1. “Confidential Information” shall mean the SPMT Abridged Specification.

2. The party receiving Confidential Information under this NDA (“Recipient”) shall use the Confidential Information only for the following purpose (“Business Purpose”): SOLELY TO EVALUATE THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION TO DETERMINE WHETHER TO BECOME AN ADOPTER OF SPMT CONSORTIUM.

3. Recipient shall not disclose Confidential Information received from the Discloser under this NDA to any third party. The Recipient shall use the same degree of care in maintaining the confidentiality of the Confidential Information as it uses with respect to its own information that is regarded confidential and/or proprietary by such party, but in any case shall at least use reasonable care.  Recipient agrees that it will restrict access to all Confidential Information received from the Discloser to only those of its employees, consultants and contractors within the receiving parties organization and legal, financial and/or other advisors, who need to be informed of the Confidential Information to carry out the Business Purpose for which the Confidential Information is disclosed, provided that, such persons will be bound to the Recipient by a written confidentiality agreement that contains substantially the same obligations as contained in this NDA. Recipient shall not use Discloser’s Confidential Information, in whole or part, in any manner that is competitive with the Discloser.

4. Except as expressly set forth in this NDA, no right, license or authorization, express or implied, is granted hereunder with respect to the Confidential Information disclosed under this NDA.  In addition, the Confidential Information is provided “as is” and neither party makes any representation or gives any warranty with respect to the Confidential Information that it discloses hereunder.  The Discloser (or its licensors) shall retain all right, title, and interest in the Confidential Information that it discloses hereunder. The Recipient acknowledges that, all Confidential Information is owned solely by the Discloser (or its licensors) and there is no grant of any intellectual property rights in the Confidential Information, which is disclosed.  Furthermore, this NDA imposes no obligation on either party to disclose Confidential Information or to purchase, sell, license, transfer or otherwise make use of any technology, services or products.

5. Recipient shall not be liable for any disclosure of Confidential Information that it receives hereunder where: (i) the same information was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or later comes within the public domain, except through the acts or omissions of the Recipient; (ii) the same information was rightfully known to the Recipient prior to or at the time of its disclosure; (iii) the same information is approved for release by written authorization of the Discloser; (iv) the same information becomes known to the Recipient from a source other than the Discloser without breach of an obligation of confidentiality; and/or (v) the same information is independently developed by employees or representatives of the Recipient without access to the Confidential Information. A party may disclose Confidential Information pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, provided, however, reasonable notice is given to the Discloser prior to disclosure under such order or requirement in order to allow the Discloser to take steps to protect the confidentiality of such information.

6. The Recipient shall not reproduce or copy the Confidential Information except as reasonably required to accomplish the Business Purpose.  Upon the earlier of the termination of this NDA or written request by the Discloser, the Recipient shall cease using all Confidential Information of the Discloser, all items containing such Confidential Information shall be returned to the Discloser, and all such Confidential Information shall be deleted from the Recipient’s computer systems.  Upon written request by the Discloser, Recipient shall provide a certification signed by an officer or duly authorized representative of the Recipient stating that all such Confidential Information has been returned to the Discloser and that all such Confidential Information has been deleted from the Recipient’s computer systems.
