The term “Confidential Information” shall mean all financial, technical and other information pertaining to the business, plan, or operations of Company or as otherwise designated as Confidential Information by the Company at the time it is disclosed to Director pursuant to subparagraph 2(b) below, including all copies thereof (including, without limitation, all non-identical copies, regardless of origin or location), including but not limited to algorithms, books, brochures, pamphlets, memoranda (including those of telephone or oral conversations), letters, electronic mail, reports, charts, graphs, notes, telegrams, and records, photographic imaging, computer tapes and discs, and video and audio tapes, agreements, files, books, logs, charts, records, studies, reports, surveys, schedules, plans, maps, statistical information, and models which may be furnished or disclosed to Director by, or acquired by Director directly or indirectly from, the Company. Such term shall also include all memoranda, notes, reports, documents and other media containing Confidential Information, as well as any copies and extracts of Confidential Information and any computer-generated documents and data containing Confidential Information prepared by or for the benefit of Director.

b. Information considered to be Confidential Information by the Company may be disclosed orally or in writing. Oral disclosures of Confidential Information shall be orally noted, at the time of disclosure, to comprise Confidential Information. Written disclosures of Confidential Information or summaries of Confidential Information need not be marked “Confidential” or “Secret” or contain terms of similar import in order to be deemed Confidential Information hereunder. All communications at all meetings of the Board, or any committee thereof, and all records of said communications shall be deemed Confidential Information.

For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not include, and the obligations herein shall not apply to, information that: (a) is now or subsequently becomes generally available to the public through no fault of Director; (b) Director can demonstrate, by clear and convincing evidence, was rightfully in his or her possession prior to disclosure to Director by Company; (c) Director rightfully obtains from a third party without restriction and without breach of this Agreement; (d) is released or approved for release by Company without restriction; or (e) is inherently disclosed in the use, lease, sale, or other distribution of any present or future product or service produced by, for, or under authorization of Company or in publicly available supporting documentation for any such product or service.

4. Director’s Obligations.

a. Fiduciary Duties. Director acknowledges and agrees that he is subject to obligations to the Company as a member of the Board including a duty of loyalty which requires that Director exercise his powers in the interests of the Company, and not in the Directors’ own interest or in the interest of another person (e.g., family members). Director’s duty of loyalty also incorporates a duty to maintain the confidentiality of all matters involving the Company until such time as there has been a general public disclosure.

b. General Standard of Care. Director agrees, represents, and warrants to use reasonable care, but in all events at least the same degree of care that he or she uses to protect his or her own confidential and proprietary information of similar importance, to prevent the unauthorized use, disclosure, or availability of Confidential Information of the Company. Director agrees to be responsible and liable for any negligent or willful act or omission by Director resulting in an unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.

c. Specific Obligations of Director. Director agrees, represents, and warrants to take precautions to avoid any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. Such precautions shall include but not be limited to: (i) securing writings, documents, electronic communications and other media containing such Confidential Information in a safe or locked file cabinet or the equivalent; (ii) limiting Director’s copying of media or materials which contain Confidential Information to only those copies reasonably necessary under the standard of Paragraph 5 of this Agreement; (iii) preventing his own distribution of such media or materials unless specifically authorized by Company to do so; (iv) maintaining a log of all persons, if applicable, who are given access to Confidential Information by Director after receiving the Company’s authorization to do so; and (v) maintaining a written agreement with each person, if applicable, who Director may give access to such Confidential Information sufficient to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

d. Acknowledgement. Director acknowledges and agrees that the confidentiality obligations contained in paragraph 4b and 4c above are in addition to, and not in substitution for, Director’s fiduciary obligations as a director of the Company described in paragraph 4a above. Any remedies specifically provided for in this Agreement for breach of Director’s obligations under paragraph 4b and 4c shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity for breach of Director’s fiduciary obligations to the Company and any other provision of this Agreement.

e. Notice. Director shall advise the Company immediately in writing in the event he or she learns or has reason to believe any person to whom he or she has allowed access to the Confidential Information has violated, or intends to violate, any provision of this Agreement.

5. Limitations on Use and Disclosure.

a. Authorized Use. Director may use the Confidential Information only in connection with and for purposes of his acting as a member of the Board and as the Company, its officers and directors may direct.

b. Authorized Disclosure. Director may disclose the Confidential Information only to persons, if applicable, who (i) have a “need to know” such Confidential Information in order to enable Director to use such Confidential Information for purposes in support of the Company’s products or services, and (ii) are legally bound to use and disclose such Confidential Information in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Director may make a reasonable number of copies of materials or media containing such information as appropriate to accomplish the purpose agreed to by the Company. Director shall notify the Company in writing of any disclosures made pursuant to this paragraph.

c. Compelled Disclosure. Director may, in addition, use or disclose Confidential Information if and to the extent: (i) required by any request or order of any government authority; (ii) otherwise required by law; or (iii) necessary to establish his or her rights under this Agreement; provided, however, that in each case, Director will first notify Company of such requirement, permit Company to contest such requirement if reasonably appropriate, and cooperate with Company in limiting the scope of the proposed use or disclosure and/or obtaining appropriate further means for protecting the confidentiality of the Confidential Information.

6. Return of Confidential Information.

a. Upon the Company’s request, at any time, Director will either return or, if requested by the Company, destroy all copies of any media or materials containing Confidential Information. Upon the Company’s request, Director agrees to certify that it has completed such requested action.

b. Director’s obligations under Sections 5 and 6 shall survive termination of Director’s elected term and/or term of employment, or both, for any reason or the return of Confidential Information which is the subject of this Agreement.

7. Remedies for Non-Compliance. It is agreed that the unauthorized use or disclosure of any Confidential Information by Director in violation of this Agreement or failure to disclose, hold in trust, and assign to the Company all Director’s right, title, and interest in and to any and all Inventions, as defined in Section 8a will cause severe and irreparable injury to the Company for which there is no adequate remedy at law and that it may not be possible to measure damages for such injury with reasonable certainty. In the event of any violation of this Agreement, Director agrees that the Company shall be authorized and entitled to obtain from any court of competent jurisdiction preliminary and/or permanent injunctive relief, as well as any other relief permitted by applicable law, restraining Director from engaging in activities prohibited by this Agreement. Director agrees to waive any requirement that the Company post bond as a condition for obtaining any such relief. Director shall notify the Company immediately, and cooperate with the Company at the Company’s reasonable request, upon Director’s discovery of any loss or compromise of the Company’s Confidential Information. The Parties expressly agree that it shall not be a defense in such an injunction action that the Company had previously breached this Agreement.

8. Assignment of Inventions.

a. Director agrees that Director has and will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assigns to the Company, or its designee, all Director’s right, title, and interest in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, improvements, designs, discoveries, ideas, trademarks or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which Director has or may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, and any patentable improvements thereto which Director may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, in his capacity as a director of the Company and during or in consequence of his performance of his duties as a director of the Company (collectively referred to as “Inventions”). Director further acknowledges that all original works of authorship which are made by Director (solely or jointly with others) in his capacity as a director of the Company and during or in consequence of his performance of his duties as a director of the Company and which are protectible by copyright are “works made for hire,” as that term is defined in the United States Copyright Act. Director understands and agrees that the decision whether or not to commercialize or market any Invention developed by Director solely or jointly with others is within the Company’s sole discretion and for the Company’s sole benefit and that no royalty will be due to Director as a result of the Company’s efforts to commercialize or market any such Invention.

b. Notwithstanding any provision of clause (a) of Section 8 hereof to the contrary, the Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that “Inventions” (as used in such clause (a)) shall not apply to, and Company shall have no right (ownership or otherwise) in or to, any invention which is developed by Director on his/her own time without using any trade secret or other intellectual property information, right or property of the Company unless the invention relates, at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention, directly to the business of Company, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the Company.

c. Director’s obligations under this Section 8 shall survive the expiration or termination of Director’s term of election or employment by the Company for any reason.
