and their respective Controlled Related Parties (each a "Restricted Party")
shall cause their respective officers and directors (in their capacity as such)
to, and shall take all reasonable measures to cause their respective employees,
attorneys, accountants, consultants and other agents and advisors (collectively,
and together with their respective officers and directors, "Agents") to, keep
secret and maintain in confidence the terms of this agreement and all
confidential and proprietary information and data of the other party or its
Related Parties disclosed to it (in each case, a "Receiving Party") in
connection with the performance of its obligations under this agreement (the
"Confidential Information") and shall not, and shall cause their respective
officers and directors not to, and shall take all reasonable measures to cause
their respective other Agents not to, disclose Confidential Information to any
Person other than the parties, their Controlled Related Parties and their
respective Agents that need to know such Confidential Information. Each party
further agrees that it shall not use the Confidential Information for any
purpose other than determining and performing its obligations and exercising its
rights under this agreement. Each party shall take all reasonable measures
necessary to prevent any unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information
by any of their respective Controlled Related Parties or any of their respective
Agents. The measures taken by a Restricted Party to protect Confidential
Information shall be not deemed unreasonable if the measures taken are at least
as strong as the measures taken by the disclosing party to protect such
Confidential Information.

     Section 3.2. Permitted Disclosures. Nothing herein shall prevent any
Restricted Party or its Agents from using, disclosing, or authorizing the
disclosure of Confidential Information it receives and which:

     (i)  has been published or is in the public domain, or which subsequently
          comes into the public domain, through no fault of the receiving party;
<PAGE>

     (ii) prior to receipt hereunder was property within the legitimate
          possession of the Receiving Party or, subsequent to receipt hereunder
          is lawfully received from a third party having rights therein without
          restriction of the third party's right to disseminate the Confidential
          Information and without notice of any restriction against its further
          disclosure.

    (iii) is independently developed by the Receiving Party through Persons who
          have not had, either directly or indirectly, access to or knowledge of
          such Confidential Information;

     (iv) is disclosed to a third party with the written approval of the party
          originally disclosing such information, provided that such
          Confidential Information shall cease to be confidential and
          proprietary information covered by this agreement only to the extent
          of the disclosure so consented to;

     (v)  subject to the Receiving Party's compliance with Section 3.4 below, is
          required to be produced under order of a court of competent
          jurisdiction or other similar requirements of a governmental agency,
          provided that such Confidential Information to the extent covered by a
          protective order or its equivalent shall otherwise continue to be
          Confidential Information required to be held confidential for purpose
          of this agreement; or

     (vi) subject to the Receiving Party's compliance with Section 3.4 below, is
          required to be disclosed by applicable Law or a stock exchange or
          association on which such Receiving Party's securities (or those of
          its Related Party) are listed.

     Section 3.3. Financial Institutions. Notwithstanding this Article 3, any
party may provide Confidential Information to any financial institution in
connection with borrowings from such financial institution by such party or any
of its Controlled Related Parties, so long as prior to any such disclosure such
financial institution executes a confidentiality agreement that provides
protection substantially equivalent to the protection provided the parties in
this Article 3.

     Section 3.4. Procedures. In the event that any Receiving Party (i) must
disclose Confidential Information in order to comply with applicable Law or the
requirements of a stock exchange or association on which such Receiving Party's
securities or those of its Related Parties are listed or (ii) becomes legally
compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or
documents, subpoenas, civil investigative demand or otherwise) to disclose any
Confidential Information, the Receiving Party shall provide the disclosing party
with prompt written notice so that in the case of clause (i), the disclosing
party can work with the Receiving Party to limit the disclosure to the greatest
extent possible consistent with legal obligations or in the case of clause (ii),
the disclosing party may seek a protective order or other appropriate
<PAGE>

remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this agreement. In the case of
a clause (ii), (A) if the disclosing party is unable to obtain a protective
order or other appropriate remedy, or if the disclosing party so directs, the
Receiving Party shall, and shall cause its employees to, exercise all
commercially reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or other
appropriate remedy at the disclosing party's reasonable expense, and (B) failing
the entry of a protective order or other appropriate remedy or receipt of a
waiver hereunder, the Receiving Party shall furnish only that portion of the
Confidential Information which it is advised by opinion of its counsel is
legally required to be furnished and shall exercise all commercially reasonable
efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment shall be
accorded such Confidential Information, it being understood that such reasonable
efforts shall be at the cost and expense of the disclosing party whose
Confidential Information has been sought.

     Section 3.5. Survival. The obligations under this Article 3 shall survive,
as to any party, until two (2) years following the date of termination of this
agreement, and, as to any Controlled Related Party of a party, until two (2)
years following the earlier to occur of (A) the date that such Person is no
longer a Controlled Related Party of a party, or (B) the date of the termination
of this agreement; provided that such obligations shall continue indefinitely
with respect to any trade secret or similar information which is proprietary to
a party or its Controlled Related Parties and provides such party or its
Controlled Related Parties with an advantage over its competitors.

Marks will inure solely to the benefit of the Licensor.

          licensed or qualified to do business and, if applicable, is in good
          standing in each of the jurisdictions in which the failure to be so

          imposed by bankruptcy, insolvency or similar laws affecting creditors'
          rights generally and the availability of equitable remedies.

     (b)  No Conflict with Restrictions; No Default. Neither the execution,
          delivery and performance of this agreement nor the consummation by
          such party of the transactions contemplated hereby (i) will conflict
          with, violate or result in a breach of any of the terms, conditions or
          provisions of any law, regulation, order, writ, injunction, decree,
          determination or award of any court, any governmental department,
          board, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or any
          arbitrator, applicable to such party or any of its Controlled Related
          Parties, (ii) will conflict with, violate, result in a breach of or
          constitute a default under any of the terms, conditions or provisions
          of the articles of incorporation, articles of organization or
          certificate of formation, bylaws, operating agreement or limited
          liability company agreement, or partnership agreement of such party or
          any of its Controlled Related Parties or of any material agreement or
          instrument to which such party or any of its Controlled Related
          Parties is a party or by which such party or any of its Controlled

          both), accelerate or permit the acceleration of the performance
          required by, give to others any material interests or rights or
          require any consent, authorization or approval under any indenture,
          mortgage, lease agreement or instrument to which such party or any of
          its Controlled Related Parties is a party or by which such party or
          any of its Controlled Related Parties is or may be bound, or (iv) will
          result in the creation or imposition of any lien upon any of the
          material properties or assets of such party or any of its Controlled
          Related Parties, which in any such case could reasonably be expected
          to materially impair such party's ability to perform its obligations
          under this
<PAGE>

          agreement or to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
          financial condition of each parts or its Parent.

     (c)  Governmental Authorizations. Any registration, declaration or filing
          with, or consent, approval, license, permit or other authorization or

          of their properties, assets or businesses in any court or before or by
          any governmental department, board, agency or instrumentality,
          domestic or foreign, or any arbitrator which could, if adversely
          determined (or, in the case of an investigation could lead to any
          action, suit or proceeding, which if adversely determined could),
          reasonably be expected to materially impair such party's ability to
          perform its obligations under this agreement or to have a material
          adverse effect on the consolidated financial condition of such party
          or its parent; and such party or any of its Controlled Related Parties
          has not received any currently effective notice of any default, and
          such party or any of its Controlled Related Parties is not in default,
          under any applicable order, writ, injunction, decree, permit,
          determination or award of any court, any governmental department,
          board, agency or instrumentality, domestic or foreign, or any
          arbitrator, which default could reasonably be expected to materially
          impair such party's ability to perform its obligations under this
          agreement or to have a material adverse effect on the consolidated
          financial condition of such party or its Parent.
