   • The parties may disclose the Confidential Information only to those of the parties' shareholders, officers, employees, and professional advisers who have a need-to-know. Such disclosure may be made only to the extent necessary and the parties agree to instruct all such persons not to disclose such Confidential Information to any other persons without the prior written permission of the party providing the Confidential Information.
   • All information that the parties receive shall be presumed to be Confidential Information; however, Confidential Information shall not be deemed to include information (i) that was known to the parties on a non-confidential basis prior to the date this Agreement is signed and Confidential Information is disclosed by the parties; or (ii) which is or becomes known to the general public without a breach or fault on the part of the parties; or (iii) is discovered or created by one of the parties before disclosure by the other party; or (iv) learned by a party through legitimate means other than from the other party or the other party's representatives.

2. Injunctive Relief. The parties agree that it would be difficult to measure the damage from any breach of the covenants set forth herein, that injury to the parties from any such breach would be impossible to calculate, and that money damages alone would would therefore be an inadequate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, the parties agree that if a party should violate any term of this Agreement, the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or other appropriate order to restrain any such breach without showing or proving any actual damage. Such injunctive relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other right or remedy available to the parties under this Agreement, at law or in equity.
