(c) Recipient agrees to return to Discloser the originals and all copies of all documents
and any other written information provided to Recipient concerning the Discloser’s Confidential

any other person or entity.

(e) Recipient agrees to restrict the circulation or disclosure of Discloser’s Confidential


Information among or to individuals who are bound by this Agreement or another agreement with the
same terms as this Agreement.

disclosure of, and preserve the confidentiality of, the Confidential Information.

3. EXCEPTIONS TO CONFIDENTIALITY. Notwithstanding the provisions of


Paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Agreement, information disclosed to or acquired by Recipient shall not
constitute Confidential Information of Discloser to the extent that Recipient can demonstrate (i) such
information was known to Recipient prior to the disclosure thereof by Discloser; (ii) such information
is or thereafter becomes lawfully obtainable from other nonconfidential sources; (iii) Recipient’s duty
as to confidentiality is waived in writing by Discloser; (iv) such information was developed by
employees or agents of Recipient independently of and without reference to Discloser’s Confidential
Information or other information that Discloser has disclosed in confidence to any third party; or (v)
disclosure thereof is required by legal process or applicable law (in which case Recipient shall use
Recipient’s best efforts to obtain a protective order or other appropriate confidential treatment for such
information).

4. OWNERSHIP OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; NO LICENSE.


Discloser’s Confidential Information shall remain the property of Discloser. No license or assignment,
by implication, estoppel or otherwise, is granted by Discloser to Recipient (a) to use Discloser’s
Confidential Information except solely for the purpose for which it was furnished, or (b) under any
patent, patent application, copyright, trade secret, trademark, service mark or any other intellectual
property right.

5. SURVIVAL OF OBLIGATIONS. The obligations as to confidentiality and nonuse


of the Confidential Information shall continue indefinitely and shall survive the termination of this
Agreement.

6. EQUITABLE RELIEF. Recipient agrees that Discloser’s Confidential Information


referenced herein is of a special, unique and unusual character and that breach of Recipient’s obligations
or duties under this Agreement may not be reasonably or adequately compensated for in damages in an
action at law. Accordingly, Discloser shall be entitled to injunctive relief for such breach in addition to
any other rights or remedies Discloser may have at law, in equity, or pursuant to this Agreement.

7. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held invalid, such


invalidity shall not affect the other provisions hereof, and to that extent, the provisions of this Agreement
are intended to be and shall be deemed severable.

8. WAIVER. Waiver by Discloser of breach or failure to exercise any right under this
Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach or right. The failure of Discloser to
take action at the earliest possible time to redress any such breach or to exercise any such right shall not

deprive Discloser of the right to take action at any subsequent time, while such breach or condition
giving rise to such right continues.

Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to place the parties in the relationship of joint venturers,
