Non-Disclosure. Both parties acknowledge that either party may disclose to the other in connection with the performance of this Agreement information the disclosing party considers confidential or proprietary ("Confidential Information") the disclosure of which would be damaging to the disclosing party. For purposes of this Section 6, Confidential Information shall
include all nonpublic Information of either party and/or the Client which a party and/or Client(i) marks as, or (ii) claims to the other to be, trade secret information, or (iii) which is recognizable by its nature to be a trade secret, or (iv) which is learned by one party without the other's intentional disclosure to it, or (v) which one party knows is deemed by the other to be its trade secret information including, without limitation, all software (regardless of its state of completion or form of recordation),

Maintenance of Confidential Information.

C. | Exchange of Confidential Information. Upon completion of the Services, or upon the disclosing party's earlier request, the receiving party shall immediately give over to the disclosing party all of the Confidential Information then in the receiving party's possession.

Survival. The provisions of this Section shall survive the termination, or expiration of this Agreement and shall remain in effect so long as either party has in its possession any Confidential Information. | |
E. | Request for Disclosure. Both parties acknowledge the competitive value and confidential nature of the Confidential Information. In the event that the receiving party becomes legally compelled to disclose any of the disclosing party's Confidential Information, the receiving party shall provide the disclosing parts with prompt notice so that the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and the receiving party agrees to cooperate in seeking reasonable protective arrangements requested by the disclosing party. In the event that a protective order or other remedy to prevent disclosure is not obtained, the receiving party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required and the receiving party shall exercise its reasonable best efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. | |
F. | Remedies. Both parties acknowledge and agree that, given the nature of the Confidential information and the damage that may result if information contained therein is disclosed to any third party, money damages may not be sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement, and that, in addition to all other remedies, the non-breaching party may be entitled to specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as deemed proper or necessary by a court of competent jurisdiction as a remedy for any such breach, and the breaching party further agrees to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy. | |
G. | Exceptions. Neither party shall have any obligation concerning any portion of the Confidential Information which (i) was known or independently developed by the receiving party before receipt, directly or indirectly, from the disclosing party, (ii) is lawfully obtained, directly or indirectly, by the receiving party from another party under no obligation of confidentiality, or (iii) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of an act or failure to act by the receiving party or its employees. |
