Upon reasonable notice and subject to restrictions contained in confidentiality agreements to which such party is subject (from which such party shall use reasonable efforts to be released), STI shall afford to the officers, employees, accountants, counsel and other representatives of FSG, access, during normal business hours during the period prior to the Closing, to all of STI’s properties, books, contracts, commitments and records and, during such period, STI shall furnish promptly to the other all information concerning STI’s business, properties and personnel as FSG may reasonably request, in each case, to the extent necessary to permit FSG to determine any matter relating to its rights and obligations hereunder or to any period ending on or before the Closing Date.
 
(c) Confidentiality. Prior to the Closing Date and after any termination of this Agreement, STI and its affiliates will hold, an will use best efforts to cause their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to hold, in confidence, unless compelled to disclose by judicial or administrative process or by other requirements of law, all confidential documents and information concerning FSG furnished to STI or its affiliates in connection with the transaction contemplated by this Agreement, except to the extent that such information can be shown to have been (i) previously known on a nonconfidential basis by STI, (ii) in the public domain through no fault of STI or (iii) later lawfully acquired by STI from sources other than FSG; provided that STI may disclose such information to its officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and to its lenders in connection with obtaining the financing for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement so long as such Persons are informed by STI of the confidential nature of such information and are directed by STI to treat such information confidentially. The obligation of STI and its affiliates to hold such information in confidence shall be satisfied if they exercise the same care with respect to such information as they would take to preserve the confidentiality of their own similar information. If this Agreement is terminated, STI and its affiliates will, and will use best efforts to cause their respective officers, directors, employees, accountants, counsel, consultants, advisors and agents to, destroy or deliver to FSG, upon request, all documents and other materials, and all copies thereof, obtained by STI and its affiliates or on their behalf from FSG in connection with this Agreement that are subject to such confidence.
