10. Student agrees to retain all Proprietary Information at their usual place of business and to store all Proprietary Information separate from other information and documents held in the same location.

Remedies

14. Student agrees and acknowledges that the Proprietary Information is of a proprietary and confidential nature and that any failure to maintain the confidentiality of the Proprietary Information in breach of this Agreement, and, in particular, use of the Proprietary Information for Unauthorized Purposes, cannot be reasonably or adequately compensated for in money damages and would cause irreparable injury to ICEAM. Accordingly, Student agrees that ICEAM is entitled to, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to them at law or in equity, an injunction restraining the Recipient and any agents of the Recipient, from directly or indirectly committing or engaging in any act restricted by this Agreement in relation to the Proprietary Information.

Return of Proprietary Information

15. Student will keep track of all Proprietary Information provided to them and the location of such information, whether in written or electronic form. ICEAM may at any time request the return of all Proprietary Information from Student.

a. Return all Proprietary Information to ICEAM and will not retain any copies of this information;

b. Destroy or have destroyed all memoranda, notes, repots, and other works based on or derived from the Student’s review of the Proprietary Information; and

c. Provide a certificate to ICEAM that such materials have been destroyed or returned, as the case may be.

Notices

16. In the event that Student is required in a civil, criminal or regulatory proceeding to disclose any part of the Proprietary Information, Student will give to ICEAM prompt written notice of such request so that ICEAM may seek an appropriate remedy or alternatively to waive Student’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement in regards to the request.

17. If Student loses or fails to maintain the confidentiality of any of the Proprietary Information in breach of this Agreement, Student will immediately notify ICEAM and take all reasonable steps necessary to retrieve the lost or improperly disclosed Proprietary Information.
