I don't mean to be confrontational, but I have a problem with your statement that:

"The NDA is a legal agreement and can only be undone in a court of law, not at the whim of an incoming CEO."

IMO, the only way a court of law could "undo" an NDA is if the court found that some aspect of the NDA was illegal - which I find difficult to fathom based on the nature of an NDA. 

An NDA is a contract, and IMO the only way it could get undone is if all the parties to the NDA all agreed to its disolution.

Thus, the NDA could be undone "at the whim of an incoming CEO", but only if the CEOs (authorized representatives) of the other parties to the agreement shared this whim.

I only bring this up because of my speculation that the NDA(s) could be undone, if all parties agree - if all parties saw the action as a smart strategic move.  IMO, the Js wanting their competition to pay more for a license, which may be more easily accomplished with disclosure of "our deal", could be an incentive for such action.

Rather than make any further comment, I respectfully refer you to this:

For good cause, this Court hereby approves the Stipulation for Dismissal and Orders that the remaining claims among these parties shall be dismissed, with each party bearing its own costs and attorneys' fees. Plaintiffs' claims are hereby dismissed with prejudice and Defendant TAEC's counterclaims are dismissed without prejudice. The Court expressly retains jurisdiction for purposes of enforcing the Agreement and the Memorandum of Understanding, the terms of which are hereby incorporated by reference. The Agreement, which incorporates the Memorandum of Understanding, is attached hereto, under seal, as Exhibit A.

Signed By Judge Ward

Be well
