As used in this Agreement, the term “Representatives” means, with respect to PHCS or the Recipient, their directors, officers, shareholders, members, managers, partners, employees, affiliates and controlling persons, and their agents, advisors and representatives (including without limitation attorneys, accountants and financial advisors).
2. Exclusions from Confidential Information. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in Paragraph 1, Confidential Information does not include information which (i) was or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure by the Recipient or its Representatives; or (ii) was or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source other than PHCS, provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement with PHCS or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Recipient; or (iii) was within the Recipient’s possession prior to its being furnished by or on behalf of PHCS, provided that the source of such information was not bound by a confidentiality agreement with PHCS in respect thereof or otherwise prohibited from transmitting the information to the Recipient.
3. Use of Confidential Information. As a condition to the disclosure of the Confidential Information, the Recipient agrees to keep the Confidential Information confidential and not to disclose or otherwise use the Confidential Information for any purpose, other than for its business relationship with PHCS, without the prior written consent of PHCS. Accordingly, the Recipient agrees to treat the Confidential Information which it receives as it would its own confidential information and to take all reasonable precautions to prevent the unauthorized disclosure to any third party of any Confidential Information.

5. No Warranty. Neither PHCS nor its Representatives make any representations or warranties as to the accuracy or completeness of the Confidential Information. Each Recipient agrees that neither PHCS nor any of its Representatives shall have any liability to the Recipient or its Representatives resulting from the use of the Confidential Information supplied by PHCS or any of its Representatives.

8. Compelled Disclosure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, in the event that the Recipient or its Representatives are requested or become legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information or take any other action prohibited hereby, the Recipient shall provide PHCS with prompt written notice so that PHCS may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not sought or obtained or that the compliance with the provisions of this Agreement is waived, the Recipient agrees that it will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which, in the reasonable opinion of its counsel, the Recipient is compelled to disclose without standing liable for contempt or suffering other censure or penalty.

10. Injunctive Relief. The parties acknowledge and agree that, in the event of any breach of this Agreement, PHCS might be irreparably harmed and unable to be made whole by monetary damages.

1. PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT
The Parties to this Agreement desire to engage in discussions regarding present and/or potential future business relationships. This Agreement combines a non-disclosure, a non-circumvention, non-solicitation and non-competition agreement. The Parties intend to engage in substantive discussions and sharing of confidential information regarding certain new and useful business opportunities, business contacts, trade secrets, business entity formation and structuring.
In connection with these discussions, it may be necessary and/or desirable for the Parties to provide the other with, or allow access to, proprietary, technical, or business data, and/or other confidential information (collectively the "Confidential Information"). Therefore, the Parties hereby agree that they are bound by an obligation of confidentiality.
The Parties both believe, and hereby agree, that Confidential Information has significant commercial value that would be diminished by unauthorized disclosure. Accordingly, the commitments of confidentiality in this Agreement are a condition to the Parties’ willingness to engage in the contemplated business discussions and planning.
The Parties agree that they shall not use any advantages derivable from such information in its own business or affairs, unless the same is done pursuant to a new agreement with all other signatories to this document. Each signing party shall be held responsible and liable in case of a breach of this Agreement both in a professional and personal capacity.
2. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Confidential Information shall be defined as any information specifically identified as “Confidential” prior to disclosure to the other Party. This identification shall be by way of formal correspondence (letter, fax or email) addressed to the other Party outlining the proposed information to be disclosed (without giving specific details), requesting the receiving Party to recognise this as Confidential Information and therefore being bound by this Agreement. The receiving Party has the right to accept the information under this Agreement or to decline the information in which case it will not be provided.
3. OBLIGATION OF CONFIDENTIALITY
The Parties agree that when receipt of any Confidential Information has occurred:
3a. The receiving Party shall not disclose or communicate Confidential Information to any third party, except as herein provided. The receiving Party shall protect such information from disclosure by reasonable means, including but not limited to at least the same minimal level of security that the receiving Party uses for its most crucial proprietary and trade secret information.
3b. The receiving Party shall reasonably protect the Confidential Information with not less than the same degree of care exercised by its own personnel to protect its own, or publication of its own, most valuable confidential and proprietary information.
4. OBLIGATION OF NON-COMPETITION
The non-competition provisions of this Agreement are an essential and material part of the total agreement, by which the Parties agree they shall not use any advantages derivable from such confidential information in their own business or affairs, unless the same is done pursuant to a new agreement executed by all signatories to this document.
5. NON-CIRCUMVENTION
The Parties hereby agree on behalf of themselves, their officers, directors, agents, associates and any related parties, that they will not, directly or indirectly, contact, deal with or otherwise become involved with any entity or any other entities or parties introduced, directly or indirectly, by or through the other party, its officers, directors, agents or associates, for the purpose of avoiding the payment to the other Party of profits, fees or other amounts, without the specific written approval of the other Party.
6. NO REPRESENTATIONS
The Parties both understand that each Party makes no representation or warranty as to the accuracy or completeness of the information it provides. The Parties both agree that neither Party, nor any of its advisers, representatives, agents, or employees shall be held liable for utilization of Confidential Information which results from the other Party’s use of said information.

9e. ANY and ALL additions, modifications, and waivers of this Agreement must be made in writing and signed by all Parties. However, the failure of a Party to insist on full compliance with any provisions of this Agreement in a particular instance shall not preclude it from requiring full compliance thereafter.
