5.6 Information Waiver. The Company acknowledges that the Investors and their Affiliates, members, equity holders, director representatives, partners, employees, agents and other related persons are engaged in the business of investing in private and public companies in a wide range of industries, including the industry segment in which the Company operates (the “Company Industry Segment”). Accordingly, the Company and the Investors acknowledge and agree that a Covered Person (as such term is defined in the Restated Certificate) shall:
(a) have no duty to the Company to refrain from participating as a director, investor or otherwise with respect to any company or other person or entity that is engaged in the Company Industry Segment or is otherwise competitive with the Company as long as such Covered Person does not disclose or otherwise make use of any proprietary or confidential information of the Company in connection with such participation, and
(b) solely in connection with making investment decisions and subject to the limitations set forth herein, have no duty to the Company to refrain from using any information, including, but not limited to, market trend and market data, which comes into such Covered Person’s possession, whether as a director, investor or otherwise (the “Information Waiver”), provided that the Information Waiver shall not apply, and therefore such Covered Person shall be subject to such obligations and duties as would otherwise apply to such Covered Person under applicable law, if the information at issue (i) constitutes material non-public information concerning the Company, (ii) constitutes confidential information (unless covered by an enforceable confidentiality agreement, in a form reasonably acceptable to the Company), (iii) constitutes highly sensitive competitive information, or (iv) is covered by a contractual obligation of confidentiality to which the Company is subject.
Notwithstanding anything in this Subsection 5.6 to the contrary, nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver of any Covered Person’s fiduciary duty, duty of loyalty, or obligation of confidentiality with respect to the “disclosure” of confidential information of the Company.
5.7 FCPA. The Company shall not, and shall not permit any of its subsidiaries or Affiliates or any of its or their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, independent contractors, representatives or agents to, promise, authorize or make any payment to, or otherwise contribute any item of value to, directly or indirectly, any third party, including any “foreign official,” in each case, in violation of the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, as amended, and the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder (the “FCPA”), the U.K. Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law. Further, the Company shall, and shall cause each of its subsidiaries and Affiliates to, (a) cease all of its or their respective activities, as well as remediate any actions taken by the Company, its subsidiaries or Affiliates, or any of their respective directors, officers, managers, employees, independent contractors, representatives or agents in violation of the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law, and (b) maintain systems of internal controls (including, but not limited to, accounting systems, purchasing systems and billing systems) to ensure compliance with the FCPA, the U.K. Bribery Act, or any other applicable anti-bribery or anti-corruption law.
5.8 Prohibited Banking Relationships. The Company shall not enter into any banking or nonbanking transaction with Green Dot Corporation or any of its subsidiaries (including, without limitation, Next Estate Communications and Bonneville Bancorp) without the prior written consent of the Business Partner, which consent may be withheld or conditioned in the Business Partner’s sole discretion.
5.9 Indemnification Matters. The Company hereby acknowledges that the Preferred Directors may have certain rights to indemnification, advancement of expenses and/or insurance provided by one or more of the Investors and certain of their Affiliates, and as set forth in an Indemnification Agreement between the Company and the Preferred Directors, and the Company agrees that it (i) is the indemnitor of first resort (i.e., its obligations to the Preferred Directors under such Indemnification Agreement are primary, and any duplicative, overlapping or corresponding obligations of the Investors are secondary), (ii) shall be required to make all advances and other payments under the Indemnification Agreement, and shall be fully liable therefor, without regard to any rights the Preferred Directors may have against the Investors, and (iii) irrevocably waives, relinquishes and releases the Investors from any and all claims against the Investors for contribution, subrogation or any other recovery of any kind in respect thereof.
