Chaouch agrees not to disclose the contents of the provisions of this Agreement, its terms or conditions or the circumstances that resulted in or followed Chaouch's separation from employment, to any party, excluding immediate family, except as required by law or as is reasonably necessary for purposes of securing counsel from his attorney, accountant or financial adviser. Chaouch and the Company both agree not to make any statement, publicly or privately, written or verbal, to any third parties which may disparage or injure the goodwill, reputation and business standing of Chaouch or the Company, respectively. The Company shall instruct its officers and directors to avoid any such statement as well. In the event of any violation of this provision, and the Agreement, either party may seek all appropriate legal and equitable relief. Nothing in this Section 11 is intended to impose restrictions on either party beyond those that are permitted by law, including without limitation compliance with United States, French and Canadian securities laws and regulations, as well as directives of the respective agencies thereof. Nor is it intended to restrict the use of this Agreement as evidence in a subsequent proceeding in which any of the parties allege a breach of this Agreement.
