3. Destruction/Return of Confidential Information
Recipient, upon the request of Discloser, will either (a) promptly destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in Recipient’s and/or any Representative’s possession, including but not limited to written summaries of any oral analyses, compilations, studies, or other documents prepared by the Recipient or any Representative in connection with the Transaction or provided by Discloser, and confirm such destruction to Discloser in writing, or (b) promptly deliver to Discloser, at Recipient’s own expense, all copies of such written Confidential Information in Recipient’s and/or any Representative’s possession; provided that nothing herein shall require Recipient to produce particular documents or information that constitute attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product (however, Discloser expressly retains the right to challenge any designation of attorney-client privilege or attorney work-product).

4. Legal Disclosure
In the event that Recipient or its Representatives are requested pursuant to, or required by, applicable law, regulation or legal process to disclose any of the Confidential Information, Recipient will promptly notify Discloser, in writing, so that Discloser may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy or, in Discloser’s sole discretion, waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Recipient will cooperate in Discloser’s efforts to obtain a protective order or other reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be given to the Confidential Information and the existence of the Transaction or discussions between the Parties relating to the Transaction. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, or that Discloser does not waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Recipient will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which Recipient has a duty as a matter of law to disclose, such determination to be made in good faith reliance on the written advice and direction of Recipient’s legal counsel.
5. Remedies
In the event of a breach or threatened breach by Recipient of the provisions of this Agreement, Recipient agrees that the remedy at law available to Discloser would be inadequate and that Discloser shall be entitled to seek an injunction, without the necessity of posting bond therefore, restraining Recipient from disclosing, in whole or in part, such Confidential Information. Nothing herein shall be construed as prohibiting Discloser from pursuing any other remedies, at law or in equity, in addition to the injunctive relief available under this Agreement, for such breach or threatened breach, including the recovery of consequential and punitive damages from Recipient. In addition, in the event of any violation of this Agreement by Recipient or its Representatives, Recipient shall reimburse the Discloser and its affiliates for all costs and expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in order to enforce the provisions of this Agreement or exercise any remedies for a violation thereof.
6. Waiver
Recipient agrees that no failure or delay by Discloser in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or further exercise thereof of the exercise of any right power or privilege hereunder.
7. Binding Agreement and Assignment
This Agreement shall be binding upon Recipient, its Representatives, its personal representatives, successors and assigns, and shall run to the benefit of Discloser and its affiliates, successors and assigns. This Agreement is not assignable by Recipient, and any attempted assignment by Recipient shall constitute a material breach by such party.
8. Severability
If any portion of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, it is agreed that said invalidity or unenforceability shall not affect the other portions of this Agreement and that the remaining covenants, terms and conditions or valid portions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and any court of competent jurisdiction may so modify the objectionable provision as to make it valid, reasonable and enforceable.
9. Notice
Any notice or communication required or permitted to be given by any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been effectively given and received on the date personally delivered to the party to whom it is directed or when deposited by registered or certified mail, with postage prepaid, and addressed as set forth on the signature page hereof. Either party may change its notice address by delivering a written change of address to the other party in the manner set forth in this paragraph.
10. Agency Disclosure
Broker as Single Agent or Transaction Agent. Broker has been retained by owner of the Property in the capacity of:
☐ Single Agent for Owner/Seller ⌧; Transaction Broker
For purposes of this agreement, a “Single Agent” means a broker who represents, as a fiduciary, either the purchaser (or lessee, as appropriate) or seller (or lessor, as appropriate) but not both in the same transaction.
For purposes of this agreement, a “Transaction Broker” means a broker who provides limited representation to a purchaser (or lessee, as appropriate), and seller (or lessor, as appropriate), or both, in a real estate transaction, but does not represent either in a fiduciary capacity or as a single agent. In a transaction broker relationship, a purchaser (or lessee, as appropriate) or seller (or lessor, as appropriate) is not responsible for the acts of a licensee. Additionally, the parties to a real estate transaction are giving up their rights to the undivided loyalty of a licensee. This aspect of limited representation allows a licensee to facilitate a real estate transaction by assisting both the purchaser and the seller, but a licensee will not work to represent one party to the detriment of the other party when acting as a transaction broker to both parties.
11. Applicable Law
This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws thereof. Any action to enforce or construe the terms of this Agreement shall be brought in a state or federal court of competent jurisdiction in Florida.
12. Entire Agreement
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties hereto with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes and is in full substitution of any and all prior agreements and understandings whether written or oral between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. No modification, amendments or waiver of the terms and conditions hereof shall be binding upon Discloser, unless approved in writing by Discloser.
This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original, but all of which shall constitute one agreement. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile and PDF copy signature or other electronic means, which shall be accepted as if they were original execution signatures.
