Confidentiality of Records Each Investor agrees to use, and to use its best efforts to insure that its authorized representatives use, the same degree of care as such Investor uses to protect its own confidential information to keep confidential any information furnished to it which the Company identifies as being confidential or proprietary (so long as such information is not in the public domain), except that such Investor may disclose such proprietary or confidential information to any partner, subsidiary or parent of such Investor for the purpose of evaluating its investment in the Company as long as such partner, subsidiary or parent is advised of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 3.3.
Post-Closing Confidentiality From and after the Closing Date until the fourth (4th) anniversary thereof, the Equityholders’ Representative and each of the Sellers shall, and shall cause his, her or its Affiliates to, keep confidential (except as may be disclosed to his, her or its Affiliates, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or other representatives) and not use or disclose any and all confidential information relating directly to Purchaser or the Acquired Businesses that remains in or comes into his, her or its possession after the Closing. The foregoing will not preclude the Equityholders’ Representative, the Sellers and the foregoing Persons from (a) disclosing such confidential information if compelled to disclose the same by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law (subject to the following sentence), (b) discussing, disclosing or using such confidential information if the same hereafter is in the public domain (other than as a result of a breach of this Section 12.3), or (c) discussing, disclosing or using such confidential information if the same is acquired from a Person that is not, to such discussing, disclosing or using Person’s knowledge, after reasonable inquiry, under an obligation to keep such information confidential. If the Equityholders’ Representative or any Seller is requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal, administrative, arbitration or other formal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any such confidential information, the Equityholders’ Representative or such Seller, as applicable, shall promptly notify Purchaser of any such request or requirement so that Purchaser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 12.3. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Purchaser, the Equityholders’ Representative or any Seller is required to disclose such information, the Equityholders’ Representative or such Seller, as applicable, without liability hereunder, may disclose that portion of such information that it believes in good faith it is legally required to disclose. Notwithstanding the first sentence of this Section 12.3, the Equityholders’ Representative and any Seller may only disclose such confidential information to those of its or his Affiliates, attorneys, accountants, financial advisors or other representatives (collectively, “Representatives”) if such Representative (i) needs to know such information and (ii) is subject to obligations of confidentiality that are no less stringent than those to which the Equityholders’ Representative and the Sellers are subject to pursuant to the terms of this Section 12.3. The Equityholders’ Representative and the Sellers shall be liable to Purchaser for the breach of this Section 12.3 by any of their Representatives.
