          13.1         As used herein, “Confidential Information” shall mean any
information relating to the business of the disclosing party which the
disclosing party has marked as “confidential,” designated as confidential in
this Agreement or, in the case of oral information, has identified as
confidential in writing to the receiving party within thirty (30) days of
disclosure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, information which is orally or
visually disclosed to the receiving party by the disclosing party, or is
disclosed in writing without an appropriate letter, proprietary stamp or legend,
shall constitute Confidential Information if it would be apparent to a
reasonable person, familiar with the disclosing party’s business and the
industry in which it operates, that such information is of a confidential or
proprietary nature. The pricing and pricing terms in this Agreement and any
other agreement between Seller and Buyer shall be deemed “Confidential
Information.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13,
Confidential Information shall not include: information that is approved for
public release by the written authorization of the disclosing party; information
that was disclosed to the receiving party by a third party having the legal
right to make such disclosure, or which the receiving party can establish was in
its lawful possession prior to its receipt thereof from the disclosing party;
information that is in the public domain prior to the receiving party’s receipt
thereof from the disclosing party, or which subsequently becomes a part of the
public domain other than by the receiving party’s negligence or wrongful act;
such information required to be disclosed by law, governmental or regulatory
request or legal process; or information that the receiving party can establish
was independently developed without breach of this Agreement or use of
Confidential Information.
          13.2         Non-disclosure. Except to the extent permitted under this
Section 13, each party: (i) shall not disclose Confidential Information of the
other party to any third party without first obtaining the express written
permission of the disclosing party; (ii) shall use Confidential Information of
the other party only as is necessary to fulfill its obligations pursuant to this
Agreement; (iii) shall limit such disclosure to any of its officers, employees
or agents on a need-to-know basis for purposes of fulfilling its obligations

bound by this Agreement or confidentiality obligations substantially similar to
those set forth in this Agreement; and (iv) may disclose this agreement, any
amendments, and such Confidential Information to its outside attorneys and
independent accountants, on a need to know basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Confidential Information of the other party may be disclosed pursuant to a
subpoena or court order, provided that the receiving party gives prompt notice
to the disclosing party that it intends to make such disclosure so that the
other party can take any appropriate steps it deems necessary to limit the
extent of such disclosure or to seek protection of such disclosure.
          13.3         Nothing in this Section shall impair either party’s
compliance with any requirements of the Securities and Exchange Commission or
the national securities exchange or other stock market on which such Party’s
securities are traded. In connection with any filing by either Party of a copy
of this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the national
securities exchange or other stock market on which such Party’s securities are
traded), the filing party shall endeavor to obtain confidential treatment of
economic and trade secret information.
          13.4         Effect of Termination or Expiration. Upon termination or
expiration of this Agreement, each party shall return to the other party or
destroy any Confidential Information of the other party and provide a written
verification of such return or destruction. Each party’s obligation to maintain
the confidentiality of Confidential Information shall survive [**] following

of independent contracting parties. Under no circumstances will either party
hereto act or attempt to act, or represent itself, directly or indirectly, as an
agent of the other party hereto except as expressly permitted herein. All sales
and other agreements between Buyer and its customers are Buyer’s exclusive
responsibility and do not affect Buyer’s obligations under this Agreement. Buyer
shall assume sole responsibility for all claims, damages, obligations, injuries
and liabilities, including non-compliance with local regulatory requirements,
arising from its acts or omissions or the acts or omissions of its employees,
servants, agents clients, or representatives.
          (b)         This Agreement and the transactions provided for herein
are to be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
California without regard to laws dictating choice of law or resolving conflicts
of laws. The parties hereby agree that any action that arises from this
agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts within

via fax, containing terms inconsistent herewith shall be effective to amend or
modify this Agreement unless such document expressly states the intention to do

rights, duties or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the
other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed;

of Buyer, and no right, express or implied, is granted to Buyer hereunder to use
in any manner any name, trade name, trademark or service mark of Seller.
          (i)         If any court or other competent authority holds any
provision of this Agreement to be void or unenforceable in whole or part, this
Agreement shall continue to be valid as to the other provisions and the
remainder of the affected provision.
          (j)         This Agreement may be executed in two or more
