This Agreement embodies all the understandings between the Parties concerning the subject matter hereof, and merges all prior discussions and writing between them as to confidentiality of Confidential Information. Neither Party shall be bound by any conditions, warranties nor representations with respect to confidentiality of Confidential Information other than as expressly provided in this Agreement. 4. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the District of Columbia, without regard to principles of conflicts of laws.

Obligations Regarding Confidential Information (a) Vendor shall: (i) Not use any Confidential Information except as required for the Purpose. For further certainty, the Purpose expressly excludes the development of or provision by Vendor of a gateway or any web-hosted service that consolidates the exchange of Claim Information between Providers and IBC or any web-based or application service provider based practice management system. (ii) Not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties, except as expressly provided in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) of this Agreement; (iii) Take reasonable security precautions, no less than those precautions it takes to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care, to keep confidential the Confidential Information; (iv) Refrain from disclosing, reproducing, summarizing and/or distributing Confidential Information except as expressly required for the Purpose, and only as otherwise provided hereunder; and (v) Refrain from reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling any software code disclosed by IBC to Vendor under the terms of this Agreement, except as expressly permitted by applicable law.

Vendor’s use of such IBC provided software code is subject to such EULA provisions governing redistributable code and Vendor must ensure that its license agreement for the PMS Software will also pass down those terms and conditions to its licensees who receive a copy of any IBC provided software code. In the event IBC elects to utilize a development tool in the future that would require the provision of redistributable code that is subject to licensing requirements then the applicable EULA will be provided to Vendor in conjunction with the provision of any applicable compiled software code containing redistributable code generated using such development tool. (j) Vendor shall ensure that in its license agreement for the PMS Software: a. It includes protections that protect IBC and its licensors and subcontractors from any liability to Vendor’s licensees in respect of such licensee’s use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information; b.

It includes a copyright notice sufficient to protect IBC copyright in any redistributed software code. d. It contains a prohibition against any further distribution by such licensee of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information. e. It includes a prohibition against the use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information for the provision of services relating to practice management to third parties. f. It otherwise complies with all of the requirements contained in an applicable EULA provided by or identified by IBC. 3. Remedies Vendor acknowledges that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and that IBC shall be entitled, without waiving any other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bonds. Vendor agrees to defend any and all Claims that may be brought or alleged against IBC and/or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors, and indemnify and hold harmless IBC and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and contractors, from and against any and all Claims or damages that may arise, by reason of any breach of this Agreement by Vendor, its personnel or contractors or from Vendor’s use of the Confidential Information including any deficiency in or other issue relating to the use or distribution of that portion of the PMS System that is developed using the Confidential Information. For any Claims that IBC chooses to defend, the Vendor shall, to the extent requested by IBC, participate in and co-operate with and assist IBC in such defence and any related settlement negotiations. 4. Miscellaneous (a) All Confidential Information, and all associated intellectual property rights therein, are and shall remain the exclusive property of IBC and its licensors. By disclosing Confidential Information to Vendor, IBC does not grant any express or implied right to Vendor to or under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secret information except as otherwise provided herein.

Any use shall be solely at the risk of Vendor. Any software code included in the Confidential Information is for illustrative purposes only. IBC makes no warranties or representations with respect to the Confidential Information, including any warranties or representations that any Confidential Information will be accurate, complete or up-to-date, or free of errors or omissions or that any Confidential Information will be fit for any purpose. Vendor is solely responsible for ensuring that the Confidential Information is suitable for the Vendor’s needs. WITH RESPECT TO THE HCAI SYSTEM, THE SERVICES, OR ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, IBC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. (c) IBC has or expects to enter into service agreements directly with Providers that will govern such Provider’s access to and use of the HCAI System. However, IBC does not guarantee availability or operation of the HCAI System to Vendor. Without prejudice to any right an individual Provider may have against IBC, IBC shall have no liability to Vendor in respect of any failure or problem in the operation of the HCAI System, including any communication problems between Providers and the HCAI System. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MEASURE OF DAMAGES PAYABLE BY EITHER PARTY INCLUDE, NOR WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR, ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES DUE TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, SAVINGS, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OR GOODWILL) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OR FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY REMEDY CONTAINED HEREIN), NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF SUCH DAMAGES EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE. IBC’S LIABILITY FOR ANY MATTER RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, WHETHER BASED UPON AN ACTION OR CLAIM IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, EQUITY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE AND IN RESPECT OF ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS AND DAMAGES, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. (d) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by both parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of IBC, the Vendor, their agents, or employees, but only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized employee of IBC and the Vendor. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision(s) or of the same provision on another occasion. No employee, agent or representative of IBC is authorized to make any additional representation, warranty or covenant on behalf of IBC. (e) If either party employs lawyers to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable lawyers’ fees and costs. This Agreement shall be construed and controlled by the laws in force in the Province of Ontario, and the parties further consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal or provincial courts sitting in Toronto, Ontario. Vendor waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. Process may be served on either party in the manner authorized by applicable law or court rule. (f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party’s respective successors and lawful assigns; provided, however, that Vendor may not assign this Agreement (whether by operation of law, sale of securities or assets, merger or otherwise), in whole or in part, without the prior written approval of IBC. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. HCAI may assign this Agreement to any entity which acquires responsibility for the operation of the HCAI System. (g) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. (h) IBC may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Vendor. IBC will not exercise such discretion to terminate the Agreement with a specific vendor except for commercially reasonable grounds. All sections of this Agreement relating to the rights and obligations of the parties concerning Confidential Information disclosed during the term of the Agreement shall survive any such termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Vendor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is practical, remove any functionality incorporated in the PMS System that is based on the Confidential Information. (i) The parties confirm that each has read this Agreement in its entirety, that the Agreement is being entered into without undue influence or fraud or coercion or misrepresentation whatsoever, that each has had independent legal advice, that each understands its respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, and that this Agreement is being executed voluntarily. (j) It is the express wish of the parties that this Agreement and all related documents be drawn up in English.

(c) Exclusions. Confidential Information shall not include any information, other than Personal Information, however designated, that: (i) is or subsequently becomes publicly available without Vendor's breach of any obligation owed to IBC; (ii) became known to Vendor prior to IBC’s disclosure of such information to Vendor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (iii) became known to Vendor from a source other than IBC other than by the breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed to IBC; or (iv) is independently developed by Vendor without reliance upon any part of the information disclosed by IBC and/or relating to the HCAI System. 2. Obligations Regarding Confidential Information (a) Vendor shall: (i) Not use any Confidential Information except as required for the Purpose. For further certainty, the Purpose expressly excludes the development of or provision by Vendor of a gateway or any web-hosted service that consolidates the exchange of Claim Information between Providers and IBC or any web-based or application service provider based practice management system. (ii) Not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties, except as expressly provided in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) of this Agreement; (iii) Take reasonable security precautions, no less than those precautions it takes to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care, to keep confidential the Confidential Information; (iv) Refrain from disclosing, reproducing, summarizing and/or distributing Confidential Information except as expressly required for the Purpose, and only as otherwise provided hereunder; and (v) Refrain from reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling any software code disclosed by IBC to Vendor under the terms of this Agreement, except as expressly permitted by applicable law.

(c) The undersigned Vendor may disclose Confidential Information only to Vendor's employees and consultants on a need-to-know basis but in any event only if Vendor has executed written agreements with its employees and consultants that contain obligations that are no less restrictive than those contained in this Agreement and has informed such employees and consultants of the confidential nature of such information. (d) Vendor shall notify IBC immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information or any other breach of this Agreement by Vendor and its employees and consultants, and will cooperate with IBC in every reasonable way to help IBC regain possession of the Confidential Information and prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure.

Such software code would be subject to terms and conditions governing redistributable code as contained in the third party licensor’s End User License Agreement (EULA). Vendor’s use of such IBC provided software code is subject to such EULA provisions governing redistributable code and Vendor must ensure that its license agreement for the PMS Software will also pass down those terms and conditions to its licensees who receive a copy of any IBC provided software code. In the event IBC elects to utilize a development tool in the future that would require the provision of redistributable code that is subject to licensing requirements then the applicable EULA will be provided to Vendor in conjunction with the provision of any applicable compiled software code containing redistributable code generated using such development tool. (j) Vendor shall ensure that in its license agreement for the PMS Software: a. It includes protections that protect IBC and its licensors and subcontractors from any liability to Vendor’s licensees in respect of such licensee’s use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information; b. It includes intellectual property protections for the Confidential Information that are no less stringent that those applicable in respect of the PMS Software but in any event prohibit any disassembly or reverse engineering of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information (provided that a prohibition on reverse engineering of the entire PMS Software shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this provision). c. It includes a copyright notice sufficient to protect IBC copyright in any redistributed software code. d. It contains a prohibition against any further distribution by such licensee of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information. e. It includes a prohibition against the use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information for the provision of services relating to practice management to third parties. f. It otherwise complies with all of the requirements contained in an applicable EULA provided by or identified by IBC. 3. Remedies Vendor acknowledges that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and that IBC shall be entitled, without waiving any other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bonds. Vendor agrees to defend any and all Claims that may be brought or alleged against IBC and/or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors, and indemnify and hold harmless IBC and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and contractors, from and against any and all Claims or damages that may arise, by reason of any breach of this Agreement by Vendor, its personnel or contractors or from Vendor’s use of the Confidential Information including any deficiency in or other issue relating to the use or distribution of that portion of the PMS System that is developed using the Confidential Information. For any Claims that IBC chooses to defend, the Vendor shall, to the extent requested by IBC, participate in and co-operate with and assist IBC in such defence and any related settlement negotiations. 4. Miscellaneous (a) All Confidential Information, and all associated intellectual property rights therein, are and shall remain the exclusive property of IBC and its licensors. By disclosing Confidential Information to Vendor, IBC does not grant any express or implied right to Vendor to or under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secret information except as otherwise provided herein. (b) All Confidential Information is provided by IBC (i) on a non-exclusive basis and (ii) on an “as is” basis without any representation or warranty of any kind. Any use shall be solely at the risk of Vendor. Any software code included in the Confidential Information is for illustrative purposes only. IBC makes no warranties or representations with respect to the Confidential Information, including any warranties or representations that any Confidential Information will be accurate, complete or up-to-date, or free of errors or omissions or that any Confidential Information will be fit for any purpose. Vendor is solely responsible for ensuring that the Confidential Information is suitable for the Vendor’s needs. WITH RESPECT TO THE HCAI SYSTEM, THE SERVICES, OR ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, IBC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. (c) IBC has or expects to enter into service agreements directly with Providers that will govern such Provider’s access to and use of the HCAI System. However, IBC does not guarantee availability or operation of the HCAI System to Vendor. Without prejudice to any right an individual Provider may have against IBC, IBC shall have no liability to Vendor in respect of any failure or problem in the operation of the HCAI System, including any communication problems between Providers and the HCAI System. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MEASURE OF DAMAGES PAYABLE BY EITHER PARTY INCLUDE, NOR WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR, ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES DUE TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, SAVINGS, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OR GOODWILL) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OR FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY REMEDY CONTAINED HEREIN), NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF SUCH DAMAGES EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE. IBC’S LIABILITY FOR ANY MATTER RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, WHETHER BASED UPON AN ACTION OR CLAIM IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, EQUITY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE AND IN RESPECT OF ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS AND DAMAGES, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. (d) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by both parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of IBC, the Vendor, their agents, or employees, but only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized employee of IBC and the Vendor. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision(s) or of the same provision on another occasion. No employee, agent or representative of IBC is authorized to make any additional representation, warranty or covenant on behalf of IBC. (e) If either party employs lawyers to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable lawyers’ fees and costs. This Agreement shall be construed and controlled by the laws in force in the Province of Ontario, and the parties further consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal or provincial courts sitting in Toronto, Ontario. Vendor waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. Process may be served on either party in the manner authorized by applicable law or court rule. (f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party’s respective successors and lawful assigns; provided, however, that Vendor may not assign this Agreement (whether by operation of law, sale of securities or assets, merger or otherwise), in whole or in part, without the prior written approval of IBC. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. HCAI may assign this Agreement to any entity which acquires responsibility for the operation of the HCAI System. (g) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. (h) IBC may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Vendor. IBC will not exercise such discretion to terminate the Agreement with a specific vendor except for commercially reasonable grounds. All sections of this Agreement relating to the rights and obligations of the parties concerning Confidential Information disclosed during the term of the Agreement shall survive any such termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Vendor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is practical, remove any functionality incorporated in the PMS System that is based on the Confidential Information. (i) The parties confirm that each has read this Agreement in its entirety, that the Agreement is being entered into without undue influence or fraud or coercion or misrepresentation whatsoever, that each has had independent legal advice, that each understands its respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, and that this Agreement is being executed voluntarily. (j) It is the express wish of the parties that this Agreement and all related documents be drawn up in English.

For further certainty, the Purpose expressly excludes the development of or provision by Vendor of a gateway or any web-hosted service that consolidates the exchange of Claim Information between Providers and IBC or any web-based or application service provider based practice management system. (ii) Not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties, except as expressly provided in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) of this Agreement; (iii) Take reasonable security precautions, no less than those precautions it takes to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care, to keep confidential the Confidential Information; (iv) Refrain from disclosing, reproducing, summarizing and/or distributing Confidential Information except as expressly required for the Purpose, and only as otherwise provided hereunder; and (v) Refrain from reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling any software code disclosed by IBC to Vendor under the terms of this Agreement, except as expressly permitted by applicable law. (b) Vendor may disclose Confidential Information in accordance with a Canadian judicial or other legal binding Canadian governmental order, provided that Vendor either (i) gives IBC reasonable notice prior to such disclosure to allow IBC a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or equivalent, or (ii) obtains written assurance from the applicable judicial or governmental entity that it will afford the Confidential Information the highest level of protection afforded under applicable law or regulation. (c) The undersigned Vendor may disclose Confidential Information only to Vendor's employees and consultants on a need-to-know basis but in any event only if Vendor has executed written agreements with its employees and consultants that contain obligations that are no less restrictive than those contained in this Agreement and has informed such employees and consultants of the confidential nature of such information. (d) Vendor shall notify IBC immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information or any other breach of this Agreement by Vendor and its employees and consultants, and will cooperate with IBC in every reasonable way to help IBC regain possession of the Confidential Information and prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure. (e) Vendor shall, at IBC’s request, return all originals, copies, reproductions and summaries of Confidential Information and all other tangible materials and devices provided to Vendor as Confidential Information, or at IBC's option, certify destruction of the same. (f) To the extent any Confidential Information contains any Personal Information, Vendor agrees to comply with applicable Privacy Laws. (g) From time to time IBC may provide updates or changes to the Confidential Information. Upon receipt of any such update or change, Vendor shall promptly review such information and if necessary will use commercially reasonable efforts to issue an upgrade to its PMS System which will permit such PMS System to continue to communicate with the HCAI System. (h) Any enhancement developed by Vendor for the PMS Software in reliance upon the Confidential Information shall (A) be provided in object code form only and (B) shall include commercially reasonable security protections in respect of any HCAI System authentication credentials that are stored by the PMS System between sessions. As between IBC and Vendor, any such HCAI System authentication credentials shall constitute Confidential Information of IBC and may not be used in any way by Vendor or its personnel or contractors. (i) Certain components of the Confidential Information MAY consist of compiled software code (such as files containing an extension of DLL or EXE) which were developed and/or generated using a third party development tool. Such software code would be subject to terms and conditions governing redistributable code as contained in the third party licensor’s End User License Agreement (EULA). Vendor’s use of such IBC provided software code is subject to such EULA provisions governing redistributable code and Vendor must ensure that its license agreement for the PMS Software will also pass down those terms and conditions to its licensees who receive a copy of any IBC provided software code. In the event IBC elects to utilize a development tool in the future that would require the provision of redistributable code that is subject to licensing requirements then the applicable EULA will be provided to Vendor in conjunction with the provision of any applicable compiled software code containing redistributable code generated using such development tool. (j) Vendor shall ensure that in its license agreement for the PMS Software: a. It includes protections that protect IBC and its licensors and subcontractors from any liability to Vendor’s licensees in respect of such licensee’s use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information; b. It includes intellectual property protections for the Confidential Information that are no less stringent that those applicable in respect of the PMS Software but in any event prohibit any disassembly or reverse engineering of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information (provided that a prohibition on reverse engineering of the entire PMS Software shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this provision). c. It includes a copyright notice sufficient to protect IBC copyright in any redistributed software code. d. It contains a prohibition against any further distribution by such licensee of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information. e. It includes a prohibition against the use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information for the provision of services relating to practice management to third parties. f. It otherwise complies with all of the requirements contained in an applicable EULA provided by or identified by IBC. 3. Remedies Vendor acknowledges that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and that IBC shall be entitled, without waiving any other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bonds. Vendor agrees to defend any and all Claims that may be brought or alleged against IBC and/or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors, and indemnify and hold harmless IBC and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and contractors, from and against any and all Claims or damages that may arise, by reason of any breach of this Agreement by Vendor, its personnel or contractors or from Vendor’s use of the Confidential Information including any deficiency in or other issue relating to the use or distribution of that portion of the PMS System that is developed using the Confidential Information. For any Claims that IBC chooses to defend, the Vendor shall, to the extent requested by IBC, participate in and co-operate with and assist IBC in such defence and any related settlement negotiations. 4. Miscellaneous (a) All Confidential Information, and all associated intellectual property rights therein, are and shall remain the exclusive property of IBC and its licensors. By disclosing Confidential Information to Vendor, IBC does not grant any express or implied right to Vendor to or under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secret information except as otherwise provided herein. (b) All Confidential Information is provided by IBC (i) on a non-exclusive basis and (ii) on an “as is” basis without any representation or warranty of any kind. Any use shall be solely at the risk of Vendor. Any software code included in the Confidential Information is for illustrative purposes only. IBC makes no warranties or representations with respect to the Confidential Information, including any warranties or representations that any Confidential Information will be accurate, complete or up-to-date, or free of errors or omissions or that any Confidential Information will be fit for any purpose. Vendor is solely responsible for ensuring that the Confidential Information is suitable for the Vendor’s needs. WITH RESPECT TO THE HCAI SYSTEM, THE SERVICES, OR ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, IBC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. (c) IBC has or expects to enter into service agreements directly with Providers that will govern such Provider’s access to and use of the HCAI System. However, IBC does not guarantee availability or operation of the HCAI System to Vendor. Without prejudice to any right an individual Provider may have against IBC, IBC shall have no liability to Vendor in respect of any failure or problem in the operation of the HCAI System, including any communication problems between Providers and the HCAI System. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MEASURE OF DAMAGES PAYABLE BY EITHER PARTY INCLUDE, NOR WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR, ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES DUE TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, SAVINGS, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OR GOODWILL) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OR FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY REMEDY CONTAINED HEREIN), NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF SUCH DAMAGES EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE. IBC’S LIABILITY FOR ANY MATTER RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, WHETHER BASED UPON AN ACTION OR CLAIM IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, EQUITY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE AND IN RESPECT OF ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS AND DAMAGES, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. (d) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by both parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of IBC, the Vendor, their agents, or employees, but only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized employee of IBC and the Vendor. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision(s) or of the same provision on another occasion. No employee, agent or representative of IBC is authorized to make any additional representation, warranty or covenant on behalf of IBC. (e) If either party employs lawyers to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable lawyers’ fees and costs. This Agreement shall be construed and controlled by the laws in force in the Province of Ontario, and the parties further consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal or provincial courts sitting in Toronto, Ontario. Vendor waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. Process may be served on either party in the manner authorized by applicable law or court rule. (f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party’s respective successors and lawful assigns; provided, however, that Vendor may not assign this Agreement (whether by operation of law, sale of securities or assets, merger or otherwise), in whole or in part, without the prior written approval of IBC. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. HCAI may assign this Agreement to any entity which acquires responsibility for the operation of the HCAI System. (g) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. (h) IBC may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Vendor. IBC will not exercise such discretion to terminate the Agreement with a specific vendor except for commercially reasonable grounds. All sections of this Agreement relating to the rights and obligations of the parties concerning Confidential Information disclosed during the term of the Agreement shall survive any such termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Vendor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is practical, remove any functionality incorporated in the PMS System that is based on the Confidential Information. (i) The parties confirm that each has read this Agreement in its entirety, that the Agreement is being entered into without undue influence or fraud or coercion or misrepresentation whatsoever, that each has had independent legal advice, that each understands its respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, and that this Agreement is being executed voluntarily. (j) It is the express wish of the parties that this Agreement and all related documents be drawn up in English. C’est la volonté expresse des parties que la présente convention ainsi que les documents qui s’y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais.

(b) Vendor may disclose Confidential Information in accordance with a Canadian judicial or other legal binding Canadian governmental order, provided that Vendor either (i) gives IBC reasonable notice prior to such disclosure to allow IBC a reasonable opportunity to seek a protective order or equivalent, or (ii) obtains written assurance from the applicable judicial or governmental entity that it will afford the Confidential Information the highest level of protection afforded under applicable law or regulation. (c) The undersigned Vendor may disclose Confidential Information only to Vendor's employees and consultants on a need-to-know basis but in any event only if Vendor has executed written agreements with its employees and consultants that contain obligations that are no less restrictive than those contained in this Agreement and has informed such employees and consultants of the confidential nature of such information. (d) Vendor shall notify IBC immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information or any other breach of this Agreement by Vendor and its employees and consultants, and will cooperate with IBC in every reasonable way to help IBC regain possession of the Confidential Information and prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure. (e) Vendor shall, at IBC’s request, return all originals, copies, reproductions and summaries of Confidential Information and all other tangible materials and devices provided to Vendor as Confidential Information, or at IBC's option, certify destruction of the same.

(g) From time to time IBC may provide updates or changes to the Confidential Information. Upon receipt of any such update or change, Vendor shall promptly review such information and if necessary will use commercially reasonable efforts to issue an upgrade to its PMS System which will permit such PMS System to continue to communicate with the HCAI System. (h) Any enhancement developed by Vendor for the PMS Software in reliance upon the Confidential Information shall (A) be provided in object code form only and (B) shall include commercially reasonable security protections in respect of any HCAI System authentication credentials that are stored by the PMS System between sessions. As between IBC and Vendor, any such HCAI System authentication credentials shall constitute Confidential Information of IBC and may not be used in any way by Vendor or its personnel or contractors. (i) Certain components of the Confidential Information MAY consist of compiled software code (such as files containing an extension of DLL or EXE) which were developed and/or generated using a third party development tool. Such software code would be subject to terms and conditions governing redistributable code as contained in the third party licensor’s End User License Agreement (EULA). Vendor’s use of such IBC provided software code is subject to such EULA provisions governing redistributable code and Vendor must ensure that its license agreement for the PMS Software will also pass down those terms and conditions to its licensees who receive a copy of any IBC provided software code. In the event IBC elects to utilize a development tool in the future that would require the provision of redistributable code that is subject to licensing requirements then the applicable EULA will be provided to Vendor in conjunction with the provision of any applicable compiled software code containing redistributable code generated using such development tool. (j) Vendor shall ensure that in its license agreement for the PMS Software: a. It includes protections that protect IBC and its licensors and subcontractors from any liability to Vendor’s licensees in respect of such licensee’s use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information; b. It includes intellectual property protections for the Confidential Information that are no less stringent that those applicable in respect of the PMS Software but in any event prohibit any disassembly or reverse engineering of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information (provided that a prohibition on reverse engineering of the entire PMS Software shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this provision). c. It includes a copyright notice sufficient to protect IBC copyright in any redistributed software code. d. It contains a prohibition against any further distribution by such licensee of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information. e. It includes a prohibition against the use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information for the provision of services relating to practice management to third parties. f. It otherwise complies with all of the requirements contained in an applicable EULA provided by or identified by IBC. 3. Remedies Vendor acknowledges that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and that IBC shall be entitled, without waiving any other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bonds. Vendor agrees to defend any and all Claims that may be brought or alleged against IBC and/or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors, and indemnify and hold harmless IBC and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and contractors, from and against any and all Claims or damages that may arise, by reason of any breach of this Agreement by Vendor, its personnel or contractors or from Vendor’s use of the Confidential Information including any deficiency in or other issue relating to the use or distribution of that portion of the PMS System that is developed using the Confidential Information. For any Claims that IBC chooses to defend, the Vendor shall, to the extent requested by IBC, participate in and co-operate with and assist IBC in such defence and any related settlement negotiations. 4. Miscellaneous (a) All Confidential Information, and all associated intellectual property rights therein, are and shall remain the exclusive property of IBC and its licensors. By disclosing Confidential Information to Vendor, IBC does not grant any express or implied right to Vendor to or under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secret information except as otherwise provided herein. (b) All Confidential Information is provided by IBC (i) on a non-exclusive basis and (ii) on an “as is” basis without any representation or warranty of any kind. Any use shall be solely at the risk of Vendor. Any software code included in the Confidential Information is for illustrative purposes only. IBC makes no warranties or representations with respect to the Confidential Information, including any warranties or representations that any Confidential Information will be accurate, complete or up-to-date, or free of errors or omissions or that any Confidential Information will be fit for any purpose. Vendor is solely responsible for ensuring that the Confidential Information is suitable for the Vendor’s needs. WITH RESPECT TO THE HCAI SYSTEM, THE SERVICES, OR ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, IBC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. (c) IBC has or expects to enter into service agreements directly with Providers that will govern such Provider’s access to and use of the HCAI System. However, IBC does not guarantee availability or operation of the HCAI System to Vendor. Without prejudice to any right an individual Provider may have against IBC, IBC shall have no liability to Vendor in respect of any failure or problem in the operation of the HCAI System, including any communication problems between Providers and the HCAI System. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MEASURE OF DAMAGES PAYABLE BY EITHER PARTY INCLUDE, NOR WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR, ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES DUE TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, SAVINGS, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OR GOODWILL) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OR FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY REMEDY CONTAINED HEREIN), NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF SUCH DAMAGES EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE. IBC’S LIABILITY FOR ANY MATTER RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, WHETHER BASED UPON AN ACTION OR CLAIM IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, EQUITY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE AND IN RESPECT OF ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS AND DAMAGES, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. (d) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by both parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of IBC, the Vendor, their agents, or employees, but only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized employee of IBC and the Vendor. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision(s) or of the same provision on another occasion. No employee, agent or representative of IBC is authorized to make any additional representation, warranty or covenant on behalf of IBC. (e) If either party employs lawyers to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable lawyers’ fees and costs. This Agreement shall be construed and controlled by the laws in force in the Province of Ontario, and the parties further consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal or provincial courts sitting in Toronto, Ontario. Vendor waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. Process may be served on either party in the manner authorized by applicable law or court rule. (f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party’s respective successors and lawful assigns; provided, however, that Vendor may not assign this Agreement (whether by operation of law, sale of securities or assets, merger or otherwise), in whole or in part, without the prior written approval of IBC. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. HCAI may assign this Agreement to any entity which acquires responsibility for the operation of the HCAI System. (g) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. (h) IBC may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Vendor. IBC will not exercise such discretion to terminate the Agreement with a specific vendor except for commercially reasonable grounds. All sections of this Agreement relating to the rights and obligations of the parties concerning Confidential Information disclosed during the term of the Agreement shall survive any such termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Vendor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is practical, remove any functionality incorporated in the PMS System that is based on the Confidential Information. (i) The parties confirm that each has read this Agreement in its entirety, that the Agreement is being entered into without undue influence or fraud or coercion or misrepresentation whatsoever, that each has had independent legal advice, that each understands its respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, and that this Agreement is being executed voluntarily. (j) It is the express wish of the parties that this Agreement and all related documents be drawn up in English. C’est la volonté expresse des parties que la présente convention ainsi que les documents qui s’y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais.

(d) Vendor shall notify IBC immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information or any other breach of this Agreement by Vendor and its employees and consultants, and will cooperate with IBC in every reasonable way to help IBC regain possession of the Confidential Information and prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure. (e) Vendor shall, at IBC’s request, return all originals, copies, reproductions and summaries of Confidential Information and all other tangible materials and devices provided to Vendor as Confidential Information, or at IBC's option, certify destruction of the same.

(g) From time to time IBC may provide updates or changes to the Confidential Information.

(h) Any enhancement developed by Vendor for the PMS Software in reliance upon the Confidential Information shall (A) be provided in object code form only and (B) shall include commercially reasonable security protections in respect of any HCAI System authentication credentials that are stored by the PMS System between sessions. As between IBC and Vendor, any such HCAI System authentication credentials shall constitute Confidential Information of IBC and may not be used in any way by Vendor or its personnel or contractors. (i) Certain components of the Confidential Information MAY consist of compiled software code (such as files containing an extension of DLL or EXE) which were developed and/or generated using a third party development tool. Such software code would be subject to terms and conditions governing redistributable code as contained in the third party licensor’s End User License Agreement (EULA). Vendor’s use of such IBC provided software code is subject to such EULA provisions governing redistributable code and Vendor must ensure that its license agreement for the PMS Software will also pass down those terms and conditions to its licensees who receive a copy of any IBC provided software code. In the event IBC elects to utilize a development tool in the future that would require the provision of redistributable code that is subject to licensing requirements then the applicable EULA will be provided to Vendor in conjunction with the provision of any applicable compiled software code containing redistributable code generated using such development tool. (j) Vendor shall ensure that in its license agreement for the PMS Software: a. It includes protections that protect IBC and its licensors and subcontractors from any liability to Vendor’s licensees in respect of such licensee’s use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information; b. It includes intellectual property protections for the Confidential Information that are no less stringent that those applicable in respect of the PMS Software but in any event prohibit any disassembly or reverse engineering of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information (provided that a prohibition on reverse engineering of the entire PMS Software shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this provision). c. It includes a copyright notice sufficient to protect IBC copyright in any redistributed software code. d. It contains a prohibition against any further distribution by such licensee of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information. e. It includes a prohibition against the use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information for the provision of services relating to practice management to third parties. f. It otherwise complies with all of the requirements contained in an applicable EULA provided by or identified by IBC. 3. Remedies Vendor acknowledges that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and that IBC shall be entitled, without waiving any other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bonds. Vendor agrees to defend any and all Claims that may be brought or alleged against IBC and/or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors, and indemnify and hold harmless IBC and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and contractors, from and against any and all Claims or damages that may arise, by reason of any breach of this Agreement by Vendor, its personnel or contractors or from Vendor’s use of the Confidential Information including any deficiency in or other issue relating to the use or distribution of that portion of the PMS System that is developed using the Confidential Information. For any Claims that IBC chooses to defend, the Vendor shall, to the extent requested by IBC, participate in and co-operate with and assist IBC in such defence and any related settlement negotiations. 4. Miscellaneous (a) All Confidential Information, and all associated intellectual property rights therein, are and shall remain the exclusive property of IBC and its licensors. By disclosing Confidential Information to Vendor, IBC does not grant any express or implied right to Vendor to or under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secret information except as otherwise provided herein. (b) All Confidential Information is provided by IBC (i) on a non-exclusive basis and (ii) on an “as is” basis without any representation or warranty of any kind. Any use shall be solely at the risk of Vendor. Any software code included in the Confidential Information is for illustrative purposes only. IBC makes no warranties or representations with respect to the Confidential Information, including any warranties or representations that any Confidential Information will be accurate, complete or up-to-date, or free of errors or omissions or that any Confidential Information will be fit for any purpose. Vendor is solely responsible for ensuring that the Confidential Information is suitable for the Vendor’s needs. WITH RESPECT TO THE HCAI SYSTEM, THE SERVICES, OR ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, IBC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. (c) IBC has or expects to enter into service agreements directly with Providers that will govern such Provider’s access to and use of the HCAI System. However, IBC does not guarantee availability or operation of the HCAI System to Vendor. Without prejudice to any right an individual Provider may have against IBC, IBC shall have no liability to Vendor in respect of any failure or problem in the operation of the HCAI System, including any communication problems between Providers and the HCAI System. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MEASURE OF DAMAGES PAYABLE BY EITHER PARTY INCLUDE, NOR WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR, ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES DUE TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, SAVINGS, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OR GOODWILL) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OR FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY REMEDY CONTAINED HEREIN), NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF SUCH DAMAGES EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE. IBC’S LIABILITY FOR ANY MATTER RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, WHETHER BASED UPON AN ACTION OR CLAIM IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, EQUITY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE AND IN RESPECT OF ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS AND DAMAGES, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. (d) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by both parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of IBC, the Vendor, their agents, or employees, but only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized employee of IBC and the Vendor. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision(s) or of the same provision on another occasion. No employee, agent or representative of IBC is authorized to make any additional representation, warranty or covenant on behalf of IBC. (e) If either party employs lawyers to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable lawyers’ fees and costs. This Agreement shall be construed and controlled by the laws in force in the Province of Ontario, and the parties further consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal or provincial courts sitting in Toronto, Ontario. Vendor waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. Process may be served on either party in the manner authorized by applicable law or court rule. (f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party’s respective successors and lawful assigns; provided, however, that Vendor may not assign this Agreement (whether by operation of law, sale of securities or assets, merger or otherwise), in whole or in part, without the prior written approval of IBC. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. HCAI may assign this Agreement to any entity which acquires responsibility for the operation of the HCAI System. (g) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. (h) IBC may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Vendor. IBC will not exercise such discretion to terminate the Agreement with a specific vendor except for commercially reasonable grounds. All sections of this Agreement relating to the rights and obligations of the parties concerning Confidential Information disclosed during the term of the Agreement shall survive any such termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Vendor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is practical, remove any functionality incorporated in the PMS System that is based on the Confidential Information. (i) The parties confirm that each has read this Agreement in its entirety, that the Agreement is being entered into without undue influence or fraud or coercion or misrepresentation whatsoever, that each has had independent legal advice, that each understands its respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, and that this Agreement is being executed voluntarily. (j) It is the express wish of the parties that this Agreement and all related documents be drawn up in English. C’est la volonté expresse des parties que la présente convention ainsi que les documents qui s’y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais.

(h) Any enhancement developed by Vendor for the PMS Software in reliance upon the Confidential Information shall (A) be provided in object code form only and (B) shall include commercially reasonable security protections in respect of any HCAI System authentication credentials that are stored by the PMS System between sessions. As between IBC and Vendor, any such HCAI System authentication credentials shall constitute Confidential Information of IBC and may not be used in any way by Vendor or its personnel or contractors. (i) Certain components of the Confidential Information MAY consist of compiled software code (such as files containing an extension of DLL or EXE) which were developed and/or generated using a third party development tool. Such software code would be subject to terms and conditions governing redistributable code as contained in the third party licensor’s End User License Agreement (EULA). Vendor’s use of such IBC provided software code is subject to such EULA provisions governing redistributable code and Vendor must ensure that its license agreement for the PMS Software will also pass down those terms and conditions to its licensees who receive a copy of any IBC provided software code. In the event IBC elects to utilize a development tool in the future that would require the provision of redistributable code that is subject to licensing requirements then the applicable EULA will be provided to Vendor in conjunction with the provision of any applicable compiled software code containing redistributable code generated using such development tool. (j) Vendor shall ensure that in its license agreement for the PMS Software: a. It includes protections that protect IBC and its licensors and subcontractors from any liability to Vendor’s licensees in respect of such licensee’s use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information; b. It includes intellectual property protections for the Confidential Information that are no less stringent that those applicable in respect of the PMS Software but in any event prohibit any disassembly or reverse engineering of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information (provided that a prohibition on reverse engineering of the entire PMS Software shall be sufficient to satisfy the requirements of this provision). c. It includes a copyright notice sufficient to protect IBC copyright in any redistributed software code. d. It contains a prohibition against any further distribution by such licensee of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information. e. It includes a prohibition against the use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information for the provision of services relating to practice management to third parties. f. It otherwise complies with all of the requirements contained in an applicable EULA provided by or identified by IBC. 3. Remedies Vendor acknowledges that monetary damages would not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and that IBC shall be entitled, without waiving any other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction, without the necessity of proving actual damages or posting any bonds. Vendor agrees to defend any and all Claims that may be brought or alleged against IBC and/or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors, and indemnify and hold harmless IBC and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and contractors, from and against any and all Claims or damages that may arise, by reason of any breach of this Agreement by Vendor, its personnel or contractors or from Vendor’s use of the Confidential Information including any deficiency in or other issue relating to the use or distribution of that portion of the PMS System that is developed using the Confidential Information. For any Claims that IBC chooses to defend, the Vendor shall, to the extent requested by IBC, participate in and co-operate with and assist IBC in such defence and any related settlement negotiations. 4. Miscellaneous (a) All Confidential Information, and all associated intellectual property rights therein, are and shall remain the exclusive property of IBC and its licensors. By disclosing Confidential Information to Vendor, IBC does not grant any express or implied right to Vendor to or under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secret information except as otherwise provided herein. (b) All Confidential Information is provided by IBC (i) on a non-exclusive basis and (ii) on an “as is” basis without any representation or warranty of any kind. Any use shall be solely at the risk of Vendor. Any software code included in the Confidential Information is for illustrative purposes only. IBC makes no warranties or representations with respect to the Confidential Information, including any warranties or representations that any Confidential Information will be accurate, complete or up-to-date, or free of errors or omissions or that any Confidential Information will be fit for any purpose. Vendor is solely responsible for ensuring that the Confidential Information is suitable for the Vendor’s needs. WITH RESPECT TO THE HCAI SYSTEM, THE SERVICES, OR ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, IBC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT. (c) IBC has or expects to enter into service agreements directly with Providers that will govern such Provider’s access to and use of the HCAI System. However, IBC does not guarantee availability or operation of the HCAI System to Vendor. Without prejudice to any right an individual Provider may have against IBC, IBC shall have no liability to Vendor in respect of any failure or problem in the operation of the HCAI System, including any communication problems between Providers and the HCAI System. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MEASURE OF DAMAGES PAYABLE BY EITHER PARTY INCLUDE, NOR WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR, ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES DUE TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, SAVINGS, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OR GOODWILL) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OR FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY REMEDY CONTAINED HEREIN), NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF SUCH DAMAGES EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE. IBC’S LIABILITY FOR ANY MATTER RELATING TO OR ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, WHETHER BASED UPON AN ACTION OR CLAIM IN CONTRACT, WARRANTY, EQUITY, TORT, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE AND IN RESPECT OF ALL ACTIONS, CLAIMS AND DAMAGES, AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO FIVE HUNDRED DOLLARS. (d) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by both parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of IBC, the Vendor, their agents, or employees, but only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized employee of IBC and the Vendor. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision(s) or of the same provision on another occasion. No employee, agent or representative of IBC is authorized to make any additional representation, warranty or covenant on behalf of IBC. (e) If either party employs lawyers to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable lawyers’ fees and costs. This Agreement shall be construed and controlled by the laws in force in the Province of Ontario, and the parties further consent to non-exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal or provincial courts sitting in Toronto, Ontario. Vendor waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. Process may be served on either party in the manner authorized by applicable law or court rule. (f) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party’s respective successors and lawful assigns; provided, however, that Vendor may not assign this Agreement (whether by operation of law, sale of securities or assets, merger or otherwise), in whole or in part, without the prior written approval of IBC. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. HCAI may assign this Agreement to any entity which acquires responsibility for the operation of the HCAI System. (g) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect. (h) IBC may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to the Vendor. IBC will not exercise such discretion to terminate the Agreement with a specific vendor except for commercially reasonable grounds. All sections of this Agreement relating to the rights and obligations of the parties concerning Confidential Information disclosed during the term of the Agreement shall survive any such termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement, Vendor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to, as promptly as is practical, remove any functionality incorporated in the PMS System that is based on the Confidential Information. (i) The parties confirm that each has read this Agreement in its entirety, that the Agreement is being entered into without undue influence or fraud or coercion or misrepresentation whatsoever, that each has had independent legal advice, that each understands its respective rights and obligations under this Agreement, and that this Agreement is being executed voluntarily. (j) It is the express wish of the parties that this Agreement and all related documents be drawn up in English. C’est la volonté expresse des parties que la présente convention ainsi que les documents qui s’y rattachent soient rédigés en anglais.

It includes a copyright notice sufficient to protect IBC copyright in any redistributed software code. d. It contains a prohibition against any further distribution by such licensee of any component of the PMS Software that incorporates the Confidential Information. e. It includes a prohibition against the use of any portion of the PMS Software that is developed in reliance upon the Confidential Information for the provision of services relating to practice management to third parties. f. It otherwise complies with all of the requirements contained in an applicable EULA provided by or identified by IBC. 3.

Vendor agrees to defend any and all Claims that may be brought or alleged against IBC and/or its respective directors, officers, employees, agents or contractors, and indemnify and hold harmless IBC and its respective directors, officers, employees, agents and contractors, from and against any and all Claims or damages that may arise, by reason of any breach of this Agreement by Vendor, its personnel or contractors or from Vendor’s use of the Confidential Information including any deficiency in or other issue relating to the use or distribution of that portion of the PMS System that is developed using the Confidential Information. For any Claims that IBC chooses to defend, the Vendor shall, to the extent requested by IBC, participate in and co-operate with and assist IBC in such defence and any related settlement negotiations. 4. Miscellaneous (a) All Confidential Information, and all associated intellectual property rights therein, are and shall remain the exclusive property of IBC and its licensors. By disclosing Confidential Information to Vendor, IBC does not grant any express or implied right to Vendor to or under any patents, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secret information except as otherwise provided herein. (b) All Confidential Information is provided by IBC (i) on a non-exclusive basis and (ii) on an “as is” basis without any representation or warranty of any kind.

IBC makes no warranties or representations with respect to the Confidential Information, including any warranties or representations that any Confidential Information will be accurate, complete or up-to-date, or free of errors or omissions or that any Confidential Information will be fit for any purpose. Vendor is solely responsible for ensuring that the Confidential Information is suitable for the Vendor’s needs. WITH RESPECT TO THE HCAI SYSTEM, THE SERVICES, OR ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, IBC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Without prejudice to any right an individual Provider may have against IBC, IBC shall have no liability to Vendor in respect of any failure or problem in the operation of the HCAI System, including any communication problems between Providers and the HCAI System. IN NO EVENT WILL THE MEASURE OF DAMAGES PAYABLE BY EITHER PARTY INCLUDE, NOR WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR, ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, DAMAGES DUE TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION OR LOST PROFITS, SAVINGS, COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OR GOODWILL) ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION AND/OR THE OPERATION OF THE HCAI SYSTEM, REGARDLESS OF THE TYPE OF CLAIM, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OR FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY REMEDY CONTAINED HEREIN), NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, WHETHER OR NOT FORESEEABLE, AND REGARDLESS OF THE CAUSE OF SUCH DAMAGES EVEN IF THE PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.

(d) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by both parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of IBC, the Vendor, their agents, or employees, but only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized employee of IBC and the Vendor. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision(s) or of the same provision on another occasion. No employee, agent or representative of IBC is authorized to make any additional representation, warranty or covenant on behalf of IBC. (e) If either party employs lawyers to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable lawyers’ fees and costs.

Any purported assignment in violation of this Section shall be void. HCAI may assign this Agreement to any entity which acquires responsibility for the operation of the HCAI System.

For further certainty, the Purpose expressly excludes the development of or provision by Vendor of a gateway or any web-hosted service that consolidates the exchange of Claim Information between Providers and IBC or any web-based or application service provider based practice management system. (ii) Not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties, except as expressly provided in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) of this Agreement; (iii) Take reasonable security precautions, no less than those precautions it takes to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care, to keep confidential the Confidential Information; (iv) Refrain from disclosing, reproducing, summarizing and/or distributing Confidential Information except as expressly required for the Purpose, and only as otherwise provided hereunder; and (v) Refrain from reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling any software code disclosed by IBC to Vendor under the terms of this Agreement, except as expressly permitted by applicable law.

Vendor is solely responsible for ensuring that the Confidential Information is suitable for the Vendor’s needs. WITH RESPECT TO THE HCAI SYSTEM, THE SERVICES, OR ANY CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, IBC EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES, REPRESENTATIONS OR CONDITIONS, IMPLIED OR EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

(d) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by both parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of IBC, the Vendor, their agents, or employees, but only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized employee of IBC and the Vendor. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision(s) or of the same provision on another occasion. No employee, agent or representative of IBC is authorized to make any additional representation, warranty or covenant on behalf of IBC. (e) If either party employs lawyers to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable lawyers’ fees and costs.

(c) Exclusions. Confidential Information shall not include any information, other than Personal Information, however designated, that: (i) is or subsequently becomes publicly available without Vendor's breach of any obligation owed to IBC; (ii) became known to Vendor prior to IBC’s disclosure of such information to Vendor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement; (iii) became known to Vendor from a source other than IBC other than by the breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed to IBC; or (iv) is independently developed by Vendor without reliance upon any part of the information disclosed by IBC and/or relating to the HCAI System. 2. Obligations Regarding Confidential Information (a) Vendor shall: (i) Not use any Confidential Information except as required for the Purpose. For further certainty, the Purpose expressly excludes the development of or provision by Vendor of a gateway or any web-hosted service that consolidates the exchange of Claim Information between Providers and IBC or any web-based or application service provider based practice management system. (ii) Not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties, except as expressly provided in Sections 2(b) and 2(c) of this Agreement; (iii) Take reasonable security precautions, no less than those precautions it takes to protect its own confidential information, but no less than reasonable care, to keep confidential the Confidential Information; (iv) Refrain from disclosing, reproducing, summarizing and/or distributing Confidential Information except as expressly required for the Purpose, and only as otherwise provided hereunder; and (v) Refrain from reverse engineering, decompiling or disassembling any software code disclosed by IBC to Vendor under the terms of this Agreement, except as expressly permitted by applicable law.

(g) From time to time IBC may provide updates or changes to the Confidential Information. Upon receipt of any such update or change, Vendor shall promptly review such information and if necessary will use commercially reasonable efforts to issue an upgrade to its PMS System which will permit such PMS System to continue to communicate with the HCAI System.

NOW, THEREFORE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE MUTUAL PROMISES MADE HEREIN, ALONG WITH OTHER GOOD AND VALUABLE CONSIDERATION, THE RECEIPT AND SUFFICIENCY OF WHICH IS HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGED, THE PARTIES AGREE AS FOLLOWS: 1. Purpose. This Agreement is made for the purpose of [insert purpose] (the “Purpose”). 2. Confidential Information. a. “Confidential Information” shall mean all confidential, proprietary and trade secret information and materials, whether in written, oral, visually, electronic or another format (including, for example, demonstrations, models or proto-types, software, computer tapes, audio or video tapes or recordings, other media), and whether intentionally disclosed or observed inadvertently, includ-ing, but not limited to, the following: [insert specific description if possible]; research, product plans or other information regarding the Discloser’s prod-ucts or services and markets therefor, customer lists and customers, software, developments, inventions, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, finances or other business information; information of a confidential, sensitive, non-public, or personal nature, including information belonging to a third party or for which the Company owes a duty of confidentiality; any other Company proprietary or confidential information, including but not limited to any materials or any oral and written communications between the parties marked “confidential,” “proprietary” or similarly marked; or any materials which a reasonable person would recognize from the surrounding facts and circumstances to be proprietary or confidential. b. The Confidential Information that must be protected under this Agreement in-cludes (i) tangible information (such as written materials, models, and/or speci-mens) identified as being Confidential Information by an appropriate, conspicuous legend (such as “Confidential” or “Proprietary”); (ii) information in oral or visual form that is identified as being Confidential Information at the time of disclosure and confirmed in writing as Confidential Information within fourteen (14) days after the disclosure; or (iii) information that, given the nature of the information or the circumstances surrounding its disclosure, reasonably should be considered to be Confidential Information 3. Limitations. Confidential Information shall not include information that: a. is or becomes known publicly through no fault of the Recipient; or b. is learned by the Recipient from a third party not under an obligation of confi-dence to the Discloser and who has legitimate and legal possession of the informa-tion; or c. is already known to the Recipient before receipt from the Discloser as can be proven by written records; or d. is independently developed by employees or consultants of the Recipient who did not have access to any Confidential Information received; e. is free of confidentiality restrictions by written agreement of the Discloser. 4. Nondisclosure. Except as described elsewhere in this Agreement, the Recipient and those of its employees, officers, agents and affiliates permitted access hereunder will hold the Confidential Information in confidence and will take all necessary steps to pre-serve the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information. Without limiting the foregoing, the Recipient (1) will not disclose any Confidential Information to persons within its organization who do not have a need to know in order for the Recipient to engage in the Purpose; (2) will not disclose any Confidential Information to any person outside of its organization unless such person has a need to know in order for the Recipient to engage in the Purpose, and such person is bound by fiduci-ary or contractual duties of confidentiality to the Recipient that are at least as stringent as those contained in this Agreement; (3) will, if reasonably required, cause each of the Recipient’s employees, officers, agents, affiliates and attorneys who have access to the Confidential Information to sign a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement, for the benefit of the Discloser, containing terms at least as stringent as those contained in this Agreement, and, in any event, advise all of its employees, officers, agents, and affiliates of the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information; and (4) in all instances, exercise at least the same degree of care to maintain the secrecy of the Con-fidential Information as the Recipient exercises to protect its own most valuable trade secrets, but in no case less than reasonable care. 5. Exception. If the Recipient is required by order of any court or other government or regulatory agency to disclose any Confidential Information belonging to any Dis-closer, it shall provide all Parties with prompt written notice within 3 business days of any such requirement so that the Parties whose Confidential Information is at risk may seek a protective order or take other appropriate action. Upon the request and at the expense of the requesting Party, the other Parties will reasonably cooperate with the requesting Party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. Subject to the foregoing requirements, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement for a Recipi-ent to disclose Confidential Information if such disclosure is: (a) in response to a valid order of a court or governmental body of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; (b) otherwise required by law; or (c) necessary to establish the Discloser’s rights under this Agreement. 6. Term. This Agreement applies to any Confidential Information that may have been provided by either Party before or after the Effective Date, and will continue to govern all disclosures of Confidential Information, until terminated on thirty (30) days writ-ten notice by either Party to the other, except that each Party’s obligations relating to Confidential Information disclosed prior to termination will continue for so long as the Confidential Information remains confidential and proprietary. 7. No Transfer. All Confidential Information disclosed by any Party shall remain the property of the Discloser. This Agreement does not confer any license, right, interest, or title in or to Confidential Information other than as expressly set forth in this Agree-ment. Further, the Parties agree that the Recipient shall use any and all Confidential Information received from the Discloser solely for the Purpose and no other use may be made without the Discloser’s prior written consent, which shall be granted or with-held in its sole discretion. 8. Protection. Each Party agrees to protect Confidential Information provided to it by the Discloser with at least the same degree of care as it protects its own confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information and shall promptly advise the Discloser, in writing, of any misappropriation or misuse, of which it becomes aware, of Confidential Information by any person. 9. Personnel. Each Party may use the same personnel who receive Confidential Infor-mation under this Agreement on other projects similar to the Purpose so long as such Party does not breach the confidentiality of this Agreement. 10. Return of Information. Upon the written request of the Discloser, the Recipient shall either destroy or return to the Discloser any and all Confidential Information in the Recipient’s possession, except for one copy, which copy may be retained for archival purposes in a secure file. All copies of Confidential Information forwarded in error by any Discloser shall be destroyed in their entirety without the Recipient retaining an archival copy. 11. Warranty.

This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to this subject matter, is valid if signed within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, and supersedes all prior understandings whether written or oral.

As such, either Party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for the breach and/or the threatened breach of this Agreement in addition to any other remedies it may seek at law or equity, and the Recipient will not raise the defense of an adequate remedy at law. 16.

Each Party may use the same personnel who receive Confidential Infor-mation under this Agreement on other projects similar to the Purpose so long as such Party does not breach the confidentiality of this Agreement. 10. Return of Information. Upon the written request of the Discloser, the Recipient shall either destroy or return to the Discloser any and all Confidential Information in the Recipient’s possession, except for one copy, which copy may be retained for archival purposes in a secure file.

All Confidential Information of the Discloser shall remain the exclusive and sole property of such Party. This Agreement grants no rights of ownership, licenses, and/or any other intellectual property rights, nor does it create any agency, partnership, joint venture or any other relationship not expressly stated herein. 12. No Assignment. Neither Party shall transfer or assign any rights or delegate any ob-ligations herein, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to this subject matter, is valid if signed within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, and supersedes all prior understandings whether written or oral. Further modifications may be made if in writing and signed by authorized repre-sentatives of both Parties. 15. Injunctive Relief.

As such, either Party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for the breach and/or the threatened breach of this Agreement in addition to any other remedies it may seek at law or equity, and the Recipient will not raise the defense of an adequate remedy at law. 16.

If any Confidential Information is made available by accessing either Party’s Web site, this Agreement shall govern such Confidential Information without regard to any terms of use, “click wrap” agreement, or any similar agreement contained thereon.

Personnel. Each Party may use the same personnel who receive Confidential Infor-mation under this Agreement on other projects similar to the Purpose so long as such Party does not breach the confidentiality of this Agreement. 10.

Upon the request and at the expense of the requesting Party, the other Parties will reasonably cooperate with the requesting Party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. Subject to the foregoing requirements, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement for a Recipi-ent to disclose Confidential Information if such disclosure is: (a) in response to a valid order of a court or governmental body of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; (b) otherwise required by law; or (c) necessary to establish the Discloser’s rights under this Agreement. 6. Term. This Agreement applies to any Confidential Information that may have been provided by either Party before or after the Effective Date, and will continue to govern all disclosures of Confidential Information, until terminated on thirty (30) days writ-ten notice by either Party to the other, except that each Party’s obligations relating to Confidential Information disclosed prior to termination will continue for so long as the Confidential Information remains confidential and proprietary. 7. No Transfer. All Confidential Information disclosed by any Party shall remain the property of the Discloser. This Agreement does not confer any license, right, interest, or title in or to Confidential Information other than as expressly set forth in this Agree-ment. Further, the Parties agree that the Recipient shall use any and all Confidential Information received from the Discloser solely for the Purpose and no other use may be made without the Discloser’s prior written consent, which shall be granted or with-held in its sole discretion. 8. Protection. Each Party agrees to protect Confidential Information provided to it by the Discloser with at least the same degree of care as it protects its own confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information and shall promptly advise the Discloser, in writing, of any misappropriation or misuse, of which it becomes aware, of Confidential Information by any person. 9. Personnel. Each Party may use the same personnel who receive Confidential Infor-mation under this Agreement on other projects similar to the Purpose so long as such Party does not breach the confidentiality of this Agreement. 10. Return of Information. Upon the written request of the Discloser, the Recipient shall either destroy or return to the Discloser any and all Confidential Information in the Recipient’s possession, except for one copy, which copy may be retained for archival purposes in a secure file. All copies of Confidential Information forwarded in error by any Discloser shall be destroyed in their entirety without the Recipient retaining an archival copy. 11. Warranty. Each Party warrants that it has the right to disclose all of the Confidential Information it discloses, but does not otherwise make any representation as to the ac-curacy, suitability, or completeness of such Confidential Information. The Discloser will not be liable to the Recipient for any damage resulting from any use of the Confidential Information by the Recipient. All Confidential Information of the Discloser shall remain the exclusive and sole property of such Party. This Agreement grants no rights of ownership, licenses, and/or any other intellectual property rights, nor does it create any agency, partnership, joint venture or any other relationship not expressly stated herein. 12. No Assignment. Neither Party shall transfer or assign any rights or delegate any ob-ligations herein, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the above, either Party shall have the right to assign this Agreement and the obligations hereunder to any successor-in-interest by way of a merger, acquisi-tion, or sale of all or substantially all of that Party’s assets on condition that the assign-ee of this Agreement will assume all obligations and liability of the assignor under or in connection with this Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 13. Savings. If any provision or covenant of the Agreement should be held by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, either in whole or in part, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or covenants of this Agreement shall be unaffected. 14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to this subject matter, is valid if signed within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, and supersedes all prior understandings whether written or oral. Further modifications may be made if in writing and signed by authorized repre-sentatives of both Parties. 15. Injunctive Relief. Each Party agrees that the wrongful disclosure of Confidential In-formation may cause irreparable injury that is inadequately compensable by monetary damages. As such, either Party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for the breach and/or the threatened breach of this Agreement in addition to any other remedies it may seek at law or equity, and the Recipient will not raise the defense of an adequate remedy at law. 16. Indemnification. Each Party shall fully indemnify the other against any and all ac-tions, claims, liability, costs, damages, charges and expenses suffered or incurred in connection with or arising out of any breach by a Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, or by any unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information by a third party or by any employee of any Party to whom Confidential Information has been disclosed or who has been allowed access thereto. Each Party acknowledges and confirms that a breach of its obligations hereunder cannot be compensated adequately solely by an award of damages or indemnity or other pecuniary remedy, and that the non-breaching Party shall also be entitled in the event of any such breach to the rem-edies of injunction, specific performance, and/or other equitable relief in respect of any such breach. Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by either Party of any of its rights including rights to damages or indemnity or other pecuniary remedy. 17. Attorneys’ Fees. In any action to enforce, arising under, and/or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party as determined by the court or other body with jurisdic-tion by agreement of the Parties, shall be entitled to recover from the other Party, in addition to all other awards and remedies to which it is entitled, its reasonable attor-neys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such action. 18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [state] without regard to any conflict of law principles. 19. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, and constitutes the entire agreement of the Parties as to the Confidential Information being disclosed and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, whether oral or written, be-tween the parties. If any Confidential Information is made available by accessing either Party’s Web site, this Agreement shall govern such Confidential Information without regard to any terms of use, “click wrap” agreement, or any similar agreement contained thereon. NOW, THEREFORE, intending to be bound hereby, the Parties have executed or have caused this Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized officers.

Without limiting the foregoing, the Recipient (1) will not disclose any Confidential Information to persons within its organization who do not have a need to know in order for the Recipient to engage in the Purpose; (2) will not disclose any Confidential Information to any person outside of its organization unless such person has a need to know in order for the Recipient to engage in the Purpose, and such person is bound by fiduci-ary or contractual duties of confidentiality to the Recipient that are at least as stringent as those contained in this Agreement; (3) will, if reasonably required, cause each of the Recipient’s employees, officers, agents, affiliates and attorneys who have access to the Confidential Information to sign a confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement, for the benefit of the Discloser, containing terms at least as stringent as those contained in this Agreement, and, in any event, advise all of its employees, officers, agents, and affiliates of the confidential and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information; and (4) in all instances, exercise at least the same degree of care to maintain the secrecy of the Con-fidential Information as the Recipient exercises to protect its own most valuable trade secrets, but in no case less than reasonable care. 5. Exception. If the Recipient is required by order of any court or other government or regulatory agency to disclose any Confidential Information belonging to any Dis-closer, it shall provide all Parties with prompt written notice within 3 business days of any such requirement so that the Parties whose Confidential Information is at risk may seek a protective order or take other appropriate action. Upon the request and at the expense of the requesting Party, the other Parties will reasonably cooperate with the requesting Party to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information. Subject to the foregoing requirements, it shall not be a breach of this Agreement for a Recipi-ent to disclose Confidential Information if such disclosure is: (a) in response to a valid order of a court or governmental body of the United States or any political subdivision thereof; (b) otherwise required by law; or (c) necessary to establish the Discloser’s rights under this Agreement. 6. Term. This Agreement applies to any Confidential Information that may have been provided by either Party before or after the Effective Date, and will continue to govern all disclosures of Confidential Information, until terminated on thirty (30) days writ-ten notice by either Party to the other, except that each Party’s obligations relating to Confidential Information disclosed prior to termination will continue for so long as the Confidential Information remains confidential and proprietary. 7. No Transfer. All Confidential Information disclosed by any Party shall remain the property of the Discloser. This Agreement does not confer any license, right, interest, or title in or to Confidential Information other than as expressly set forth in this Agree-ment. Further, the Parties agree that the Recipient shall use any and all Confidential Information received from the Discloser solely for the Purpose and no other use may be made without the Discloser’s prior written consent, which shall be granted or with-held in its sole discretion. 8. Protection. Each Party agrees to protect Confidential Information provided to it by the Discloser with at least the same degree of care as it protects its own confidential, proprietary, and/or trade secret information and shall promptly advise the Discloser, in writing, of any misappropriation or misuse, of which it becomes aware, of Confidential Information by any person. 9. Personnel. Each Party may use the same personnel who receive Confidential Infor-mation under this Agreement on other projects similar to the Purpose so long as such Party does not breach the confidentiality of this Agreement. 10. Return of Information. Upon the written request of the Discloser, the Recipient shall either destroy or return to the Discloser any and all Confidential Information in the Recipient’s possession, except for one copy, which copy may be retained for archival purposes in a secure file. All copies of Confidential Information forwarded in error by any Discloser shall be destroyed in their entirety without the Recipient retaining an archival copy. 11. Warranty. Each Party warrants that it has the right to disclose all of the Confidential Information it discloses, but does not otherwise make any representation as to the ac-curacy, suitability, or completeness of such Confidential Information. The Discloser will not be liable to the Recipient for any damage resulting from any use of the Confidential Information by the Recipient. All Confidential Information of the Discloser shall remain the exclusive and sole property of such Party. This Agreement grants no rights of ownership, licenses, and/or any other intellectual property rights, nor does it create any agency, partnership, joint venture or any other relationship not expressly stated herein. 12. No Assignment. Neither Party shall transfer or assign any rights or delegate any ob-ligations herein, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the above, either Party shall have the right to assign this Agreement and the obligations hereunder to any successor-in-interest by way of a merger, acquisi-tion, or sale of all or substantially all of that Party’s assets on condition that the assign-ee of this Agreement will assume all obligations and liability of the assignor under or in connection with this Agreement and agrees to be bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 13. Savings. If any provision or covenant of the Agreement should be held by any court to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, either in whole or in part, the validity, legality or enforceability of the remaining provisions or covenants of this Agreement shall be unaffected. 14. Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to this subject matter, is valid if signed within forty-five (45) days after the Effective Date, and supersedes all prior understandings whether written or oral. Further modifications may be made if in writing and signed by authorized repre-sentatives of both Parties. 15. Injunctive Relief. Each Party agrees that the wrongful disclosure of Confidential In-formation may cause irreparable injury that is inadequately compensable by monetary damages. As such, either Party may seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction for the breach and/or the threatened breach of this Agreement in addition to any other remedies it may seek at law or equity, and the Recipient will not raise the defense of an adequate remedy at law. 16. Indemnification. Each Party shall fully indemnify the other against any and all ac-tions, claims, liability, costs, damages, charges and expenses suffered or incurred in connection with or arising out of any breach by a Party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, or by any unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential Information by a third party or by any employee of any Party to whom Confidential Information has been disclosed or who has been allowed access thereto. Each Party acknowledges and confirms that a breach of its obligations hereunder cannot be compensated adequately solely by an award of damages or indemnity or other pecuniary remedy, and that the non-breaching Party shall also be entitled in the event of any such breach to the rem-edies of injunction, specific performance, and/or other equitable relief in respect of any such breach. Nothing herein shall be construed as a waiver by either Party of any of its rights including rights to damages or indemnity or other pecuniary remedy. 17. Attorneys’ Fees. In any action to enforce, arising under, and/or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party as determined by the court or other body with jurisdic-tion by agreement of the Parties, shall be entitled to recover from the other Party, in addition to all other awards and remedies to which it is entitled, its reasonable attor-neys’ fees and costs incurred in connection with such action. 18. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with the laws of the State of [state] without regard to any conflict of law principles. 19. Counterparts.
