Respondent shall not provide, disclose or otherwise make available to any of its employees not involved in providing Transitional Services or Sheridan Earnout Review any Non-Public Acquirer Information, nor shall Respondent use any Non-Public Acquirer Information obtained or derived by Respondent in its capacity as provider of assistance pursuant to Paragraph III.H. or through Sheridan Earnout Review, except for the sole purpose of providing assistance pursuant to Paragraph III.H. or engaging in Sheridan Earnout Review. Respondent shall cause each individual involved in providing assistance pursuant to Paragraph III.H. and Sheridan Earnout Review and having access to Non-Public Acquirer Information to sign a statement that the individual will maintain the confidentiality of any Non-Public Acquirer Information as required by the terms and conditions of this Paragraph.

The trustee's compensation shall be based at least in significant part on a commission arrangement contingent on the trustee's divesting the Assets To Be Divested.
