c. Consultant Confidential Information. By virtue of this Agreement, the Customer will have <br />access to confidential information and materials of the Consultant that are provided to the <br />Customer after the execution of this Agreement and so designated in writing (collectively, the <br />“Consultant Confidential Information”). Consultant Confidential Information does not include <br />information that (i) is already in the Customer’s possession at the time of disclosure by the <br />Consultant, (ii) is or becomes part of public knowledge other than as a result of any action or <br />inaction of the Customer, (iii) is obtained by the Customer from an unrelated third party <br />without a duty of confidentiality, or (iv) is independently developed by the Customer. The <br />Customer shall not use Consultant Confidential Information for any purpose other than in <br />furtherance of this Agreement and the activities described herein. The Customer shall not <br />disclose Consultant Confidential Information to any third parties except as otherwise <br />permitted hereunder. The Customer shall maintain Consultant Confidential Information with <br />at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own proprietary information of a similar <br />nature or sensitivity, but no less than reasonable care under the circumstances. The <br />Customer shall promptly advise the Consultant in writing of any misappropriation or misuse <br />of Consultant Confidential Information of which the Customer becomes aware. <br /> <br />d. Exclusions. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement shall not prevent the Consultant <br />from disclosing Customer Confidential Information or the Customer from disclosing <br />Consultant Confidential Information to the extent required by a judicial order or other legal <br />obligation; provided, however, that, in such event, the Party from which disclosure is sought <br />shall promptly notify the other Party to allow intervention (and shall cooperate with the Party <br />from which disclosure is sought) to contest or minimize the scope of the disclosure (including <br />application for a protective order). Further, Each Party may disclose the terms and conditions <br />of this Agreement (i) in confidence, to legal counsel, (ii) in confidence, to accountants, and (iii) <br />in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or any rights hereunder. <br /> <br />e. Equitable Relief. The Consultant acknowledges that unauthorized use or disclosure of <br />Customer Confidential Information could cause the Customer irreparable harm for which its <br />remedies at law would be inadequate, and, similarly, the Customer acknowledges that <br />unauthorized use or disclosure of Consultant Confidential Information could cause the <br />Consultant irreparable harm for which its remedies at law would be inadequate. Accordingly, <br />each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party will be entitled, in addition to any <br />other remedies available to it at law or in equity, to the issuance of injunctive relief enjoining <br />any breach or threatened breach of its obligations hereunder. <br /> <br />6. Warranties. <br /> <br />a. Authority. The Consultant represents, warrants and covenants to the Customer that the <br />Consultant has the full power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to perform its <br />obligations hereunder, without the need for any consents, approvals or immunities not yet <br />obtained. <br /> <br />b. No Implied Warranties. The Customer agrees that (i) the Consultant is not the manufacturer <br />or distributor of any of the products or services subject to the Services (collectively, the <br />“Third-Party Products”), (ii) the warranties and representations, if any, applicable to any of <br />the Third-Party Products (including, without limitation, their respective specifications) are <br />those of the manufacturer or distributor thereof and not the Consultant, and (iii) the <br />Page 4 of 19 <br />6 <br />Docusign Envelope ID: A0400265-F3F7-4308-BB98-2C447EA2C29C
