1.

Confidential Material

Each party agrees that all information relating to the other that is known to be confidential or proprietary, or which is clearly marked as such, and is furnished to it or to its officers, employees, or agents (collectively the "Receiving Party") by the other party (the "Disclosing Party"), whether written or delivered, visually or orally, will be deemed to be confidential information ("Confidential Material"). The term "Confidential Material" does not include information that (a) was previously in the possession of the Receiving Party and not the subject of another confidentiality agreement, (b) becomes generally available to the public as a result of a disclosure by a source other than the Receiving Party, or (c) becomes available to the Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party or its advisors, provided that the Receiving Party reasonably believes that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with respect to such information.

2.

Use and Treatment of Confidential Material

Each party hereby agrees that it will use any Confidential Material received by it solely for purposes of evaluating whether the parties should enter into a business arrangement and that such information will be kept confidential by the Receiving Party. Notwithstanding the

foregoing, the Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Material (a) to any representative and agent of the Receiving Party (collectively the "Receiving Party's Representatives") for the sole purpose of evaluating the potential business arrangement, and provided that the representative or agent agrees to be bound to this Agreement, or (b) to the extent required to comply with any law, any order, or the rules or regulations of any governmental agency or authority, or any judicial authority; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party of the Receiving Party's intent to disclose such information so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order to prevent the disclosure of such information. The Receiving Party shall be responsible for enforcing the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, and will take reasonable security precautions, at least as great as the precautions it takes to protect its own confidential information, to keep confidential the Confidential Material, and shall take such actions, legal or otherwise, as may be necessary to prevent disclosure of the Confidential Information by any of the Receiving Party's Representatives.

3.

Return of Confidential Information

Remedies

In the event that the Receiving Party or any of the Receiving Party's representatives disseminates or releases any Confidential Material except as provided above, such disclosure, dissemination or release will be deemed a material breach of this Agreement and the Disclosing Party may demand prompt return of all Confidential Material previously provided to Receiving Party. Each of the parties agrees that because of the unique nature of the Confidential Material, the Disclosing Party would suffer irreparable damage in the event of a breach of this Agreement. Accordingly, each party expressly agrees that the Disclosing Party will be entitled to injunctive and/or other equitable relief, including, but not limited to, specific performance, and hereby waives the right to any bond in connection therewith.
