SECTION THIRTEEN
 
Privileged and Confidential Information
 
13.1   The Corporation and the Independent Contractor acknowledge that the Corporation has acquired and developed, and will continue to acquire and develop, information related to its business and its industry which is secret and confidential in character and is and will continue to be of great and unique value to the Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates. The term "confidential information" as used in this Amended and Restated Agreement shall mean all trade secrets, propriety information and other data or information (and any tangible evidence, record or representation thereof), whether prepared, conceived or developed by an employee of the Corporation or received by the Corporation from an outside source (including the Independent Contractor), which is in the possession of the Corporation, which is maintained in confidence by the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation or which might permit the Corporation or any subsidiary or affiliate of the Corporation or any of their respective customers to obtain a competitive advantage over competitors who do not have access to such trade secrets, proprietary information, or other data or information, including, without limitation, information concerning the Corporation's seasonal product line plans, store and brand image and trade dress developments and strategies, business plans, real estate leasing terms, conditions and plans, occupancy costs, customers, suppliers, designs, advertising plans, marketing plans, merchandising plans, market studies and forecasts, competitive analyses, pricing policies, employee lists, and the substance of agreements with landlords, tenants, subtenants, customers, suppliers and others. The term "confidential information" also includes information that the Corporation has in its possession from third parties, that such third parties claim to be confidential or proprietary, and which the Corporation has agreed to keep confidential. However, the term "confidential information" as used in this Amended and Restated Agreement shall not include information that is generally known to the public or in the trade as a result of having been disclosed by the Corporation in a press release or in a filing by the Corporation with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission. The Independent Contractor shall keep and maintain all confidential information in complete secrecy, and shall not use for itself or others, or divulge to others, any knowledge, data or other information relating to any matter which is confidential information relating to the Corporation obtained by the Independent Contractor as a result of its Services, unless authorized in writing by the Corporation in advance of such use or disclosure. All written information made available to the Independent Contractor by the Corporation, which concerns the business activities of the Corporation, shall be the Corporation's property and shall, if requested in writing by the Corporation, be delivered to it on the termination or expiration of this Amended and Restated Agreement.

13.2 The Independent Contractor acknowledges that money alone will not adequately compensate the Corporation for breach of any confidentiality agreement herein and, therefore, agrees that in the event of the breach or threatened breach of such agreement, in addition to other rights and remedies available to the Corporation, at law, in equity or otherwise, the Corporation shall be entitled to injunctive relief compelling specific performance of, or other compliance with, the terms hereof, and such rights and remedies shall be cumulative.

The Independent Contractor shall also defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Corporation against all liability and loss in connection with, and shall assume full responsibility for, payment of all federal, state, or local income taxes imposed or required under applicable laws with respect to Services performed and compensation paid the Independent Contractor under this Amended and Restated Agreement.
