The Receiving Party may disclose the Proprietary Information or portions thereof to those of its employees and agents (collectively, ‘Representatives”) who (a) need to know such information for the Permitted Purpose and (b) have agreed to be bound by the terms of this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for ensuring that its Representatives shall keep such information confidential and shall not disclose or divulge the same to any unauthorized person or entity, and shall assume full responsibility for any breach of said undertaking.

4.3 -- For the purpose of protecting Proprietary Information received from the Disclosing Party hereunder, the Receiving Party will use all reasonable efforts to protect the confidentiality thereof, including, without limitation, efforts commensurate with those it employs for the protection of its own confidential and proprietary information.

4.4 -- A Receiving Party’s obligations hereunder shall not apply to any portion of a Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information: (a) of which the Receiving Party presently has knowledge or which is in the Receiving Party’s possession on the date hereof and of which it did not learn through its contact with the Disclosing Party previous to the date hereof; (b) which is presently publicly available or a matter of public knowledge generally or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party; (c) which is lawfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party that is not under a non-disclosure obligation to the Disclosing Party; or (d) disclosure of which is necessary to comply with law or the valid order or requirement of a governmental agency or court of competent jurisdiction. If a Receiving Party or any of its Representatives is requested or required by deposition, interrogatory, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil or criminal investigative demand or similar process including regulatory inquiries, or otherwise to disclose any Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party with such obligation (“Obligated Party”) will notify the Disclosing Party promptly so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained the Obligated Party may disclose to the requesting tribunal or other person only that portion of the Proprietary Information of the Disclosing Party which the Obligated Party is legally required to disclose, and the Obligated Party shall notify the Disclosing Party not later than the time of such disclosure of the nature and extent of such disclosure.

4.5 -- Proprietary Information that is included in public filings made to governmental organizations shall not be subject to this Section 4 and will be considered to be in the public domain, unless such Proprietary Information was submitted under cover of a request for confidential treatment or is the subject of an agreement, protective order or other legal instrument granting such confidential treatment.

4.6 – Proprietary device information submitted by an Applicant to Test Laboratory for certification, and related communications, files and records, will be considered confidential and protected from disclosure by Test Laboratory in a manner consistent with this Section 4.

4.7 -- Each Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that (a) a Disclosing Party shall not have an adequate remedy in the event that the Receiving Party breaches this Agreement and that a Disclosing Party will suffer irreparable damage and injury in such event; and (b) a Disclosing Party, in addition to any other available rights and remedies, shall be entitled to an injunction restricting the Receiving Party from committing or continuing any violation of this Agreement.

4.8 -- Upon termination of this Agreement or for any reason whatsoever, and in any event upon the request of the Disclosing Party at any time, the Receiving Party will, promptly upon written request by the Disclosing Party, deliver to the Disclosing Party all of its Proprietary Information furnished to the Receiving Party which is in written or electronically-readable form, including all copies or extracts thereof or based thereon in its possession or in the possession of any of its Representatives.

14.2 – This Agreement and its rights, duties, and obligations may not be assigned or transferred by either party. Test Laboratory may delegate the performance of all or a portion of any testing to an affiliate of Test Laboratory or, upon Applicant’s and OmniAir’s prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed, to an agent or subcontractor of Test Laboratory; provided, however, that any such delegation shall not relieve Test Laboratory of its obligations under this Agreement.

14.3 – This Agreement sets forth the entire understanding of the parties as to its subject matter and may not be modified except by further written agreement signed by both parties.
