Seller shall identify to Purchaser, within fifteen (15) calendar days after the date hereof, a group of its salaried personnel (with the necessary expertise and experience to assist Purchaser) that shall constitute a “transition group” who will be available to Purchaser at reasonable times during normal business hours to provide information and assistance in connection with Purchaser’s investigation of matters relating to the Assets, the Assumed Liabilities and transition matters. Such transition group will also work cooperatively to identify and resolve issues arising from any commingling of Records with Seller’s records for its other branches, assets and operations not subject to this Agreement. Seller shall furnish Purchaser with such additional financial and operating data and other information about its business operations at the Branches as may be reasonably necessary for the orderly transfer of the business operations of the Branches, and Purchaser shall be responsible for any documented, out-of-pocket third party costs reasonably incurred by Seller in connection with furnishing such information; provided, however, that nothing herein shall afford Purchaser the right to review any information relating to loans held by Seller not constituting Loans, including information regarding borrowers or any information relating to Seller’s other branches, facilities and operations not subject to this Agreement. Any investigation pursuant to this Section 7.2(a) shall be conducted in such manner as not to unreasonably interfere with the conduct of Seller’s business. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Seller shall not be required to provide access to or disclose information where such access or disclosure would impose an unreasonable burden on Seller, or any employee of Seller, or would violate or prejudice the rights of customers, jeopardize any attorney-client privilege or contravene any law, rule, regulation, order, judgment, decree, fiduciary duty or binding agreement entered into and disclosed to Purchaser prior to the date of this Agreement. Seller and Purchaser shall use reasonable best efforts to make appropriate substitute disclosure arrangements under circumstances in which the restrictions of the preceding sentence apply.

General Confidentiality Each of the Parties will treat and hold as such all of the Confidential Information of the other Parties, refrain from using any of the Confidential Information except in connection with this Agreement, and unless there is a closing on the Exchange, deliver promptly to the owner of such Confidential Information or destroy, at the request and option of the owner of the Confidential Information, all tangible embodiments (and all copies) of the Confidential Information which are in its possession. In the event that any of the Parties is requested or required (by oral question or request for information or documents in any legal proceeding, interrogatory, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, that Party will notify the affected Party promptly of the request or requirement so that the affected Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 7.1. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, any of the Parties is, on the advice of counsel, compelled to disclose any Confidential Information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt, that Party may disclose the Confidential Information to the tribunal; provided, however, that the disclosing Party shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain, at the request of the affected Party, an order or other assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to such portion of the Confidential Information required to be disclosed as the affected Party shall designate. The foregoing provisions shall not apply to any Confidential Information which is generally available to the public immediately prior to the time of disclosure.
Prior Confidentiality Agreement As of the Effective Date, the terms of this Article 13 shall supersede any prior non-disclosure, secrecy or confidentiality agreement between the Parties (or their Affiliates) relating to the subject of this Agreement, including the Confidentiality Agreement. Any information disclosed pursuant to any such prior agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement.
Post-Closing Confidentiality From and after the Closing, the Sellers and Wind Down Co. will, and will cause their respective Affiliates to, hold in strict confidence, and will not use to the detriment of Buyer or any of its Affiliates, all non-public information with respect to the Business, the Acquired Assets or the Assumed Liabilities. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, any Seller or Wind Down Co. may disclose such information (a) if such Seller or Wind Down Co. is compelled to disclose the same by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law (but subject to the following provisions of this Section 5.18), (b) if the same currently is in the public domain or hereafter is in the public domain through no fault of such Seller or Wind Down Co. or any of its Affiliates or (c) if the same is later acquired by such Seller or Wind Down Co. or any of its Affiliates from another source that is not under an obligation to another Person to keep such information confidential, or (d) if necessary in connection with the administration of the Bankruptcy Cases and the wind-down of the Sellers’ estates. If any Seller, Wind Down Co. or any of its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”) becomes legally required (by interrogatories, requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand, rule of civil procedure or other similar process) to disclose any such non-public confidential information, the Disclosing Party shall provide Buyer with prompt written notice of any such requirement so that Buyer may seek, at Buyer’s sole cost and expense, a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 5.18. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by Buyer, the Disclosing Party nonetheless, based on the written advice of outside counsel, is required to disclose such non-public confidential information to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, the Disclosing Party, without liability hereunder, may disclose that portion of such information which such counsel advises the Disclosing Party it is legally required to disclose. Each of the Sellers and or Wind Down Co. acknowledges and agrees that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any breach of its agreements contained in this Section 5.18 and that in addition to any other remedies available to Buyer, Buyer shall be entitled to the remedies of injunction, specific performance and other equitable relief for any threatened or actual breach of this Section 5.18.
Privacy and Confidentiality For purposes of this Section, “Customer Information” means non-public personally identifiable information as defined in the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder, and each party agrees not to use, disclose or distribute to others any such information except as necessary to perform the terms of this Agreement and each party agrees to comply with all applicable provisions of the Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act.
