This includes, but is not limited to, use or disclosure of any BMS Confidential Information, Proprietary Information, or Trade Secrets to third parties. Confidential Information, Proprietary Information, and Trade Secrets include, but are not limited to, any information gained in the course of your employment with BMS that is marked as confidential or could reasonably be expected to harm BMS if disclosed to third parties, including without limitation, any information that could reasonably be expected to aid a competitor or potential competitor in making inferences regarding the nature of BMS’s business activities, where such inferences could reasonably be expected to allow such competitor to compete more effectively with BMS. You agree that you will not remove or disclose BMS Confidential Information, Proprietary Information or Trade Secrets. Unauthorized removal includes forwarding or downloading confidential information to personal email or other electronic media and/or copying the information to personal unencrypted thumb drives, cloud storage or drop box. Immediately upon termination of your employment for any reason, you will return to BMS all of BMS’s confidential and other business materials that you have or that are in your possession or control and all copies thereof, including all tangible embodiments thereof, whether in hard copy or electronic format and you shall not retain any versions thereof on any personal computer or any other media (e.g., flash drives, thumb drives, external hard drives and the like). In addition, you will thoroughly search personal electronic devices, drives, cloud-based storage, email, cell phones, and social media to ensure that all BMS information has been deleted. In the event that you commingle personal and BMS confidential information on these devices or storage media, you hereby consent to the removal and permanent deletion of all information on these devices and media. Nothing in this paragraph or Agreement limits or prohibits your right to report potential violations of law, rules, or regulations to, or communicate with, cooperate with, testify before, or otherwise assist in an investigation or proceeding by, any government agency or entity, or engage in any other conduct that is required or protected by law or regulation, and you are not required to obtain the prior authorization of BMS to do so and are not required to notify BMS that you have done so.

Confidentiality Obligations. As condition of your employment, you must sign and abide by the Company’s standard form of Confidential Information and Inventions Assignment Agreement, a copy of which is attached hereto as [Exhibit A].

Confidentiality Obligations. The Receiving Party agrees to treat all Confidential Information as the confidential and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party, and agrees not to disclose any of the Confidential Information to any third-party without first obtaining the written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party agrees to limit access to Confidential Information to those of its directors, officers, employees, agents or other third-party who have a need to know such information and who have been informed of and are obligated in writing to maintain the confidential nature of such Confidential Information as set forth herein and not use it other than as permitted in this Agreement. In particular, and subject to the conditions of the preceding sentence, the Receiving Party may disclose intellectual property licensed to it herein to implement this Agreement and the rights and licenses granted hereunder. The provisions of this paragraph will survive for a period of ​ after the termination or expiration of this Agreement; provided, however, with respect to any trade secrets disclosed hereunder, the provisions of this paragraph will survive while the status of the trade secret remains. The Receiving Party will ensure that Confidential Information will not be used by its directors, officers, employees or agents for any other purpose other than as set forth herein. The above provisions of confidentiality will not apply to that part of Confidential Information, which the Receiving Party can demonstrate by documentary evidence:

Confidentiality Obligations. Each Party acknowledges that it may receive or gain access to the other Party’s Confidential Information during the Collaboration. Except as provided in Section 8.2 or otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, each Party, as the receiving Party of the other Party’s Confidential Information, shall, during the Term # use at least the same standard of care to protect and safeguard the confidentiality of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as the receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential Information (but no less than reasonable care); and # not use or disclose, nor permit to be used or accessed, the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than to exercise the receiving Party’s rights or perform its obligations under this Agreement.

Confidentiality Obligations. At all times during the Term and for a period of […​…] following termination or expiration hereof in its entirety, each Party shall, and shall cause its Affiliates, or any of its or their respective officers, directors, employees and agents to, keep confidential and not publish or otherwise disclose to a Third Party and not use, directly or indirectly, for any purpose, any Confidential Information furnished or otherwise made known to it, directly or indirectly, by the other Party, except to the extent such disclosure or use is expressly permitted by the terms of this Agreement or is reasonably necessary or useful for the performance of, or the exercise of such Party’s rights under, this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, to the extent the receiving Party can demonstrate by documentation or other competent proof, the confidentiality and non-use obligations under this Section 9.2 with respect to any Confidential Information shall not include any Information that:

The Parties acknowledge that any oral or written information exchanged by them in respect of this Agreement shall be confidential information. Each of the Parties shall keep all of such information confidential and shall not disclose any relevant information to any third party without the other Parties written consents, except for: # the information that has been known by the public (not through the disclosure by the receiving Party of such information); or # the information that is required to be disclosed pursuant to applicable laws or rules or regulations of any stock exchange; or # the information that is required to be disclosed by any Party to its legal counsel or financial advisor in respect of the transaction under this Agreement, which legal counsel or financial advisor shall be bound by the confidentiality obligations similar to the obligations in this Clause. Any disclosure of any confidential information made by the staff members or agencies hired by any Party shall be deemed as the disclosure of such confidential information made by such Party, and such Party shall assume legal liabilities for breach of this Agreement. This Clause shall survive the termination of this Agreement regardless of the reason causing such termination.

Continuation of Confidentiality Obligations. The Consultant acknowledges and agrees that the obligations set out in this Section survive the termination of this Agreement for any reason. The Consultant further acknowledges that the obligations set out in this Section are not in substitution for any obligations which the Consultant may now or hereafter owe to the Company and which exist apart from this Agreement and do not replace any rights of the Company with respect to any such obligations.

In carrying out its obligations under this Agreement, each Party will be sharing confidential and proprietary data and information (“Confidential Information”) with the other Party. Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, each Party shall, and shall cause its Subsidiaries to, treat Confidential Information received or deemed to be received from the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) or its Subsidiaries as it treats its own proprietary information of like nature and importance. During the Term and for a period of five (5) years thereafter (indefinitely with respect to trade secrets), the Party in receipt of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) shall not disclose, divulge or otherwise communicate such Confidential Information to any Person, or use it for any purpose except pursuant to and in order to carry out its obligations and exercise its rights under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party’s directors, officers, employees, Subsidiaries, consultants, subcontractors, sublicensees or agents and in TRIS’ case to its Affiliates to the extent reasonably necessary to carry out its obligations and exercise its right under this Agreement, provided that such directors, officers, employees, Subsidiaries, consultants, subcontractors, sublicensees or agents or in TRIS’ case its Affiliates have been advised of the confidential nature of such information and have agreed to maintain such information as confidential to the same extent required by this Article 10.

Confidentiality of this Agreement. The terms of this Agreement may not be revealed by the Parties to any third party (except to each of the Parties’ agent(s), attorney(s), accountant(s) and manager(s), each of whom will observe confidentiality, or if legally required to do so by statute, regulation, judicial or governmental order or by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process in a judicial or governmental proceeding or in connection with legal action or arbitration to enforce this Agreement).

Termination of Confidentiality Agreement. Effective upon the date hereof, the Confidential Disclosure Agreement, dated December 19, 2022 (the “Confidentiality Agreement”), between Buyer and Seller shall terminate and be of no further force or effect, and shall be superseded by the provisions of this ‎Section 6.1.
