1. Definition of “Confidential Information”.
a. Confidential Information. For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means all information that is not generally known, in whatever form, disclosed by a Disclosing Party to a Receiving Party or learned as a result of such disclosure, including information about a Disclosing Party’s finances, costs and pricing; and the Disclosing Party’s actual or potential employees, vendors or customers; competitive and market conditions; and any other information which is not generally known to others.
b. Exceptions. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is, or later becomes generally known other than as a result of misappropriation or a breach of this Agreement; (ii) is in the possession of the Receiving Party without restriction prior to its receipt from the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records; (iii) is received by the Receiving Party from a third party lawfully holding such Confidential Information and with no restrictions on its disclosure; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as evidenced by contemporaneous written records. The Receiving Party shall have the burden of proving the existence of the foregoing exceptions. Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be generally known merely because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or because individual features, components or combinations thereof are now or become generally known.
2. Treatment of Confidential Information.
a. Each party agrees to keep secret and confidential the Confidential Information of the other party, and further agrees to use such information solely as is reasonably necessary for the Purpose defined above. The Receiving Party shall not otherwise use any of the other’s Confidential Information for its own or any third party's benefit, without the prior written approval of an authorized representative of the Disclosing Party.
b. Each party further agrees that it shall not disclose the other’s Confidential Information to any outside party (with the exception of the Third and Fourth Party defined elsewhere within this Agreement, provisions of which are discussed in 2(f) below) without the Disclosing Party’s express prior written consent, except that a Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information or portions thereof to those of its directors, shareholders, officers, employees, representatives and agents (collectively, the “Representatives”) who need to know such information for the Receiving Party to accomplish the Purpose defined above. Prior to disclosing any of the other’s Confidential Information to any Representative, the Receiving Party will inform such Representative in writing of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and will ensure that such Representative is bound by written confidentiality and use-restriction terms substantially similar to the terms in this Agreement.
c. Each party further agrees to protect and safeguard the other’s Confidential Information against unauthorized use, publication or disclosure with the same level of care it employs to safeguard its own Confidential Information, and in no event with less than reasonable care.
d. Each party further agrees that it shall not reverse engineer, decompile or otherwise disassemble the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
e. The Receiving Party may disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party without breach of this Agreement solely to the extent such Confidential Information is required to be disclosed pursuant to any government statute, regulation or any court order, to the extent actually so required and after notice of such requirement to the Disclosing Party, provided that such notice is allowed by law.
f. Prior to release of any Confidential Information to any Third Parties, UXB and the Compnay shall ensure that each has in place Non-Disclosure Agreements between their respective client with similarly restrictive terms. UXB and Company may request from the other the Terms of the Non-Disclosure Agreements with their prospective clients.

To the extent Confidential Information, and any matter including, embodying, constituting, reflecting, derived from or arising from the Confidential Information, is or becomes cognizable under the patent, copyright, trademark or other intellectual property laws of any jurisdiction, the parties agree that the Disclosing Party will solely own all such rights. The Receiving Party shall not publicly disclose or offer for sale any such invention, discovery, creation or improvement, and such subject matter shall be deemed to be Confidential Information owned by the Disclosing Party until such time, if ever, that it no longer meets the definition of same. The Receiving Party shall not contest or challenge the Disclosing Party’s patent, copyright or other intellectual property rights in the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and the other party further agrees to assign whatever rights it may acquire in such intellectual property to the Disclosing Party, and further to provide whatever assistance the Disclosing Party reasonably requests to protect, register, enforce or defend such intellectual property rights. The Receiving Party further agrees that it shall not take any action that would infringe, misappropriate or otherwise impair such rights or the acquisition of such rights.
