Buyer shall not disclose Confidential Information to Seller unless it is required to do so to enable Seller to perform work under the Contract.

Confidentiality

In connection with the Contract, Seller and Buyer (as to information disclosed, the “Disclosing Party”) may each provide the other party (as to information received, the “Receiving Party”) with “Confidential Information”. “Confidential Information” means (a) all pricing for Products and Services, (b) all terms of the Contract, (c) all information that is designated in writing as “confidential” or “proprietary”by the Disclosing Party at the time of written disclosure, and (d) all information that is orally designated as “confidential” or “proprietary” by the Disclosing Party at the time of oral disclosure and is confirmed to be “confidential” or “proprietary” in writing within 10 days after oral disclosure. The obligations of this Article shall not apply as to any portion of the Confidential Information that: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than from disclosure by the Receiving Party, its representatives or its affiliates; (ii) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party or its representatives or affiliates on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party when the source is not, to the best of the Receiving Party’s knowledge, subject to a confidentiality obligation to the Disclosing Party; (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party, its representatives or affiliates, without reference to the Confidential Information; (iv) is required to be disclosed by law, a valid legal process or a government agency; or (v) is approved for disclosure in writing by an authorized representative of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party agrees: (i) to use the Confidential Information only in connection with the Contract and permitted use(s) and maintenance of Products and Services, (ii) to take reasonable measures to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information, except to its employees, agents or financing parties who have a need to know for Buyer to perform its obligations under the Contract or to use and maintain Products or Services, and (iii) not to disclose the Confidential Information to a competitor of the Disclosing Party.

The Receiving Party agrees to obtain a commitment from any recipient of Confidential Information to comply with the terms of this Article. Confidential Information shall not be reproduced without the Disclosing Party’s written consent, and the Receiving Party shall return all copies of Confidential Information to the Disclosing Party upon request except to the extent that the Contract entitles the Receiving Party to retain the Confidential Information. Seller may also retain one copy of Buyer’s Confidential Information until all its potential liability under the Contract terminates.

If either party or any of its affiliates or representatives is required by law, legal process or a government agency to disclose any Confidential Information, that party agrees to provide the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice to permit the Disclosing Party to seek an appropriate protective order or agency decision or to waive compliance by the Receiving Party with the provisions of this Article. In the event that efforts to secure confidential treatment are unsuccessful, Seller may lawfully revise the Confidential Information to make it nonproprietary or to minimize the loss of its proprietary value. Nothing in this Article grants the Receiving Party any license under any invention, patent, trademark or copyright now or later owned or controlled by the Disclosing Party. Buyer shall not disclose Confidential Information to Seller unless it is required to do so to enable Seller to perform work under the Contract. If Buyer does disclose Confidential Information, Buyer warrants that it has the right to disclose the information, and Buyer shall indemnify and hold Seller harmless against any claims or damages resulting from improper disclosure by Buyer. As to any individual item of Confidential Information, the restrictions of this Article shall expire the earlier of five (5) years after the date of disclosure or three (3) years after termination or expiration of the Contract. This Article does not supersede any separate confidentiality or nondisclosure agreement signed by the parties.
