NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT In connection with a proposed business relationship, Cascade Australia has allowed you access, or may allow you access, to business, technical or other information, materials and/or ideas (“Proprietary Information,” which term shall include, without limitation, anything you learn or discover as a result of exposure to or analysis of any Proprietary Information). In consideration of any disclosure and any negotiations concerning the proposed business relationship, you agree as follows: 1. You will hold in confidence and will not possess or use (except as required to evaluate the proposed business relationship within Australia.) or disclose any Proprietary Information except information you can document (a) is in the public domain through no fault of yours, (b) was properly known to you, without restriction, prior to disclosure by Cascade Australia or (c) was properly disclosed to you by another person without restriction. You will not reverse engineer or attempt to derive the composition or underlying information, structure or ideas of any Proprietary Information. The foregoing does not grant you a license in or to any of the Proprietary Information. 2. If you decide not to proceed with the proposed business relationship or if asked by Cascade Australia, you will promptly return all Proprietary Information and all copies, extracts and other objects or items in which Proprietary Information may be contained or embodied. 3. You will promptly notify Cascade Australia of any unauthorized release, disclosure or use of Proprietary Information. 4. You understand that this Agreement does not obligate Cascade Australia to disclose any information or negotiate or enter into any agreement or relationship. You will strictly abide by any and all instructions and restrictions provided by Cascade Australia from time to time with respect to Proprietary Information or Cascade Australia systems. You will ensure the security of any facilities, machines, accounts, passwords and methods you use to store any Proprietary Information or to access Cascade Australia systems and ensure that no other person has or obtains access thereto. 5. The terms of this Agreement will remain in effect with respect to any particular Proprietary Information until you can document that such Proprietary Information falls into one of the exceptions stated in Paragraph 1 above. 6. You acknowledge and agree that due to the unique nature of the Proprietary Information, any breach of this agreement would cause irreparable harm to Cascade Australia for which damages are not an adequate remedy, and that Cascade Australia shall therefore be entitled to equitable relief in addition to all other remedies available at law. 7. Until one year after the later of (i) the date of this Agreement or (ii) the last disclosure of Proprietary Information to you, you will not encourage or solicit any employee or consultant of Cascade Australia to leave Cascade Australia for any reason. 8. This Agreement is personal to you, is nonassignable by you, is governed by the internal laws of Australia and may be modified or waived only in writing signed by both parties. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable, such provision will be limited or deleted to the minimum extent necessary so that the remaining terms remain in full force and effect. The prevailing party in any dispute or legal action regarding the subject matter of this Agreement shall be entitled to recover attorneys’ fees and costs.
