The term "Confidential Information" does not include information which (a) is publicly available or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Recipient Party, (b) becomes available to the Recipient Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party, provided that the Receiving Party reasonably believes the source to have rightfully and lawfully obtained such information and such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or other obligation of secrecy with the Disclosing Party, (c) is independently developed by the Recipient Party, or (d) the Disclosing Party agrees in writing may be disclosed as set forth in Section 4 herein.

3. The provisions of this Agreement prohibiting disclosure of Confidential Information shall not apply to Confidential Information that the Recipient Party is lawfully required to disclose pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction, provided that before making such disclosure the Recipient Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party of such disclosure order and given the Disclosing Party a reasonable opportunity to quash such order and to obtain a protective order requiring that the information and/or documents that are the subject of such order be held in confidence by such court or agency or, if disclosed, be used only for the purposes for which the order was issued, provided, further, that if a disclosure order is not quashed or a protective order is not obtained, the Confidential Information disclosed in a response to such court or governmental order shall be limited to that Confidential Information which are legally required to be disclosed in such response to such court or governmental order.

4. Each party hereto agrees that it shall not, at any time, disclose, in whole or in part, the Confidential Information to any third party, without first obtaining express written permission from the Disclosing Party. Each party further and specifically agrees not to disclose, in whole or in part, the Confidential Information (including without limitation, the provisions of any term sheets or letters of intent) to any third parties with whom SURPLUS LIST and COUNER PARTY may be in negotiations regarding the Collaboration. Neither party may reveal Confidential Information to any affiliates, persons or other entities except those who are deemed by the Recipient Party to be necessary for the purpose of discussing or evaluating the Collaboration, and provided that the Confidential Information will be used by such affiliates, persons or other entities (including attorneys and accountants) solely in connection with the Collaboration. The Recipient Party shall take all necessary and appropriate precautions to avoid the unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information. All references to Group or Company in this Agreement shall include all affiliates of Group or Company, respectively, specifically including (named affiliates).

Such return or destruction of Confidential Information shall be certified in writing by the Recipient Party.

6. Confidential Information shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party. The Recipient Party shall make no commercial use whatsoever, in whole or in part, of the Confidential Information, shall not use the Confidential Information to establish or operate or assist anyone in the establishment or operation of a business, product or service similar or in competition, directly or indirectly, with the business of the Disclosing Party anywhere in the world.

7. The parties hereto acknowledge that the Confidential Information protected hereunder is of an extraordinary nature and value and cannot, in the event of any unauthorized disclosure or use by the Recipient Party, be adequately or reasonably compensated for in damages awarded in an action at law. Each party therefore agrees that in the event of such unauthorized disclosure or use by the Recipient Party, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to require of the Recipient Party specific performance of all acts and undertakings so required hereunder and to obtain injunctive and other equitable relief to prevent any further violation of any provisions herein. In any action taken by the Disclosing Party to enforce its rights under this Agreement, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to recover its costs of enforcement, including reasonable attorney's fees. In no event shall injunctive relief be considered the Disclosing Party's exclusive remedy for any breach or violation by the Recipient Party of its obligations under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding of the Recipient Party's potential knowledge of the Introduced Party prior to the Disclosing Party's introduction, any of the parties, contacts and sources introduced is subject to the appropriate provisions set forth in this Agreement as Introduced Party.

9. The Recipient Party shall not offer competing services of any kind in the State of California, regarding any services included in the Collaboration for a period of 3 years from the Effective Date of this agreement.


10. The Recipient Party will not disclose to any third parties any names, addresses, telephone numbers, fax numbers, or email addresses of any Introduced Party other than in connection with the Collaboration subject to the provisions in Section 4, and the Recipient Party recognizes that such information about any Introduced Party is the exclusive and valuable property of the Disclosing Party.

In each every such occurrence, the Fee shall be due and payable within seven (7) calendar days of the consummation, transfer, delivery, payment and/or receipt of benefit of any of the aforementioned payments other consideration at the Disclosing Party's instruction. However, the Fee due and payable to the Disclosing Party does not constitute the recovery and/or repayment of the Disclosing Party's damage in whole unless agreed by the parties in writing.

13. Each party hereby warrants, represents and covenants to the other that (a) each respective party has the right to enter into this Agreement and to perform fully all of its obligations herein, and (b) each respective party is not a party to any other agreement or under any other obligation to any third party which would prevent it from entering into this Agreement and complying with the terms and conditions set forth herein.

In the event that any provision contained in this Agreement shall be (i) held by any court or arbitration tribunal to be unenforceable, illegal, void or contrary to public policy, or (ii) in conflict with any applicable statute, law, regulation or applicable collective bargaining agreement, then such provision shall be of no force or effect; provided, however, that in such event the provision of this Agreement so affected shall be curtailed and limited only to the minimum extent necessary to permit compliance with the minimum required, and no other provisions of this Agreement shall be affected thereby and all such other provisions shall continue in full force and effect. No waiver by either party of any rights hereunder nor the failure of either party to enforce against the other any provision, covenant or condition of this Agreement shall be deemed to be a waiver of any preceding or succeeding breach of the same or any other provision, covenant or condition.
