ARTICLE IV

CONFIDENTIALITY

4.1 Trade Secrets and Confidential Information. Each party agrees that it and its Subsidiaries shall (i) maintain in confidence the other party’s Confidential Information, (ii) not use the other party’s Confidential Information (a) except as may be reasonably required in connection with the performance of this Agreement by Dutch Newco or NXP, as the case may be, and (b) except as may be reasonably required after the Closing Date (i) by Dutch Newco in connection with the licensed use of any Retained Technology, or (ii) by NXP in connection with the licensed use of any Transferred Technology, and (iii) disclose such Confidential Information only to those Subsidiaries, agents, contractors, employees and potential or actual manufacturers, customers, licensees and sublicensees who have a need to know the same for the receiving party to exploit the benefits of the licenses granted to it hereunder and who agree in writing not to disclose such Confidential Information to any unauthorized person, consistent with the confidentiality obligations herein. Notwithstanding these restrictions, either party and its Subsidiaries may produce products contemplated under this Agreement that inherently disclose the other party’s Confidential Information, on condition that such party and its Subsidiaries has made commercially reasonable efforts to avoid disclosing the other party’s Confidential Information in the products. The receiving party will protect the disclosing party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as the receiving party protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature and with no less than reasonable care. Each party agrees and acknowledges that violation of these provisions by the receiving party (or third parties receiving Confidential Information from any of them) will cause irreparable harm to the disclosing party and that the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek an injunction or other temporary relief in addition to the disclosing party’s other rights at law or in equity.

4.2 Exceptions. The obligations in Section 4.1 do not apply to any information that (i) is already or, through no fault of the receiving party, becomes publicly available; (ii) rightfully and lawfully comes into the possession of the receiving party from a third party without the imposition of any duty of confidentiality by that third party and who was authorized to make such disclosure; (iii) was independently developed by a party without reference to or use of the Confidential Information of the other party; or (iv) was already lawfully known to the receiving party at the time of disclosure by the disclosing party, except with respect to Confidential Information of a disclosing party that was known to the receiving party prior to the Closing Date due to (i) the ownership of the specific Confidential Information by the receiving party prior to the Closing Date or (ii) the fact the employees of the receiving party were employees of the disclosing party prior to the Closing Date. A party is allowed to disclose Confidential Information if it is required to be disclosed as a matter of Law or pursuant to a legal proceeding or the rules of a recognized stock exchange, on condition that the receiving party promptly notifies the disclosing party of any such requirement, discloses no more information than it believes in good faith based on the advice of counsel is required and cooperates, at the disclosing party’s request and expense, with all reasonable attempts by the disclosing party to contest or limit the scope of the required disclosure and to obtain a protective order or similar confidential treatment.

4.3 Source Code. Each Licensee will use the same degree of care and employ the same procedural safeguards to protect the Licensor’s source code that it uses to protect its own most valuable source code, but in no event less than reasonable care.

4.4 Terms of the Agreement. The parties agree that the terms of this Agreement are considered Confidential Information of both parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to provide a copy of this Agreement in confidence to its Affiliates, advisors, accountants, counsel, any bona fide potential investor, financing source, investment banker, acquirer, merger partner or other potential financial or strategic partner, on condition that the disclosure is (a) on a strictly limited, need-to-know basis, (b) when the disclosing party believes that the transaction is reasonably likely to take place, and (c) on terms applicable to other highly confidential or sensitive information disclosed by that party in connection with the transaction and those terms prohibit disclosure, prohibit use for any purpose other than as required for due diligence in connection with the potential transaction and provide for reasonable care. A party may also disclose this Agreement under seal or equivalent non-public treatment in connection with any litigation or other legal action concerning this Agreement.
