(a) Upon the request of COMPANY, XPLORE will return or destroy (at XPLORE’S option) all COMPANY Information and any notes, correspondence, analyses, documents or other records containing COMPANY Information, including all copies thereof, then in the possession of XPLORE or its Representatives. Such return, however, does not abrogate the continuing obligations of XPLORE under this Agreement.

Each Party understands and agrees that if it or any of its Representatives breaches or threatens to breach any of the provisions of this Agreement (i) money damages would be an insufficient remedy, (ii) that the other Party would be irreparably damaged and (iii) that without prejudice to the rights and remedies otherwise available to the other Party, the other Party is entitled to seek equitable relief by way of injunction, specific performance or otherwise. 15. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the law of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of laws.

(the “Company”), you have requested financial and other information concerning the business and affairs of the Company. As a condition to the Company’s furnishing to you and your representatives financial and other information which has not theretofore been made available to the public, you and your representatives agree to treat all such non-public information furnished to you and your representatives in writing or orally by the Company or its representatives on and after the date of this agreement (herein collectively referred to as the “Confidential Evaluation Material”), as follows: (1) You and your representatives recognize and acknowledge the competitive value and confidential nature of the Confidential Evaluation Material and the damage that could result to the Company if information contained therein is disclosed to any third party. You and your representatives also recognize and acknowledge that the Confidential Evaluation Material is being provided to you and your representatives in reliance upon your and their acceptance of the terms of this agreement. (2) You and your representatives agree that the Confidential Evaluation Material will be used solely for the purpose of evaluating the proposed transaction. You also agree that you and your officers, employees, financing sources, consultants, Affiliates, agents and advisors, herein collectively referred to as “your representatives,” will not disclose or permit the disclosure of any of the Confidential Evaluation Material now or hereafter received or obtained from the Company or its representatives to any third party or otherwise use or permit the use of the Confidential Evaluation Material in any way detrimental to the Company, except as required by court order or legal process, without the prior written consent of the Company, provided, however, that any such information may be disclosed to such of your representatives who need to know such information for the purpose of evaluating the proposed transaction and who are advised of this agreement and agree to keep such information confidential and to be bound by this agreement to the same extent as if they were parties hereto, it being understood that you shall be responsible for any breach of this agreement by your representatives; provided, however, that you shall not be responsible for any failure to comply with the terms of this agreement by any of your representatives that (i) is not one of your officers, employees or Affiliates and (ii) has signed an undertaking in favor of the Company and you to the effect of Annex A hereto. (3) In the event you or your representatives receive a request to disclose Confidential Evaluation Material pursuant to any court order or legal process, you or your representatives will give the Company prompt written notice thereof so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order. You and your representatives agree to cooperate (at the Company’s expense) as reasonably requested by the Company in its efforts to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Evaluation Material. If you or your representatives are ultimately required to disclose such Confidential Evaluation Material, you or your representatives shall disclose only so much thereof as necessary to comply with such court order or legal process.

Either party hereto shall be permitted to disclose any fact or information covered by this paragraph 4 to the same extent, and under the same conditions, as you are permitted to disclose Confidential Evaluation Material pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3 hereof. Nothing in this paragraph (4) shall be construed to prevent or limit the Company’s or its representatives’ right to disclose, discuss, negotiate or enter into a transaction of the nature discussed by you and the Company with any other person or entity or provide information regarding the Company to any other person or entity. (5) In the event that the transaction contemplated by this agreement is not consummated, neither you nor any of your representatives shall, without prior written consent of the Company, use any of the Confidential Evaluation Material now or hereafter received or obtained from the Company or its representatives for any purposes other than your evaluation of such transaction. (6) At any time upon the Company’s request, all Confidential Evaluation Material (and all copies, summaries, and notes of the contents or parts thereof) shall be returned or, if you so choose, destroyed and not retained by you or your representatives in any form or for any reason and written certification to that effect will be sent by you to the Company within 30 days of such request; provided, however, that you and your representatives shall not be obligated to return or destroy the Confidential Evaluation Material if, and to the extent, otherwise required by any applicable law, regulation, policy or procedures relating to the retention, back-up storage or automatic archiving of files and data. Any Confidential Evaluation Material that is retained by you or your representatives for the sole purpose of compliance with such law, regulation, policy or procedures shall not be used for any purpose other than to evidence compliance therewith and such retained material and information shall continue to be subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in this letter agreement, which obligations shall survive any termination hereof. All the Confidential Evaluation Material will be and remains the property of the Company. (7) The following information provided by the Company shall not be deemed Confidential Evaluation Material: (A) any information that is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of an improper disclosure by you or your representatives; (B) any information which becomes legally available to you from a source other than the Company that is not, to your knowledge after reasonable inquiry, bound by a confidentiality obligation to the Company; (C) any information that is already in your possession as of the date hereof or (D) any information that is independently developed by you without use of or reference to the Confidential Evaluation Material.

The parties acknowledge and agree that neither shall have any legally binding commitment for a transaction unless set forth in a separate written agreement that is executed and delivered by both of them.

Q: Receiving Party shall not reverse engineer any objects which embody Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. Text: Exhibit (d)(2) NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of January 12, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by and between Pitney Bowes Inc., a company having a place of business at 3001 Summer Street, Stamford, CT 06905 (together with its subsidiaries and other affiliates, “PBI”), and Borderfree, Inc., a company having a place of business at 292 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates “Borderfree”). The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

Q: Agreement shall not grant Receiving Party any right to Confidential Information. Text: Exhibit (d)(2) NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of January 12, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by and between Pitney Bowes Inc., a company having a place of business at 3001 Summer Street, Stamford, CT 06905 (together with its subsidiaries and other affiliates, “PBI”), and Borderfree, Inc., a company having a place of business at 292 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates “Borderfree”). The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

Q: Receiving Party shall not disclose the fact that Agreement was agreed or negotiated. Text: Exhibit (d)(2) NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of January 12, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by and between Pitney Bowes Inc., a company having a place of business at 3001 Summer Street, Stamford, CT 06905 (together with its subsidiaries and other affiliates, “PBI”), and Borderfree, Inc., a company having a place of business at 292 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates “Borderfree”). The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice.

The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

Q: All Confidential Information shall be expressly identified by the Disclosing Party. Text: Exhibit (d)(2) NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of January 12, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by and between Pitney Bowes Inc., a company having a place of business at 3001 Summer Street, Stamford, CT 06905 (together with its subsidiaries and other affiliates, “PBI”), and Borderfree, Inc., a company having a place of business at 292 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates “Borderfree”). The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

Q: Some obligations of Agreement may survive termination of Agreement. Text: Exhibit (d)(2) NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of January 12, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by and between Pitney Bowes Inc., a company having a place of business at 3001 Summer Street, Stamford, CT 06905 (together with its subsidiaries and other affiliates, “PBI”), and Borderfree, Inc., a company having a place of business at 292 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates “Borderfree”). The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

Q: Receiving Party may retain some Confidential Information even after the return or destruction of Confidential Information. Text: Exhibit (d)(2) NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of January 12, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by and between Pitney Bowes Inc., a company having a place of business at 3001 Summer Street, Stamford, CT 06905 (together with its subsidiaries and other affiliates, “PBI”), and Borderfree, Inc., a company having a place of business at 292 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates “Borderfree”). The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice.

The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern.

PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest.

The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

Q: Receiving Party shall not solicit some of Disclosing Party's representatives. Text: Exhibit (d)(2) NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of January 12, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by and between Pitney Bowes Inc., a company having a place of business at 3001 Summer Street, Stamford, CT 06905 (together with its subsidiaries and other affiliates, “PBI”), and Borderfree, Inc., a company having a place of business at 292 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates “Borderfree”). The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

Q: Receiving Party may share some Confidential Information with some third-parties (including consultants, agents and professional advisors). Text: Exhibit (d)(2) NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of January 12, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by and between Pitney Bowes Inc., a company having a place of business at 3001 Summer Street, Stamford, CT 06905 (together with its subsidiaries and other affiliates, “PBI”), and Borderfree, Inc., a company having a place of business at 292 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates “Borderfree”). The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information.

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”).

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances.

For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties.

Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

Q: Receiving Party shall notify Disclosing Party in case Receiving Party is required by law, regulation or judicial process to disclose any Confidential Information. Text: Exhibit (d)(2) NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of January 12, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by and between Pitney Bowes Inc., a company having a place of business at 3001 Summer Street, Stamford, CT 06905 (together with its subsidiaries and other affiliates, “PBI”), and Borderfree, Inc., a company having a place of business at 292 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates “Borderfree”). The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy.

The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2.

The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

Q: Receiving Party may share some Confidential Information with some of Receiving Party's employees. Text: Exhibit (d)(2) NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of January 12, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by and between Pitney Bowes Inc., a company having a place of business at 3001 Summer Street, Stamford, CT 06905 (together with its subsidiaries and other affiliates, “PBI”), and Borderfree, Inc., a company having a place of business at 292 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates “Borderfree”). The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20. Each party acknowledges that it may receive material non-public information in connection with its evaluation of the Transaction and that it is aware (and will so advise any person, including its Representatives, to whom it provides Confidential Information) that the United States and other securities laws as may be applicable impose restrictions on trading in securities when in possession of such information and such laws prohibit the communication of such information to any other person when it is reasonably foreseeable that such other person is likely to purchase or sell such securities in reliance upon such information. The Disclosing Party acknowledges that it is not acting as an advisor to the Receiving Party and will not receive any amount that could be construed as a “minimum fee” within the meaning of United States Treas. Reg. Section 1.6011-4(b)(3) (or any successor thereto). In the event one party claims that the Transaction is a proprietary or exclusive transaction, then that party will confirm in writing to the other party that there is no limitation on disclosure of the United States federal tax treatment or tax structure of the Transaction. 21. No failure or delay by a party to this Agreement in exercising any right, power or privilege under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor will any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other right or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. 22. This Agreement shall terminate three (3) years from the Effective Date, and upon termination, neither party shall thereafter have any obligation to the other party under this Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties, by their duly authorized representatives, have executed this Agreement. PITNEY BOWES INC. BORDERFREE, INC.

Q: Receiving Party shall not use any Confidential Information for any purpose other than the purposes stated in Agreement. Text: Exhibit (d)(2) NON-DISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This AGREEMENT is effective as of January 12, 2015 (“Effective Date”) by and between Pitney Bowes Inc., a company having a place of business at 3001 Summer Street, Stamford, CT 06905 (together with its subsidiaries and other affiliates, “PBI”), and Borderfree, Inc., a company having a place of business at 292 Madison Avenue, 5th Floor, New York, NY 10017 (together with its subsidiaries and affiliates “Borderfree”). The parties hereto agree as follows: 1. PBI and Borderfree each have an interest in exploring a possible negotiated business transaction (the “Transaction”) relating to the potential acquisition of Borderfree (the “Business”). To explore the Transaction, it may be necessary for each party to disclose certain Confidential Information to the other party. “Confidential Information” shall mean any information disclosed or provided to one party (the “Receiving Party”) on or after the Effective Date by or on behalf of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”), which the Disclosing Party has not released publicly and which the Disclosing Party considers confidential and/or in which the Disclosing Party has a proprietary interest. Confidential Information includes, without limitation, information, know-how, specifications, materials, models, plans, discoveries, trade secrets (as such term is defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act in effect on the Effective Date), records, data, business, marketing, manufacturing and financial records, operations and strategies, invention plans, distribution channels, and technical and product information, customer data, product services, information of the Disclosing Party’s subsidiaries and entities under its control and other communications concerning the Transaction and/or the Disclosing Party’s business and operations, together with all portions of analyses, compilations, notes, studies and other documents prepared by or for the benefit of the Receiving Party which contain or otherwise reflect any of the foregoing. The term Confidential Information also includes, without limitation: (a) the identity (by name or identifiable description) of the parties hereto; (b) the fact that the parties hereto are considering a Transaction; and (c) all analyses, compilations, forecasts, summaries, studies or other materials prepared by the Receiving Party and its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with their review of, or the Receiving Party’s interest in, the Transaction which, in whole or in part, contain or reflect or are based on any information referred to in this Section (“Analyses”). All information not meeting the requirements of this Section shall be considered non-confidential. 2. For a period of three (3) years from the date of initial disclosure, Confidential Information received by the Receiving Party from the Disclosing Party hereunder shall be: (a) held in confidence by the Receiving Party and not disclosed to any third party; and (b) used by the Receiving Party only for the purpose of evaluating and completing the Transaction. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information on a need to know basis to its and its affiliates’ officers, directors, employees, consultants and advisors (including, without limitation, financial advisors, investment banks, the agents and lenders under the Receiving Party’s existing credit facilities, attorneys and accountants) (“Representatives”) who have a need to know such information for purposes of evaluation and completion of the Transaction; provided that such Representatives shall be bound by terms of confidentiality and non-use consistent with those set forth in this Agreement. Each party will direct its Representatives not to disclose to any other person either: (a) the fact that the Confidential Information exists or has been made available to the Receiving Party, (b) that the parties are considering the Transaction, or (c) that discussions or negotiations are taking place or have taken place between the parties concerning the Transaction or any of the terms, conditions or other facts relating to the Transaction with the Receiving Party or such discussions or negotiations, including the status thereof or the subject matter of this Agreement (the matters described in the foregoing clauses (a)-(c) being referred to herein as “Transaction Information”). Each party agrees to be responsible for any breaches of any of the provisions of this Agreement by any of its Representatives (it being understood that such responsibility shall be in addition to and not by way of limitation of any right or remedy a party may have against the other party’s Representatives with respect to such breach). 3. The term Confidential Information does not include any information which: (a) is or becomes publicly available other than as a result of a disclosure by the Receiving Party or its Representatives in violation of this Agreement or other obligation of confidentiality, or (b) is or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source (other than the Disclosing Party or its Representatives) who is not known by the Receiving Party to be prohibited from disclosing such information by a legal, contractual or fiduciary obligation, or (c) is already in the Receiving Party’s or its Representatives’ possession (other than information furnished by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party), or (d) is independently developed by a party or any of its Representatives without violating any of such party’s obligations hereunder or without reference to the Confidential Information. 4. Unless otherwise agreed to by PBI in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to one or more members of the Pitney Bowes Corporate Development Department (the “PBI Contacts”). Contact information for the PBI Contacts is included in Exhibit A to this Agreement. Unless otherwise agreed to by Borderfree in writing, and without limiting any communications permitted by the last sentence of Section 12, (a) all communications regarding the Transaction, (b) requests for additional information, (c) requests for facility tours or management meetings, and (d) discussions or questions regarding procedures, timing and terms of the Transaction, will be submitted or directed exclusively to any of the contacts at Borderfree included in Exhibit A to this Agreement (the “Borderfree Contacts”). 5. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary provided in this Agreement other than, and subject to, Section 12 of this Agreement, in the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives receives a request pursuant to or is required by law, rule, regulation, deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process or pursuant to a formal request from a regulatory examiner (any such requested or required disclosure, an “External Demand”) to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or Transaction Information, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, agree to (to the extent practicable and legally permissible) (a) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding such External Demand, (b) consult with the Disclosing Party on the advisability of taking legally available steps to resist or narrow such request or disclosure, and (c) assist the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, in seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy to the extent available under the circumstances. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, unless the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, the Receiving Party or its Representatives, as the case may be, may disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information or Transaction Information which it or its Representatives are advised by counsel is legally required to be disclosed and to only those persons to whom the Receiving Party or its Representatives are advised by counsel are legally required to receive such information, and the Receiving Party and its Representatives shall, at the Disclosing Party’s expense, exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information or Transaction Information. For the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall PBI be permitted to make any disclosure of Confidential Information in response to any External Demand that arises from an action taken by PBI in violation of Section 12 of this Agreement. 6. Confidential Information shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party at all times. If the Receiving Party determines not to proceed with the Transaction, the Receiving Party will promptly inform the Disclosing Party of that decision and, in that case, upon the request of the Disclosing Party or any of its Representatives, the Receiving Party will: (a) destroy all copies of the written Confidential Information in the Receiving Party’s possession (other than any of your own Analyses), and (b) promptly destroy all the Disclosing Party’s Analyses; provided however, that nothing in this Agreement shall require the destruction of investment memoranda prepared by the Receiving Party in the ordinary course of business and retained in accordance with the Receiving Party’s general retention policies or computer backup tapes or copies of Confidential Information or Analyses created pursuant to automated archiving or backup procedures; and provided further that the Receiving Party’s records department may retain one copy of such Confidential Information, subject to the terms of this Agreement, solely for compliance with legal or regulatory obligations or pursuant to its internal document retention policies. The Receiving Party will certify such destruction to the Disclosing Party, in writing signed by one of the Receiving Party’s authorized Representatives. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Confidential Information, the Receiving Party and its Representatives will continue to be bound by its and their obligations under this Agreement. 7. Nothing herein shall obligate either party to disclose to or receive from the other party any particular information. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service or item from the other party. Neither party is obligated to compensate the other for the use of any information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction, except as may be otherwise provided in a written agreement between the parties. Unless and until a Definitive Agreement (as defined below) concerning the Transaction has been executed, neither party nor its affiliates nor its or its affiliates’ Representatives shall have any legal obligation to the other party of any kind whatsoever with respect to the Transaction, whether by virtue of this Agreement (except as expressly provided herein), any other written or oral expression with respect to the Transaction, or otherwise. 8. Each party acknowledges that the other party may: (a) explore opportunities similar to the Transaction with other companies that may be competitors of the acknowledging party; or (b) be involved in activities which are competitive with or complementary to the acknowledging party’s activities by internal development, acquisition, joint venture, and/or other means. Nothing agreed to herein shall prevent either party from such activities; provided, however, that any Confidential Information received under this Agreement may be used only for the purpose of this Transaction and in no event shall be provided to any of such companies. 9. Disclosure of any information under this Agreement shall not be construed as, directly or by implication, (a) granting any license under any United States or foreign patent, patent application or copyright, or any other intellectual property rights, (b) creating any agency or partnership relationship between the parties, or (c) granting the right to use either party’s name, trade names, trademarks, service marks, logos or designs for any purpose, without the other party’s prior written permission. 10. The Disclosing Party represents and warrants that it has the right to disclose the Confidential Information disclosed under this Agreement for the purpose of this Transaction. Neither party nor any of its respective Representatives nor its respective Representatives’ respective officers, directors, employees, agents or controlling persons within the meaning of Section 20 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) makes any representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information or any other information disclosed under this Agreement and each party agrees that none of the foregoing will have any liability under this Agreement to the Receiving Party with respect to the Confidential Information or for any errors therein or omissions therefrom. Each party further agrees that it is not entitled to rely on the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information and that it will be entitled to rely solely on such representations and warranties as may be included in a Definitive Agreement (as defined below), subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be contained therein. The term “Definitive Agreement” means a written agreement with respect to the Transaction, when and as executed and delivered by all the parties thereto, binds the parties thereto to close the Transaction, subject only to such conditions to closing as may be negotiated between the parties, and does not include an executed letter of intent or any other preliminary written agreement, nor does it include any written or verbal acceptance of an offer or bid. 11. Each party agrees that for a period of two (2) years from the date of this Agreement, neither it nor any of its Representatives will, directly or indirectly, solicit for employment or employ any individual serving as an officer of the Disclosing Party or any employee of the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries, in each case with whom the Receiving Party has had substantial contact during its investigation of the Disclosing Party and its business, in each case without obtaining the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party; provided that the Receiving Party may make general solicitations for employment not specifically directed at the Disclosing Party or any of its subsidiaries or their respective employees (including, without limitation, by a bona fide search firm) and solicit and employ (i) any person who responds to such general solicitations, and (ii) any person with whom the Receiving Party was discussing employment prior to the date of this Agreement or with whom the Receiving Party initiates discussions regarding employment after such person is no longer an employee of the Disclosing Party or its subsidiaries. 12. Each party agrees that for a period of one (1) year from the date of this Agreement, unless invited or requested by the other party to do so, neither it nor any of its Representatives will: (a) propose (i) any merger, consolidation, business combination, tender or exchange offer, purchase of the Disclosing Party’s assets or businesses, or similar transactions involving the Disclosing Party or (ii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the Disclosing Party; (b) (i) acquire beneficial ownership of any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party (collectively, a transaction specified in (a)(i), (a) (ii) and (b)(i) involving a majority of the Disclosing Party outstanding capital stock or consolidated assets, is referred to as a “Business Combination”), (ii) propose or seek, whether alone or in concert with others, any “solicitation” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) of proxies or consents to vote any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party, (iii) nominate any person as a director of the Disclosing Party, or (iv) propose any matter to be voted upon by the stockholders of the Disclosing Party; (c) directly or indirectly, form, join or in any way participate in a third party “group” (as such term is used in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) (or discuss with any third party the potential formation of a group) with respect to any securities (including in derivative form) of the Disclosing Party or a Business Combination involving the Disclosing Party; (d) request the Disclosing Party (or any of its Representatives), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this paragraph (including this sentence); or (e) take any action that could reasonably be expected to require the Disclosing Party to make a public announcement regarding a potential Business Combination; provided, however, that the restrictions set forth in this paragraph shall terminate immediately upon the public announcement by the Disclosing Party that it has entered into a definitive agreement with a third party for a transaction involving a Business Combination. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a party may communicate to the board of directors of the other party or any member thereof confidential, non-public offers, proposals or inquiries relating to any potential transaction specified in the foregoing clauses (a)(i), (a)(ii) or (b)(i) with or involving the other party, in each case in a manner that would not require the other party to make a public disclosure thereof. 13. Each party agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach (or threatened breach) of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or its Representatives and that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach (or threatened breach), without proof of damages, and each party further agrees to waive, and use its best efforts to cause its Representatives to waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Agreement, but will be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity. 14. Notices given under this Agreement shall be in writing and delivered by first class, certified mail, by nationally-recognized overnight carrier service or by email (followed by overnight delivery by a nationally-recognized overnight carrier service) to each signatory at the addresses identified on page 1 of this Agreement unless changed by written notice. Unless changed by written notice, notices to Borderfree shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention Michael DeSimone, Chief Executive Officer, with a copy to Office of the General Counsel; and notices to PBI shall be sent to the address set forth above to: Attention: Jeff Brennan, Vice President, Corporate Development & Strategy with a copy to: Attention: Office of the General Counsel. 15. The Disclosing Party does not intend to waive any of the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege with respect to any of its Confidential Information or other materials. To the extent that any Confidential Information or other materials may inadvertently include such privileged information, upon the Disclosing Party’s request the Receiving Party and its Representatives will immediately destroy or return any such Confidential Information and other materials. 16. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, representations and statements, whether oral or written, between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. In the event that the terms or conditions of use or confidentiality or non-disclosure provision of any electronic data room established or maintained by either party or its Representatives conflicts with the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall govern. This Agreement contains the entire Agreement between the parties hereto concerning the subject matter hereof, and no provision of this Agreement may be waived, in whole or in part, nor any consent given, unless approved in writing by a duly authorized representative of the party providing such waiver or consent, which writing specifically refers to this Agreement and the provision for which such waiver or consent is given. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is deemed invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. 17. The terms of this Agreement may be changed, amended or modified, in whole or in part, only by subsequent written agreement duly executed by an authorized representative of each party. Neither party may assign this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party. This Agreement shall be binding on, and shall inure to the benefit of and shall be enforceable by, the parties and their successors and permitted assigns. For the convenience of the parties, this Agreement may be executed by exchange of electronic signatures and in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and both of which taken together, shall constitute one Agreement binding on both parties. 18. This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Delaware applicable to contracts between residents of that State and executed in and to be performed entirely within that State. Each party hereto consents to personal jurisdiction in that State and voluntarily submits to the jurisdiction of the federal and state courts located in the Delaware in any action or proceeding with respect to this Agreement and each party irrevocably waives the right to assert the doctrine of forum non conveniens or a similar doctrine or to object to venue with respect to any action or proceeding brought in any such court. Each party agrees that it may be served with process at its address set forth on the first page hereof. 19. Each party assures the other that it does not intend to, and will not, export or re-export any technical information received under this Agreement, including but not limited to Confidential Information, without compliance with all export control regulations applicable to the Disclosing Party. 20.

Q: Receiving Party shall not reverse engineer any objects which embody Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. Text: Exhibit (d)(3) MUTUAL NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement (this “Agreement”) by and between Convio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Convio”), and Blackbaud, a Delaware corporation (“Potential Buyer” and Convio and Potential Buyer, each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), is dated as of the latest date set forth on the signature page hereto. 1. General. In connection with the consideration of a possible negotiated transaction (a “Possible Transaction”) between the Parties and/or their respective subsidiaries (each such Party being hereinafter referred to, collectively with its subsidiaries, as a “Company”), each Company (in its capacity as a provider of information hereunder, a “Provider”) is prepared to make available to the other Company (in its capacity as a recipient of information hereunder, a “Recipient”) certain “Evaluation Material” (as defined in Section 2 below) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and to take or abstain from taking certain other actions as hereinafter set forth. 2. Definitions. (a) The term “Evaluation Material” means information concerning the Provider which has been or is furnished to the Recipient or its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with the Recipient’s evaluation of a Possible Transaction, including its business, financial condition, operations, assets and liabilities, and includes all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared by the Recipient or its Representatives which contain or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished by the Provider hereunder. The term Evaluation Material does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Recipient or its Representatives in breach of this Agreement, (ii) was within the Recipient’s possession prior to its being furnished to the Recipient by or on behalf of the Provider, provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information, (iii) is or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Provider or its Representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information or (iv) is or has been independently developed by an employee, agent or contractor of the Recipient without use or reference to any information furnished by Provider or its Representatives. (b) The term “Representatives” shall include the directors, officers, employees, agents, partners or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) of the Recipient or Provider, as applicable. (c) The term “Person” includes the media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual or other entity. 3. Use of Evaluation Material. Each Recipient shall, and it shall cause its Representatives to, use the Evaluation Material solely for the purpose of evaluating a Possible Transaction, keep the Evaluation Material confidential, and, subject to Section 5, will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that any of such information may be disclosed to the Recipient’s Representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of helping the Recipient evaluate a Possible Transaction. Each Recipient agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of such Recipient’s Representatives. This Agreement does not grant a Recipient or any of its Representatives any license to use the Provider’s Evaluation Material except as provided herein. 4. Non-Disclosure of Discussions. Subject to Section 5, Potential Buyer agrees that, without the prior written consent of Convio, Potential Buyer will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies, (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction, or (iii) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto (including the status thereof). Potential Buyer acknowledges that Convio is free to disclose (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies or (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction; provided that Convio does not, and causes its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person the identity of Potential Buyer or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to a Possible Transaction except to the extent permitted by Section 5 or as otherwise believed reasonably required or necessary to comply with the fiduciary duties or other obligations applicable to Convio and its directors, officers and employees or with other applicable law. 5. Legally Required Disclosure. If a Recipient or its Representatives are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, other requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 above, such Recipient shall provide the Provider with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement together with copies of the material proposed to be disclosed so that the Provider may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Provider, a Recipient or any of its Representatives is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 or would otherwise be liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, such Recipient or its Representatives may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such requiring Person only that portion of such Evaluation Material or any such facts which the Recipient or its Representatives is legally required to disclose, provided that the Recipient and/or its Representatives cooperate with the Provider to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Evaluation Material or such facts by the Person receiving the material. 6. Return or Destruction of Evaluation Material. If either Company decides that it does not wish to proceed with a Possible Transaction, it will promptly inform the other Company of that decision. In that case, or at any time upon the request of a Provider for any reason, a Recipient will, and will cause its Representatives to, within five business days after receipt of such notice or request, destroy or return all Evaluation Material in any way relating to the Provider or its products, services, employees or other assets or liabilities, and no copy or extract thereof (including electronic copies) shall be retained. The Recipient shall provide to the Provider a certificate of compliance with the previous sentence signed by an executive officer of the Recipient. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Evaluation Material, the Recipient and its Representatives will continue to be bound by such Recipient’s obligations hereunder with respect to such Evaluation Material. 7. No Solicitation/Employment. Neither Recipient will, within twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly solicit the employment or consulting services of or employ or engage as a consultant any of the officers of Provider or any other employees or contractors of the Provider engaged in evaluating the Potential Transaction or information about whom has been provided to Recipient in connection with evaluating the Potential Transaction, so long as they are employed by the Provider and for six months after they cease to be employed by Provider. A Recipient is not prohibited from soliciting by means of a general advertisement not directed at (i) any particular individual or (ii) the employees of the Provider generally. 8. Standstill. Each Company agrees that, for a period of fourteen (14) months after the date of this Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), unless specifically invited in writing by the other Company, neither it nor any of its affiliates (as such term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) or Representatives (acting in any capacity other than as an advisor in any of the following cases) will in any manner, directly or indirectly: (a) effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in, or in any way assist any other Person to effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in: (i) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or assets of the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents to vote any voting securities of the other Company; (b) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the 1934 Act) with respect to the securities of the other Company; (c) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit an unsolicited proposal for or offer of (with or without condition), any extraordinary transaction involving the other Company or its securities or assets; (d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the other Company; (e) take any action which might force the other Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (a) above; or (f) enter into any discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing. Each Company also agrees during the Standstill Period not to request the other Company (or its directors, officers, employees or agents), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 8 (including this sentence).

General. In connection with the consideration of a possible negotiated transaction (a “Possible Transaction”) between the Parties and/or their respective subsidiaries (each such Party being hereinafter referred to, collectively with its subsidiaries, as a “Company”), each Company (in its capacity as a provider of information hereunder, a “Provider”) is prepared to make available to the other Company (in its capacity as a recipient of information hereunder, a “Recipient”) certain “Evaluation Material” (as defined in Section 2 below) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and to take or abstain from taking certain other actions as hereinafter set forth. 2. Definitions. (a) The term “Evaluation Material” means information concerning the Provider which has been or is furnished to the Recipient or its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with the Recipient’s evaluation of a Possible Transaction, including its business, financial condition, operations, assets and liabilities, and includes all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared by the Recipient or its Representatives which contain or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished by the Provider hereunder. The term Evaluation Material does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Recipient or its Representatives in breach of this Agreement, (ii) was within the Recipient’s possession prior to its being furnished to the Recipient by or on behalf of the Provider, provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information, (iii) is or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Provider or its Representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information or (iv) is or has been independently developed by an employee, agent or contractor of the Recipient without use or reference to any information furnished by Provider or its Representatives. (b) The term “Representatives” shall include the directors, officers, employees, agents, partners or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) of the Recipient or Provider, as applicable. (c) The term “Person” includes the media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual or other entity. 3. Use of Evaluation Material. Each Recipient shall, and it shall cause its Representatives to, use the Evaluation Material solely for the purpose of evaluating a Possible Transaction, keep the Evaluation Material confidential, and, subject to Section 5, will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that any of such information may be disclosed to the Recipient’s Representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of helping the Recipient evaluate a Possible Transaction. Each Recipient agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of such Recipient’s Representatives. This Agreement does not grant a Recipient or any of its Representatives any license to use the Provider’s Evaluation Material except as provided herein. 4. Non-Disclosure of Discussions. Subject to Section 5, Potential Buyer agrees that, without the prior written consent of Convio, Potential Buyer will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies, (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction, or (iii) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto (including the status thereof).

Each Company also agrees during the Standstill Period not to request the other Company (or its directors, officers, employees or agents), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 8 (including this sentence).

General. In connection with the consideration of a possible negotiated transaction (a “Possible Transaction”) between the Parties and/or their respective subsidiaries (each such Party being hereinafter referred to, collectively with its subsidiaries, as a “Company”), each Company (in its capacity as a provider of information hereunder, a “Provider”) is prepared to make available to the other Company (in its capacity as a recipient of information hereunder, a “Recipient”) certain “Evaluation Material” (as defined in Section 2 below) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and to take or abstain from taking certain other actions as hereinafter set forth. 2. Definitions. (a) The term “Evaluation Material” means information concerning the Provider which has been or is furnished to the Recipient or its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with the Recipient’s evaluation of a Possible Transaction, including its business, financial condition, operations, assets and liabilities, and includes all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared by the Recipient or its Representatives which contain or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished by the Provider hereunder. The term Evaluation Material does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Recipient or its Representatives in breach of this Agreement, (ii) was within the Recipient’s possession prior to its being furnished to the Recipient by or on behalf of the Provider, provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information, (iii) is or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Provider or its Representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information or (iv) is or has been independently developed by an employee, agent or contractor of the Recipient without use or reference to any information furnished by Provider or its Representatives. (b) The term “Representatives” shall include the directors, officers, employees, agents, partners or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) of the Recipient or Provider, as applicable. (c) The term “Person” includes the media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual or other entity. 3. Use of Evaluation Material. Each Recipient shall, and it shall cause its Representatives to, use the Evaluation Material solely for the purpose of evaluating a Possible Transaction, keep the Evaluation Material confidential, and, subject to Section 5, will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that any of such information may be disclosed to the Recipient’s Representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of helping the Recipient evaluate a Possible Transaction. Each Recipient agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of such Recipient’s Representatives. This Agreement does not grant a Recipient or any of its Representatives any license to use the Provider’s Evaluation Material except as provided herein. 4. Non-Disclosure of Discussions. Subject to Section 5, Potential Buyer agrees that, without the prior written consent of Convio, Potential Buyer will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies, (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction, or (iii) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto (including the status thereof).

Legally Required Disclosure. If a Recipient or its Representatives are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, other requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 above, such Recipient shall provide the Provider with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement together with copies of the material proposed to be disclosed so that the Provider may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Provider, a Recipient or any of its Representatives is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 or would otherwise be liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, such Recipient or its Representatives may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such requiring Person only that portion of such Evaluation Material or any such facts which the Recipient or its Representatives is legally required to disclose, provided that the Recipient and/or its Representatives cooperate with the Provider to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Evaluation Material or such facts by the Person receiving the material. 6. Return or Destruction of Evaluation Material. If either Company decides that it does not wish to proceed with a Possible Transaction, it will promptly inform the other Company of that decision.

No Solicitation/Employment. Neither Recipient will, within twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly solicit the employment or consulting services of or employ or engage as a consultant any of the officers of Provider or any other employees or contractors of the Provider engaged in evaluating the Potential Transaction or information about whom has been provided to Recipient in connection with evaluating the Potential Transaction, so long as they are employed by the Provider and for six months after they cease to be employed by Provider. A Recipient is not prohibited from soliciting by means of a general advertisement not directed at (i) any particular individual or (ii) the employees of the Provider generally. 8. Standstill.

Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Evaluation Material, the Recipient and its Representatives will continue to be bound by such Recipient’s obligations hereunder with respect to such Evaluation Material. 7. No Solicitation/Employment. Neither Recipient will, within twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly solicit the employment or consulting services of or employ or engage as a consultant any of the officers of Provider or any other employees or contractors of the Provider engaged in evaluating the Potential Transaction or information about whom has been provided to Recipient in connection with evaluating the Potential Transaction, so long as they are employed by the Provider and for six months after they cease to be employed by Provider.

Each Company agrees that, for a period of fourteen (14) months after the date of this Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), unless specifically invited in writing by the other Company, neither it nor any of its affiliates (as such term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) or Representatives (acting in any capacity other than as an advisor in any of the following cases) will in any manner, directly or indirectly: (a) effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in, or in any way assist any other Person to effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in: (i) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or assets of the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents to vote any voting securities of the other Company; (b) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the 1934 Act) with respect to the securities of the other Company; (c) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit an unsolicited proposal for or offer of (with or without condition), any extraordinary transaction involving the other Company or its securities or assets; (d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the other Company; (e) take any action which might force the other Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (a) above; or (f) enter into any discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing.

General. In connection with the consideration of a possible negotiated transaction (a “Possible Transaction”) between the Parties and/or their respective subsidiaries (each such Party being hereinafter referred to, collectively with its subsidiaries, as a “Company”), each Company (in its capacity as a provider of information hereunder, a “Provider”) is prepared to make available to the other Company (in its capacity as a recipient of information hereunder, a “Recipient”) certain “Evaluation Material” (as defined in Section 2 below) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and to take or abstain from taking certain other actions as hereinafter set forth. 2. Definitions. (a) The term “Evaluation Material” means information concerning the Provider which has been or is furnished to the Recipient or its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with the Recipient’s evaluation of a Possible Transaction, including its business, financial condition, operations, assets and liabilities, and includes all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared by the Recipient or its Representatives which contain or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished by the Provider hereunder.

Each Recipient shall, and it shall cause its Representatives to, use the Evaluation Material solely for the purpose of evaluating a Possible Transaction, keep the Evaluation Material confidential, and, subject to Section 5, will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that any of such information may be disclosed to the Recipient’s Representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of helping the Recipient evaluate a Possible Transaction. Each Recipient agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of such Recipient’s Representatives. This Agreement does not grant a Recipient or any of its Representatives any license to use the Provider’s Evaluation Material except as provided herein. 4. Non-Disclosure of Discussions.

Each Recipient agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of such Recipient’s Representatives. This Agreement does not grant a Recipient or any of its Representatives any license to use the Provider’s Evaluation Material except as provided herein. 4. Non-Disclosure of Discussions.

No Solicitation/Employment. Neither Recipient will, within twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly solicit the employment or consulting services of or employ or engage as a consultant any of the officers of Provider or any other employees or contractors of the Provider engaged in evaluating the Potential Transaction or information about whom has been provided to Recipient in connection with evaluating the Potential Transaction, so long as they are employed by the Provider and for six months after they cease to be employed by Provider.

Each Company agrees that, for a period of fourteen (14) months after the date of this Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), unless specifically invited in writing by the other Company, neither it nor any of its affiliates (as such term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) or Representatives (acting in any capacity other than as an advisor in any of the following cases) will in any manner, directly or indirectly: (a) effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in, or in any way assist any other Person to effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in: (i) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or assets of the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents to vote any voting securities of the other Company; (b) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the 1934 Act) with respect to the securities of the other Company; (c) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit an unsolicited proposal for or offer of (with or without condition), any extraordinary transaction involving the other Company or its securities or assets; (d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the other Company; (e) take any action which might force the other Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (a) above; or (f) enter into any discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing.

Maintaining Privileges.

All Evaluation Material provided by a Company that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine. 10. Compliance with Securities Laws. Each Recipient agrees that it and its Representatives will not to use any Evaluation Material of the Provider in violation of applicable securities laws. 11.

(a) The term “Evaluation Material” means information concerning the Provider which has been or is furnished to the Recipient or its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with the Recipient’s evaluation of a Possible Transaction, including its business, financial condition, operations, assets and liabilities, and includes all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared by the Recipient or its Representatives which contain or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished by the Provider hereunder. The term Evaluation Material does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Recipient or its Representatives in breach of this Agreement, (ii) was within the Recipient’s possession prior to its being furnished to the Recipient by or on behalf of the Provider, provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information, (iii) is or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Provider or its Representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information or (iv) is or has been independently developed by an employee, agent or contractor of the Recipient without use or reference to any information furnished by Provider or its Representatives. (b) The term “Representatives” shall include the directors, officers, employees, agents, partners or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) of the Recipient or Provider, as applicable. (c) The term “Person” includes the media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual or other entity. 3. Use of Evaluation Material. Each Recipient shall, and it shall cause its Representatives to, use the Evaluation Material solely for the purpose of evaluating a Possible Transaction, keep the Evaluation Material confidential, and, subject to Section 5, will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that any of such information may be disclosed to the Recipient’s Representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of helping the Recipient evaluate a Possible Transaction. Each Recipient agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of such Recipient’s Representatives. This Agreement does not grant a Recipient or any of its Representatives any license to use the Provider’s Evaluation Material except as provided herein. 4. Non-Disclosure of Discussions. Subject to Section 5, Potential Buyer agrees that, without the prior written consent of Convio, Potential Buyer will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies, (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction, or (iii) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto (including the status thereof). Potential Buyer acknowledges that Convio is free to disclose (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies or (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction; provided that Convio does not, and causes its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person the identity of Potential Buyer or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to a Possible Transaction except to the extent permitted by Section 5 or as otherwise believed reasonably required or necessary to comply with the fiduciary duties or other obligations applicable to Convio and its directors, officers and employees or with other applicable law. 5. Legally Required Disclosure. If a Recipient or its Representatives are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, other requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 above, such Recipient shall provide the Provider with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement together with copies of the material proposed to be disclosed so that the Provider may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Provider, a Recipient or any of its Representatives is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 or would otherwise be liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, such Recipient or its Representatives may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such requiring Person only that portion of such Evaluation Material or any such facts which the Recipient or its Representatives is legally required to disclose, provided that the Recipient and/or its Representatives cooperate with the Provider to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Evaluation Material or such facts by the Person receiving the material. 6. Return or Destruction of Evaluation Material. If either Company decides that it does not wish to proceed with a Possible Transaction, it will promptly inform the other Company of that decision.

The Recipient shall provide to the Provider a certificate of compliance with the previous sentence signed by an executive officer of the Recipient. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Evaluation Material, the Recipient and its Representatives will continue to be bound by such Recipient’s obligations hereunder with respect to such Evaluation Material. 7. No Solicitation/Employment. Neither Recipient will, within twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly solicit the employment or consulting services of or employ or engage as a consultant any of the officers of Provider or any other employees or contractors of the Provider engaged in evaluating the Potential Transaction or information about whom has been provided to Recipient in connection with evaluating the Potential Transaction, so long as they are employed by the Provider and for six months after they cease to be employed by Provider. A Recipient is not prohibited from soliciting by means of a general advertisement not directed at (i) any particular individual or (ii) the employees of the Provider generally. 8. Standstill. Each Company agrees that, for a period of fourteen (14) months after the date of this Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), unless specifically invited in writing by the other Company, neither it nor any of its affiliates (as such term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) or Representatives (acting in any capacity other than as an advisor in any of the following cases) will in any manner, directly or indirectly: (a) effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in, or in any way assist any other Person to effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in: (i) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or assets of the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents to vote any voting securities of the other Company; (b) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the 1934 Act) with respect to the securities of the other Company; (c) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit an unsolicited proposal for or offer of (with or without condition), any extraordinary transaction involving the other Company or its securities or assets; (d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the other Company; (e) take any action which might force the other Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (a) above; or (f) enter into any discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing. Each Company also agrees during the Standstill Period not to request the other Company (or its directors, officers, employees or agents), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 8 (including this sentence). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 8 shall terminate with respect to a Company (1) in the event of an Acquisition Transaction (as defined below) with respect to the other Company (the “Acquired Company”) or the commencement by a party other than the Company or its affiliates of a tender or exchange offer for an Acquisition Transaction with respect to the Acquired Company, and either (x) not rejected by the Acquired Company within ten (10) business days thereof or (y) accepted by the Acquired Company, or (2) if the Acquired Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Transaction. “Acquisition Transaction” means any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase (whether through the purchase of shares, merger, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of a Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or (ii) 50% or more of the voting securities of, or equity interests in, a Company or any of its subsidiaries by any person or group other than such Company or its affiliates. 9. Maintaining Privileges. If any Evaluation Material includes materials or information subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, each Company understands and agrees that the Companies have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is the desire, intention and mutual understanding of the Companies that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All Evaluation Material provided by a Company that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine. 10. Compliance with Securities Laws. Each Recipient agrees that it and its Representatives will not to use any Evaluation Material of the Provider in violation of applicable securities laws. 11.

Each Company also agrees that, unless and until a final definitive agreement regarding a Possible Transaction has been executed and delivered, neither Company will be under any legal obligation of any kind whatsoever with respect to such Possible Transaction by virtue of this Agreement except for the matters specifically agreed to herein. Neither Company is under any obligation to accept any proposal regarding a Possible Transaction and either Company may terminate discussions and negotiations with the other Company at any time.

As to the information delivered to the Recipient, each Provider will only be liable for those representations or warranties which are made in a final definitive agreement regarding a Possible Transaction, when, as and if executed, and subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be specified therein.

No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. 14. Remedies. Each Company understands and agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by either Company or any of its Representatives and that the Company against which such breach is committed shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach or threat thereof.

Text: Exhibit (d)(3) MUTUAL NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement (this “Agreement”) by and between Convio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Convio”), and Blackbaud, a Delaware corporation (“Potential Buyer” and Convio and Potential Buyer, each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), is dated as of the latest date set forth on the signature page hereto. 1. General. In connection with the consideration of a possible negotiated transaction (a “Possible Transaction”) between the Parties and/or their respective subsidiaries (each such Party being hereinafter referred to, collectively with its subsidiaries, as a “Company”), each Company (in its capacity as a provider of information hereunder, a “Provider”) is prepared to make available to the other Company (in its capacity as a recipient of information hereunder, a “Recipient”) certain “Evaluation Material” (as defined in Section 2 below) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and to take or abstain from taking certain other actions as hereinafter set forth. 2. Definitions. (a) The term “Evaluation Material” means information concerning the Provider which has been or is furnished to the Recipient or its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with the Recipient’s evaluation of a Possible Transaction, including its business, financial condition, operations, assets and liabilities, and includes all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared by the Recipient or its Representatives which contain or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished by the Provider hereunder. The term Evaluation Material does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Recipient or its Representatives in breach of this Agreement, (ii) was within the Recipient’s possession prior to its being furnished to the Recipient by or on behalf of the Provider, provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information, (iii) is or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Provider or its Representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information or (iv) is or has been independently developed by an employee, agent or contractor of the Recipient without use or reference to any information furnished by Provider or its Representatives. (b) The term “Representatives” shall include the directors, officers, employees, agents, partners or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) of the Recipient or Provider, as applicable. (c) The term “Person” includes the media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual or other entity. 3. Use of Evaluation Material. Each Recipient shall, and it shall cause its Representatives to, use the Evaluation Material solely for the purpose of evaluating a Possible Transaction, keep the Evaluation Material confidential, and, subject to Section 5, will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that any of such information may be disclosed to the Recipient’s Representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of helping the Recipient evaluate a Possible Transaction. Each Recipient agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of such Recipient’s Representatives. This Agreement does not grant a Recipient or any of its Representatives any license to use the Provider’s Evaluation Material except as provided herein. 4. Non-Disclosure of Discussions. Subject to Section 5, Potential Buyer agrees that, without the prior written consent of Convio, Potential Buyer will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies, (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction, or (iii) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto (including the status thereof). Potential Buyer acknowledges that Convio is free to disclose (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies or (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction; provided that Convio does not, and causes its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person the identity of Potential Buyer or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to a Possible Transaction except to the extent permitted by Section 5 or as otherwise believed reasonably required or necessary to comply with the fiduciary duties or other obligations applicable to Convio and its directors, officers and employees or with other applicable law. 5. Legally Required Disclosure. If a Recipient or its Representatives are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, other requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 above, such Recipient shall provide the Provider with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement together with copies of the material proposed to be disclosed so that the Provider may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Provider, a Recipient or any of its Representatives is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 or would otherwise be liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, such Recipient or its Representatives may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such requiring Person only that portion of such Evaluation Material or any such facts which the Recipient or its Representatives is legally required to disclose, provided that the Recipient and/or its Representatives cooperate with the Provider to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Evaluation Material or such facts by the Person receiving the material. 6. Return or Destruction of Evaluation Material. If either Company decides that it does not wish to proceed with a Possible Transaction, it will promptly inform the other Company of that decision. In that case, or at any time upon the request of a Provider for any reason, a Recipient will, and will cause its Representatives to, within five business days after receipt of such notice or request, destroy or return all Evaluation Material in any way relating to the Provider or its products, services, employees or other assets or liabilities, and no copy or extract thereof (including electronic copies) shall be retained. The Recipient shall provide to the Provider a certificate of compliance with the previous sentence signed by an executive officer of the Recipient. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Evaluation Material, the Recipient and its Representatives will continue to be bound by such Recipient’s obligations hereunder with respect to such Evaluation Material. 7. No Solicitation/Employment. Neither Recipient will, within twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly solicit the employment or consulting services of or employ or engage as a consultant any of the officers of Provider or any other employees or contractors of the Provider engaged in evaluating the Potential Transaction or information about whom has been provided to Recipient in connection with evaluating the Potential Transaction, so long as they are employed by the Provider and for six months after they cease to be employed by Provider. A Recipient is not prohibited from soliciting by means of a general advertisement not directed at (i) any particular individual or (ii) the employees of the Provider generally. 8. Standstill. Each Company agrees that, for a period of fourteen (14) months after the date of this Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), unless specifically invited in writing by the other Company, neither it nor any of its affiliates (as such term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) or Representatives (acting in any capacity other than as an advisor in any of the following cases) will in any manner, directly or indirectly: (a) effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in, or in any way assist any other Person to effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in: (i) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or assets of the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents to vote any voting securities of the other Company; (b) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the 1934 Act) with respect to the securities of the other Company; (c) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit an unsolicited proposal for or offer of (with or without condition), any extraordinary transaction involving the other Company or its securities or assets; (d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the other Company; (e) take any action which might force the other Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (a) above; or (f) enter into any discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing. Each Company also agrees during the Standstill Period not to request the other Company (or its directors, officers, employees or agents), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 8 (including this sentence). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 8 shall terminate with respect to a Company (1) in the event of an Acquisition Transaction (as defined below) with respect to the other Company (the “Acquired Company”) or the commencement by a party other than the Company or its affiliates of a tender or exchange offer for an Acquisition Transaction with respect to the Acquired Company, and either (x) not rejected by the Acquired Company within ten (10) business days thereof or (y) accepted by the Acquired Company, or (2) if the Acquired Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Transaction. “Acquisition Transaction” means any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase (whether through the purchase of shares, merger, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of a Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or (ii) 50% or more of the voting securities of, or equity interests in, a Company or any of its subsidiaries by any person or group other than such Company or its affiliates. 9. Maintaining Privileges. If any Evaluation Material includes materials or information subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, each Company understands and agrees that the Companies have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is the desire, intention and mutual understanding of the Companies that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All Evaluation Material provided by a Company that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine. 10. Compliance with Securities Laws. Each Recipient agrees that it and its Representatives will not to use any Evaluation Material of the Provider in violation of applicable securities laws. 11. Not a Transaction Agreement. Each Company understands and agrees that no contract or agreement providing for a Possible Transaction exists between the Companies unless and until a final definitive agreement for a Possible Transaction has been executed and delivered, and each Company hereby waives, in advance, any claims (including, without limitation, breach of contract) relating to the existence of a Possible Transaction unless and until both Companies shall have entered into a final definitive agreement for a Possible Transaction. Each Company also agrees that, unless and until a final definitive agreement regarding a Possible Transaction has been executed and delivered, neither Company will be under any legal obligation of any kind whatsoever with respect to such Possible Transaction by virtue of this Agreement except for the matters specifically agreed to herein. Neither Company is under any obligation to accept any proposal regarding a Possible Transaction and either Company may terminate discussions and negotiations with the other Company at any time. Potential Buyer further agrees that (i) Convio shall be free to conduct any process for any Possible Transaction as Convio in its sole discretion shall determine (including, without limitation, negotiating with any other interested parties and entering into a definitive agreement therewith without prior notice to the Potential Buyer or any other Person), (ii) any procedures relating to such process or Possible Transaction may be changed at any time without notice to the Potential Buyer or any other Person, and (iii) unless a final definitive agreement relating to a Possible Transaction is entered into, the Potential Buyer shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, have any claims whatsoever against the other Company, the Representatives of the other Company or any of their respective directors, officers, stockholders, owners, affiliates or agents arising out of or relating to any Possible Transaction except with respect to explicit obligations hereunder. 12.

As to the information delivered to the Recipient, each Provider will only be liable for those representations or warranties which are made in a final definitive agreement regarding a Possible Transaction, when, as and if executed, and subject to such limitations and restrictions as may be specified therein. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as obligating a Company to provide, or to continue to provide, any information to any Person. 13. Modifications and Waiver. No provision of this Agreement can be waived or amended in favor of either Party except by written consent of the other Party, which consent shall specifically refer to such provision and explicitly make such waiver or amendment. No failure or delay by either Party in exercising any right, power or privilege hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or partial exercise thereof preclude any other or future exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege hereunder. 14. Remedies. Each Company understands and agrees that money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement by either Company or any of its Representatives and that the Company against which such breach is committed shall be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and specific performance, as a remedy for any such breach or threat thereof. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach by either Company of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity to the Company against which such breach is committed. 15. Legal Fees. In the event of litigation relating to this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that either Company or its Representatives has breached this Agreement, then the Company which is, or the Company whose Representatives are, determined to have so breached shall be liable and pay to the other Company the reasonable legal fees and costs incurred by the other Company in connection with such litigation, including any appeal therefrom. 16.

Each Company hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives any objection to the laying of venue of any action, suit or proceeding arising out of this Agreement or the Possible Transaction in any such court, and hereby further irrevocably and unconditionally waives and agrees not to plead or claim in any such court that any such action, suit or proceeding brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum. 17. Severability.

Text: Exhibit (d)(3) MUTUAL NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement (this “Agreement”) by and between Convio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Convio”), and Blackbaud, a Delaware corporation (“Potential Buyer” and Convio and Potential Buyer, each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), is dated as of the latest date set forth on the signature page hereto. 1. General. In connection with the consideration of a possible negotiated transaction (a “Possible Transaction”) between the Parties and/or their respective subsidiaries (each such Party being hereinafter referred to, collectively with its subsidiaries, as a “Company”), each Company (in its capacity as a provider of information hereunder, a “Provider”) is prepared to make available to the other Company (in its capacity as a recipient of information hereunder, a “Recipient”) certain “Evaluation Material” (as defined in Section 2 below) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and to take or abstain from taking certain other actions as hereinafter set forth. 2. Definitions. (a) The term “Evaluation Material” means information concerning the Provider which has been or is furnished to the Recipient or its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with the Recipient’s evaluation of a Possible Transaction, including its business, financial condition, operations, assets and liabilities, and includes all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared by the Recipient or its Representatives which contain or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished by the Provider hereunder. The term Evaluation Material does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Recipient or its Representatives in breach of this Agreement, (ii) was within the Recipient’s possession prior to its being furnished to the Recipient by or on behalf of the Provider, provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information, (iii) is or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Provider or its Representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information or (iv) is or has been independently developed by an employee, agent or contractor of the Recipient without use or reference to any information furnished by Provider or its Representatives. (b) The term “Representatives” shall include the directors, officers, employees, agents, partners or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) of the Recipient or Provider, as applicable. (c) The term “Person” includes the media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual or other entity. 3. Use of Evaluation Material. Each Recipient shall, and it shall cause its Representatives to, use the Evaluation Material solely for the purpose of evaluating a Possible Transaction, keep the Evaluation Material confidential, and, subject to Section 5, will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that any of such information may be disclosed to the Recipient’s Representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of helping the Recipient evaluate a Possible Transaction. Each Recipient agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of such Recipient’s Representatives. This Agreement does not grant a Recipient or any of its Representatives any license to use the Provider’s Evaluation Material except as provided herein. 4. Non-Disclosure of Discussions. Subject to Section 5, Potential Buyer agrees that, without the prior written consent of Convio, Potential Buyer will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies, (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction, or (iii) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto (including the status thereof). Potential Buyer acknowledges that Convio is free to disclose (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies or (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction; provided that Convio does not, and causes its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person the identity of Potential Buyer or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to a Possible Transaction except to the extent permitted by Section 5 or as otherwise believed reasonably required or necessary to comply with the fiduciary duties or other obligations applicable to Convio and its directors, officers and employees or with other applicable law. 5. Legally Required Disclosure. If a Recipient or its Representatives are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, other requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 above, such Recipient shall provide the Provider with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement together with copies of the material proposed to be disclosed so that the Provider may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Provider, a Recipient or any of its Representatives is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 or would otherwise be liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, such Recipient or its Representatives may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such requiring Person only that portion of such Evaluation Material or any such facts which the Recipient or its Representatives is legally required to disclose, provided that the Recipient and/or its Representatives cooperate with the Provider to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Evaluation Material or such facts by the Person receiving the material. 6. Return or Destruction of Evaluation Material. If either Company decides that it does not wish to proceed with a Possible Transaction, it will promptly inform the other Company of that decision.

Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Evaluation Material, the Recipient and its Representatives will continue to be bound by such Recipient’s obligations hereunder with respect to such Evaluation Material. 7. No Solicitation/Employment. Neither Recipient will, within twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly solicit the employment or consulting services of or employ or engage as a consultant any of the officers of Provider or any other employees or contractors of the Provider engaged in evaluating the Potential Transaction or information about whom has been provided to Recipient in connection with evaluating the Potential Transaction, so long as they are employed by the Provider and for six months after they cease to be employed by Provider. A Recipient is not prohibited from soliciting by means of a general advertisement not directed at (i) any particular individual or (ii) the employees of the Provider generally. 8. Standstill. Each Company agrees that, for a period of fourteen (14) months after the date of this Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), unless specifically invited in writing by the other Company, neither it nor any of its affiliates (as such term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) or Representatives (acting in any capacity other than as an advisor in any of the following cases) will in any manner, directly or indirectly: (a) effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in, or in any way assist any other Person to effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in: (i) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or assets of the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents to vote any voting securities of the other Company; (b) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the 1934 Act) with respect to the securities of the other Company; (c) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit an unsolicited proposal for or offer of (with or without condition), any extraordinary transaction involving the other Company or its securities or assets; (d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the other Company; (e) take any action which might force the other Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (a) above; or (f) enter into any discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing. Each Company also agrees during the Standstill Period not to request the other Company (or its directors, officers, employees or agents), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 8 (including this sentence). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 8 shall terminate with respect to a Company (1) in the event of an Acquisition Transaction (as defined below) with respect to the other Company (the “Acquired Company”) or the commencement by a party other than the Company or its affiliates of a tender or exchange offer for an Acquisition Transaction with respect to the Acquired Company, and either (x) not rejected by the Acquired Company within ten (10) business days thereof or (y) accepted by the Acquired Company, or (2) if the Acquired Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Transaction. “Acquisition Transaction” means any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase (whether through the purchase of shares, merger, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of a Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or (ii) 50% or more of the voting securities of, or equity interests in, a Company or any of its subsidiaries by any person or group other than such Company or its affiliates. 9. Maintaining Privileges. If any Evaluation Material includes materials or information subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, each Company understands and agrees that the Companies have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is the desire, intention and mutual understanding of the Companies that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All Evaluation Material provided by a Company that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine. 10. Compliance with Securities Laws. Each Recipient agrees that it and its Representatives will not to use any Evaluation Material of the Provider in violation of applicable securities laws. 11.

Each Company also agrees that, unless and until a final definitive agreement regarding a Possible Transaction has been executed and delivered, neither Company will be under any legal obligation of any kind whatsoever with respect to such Possible Transaction by virtue of this Agreement except for the matters specifically agreed to herein. Neither Company is under any obligation to accept any proposal regarding a Possible Transaction and either Company may terminate discussions and negotiations with the other Company at any time. Potential Buyer further agrees that (i) Convio shall be free to conduct any process for any Possible Transaction as Convio in its sole discretion shall determine (including, without limitation, negotiating with any other interested parties and entering into a definitive agreement therewith without prior notice to the Potential Buyer or any other Person), (ii) any procedures relating to such process or Possible Transaction may be changed at any time without notice to the Potential Buyer or any other Person, and (iii) unless a final definitive agreement relating to a Possible Transaction is entered into, the Potential Buyer shall not, by virtue of this Agreement, have any claims whatsoever against the other Company, the Representatives of the other Company or any of their respective directors, officers, stockholders, owners, affiliates or agents arising out of or relating to any Possible Transaction except with respect to explicit obligations hereunder. 12.

General. In connection with the consideration of a possible negotiated transaction (a “Possible Transaction”) between the Parties and/or their respective subsidiaries (each such Party being hereinafter referred to, collectively with its subsidiaries, as a “Company”), each Company (in its capacity as a provider of information hereunder, a “Provider”) is prepared to make available to the other Company (in its capacity as a recipient of information hereunder, a “Recipient”) certain “Evaluation Material” (as defined in Section 2 below) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and to take or abstain from taking certain other actions as hereinafter set forth. 2. Definitions. (a) The term “Evaluation Material” means information concerning the Provider which has been or is furnished to the Recipient or its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with the Recipient’s evaluation of a Possible Transaction, including its business, financial condition, operations, assets and liabilities, and includes all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared by the Recipient or its Representatives which contain or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished by the Provider hereunder. The term Evaluation Material does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Recipient or its Representatives in breach of this Agreement, (ii) was within the Recipient’s possession prior to its being furnished to the Recipient by or on behalf of the Provider, provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information, (iii) is or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Provider or its Representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information or (iv) is or has been independently developed by an employee, agent or contractor of the Recipient without use or reference to any information furnished by Provider or its Representatives. (b) The term “Representatives” shall include the directors, officers, employees, agents, partners or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) of the Recipient or Provider, as applicable. (c) The term “Person” includes the media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual or other entity. 3. Use of Evaluation Material. Each Recipient shall, and it shall cause its Representatives to, use the Evaluation Material solely for the purpose of evaluating a Possible Transaction, keep the Evaluation Material confidential, and, subject to Section 5, will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that any of such information may be disclosed to the Recipient’s Representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of helping the Recipient evaluate a Possible Transaction. Each Recipient agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of such Recipient’s Representatives. This Agreement does not grant a Recipient or any of its Representatives any license to use the Provider’s Evaluation Material except as provided herein. 4. Non-Disclosure of Discussions. Subject to Section 5, Potential Buyer agrees that, without the prior written consent of Convio, Potential Buyer will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies, (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction, or (iii) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto (including the status thereof).

Legally Required Disclosure. If a Recipient or its Representatives are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, other requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 above, such Recipient shall provide the Provider with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement together with copies of the material proposed to be disclosed so that the Provider may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement.

No Solicitation/Employment. Neither Recipient will, within twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly solicit the employment or consulting services of or employ or engage as a consultant any of the officers of Provider or any other employees or contractors of the Provider engaged in evaluating the Potential Transaction or information about whom has been provided to Recipient in connection with evaluating the Potential Transaction, so long as they are employed by the Provider and for six months after they cease to be employed by Provider. A Recipient is not prohibited from soliciting by means of a general advertisement not directed at (i) any particular individual or (ii) the employees of the Provider generally. 8. Standstill. Each Company agrees that, for a period of fourteen (14) months after the date of this Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), unless specifically invited in writing by the other Company, neither it nor any of its affiliates (as such term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) or Representatives (acting in any capacity other than as an advisor in any of the following cases) will in any manner, directly or indirectly: (a) effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in, or in any way assist any other Person to effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in: (i) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or assets of the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents to vote any voting securities of the other Company; (b) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the 1934 Act) with respect to the securities of the other Company; (c) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit an unsolicited proposal for or offer of (with or without condition), any extraordinary transaction involving the other Company or its securities or assets; (d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the other Company; (e) take any action which might force the other Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (a) above; or (f) enter into any discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing. Each Company also agrees during the Standstill Period not to request the other Company (or its directors, officers, employees or agents), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 8 (including this sentence). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 8 shall terminate with respect to a Company (1) in the event of an Acquisition Transaction (as defined below) with respect to the other Company (the “Acquired Company”) or the commencement by a party other than the Company or its affiliates of a tender or exchange offer for an Acquisition Transaction with respect to the Acquired Company, and either (x) not rejected by the Acquired Company within ten (10) business days thereof or (y) accepted by the Acquired Company, or (2) if the Acquired Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Transaction. “Acquisition Transaction” means any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase (whether through the purchase of shares, merger, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of a Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or (ii) 50% or more of the voting securities of, or equity interests in, a Company or any of its subsidiaries by any person or group other than such Company or its affiliates. 9. Maintaining Privileges. If any Evaluation Material includes materials or information subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, each Company understands and agrees that the Companies have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is the desire, intention and mutual understanding of the Companies that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All Evaluation Material provided by a Company that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine. 10. Compliance with Securities Laws. Each Recipient agrees that it and its Representatives will not to use any Evaluation Material of the Provider in violation of applicable securities laws. 11.

Each Company also agrees that, unless and until a final definitive agreement regarding a Possible Transaction has been executed and delivered, neither Company will be under any legal obligation of any kind whatsoever with respect to such Possible Transaction by virtue of this Agreement except for the matters specifically agreed to herein. Neither Company is under any obligation to accept any proposal regarding a Possible Transaction and either Company may terminate discussions and negotiations with the other Company at any time.

Text: Exhibit (d)(3) MUTUAL NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT This Mutual Nondisclosure Agreement (this “Agreement”) by and between Convio, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Convio”), and Blackbaud, a Delaware corporation (“Potential Buyer” and Convio and Potential Buyer, each a “Party” and collectively, the “Parties”), is dated as of the latest date set forth on the signature page hereto. 1. General. In connection with the consideration of a possible negotiated transaction (a “Possible Transaction”) between the Parties and/or their respective subsidiaries (each such Party being hereinafter referred to, collectively with its subsidiaries, as a “Company”), each Company (in its capacity as a provider of information hereunder, a “Provider”) is prepared to make available to the other Company (in its capacity as a recipient of information hereunder, a “Recipient”) certain “Evaluation Material” (as defined in Section 2 below) in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement, and to take or abstain from taking certain other actions as hereinafter set forth. 2. Definitions. (a) The term “Evaluation Material” means information concerning the Provider which has been or is furnished to the Recipient or its Representatives (as defined below) in connection with the Recipient’s evaluation of a Possible Transaction, including its business, financial condition, operations, assets and liabilities, and includes all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, interpretations or other documents prepared by the Recipient or its Representatives which contain or are based upon, in whole or in part, the information furnished by the Provider hereunder. The term Evaluation Material does not include information which (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Recipient or its Representatives in breach of this Agreement, (ii) was within the Recipient’s possession prior to its being furnished to the Recipient by or on behalf of the Provider, provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information, (iii) is or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Provider or its Representatives, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with, or other contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation of confidentiality to, the Provider with respect to such information or (iv) is or has been independently developed by an employee, agent or contractor of the Recipient without use or reference to any information furnished by Provider or its Representatives. (b) The term “Representatives” shall include the directors, officers, employees, agents, partners or advisors (including, without limitation, attorneys, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors) of the Recipient or Provider, as applicable. (c) The term “Person” includes the media and any corporation, partnership, group, individual or other entity. 3. Use of Evaluation Material. Each Recipient shall, and it shall cause its Representatives to, use the Evaluation Material solely for the purpose of evaluating a Possible Transaction, keep the Evaluation Material confidential, and, subject to Section 5, will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose any of the Evaluation Material in any manner whatsoever; provided, however, that any of such information may be disclosed to the Recipient’s Representatives who need to know such information for the sole purpose of helping the Recipient evaluate a Possible Transaction. Each Recipient agrees to be responsible for any breach of this Agreement by any of such Recipient’s Representatives. This Agreement does not grant a Recipient or any of its Representatives any license to use the Provider’s Evaluation Material except as provided herein. 4. Non-Disclosure of Discussions. Subject to Section 5, Potential Buyer agrees that, without the prior written consent of Convio, Potential Buyer will not, and will cause its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies, (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction, or (iii) any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect thereto (including the status thereof). Potential Buyer acknowledges that Convio is free to disclose (i) that Evaluation Material has been exchanged between the Companies or (ii) that discussions or negotiations are taking place between the Companies concerning a Possible Transaction; provided that Convio does not, and causes its Representatives not to, disclose to any other Person the identity of Potential Buyer or any of the terms, conditions or other facts with respect to a Possible Transaction except to the extent permitted by Section 5 or as otherwise believed reasonably required or necessary to comply with the fiduciary duties or other obligations applicable to Convio and its directors, officers and employees or with other applicable law. 5. Legally Required Disclosure. If a Recipient or its Representatives are requested or required (by oral questions, interrogatories, other requests for information or documents in legal proceedings, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar process) to disclose any of the Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 above, such Recipient shall provide the Provider with prompt written notice of any such request or requirement together with copies of the material proposed to be disclosed so that the Provider may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or other remedy or the receipt of a waiver by the Provider, a Recipient or any of its Representatives is nonetheless legally compelled to disclose Evaluation Material or any of the facts disclosure of which is prohibited under Section 4 or would otherwise be liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, such Recipient or its Representatives may, without liability hereunder, disclose to such requiring Person only that portion of such Evaluation Material or any such facts which the Recipient or its Representatives is legally required to disclose, provided that the Recipient and/or its Representatives cooperate with the Provider to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Evaluation Material or such facts by the Person receiving the material. 6. Return or Destruction of Evaluation Material. If either Company decides that it does not wish to proceed with a Possible Transaction, it will promptly inform the other Company of that decision. In that case, or at any time upon the request of a Provider for any reason, a Recipient will, and will cause its Representatives to, within five business days after receipt of such notice or request, destroy or return all Evaluation Material in any way relating to the Provider or its products, services, employees or other assets or liabilities, and no copy or extract thereof (including electronic copies) shall be retained. The Recipient shall provide to the Provider a certificate of compliance with the previous sentence signed by an executive officer of the Recipient. Notwithstanding the return or destruction of the Evaluation Material, the Recipient and its Representatives will continue to be bound by such Recipient’s obligations hereunder with respect to such Evaluation Material. 7. No Solicitation/Employment. Neither Recipient will, within twelve (12) months from the date of this Agreement, directly or indirectly solicit the employment or consulting services of or employ or engage as a consultant any of the officers of Provider or any other employees or contractors of the Provider engaged in evaluating the Potential Transaction or information about whom has been provided to Recipient in connection with evaluating the Potential Transaction, so long as they are employed by the Provider and for six months after they cease to be employed by Provider. A Recipient is not prohibited from soliciting by means of a general advertisement not directed at (i) any particular individual or (ii) the employees of the Provider generally. 8. Standstill. Each Company agrees that, for a period of fourteen (14) months after the date of this Agreement (the “Standstill Period”), unless specifically invited in writing by the other Company, neither it nor any of its affiliates (as such term is defined under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “1934 Act”)) or Representatives (acting in any capacity other than as an advisor in any of the following cases) will in any manner, directly or indirectly: (a) effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect, or cause or participate in, or in any way assist any other Person to effect, seek, offer or propose (whether publicly or otherwise) to effect or participate in: (i) any acquisition of any securities (or beneficial ownership thereof) or assets of the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (ii) any tender or exchange offer, merger or other business combination involving the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, (iii) any recapitalization, restructuring, liquidation, dissolution or other extraordinary transaction with respect to the other Company or any of its subsidiaries, or (iv) any “solicitation” of “proxies” (as such terms are used in the proxy rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission) or consents to vote any voting securities of the other Company; (b) form, join or in any way participate in a “group” (as defined under the 1934 Act) with respect to the securities of the other Company; (c) make any public announcement with respect to, or submit an unsolicited proposal for or offer of (with or without condition), any extraordinary transaction involving the other Company or its securities or assets; (d) otherwise act, alone or in concert with others, to seek to control or influence the management, Board of Directors or policies of the other Company; (e) take any action which might force the other Company to make a public announcement regarding any of the types of matters set forth in (a) above; or (f) enter into any discussions or arrangements with any third party with respect to any of the foregoing. Each Company also agrees during the Standstill Period not to request the other Company (or its directors, officers, employees or agents), directly or indirectly, to amend or waive any provision of this Section 8 (including this sentence). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions set forth in this paragraph 8 shall terminate with respect to a Company (1) in the event of an Acquisition Transaction (as defined below) with respect to the other Company (the “Acquired Company”) or the commencement by a party other than the Company or its affiliates of a tender or exchange offer for an Acquisition Transaction with respect to the Acquired Company, and either (x) not rejected by the Acquired Company within ten (10) business days thereof or (y) accepted by the Acquired Company, or (2) if the Acquired Company shall have entered into a definitive agreement providing for an Acquisition Transaction. “Acquisition Transaction” means any direct or indirect acquisition or purchase (whether through the purchase of shares, merger, consolidation or otherwise) of (i) all or substantially all of the assets of a Company and its subsidiaries on a consolidated basis or (ii) 50% or more of the voting securities of, or equity interests in, a Company or any of its subsidiaries by any person or group other than such Company or its affiliates. 9. Maintaining Privileges. If any Evaluation Material includes materials or information subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, each Company understands and agrees that the Companies have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is the desire, intention and mutual understanding of the Companies that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege. All Evaluation Material provided by a Company that is entitled to protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege shall remain entitled to such protection under these privileges, this Agreement, and under the joint defense doctrine. 10.

Each Company also agrees that, unless and until a final definitive agreement regarding a Possible Transaction has been executed and delivered, neither Company will be under any legal obligation of any kind whatsoever with respect to such Possible Transaction by virtue of this Agreement except for the matters specifically agreed to herein. Neither Company is under any obligation to accept any proposal regarding a Possible Transaction and either Company may terminate discussions and negotiations with the other Company at any time.
