The primary purpose of the NDA is to facilitate discussions and the exchange of information related to hardware and airtime pricing for Fleet One, FleetBroadband, and Fleet Xpress by ensuring the confidentiality of the shared information. The NDA achieves this by defining "Confidential Information" and establishing obligations for both Parties to keep this information confidential, restrict disclosure, and use it exclusively for the specified Purpose. It also includes provisions for returning or destroying the information upon expiration or termination of the agreement .

The Disclosing Party is responsible for ensuring that the Confidential Information is only disclosed under proper authority and conditions. It must provide any necessary notices regarding export controls and ensure such information is appropriate for the stated Purpose. Moreover, the Disclosing Party must secure any export authorizations needed and communicate restrictions effectively to the Receiving Party, which reflects a proactive role in safeguarding sensitive information and ensuring compliance with applicable laws .

The agreement requires Parties to ensure that access to Confidential Information is restricted to Representatives who are under a written obligation to maintain confidentiality. This includes keeping Confidential Information separate from other records, using it strictly for the Purpose, and adopting at least reasonable care to protect it. These measures are critical to maintaining the overall security of the information, as they ensure representatives are legally bound and aware of the significance of protecting Confidential Information .

After the termination of the agreement, the obligation to maintain confidentiality remains for five years. The Receiving Party must discontinue using and return or destroy all Confidential Information unless it falls under certain exclusions, such as being part of the Board of Directors’ records or retaining it for compliance with laws, regulations, or internal procedures. These exclusions ensure that necessary records for legal or regulatory reasons are maintained while overall confidentiality is safeguarded .

Obligations to return or destroy Confidential Information are waived in cases where retention is necessary to comply with legal, regulatory, or professional records requirements, or when such information is part of documents like board meeting minutes. These scenarios allow for legal and procedural compliance while maintaining confidentiality in other regards, balancing accountability with the necessity of retaining certain records .

The NDA acknowledges that a breach of confidentiality could cause irreparable harm to a Party's business and stipulates that damages may not be an adequate remedy. It entitles the affected Party to seek an injunction to prevent or address the breach, ensuring there's a mechanism to protect the Party's business interests beyond monetary compensation. This provision underscores the seriousness of confidentiality and provides a means for rapid legal recourse .

The NDA stipulates that it does not obligate either Party to enter into any further agreements or discussions beyond the Purpose of the current agreement, nor does it indicate the Company's role in providing goods or services to Inmarsat. This means that while the agreement facilitates current discussions, it does not automatically progress the relationship into future contracts or commitments, allowing both Parties flexibility in their business decisions without presumption of further obligations .

The NDA is governed by English law and stipulates that any disputes or claims arising from the agreement are subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the English courts. This impacts dispute resolution as it requires the parties to litigate any disagreements in England, potentially favoring parties familiar with English legal procedures, and may influence the legal strategies employed by the parties involved .

The agreement explicitly mandates compliance with applicable US, EU, UK, and other international laws concerning the export of goods, technical data, and transfer of information. It requires the Disclosing Party to obtain necessary export authorizations and obliges the Receiving Party not to export controlled information without such authorizations. Moreover, it mandates awareness of applicable export classifications, ensuring both Parties are proactively engaged in adhering to international legal frameworks, thereby reducing risk of non-compliance .

The confidentiality agreement allows for the disclosure of Confidential Information if a Party is legally required to do so by law, a governmental or regulatory authority, or a court of competent jurisdiction. However, it requires that the Receiving Party, to the extent legally permitted, provide the Disclosing Party with as much notice as possible about this disclosure, to allow for any potential protective measures .
