the time of disclosure and is also summarized and designated as confidential in a written
memorandum delivered to Recipient within thirty (30) days of the disclosure.

2. Recipient shall use the Confidential Information only for the purpose of evaluating potential
business and investment relationships with Discloser.

3. Recipient shall limit disclosure of Confidential Information within its own organization to its
directors, officers, partners, members and/or employees having a need to know and shall not
disclose Confidential Information to any third party (whether an individual, corporation, or other
entity) without the prior written consent of Discloser. Recipient shall have satisfied its obligations
under this paragraph if it takes affirmative measures to ensure compliance with these
confidentiality obligations by its employees, agents, consultants and others who are permitted
access to or use of the Confidential Information.

4. This Agreement imposes no obligation upon Recipient with respect to any Confidential

limited right to use Confidential Information specified in paragraph 2. Furthermore and
specifically, no license or conveyance of any intellectual property rights is granted or implied by
this Agreement.

7. Neither party has an obligation under this Agreement to purchase any service, goods, or

offer such products and/or services for sale and modify them or discontinue sale at any time.
Furthermore, both parties acknowledge and agree that the exchange of information under this
Agreement shall not commit or bind either party to any present or future contractual relationship
(except as specifically stated herein), nor shall the exchange of information be construed as an
inducement to act or not to act in any given manner.

8. Neither party shall be liable to the other in any manner whatsoever for any decisions, obligations,
costs or expenses incurred, changes in business practices, plans, organization, products, services,
or otherwise, based on either party’s decision to use or rely on any information exchanged under

understood that Discloser shall have no adequate remedy in money or other damages and accordingly
shall be entitled to injunctive relief; provided however, no specification in this Agreement of any
particular remedy shall be construed as a waiver or prohibition of any other remedies in the event of a
breach or threatened breach of this Agreement.

10. This Agreement states the entire agreement between the parties concerning the disclosure of
Confidential Information and supersedes any prior agreements, understandings, or representations
with respect thereto. Any addition or modification to this Agreement must be made in writing and
signed by authorized representatives of both parties. This Agreement is made under and shall be
construed according to the laws of the State of California, U.S.A. In the event that this agreement,
is breached, any and all disputes must be settled in a court of competent jurisdiction in the State of
California.

11. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are found to be unenforceable, the remainder shall be
enforced as fully as possible and the unenforceable provision(s) shall be deemed modified to the
limited extent required to permit enforcement of the Agreement as a whole.

WHEREFORE, the parties acknowledge that they have read and understand this Agreement and
voluntarily accept the duties and obligations set forth herein.
