In connection with hosting the Event to market Agifall’s product and services to attendees in order to induce attendees to enter into a possible business relationship or other consensual transaction with Agifall (the “Purpose”), Agifall may disclose to attendees Confidential Information.

Confidential Information also includes: the facts that the parties are in discussions regarding the Purpose (or, without limitation, any termination of such discussions) and that Confidential Information has been disclosed; and any terms, conditions or arrangements discussed.
As a condition to, and in consideration of, the attending the Event, it is hereby agreed as follows:
1. Attendee may use the contact information of other attendees at the Event for its own business purpose that does not compete with the products and service offering of Agifall, provided that attendee does not duplicate or distribute the contact information of other attendees (“Networking Use”). Attendee agrees that it and its representatives and affiliates shall (a) use the Confidential Information exclusively for the Purpose of evaluating a potential relationship or transaction with Agifall, and, if Agifall is engaged by attendee, in the performance of the products and/or services requested of attendee by Agifall within the scope of such engagement (the “Permitted Use”), and not for any other purpose except for the Networking Use provided herein, (b) keep the Confidential Information confidential, and (c) not disclose to any person or entity, copy, reproduce, distribute or appropriate for attendee’s benefit or for the benefit of any person or entity (other than Agifall), any of the Confidential Information without the prior written consent of Agifall; provided that attendee may disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law (in which case such attendee shall give Agifall written notice of any such requirement prior to such disclosure so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy) and to those of such attendee’s representatives and affiliates who need to know such information exclusively for the Permitted Use; provided, further, that each such representative or affiliate is informed that such information is strictly confidential and subject to this Agreement and is directed to comply with the terms of this Agreement. Each attendee agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of its representatives and affiliates.
2. All Confidential Information in an attendee’s possession or control, including without limitation all copies and reproductions thereof, shall be returned to Agifall or destroyed promptly upon Agifall’s written request at any time; provided, however, that Confidential Information may be retained to the extent required by law, rule or regulation or applicable existing and bona fide document retention policy; provided, further, that any such retained Confidential Information shall continue to be subject to this Agreement.
3. Attendee acknowledges that Agifall retains its entire right, title, and interest in and to all Confidential Information, and no disclosure of Confidential Information hereunder will be construed as a license, assignment, or other transfer of any such right, title, and interest to attendee or any other person.
4. Attendee acknowledges that Agifall has no obligation under this Agreement to (a) disclose any Confidential Information or (b) negotiate for, enter into, or otherwise pursue the Purpose. Agifall provides all Confidential Information without any representation or warranty, expressed or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness thereof, and Agifall will have no liability to attendee or any other person relating to attendee's use of any of the Confidential Information or any errors therein or omissions therefrom.
5. Attendee represents and warrants that it is not engaged in the business of or working to the benefit of a mergers and acquisition intermediary including, but not limited to a business brokerage, an investment bank and mergers and acquisitions advisory organization.
6. Attendee agrees that unless it obtains the prior written consent of Agifall, neither attendee nor any of its representatives or affiliates (each, a "Restricted Person") shall directly or indirectly, for itself or on behalf of another person or entity, induce, influence, or encourage, any client, customer, supplier, or other similar third party of Agifall or any of its representatives, strategic partners or affiliates that became known to the Restricted Person directly or indirectly pursuant to any Confidential Information or any discussions or communications relating to the Event, the Purpose or the evaluation or negotiation of the possible transaction or relationship between attendee and Agifall (each, a "Customer” or “Supplier") to alter, terminate, or breach its contractual or other business relationship with Agifall or any of its representatives, strategic partners or affiliates or, solicit business from any Customer or Supplier. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing in this section restricts any Restricted Person from soliciting business from or engaging in business with any Customer or Supplier in the normal course of business, so long as the Restricted Person does not use any Confidential Information to identify such Customer or Supplier or to communicate or negotiate with such Customer or Supplier.
Attendee agrees that the duration, scope, and geographical area of the restrictions contained in this section are reasonable. Upon a determination that any term or provision of this section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the court may modify this section to substitute the maximum duration, scope, or geographical area legally permissible under such circumstances to the greatest extent possible to effect the restrictions originally contemplated by the Parties hereto.
7. Attendee acknowledges and agrees that any breach of this Agreement will cause irreparable harm and injury to Agifall for which money damages would be an inadequate remedy and that, in addition to remedies at law, Agifall is entitled to equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach or threatened breach.
8. The rights and obligations of the parties related to the Confidential Information of this Agreement expire two years after the Effective Date; provided that with respect to Confidential Information that is a trade secret under the laws of any jurisdiction, such rights and obligations will survive such expiration until, if ever, such Confidential Information loses its trade secret protection other than due to an act or omission of Recipient or its Representatives.
