(a)Recipient acknowledges that Recipient will be entrusted with Confidential Information.
(b)During the Confidentiality Period, Recipient: (A) shall hold the Confidential Information in strictest confidence, take all reasonable precautions to prevent the inadvertent disclosure of the Confidential Information to any unauthorized person, and follow all the Company’s policies protecting the Confidential Information; (B) shall not use, copy, divulge or otherwise disseminate or disclose any Confidential Information, or any portion thereof, to any unauthorized person; (C) shall not make, or permit or cause to be made, copies of the Confidential Information, except as necessary to carry out Recipient’s authorized duties for the Company; and (D) shall promptly and fully advise the Company of all facts known to Recipient concerning any actual or threatened unauthorized use or disclosure of which Recipient becomes aware.
(c)Recipient hereby assigns to the Company any rights Recipient may have or acquire in the Confidential Information, and recognizes that the Company shall be the sole owner of all copyrights, trade secret rights, and all other rights throughout the world (collectively, “Proprietary Rights”) in connection with such rights.
(d)If Recipient receives any subpoena or becomes subject to any legal obligation that might require Recipient to disclose Confidential Information, Recipient will provide prompt written notice of that fact to the Company unless otherwise prohibited by applicable law, enclosing a copy of the subpoena and any other documents describing the legal obligation. In the event that the Company objects to the disclosure of Confidential Information, by way of a motion to quash or otherwise, Recipient agrees to not disclose any Confidential Information while any such objection is pending.
(e)Recipient understands that the Company and its affiliates have and will receive from third parties confidential or proprietary information (“Third Party Information”) under a duty to maintain the confidentiality of such Third Party Information and to use it only for limited purposes. During the term of Recipient’s association with the Company and at all times after the termination of such association for any reason, Recipient will hold Third Party Information in strict confidence and will not disclose or use any Third Party Information unless expressly authorized by the Company in advance or as may be strictly necessary to perform Recipient’s obligations with the Company, subject to any agreements binding on the Company with respect to such Third Party Information.
(f)Recipient will not improperly use or disclose any confidential information or trade secrets, if any, of any person to whom Recipient has an obligation of confidentiality.

Additionally, an individual suing an employer for retaliation based on the reporting of a suspected violation of law may disclose a trade secret to his or her attorney and use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, so long as any document containing the trade secret is filed under seal and the individual does not disclose the trade secret except pursuant to court order.
