CONFIDENTIALITY
(i) The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to such of the Receiving Party’s directors, officers and responsible employees and to such of its outside financial, legal and tax advisors and consultants of the Receiving Party or any of its Affiliates (each a “Representative”) as have reasonable need for such information in connection with this Agreement, provided that each Representative to whom Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party is disclosed (i) has been informed of the confidentiality of the such information and (ii) is obligated by reason of a written agreement, conditions of employment, professional ethics or operation of law to maintain and hold in confidence Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the same extent required of the Receiving Party under this Agreement. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for, and shall indemnify the Disclosing Party against losses sustained by the Disclosing Party as a result of, any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information by its Representatives or any of them contrary to the terms of this Agreement.
a.) As used in this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means, with respect to information disclosed by one party (hereafter, the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (hereafter, the “Receiving Party”), any and all information of every kind and description relating to or concerning the Disclosing Party or its Affiliates marked “confidential” or “proprietary” or that a reasonable businessperson would understand to be of a confidential or proprietary nature under circumstances of disclosure or to give the Disclosing Party a competitive business advantage by reason of such information not being generally known, including but not limited to technical information; market, product and service offerings; data, code, know how, and trade secrets; and financial information, marketing plans, business opportunities, and actual or prospective and other third-party business relationships. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information relating to or concerning a Disclosing Party shall not be deemed Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement if (i) such information becomes publicly known after disclosure to the Receiving Party through no act or neglect of the Receiving Party in violation of this Agreement, (ii) such information that was already known or subsequently becomes available to the Receiving Party or its Representatives as a result of disclosure by a third party not under duty of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party, or (iii) such information was independently developed by the Receiving Party or its Representatives without reliance on or use of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
b.) The Receiving Party shall hold in strict confidence and shall not disclose or communicate to any other person Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party furnished or made available to the Receiving Party, whether before or after the Effective Date. The Receiving Party shall use Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party solely for the purpose of evaluating a possible Transaction and for no other purpose. The Receiving Party shall protect Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party from unauthorized disclosure contrary to this section using the same degree of care the Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information but no less than a reasonable degree of care.
c.) Notwithstanding the foregoing:
(ii) Goldfinger may collect and track technical and related information about Licensee and its use of the Software (including but not limited to Licensee’s internet protocol address, hardware identifying information, operating system, application software, peripheral hardware, and Software usage statistics) in order to assist Goldfinger with maintaining and improving the Software, issuing Updates and related support, marketing, and research and development.
d.) At the written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will promptly return to the Disclosing Party or delete or destroy, as the Disclosing Party may direct and as the context may require, all printed materials and digital files containing Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party then in the possession or control of the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives, including but not limited to information stored on hard drives, in computer memory, on remote servers, and any other data storage apparatus or depository. With respect to digital files and other information stored electronically, it is understood that deletion of such files from e-mail inboxes and working hard drives and servers shall suffice for destruction in accordance with this section, there being no need to erase system back-up files.
e.) The Receiving Party acknowledges that Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party is unique and valuable to the Disclosing Party and that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of such information contrary to this agreement. Accordingly, in addition to and without limiting any other remedy available at law or in equity, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive and equitable relief as a remedy for any breach or threatened breach of this section by the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives.
f.) In the event the Receiving Party or any of its Representatives is required by law, regulation or court order to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party will, to the extent permitted by law and reasonably practicable, promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing prior to such disclosure in order to give the Disclosing Party an opportunity to petition the court or other authority for a protective order or similar remedy. The Receiving Party agrees to reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, in connection with any such petition.
g.) The Disclosing Party’s failure to exercise or delay in exercising any right, power or privilege of the Disclosing Party under this agreement shall not operate as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege of the Disclosing Party under this agreement preclude any other or further exercise thereof by the Disclosing Party or the Disclosing Party’s exercise of any other right, power or privilege. No provision or breach of this agreement shall be deemed waived by the Disclosing Party unless the Disclosing Party acknowledges and consents to such waiver in writing.
h.) The provisions of this section and the parties’ respective obligations hereunder shall survive the expiration of the Term indefinitely.INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
Licensee shall notify Goldfinger in writing promptly upon learning of any claim, action or demand indemnifiable and for which Licensee seeks indemnification under the provisions of this section (any “Claim”), but Licensee’s failure to give or delay in giving notice of a Claim shall not affect or diminish Goldfinger’s obligations under this section unless and to the extent Goldfinger’s defense of the Claim is materially prejudiced by such failure or delay.

Licensee shall not admit any liability whatsoever with respect to the Claim, whether to the claimant or to any other person.
Goldfinger shall have sole control over the investigation and defense of the Claim using counsel of its choosing and sole authority to authorize any settlement thereof. Licensee shall promptly and fully cooperate with Goldfinger in such defense, including by making available such books and records and such resources and time of knowledgeable representatives of Licensee as Goldfinger or its counsel may reasonably request.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, (A) Licensee at its expense may participate in the defense of the Claim with counsel of Licensee’s choosing, provided such participation does not conflict or interfere with Goldfinger’s defense of the Claim; and (B) no settlement of a Claim requiring or conditioned upon an admission of guilt or liability by Licensee may entered into without Licensee’s joinder or written consent.c.) If the Software becomes or in the opinion of Goldfinger may become the subject of a claim of infringement subject to indemnification under this section, then in lieu of settling the claim Goldfinger may in its sole discretion (i) procure for Licensee the right to use the Software free of any liability; (ii) replace or modify the Software to make it non-infringing; or (iii) cancel this Agreement and refund any prepaid License Fees allocable to the remaining balance of the Term.
d.) The foregoing provisions state the entire liability of Goldfinger and the exclusive remedies of Licensee in connection with any third-party claim or potential claim of infringement related to the Software or Licensee’s use thereof.
d.) Any provision of this section to the contrary notwithstanding, Goldfinger assumes no liability hereunder for and shall have no obligation to defend or indemnify Licensee in connection with any claim of infringement based upon Licensee’s use of the Software in combination with any third-party program or application not approved by Goldfinger for such use.PUBLICITY
