6. Confidential Information. You agree that all information disclosed by Apple to you that
relates to Apple’s products, designs, business plans, business opportunities, finances, research,
development, know-how, personnel, or third-party confidential information, will be considered and
referred to collectively as “Confidential Information.” Confidential Information, however, does not
include: (a) information that Apple makes generally available to the public; (b) information that you
can demonstrate to have had rightfully in your possession prior to disclosure to you by Apple; (c)
information that is independently developed by you without the use of any Confidential Information;
(d) information that you rightfully obtain from a third party who has been given the right to transfer or
disclose it by Apple; or (e) any third party software and/or documentation provided by Apple and
accompanied by licensing terms that do not impose confidentiality obligations on the use or disclosure
of such software and/or documentation, for example, software governed by the GNU General Public
License (“GPL”). You agree not to disclose, publish, or disseminate Confidential Information to
anyone other than those employees and contractors working for the same entity as you who have an
existing ADC membership. You further agree to take reasonable precautions to prevent any
unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of Confidential Information. You agree
not to use Confidential Information otherwise for your own or any third party’s benefit without the
prior written approval of an authorized representative of Apple in each instance.
