Preamble
The Organiser of the Copernicus Masters and the Copernicus Accelerator 2017 is Anwendungszentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen (hereinafter “Organiser”). The Earth monitoring competition Copernicus Masters aims to support the development of market-oriented applications based on Earth observation data. In 2017, the Copernicus Masters is again enriched by the Copernicus Accelerator, a European Commission programme. Through this initiative, the 50 best finalists of the Copernicus Masters, selected by an international expert panel will automatically be granted access to a business coaching scheme provided by high-level professionals, that will act as mentors. To actively participate in the Copernicus Accelerator programme, Mentor commits to the following Non-Disclosure-Agreement and Terms of Participation.
1 Eligibility
Mentor is a resident of one of the Copernicus participating countries1 or is employed with a legal identity registered in the territory of one of the Copernicus participating countries, willing to support and help develop the Ideas of the finalists of the Copernicus Masters 2017 (hereinafter “Participants”). Professionals who pursue becoming mentors need to apply via the dedicated platform, inserting all required details, which can be edited anytime by Mentor. Their request needs to be validated by the Organiser and the European Commission, who can refuse participation in case of non-eligibility or conflict of interest. After verification of all details entered, the Organiser will notify the Mentor about the outcome of his/her submission.
Even after validation, the Organiser cannot guarantee that there will be an actual match between Mentor and Participants. Mentor confirms that Mentor has not been involved in the development of any of the Ideas to be coached at any stage and that Mentor has no personal or commercial connection to any Participant of the Copernicus Accelerator that would influence an objective development of Ideas.
1 The Copernicus Participating countries include all the EU Member States, in addition to Norway and Iceland.
2 Procedure and Terms of Participation
The Copernicus Accelerator programme is comprised of different phases, for a total coaching support of approximately one year, aimed at helping Participants´ Ideas achieving measurable results. When submitting the request to become Mentor, Mentor needs to specify in which fields he/she can support Participants, in order to allow a suitable matchmaking with the requests and needs communicated by Participants.
When a Mentor is requested by a Participant of the programme, he/she can access the Participant's profile and examine the submitted idea, in order to decide whether to confirm the request or not. Mentors can only advise up to two participants.
Mentors will meet the Participants at the Accelerator Bootcamp, that will take place in line with the Awards Ceremony of the Copernicus Masters, the European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC), and the accompanying Satellite Masters Conference from 6 - 8 November 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia. Mentor´s participation to this event is mandatory, as it will set forth the official start of their relationship: Mentor and Participants will begin developing a coaching plan together, that will include objectives and KPIs of their affiliation.
Monthly virtual interactions need to be planned by Mentor, to ensure a continuous acceleration of the Participants Ideas´ towards business maturity. A mid-term review and survey will be required by April 2018, to evaluate progress made and ensure that the recommendations of the coaching plan are currently implemented by Participants. In case of a non-positive matching or non-compliance to his/her assigned duties (having monthly interactions with the mentees, keeping contacts with the Copernicus Accelerator team, promptly informing the organizers about any relevant issue connected to the coaching relationship), Mentor may be replaced by a more suitable candidate for the Participants´ needs.
Mentor will actively support Participants until July 2018, and will then submit a final report together, detailing the outcome of the coaching experience. The Organiser will continuously monitor all relationships, in order to assist both parties and guarantee a positive outcome of the programme. Mentor needs to deliver all requested reports and schedule all requested meetings. The Organiser will provide Mentor with templates for the documents to be produced. Mentors and Participants will meet again at the closing bootcamp, held in October/November 2018, that will official seal the closing of their mentoring relationship.
At the end of the coaching service, Mentor will fill in a questionnaire on the coaching service and the overall experience and will also be subject to a specific questionnaire compiled by Participants.
3 Payment
The Organiser will reimburse Mentor the travel arrangements and accommodation for the Acceleration Bootcamp in Tallinn in 2017 (a maximum of EUR 800) and the closing bootcamp in 2018 (a maximum of EUR 700). The coaching service provided by Mentor is worth a maximum fee of EUR 5,000 (VAT excluded) per Participant coached, that will be remunerated to Mentor at the end of the programme, after the submission and approval of the final summary report of the coaching relationships. Payment shall be made within 30 days from the receipt of invoice, and following the invoice verification by Organiser. No deductions will be made from the gross fees paid to mentor who shall be solely responsible for ensuring that all and any Government taxes and other deductions are paid by him/her.
4 Definition of Confidential Information
“Confidential Information” means any Idea disclosed to Mentor, all data and information, know-how, business concepts, software, procedures, products, services, development projects, and programmes contained in such Idea and/or its description and any conclusions. Confidential Information does not include:
> information already known or independently developed by Mentor prior to the disclosure of any Idea;
> information already in the public domain through no wrongful act of Mentor; or
> information received from a third party who was free to disclose such information.
In case of doubt any information is deemed to be Confidential Information unless Mentor proves that such information is not confidential.
5 Non-Disclosure of Confidential Information / Obligations of Mentor
Mentor shall not use any Confidential Information for any purpose except to review, assess and help develop the Participants´ Ideas.

Preamble
The Organiser of the Copernicus Masters and the Copernicus Accelerator 2017 is Anwendungszentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen (hereinafter “Organiser”). The Earth monitoring competition Copernicus Masters aims to support the development of market-oriented applications based on Earth observation data. In 2017, the Copernicus Masters is again enriched by the Copernicus Accelerator, a European Commission programme. Through this initiative, the 50 best finalists of the Copernicus Masters, selected by an international expert panel will automatically be granted access to a business coaching scheme provided by high-level professionals, that will act as mentors. To actively participate in the Copernicus Accelerator programme, Mentor commits to the following Non-Disclosure-Agreement and Terms of Participation.
1 Eligibility
Mentor is a resident of one of the Copernicus participating countries1 or is employed with a legal identity registered in the territory of one of the Copernicus participating countries, willing to support and help develop the Ideas of the finalists of the Copernicus Masters 2017 (hereinafter “Participants”). Professionals who pursue becoming mentors need to apply via the dedicated platform, inserting all required details, which can be edited anytime by Mentor. Their request needs to be validated by the Organiser and the European Commission, who can refuse participation in case of non-eligibility or conflict of interest. After verification of all details entered, the Organiser will notify the Mentor about the outcome of his/her submission.
Even after validation, the Organiser cannot guarantee that there will be an actual match between Mentor and Participants. Mentor confirms that Mentor has not been involved in the development of any of the Ideas to be coached at any stage and that Mentor has no personal or commercial connection to any Participant of the Copernicus Accelerator that would influence an objective development of Ideas.
1 The Copernicus Participating countries include all the EU Member States, in addition to Norway and Iceland.
2 Procedure and Terms of Participation
The Copernicus Accelerator programme is comprised of different phases, for a total coaching support of approximately one year, aimed at helping Participants´ Ideas achieving measurable results. When submitting the request to become Mentor, Mentor needs to specify in which fields he/she can support Participants, in order to allow a suitable matchmaking with the requests and needs communicated by Participants.
When a Mentor is requested by a Participant of the programme, he/she can access the Participant's profile and examine the submitted idea, in order to decide whether to confirm the request or not. Mentors can only advise up to two participants.
Mentors will meet the Participants at the Accelerator Bootcamp, that will take place in line with the Awards Ceremony of the Copernicus Masters, the European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC), and the accompanying Satellite Masters Conference from 6 - 8 November 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia. Mentor´s participation to this event is mandatory, as it will set forth the official start of their relationship: Mentor and Participants will begin developing a coaching plan together, that will include objectives and KPIs of their affiliation.
Monthly virtual interactions need to be planned by Mentor, to ensure a continuous acceleration of the Participants Ideas´ towards business maturity. A mid-term review and survey will be required by April 2018, to evaluate progress made and ensure that the recommendations of the coaching plan are currently implemented by Participants. In case of a non-positive matching or non-compliance to his/her assigned duties (having monthly interactions with the mentees, keeping contacts with the Copernicus Accelerator team, promptly informing the organizers about any relevant issue connected to the coaching relationship), Mentor may be replaced by a more suitable candidate for the Participants´ needs.
Mentor will actively support Participants until July 2018, and will then submit a final report together, detailing the outcome of the coaching experience. The Organiser will continuously monitor all relationships, in order to assist both parties and guarantee a positive outcome of the programme. Mentor needs to deliver all requested reports and schedule all requested meetings. The Organiser will provide Mentor with templates for the documents to be produced. Mentors and Participants will meet again at the closing bootcamp, held in October/November 2018, that will official seal the closing of their mentoring relationship.
At the end of the coaching service, Mentor will fill in a questionnaire on the coaching service and the overall experience and will also be subject to a specific questionnaire compiled by Participants.
3 Payment
The Organiser will reimburse Mentor the travel arrangements and accommodation for the Acceleration Bootcamp in Tallinn in 2017 (a maximum of EUR 800) and the closing bootcamp in 2018 (a maximum of EUR 700). The coaching service provided by Mentor is worth a maximum fee of EUR 5,000 (VAT excluded) per Participant coached, that will be remunerated to Mentor at the end of the programme, after the submission and approval of the final summary report of the coaching relationships. Payment shall be made within 30 days from the receipt of invoice, and following the invoice verification by Organiser. No deductions will be made from the gross fees paid to mentor who shall be solely responsible for ensuring that all and any Government taxes and other deductions are paid by him/her.
4 Definition of Confidential Information
“Confidential Information” means any Idea disclosed to Mentor, all data and information, know-how, business concepts, software, procedures, products, services, development projects, and programmes contained in such Idea and/or its description and any conclusions. Confidential Information does not include:

Preamble
The Organiser of the Copernicus Masters and the Copernicus Accelerator 2017 is Anwendungszentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen (hereinafter “Organiser”). The Earth monitoring competition Copernicus Masters aims to support the development of market-oriented applications based on Earth observation data. In 2017, the Copernicus Masters is again enriched by the Copernicus Accelerator, a European Commission programme. Through this initiative, the 50 best finalists of the Copernicus Masters, selected by an international expert panel will automatically be granted access to a business coaching scheme provided by high-level professionals, that will act as mentors. To actively participate in the Copernicus Accelerator programme, Mentor commits to the following Non-Disclosure-Agreement and Terms of Participation.
1 Eligibility
Mentor is a resident of one of the Copernicus participating countries1 or is employed with a legal identity registered in the territory of one of the Copernicus participating countries, willing to support and help develop the Ideas of the finalists of the Copernicus Masters 2017 (hereinafter “Participants”). Professionals who pursue becoming mentors need to apply via the dedicated platform, inserting all required details, which can be edited anytime by Mentor. Their request needs to be validated by the Organiser and the European Commission, who can refuse participation in case of non-eligibility or conflict of interest. After verification of all details entered, the Organiser will notify the Mentor about the outcome of his/her submission.
Even after validation, the Organiser cannot guarantee that there will be an actual match between Mentor and Participants. Mentor confirms that Mentor has not been involved in the development of any of the Ideas to be coached at any stage and that Mentor has no personal or commercial connection to any Participant of the Copernicus Accelerator that would influence an objective development of Ideas.
1 The Copernicus Participating countries include all the EU Member States, in addition to Norway and Iceland.
2 Procedure and Terms of Participation
The Copernicus Accelerator programme is comprised of different phases, for a total coaching support of approximately one year, aimed at helping Participants´ Ideas achieving measurable results. When submitting the request to become Mentor, Mentor needs to specify in which fields he/she can support Participants, in order to allow a suitable matchmaking with the requests and needs communicated by Participants.
When a Mentor is requested by a Participant of the programme, he/she can access the Participant's profile and examine the submitted idea, in order to decide whether to confirm the request or not. Mentors can only advise up to two participants.
Mentors will meet the Participants at the Accelerator Bootcamp, that will take place in line with the Awards Ceremony of the Copernicus Masters, the European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC), and the accompanying Satellite Masters Conference from 6 - 8 November 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia. Mentor´s participation to this event is mandatory, as it will set forth the official start of their relationship: Mentor and Participants will begin developing a coaching plan together, that will include objectives and KPIs of their affiliation.
Monthly virtual interactions need to be planned by Mentor, to ensure a continuous acceleration of the Participants Ideas´ towards business maturity. A mid-term review and survey will be required by April 2018, to evaluate progress made and ensure that the recommendations of the coaching plan are currently implemented by Participants. In case of a non-positive matching or non-compliance to his/her assigned duties (having monthly interactions with the mentees, keeping contacts with the Copernicus Accelerator team, promptly informing the organizers about any relevant issue connected to the coaching relationship), Mentor may be replaced by a more suitable candidate for the Participants´ needs.
Mentor will actively support Participants until July 2018, and will then submit a final report together, detailing the outcome of the coaching experience. The Organiser will continuously monitor all relationships, in order to assist both parties and guarantee a positive outcome of the programme. Mentor needs to deliver all requested reports and schedule all requested meetings. The Organiser will provide Mentor with templates for the documents to be produced. Mentors and Participants will meet again at the closing bootcamp, held in October/November 2018, that will official seal the closing of their mentoring relationship.
At the end of the coaching service, Mentor will fill in a questionnaire on the coaching service and the overall experience and will also be subject to a specific questionnaire compiled by Participants.
3 Payment
The Organiser will reimburse Mentor the travel arrangements and accommodation for the Acceleration Bootcamp in Tallinn in 2017 (a maximum of EUR 800) and the closing bootcamp in 2018 (a maximum of EUR 700).

In case of a non-positive matching or non-compliance to his/her assigned duties (having monthly interactions with the mentees, keeping contacts with the Copernicus Accelerator team, promptly informing the organizers about any relevant issue connected to the coaching relationship), Mentor may be replaced by a more suitable candidate for the Participants´ needs.
Mentor will actively support Participants until July 2018, and will then submit a final report together, detailing the outcome of the coaching experience. The Organiser will continuously monitor all relationships, in order to assist both parties and guarantee a positive outcome of the programme. Mentor needs to deliver all requested reports and schedule all requested meetings. The Organiser will provide Mentor with templates for the documents to be produced. Mentors and Participants will meet again at the closing bootcamp, held in October/November 2018, that will official seal the closing of their mentoring relationship.
At the end of the coaching service, Mentor will fill in a questionnaire on the coaching service and the overall experience and will also be subject to a specific questionnaire compiled by Participants.

The Organiser will reimburse Mentor the travel arrangements and accommodation for the Acceleration Bootcamp in Tallinn in 2017 (a maximum of EUR 800) and the closing bootcamp in 2018 (a maximum of EUR 700). The coaching service provided by Mentor is worth a maximum fee of EUR 5,000 (VAT excluded) per Participant coached, that will be remunerated to Mentor at the end of the programme, after the submission and approval of the final summary report of the coaching relationships.

Preamble
The Organiser of the Copernicus Masters and the Copernicus Accelerator 2017 is Anwendungszentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen (hereinafter “Organiser”). The Earth monitoring competition Copernicus Masters aims to support the development of market-oriented applications based on Earth observation data. In 2017, the Copernicus Masters is again enriched by the Copernicus Accelerator, a European Commission programme. Through this initiative, the 50 best finalists of the Copernicus Masters, selected by an international expert panel will automatically be granted access to a business coaching scheme provided by high-level professionals, that will act as mentors. To actively participate in the Copernicus Accelerator programme, Mentor commits to the following Non-Disclosure-Agreement and Terms of Participation.
1 Eligibility
Mentor is a resident of one of the Copernicus participating countries1 or is employed with a legal identity registered in the territory of one of the Copernicus participating countries, willing to support and help develop the Ideas of the finalists of the Copernicus Masters 2017 (hereinafter “Participants”). Professionals who pursue becoming mentors need to apply via the dedicated platform, inserting all required details, which can be edited anytime by Mentor. Their request needs to be validated by the Organiser and the European Commission, who can refuse participation in case of non-eligibility or conflict of interest. After verification of all details entered, the Organiser will notify the Mentor about the outcome of his/her submission.
Even after validation, the Organiser cannot guarantee that there will be an actual match between Mentor and Participants. Mentor confirms that Mentor has not been involved in the development of any of the Ideas to be coached at any stage and that Mentor has no personal or commercial connection to any Participant of the Copernicus Accelerator that would influence an objective development of Ideas.
1 The Copernicus Participating countries include all the EU Member States, in addition to Norway and Iceland.
2 Procedure and Terms of Participation
The Copernicus Accelerator programme is comprised of different phases, for a total coaching support of approximately one year, aimed at helping Participants´ Ideas achieving measurable results. When submitting the request to become Mentor, Mentor needs to specify in which fields he/she can support Participants, in order to allow a suitable matchmaking with the requests and needs communicated by Participants.
When a Mentor is requested by a Participant of the programme, he/she can access the Participant's profile and examine the submitted idea, in order to decide whether to confirm the request or not. Mentors can only advise up to two participants.
Mentors will meet the Participants at the Accelerator Bootcamp, that will take place in line with the Awards Ceremony of the Copernicus Masters, the European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC), and the accompanying Satellite Masters Conference from 6 - 8 November 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia. Mentor´s participation to this event is mandatory, as it will set forth the official start of their relationship: Mentor and Participants will begin developing a coaching plan together, that will include objectives and KPIs of their affiliation.

The Copernicus Accelerator programme is comprised of different phases, for a total coaching support of approximately one year, aimed at helping Participants´ Ideas achieving measurable results. When submitting the request to become Mentor, Mentor needs to specify in which fields he/she can support Participants, in order to allow a suitable matchmaking with the requests and needs communicated by Participants.
When a Mentor is requested by a Participant of the programme, he/she can access the Participant's profile and examine the submitted idea, in order to decide whether to confirm the request or not. Mentors can only advise up to two participants.
Mentors will meet the Participants at the Accelerator Bootcamp, that will take place in line with the Awards Ceremony of the Copernicus Masters, the European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC), and the accompanying Satellite Masters Conference from 6 - 8 November 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia. Mentor´s participation to this event is mandatory, as it will set forth the official start of their relationship: Mentor and Participants will begin developing a coaching plan together, that will include objectives and KPIs of their affiliation.
Monthly virtual interactions need to be planned by Mentor, to ensure a continuous acceleration of the Participants Ideas´ towards business maturity. A mid-term review and survey will be required by April 2018, to evaluate progress made and ensure that the recommendations of the coaching plan are currently implemented by Participants. In case of a non-positive matching or non-compliance to his/her assigned duties (having monthly interactions with the mentees, keeping contacts with the Copernicus Accelerator team, promptly informing the organizers about any relevant issue connected to the coaching relationship), Mentor may be replaced by a more suitable candidate for the Participants´ needs.
Mentor will actively support Participants until July 2018, and will then submit a final report together, detailing the outcome of the coaching experience. The Organiser will continuously monitor all relationships, in order to assist both parties and guarantee a positive outcome of the programme. Mentor needs to deliver all requested reports and schedule all requested meetings. The Organiser will provide Mentor with templates for the documents to be produced. Mentors and Participants will meet again at the closing bootcamp, held in October/November 2018, that will official seal the closing of their mentoring relationship.
At the end of the coaching service, Mentor will fill in a questionnaire on the coaching service and the overall experience and will also be subject to a specific questionnaire compiled by Participants.
3 Payment
The Organiser will reimburse Mentor the travel arrangements and accommodation for the Acceleration Bootcamp in Tallinn in 2017 (a maximum of EUR 800) and the closing bootcamp in 2018 (a maximum of EUR 700). The coaching service provided by Mentor is worth a maximum fee of EUR 5,000 (VAT excluded) per Participant coached, that will be remunerated to Mentor at the end of the programme, after the submission and approval of the final summary report of the coaching relationships. Payment shall be made within 30 days from the receipt of invoice, and following the invoice verification by Organiser. No deductions will be made from the gross fees paid to mentor who shall be solely responsible for ensuring that all and any Government taxes and other deductions are paid by him/her.

To actively participate in the Copernicus Accelerator programme, Mentor commits to the following Non-Disclosure-Agreement and Terms of Participation.
1 Eligibility
Mentor is a resident of one of the Copernicus participating countries1 or is employed with a legal identity registered in the territory of one of the Copernicus participating countries, willing to support and help develop the Ideas of the finalists of the Copernicus Masters 2017 (hereinafter “Participants”). Professionals who pursue becoming mentors need to apply via the dedicated platform, inserting all required details, which can be edited anytime by Mentor. Their request needs to be validated by the Organiser and the European Commission, who can refuse participation in case of non-eligibility or conflict of interest. After verification of all details entered, the Organiser will notify the Mentor about the outcome of his/her submission.
Even after validation, the Organiser cannot guarantee that there will be an actual match between Mentor and Participants. Mentor confirms that Mentor has not been involved in the development of any of the Ideas to be coached at any stage and that Mentor has no personal or commercial connection to any Participant of the Copernicus Accelerator that would influence an objective development of Ideas.
1 The Copernicus Participating countries include all the EU Member States, in addition to Norway and Iceland.
2 Procedure and Terms of Participation
The Copernicus Accelerator programme is comprised of different phases, for a total coaching support of approximately one year, aimed at helping Participants´ Ideas achieving measurable results. When submitting the request to become Mentor, Mentor needs to specify in which fields he/she can support Participants, in order to allow a suitable matchmaking with the requests and needs communicated by Participants.
When a Mentor is requested by a Participant of the programme, he/she can access the Participant's profile and examine the submitted idea, in order to decide whether to confirm the request or not. Mentors can only advise up to two participants.
Mentors will meet the Participants at the Accelerator Bootcamp, that will take place in line with the Awards Ceremony of the Copernicus Masters, the European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC), and the accompanying Satellite Masters Conference from 6 - 8 November 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia. Mentor´s participation to this event is mandatory, as it will set forth the official start of their relationship: Mentor and Participants will begin developing a coaching plan together, that will include objectives and KPIs of their affiliation.
Monthly virtual interactions need to be planned by Mentor, to ensure a continuous acceleration of the Participants Ideas´ towards business maturity. A mid-term review and survey will be required by April 2018, to evaluate progress made and ensure that the recommendations of the coaching plan are currently implemented by Participants. In case of a non-positive matching or non-compliance to his/her assigned duties (having monthly interactions with the mentees, keeping contacts with the Copernicus Accelerator team, promptly informing the organizers about any relevant issue connected to the coaching relationship), Mentor may be replaced by a more suitable candidate for the Participants´ needs.
Mentor will actively support Participants until July 2018, and will then submit a final report together, detailing the outcome of the coaching experience. The Organiser will continuously monitor all relationships, in order to assist both parties and guarantee a positive outcome of the programme. Mentor needs to deliver all requested reports and schedule all requested meetings. The Organiser will provide Mentor with templates for the documents to be produced. Mentors and Participants will meet again at the closing bootcamp, held in October/November 2018, that will official seal the closing of their mentoring relationship.
At the end of the coaching service, Mentor will fill in a questionnaire on the coaching service and the overall experience and will also be subject to a specific questionnaire compiled by Participants.
3 Payment
The Organiser will reimburse Mentor the travel arrangements and accommodation for the Acceleration Bootcamp in Tallinn in 2017 (a maximum of EUR 800) and the closing bootcamp in 2018 (a maximum of EUR 700). The coaching service provided by Mentor is worth a maximum fee of EUR 5,000 (VAT excluded) per Participant coached, that will be remunerated to Mentor at the end of the programme, after the submission and approval of the final summary report of the coaching relationships. Payment shall be made within 30 days from the receipt of invoice, and following the invoice verification by Organiser.

Preamble
The Organiser of the Copernicus Masters and the Copernicus Accelerator 2017 is Anwendungszentrum GmbH Oberpfaffenhofen (hereinafter “Organiser”). The Earth monitoring competition Copernicus Masters aims to support the development of market-oriented applications based on Earth observation data. In 2017, the Copernicus Masters is again enriched by the Copernicus Accelerator, a European Commission programme. Through this initiative, the 50 best finalists of the Copernicus Masters, selected by an international expert panel will automatically be granted access to a business coaching scheme provided by high-level professionals, that will act as mentors. To actively participate in the Copernicus Accelerator programme, Mentor commits to the following Non-Disclosure-Agreement and Terms of Participation.
1 Eligibility
Mentor is a resident of one of the Copernicus participating countries1 or is employed with a legal identity registered in the territory of one of the Copernicus participating countries, willing to support and help develop the Ideas of the finalists of the Copernicus Masters 2017 (hereinafter “Participants”). Professionals who pursue becoming mentors need to apply via the dedicated platform, inserting all required details, which can be edited anytime by Mentor. Their request needs to be validated by the Organiser and the European Commission, who can refuse participation in case of non-eligibility or conflict of interest. After verification of all details entered, the Organiser will notify the Mentor about the outcome of his/her submission.
Even after validation, the Organiser cannot guarantee that there will be an actual match between Mentor and Participants. Mentor confirms that Mentor has not been involved in the development of any of the Ideas to be coached at any stage and that Mentor has no personal or commercial connection to any Participant of the Copernicus Accelerator that would influence an objective development of Ideas.
1 The Copernicus Participating countries include all the EU Member States, in addition to Norway and Iceland.
2 Procedure and Terms of Participation
The Copernicus Accelerator programme is comprised of different phases, for a total coaching support of approximately one year, aimed at helping Participants´ Ideas achieving measurable results. When submitting the request to become Mentor, Mentor needs to specify in which fields he/she can support Participants, in order to allow a suitable matchmaking with the requests and needs communicated by Participants.
When a Mentor is requested by a Participant of the programme, he/she can access the Participant's profile and examine the submitted idea, in order to decide whether to confirm the request or not. Mentors can only advise up to two participants.
Mentors will meet the Participants at the Accelerator Bootcamp, that will take place in line with the Awards Ceremony of the Copernicus Masters, the European Satellite Navigation Competition (ESNC), and the accompanying Satellite Masters Conference from 6 - 8 November 2017 in Tallinn, Estonia. Mentor´s participation to this event is mandatory, as it will set forth the official start of their relationship: Mentor and Participants will begin developing a coaching plan together, that will include objectives and KPIs of their affiliation.
Monthly virtual interactions need to be planned by Mentor, to ensure a continuous acceleration of the Participants Ideas´ towards business maturity. A mid-term review and survey will be required by April 2018, to evaluate progress made and ensure that the recommendations of the coaching plan are currently implemented by Participants. In case of a non-positive matching or non-compliance to his/her assigned duties (having monthly interactions with the mentees, keeping contacts with the Copernicus Accelerator team, promptly informing the organizers about any relevant issue connected to the coaching relationship), Mentor may be replaced by a more suitable candidate for the Participants´ needs.
Mentor will actively support Participants until July 2018, and will then submit a final report together, detailing the outcome of the coaching experience. The Organiser will continuously monitor all relationships, in order to assist both parties and guarantee a positive outcome of the programme. Mentor needs to deliver all requested reports and schedule all requested meetings. The Organiser will provide Mentor with templates for the documents to be produced. Mentors and Participants will meet again at the closing bootcamp, held in October/November 2018, that will official seal the closing of their mentoring relationship.
At the end of the coaching service, Mentor will fill in a questionnaire on the coaching service and the overall experience and will also be subject to a specific questionnaire compiled by Participants.
3 Payment
The Organiser will reimburse Mentor the travel arrangements and accommodation for the Acceleration Bootcamp in Tallinn in 2017 (a maximum of EUR 800) and the closing bootcamp in 2018 (a maximum of EUR 700). The coaching service provided by Mentor is worth a maximum fee of EUR 5,000 (VAT excluded) per Participant coached, that will be remunerated to Mentor at the end of the programme, after the submission and approval of the final summary report of the coaching relationships. Payment shall be made within 30 days from the receipt of invoice, and following the invoice verification by Organiser. No deductions will be made from the gross fees paid to mentor who shall be solely responsible for ensuring that all and any Government taxes and other deductions are paid by him/her.
4 Definition of Confidential Information

Each party further acknowledges that any breach by Mentor of Mentor’s covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement or threatened violation of such may cause irreparable injury to Organiser and to Participants.

This Agreement contains the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of every nature between them. This Agreement may not be changed or modified, except by an agreement in writing, signed by both
of the parties.
The failure or delay on the part of either party to exercise any right under this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any rights under this Agreement.
Mentor is aware that an unauthorised disclosure of the Ideas and of the assessment and development of the Ideas and of any Confidential Information may lead to serious damage to Participants and the Organiser of the Copernicus Accelerator 2017. This Agreement shall be for the benefit of the Participants.

Text: Mutual Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement
to Support Emergency Cyber Mutual Assistance
This Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement (the "Agreement'') is made and entered into as of this 15th day of June, 2016 by and among each entity that executes and delivers the signature page to this Agreement (each, a "Participating Entity" and collectively, the "Participating Entities").
A. Each Participating Entity is participating in a voluntary effort to assist the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council (ESCC) in developing and implementing one or more industry initiatives to provide cyber emergency assistance to entities in the electric sector (collectively, the “Cyber Mutual Assistance Program”).
B. In connection with the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, each Participating Entity may voluntarily choose to request from or provide to another Participating Entity emergency cyber mutual assistance in response to a cyber emergency;
C. The development and implementation of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities, may necessitate the exchange of certain confidential or proprietary information.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants in this Agreement, the Participating Entities agree as follows:
1. Purpose, Scope, and Definitions. The purpose of this Agreement is to permit each Participating Entity to exchange Confidential Information (as defined below) as needed to pursue the development and implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities in response to a cyber emergency or in connection with any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program.
“Confidential Information” under this Agreement consists of:
(i) all information disclosed by any Participating Entity, or any of its employees, directors, officers, affiliates, partners, agents, advisors or other representatives (“Representatives”) pursuant to that Participating Entity’s participation in or contribution to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance, whether disclosed prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(ii) any information or documentation produced by a Participating Entity, or any of its Representatives, under any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or related to a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including any analysis of such information, and whether produced prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(iii) any aggregation, consolidation, or listing of information or documentation disclosed by one or more Participating Entities, or any of their respective Representatives, pursuant to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance; and
(iv) all observations of equipment (including computer screens) and oral disclosures related to the development of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including the systems, operations, and activities of each Participating Entity, whether such observations or oral disclosures were made prior to or following the execution of this Agreement.
2. Non-Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information. Each Participating Entity agrees (i) to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information obtained, (ii) without the express permission of the Participating Entity providing such information, not to disclose such information to third parties, and (iii) to use such information only for the express purpose of developing and implementing a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including in connection with any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities. Each Participating Entity shall use the Confidential Information received hereunder only for the purposes identified in Section 1. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a Participating Entity may use and internally share Confidential Information as deemed necessary to respond to an actual or threatened cyber emergency that places, or has the potential to place, the Participating Entity’s cyber systems at risk. Any other use shall be only with the prior written consent of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities that provided the Confidential Information sought to be used.
3. Exemptions to Non-Disclosure. Notwithstanding Sections 1 and 2, a Participating Entity shall not have breached any obligation under this Agreement if the Confidential Information is disclosed to a third party when the Confidential Information:
(a) was in the public domain at the time of such disclosure or is subsequently made available to the public by the Participating Entity who provided the Confidential Information, or otherwise consistent with the terms of this Agreement; or
(b) had been received or independently developed by such Participating Entity at or prior to the time of disclosure through a process other than the development or implementation of the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program; or
(c) is subsequently disclosed to the Participating Entity by a third party without restriction on use and without breach of any agreement or legal duty; or
(d) subject to the provisions of Section 4, is used or disclosed pursuant to statutory duty, such as a public records act request, or an order, subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process issued by a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or in a judicial proceeding; or
(e) is disclosed by unanimous agreement of each of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure; or
(f) after the time of its disclosure hereunder, becomes subsequently available to such Participating Entity on a non-confidential basis from a source not known by such Participating Entity to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or secrecy obligation in respect thereof.
4. Notice of Pending Third-Party Disclosure or Unauthorized Disclosure.
(a) In the event that any governmental authority issues an order, subpoena, or other lawful process or a Participating Entity receives a discovery request in a civil proceeding ("Legal Process") requiring the disclosure of any Confidential Information, the Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall notify in writing the other Participating Entities within five (5) business days of receipt. The Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall not be in violation of this Agreement if it complies with the Legal Process requiring disclosure of the Confidential Information after seven (7) business days following Participating Entity notification, as set forth above.
(b) A Participating Entity shall not disclose any Confidential Information in response to a request under the federal Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended, or an equivalent state or local open records law, except as required by law as determined in the written opinion of such Participating Entity’s legal counsel. Upon receipt of a Freedom of Information Act or public records disclosure request, such Participating Entity shall: (i) notify each Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request immediately upon receipt of a request for public records that include all or part of the Confidential Information; and (ii) if, in the written opinion of the legal counsel for the Participating Entity receiving the information request, the Confidential Information is not legally required to be disclosed, treat the requested Confidential Information as exempt from disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Participating Entity receiving the information request shall cooperate with the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request in challenging the request or seeking another appropriate remedy, as necessary. If such challenge to the request is not successful and another remedy is not obtained, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, as determined in the written opinion of the Participating Entity’s legal counsel, shall be disclosed.
(c) Unauthorized Disclosure: If a Participating Entity becomes aware that Confidential Information has been or likely has been disclosed to a third party in violation of this Agreement, the Participating Entity will immediately notify the Participating Entity in writing that provided the disclosed Confidential Information, provide a description of the information disclosed, and provide reasonable assistance to the Participating Entity that provided the disclosed Confidential Information to recover the Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized disclosure.
5. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect as to each Participating Entity unless and until a Participating Entity seeking to withdraw from the agreement provides ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the other Participating Entities, then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Participating Entity at the conclusion of such ten (10) day period; provided, however, that termination shall not extinguish any claim, liability, or cause of action under this Agreement existing at the time of termination. The provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years.
6. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, all Confidential Information in the possession or control of a Participating Entity and its Representatives that received such information shall be returned to the Participating Entity that disclosed the information, including all copies of such information in any form whatsoever, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Participating Entity that disclosed the information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Confidential Information is retained in the computer backup system of a Participating Entity, the Confidential Information will be destroyed in accordance with the regular ongoing records retention process of the Participating Entity. In lieu of return, a Participating Entity may certify to the other Participating Entities in writing that all such Confidential Information, in any form whatsoever, has been destroyed. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 6 to the contrary, a Participating Entity may retain a record copy of any Confidential Information if required to do so by applicable law. In such an instance, such Participating Entity shall identify in writing the specific Confidential Information retained, and shall provide the affected Participating Entity or Participating Entities with a written commitment to return or destroy the retained Confidential Information upon the expiration of the retention period required by law. The obligation under this Agreement to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information shall continue to apply to such retained Confidential Information for so long as the Participating Entity possesses such Confidential Information.
7. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, unless otherwise agreed by the Participating Entities, and shall be delivered in person or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, by overnight delivery, or by electronic mail or electronic facsimile transmission with an original sent immediately thereafter by postage prepaid mail, and properly addressed with respect to a particular Participating Entity, to such Participating Entity’s representative as set forth on such Participating Entity’s signature page to this Agreement. A Participating Entity may from time to time change its representative or address for the purpose of notices to that Participating Entity by a similar notice specifying a new representative or address, but no such change shall be deemed to have been given until such notice is actually received by the Participating Entity being so notified.
8. Complete Agreement; No Other Rights. This Agreement contains the complete and exclusive agreement of the Participating Entities with respect to the subject matter thereof. No change to this Agreement shall be effective unless agreed to in writing by all of the then existing Participating Entities. This Agreement is not intended to create any right in or obligation of any Participating Entity or third party other than those expressly stated herein.
9. No Warranties or Representations. Any Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement carries no warranty or representation of any kind, either express or implied. A Participating Entity receiving such Confidential Information shall not be entitled to rely on the accuracy, completeness, or quality of the Confidential Information, even for the purpose stated in Section 1.
10. Injunctive Relief. Each Participating Entity agrees that, in addition to whatever other remedies may be available to the other Participating Entities under applicable law, the other Participating Entities shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief with respect to any actual or threatened violation of this Agreement by a Participating Entity or any third party receiving Confidential Information.
11. Choice of Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflicts of law provision or rule that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.
12. Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Participating Entities, their successors, and assigns. No Participating Entity may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Participating Entities.

Text: Mutual Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement
to Support Emergency Cyber Mutual Assistance
This Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement (the "Agreement'') is made and entered into as of this 15th day of June, 2016 by and among each entity that executes and delivers the signature page to this Agreement (each, a "Participating Entity" and collectively, the "Participating Entities").
A. Each Participating Entity is participating in a voluntary effort to assist the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council (ESCC) in developing and implementing one or more industry initiatives to provide cyber emergency assistance to entities in the electric sector (collectively, the “Cyber Mutual Assistance Program”).
B. In connection with the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, each Participating Entity may voluntarily choose to request from or provide to another Participating Entity emergency cyber mutual assistance in response to a cyber emergency;
C. The development and implementation of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities, may necessitate the exchange of certain confidential or proprietary information.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants in this Agreement, the Participating Entities agree as follows:
1. Purpose, Scope, and Definitions. The purpose of this Agreement is to permit each Participating Entity to exchange Confidential Information (as defined below) as needed to pursue the development and implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities in response to a cyber emergency or in connection with any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program.
“Confidential Information” under this Agreement consists of:
(i) all information disclosed by any Participating Entity, or any of its employees, directors, officers, affiliates, partners, agents, advisors or other representatives (“Representatives”) pursuant to that Participating Entity’s participation in or contribution to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance, whether disclosed prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(ii) any information or documentation produced by a Participating Entity, or any of its Representatives, under any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or related to a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including any analysis of such information, and whether produced prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(iii) any aggregation, consolidation, or listing of information or documentation disclosed by one or more Participating Entities, or any of their respective Representatives, pursuant to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance; and
(iv) all observations of equipment (including computer screens) and oral disclosures related to the development of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including the systems, operations, and activities of each Participating Entity, whether such observations or oral disclosures were made prior to or following the execution of this Agreement.
2. Non-Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information. Each Participating Entity agrees (i) to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information obtained, (ii) without the express permission of the Participating Entity providing such information, not to disclose such information to third parties, and (iii) to use such information only for the express purpose of developing and implementing a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including in connection with any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities. Each Participating Entity shall use the Confidential Information received hereunder only for the purposes identified in Section 1. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a Participating Entity may use and internally share Confidential Information as deemed necessary to respond to an actual or threatened cyber emergency that places, or has the potential to place, the Participating Entity’s cyber systems at risk. Any other use shall be only with the prior written consent of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities that provided the Confidential Information sought to be used.
3. Exemptions to Non-Disclosure. Notwithstanding Sections 1 and 2, a Participating Entity shall not have breached any obligation under this Agreement if the Confidential Information is disclosed to a third party when the Confidential Information:
(a) was in the public domain at the time of such disclosure or is subsequently made available to the public by the Participating Entity who provided the Confidential Information, or otherwise consistent with the terms of this Agreement; or
(b) had been received or independently developed by such Participating Entity at or prior to the time of disclosure through a process other than the development or implementation of the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program; or
(c) is subsequently disclosed to the Participating Entity by a third party without restriction on use and without breach of any agreement or legal duty; or
(d) subject to the provisions of Section 4, is used or disclosed pursuant to statutory duty, such as a public records act request, or an order, subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process issued by a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or in a judicial proceeding; or
(e) is disclosed by unanimous agreement of each of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure; or
(f) after the time of its disclosure hereunder, becomes subsequently available to such Participating Entity on a non-confidential basis from a source not known by such Participating Entity to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or secrecy obligation in respect thereof.
4. Notice of Pending Third-Party Disclosure or Unauthorized Disclosure.
(a) In the event that any governmental authority issues an order, subpoena, or other lawful process or a Participating Entity receives a discovery request in a civil proceeding ("Legal Process") requiring the disclosure of any Confidential Information, the Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall notify in writing the other Participating Entities within five (5) business days of receipt. The Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall not be in violation of this Agreement if it complies with the Legal Process requiring disclosure of the Confidential Information after seven (7) business days following Participating Entity notification, as set forth above.
(b) A Participating Entity shall not disclose any Confidential Information in response to a request under the federal Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended, or an equivalent state or local open records law, except as required by law as determined in the written opinion of such Participating Entity’s legal counsel. Upon receipt of a Freedom of Information Act or public records disclosure request, such Participating Entity shall: (i) notify each Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request immediately upon receipt of a request for public records that include all or part of the Confidential Information; and (ii) if, in the written opinion of the legal counsel for the Participating Entity receiving the information request, the Confidential Information is not legally required to be disclosed, treat the requested Confidential Information as exempt from disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Participating Entity receiving the information request shall cooperate with the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request in challenging the request or seeking another appropriate remedy, as necessary. If such challenge to the request is not successful and another remedy is not obtained, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, as determined in the written opinion of the Participating Entity’s legal counsel, shall be disclosed.
(c) Unauthorized Disclosure: If a Participating Entity becomes aware that Confidential Information has been or likely has been disclosed to a third party in violation of this Agreement, the Participating Entity will immediately notify the Participating Entity in writing that provided the disclosed Confidential Information, provide a description of the information disclosed, and provide reasonable assistance to the Participating Entity that provided the disclosed Confidential Information to recover the Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized disclosure.
5. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect as to each Participating Entity unless and until a Participating Entity seeking to withdraw from the agreement provides ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the other Participating Entities, then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Participating Entity at the conclusion of such ten (10) day period; provided, however, that termination shall not extinguish any claim, liability, or cause of action under this Agreement existing at the time of termination. The provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years.
6. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, all Confidential Information in the possession or control of a Participating Entity and its Representatives that received such information shall be returned to the Participating Entity that disclosed the information, including all copies of such information in any form whatsoever, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Participating Entity that disclosed the information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Confidential Information is retained in the computer backup system of a Participating Entity, the Confidential Information will be destroyed in accordance with the regular ongoing records retention process of the Participating Entity. In lieu of return, a Participating Entity may certify to the other Participating Entities in writing that all such Confidential Information, in any form whatsoever, has been destroyed. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 6 to the contrary, a Participating Entity may retain a record copy of any Confidential Information if required to do so by applicable law. In such an instance, such Participating Entity shall identify in writing the specific Confidential Information retained, and shall provide the affected Participating Entity or Participating Entities with a written commitment to return or destroy the retained Confidential Information upon the expiration of the retention period required by law. The obligation under this Agreement to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information shall continue to apply to such retained Confidential Information for so long as the Participating Entity possesses such Confidential Information.
7. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, unless otherwise agreed by the Participating Entities, and shall be delivered in person or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, by overnight delivery, or by electronic mail or electronic facsimile transmission with an original sent immediately thereafter by postage prepaid mail, and properly addressed with respect to a particular Participating Entity, to such Participating Entity’s representative as set forth on such Participating Entity’s signature page to this Agreement. A Participating Entity may from time to time change its representative or address for the purpose of notices to that Participating Entity by a similar notice specifying a new representative or address, but no such change shall be deemed to have been given until such notice is actually received by the Participating Entity being so notified.
8. Complete Agreement; No Other Rights. This Agreement contains the complete and exclusive agreement of the Participating Entities with respect to the subject matter thereof. No change to this Agreement shall be effective unless agreed to in writing by all of the then existing Participating Entities. This Agreement is not intended to create any right in or obligation of any Participating Entity or third party other than those expressly stated herein.

A Participating Entity receiving such Confidential Information shall not be entitled to rely on the accuracy, completeness, or quality of the Confidential Information, even for the purpose stated in Section 1.
10. Injunctive Relief. Each Participating Entity agrees that, in addition to whatever other remedies may be available to the other Participating Entities under applicable law, the other Participating Entities shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief with respect to any actual or threatened violation of this Agreement by a Participating Entity or any third party receiving Confidential Information.
11. Choice of Law and Forum. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York without giving effect to any choice or conflicts of law provision or rule that would cause the application of laws of any other jurisdiction.

Text: Mutual Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement
to Support Emergency Cyber Mutual Assistance
This Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement (the "Agreement'') is made and entered into as of this 15th day of June, 2016 by and among each entity that executes and delivers the signature page to this Agreement (each, a "Participating Entity" and collectively, the "Participating Entities").
A. Each Participating Entity is participating in a voluntary effort to assist the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council (ESCC) in developing and implementing one or more industry initiatives to provide cyber emergency assistance to entities in the electric sector (collectively, the “Cyber Mutual Assistance Program”).
B. In connection with the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, each Participating Entity may voluntarily choose to request from or provide to another Participating Entity emergency cyber mutual assistance in response to a cyber emergency;
C. The development and implementation of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities, may necessitate the exchange of certain confidential or proprietary information.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants in this Agreement, the Participating Entities agree as follows:
1. Purpose, Scope, and Definitions. The purpose of this Agreement is to permit each Participating Entity to exchange Confidential Information (as defined below) as needed to pursue the development and implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities in response to a cyber emergency or in connection with any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program.
“Confidential Information” under this Agreement consists of:
(i) all information disclosed by any Participating Entity, or any of its employees, directors, officers, affiliates, partners, agents, advisors or other representatives (“Representatives”) pursuant to that Participating Entity’s participation in or contribution to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance, whether disclosed prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(ii) any information or documentation produced by a Participating Entity, or any of its Representatives, under any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or related to a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including any analysis of such information, and whether produced prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(iii) any aggregation, consolidation, or listing of information or documentation disclosed by one or more Participating Entities, or any of their respective Representatives, pursuant to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance; and
(iv) all observations of equipment (including computer screens) and oral disclosures related to the development of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including the systems, operations, and activities of each Participating Entity, whether such observations or oral disclosures were made prior to or following the execution of this Agreement.
2. Non-Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information. Each Participating Entity agrees (i) to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information obtained, (ii) without the express permission of the Participating Entity providing such information, not to disclose such information to third parties, and (iii) to use such information only for the express purpose of developing and implementing a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including in connection with any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities. Each Participating Entity shall use the Confidential Information received hereunder only for the purposes identified in Section 1. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a Participating Entity may use and internally share Confidential Information as deemed necessary to respond to an actual or threatened cyber emergency that places, or has the potential to place, the Participating Entity’s cyber systems at risk. Any other use shall be only with the prior written consent of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities that provided the Confidential Information sought to be used.
3. Exemptions to Non-Disclosure. Notwithstanding Sections 1 and 2, a Participating Entity shall not have breached any obligation under this Agreement if the Confidential Information is disclosed to a third party when the Confidential Information:
(a) was in the public domain at the time of such disclosure or is subsequently made available to the public by the Participating Entity who provided the Confidential Information, or otherwise consistent with the terms of this Agreement; or
(b) had been received or independently developed by such Participating Entity at or prior to the time of disclosure through a process other than the development or implementation of the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program; or
(c) is subsequently disclosed to the Participating Entity by a third party without restriction on use and without breach of any agreement or legal duty; or
(d) subject to the provisions of Section 4, is used or disclosed pursuant to statutory duty, such as a public records act request, or an order, subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process issued by a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or in a judicial proceeding; or
(e) is disclosed by unanimous agreement of each of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure; or
(f) after the time of its disclosure hereunder, becomes subsequently available to such Participating Entity on a non-confidential basis from a source not known by such Participating Entity to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or secrecy obligation in respect thereof.
4. Notice of Pending Third-Party Disclosure or Unauthorized Disclosure.
(a) In the event that any governmental authority issues an order, subpoena, or other lawful process or a Participating Entity receives a discovery request in a civil proceeding ("Legal Process") requiring the disclosure of any Confidential Information, the Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall notify in writing the other Participating Entities within five (5) business days of receipt. The Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall not be in violation of this Agreement if it complies with the Legal Process requiring disclosure of the Confidential Information after seven (7) business days following Participating Entity notification, as set forth above.
(b) A Participating Entity shall not disclose any Confidential Information in response to a request under the federal Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended, or an equivalent state or local open records law, except as required by law as determined in the written opinion of such Participating Entity’s legal counsel. Upon receipt of a Freedom of Information Act or public records disclosure request, such Participating Entity shall: (i) notify each Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request immediately upon receipt of a request for public records that include all or part of the Confidential Information; and (ii) if, in the written opinion of the legal counsel for the Participating Entity receiving the information request, the Confidential Information is not legally required to be disclosed, treat the requested Confidential Information as exempt from disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Participating Entity receiving the information request shall cooperate with the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request in challenging the request or seeking another appropriate remedy, as necessary. If such challenge to the request is not successful and another remedy is not obtained, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, as determined in the written opinion of the Participating Entity’s legal counsel, shall be disclosed.
(c) Unauthorized Disclosure: If a Participating Entity becomes aware that Confidential Information has been or likely has been disclosed to a third party in violation of this Agreement, the Participating Entity will immediately notify the Participating Entity in writing that provided the disclosed Confidential Information, provide a description of the information disclosed, and provide reasonable assistance to the Participating Entity that provided the disclosed Confidential Information to recover the Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized disclosure.
5. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect as to each Participating Entity unless and until a Participating Entity seeking to withdraw from the agreement provides ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the other Participating Entities, then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Participating Entity at the conclusion of such ten (10) day period; provided, however, that termination shall not extinguish any claim, liability, or cause of action under this Agreement existing at the time of termination. The provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years.
6. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, all Confidential Information in the possession or control of a Participating Entity and its Representatives that received such information shall be returned to the Participating Entity that disclosed the information, including all copies of such information in any form whatsoever, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Participating Entity that disclosed the information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Confidential Information is retained in the computer backup system of a Participating Entity, the Confidential Information will be destroyed in accordance with the regular ongoing records retention process of the Participating Entity. In lieu of return, a Participating Entity may certify to the other Participating Entities in writing that all such Confidential Information, in any form whatsoever, has been destroyed. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 6 to the contrary, a Participating Entity may retain a record copy of any Confidential Information if required to do so by applicable law. In such an instance, such Participating Entity shall identify in writing the specific Confidential Information retained, and shall provide the affected Participating Entity or Participating Entities with a written commitment to return or destroy the retained Confidential Information upon the expiration of the retention period required by law. The obligation under this Agreement to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information shall continue to apply to such retained Confidential Information for so long as the Participating Entity possesses such Confidential Information.
7. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, unless otherwise agreed by the Participating Entities, and shall be delivered in person or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, by overnight delivery, or by electronic mail or electronic facsimile transmission with an original sent immediately thereafter by postage prepaid mail, and properly addressed with respect to a particular Participating Entity, to such Participating Entity’s representative as set forth on such Participating Entity’s signature page to this Agreement. A Participating Entity may from time to time change its representative or address for the purpose of notices to that Participating Entity by a similar notice specifying a new representative or address, but no such change shall be deemed to have been given until such notice is actually received by the Participating Entity being so notified.
8. Complete Agreement; No Other Rights. This Agreement contains the complete and exclusive agreement of the Participating Entities with respect to the subject matter thereof. No change to this Agreement shall be effective unless agreed to in writing by all of the then existing Participating Entities. This Agreement is not intended to create any right in or obligation of any Participating Entity or third party other than those expressly stated herein.

A Participating Entity receiving such Confidential Information shall not be entitled to rely on the accuracy, completeness, or quality of the Confidential Information, even for the purpose stated in Section 1.
10. Injunctive Relief. Each Participating Entity agrees that, in addition to whatever other remedies may be available to the other Participating Entities under applicable law, the other Participating Entities shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief with respect to any actual or threatened violation of this Agreement by a Participating Entity or any third party receiving Confidential Information.

Text: Mutual Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement
to Support Emergency Cyber Mutual Assistance
This Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement (the "Agreement'') is made and entered into as of this 15th day of June, 2016 by and among each entity that executes and delivers the signature page to this Agreement (each, a "Participating Entity" and collectively, the "Participating Entities").
A. Each Participating Entity is participating in a voluntary effort to assist the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council (ESCC) in developing and implementing one or more industry initiatives to provide cyber emergency assistance to entities in the electric sector (collectively, the “Cyber Mutual Assistance Program”).
B. In connection with the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, each Participating Entity may voluntarily choose to request from or provide to another Participating Entity emergency cyber mutual assistance in response to a cyber emergency;
C. The development and implementation of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities, may necessitate the exchange of certain confidential or proprietary information.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants in this Agreement, the Participating Entities agree as follows:
1. Purpose, Scope, and Definitions. The purpose of this Agreement is to permit each Participating Entity to exchange Confidential Information (as defined below) as needed to pursue the development and implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities in response to a cyber emergency or in connection with any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program.
“Confidential Information” under this Agreement consists of:
(i) all information disclosed by any Participating Entity, or any of its employees, directors, officers, affiliates, partners, agents, advisors or other representatives (“Representatives”) pursuant to that Participating Entity’s participation in or contribution to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance, whether disclosed prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(ii) any information or documentation produced by a Participating Entity, or any of its Representatives, under any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or related to a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including any analysis of such information, and whether produced prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(iii) any aggregation, consolidation, or listing of information or documentation disclosed by one or more Participating Entities, or any of their respective Representatives, pursuant to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance; and
(iv) all observations of equipment (including computer screens) and oral disclosures related to the development of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including the systems, operations, and activities of each Participating Entity, whether such observations or oral disclosures were made prior to or following the execution of this Agreement.
2. Non-Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information. Each Participating Entity agrees (i) to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information obtained, (ii) without the express permission of the Participating Entity providing such information, not to disclose such information to third parties, and (iii) to use such information only for the express purpose of developing and implementing a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including in connection with any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities. Each Participating Entity shall use the Confidential Information received hereunder only for the purposes identified in Section 1. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a Participating Entity may use and internally share Confidential Information as deemed necessary to respond to an actual or threatened cyber emergency that places, or has the potential to place, the Participating Entity’s cyber systems at risk. Any other use shall be only with the prior written consent of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities that provided the Confidential Information sought to be used.
3. Exemptions to Non-Disclosure. Notwithstanding Sections 1 and 2, a Participating Entity shall not have breached any obligation under this Agreement if the Confidential Information is disclosed to a third party when the Confidential Information:
(a) was in the public domain at the time of such disclosure or is subsequently made available to the public by the Participating Entity who provided the Confidential Information, or otherwise consistent with the terms of this Agreement; or
(b) had been received or independently developed by such Participating Entity at or prior to the time of disclosure through a process other than the development or implementation of the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program; or
(c) is subsequently disclosed to the Participating Entity by a third party without restriction on use and without breach of any agreement or legal duty; or
(d) subject to the provisions of Section 4, is used or disclosed pursuant to statutory duty, such as a public records act request, or an order, subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process issued by a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or in a judicial proceeding; or
(e) is disclosed by unanimous agreement of each of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure; or
(f) after the time of its disclosure hereunder, becomes subsequently available to such Participating Entity on a non-confidential basis from a source not known by such Participating Entity to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or secrecy obligation in respect thereof.
4. Notice of Pending Third-Party Disclosure or Unauthorized Disclosure.
(a) In the event that any governmental authority issues an order, subpoena, or other lawful process or a Participating Entity receives a discovery request in a civil proceeding ("Legal Process") requiring the disclosure of any Confidential Information, the Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall notify in writing the other Participating Entities within five (5) business days of receipt. The Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall not be in violation of this Agreement if it complies with the Legal Process requiring disclosure of the Confidential Information after seven (7) business days following Participating Entity notification, as set forth above.
(b) A Participating Entity shall not disclose any Confidential Information in response to a request under the federal Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended, or an equivalent state or local open records law, except as required by law as determined in the written opinion of such Participating Entity’s legal counsel. Upon receipt of a Freedom of Information Act or public records disclosure request, such Participating Entity shall: (i) notify each Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request immediately upon receipt of a request for public records that include all or part of the Confidential Information; and (ii) if, in the written opinion of the legal counsel for the Participating Entity receiving the information request, the Confidential Information is not legally required to be disclosed, treat the requested Confidential Information as exempt from disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Participating Entity receiving the information request shall cooperate with the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request in challenging the request or seeking another appropriate remedy, as necessary. If such challenge to the request is not successful and another remedy is not obtained, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, as determined in the written opinion of the Participating Entity’s legal counsel, shall be disclosed.
(c) Unauthorized Disclosure: If a Participating Entity becomes aware that Confidential Information has been or likely has been disclosed to a third party in violation of this Agreement, the Participating Entity will immediately notify the Participating Entity in writing that provided the disclosed Confidential Information, provide a description of the information disclosed, and provide reasonable assistance to the Participating Entity that provided the disclosed Confidential Information to recover the Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized disclosure.
5. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect as to each Participating Entity unless and until a Participating Entity seeking to withdraw from the agreement provides ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the other Participating Entities, then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Participating Entity at the conclusion of such ten (10) day period; provided, however, that termination shall not extinguish any claim, liability, or cause of action under this Agreement existing at the time of termination. The provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years.
6. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, all Confidential Information in the possession or control of a Participating Entity and its Representatives that received such information shall be returned to the Participating Entity that disclosed the information, including all copies of such information in any form whatsoever, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Participating Entity that disclosed the information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Confidential Information is retained in the computer backup system of a Participating Entity, the Confidential Information will be destroyed in accordance with the regular ongoing records retention process of the Participating Entity. In lieu of return, a Participating Entity may certify to the other Participating Entities in writing that all such Confidential Information, in any form whatsoever, has been destroyed. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 6 to the contrary, a Participating Entity may retain a record copy of any Confidential Information if required to do so by applicable law. In such an instance, such Participating Entity shall identify in writing the specific Confidential Information retained, and shall provide the affected Participating Entity or Participating Entities with a written commitment to return or destroy the retained Confidential Information upon the expiration of the retention period required by law. The obligation under this Agreement to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information shall continue to apply to such retained Confidential Information for so long as the Participating Entity possesses such Confidential Information.
7. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, unless otherwise agreed by the Participating Entities, and shall be delivered in person or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, by overnight delivery, or by electronic mail or electronic facsimile transmission with an original sent immediately thereafter by postage prepaid mail, and properly addressed with respect to a particular Participating Entity, to such Participating Entity’s representative as set forth on such Participating Entity’s signature page to this Agreement. A Participating Entity may from time to time change its representative or address for the purpose of notices to that Participating Entity by a similar notice specifying a new representative or address, but no such change shall be deemed to have been given until such notice is actually received by the Participating Entity being so notified.
8. Complete Agreement; No Other Rights. This Agreement contains the complete and exclusive agreement of the Participating Entities with respect to the subject matter thereof. No change to this Agreement shall be effective unless agreed to in writing by all of the then existing Participating Entities. This Agreement is not intended to create any right in or obligation of any Participating Entity or third party other than those expressly stated herein.

Text: Mutual Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement
to Support Emergency Cyber Mutual Assistance
This Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement (the "Agreement'') is made and entered into as of this 15th day of June, 2016 by and among each entity that executes and delivers the signature page to this Agreement (each, a "Participating Entity" and collectively, the "Participating Entities").
A. Each Participating Entity is participating in a voluntary effort to assist the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council (ESCC) in developing and implementing one or more industry initiatives to provide cyber emergency assistance to entities in the electric sector (collectively, the “Cyber Mutual Assistance Program”).
B. In connection with the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, each Participating Entity may voluntarily choose to request from or provide to another Participating Entity emergency cyber mutual assistance in response to a cyber emergency;
C. The development and implementation of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities, may necessitate the exchange of certain confidential or proprietary information.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants in this Agreement, the Participating Entities agree as follows:
1. Purpose, Scope, and Definitions. The purpose of this Agreement is to permit each Participating Entity to exchange Confidential Information (as defined below) as needed to pursue the development and implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities in response to a cyber emergency or in connection with any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program.
“Confidential Information” under this Agreement consists of:
(i) all information disclosed by any Participating Entity, or any of its employees, directors, officers, affiliates, partners, agents, advisors or other representatives (“Representatives”) pursuant to that Participating Entity’s participation in or contribution to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance, whether disclosed prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(ii) any information or documentation produced by a Participating Entity, or any of its Representatives, under any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or related to a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including any analysis of such information, and whether produced prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(iii) any aggregation, consolidation, or listing of information or documentation disclosed by one or more Participating Entities, or any of their respective Representatives, pursuant to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance; and
(iv) all observations of equipment (including computer screens) and oral disclosures related to the development of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including the systems, operations, and activities of each Participating Entity, whether such observations or oral disclosures were made prior to or following the execution of this Agreement.
2. Non-Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information. Each Participating Entity agrees (i) to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information obtained, (ii) without the express permission of the Participating Entity providing such information, not to disclose such information to third parties, and (iii) to use such information only for the express purpose of developing and implementing a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including in connection with any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities. Each Participating Entity shall use the Confidential Information received hereunder only for the purposes identified in Section 1. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a Participating Entity may use and internally share Confidential Information as deemed necessary to respond to an actual or threatened cyber emergency that places, or has the potential to place, the Participating Entity’s cyber systems at risk. Any other use shall be only with the prior written consent of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities that provided the Confidential Information sought to be used.
3. Exemptions to Non-Disclosure. Notwithstanding Sections 1 and 2, a Participating Entity shall not have breached any obligation under this Agreement if the Confidential Information is disclosed to a third party when the Confidential Information:
(a) was in the public domain at the time of such disclosure or is subsequently made available to the public by the Participating Entity who provided the Confidential Information, or otherwise consistent with the terms of this Agreement; or
(b) had been received or independently developed by such Participating Entity at or prior to the time of disclosure through a process other than the development or implementation of the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program; or
(c) is subsequently disclosed to the Participating Entity by a third party without restriction on use and without breach of any agreement or legal duty; or
(d) subject to the provisions of Section 4, is used or disclosed pursuant to statutory duty, such as a public records act request, or an order, subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process issued by a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or in a judicial proceeding; or
(e) is disclosed by unanimous agreement of each of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure; or
(f) after the time of its disclosure hereunder, becomes subsequently available to such Participating Entity on a non-confidential basis from a source not known by such Participating Entity to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or secrecy obligation in respect thereof.
4. Notice of Pending Third-Party Disclosure or Unauthorized Disclosure.
(a) In the event that any governmental authority issues an order, subpoena, or other lawful process or a Participating Entity receives a discovery request in a civil proceeding ("Legal Process") requiring the disclosure of any Confidential Information, the Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall notify in writing the other Participating Entities within five (5) business days of receipt. The Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall not be in violation of this Agreement if it complies with the Legal Process requiring disclosure of the Confidential Information after seven (7) business days following Participating Entity notification, as set forth above.
(b) A Participating Entity shall not disclose any Confidential Information in response to a request under the federal Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended, or an equivalent state or local open records law, except as required by law as determined in the written opinion of such Participating Entity’s legal counsel. Upon receipt of a Freedom of Information Act or public records disclosure request, such Participating Entity shall: (i) notify each Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request immediately upon receipt of a request for public records that include all or part of the Confidential Information; and (ii) if, in the written opinion of the legal counsel for the Participating Entity receiving the information request, the Confidential Information is not legally required to be disclosed, treat the requested Confidential Information as exempt from disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Participating Entity receiving the information request shall cooperate with the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request in challenging the request or seeking another appropriate remedy, as necessary. If such challenge to the request is not successful and another remedy is not obtained, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, as determined in the written opinion of the Participating Entity’s legal counsel, shall be disclosed.
(c) Unauthorized Disclosure: If a Participating Entity becomes aware that Confidential Information has been or likely has been disclosed to a third party in violation of this Agreement, the Participating Entity will immediately notify the Participating Entity in writing that provided the disclosed Confidential Information, provide a description of the information disclosed, and provide reasonable assistance to the Participating Entity that provided the disclosed Confidential Information to recover the Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized disclosure.
5. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect as to each Participating Entity unless and until a Participating Entity seeking to withdraw from the agreement provides ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the other Participating Entities, then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Participating Entity at the conclusion of such ten (10) day period; provided, however, that termination shall not extinguish any claim, liability, or cause of action under this Agreement existing at the time of termination. The provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years.
6. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, all Confidential Information in the possession or control of a Participating Entity and its Representatives that received such information shall be returned to the Participating Entity that disclosed the information, including all copies of such information in any form whatsoever, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Participating Entity that disclosed the information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Confidential Information is retained in the computer backup system of a Participating Entity, the Confidential Information will be destroyed in accordance with the regular ongoing records retention process of the Participating Entity. In lieu of return, a Participating Entity may certify to the other Participating Entities in writing that all such Confidential Information, in any form whatsoever, has been destroyed. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 6 to the contrary, a Participating Entity may retain a record copy of any Confidential Information if required to do so by applicable law. In such an instance, such Participating Entity shall identify in writing the specific Confidential Information retained, and shall provide the affected Participating Entity or Participating Entities with a written commitment to return or destroy the retained Confidential Information upon the expiration of the retention period required by law. The obligation under this Agreement to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information shall continue to apply to such retained Confidential Information for so long as the Participating Entity possesses such Confidential Information.
7. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, unless otherwise agreed by the Participating Entities, and shall be delivered in person or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, by overnight delivery, or by electronic mail or electronic facsimile transmission with an original sent immediately thereafter by postage prepaid mail, and properly addressed with respect to a particular Participating Entity, to such Participating Entity’s representative as set forth on such Participating Entity’s signature page to this Agreement. A Participating Entity may from time to time change its representative or address for the purpose of notices to that Participating Entity by a similar notice specifying a new representative or address, but no such change shall be deemed to have been given until such notice is actually received by the Participating Entity being so notified.

Text: Mutual Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement
to Support Emergency Cyber Mutual Assistance
This Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement (the "Agreement'') is made and entered into as of this 15th day of June, 2016 by and among each entity that executes and delivers the signature page to this Agreement (each, a "Participating Entity" and collectively, the "Participating Entities").
A. Each Participating Entity is participating in a voluntary effort to assist the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council (ESCC) in developing and implementing one or more industry initiatives to provide cyber emergency assistance to entities in the electric sector (collectively, the “Cyber Mutual Assistance Program”).
B. In connection with the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, each Participating Entity may voluntarily choose to request from or provide to another Participating Entity emergency cyber mutual assistance in response to a cyber emergency;
C. The development and implementation of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities, may necessitate the exchange of certain confidential or proprietary information.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants in this Agreement, the Participating Entities agree as follows:
1. Purpose, Scope, and Definitions. The purpose of this Agreement is to permit each Participating Entity to exchange Confidential Information (as defined below) as needed to pursue the development and implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities in response to a cyber emergency or in connection with any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program.
“Confidential Information” under this Agreement consists of:
(i) all information disclosed by any Participating Entity, or any of its employees, directors, officers, affiliates, partners, agents, advisors or other representatives (“Representatives”) pursuant to that Participating Entity’s participation in or contribution to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance, whether disclosed prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(ii) any information or documentation produced by a Participating Entity, or any of its Representatives, under any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or related to a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including any analysis of such information, and whether produced prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(iii) any aggregation, consolidation, or listing of information or documentation disclosed by one or more Participating Entities, or any of their respective Representatives, pursuant to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance; and
(iv) all observations of equipment (including computer screens) and oral disclosures related to the development of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including the systems, operations, and activities of each Participating Entity, whether such observations or oral disclosures were made prior to or following the execution of this Agreement.
2. Non-Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information. Each Participating Entity agrees (i) to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information obtained, (ii) without the express permission of the Participating Entity providing such information, not to disclose such information to third parties, and (iii) to use such information only for the express purpose of developing and implementing a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including in connection with any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities. Each Participating Entity shall use the Confidential Information received hereunder only for the purposes identified in Section 1. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a Participating Entity may use and internally share Confidential Information as deemed necessary to respond to an actual or threatened cyber emergency that places, or has the potential to place, the Participating Entity’s cyber systems at risk. Any other use shall be only with the prior written consent of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities that provided the Confidential Information sought to be used.
3. Exemptions to Non-Disclosure. Notwithstanding Sections 1 and 2, a Participating Entity shall not have breached any obligation under this Agreement if the Confidential Information is disclosed to a third party when the Confidential Information:
(a) was in the public domain at the time of such disclosure or is subsequently made available to the public by the Participating Entity who provided the Confidential Information, or otherwise consistent with the terms of this Agreement; or
(b) had been received or independently developed by such Participating Entity at or prior to the time of disclosure through a process other than the development or implementation of the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program; or
(c) is subsequently disclosed to the Participating Entity by a third party without restriction on use and without breach of any agreement or legal duty; or
(d) subject to the provisions of Section 4, is used or disclosed pursuant to statutory duty, such as a public records act request, or an order, subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process issued by a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or in a judicial proceeding; or
(e) is disclosed by unanimous agreement of each of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure; or
(f) after the time of its disclosure hereunder, becomes subsequently available to such Participating Entity on a non-confidential basis from a source not known by such Participating Entity to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or secrecy obligation in respect thereof.
4. Notice of Pending Third-Party Disclosure or Unauthorized Disclosure.
(a) In the event that any governmental authority issues an order, subpoena, or other lawful process or a Participating Entity receives a discovery request in a civil proceeding ("Legal Process") requiring the disclosure of any Confidential Information, the Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall notify in writing the other Participating Entities within five (5) business days of receipt. The Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall not be in violation of this Agreement if it complies with the Legal Process requiring disclosure of the Confidential Information after seven (7) business days following Participating Entity notification, as set forth above.
(b) A Participating Entity shall not disclose any Confidential Information in response to a request under the federal Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended, or an equivalent state or local open records law, except as required by law as determined in the written opinion of such Participating Entity’s legal counsel. Upon receipt of a Freedom of Information Act or public records disclosure request, such Participating Entity shall: (i) notify each Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request immediately upon receipt of a request for public records that include all or part of the Confidential Information; and (ii) if, in the written opinion of the legal counsel for the Participating Entity receiving the information request, the Confidential Information is not legally required to be disclosed, treat the requested Confidential Information as exempt from disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Participating Entity receiving the information request shall cooperate with the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request in challenging the request or seeking another appropriate remedy, as necessary. If such challenge to the request is not successful and another remedy is not obtained, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, as determined in the written opinion of the Participating Entity’s legal counsel, shall be disclosed.
(c) Unauthorized Disclosure: If a Participating Entity becomes aware that Confidential Information has been or likely has been disclosed to a third party in violation of this Agreement, the Participating Entity will immediately notify the Participating Entity in writing that provided the disclosed Confidential Information, provide a description of the information disclosed, and provide reasonable assistance to the Participating Entity that provided the disclosed Confidential Information to recover the Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized disclosure.
5. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect as to each Participating Entity unless and until a Participating Entity seeking to withdraw from the agreement provides ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the other Participating Entities, then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Participating Entity at the conclusion of such ten (10) day period; provided, however, that termination shall not extinguish any claim, liability, or cause of action under this Agreement existing at the time of termination. The provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years.
6. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, all Confidential Information in the possession or control of a Participating Entity and its Representatives that received such information shall be returned to the Participating Entity that disclosed the information, including all copies of such information in any form whatsoever, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Participating Entity that disclosed the information.

In lieu of return, a Participating Entity may certify to the other Participating Entities in writing that all such Confidential Information, in any form whatsoever, has been destroyed. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 6 to the contrary, a Participating Entity may retain a record copy of any Confidential Information if required to do so by applicable law. In such an instance, such Participating Entity shall identify in writing the specific Confidential Information retained, and shall provide the affected Participating Entity or Participating Entities with a written commitment to return or destroy the retained Confidential Information upon the expiration of the retention period required by law. The obligation under this Agreement to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information shall continue to apply to such retained Confidential Information for so long as the Participating Entity possesses such Confidential Information.

Text: Mutual Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement
to Support Emergency Cyber Mutual Assistance
This Non-Disclosure and Use of Information Agreement (the "Agreement'') is made and entered into as of this 15th day of June, 2016 by and among each entity that executes and delivers the signature page to this Agreement (each, a "Participating Entity" and collectively, the "Participating Entities").
A. Each Participating Entity is participating in a voluntary effort to assist the Electricity Subsector Coordinating Council (ESCC) in developing and implementing one or more industry initiatives to provide cyber emergency assistance to entities in the electric sector (collectively, the “Cyber Mutual Assistance Program”).
B. In connection with the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, each Participating Entity may voluntarily choose to request from or provide to another Participating Entity emergency cyber mutual assistance in response to a cyber emergency;
C. The development and implementation of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities, may necessitate the exchange of certain confidential or proprietary information.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual covenants in this Agreement, the Participating Entities agree as follows:
1. Purpose, Scope, and Definitions. The purpose of this Agreement is to permit each Participating Entity to exchange Confidential Information (as defined below) as needed to pursue the development and implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities in response to a cyber emergency or in connection with any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program.
“Confidential Information” under this Agreement consists of:
(i) all information disclosed by any Participating Entity, or any of its employees, directors, officers, affiliates, partners, agents, advisors or other representatives (“Representatives”) pursuant to that Participating Entity’s participation in or contribution to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance, whether disclosed prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(ii) any information or documentation produced by a Participating Entity, or any of its Representatives, under any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or related to a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including any analysis of such information, and whether produced prior to or following the execution of this Agreement;
(iii) any aggregation, consolidation, or listing of information or documentation disclosed by one or more Participating Entities, or any of their respective Representatives, pursuant to the development or implementation of a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program including any Participating Entity’s request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance; and
(iv) all observations of equipment (including computer screens) and oral disclosures related to the development of any Cyber Mutual Assistance Program or a specific request for or response to cyber mutual assistance, including the systems, operations, and activities of each Participating Entity, whether such observations or oral disclosures were made prior to or following the execution of this Agreement.
2. Non-Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information. Each Participating Entity agrees (i) to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information obtained, (ii) without the express permission of the Participating Entity providing such information, not to disclose such information to third parties, and (iii) to use such information only for the express purpose of developing and implementing a Cyber Mutual Assistance Program, including in connection with any request for or provision of cyber mutual assistance between Participating Entities. Each Participating Entity shall use the Confidential Information received hereunder only for the purposes identified in Section 1. Notwithstanding the forgoing, a Participating Entity may use and internally share Confidential Information as deemed necessary to respond to an actual or threatened cyber emergency that places, or has the potential to place, the Participating Entity’s cyber systems at risk. Any other use shall be only with the prior written consent of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities that provided the Confidential Information sought to be used.
3. Exemptions to Non-Disclosure. Notwithstanding Sections 1 and 2, a Participating Entity shall not have breached any obligation under this Agreement if the Confidential Information is disclosed to a third party when the Confidential Information:
(a) was in the public domain at the time of such disclosure or is subsequently made available to the public by the Participating Entity who provided the Confidential Information, or otherwise consistent with the terms of this Agreement; or
(b) had been received or independently developed by such Participating Entity at or prior to the time of disclosure through a process other than the development or implementation of the Cyber Mutual Assistance Program; or
(c) is subsequently disclosed to the Participating Entity by a third party without restriction on use and without breach of any agreement or legal duty; or
(d) subject to the provisions of Section 4, is used or disclosed pursuant to statutory duty, such as a public records act request, or an order, subpoena, discovery request, or other lawful process issued by a court or other governmental authority of competent jurisdiction or in a judicial proceeding; or
(e) is disclosed by unanimous agreement of each of the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure; or
(f) after the time of its disclosure hereunder, becomes subsequently available to such Participating Entity on a non-confidential basis from a source not known by such Participating Entity to be bound by a confidentiality agreement or secrecy obligation in respect thereof.
4. Notice of Pending Third-Party Disclosure or Unauthorized Disclosure.
(a) In the event that any governmental authority issues an order, subpoena, or other lawful process or a Participating Entity receives a discovery request in a civil proceeding ("Legal Process") requiring the disclosure of any Confidential Information, the Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall notify in writing the other Participating Entities within five (5) business days of receipt. The Participating Entity receiving such Legal Process shall not be in violation of this Agreement if it complies with the Legal Process requiring disclosure of the Confidential Information after seven (7) business days following Participating Entity notification, as set forth above.
(b) A Participating Entity shall not disclose any Confidential Information in response to a request under the federal Freedom of Information Act, 5 U.S.C. § 552, as amended, or an equivalent state or local open records law, except as required by law as determined in the written opinion of such Participating Entity’s legal counsel. Upon receipt of a Freedom of Information Act or public records disclosure request, such Participating Entity shall: (i) notify each Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request immediately upon receipt of a request for public records that include all or part of the Confidential Information; and (ii) if, in the written opinion of the legal counsel for the Participating Entity receiving the information request, the Confidential Information is not legally required to be disclosed, treat the requested Confidential Information as exempt from disclosure to the extent permitted by applicable law. The Participating Entity receiving the information request shall cooperate with the Participating Entity or Participating Entities whose information is subject to such disclosure request in challenging the request or seeking another appropriate remedy, as necessary. If such challenge to the request is not successful and another remedy is not obtained, only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, as determined in the written opinion of the Participating Entity’s legal counsel, shall be disclosed.
(c) Unauthorized Disclosure: If a Participating Entity becomes aware that Confidential Information has been or likely has been disclosed to a third party in violation of this Agreement, the Participating Entity will immediately notify the Participating Entity in writing that provided the disclosed Confidential Information, provide a description of the information disclosed, and provide reasonable assistance to the Participating Entity that provided the disclosed Confidential Information to recover the Confidential Information and prevent further unauthorized disclosure.
5. Term. This Agreement shall remain in effect as to each Participating Entity unless and until a Participating Entity seeking to withdraw from the agreement provides ten (10) days’ prior written notice to the other Participating Entities, then this Agreement shall terminate with respect to such Participating Entity at the conclusion of such ten (10) day period; provided, however, that termination shall not extinguish any claim, liability, or cause of action under this Agreement existing at the time of termination. The provisions of Sections 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 shall survive the termination of this Agreement for a period of ten (10) years.
6. Return or Destruction of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, all Confidential Information in the possession or control of a Participating Entity and its Representatives that received such information shall be returned to the Participating Entity that disclosed the information, including all copies of such information in any form whatsoever, unless otherwise instructed in writing by the Participating Entity that disclosed the information. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Confidential Information is retained in the computer backup system of a Participating Entity, the Confidential Information will be destroyed in accordance with the regular ongoing records retention process of the Participating Entity. In lieu of return, a Participating Entity may certify to the other Participating Entities in writing that all such Confidential Information, in any form whatsoever, has been destroyed. Notwithstanding anything in this paragraph 6 to the contrary, a Participating Entity may retain a record copy of any Confidential Information if required to do so by applicable law. In such an instance, such Participating Entity shall identify in writing the specific Confidential Information retained, and shall provide the affected Participating Entity or Participating Entities with a written commitment to return or destroy the retained Confidential Information upon the expiration of the retention period required by law. The obligation under this Agreement to maintain the confidentiality of all Confidential Information shall continue to apply to such retained Confidential Information for so long as the Participating Entity possesses such Confidential Information.
7. Notices. All notices, requests, demands, and other communications required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, unless otherwise agreed by the Participating Entities, and shall be delivered in person or sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, by overnight delivery, or by electronic mail or electronic facsimile transmission with an original sent immediately thereafter by postage prepaid mail, and properly addressed with respect to a particular Participating Entity, to such Participating Entity’s representative as set forth on such Participating Entity’s signature page to this Agreement. A Participating Entity may from time to time change its representative or address for the purpose of notices to that Participating Entity by a similar notice specifying a new representative or address, but no such change shall be deemed to have been given until such notice is actually received by the Participating Entity being so notified.
8. Complete Agreement; No Other Rights. This Agreement contains the complete and exclusive agreement of the Participating Entities with respect to the subject matter thereof. No change to this Agreement shall be effective unless agreed to in writing by all of the then existing Participating Entities. This Agreement is not intended to create any right in or obligation of any Participating Entity or third party other than those expressly stated herein.

Each Participating Entity agrees that, in addition to whatever other remedies may be available to the other Participating Entities under applicable law, the other Participating Entities shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief with respect to any actual or threatened violation of this Agreement by a Participating Entity or any third party receiving Confidential Information.

Text: MUTUAL NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT
This Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into on the date signed below by and between
_________________________________ (hereinafter “COMPANY”) and Dealer Pay, LLC (hereinafter “Dealer Pay”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, Dealer Pay owns and/or controls certain proprietary and confidential intellectual property, namely, a point-of-sale software platform for the automotive industry; and
WHEREAS, Dealer Pay and COMPANY desire to explore the possibility of entering into one or more potential business transactions or relationships (each a “Business Relationship”), with the understanding that any such Business Relationship would be embodied in a mutually acceptable, definitive written agreement executed by the parties; and
WHEREAS, in connection with any Business Relationship and any discussions, demonstrations, evaluations and negotiations concerning a potential Business Relationship (“Discussions”), each party and/or its affiliates and/or their respective Representatives (as such term is defined below), may receive, observe and/or have physical or electronic access to certain Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other party and/or its affiliates; and
WHEREAS, Dealer Pay and COMPANY desire to ensure that appropriate confidentiality obligations are in place to protect Confidential Information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants made herein, each party hereby agrees as follows:
I. DEFINITIONS:
A. “Confidential Information” as used herein any and all confidential and/or proprietary information concerning the Originating Party’s business and such party’s trade secrets, proprietary data and business data, whether oral or written, tangible or intangible, which is disclosed to or learned by the Receiving Party in the course of the Discussions or otherwise while working with the Originating Party, and/or discovered, developed, conceived, originated, appreciably modified, or prepared in scope of Receiving Party’s relationship with the Originating Party, including but not limited to the following:
1. Business plans, acquisition plans, expansion plans, business development plans;
2. Financial information, personnel information, training information, management systems and recruitment strategies;
3. All commercial data relating to the business and products of Originating Party;
4. Identity and contact information regarding vendors and suppliers;
5. Specifications regarding Originating Party’s products (including inventions, formulas, machinery and equipment, use of raw materials);
6. Pricing and marketing/business strategies;
7. Details regarding manufacturing processes and techniques;
8. Customer identities and customer contact information;
9. Customer credit information;
10. Information regarding customer preferences and particularized needs;
11. Product development strategies, expansion plans, and internal business plans, procedures, or methods of operation; and
12. Design documents or source code.
13. “Confidential Information” shall not include information which, now or in the future, is available to the public (other than through improper disclosure by the Receiving Party); information rightly acquired from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality; information that is independently developed without the use of any Confidential Information; or information already known by Receiving Party prior to disclosure by Originating Party, as demonstrated by written evidence.
B. “Customer” as used herein shall include any person, firm or other business entity which receiving party has directly or indirectly contacted, who have contacted him/her, for whom he/she has conducted training sessions, or whom have been referred to him/her on behalf of Originating Party in regard to originating parties business with respect to the purchase or offering of Originating Party’s products and/or services.
C. “Originating Party” as used herein shall refer to the party who discloses the Confidential Information or Intellectual Property to the Receiving Party.
D. “Receiving Party” as used herein shall refer to the party who receives the Confidential Information or Intellectual Property from the Originating Party.
E. “Representative” means directors, officers, employees, accountants, attorneys, lenders of funds and agents of a party or its affiliates.
II. NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT: Both parties recognizes and acknowledges that, in an effort to foster the Discussions one or both of the parties has provided and/or will provide, at no cost, fee, charge or expense to Receiving Party, Confidential Information of a special and unique value and nature developed and/or acquired by (and/or being developed or acquired by) Originating Party at great expense and cost to Originating Party which, if it were to come into the possession of Originating Party’s competitors, would cause irreparable damage to Originating Party, its competitive advantage and its ability to operate profitably. Receiving Party acknowledges that, prior to its relationship with Originating Party and prior to execution of this Agreement, Receiving Party had no knowledge of any of the aforesaid information. Receiving Party therefore agrees that neither it nor its Representatives will at any time make any independent business or personal use of, retain, copy, divulge, disclose, reveal or communicate to any other person or organization (except as expressly authorized in writing by Originating Party, as required to analyze the Business Relationship or as required to fulfill Receiving Party’s obligations to Originating Party) any Confidential Information. Both parties agree that the obligations under this Agreement are in addition to all duties and obligations imposed upon each party by operation of law including but not limited to common-law and statute. Both parties further agree that their obligations under this paragraph survive the termination of the relationship between the two parties.
III. LEGALLY REQUIRED DISCLOSURES: If Receiving Party is requested to disclose any Confidential Information of the Originating Party under applicable law, in any judicial or administrative proceeding, or in response to a formal request of a regulatory or governmental authority (including law enforcement), then, except as otherwise required to comply with applicable law, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Originating Party of such request so that Originating Party may resist such disclosure or seek an appropriate protective order, and shall provide all information and assistance reasonably requested by Originating Party in connection therewith, at the Originating Party’s sole expense. If the Receiving Party is nonetheless compelled to disclose any Confidential Information of the Originating Party, the Receiving Party shall limit its disclosure to that which, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, is required under applicable law.
IV. NO REVERSE ENGINEERING; WORK PRODUCT: Receiving Party shall not reverse-engineer, analyze, attempt to duplicate or otherwise attempt to determine the design or method of compiling samples, prototypes or products of the Originating Party except pursuant to a mutually acceptable, written agreement executed by the parties. In the event that Receiving Party performs any services or testing for or on behalf of Originating Party without entering into such a written agreement, then any information or data developed by Receiving Party in connection with such services or tests shall be considered the Originating Party’s Confidential Information and shall be maintained as such and kept confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All such information and data shall belong to Originating Party exclusively and Receiving Party shall execute any instruments determined by Originating Party to be reasonably necessary to confirm Originating Party’s ownership thereof.
V. NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND/OR CONTRACTORS: Receiving Party recognizes and acknowledges that, while engaged in Discussions and/or while involved in a Business Relationship, such party will be in a position to utilize Originating Party’s goodwill and have access to and/or utilize Confidential Information of Originating Party that would enable Receiving Party to take advantage of that goodwill and/or Confidential Information to the detriment of the Originating Party, by attempting, for example, to recruit or solicit employees, and/or contractors of Originating Party. Receiving Party agrees and acknowledges that this would have the effect of causing the cessation or curtailment of the Business Relationship and would otherwise unfairly damage the business prospects of Originating Party. Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements made in this Agreement, during the course of the Business Relationship and for a period of 36 months after termination of the Business Relationship, Receiving Party agrees not to directly or indirectly communicate, solicit, induce, hire, recruit, take away, employ, endeavor to employ (on Receiving Party’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity) or attempt to influence any employee or contractor in any way that may have the effect of causing the cessation or curtailment of their respective relationships with Originating Party.
VI. NO COMMITMENT; NO LICENSE; NO WARRANTY: Neither party shall be obligated under this Agreement to commence or continue with any Discussions, enter into any particular Business Relationship, or disclose any particular Confidential Information to the other party. No express or implied license under any intellectual property rights of either party is granted or conveyed to the other party under this Agreement. ALL CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND DISCLOSER DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
VII. ATTORNEY'S FEES: If any legal action is brought by any party hereto, it is expressly agreed that the prevailing party in such action or dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party attorney's fees and costs in addition to any other relief that may be awarded. For the purpose of this Paragraph, the "prevailing party" shall be the party in whose favor a final judgment is entered.
VIII. SEVERABILITY: It is the intent and agreement of the parties to this agreement that, in case any one or more of the provisions of this agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this agreement and this agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein except that this shall not prohibit any modification allowed or agreed upon pursuant to the terms of this agreement or any right of reformation.
IX. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the procedural and substantive laws of the State of Missouri. The parties to this Agreement consent and designate St. Louis County, Missouri as the sole venue and location for any suit or other proceeding of any kind regarding any aspect of this agreement and all issues arising out of or relating to the independent relationship between the parties.
X. ASSIGNMENT: This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and the assigns of all parties herein. Each party may assign or transfer this Agreement to a successor business entity in the event of a merger, consolidation, transfer or sale of the assets of said party. Any purported assignment of this Agreement, other than as provided above, shall be void.
XI. NOTICES: Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests, consents or other communications (each a "Notice") provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be given either (i) by depositing the Notice in the United States mail, addressed to the recipient, postage paid, and registered or certified with return receipt requested or (ii) by delivering the Notice to the recipient in person, by courier, or by facsimile transmission. A Notice given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the party to receive it. Any Notice to any party must be sent to or made at that party’s address (or facsimile number if applicable) given below such party’s signature or such other address or facsimile number as that party may specify by delivering a Notice in compliance with this paragraph.
XII. EQUITABLE RELIEF: Each party recognizes that any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the other party, the extent of which would be difficult and impracticable to assess, and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for such breach. Accordingly, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies at law or in equity available under the circumstances, and notwithstanding any jurisdiction and venue requirements of this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other non-monetary equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the need or requirement of any bond, provided that if a bond is required, the bond shall not exceed $1,000.00.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, intending to be legally bound, have executed this Agreement as of the last date set forth below by the undersigned duly authorized representatives.

SEVERABILITY: It is the intent and agreement of the parties to this agreement that, in case any one or more of the provisions of this agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this agreement and this agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein except that this shall not prohibit any modification allowed or agreed upon pursuant to the terms of this agreement or any right of reformation.
IX. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the procedural and substantive laws of the State of Missouri. The parties to this Agreement consent and designate St. Louis County, Missouri as the sole venue and location for any suit or other proceeding of any kind regarding any aspect of this agreement and all issues arising out of or relating to the independent relationship between the parties.
X. ASSIGNMENT: This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and the assigns of all parties herein.

XII. EQUITABLE RELIEF: Each party recognizes that any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the other party, the extent of which would be difficult and impracticable to assess, and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for such breach.

This Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement (“Agreement”) is made and entered into on the date signed below by and between
_________________________________ (hereinafter “COMPANY”) and Dealer Pay, LLC (hereinafter “Dealer Pay”).
RECITALS:
WHEREAS, Dealer Pay owns and/or controls certain proprietary and confidential intellectual property, namely, a point-of-sale software platform for the automotive industry; and
WHEREAS, Dealer Pay and COMPANY desire to explore the possibility of entering into one or more potential business transactions or relationships (each a “Business Relationship”), with the understanding that any such Business Relationship would be embodied in a mutually acceptable, definitive written agreement executed by the parties; and
WHEREAS, in connection with any Business Relationship and any discussions, demonstrations, evaluations and negotiations concerning a potential Business Relationship (“Discussions”), each party and/or its affiliates and/or their respective Representatives (as such term is defined below), may receive, observe and/or have physical or electronic access to certain Confidential Information (as defined below) of the other party and/or its affiliates; and
WHEREAS, Dealer Pay and COMPANY desire to ensure that appropriate confidentiality obligations are in place to protect Confidential Information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants made herein, each party hereby agrees as follows:
I. DEFINITIONS:
A. “Confidential Information” as used herein any and all confidential and/or proprietary information concerning the Originating Party’s business and such party’s trade secrets, proprietary data and business data, whether oral or written, tangible or intangible, which is disclosed to or learned by the Receiving Party in the course of the Discussions or otherwise while working with the Originating Party, and/or discovered, developed, conceived, originated, appreciably modified, or prepared in scope of Receiving Party’s relationship with the Originating Party, including but not limited to the following:
1. Business plans, acquisition plans, expansion plans, business development plans;
2. Financial information, personnel information, training information, management systems and recruitment strategies;
3. All commercial data relating to the business and products of Originating Party;
4. Identity and contact information regarding vendors and suppliers;
5. Specifications regarding Originating Party’s products (including inventions, formulas, machinery and equipment, use of raw materials);
6. Pricing and marketing/business strategies;
7. Details regarding manufacturing processes and techniques;
8. Customer identities and customer contact information;
9. Customer credit information;
10. Information regarding customer preferences and particularized needs;
11. Product development strategies, expansion plans, and internal business plans, procedures, or methods of operation; and
12. Design documents or source code.
13. “Confidential Information” shall not include information which, now or in the future, is available to the public (other than through improper disclosure by the Receiving Party); information rightly acquired from a third party without any obligation of confidentiality; information that is independently developed without the use of any Confidential Information; or information already known by Receiving Party prior to disclosure by Originating Party, as demonstrated by written evidence.
B. “Customer” as used herein shall include any person, firm or other business entity which receiving party has directly or indirectly contacted, who have contacted him/her, for whom he/she has conducted training sessions, or whom have been referred to him/her on behalf of Originating Party in regard to originating parties business with respect to the purchase or offering of Originating Party’s products and/or services.
C. “Originating Party” as used herein shall refer to the party who discloses the Confidential Information or Intellectual Property to the Receiving Party.
D. “Receiving Party” as used herein shall refer to the party who receives the Confidential Information or Intellectual Property from the Originating Party.
E. “Representative” means directors, officers, employees, accountants, attorneys, lenders of funds and agents of a party or its affiliates.
II. NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT: Both parties recognizes and acknowledges that, in an effort to foster the Discussions one or both of the parties has provided and/or will provide, at no cost, fee, charge or expense to Receiving Party, Confidential Information of a special and unique value and nature developed and/or acquired by (and/or being developed or acquired by) Originating Party at great expense and cost to Originating Party which, if it were to come into the possession of Originating Party’s competitors, would cause irreparable damage to Originating Party, its competitive advantage and its ability to operate profitably. Receiving Party acknowledges that, prior to its relationship with Originating Party and prior to execution of this Agreement, Receiving Party had no knowledge of any of the aforesaid information. Receiving Party therefore agrees that neither it nor its Representatives will at any time make any independent business or personal use of, retain, copy, divulge, disclose, reveal or communicate to any other person or organization (except as expressly authorized in writing by Originating Party, as required to analyze the Business Relationship or as required to fulfill Receiving Party’s obligations to Originating Party) any Confidential Information. Both parties agree that the obligations under this Agreement are in addition to all duties and obligations imposed upon each party by operation of law including but not limited to common-law and statute. Both parties further agree that their obligations under this paragraph survive the termination of the relationship between the two parties.
III. LEGALLY REQUIRED DISCLOSURES: If Receiving Party is requested to disclose any Confidential Information of the Originating Party under applicable law, in any judicial or administrative proceeding, or in response to a formal request of a regulatory or governmental authority (including law enforcement), then, except as otherwise required to comply with applicable law, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Originating Party of such request so that Originating Party may resist such disclosure or seek an appropriate protective order, and shall provide all information and assistance reasonably requested by Originating Party in connection therewith, at the Originating Party’s sole expense. If the Receiving Party is nonetheless compelled to disclose any Confidential Information of the Originating Party, the Receiving Party shall limit its disclosure to that which, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, is required under applicable law.
IV. NO REVERSE ENGINEERING; WORK PRODUCT: Receiving Party shall not reverse-engineer, analyze, attempt to duplicate or otherwise attempt to determine the design or method of compiling samples, prototypes or products of the Originating Party except pursuant to a mutually acceptable, written agreement executed by the parties. In the event that Receiving Party performs any services or testing for or on behalf of Originating Party without entering into such a written agreement, then any information or data developed by Receiving Party in connection with such services or tests shall be considered the Originating Party’s Confidential Information and shall be maintained as such and kept confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All such information and data shall belong to Originating Party exclusively and Receiving Party shall execute any instruments determined by Originating Party to be reasonably necessary to confirm Originating Party’s ownership thereof.
V. NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND/OR CONTRACTORS: Receiving Party recognizes and acknowledges that, while engaged in Discussions and/or while involved in a Business Relationship, such party will be in a position to utilize Originating Party’s goodwill and have access to and/or utilize Confidential Information of Originating Party that would enable Receiving Party to take advantage of that goodwill and/or Confidential Information to the detriment of the Originating Party, by attempting, for example, to recruit or solicit employees, and/or contractors of Originating Party. Receiving Party agrees and acknowledges that this would have the effect of causing the cessation or curtailment of the Business Relationship and would otherwise unfairly damage the business prospects of Originating Party. Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements made in this Agreement, during the course of the Business Relationship and for a period of 36 months after termination of the Business Relationship, Receiving Party agrees not to directly or indirectly communicate, solicit, induce, hire, recruit, take away, employ, endeavor to employ (on Receiving Party’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity) or attempt to influence any employee or contractor in any way that may have the effect of causing the cessation or curtailment of their respective relationships with Originating Party.
VI. NO COMMITMENT; NO LICENSE; NO WARRANTY: Neither party shall be obligated under this Agreement to commence or continue with any Discussions, enter into any particular Business Relationship, or disclose any particular Confidential Information to the other party. No express or implied license under any intellectual property rights of either party is granted or conveyed to the other party under this Agreement. ALL CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND DISCLOSER DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
VII. ATTORNEY'S FEES: If any legal action is brought by any party hereto, it is expressly agreed that the prevailing party in such action or dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party attorney's fees and costs in addition to any other relief that may be awarded. For the purpose of this Paragraph, the "prevailing party" shall be the party in whose favor a final judgment is entered.
VIII. SEVERABILITY: It is the intent and agreement of the parties to this agreement that, in case any one or more of the provisions of this agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this agreement and this agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein except that this shall not prohibit any modification allowed or agreed upon pursuant to the terms of this agreement or any right of reformation.
IX. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the procedural and substantive laws of the State of Missouri. The parties to this Agreement consent and designate St. Louis County, Missouri as the sole venue and location for any suit or other proceeding of any kind regarding any aspect of this agreement and all issues arising out of or relating to the independent relationship between the parties.

Each party may assign or transfer this Agreement to a successor business entity in the event of a merger, consolidation, transfer or sale of the assets of said party.

Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements made in this Agreement, during the course of the Business Relationship and for a period of 36 months after termination of the Business Relationship, Receiving Party agrees not to directly or indirectly communicate, solicit, induce, hire, recruit, take away, employ, endeavor to employ (on Receiving Party’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity) or attempt to influence any employee or contractor in any way that may have the effect of causing the cessation or curtailment of their respective relationships with Originating Party.
VI. NO COMMITMENT; NO LICENSE; NO WARRANTY: Neither party shall be obligated under this Agreement to commence or continue with any Discussions, enter into any particular Business Relationship, or disclose any particular Confidential Information to the other party. No express or implied license under any intellectual property rights of either party is granted or conveyed to the other party under this Agreement. ALL CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND DISCLOSER DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
VII. ATTORNEY'S FEES: If any legal action is brought by any party hereto, it is expressly agreed that the prevailing party in such action or dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party attorney's fees and costs in addition to any other relief that may be awarded. For the purpose of this Paragraph, the "prevailing party" shall be the party in whose favor a final judgment is entered.
VIII. SEVERABILITY: It is the intent and agreement of the parties to this agreement that, in case any one or more of the provisions of this agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this agreement and this agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein except that this shall not prohibit any modification allowed or agreed upon pursuant to the terms of this agreement or any right of reformation.
IX. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the procedural and substantive laws of the State of Missouri. The parties to this Agreement consent and designate St. Louis County, Missouri as the sole venue and location for any suit or other proceeding of any kind regarding any aspect of this agreement and all issues arising out of or relating to the independent relationship between the parties.
X. ASSIGNMENT: This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and the assigns of all parties herein. Each party may assign or transfer this Agreement to a successor business entity in the event of a merger, consolidation, transfer or sale of the assets of said party. Any purported assignment of this Agreement, other than as provided above, shall be void.
XI. NOTICES: Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests, consents or other communications (each a "Notice") provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be given either (i) by depositing the Notice in the United States mail, addressed to the recipient, postage paid, and registered or certified with return receipt requested or (ii) by delivering the Notice to the recipient in person, by courier, or by facsimile transmission. A Notice given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the party to receive it. Any Notice to any party must be sent to or made at that party’s address (or facsimile number if applicable) given below such party’s signature or such other address or facsimile number as that party may specify by delivering a Notice in compliance with this paragraph.
XII. EQUITABLE RELIEF: Each party recognizes that any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the other party, the extent of which would be difficult and impracticable to assess, and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for such breach. Accordingly, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies at law or in equity available under the circumstances, and notwithstanding any jurisdiction and venue requirements of this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other non-monetary equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the need or requirement of any bond, provided that if a bond is required, the bond shall not exceed $1,000.00.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, intending to be legally bound, have executed this Agreement as of the last date set forth below by the undersigned duly authorized representatives.

WHEREAS, Dealer Pay and COMPANY desire to ensure that appropriate confidentiality obligations are in place to protect Confidential Information from unauthorized access, use and disclosure.
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants made herein, each party hereby agrees as follows:
I. DEFINITIONS:
A. “Confidential Information” as used herein any and all confidential and/or proprietary information concerning the Originating Party’s business and such party’s trade secrets, proprietary data and business data, whether oral or written, tangible or intangible, which is disclosed to or learned by the Receiving Party in the course of the Discussions or otherwise while working with the Originating Party, and/or discovered, developed, conceived, originated, appreciably modified, or prepared in scope of Receiving Party’s relationship with the Originating Party, including but not limited to the following:

B. “Customer” as used herein shall include any person, firm or other business entity which receiving party has directly or indirectly contacted, who have contacted him/her, for whom he/she has conducted training sessions, or whom have been referred to him/her on behalf of Originating Party in regard to originating parties business with respect to the purchase or offering of Originating Party’s products and/or services.

Receiving Party acknowledges that, prior to its relationship with Originating Party and prior to execution of this Agreement, Receiving Party had no knowledge of any of the aforesaid information. Receiving Party therefore agrees that neither it nor its Representatives will at any time make any independent business or personal use of, retain, copy, divulge, disclose, reveal or communicate to any other person or organization (except as expressly authorized in writing by Originating Party, as required to analyze the Business Relationship or as required to fulfill Receiving Party’s obligations to Originating Party) any Confidential Information.

All such information and data shall belong to Originating Party exclusively and Receiving Party shall execute any instruments determined by Originating Party to be reasonably necessary to confirm Originating Party’s ownership thereof.
V. NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND/OR CONTRACTORS: Receiving Party recognizes and acknowledges that, while engaged in Discussions and/or while involved in a Business Relationship, such party will be in a position to utilize Originating Party’s goodwill and have access to and/or utilize Confidential Information of Originating Party that would enable Receiving Party to take advantage of that goodwill and/or Confidential Information to the detriment of the Originating Party, by attempting, for example, to recruit or solicit employees, and/or contractors of Originating Party.

LEGALLY REQUIRED DISCLOSURES: If Receiving Party is requested to disclose any Confidential Information of the Originating Party under applicable law, in any judicial or administrative proceeding, or in response to a formal request of a regulatory or governmental authority (including law enforcement), then, except as otherwise required to comply with applicable law, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Originating Party of such request so that Originating Party may resist such disclosure or seek an appropriate protective order, and shall provide all information and assistance reasonably requested by Originating Party in connection therewith, at the Originating Party’s sole expense. If the Receiving Party is nonetheless compelled to disclose any Confidential Information of the Originating Party, the Receiving Party shall limit its disclosure to that which, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, is required under applicable law.
IV. NO REVERSE ENGINEERING; WORK PRODUCT: Receiving Party shall not reverse-engineer, analyze, attempt to duplicate or otherwise attempt to determine the design or method of compiling samples, prototypes or products of the Originating Party except pursuant to a mutually acceptable, written agreement executed by the parties. In the event that Receiving Party performs any services or testing for or on behalf of Originating Party without entering into such a written agreement, then any information or data developed by Receiving Party in connection with such services or tests shall be considered the Originating Party’s Confidential Information and shall be maintained as such and kept confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All such information and data shall belong to Originating Party exclusively and Receiving Party shall execute any instruments determined by Originating Party to be reasonably necessary to confirm Originating Party’s ownership thereof.
V. NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND/OR CONTRACTORS: Receiving Party recognizes and acknowledges that, while engaged in Discussions and/or while involved in a Business Relationship, such party will be in a position to utilize Originating Party’s goodwill and have access to and/or utilize Confidential Information of Originating Party that would enable Receiving Party to take advantage of that goodwill and/or Confidential Information to the detriment of the Originating Party, by attempting, for example, to recruit or solicit employees, and/or contractors of Originating Party. Receiving Party agrees and acknowledges that this would have the effect of causing the cessation or curtailment of the Business Relationship and would otherwise unfairly damage the business prospects of Originating Party. Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements made in this Agreement, during the course of the Business Relationship and for a period of 36 months after termination of the Business Relationship, Receiving Party agrees not to directly or indirectly communicate, solicit, induce, hire, recruit, take away, employ, endeavor to employ (on Receiving Party’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity) or attempt to influence any employee or contractor in any way that may have the effect of causing the cessation or curtailment of their respective relationships with Originating Party.
VI. NO COMMITMENT; NO LICENSE; NO WARRANTY: Neither party shall be obligated under this Agreement to commence or continue with any Discussions, enter into any particular Business Relationship, or disclose any particular Confidential Information to the other party. No express or implied license under any intellectual property rights of either party is granted or conveyed to the other party under this Agreement. ALL CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND DISCLOSER DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
VII. ATTORNEY'S FEES: If any legal action is brought by any party hereto, it is expressly agreed that the prevailing party in such action or dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party attorney's fees and costs in addition to any other relief that may be awarded. For the purpose of this Paragraph, the "prevailing party" shall be the party in whose favor a final judgment is entered.
VIII. SEVERABILITY: It is the intent and agreement of the parties to this agreement that, in case any one or more of the provisions of this agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this agreement and this agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein except that this shall not prohibit any modification allowed or agreed upon pursuant to the terms of this agreement or any right of reformation.
IX. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the procedural and substantive laws of the State of Missouri. The parties to this Agreement consent and designate St. Louis County, Missouri as the sole venue and location for any suit or other proceeding of any kind regarding any aspect of this agreement and all issues arising out of or relating to the independent relationship between the parties.
X. ASSIGNMENT: This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and the assigns of all parties herein. Each party may assign or transfer this Agreement to a successor business entity in the event of a merger, consolidation, transfer or sale of the assets of said party. Any purported assignment of this Agreement, other than as provided above, shall be void.
XI. NOTICES: Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests, consents or other communications (each a "Notice") provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be given either (i) by depositing the Notice in the United States mail, addressed to the recipient, postage paid, and registered or certified with return receipt requested or (ii) by delivering the Notice to the recipient in person, by courier, or by facsimile transmission. A Notice given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the party to receive it. Any Notice to any party must be sent to or made at that party’s address (or facsimile number if applicable) given below such party’s signature or such other address or facsimile number as that party may specify by delivering a Notice in compliance with this paragraph.
XII. EQUITABLE RELIEF: Each party recognizes that any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the other party, the extent of which would be difficult and impracticable to assess, and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for such breach. Accordingly, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies at law or in equity available under the circumstances, and notwithstanding any jurisdiction and venue requirements of this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other non-monetary equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the need or requirement of any bond, provided that if a bond is required, the bond shall not exceed $1,000.00.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, intending to be legally bound, have executed this Agreement as of the last date set forth below by the undersigned duly authorized representatives.

NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT: Both parties recognizes and acknowledges that, in an effort to foster the Discussions one or both of the parties has provided and/or will provide, at no cost, fee, charge or expense to Receiving Party, Confidential Information of a special and unique value and nature developed and/or acquired by (and/or being developed or acquired by) Originating Party at great expense and cost to Originating Party which, if it were to come into the possession of Originating Party’s competitors, would cause irreparable damage to Originating Party, its competitive advantage and its ability to operate profitably. Receiving Party acknowledges that, prior to its relationship with Originating Party and prior to execution of this Agreement, Receiving Party had no knowledge of any of the aforesaid information. Receiving Party therefore agrees that neither it nor its Representatives will at any time make any independent business or personal use of, retain, copy, divulge, disclose, reveal or communicate to any other person or organization (except as expressly authorized in writing by Originating Party, as required to analyze the Business Relationship or as required to fulfill Receiving Party’s obligations to Originating Party) any Confidential Information. Both parties agree that the obligations under this Agreement are in addition to all duties and obligations imposed upon each party by operation of law including but not limited to common-law and statute. Both parties further agree that their obligations under this paragraph survive the termination of the relationship between the two parties.
III. LEGALLY REQUIRED DISCLOSURES: If Receiving Party is requested to disclose any Confidential Information of the Originating Party under applicable law, in any judicial or administrative proceeding, or in response to a formal request of a regulatory or governmental authority (including law enforcement), then, except as otherwise required to comply with applicable law, the Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Originating Party of such request so that Originating Party may resist such disclosure or seek an appropriate protective order, and shall provide all information and assistance reasonably requested by Originating Party in connection therewith, at the Originating Party’s sole expense. If the Receiving Party is nonetheless compelled to disclose any Confidential Information of the Originating Party, the Receiving Party shall limit its disclosure to that which, in the reasonable opinion of counsel, is required under applicable law.
IV. NO REVERSE ENGINEERING; WORK PRODUCT: Receiving Party shall not reverse-engineer, analyze, attempt to duplicate or otherwise attempt to determine the design or method of compiling samples, prototypes or products of the Originating Party except pursuant to a mutually acceptable, written agreement executed by the parties. In the event that Receiving Party performs any services or testing for or on behalf of Originating Party without entering into such a written agreement, then any information or data developed by Receiving Party in connection with such services or tests shall be considered the Originating Party’s Confidential Information and shall be maintained as such and kept confidential in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. All such information and data shall belong to Originating Party exclusively and Receiving Party shall execute any instruments determined by Originating Party to be reasonably necessary to confirm Originating Party’s ownership thereof.
V. NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND/OR CONTRACTORS: Receiving Party recognizes and acknowledges that, while engaged in Discussions and/or while involved in a Business Relationship, such party will be in a position to utilize Originating Party’s goodwill and have access to and/or utilize Confidential Information of Originating Party that would enable Receiving Party to take advantage of that goodwill and/or Confidential Information to the detriment of the Originating Party, by attempting, for example, to recruit or solicit employees, and/or contractors of Originating Party. Receiving Party agrees and acknowledges that this would have the effect of causing the cessation or curtailment of the Business Relationship and would otherwise unfairly damage the business prospects of Originating Party. Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements made in this Agreement, during the course of the Business Relationship and for a period of 36 months after termination of the Business Relationship, Receiving Party agrees not to directly or indirectly communicate, solicit, induce, hire, recruit, take away, employ, endeavor to employ (on Receiving Party’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity) or attempt to influence any employee or contractor in any way that may have the effect of causing the cessation or curtailment of their respective relationships with Originating Party.
VI. NO COMMITMENT; NO LICENSE; NO WARRANTY: Neither party shall be obligated under this Agreement to commence or continue with any Discussions, enter into any particular Business Relationship, or disclose any particular Confidential Information to the other party. No express or implied license under any intellectual property rights of either party is granted or conveyed to the other party under this Agreement. ALL CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND DISCLOSER DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
VII. ATTORNEY'S FEES: If any legal action is brought by any party hereto, it is expressly agreed that the prevailing party in such action or dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party attorney's fees and costs in addition to any other relief that may be awarded. For the purpose of this Paragraph, the "prevailing party" shall be the party in whose favor a final judgment is entered.
VIII. SEVERABILITY: It is the intent and agreement of the parties to this agreement that, in case any one or more of the provisions of this agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this agreement and this agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein except that this shall not prohibit any modification allowed or agreed upon pursuant to the terms of this agreement or any right of reformation.
IX. GOVERNING LAW AND VENUE: This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the procedural and substantive laws of the State of Missouri. The parties to this Agreement consent and designate St. Louis County, Missouri as the sole venue and location for any suit or other proceeding of any kind regarding any aspect of this agreement and all issues arising out of or relating to the independent relationship between the parties.
X. ASSIGNMENT: This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and the assigns of all parties herein. Each party may assign or transfer this Agreement to a successor business entity in the event of a merger, consolidation, transfer or sale of the assets of said party. Any purported assignment of this Agreement, other than as provided above, shall be void.
XI. NOTICES: Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests, consents or other communications (each a "Notice") provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be given either (i) by depositing the Notice in the United States mail, addressed to the recipient, postage paid, and registered or certified with return receipt requested or (ii) by delivering the Notice to the recipient in person, by courier, or by facsimile transmission. A Notice given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the party to receive it. Any Notice to any party must be sent to or made at that party’s address (or facsimile number if applicable) given below such party’s signature or such other address or facsimile number as that party may specify by delivering a Notice in compliance with this paragraph.
XII. EQUITABLE RELIEF: Each party recognizes that any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the other party, the extent of which would be difficult and impracticable to assess, and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for such breach. Accordingly, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies at law or in equity available under the circumstances, and notwithstanding any jurisdiction and venue requirements of this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other non-monetary equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the need or requirement of any bond, provided that if a bond is required, the bond shall not exceed $1,000.00.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, intending to be legally bound, have executed this Agreement as of the last date set forth below by the undersigned duly authorized representatives.

Receiving Party acknowledges that, prior to its relationship with Originating Party and prior to execution of this Agreement, Receiving Party had no knowledge of any of the aforesaid information. Receiving Party therefore agrees that neither it nor its Representatives will at any time make any independent business or personal use of, retain, copy, divulge, disclose, reveal or communicate to any other person or organization (except as expressly authorized in writing by Originating Party, as required to analyze the Business Relationship or as required to fulfill Receiving Party’s obligations to Originating Party) any Confidential Information. Both parties agree that the obligations under this Agreement are in addition to all duties and obligations imposed upon each party by operation of law including but not limited to common-law and statute.

All such information and data shall belong to Originating Party exclusively and Receiving Party shall execute any instruments determined by Originating Party to be reasonably necessary to confirm Originating Party’s ownership thereof.
V. NON-SOLICITATION OF EMPLOYEES AND/OR CONTRACTORS: Receiving Party recognizes and acknowledges that, while engaged in Discussions and/or while involved in a Business Relationship, such party will be in a position to utilize Originating Party’s goodwill and have access to and/or utilize Confidential Information of Originating Party that would enable Receiving Party to take advantage of that goodwill and/or Confidential Information to the detriment of the Originating Party, by attempting, for example, to recruit or solicit employees, and/or contractors of Originating Party. Receiving Party agrees and acknowledges that this would have the effect of causing the cessation or curtailment of the Business Relationship and would otherwise unfairly damage the business prospects of Originating Party. Therefore, in consideration of the mutual agreements made in this Agreement, during the course of the Business Relationship and for a period of 36 months after termination of the Business Relationship, Receiving Party agrees not to directly or indirectly communicate, solicit, induce, hire, recruit, take away, employ, endeavor to employ (on Receiving Party’s own behalf or on behalf of any other person or entity) or attempt to influence any employee or contractor in any way that may have the effect of causing the cessation or curtailment of their respective relationships with Originating Party.

No express or implied license under any intellectual property rights of either party is granted or conveyed to the other party under this Agreement. ALL CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION IS PROVIDED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND DISCLOSER DISCLAIMS ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
VII. ATTORNEY'S FEES: If any legal action is brought by any party hereto, it is expressly agreed that the prevailing party in such action or dispute shall be entitled to recover from the other party attorney's fees and costs in addition to any other relief that may be awarded. For the purpose of this Paragraph, the "prevailing party" shall be the party in whose favor a final judgment is entered.
VIII. SEVERABILITY: It is the intent and agreement of the parties to this agreement that, in case any one or more of the provisions of this agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect any other provision of this agreement and this agreement shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision had never been contained herein except that this shall not prohibit any modification allowed or agreed upon pursuant to the terms of this agreement or any right of reformation.

The parties to this Agreement consent and designate St. Louis County, Missouri as the sole venue and location for any suit or other proceeding of any kind regarding any aspect of this agreement and all issues arising out of or relating to the independent relationship between the parties.
X. ASSIGNMENT: This Agreement is binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and the successors and the assigns of all parties herein. Each party may assign or transfer this Agreement to a successor business entity in the event of a merger, consolidation, transfer or sale of the assets of said party. Any purported assignment of this Agreement, other than as provided above, shall be void.
XI. NOTICES: Except as expressly set forth to the contrary in this Agreement, all notices, requests, consents or other communications (each a "Notice") provided for or permitted to be given under this Agreement must be in writing and must be given either (i) by depositing the Notice in the United States mail, addressed to the recipient, postage paid, and registered or certified with return receipt requested or (ii) by delivering the Notice to the recipient in person, by courier, or by facsimile transmission. A Notice given under this Agreement is effective on receipt by the party to receive it. Any Notice to any party must be sent to or made at that party’s address (or facsimile number if applicable) given below such party’s signature or such other address or facsimile number as that party may specify by delivering a Notice in compliance with this paragraph.
XII. EQUITABLE RELIEF: Each party recognizes that any actual or threatened breach of the provisions of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm to the other party, the extent of which would be difficult and impracticable to assess, and that money damages would not be an adequate remedy for such breach. Accordingly, in addition to and not in limitation of any other remedies at law or in equity available under the circumstances, and notwithstanding any jurisdiction and venue requirements of this Agreement, each party shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other non-monetary equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction without the need or requirement of any bond, provided that if a bond is required, the bond shall not exceed $1,000.00.
