acknowledges and agrees on its own behalf, and on behalf of each other member of the JAX Group, that neither JAX nor any member of the JAX Group shall have any right or claim against FNF or any of its Subsidiaries for reimbursement, payment or any other obligation arising from any insurance policy covering JAX or any member of the JAX Group, and hereby irrevocably releases, as of the Effective Time, FNF and its Subsidiaries from all of the duties, obligations, responsibilities and liabilities, known or unknown, reported or not reported, imposed upon FNF or any of its Subsidiaries to the extent resulting from, relating to or arising out of any such insurance policy, without recourse to FNF or any of its Subsidiaries.

(e) FNF shall retain the exclusive right to control its insurance policies and programs, including the right to exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with respect to any of its insurance policies and programs and to amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs, notwithstanding whether any such policies or programs apply to any JAX Liabilities and/or claims JAX has made or could make in the future, and no member of the JAX Group shall, without the prior written consent of FNF, erode, exhaust, settle, release, commute, buy-back or otherwise resolve disputes with FNF’s insurers with respect to any of FNF’s insurance policies and programs, or amend, modify or waive any rights under any such insurance policies and programs. JAX shall cooperate with FNF and share such information as is reasonably necessary to permit FNF to manage and conduct its insurance matters as it deems appropriate.

(f) At the Effective Time, JAX shall have in effect all insurance programs required to comply with law or JAX’s contractual obligations and such other insurance policies as reasonably necessary or customary for companies operating a business similar to JAX’s.

(g) FNF and its Subsidiaries shall have no obligation to secure extended reporting for any claims under any of FNF’s or its Subsidiaries’ claims-made or occurrence-reported liability policies for any acts or omissions by any member of the JAX Group incurred before the Effective Time.

(h) This Agreement shall not be considered as an attempted assignment of any policy of insurance or as a contract of insurance and shall not be construed to waive any right or remedy of any member of the FNF Group in respect of any of the FNF insurance policies and programs or any other contract or policy of insurance.

ARTICLE VII

ACCESS TO INFORMATION

Section 7.1 Agreement for Exchange of Information.

(a) Each of FNF and JAX, on behalf of its respective Group, agrees to provide, or cause to be provided, to the other Party and its auditors, at any time after the Distribution Date, as soon as reasonably practicable after written request therefor from such other Party, any Information in the possession or under the control of such respective Group (including access to such Group’s accountants, personnel and facilities) that the requesting Party reasonably needs (i) to comply with reporting, disclosure, filing or other requirements imposed on the requesting Party (including under applicable securities Laws) by a Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the requesting Party (including pursuant to Section 7.1(d)), (ii) for use in any other judicial, regulatory, administrative or other proceeding or to satisfy audit, accounting, claims, regulatory, litigation or other similar requirements, or (iii) to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement (other than with respect to matters governed by the Tax Matters Agreement, which shall remain subject solely to the terms and conditions set forth therein); provided, however, that in the event that any Party reasonably determines that any such provision of Information could be commercially detrimental to such Party or any member of its Group, violate any Law or agreement to which such Party or member of its Group is a party, or waive any attorney-client privilege applicable to such Party or member of its Group, the Parties shall take reasonable measures to permit the compliance with the obligations pursuant to this Section 7.1(a) in a manner that avoids any such harm or consequence. FNF and JAX intend that any transfer of Information that would otherwise be within the attorney-client privilege shall not operate as a waiver of any potentially applicable privilege.

(b) Following the Distribution Date, each Party shall make its employees available during normal business hours and on reasonable prior notice to provide an explanation of any Information provided hereunder.

(c) Until the end of the first full FNF fiscal year occurring after the Distribution Date (and for a reasonable period of time afterwards as required for each Party to prepare consolidated financial statements or complete a financial statement audit for the fiscal year during which the Distribution Date occurs), each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts, consistent with past practice, to enable the other Party to meet its timetable for dissemination of its financial statements and enable such other Party’s auditors to timely complete their annual audit and quarterly financial statements.

(d) In order to enable the principal executive officer or officers, principal financial officer or officers and controller or controllers of the other Party to make the certifications required of them by Rule 13a-14 under the Exchange Act, within thirty (30) days following the end of any fiscal quarter during which JAX was a Subsidiary of any member of the FNF Group, each Party shall cause its officers or employees to provide the other Party with the certification statements of such officers and employees with respect to such quarter or portion thereof, in substantially the same form and manner as such officers or employees provided such certification statements before the Distribution Date, or as otherwise agreed upon between the Parties. Such certification statements shall also reflect any changes in certification statements necessitated by the Separation, Distribution and any other transactions related thereto.


		26		FNF: JAX: Separation and Distribution Agreement

Section 7.2 Ownership of Information. Any Information owned by one Group that is provided to a requesting Party pursuant to Section 7.1 shall be deemed to remain the property of the providing Party. Unless specifically set forth herein or in any Ancillary Agreement, nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as granting or conferring rights of license or otherwise in any such Information.

Section 7.3 Compensation for Providing Information. The Party requesting such Information agrees to reimburse the other Party for the reasonable out-of-pocket costs, if any, of creating, gathering and copying such Information or for providing explanations of Information provided, to the extent that such costs are incurred for the benefit of the requesting Party by or on behalf of such other Party’s Group. Except as may be specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement or in any other Ancillary Agreement, such costs shall be computed in accordance with the providing Party’s reasonable standard methodology and procedures.

Section 7.4 Record Retention.

FNF and JAX intend that any transfer of Information that would otherwise be within the attorney-client privilege shall not operate as a waiver of any potentially applicable privilege.

Section 7.5 Limitation of Liability. Notwithstanding Article IV, no Party shall have any Liability to the other Party in the event that any Information exchanged or provided pursuant to this Agreement (and not otherwise constituting part of this Agreement, its Exhibits or Schedules), or otherwise in connection with the Separation and the other transactions contemplated hereby, is found to be inaccurate, whether such Information is exchanged or provided before or after the Effective Time, in the absence of willful misconduct by the providing Party.

The provisions of Section 7.1 through Section 7.7 shall not apply to matters governed by the Tax Matters Agreement.

Section 7.7 Production of Witnesses; Records; Cooperation.

(a) Except in the case of an Action by one Party against another Party (which shall be governed by such discovery rules as may be applicable thereto), each Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the other Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with any Action in which the requesting Party may from time to time be involved, regardless of whether such Action is a matter with respect to which indemnification may be sought hereunder. The requesting Party shall bear all reasonable out-of-pocket costs and expenses in connection therewith.

(b) If an Indemnifying Party chooses to defend or to seek to compromise or settle any Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to make available to the Indemnifying Party, upon written request, the former, current and future directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents of the members of its respective Group as witnesses and any books, records or other documents within its control or which it otherwise has the ability to make available, to the extent that any such Person (giving consideration to business demands of such directors, officers, employees, other personnel and agents) or books, records or other documents may reasonably be required in connection with such defense, settlement or compromise, and shall otherwise cooperate in such defense, settlement or compromise.

(c) Without limiting the foregoing, the Parties shall cooperate and consult, and shall cause each member of its respective Group to cooperate and consult, to the extent reasonably necessary with respect to any Actions and any Related Claims with respect thereto.

(d) Without limiting any provision of this Section 7.7, each of the Parties agrees to cooperate, and to cause each member of its respective Group to cooperate, at the other Party’s sole cost and expense, with the other Party and each member of its respective Group in the defense of any claim that the Business of the other Party or its Group members infringes upon or misappropriates third Person Intellectual Property and shall not acknowledge or concede, or permit any member of its respective Group to acknowledge or concede (i) that the Business of the other Party or its Group members infringes upon such third Person Intellectual Property (ii) or that such third Person Intellectual Property is valid or enforceable, in a manner that would hamper or undermine the defense of such infringement or misappropriation claim.


		28		FNF: JAX: Separation and Distribution Agreement

(e) In connection with any matter contemplated by this Section 7.7, the Parties will enter into a mutually acceptable joint defense agreement so as to maintain to the extent practicable any applicable attorney-client privilege or work product immunity of any member of any Group.

(f) With respect to any Third Party Claim that implicates both Parties in any material respect due to the allocation of Liabilities or otherwise, or the responsibilities for management of defense and related indemnities pursuant to this Agreement or any of the Ancillary Agreements, the Parties agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate fully and maintain a joint defense (in a manner that will preserve for all Parties any privilege with respect thereto). The Party that is not responsible for managing the defense of any such Third Party Claim shall, upon reasonable request, be consulted with respect to significant matters relating thereto and may, if necessary or helpful, retain counsel to assist in the defense of such claims. Each of FNF and JAX agrees that at all times from and after the Effective Time, if an Action is commenced by a third party naming two (2) or more Parties (or any member of such Parties’ respective Groups) as defendants and with respect to which one or more named Parties (or any member of such Party’s respective Group) is a nominal defendant and/or such Action is otherwise not a Liability allocated to such named Party under this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement, then the other Party or Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause such nominal defendant to be removed from such Action, as soon as reasonably practicable.

Section 7.8 Confidentiality.

(a) General. Each Party acknowledges (i) that such Party has in its possession and, in connection with this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements such Party will receive, Information of the other Party that is not available to the general public, and (ii) that such Information may constitute, contain or include material non-public Information of the other Party. Subject to Section 7.8(c), as of the Distribution Date, FNF, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, and JAX, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates, agrees to hold, and to cause its and their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, third party contractors, vendors, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives to hold, in strict confidence, with at least the same degree of care that such Party applies to its own confidential and proprietary Information pursuant to its applicable policies and procedures in effect as of the Distribution Date, all Information (including Information received and/or obtained pursuant to Section 7.1) concerning the other Party (or its Business) and such other Party’s Affiliates (or their respective Business) that is either in its possession (including Information in its possession before the Distribution Date) or furnished by the other Party or the other Party’s Affiliates or their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, third party contractors, vendors, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives at any time pursuant to this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements, and will not use such Information other than for such purposes as may be expressly permitted hereunder, except, in each case, to the extent that such Information: (i) is or becomes available to the general public, other than as a result of a disclosure by such Party or its Affiliates or any of their respective directors, officers, employees, agents, third party contractors, vendors, accountants, counsel and other advisors and representatives in breach of this Agreement; (ii) was available to such Party or its Affiliates or becomes available to such Party or its Affiliates, on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the other Party hereto,


		29		FNF: JAX: Separation and Distribution Agreement

provided, that, the source of such Information was not bound by a confidentiality obligation with respect to such Information, or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the Information to such Party or its Affiliates by a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation; or (iii) is independently generated by such Party without use of or reference to any proprietary or confidential Information of the other Party.

(b) No Disclosure, Compliance with Law, Return or Destruction. Following the Effective Time, each Party agrees not to release or disclose, or permit to be released or disclosed, any Information with respect to the other Party to any other Person, except its directors, officers, employees, agents, third party contractors, vendors, accountants, counsel, lenders, investors and other advisors and representatives who need to know such Information in connection with this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements or for valid business reasons relating thereto, and except in compliance with Section 7.8(c). Each Party shall advise its directors, officers, employees, agents, third party contractors, vendors, accountants, counsel, lenders, investors and other advisors and representatives who have been provided with such Information of such Party’s confidentiality obligations hereunder and that such Information may constitute, contain or include material non-public Information of the other Party. Following the Effective Time, each Party shall, and shall cause, its directors, officers, employees, agents, third party contractors, vendors, accountants, counsel, lenders, investors and other advisors and representatives who have been provided with such Information to, use such Information only in accordance with (i) the terms of this Agreement or the Ancillary Agreements and (ii) applicable Law (including federal and state securities Laws). Following the Effective Time, each Party shall promptly, after receiving a written request of the other Party, return to the other Party all such Information in a tangible form (including all copies thereof and all notes, extracts or summaries based thereon) or certify to the other Party that it has destroyed such Information (and such copies thereof and such notes, extracts or summaries based thereon), as directed by the other Party; provided, however, that in no event shall either Party be required to destroy any hardware that includes Information if such Information is only accessible to highly skilled computer experts and cannot otherwise be deleted or destroyed without undue cost or effort (provided that such Information will remain subject to the confidentiality protection provisions herein).

(c) Protective Arrangements. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in the event that, following the Effective Time, either Party or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents, third party contractors, vendors, accountants, counsel, lenders, investors or other advisors or representatives either determines on the advice of its counsel that it is required to disclose any Information pursuant to applicable Law or the rules or regulations of a Governmental Authority or receives any demand under lawful process or from any Governmental Authority to disclose or provide Information of the other Party that is subject to the confidentiality provisions hereof, such Party shall, if possible, notify the other Party before disclosing or providing such Information and shall cooperate at the expense of the other Party in seeking any reasonable protective arrangements requested by such other Party. In the event that a protective arrangement is not obtained, the Person that received such request (i) may thereafter disclose or provide such Information to the extent required by such Law (as so advised by counsel) or by lawful process or such Governmental Authority, without liability therefor and (ii) shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts to have confidential treatment accorded any such Information so furnished.
