4. Confidentiality.

(a) Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" means any information previously or hereafter disclosed by or on behalf of one party (the "Disclosing Party") to the other party (the "Receiving Party"), either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible objects, including, without limitation, business plans, customer data, customer lists, customer names, designs, documents, drawings, engineering information, financial analysis, hardware configuration information, the Disclosing Party's Intellectual Property, inventions, market information, marketing plans, processes, products, product plans, research, services, specifications, software, source code, trade secrets or any other information that the Disclosing Party identifies as "confidential," "proprietary" or some similar designation or that reasonably appears to be confidential or proprietary because of legends or other markings, the circumstances of disclosure, or the nature of the information itself. Confidential Information also includes information disclosed to the Disclosing Party by third parties and all notes, reports, analyses, compilations, studies and other materials prepared by the Receiving Party or its representatives (in whatever form maintained, whether documentary, electronic or otherwise) containing, reflecting or based upon, in whole or in part, any such information or reflecting or based upon, in whole or in part, any such information or reflecting such party's review or view of the Disclosing Party or the Confidential Information. Without limiting the foregoing, the Software is Confidential Information of Chooch.

(b) Exclusions. Confidential Information shall not, however, include any information which (i) is now, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act on the part of the Receiving Party, generally known and made generally available in the public domain, (ii) or becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party, which source is not known by the Receiving Party after reasonable investigation to be subject to a contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation prohibiting such disclosure, in each case as evidenced by the written records of the Receiving Party, or (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of or reference to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as shown by documents and other competent evidence in the Receiving Party's possession.

(c) Restrictions. The Receiving Party agrees that it shall use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information solely for the purpose of evaluating the Software and shall maintain the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in any event shall use at least commercially reasonable measures to protect the confidentiality of and avoid disclosure of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will keep the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information confidential and will not disclose any of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to employees or to third parties; provided, however, that the Receiving Party may disclose such Confidential Information to its directors, officers, or employees who need to know such Confidential Information for the purpose of evaluating the Software and have agreed to abide by or are otherwise subject to non-disclosure terms at least as protective of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as those set forth herein. The Receiving Party also agrees to only make such copies of Confidential Information as are necessary to evaluate the Software. The Receiving Party will reproduce the Disclosing Party’s proprietary rights and confidentiality notices on any such authorized copies in the same manner in which such notices were set forth in or on the original. The Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party in the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information.

(d) Disclosures Required by Applicable Law or Court Order. In the event the Receiving Party is required by Applicable Law or a valid and effective subpoena or order issued by either a court of competent jurisdiction or a governmental body to disclose any of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party in writing of the existence, terms, and circumstances surrounding such required disclosure so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order, or have the Receiving Party seek such protective order on its behalf, or other appropriate relief from the proper authority. The Receiving Party will cooperate with the Disclosing Party in seeking such order or other relief. If the Receiving Party is nonetheless required to disclose the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, it will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that such Confidential Information will be treated confidentially to the extent possible.

(e) Return of Confidential Information. All documents and other tangible objects containing or representing Confidential Information which have been disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party and all copies thereof shall be and remain the property of the Disclosing Party and shall be promptly returned to the Disclosing Party (or, in the cases of notes or abstracts, destroyed or permanently deleted) upon the earlier of (i) the Disclosing Party's written request and (ii) termination or expiration of this Agreement; provided, however, that nothing contained herein shall require the destruction, deletion or modification of any backup electronic media made pursuant to archival processes in the ordinary course of business; provided, further, that such backup tapes or other archived media shall only be accessible by information technology personnel and shall not be accessed or used for any purpose by either party other than as permitted hereunder.

In the event Chooch seeks indemnification or defense from Licensee under this provision, Chooch shall promptly notify Licensee in writing of the claim(s) brought against Chooch for which Chooch seeks indemnification or defense; provided, that failure to promptly notify Licensee of such claim(s) will not reduce or relieve Licensee's indemnification obligations under this Section 9 except to the extent Licensee can demonstrate that such failure materially prejudiced the defense and/or settlement of such claim(s). Chooch reserves the right, at its option and in its sole discretion, to assume full control of the defense of any claim(s) with legal counsel of Chooch’s choice.
