1. Scope.

The Parties desire to disclose certain Confidential Information (as defined below) in connection with discussing, analyzing, and exchanging information about each Party’s products, services, and other offerings to determine whether the Parties may enter into a mutually beneficial business relationship (the “Purpose”).



2. Confidential Information.

(a) As used herein, “Confidential Information” means information that relates to the Purpose or that, although not related to such Purpose, is nevertheless disclosed as a result of the Parties’ discussions in that regard, and that should reasonably have been understood by the Party receiving such information (the “Receiving Party”), because of legends or other markings, the circumstances of disclosure, or the nature of the information itself, to be proprietary and confidential to the Party disclosing the information (the “Disclosing Party”) or an Affiliate of the Disclosing Party or to a third party. Confidential Information may be disclosed in written or other tangible form (including on electronic media) or by oral, visual, or other means. Confidential Information includes all of the following, whether or not reduced to tangible form: software codes, computer programs, trade secrets, patents, patent applications, copyrights, know-how, processes, research, development, ideas, inventions (whether patentable or not), formulas, algorithms, technical drawings, schematics, designs, diagrams, models, flow charts, documentation, specifications, databases, financial information, business plans, employee information, customer lists, sales information and forecasts, marketing plans, customer leads, customer information, anticipated markets, other information of a similar nature, and any other trade secrets or non-public business information belonging or pertaining to either of the parties. “Affiliate” means any person or entity directly or indirectly controlling, controlled by, or under common control with a Party.

(b) The definition of Confidential Information shall not include any information which: (i) was in the public domain when disclosed through no fault of the Receiving Party or its representatives; (ii) becomes publicly known after disclosure, other than as a result of the Receiving Party’s or its representative’s violation of this Agreement; (iii) was in the Receiving Party’s possession when disclosed without restriction and was not acquired directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party or its representatives; (iv) is shown by written evidence to have been developed by the Receiving Party independently after disclosure without benefit of the Confidential Information; or (v) was received after disclosure from a third party who did not require it to be held in confidence and who did not acquire it directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party or its representatives.



3. Confidentiality Obligations.

Throughout the Term (as defined below), the Receiving Party will (a) not use the Confidential Information for any purpose other than the Purpose; (b) hold Confidential Information in confidence and take reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential Information (such

precautions to include, at a minimum, all precautions the Receiving Party employs with respect to its own Confidential Information, but in no event using less than a reasonable standard of care); (c) not disclose Confidential Information except to its employees, representatives, suppliers, or subcontractors, in each case only to the extent necessary to achieve the Purpose and only if such employees, representatives,

suppliers or subcontractors are legally bound by written agreement to comply with the Receiving Party’s obligations under this Agreement, or are otherwise bound to the Receiving Party by obligations of confidentiality no less restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement, and provided that Receiving Party will be liable for any breach of the foregoing obligation by improper disclosure of Confidential Information by any such employees, representatives, suppliers or subcontractors; and (d) not reverse engineer any materials disclosed under this Agreement or remove any proprietary markings from any Confidential Information.



4. Mandatory Disclosure.

The Receiving Party may make disclosures as required by law or court order provided that the Receiving Party: (a) makes commercially reasonable efforts to provide the Disclosing Party with notice of such disclosure as promptly as possible (so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other confidential treatment with respect to Confidential Information at the Disclosing Party’s sole expense); and (b) uses diligent efforts to limit such disclosure.



5. Term.

The confidentiality obligations set out in this Agreement commence upon receipt of Confidential Information and continue thereafter until the earlier of (a) three (3) years after the date of disclosure, or with regard to trade secrets (or other proprietary or non-public information), until such time as a trade secret (or other proprietary or non-public information) disclosed under this Agreement becomes publicly known and made generally available through no action or inaction of the Receiving Party, or (b) such time as the Parties enter into a written agreement which expressly supersedes this Agreement (the “Term”).



6. Return of Confidential Information.

All Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement remains the property of the Disclosing Party and, unless otherwise noted herein, shall be promptly returned or destroyed upon request together with all copies made of such Confidential

Information by the Receiving Party. Upon request, such destruction shall be certified in writing to the Disclosing Party by an authorized officer of Receiving Party. The Receiving Party may retain Confidential Information contained in electronic archives and backups made in the ordinary course of business (including for legal or internal compliance purposes), provided such Confidential Information remains subject to the protections hereof, notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement or the expiration of the Confidentiality Period, until eventually erased or destroyed in the ordinary course of the Receiving Party’s records retention procedures.



7. No Commitment.
