    NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of each other party's disclosure of Confidential Information and the covenants and promises contained herein, each party agrees as follows:

    1. This Agreement will apply to all Confidential Information disclosed by one party to the other at any time. "Confidential Information" shall mean any information that has been identified as confidential or proprietary or reasonably appears to be proprietary or confidential in nature because of legends or other markings, the circumstances of disclosure, or the nature of the information itself, whether in writing or other tangible form or by electronic, oral, visual or other means.

    2. Each party agrees to (i) hold the Confidential Information disclosed by any other party in confidence, (ii) not disclose such Confidential Information to anyone other than their Representatives (as defined below), and (iii) not use such Confidential Information for any purpose except for the Business Purpose. Each party shall protect and prevent the unauthorized use or dissemination of the Confidential Information disclosed by any other party by using the same degree of care it would use in protecting its own confidential information (which in no event shall be less than a reasonable degree of care). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding two sentences, each party may disclose Confidential Information to it and its affiliates' employees, directors, officers, attorneys, advisors, agents and contractors (collectively, "Representatives") who have bona fide need to know and are subject to an obligation of confidentiality no less stringent than that set forth in this Agreement or other professional and ethical obligations. Each party will remain liable for any breach of this Agreement by its Affiliates or Representatives.

    3. Confidential Information shall not include any information:

    b. was acquired by the receiving party before receiving such information from the disclosing party without any restriction known to the receiving party as to use or disclosure;
    c. is hereafter furnished to the receiving party without restriction known to the receiving party as to use or disclosure by a third party authorized to make such disclosure; or
    d. is information that was independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the Confidential Information disclosed by the other party.

    4. In the event the receiving party is required by law, regulation or a valid subpoena or order, to disclose any of the Confidential Information, the receiving party will promptly notify the disclosing party in writing so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy. The receiving party agrees to cooperate with the disclosing party in seeking such order or other remedy. The receiving party further agrees that if it is required or if advised by counsel to disclose Confidential Information, it will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required or is advised by counsel to be furnished and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information. Each party acknowledges that the act of such disclosure will not operate to render Confidential Information non-confidential.

    5. The receiving party will promptly return to the disclosing party, or, if so, directed by the disclosing party in writing, destroy all tangible items containing or consisting of the disclosing party's Confidential Information and all copies thereof upon the disclosing party's request.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to grant to either party a license under the other party's copyrights, patents, trade secrets, trademarks or other intellectual property rights.

    7. Nothing in this Agreement, any discussions undertaken, nor any disclosures made pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed a commitment to disclose any information to the other party or to engage in any business relationship, contract or future dealing with the other party. This Agreement does not create a joint venture, partnership or other business relationship, nor shall it bind the parties to create any such relationship or create other legal obligation beyond what is contained herein. The receipt of Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement will not prevent or in any way limit either party from: (i) developing, making or marketing products or services that are or may be competitive with the products or services of any of the other parties; or (ii) providing products or services to others who compete with the other party.

    8. Each party understands and acknowledges that neither party makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of Confidential Information disclosed hereunder. The disclosing party shall have no liability or responsibility for errors or omissions in, or any decisions made by the receiving party in reliance on, any Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement.

    9. Each party acknowledges that (a) all Confidential Information disclosed by any of the parties is owned solely by the disclosing party, (b) such Confidential Information is valuable to the disclosing party, and (c) the unauthorized disclosure or use of such Confidential Information might cause irreparable harm and significant injury to the disclosing party, for which monetary damages alone might not be an adequate remedy. Accordingly, each party agrees that in the event of breach or threatened breach of this Agreement, the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief without the necessity of posting a bond. Any such relief shall be in addition to, and not in lieu of any other remedies available to the disclosing party, including but not limited to monetary damages.

    10. Except upon mutual written agreement, the existence and terms of this Agreement, the discussions that gave rise to this Agreement, the fact that there have been, or will be, discussions or negotiations contemplated by this Agreement, and the existence and nature of any business relationship between the parties, shall be treated by each party as the Confidential Information of the other party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
