Licensee acknowledges that the Software, Documentation and any ideas, concepts, methods, know-how, structures, techniques, inventions, developments, discoveries and other non-public information embodied therein or disclosed to Licensee in connection with the Software and Documentation constitute valuable confidential and proprietary information and trade secrets of Licensor (the “Proprietary Information”). Proprietary Information does not include information that Licensee can document to Licensor’s sole satisfaction: (i) was generally known to the public at the time disclosed by Licensor; (ii) became generally known to the public other than through a breach of this Agreement by Licensee after the time of disclosure to Licensee by, or on behalf of, Licensor; (iii) was in Licensee’s possession, free of any obligation of confidentiality at the time of disclosure to Licensee by, or on behalf of, Licensor; (iv) was rightfully received by Licensee from a third party, free of any obligation of confidentiality after disclosure by, or on behalf of, Licensor to Licensee; or (v) was independently developed by Licensee without reference to, or use of, Proprietary Information disclosed by, or on behalf of, Licensor or by otherwise breaching any provision of this Agreement.

Licensee agrees that it shall use Proprietary Information solely as necessary in connection with Licensee’s permitted internal use of the Software, and for no other purpose, and otherwise in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Without in any way limiting the foregoing or any other provisions in this Agreement that may limit Licensee’s use of the Proprietary Information of Licensor, Licensee agrees (i) it will not disclose, give access to, or otherwise distribute any of Licensor’s Proprietary Information to any third party, including, but not limited to, any of Licensee’s affiliates; (ii) it will not copy or otherwise reproduce any of Licensor’s Proprietary Information; and (iii) will take the greater of: (1) commercially reasonable security precautions or (2) precautions that are at least as protective as the precautions it takes to preserve its own confidential and proprietary information of a similar nature, to keep Licensor’s Proprietary Information confidential.
6.4. Licensee agrees to (i) mark all of Licensor’s Proprietary Information it receives as “Proprietary and Confidential Information” and (ii) segregate such Proprietary Information from the confidential information and materials of others (including Licensee’s own confidential information) to prevent commingling. Licensee will restrict the possession, knowledge and use of any Proprietary Information of Licensor’s to only those Authorized users who have a need to know the specific Proprietary Information in connection with their operation of the Software.

6.6. Licensee will notify Licensor immediately upon (i) discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of any Proprietary Information; or (ii) any breach of this Agreement by Licensee, and Licensee will cooperate with Licensor in every reasonable way, at Licensee’s expense to help Licensor regain possession of the Proprietary Information and prevent further unauthorized use or disclosure. In the event of actual or threatened breach of this Section 6, the parties acknowledge and agree that Licensor may have no adequate remedy at law and will be entitled to seek immediate injunctive and other equitable relief. For sake of clarity, and not by way of limitation, the provisions of this Section 6 shall survive the cancellation, termination, and expiration of this Agreement.
6.7. Licensor shall not disclose, suggest or otherwise indicate that Licensee has entered into this Agreement, including the Licensor’s cost, that any copy of the Software and Documentation has been provided to Licensee, that Licensee has made previous, current or future use of any copy of the Software and Documentation, or that Licensee has considered such use, without express written permission from Licensee.

13. NOTIFICATION REGARDING U.S. GOVERNMENT RIGHTS.
13.1. The Software and Documentation is a “commercial item” as defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of “commercial computer software” and “commercial computer software documentation.” Except for United States Government purchases or acquisitions under the authority of FAR Part 12 under FAR 12.212, any Use, duplication, or disclosure by the US Government of the Software or Documentation is subject to the restrictions and protections under DFAR 252.227-7015, Technical Data-Commercial Items (Nov. 1995), and is subject to the restrictions and protections set forth in this Agreement as prescribed in DFAR 227.7202[-4] (June 1995), [FAR 27.405, Other Data Provisions (August 1998)] or, as applicable, FAR 52.227-19, Commercial Computer Software-Restricted Rights (June 1987).
14.1. Upon a party’s receipt of written notice from the other party, the parties will first attempt to resolve any dispute or actions for breach under this Agreement through good faith negotiations for a time period of no less than five (5) business days, but no more than ten (10) business days, unless mutually agreed to by the parties in writing (hereinafter, the “Initial Negotiations”). If the parties fail to resolve any dispute or action for breach through such Initial Negotiations as set out in the above provision, the parties agree to resolve such disputes or actions by binding and final arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association then in effect. The arbitration shall take place in the County of San Diego, State of California, USA.
14.2. After the expiration of the Initial Negotiations, either party may initiate arbitration at any time thereafter related to a dispute between the parties by providing a notice of arbitration (“Arbitration Notice”) to the other party. The Arbitration Notice must contain a short and plain statement of any dispute sufficient to inform the other party of: (i) the nature of the dispute, (ii) the initiating party’s position, and (iii) the relief that party is seeking. The other party must within ten (10) days after receipt of the Arbitration Notice provide an answer thereto including that party’s statement of the nature of the dispute, any counterclaims, and any relief requested. The initiating party will then have five (5) days to deliver a reply to any counterclaim provided in the answer.
14.3. The parties may conduct discovery as provided under the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association to the extent permitted by the arbitrator. In determining whether or not to permit discovery, and in limiting the scope of discovery, the arbitrator(s) will take into account the intent of the parties that arbitration be swift and less costly than civil litigation.
14.4. Each party will appoint an arbitrator of his or her choice, obtain its appointee’s acceptance of such appointment, and deliver written notification of such appointment and acceptance to the other party within thirty (30) days after delivery of the Arbitration Notice. Within fifteen (15) days after both parties have appointed an arbitrator, the party-appointed arbitrators will jointly appoint the third arbitrator, obtain the appointee’s acceptance of such appointment, and notify the parties in writing of such appointment and acceptance. The arbitrators must be lawyers admitted to the Bar of the State of California, USA who have practiced law for ten (10) years and have significant experience in computer software development and licensing. The arbitrators will determine the rights and obligations of the parties according to the substantive law of California (excluding conflicts of law principles) as though acting as a court of that state. The arbitration award shall be based on and accompanied by a written opinion containing findings of fact and conclusions of law.
14.5. The arbitrator(s) shall be bound to follow the provisions of this Agreement in resolving the dispute, and may not award punitive damages. The decision of the arbitrator(s) shall be final and binding on the parties, and any award of the arbitrator(s) may be entered or enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction.
14.6. The fees and all expenses of the arbitration and arbitrators shall be advanced equally by the parties, and each party shall be responsible for its own attorneys’ fees in connection with arbitration. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties’ final responsibility for all arbitration fees and related attorneys’ fees and expenses shall be subject to the final decision of the arbitrators.
14.7. The parties recognize that a violation of this Agreement, including without limitation the underlying license set out in Section 2.1, would cause irreparable injury to Licensor, and therefore the parties agree that notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Licensor may apply to any court having jurisdiction to enforce the specific performance of this Agreement and for injunctive relief against any act that would violate same.
14.8. The parties hereby declare their intent that any arbitration proceeding must be completed within ninety (90) days after the parties have agreed upon the arbitrators.
15.1. Non-Exclusivity. This Agreement is non-exclusive and neither party has any exclusive obligations to the other with respect to the subject matter hereof provided that the parties may not take actions that would violate the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including without limitation all Attachments, Appendices and Appendices to this Agreement.

15.4. Force Majeure.

Any modification or waiver of this Agreement or parts of this Agreement, including without limitation any marketing statement, must be in writing, specifically referencing this Agreement, and signed by an authorized representative of the party against whom enforcement of the purported modification or waiver is sought. Any failure to exercise any right, remedy or option or any other waiver by any party of a breach of any provision of this Agreement shall not operate as or be construed to be a waiver of any other breach of that provision or of any breach of any other provision of this Agreement. The failure of a party to insist upon strict adherence to any term of this Agreement on one or more occasions will not be considered a waiver or deprive that party of the right thereafter to insist upon strict adherence to that term or any other term of this Agreement, nor in any way affect the validity of this Agreement.
15.7. Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement is to extend to and be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their successors and assigns.
