No investigation pursuant to this Section 5.2 shall affect any representation or warranty in this Agreement of any party hereto or any condition to the obligations of the parties hereto. All requests for access pursuant to this Section 5.2 must be directed to the Chief Financial Officer of the Company or another person designated in writing by the Company. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Parent and Merger Sub shall not, and shall cause their respective representatives not to, contact any partner, licensor, licensee, customer or supplier of the Company in connection with the Offer, the Merger or any of the other Merger Transactions without the Company’s prior written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), and Parent and Merger Sub acknowledge and agree that any such contact shall be arranged by and with a representative of the Company participating.
Cooperation; Confidentiality Each party to this Agreement agrees to cooperate with the other party and with all appropriate governmental authorities having the requisite jurisdiction (including, but not limited to, the SEC) in connection with any investigation or inquiry relating to this Agreement or the Fund. Subject to the foregoing, the Sub-Adviser shall treat as confidential all information pertaining to the Fund and actions of the Fund, the Manager and the Sub-Adviser, and the Manager shall treat as confidential and use only in connection with the Series all information furnished to the Fund or the Manager by the Sub-Adviser, in connection with its duties under the Agreement except that the aforesaid information need not be treated as confidential if required to be disclosed under applicable law, if generally available to the public through means other than by disclosure by the Sub-Adviser or the Manager, or if available from a source other than the Manager, Sub-Adviser or the Fund.
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.
Maintenance of Confidentiality Each of Licensor and Licensee and their respective Controlled Related Parties (each a "Restricted Party") shall cause their respective officers and directors (in their capacity as such) to, and shall take all reasonable measures to cause their respective employees, attorneys, accountants, consultants and other agents and advisors (collectively, and together with their respective officers and directors, "Agents") to, keep secret and maintain in confidence the terms of this agreement and all confidential and proprietary information and data of the other party or its Related Parties disclosed to it (in each case, a "Receiving Party") in connection with the performance of its obligations under this agreement (the "Confidential Information") and shall not, and shall cause their respective officers and directors not to, and shall take all reasonable measures to cause their respective other Agents not to, disclose Confidential Information to any Person other than the parties, their Controlled Related Parties and their respective Agents that need to know such Confidential Information. Each party further agrees that it shall not use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than determining and performing its obligations and exercising its rights under this agreement. Each party shall take all reasonable measures necessary to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information by any of their respective Controlled Related Parties or any of their respective Agents. The measures taken by a Restricted Party to protect Confidential Information shall be not deemed unreasonable if the measures taken are at least as strong as the measures taken by the disclosing party to protect such Confidential Information.

Duration of Confidentiality The provisions of this Article XIII shall apply during the term of this Agreement and for two years following termination of this Agreement pursuant to Section 14.1, and shall continue to apply to any Member who withdraws, who is deemed to have withdrawn, or who Transfers its Ownership Interest, for two years following the date of such occurrence.
Noncompetition and Confidentiality (a) The parties recognize that the employment of Executive with the Company has been and will continue to be special, unique and of an extraordinary character, and in connection with such employment Executive has and will continue to acquire special skill and training. The parties also recognize that the covenants of Executive contained in this Section 9 are an essential part of Executive’s engagement by the Company and that, but for the agreement of the Executive to comply with such covenants, the Company would not have entered into this Agreement.
