4. CONFIDENTIALITY.
4.1 Confidential Information. Client acknowledges from time to time he or she will be provided with certain information or services, from the Company, marked as “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION OF THE COMPANY” (“Confidential Information”). In recognition of the foregoing, the Client covenants and agrees:
(a) That it will keep secret all Confidential Information of the Company and not disclose any Confidential Information to anyone outside of the Company, either during or after its engagement with the Company, except with the Company’s prior written consent or as required by law;
(b) That it will not make use of any Confidential Information for its own purposes beyond the Scope of the Services, or the benefit of anyone other than the Company;
(c) That upon termination of the Term of this Agreement, at the Company’s request, or at any time the Company may otherwise request, it will return any Confidential Information to the Company; and
(d) That in the event that any Confidential Information is (i) released by the Client, or (ii) as a consequence of any actions taken or failed to be taken by the Client, such release shall be deemed to be a material breach of the terms of this Agreement unless the Client can show that the release was solely or substantially due to the actions of another party or parties, or that the Confidential Information had passed, at the time of release, into the public domain.
4.2 Enforcement. (a) If the Client commits a breach, or threatens to commit a breach, of any of the provisions of Section 4.1, the Company shall have the following rights and remedies, each of which shall be independent of the others and shall be severally enforceable, and all of such rights and remedies shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of, any other rights and remedies available to the Company under law or in equity: (i) The right and remedy to have such provisions specifically enforced by any court having equity jurisdiction, it being acknowledged and agreed that any such breach or threatened breach will cause irreparable injury to the Company and that money damages will not provide an adequate remedy at law; and in connection therewith the right to obtain, without notice to the Client and without the need to post any bond, a temporary restraining order, an injunction and any other equitable relief. Such right of injunctive relief shall be cumulative and in addition to whatever other remedies the Company may have at law or in equity, including the right of the Company to recover from the Client as set forth in Section 4.2(a)(ii) below; and (ii) The right and remedy to require the Client to account for and pay over to the Company all compensation, profits, monies, accruals, increments or other benefits (collectively “Benefits“) derived or received by him and/or anyone outside of the Company as the result of any transactions constituting a breach of any of the provisions of Section 4.1, and the Client hereby agrees to account for and pay over such Benefits to the Company.
(b) If any one, or any part, of the covenants contained in this Article is held to be unenforceable because of the duration of such provision or the area covered thereby, the parties agree that the court making such determination shall have the power to reduce the duration and/or area of such provision and, in its reduced form, said provision shall then be enforceable.
(c) The parties hereto intend to and hereby confer jurisdiction to enforce the covenants contained in this Article upon the courts of any state within the geographical scope of such covenants. In the event that the courts of any one or more of such states shall hold such covenants wholly unenforceable by reason of the breadth of such scope or otherwise, it is the intention of the parties hereto that such determination not bar or in any way affect in the courts of any other states within the geographical scope of such covenants the Company’s right, to the relief for breaches of such covenants in such other states, the above covenants as they relate to each state being, for this purpose, severable into diverse and independent covenants.
