agrees to perform the Development and Manufacturing Services.
	 	 	 

		(b)	Provided NXT-ID meets its obligations under this Agreement (including, without limitation, paying
Identita the Fees contemplated by Article 3.1 hereinafter), Identita shall manufacture and deliver to NXT-ID a minimum of 100 (one
hundred) Evaluation Samples according to the Milestones set out in Schedule B and the Specifications in Schedule D,
failing which NXT-ID has the right to terminate this Agreement.

in all material respects, with the Concept in Schedule A and Specifications in Schedule D within a period of 7 (seven)
Working Days after delivery of each version of the Evaluation Samples (the “Evaluation Period”).
	 	 	 

		(d)	In the event NXT-ID’s evaluation suggests the Evaluation Samples do not comply with the Specifications,
NXT-ID shall provide written notice to Identita of same and provide Identita with all information in its possession relating to
its evaluation and such non-compliance (a “Notice of non-conformity”). Identita shall, at its own costs and
expense, improve the Evaluation Samples in accordance with the Notice of non-conformity and ensure compliance with the Specifications
and shall deliver to NXT-ID the new updated Evaluation Samples, within 60 (sixty) Working Days of the Notice of non-conformity,
conforming to the Specifications or to the new Specifications contained in the Notice of non-conformity, or such other date as
may be separately agreed between the parties. NXT-ID and Identita may, at NXT-ID’s election, review the Specifications and,
if mutually agreed, revise the Specifications to facilitate the design and manufacture of conforming Evaluation Samples. The parties
shall, at NXT-ID’s election and on mutually acceptable terms and conditions, work together cooperatively until the Evaluation
Samples comply with the Specifications, failing which NXT-ID retains the right to terminate this Agreement. If NXT-ID has not provided

		10.1	Confidentiality Information.

 

For the purposes hereof, “Confidential
Information” means all of the following disclosed or exchanged in connection with the this Agreement or the performance
of this Agreement and all of the following owned or possessed by a party or its affiliates: (i) all information that is a trade
secret under applicable trade secret or other law; (ii) all information concerning product specifications, data, know-how, formulae,
compositions, processes, designs, sketches, photographs, graphs, drawings, samples, inventions and ideas, manufacturing or distribution
methods and processes, customer lists; (iii) all information concerning the business and affairs of the disclosing party; (iv)
all intellectual property and rights held by the disclosing party or to which it has access (including, without limitation, in
the case of Identita, all information relating to the Technology) (and including, without limitation, in the case of NXT-ID, all
information relating to the Concept, Specification, and “Pinch Power” method to activate a card when held by a user;
(v) any information marked as confidential or proprietary; and (vi) all notes, analyses, compilations, studies, summaries and other
material prepared by the receiving party to the extent containing or based, in whole or in part, upon any information included
in the foregoing.

 

“Confidential Information”
shall not include any information that: (i) at the time of disclosure is in the public domain; (ii) after disclosure becomes part
of the public domain through no fault of the recipient, but only after it becomes part of the public domain; (iii) after disclosure
hereunder is lawfully acquired by the recipient from a third party who, insofar as the recipient is aware, has no obligation to
the disclosing party not to disclose such information, but only after such acquisition from the third party and in accordance with
the terms and conditions, if any, respecting disclosure and use imposed by the third party; or (v) is independently developed by
the recipient without access to the disclosing party’s Confidential Information.

 

    	9

    	 

    

 

		10.2	Confidentiality Obligation.

 

Each party agrees that (except as may be
required by law) during the Term of this Agreement and after the expiry or termination hereof, it will not disclose or use, and
it will cause its affiliates, permitted sub-licencees and sub-contractors and the officers, directors, employees, representatives,
agents, and advisers of it and its affiliates, sub-licencees and sub-contractors not to disclose or use, any Confidential Information
furnished, or to be furnished, by the other party to it, in connection herewith at any time or in any manner other than as reasonably
required to perform its obligations under this Agreement; provided that any of such Confidential Information may be disclosed to
the receiving party’s officers, directors, employees, affiliates, representatives, agents, sub-licencees, sub-contractors
and advisers (collectively, “Representatives”) who reasonably need to know such information in connection with
performing its obligations under this Agreement if the receiving party requires the Representative to agree to confidentiality
and use obligations consistent with this Agreement and provided that receiving party shall be liable for any breach of the provisions
of this Article 10 by any such Representative. In fulfilling its obligations under this Article, each party agrees to use no less
than the same degree of care, and no less than a reasonable degree of care, as is used for comparable types of information.

of Confidential Information may make such a disclosure if, and solely to the extent that, such a disclosure is required by law,

and any such permitted disclosure shall not affect or impair recipient’s obligations of confidentiality with respect to the
Confidential Information.

Because an award of money damages may be
inadequate for any breach of this Article by a recipient of Confidential Information, and any such breach may cause a disclosing
party irreparable harm, recipient agrees that, in the event of any breach or threatened breach of this Article, a disclosing party
will also be entitled, without the requirement of posting a bond or other security, to request equitable relief, including injunctive
relief and specific performance. Such remedies will not be the exclusive remedies for any breach of this Article but will be in

party shall (and shall cause its Representatives to) promptly: (a) return to the other party all original documents containing
