appropriate written agreements with Recipient sufficient to enable Recipient to enforce all the
provisions of this Agreement. Recipient shall not make any copies of Disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information except as needed for the Business Purpose. At the request of Disclosing
Party, Recipient shall return to Disclosing Party all Confidential Information of Disclosing Party
(including any copies thereof) or certify the destruction thereof.
3. All right title and interest in and to the Confidential Information shall remain with Disclosing
Party or its licensors. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to grant any rights to Recipient under
any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets of Disclosing Party. ALL CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION IS PROVIDED "AS IS". THE DISCLOSING PARTY MAKES NO
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING
NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS OR ITS ACCURACY,
COMPLETENESS OR PERFORMANCE.
4. The obligations and limitations set forth herein regarding Confidential Information shall not
apply to information which is: (a) at any time in the public domain, other than by a breach on the
part of the Recipient; or (b) at any time rightfully received from a third party which had the right
to and transmits it to the Recipient without any obligation of confidentiality.
