Deed of Assignment pursuant to a Private-Public

transmitted to the Person by the Recipient, or (iv) is independently developed by the Recipient or its Representatives without
the use of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party. Confidential Information is not

Party, the Recipient shall (i) hold in confidence and not reproduce, distribute or disclose to any third-party other than its
Representatives any Confidential Information; (ii) protect such Confidential Information with at least the same degree of

(iii) use the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for no purpose other than pursuing the “Specified
Purpose”; (iv) limit access to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to its Representatives having
a need to know such Confidential Information, who are informed of its confidential nature, and are bound by confidentiality
obligations; and (v) promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon discovery of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of the
Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.


 


"Specified Purpose" means the sole purpose for which Confidential Information is to be disclosed by a party to the other party, which is

not to harm the other party and refrain from disclosing any documents, information, ideas, practices, know-how, data or design
as may be aware in the course of this agreement. Both parties agree that they must not, without the prior written approval of the
Disclosing Party, use, disclose, divulge or deal with any Confidential Information, nor cause, permit or allow any act, matter
or thing to be done, omitted or occur whereby any Confidential Information may become known or be used by, or be disclosed or communicated
to, any other person, except strictly in accordance to these provisions of “Specified Purpose”.


 


For the purposes of this clause, the Disclosing
Party and Recipient shall assume full responsibility for its Affiliates and/or Representatives, as if it were like itself.


 


“Disclosures Required by Law”: If the Recipient or any of its Representatives is requested or required in connection with any legal or governmental
proceeding to disclose or otherwise becomes legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, the Recipient shall provide
the Disclosing Party with prompt written notice, if permitted by law, so as to enable the Disclosing Party, sufficiently in advance
of the disclosure with reasonable opportunity to prevent the disclosure or to seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy
or waive compliance with this Agreement and provided further that in the event that such protective order or other remedy is not
obtained, Recipient shall (i) make any required disclosures in consultation with the Disclosing Party; (ii) furnish only that portion
of the Confidential Information which Recipient is advised by written opinion of counsel is legally required; and (iii) exercise
Recipient’s best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be accorded such Confidential Information.


 


“Remedies”: The
Recipient acknowledges that its breach of this Agreement may cause irreparable damage to the Disclosing Party for
which monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy by itself. The rights and remedies provided to each Party in this Agreement
are cumulative and in addition to any other rights and remedies available to such Party at law or in equity.
