<br />resolution of the dispute. If any nondisputed amounts are past due, Farragut may upon notice to
<br />Customer, and without waiving any rights or remedies, suspend performance under any or all
<br />Statements of Work until payments are current. Except to the extent set forth in a Statement of
<br />Work, all fees paid hereunder are nonrefundable.
<br />2.2. To the extent authorized and set forth in the applicable Statement of Work, Customer agrees to
<br />reimburse Farragut for reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred in the performance of
<br />Services, including but not limited to travel, lodging, meals, postage, freight, printing and long
<br />distance phone expenses. All travel-related expenses must be approved in advance by
<br />Customer.

<br />a result of or otherwise in connection with this Agreement, including but not limited to state and
<br />local privilege, excise, sales, and use taxes and any taxes or amounts in lieu thereof paid or
<br />payable by Farragut, but excluding taxes based upon the net income of Farragut. This provision

<br />Farragut with a valid tax exemption certificate authorized by the appropriate taxing authority.
<br />3. Confidentiality and Proprietary Rights
<br />3.1. “Confidential Information” means any information or data (including without limitation any formula,
<br />pattern, compilation, program, device, method, technique, or process) that is disclosed by one
<br />party (a disclosing party) to the other party (a receiving party) pursuant to this Agreement that is
<br />identified in writing as confidential or that would reasonably be recognized as confidential.
<br />Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) is or becomes publicly known or
<br />available without breach of this Agreement; (b) is received by a receiving party from a third party
<br />without breach of any obligation of confidentiality; (c) was previously known by the receiving party
<br />as shown by its written records; or (d) was independently developed by the receiving party as
<br />shown by its written records.
<br />3.2. A receiving party agrees: (a) to hold the disclosing party’s Confidential Information in strict
<br />confidence; and (b) except as expressly authorized by this Agreement, not to, directly or indirectly,
<br />use, disclose, copy, transfer or allow access to the Confidential Information. Notwithstanding the
<br />foregoing, a receiving party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party as
<br />required by law or court order; in such event, such party shall use its best efforts to inform the
<br />other party prior to any such required disclosure and the other party may seek to obtain a
<br />protective order or other protections against the disclosure of its Confidential Information.
<br />3.3. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the receiving party will return to the
<br />disclosing party all the Confidential Information delivered or disclosed to the receiving party,
<br />together with all copies in existence thereof at any time made by the receiving party, and will
<br />delete all electronic copies of such Confidential Information.
<br />3.4. In the event that Farragut develops any custom software, scripts, documentation or other
<br />materials under this Agreement (“Work Product”), unless otherwise set forth in the Statement of
<br />Work, Farragut will be the sole owner of all intellectual property rights in such Work Product. In
<br />addition, Farragut shall retain all intellectual property rights in all methodologies, algorithms,
<br />software, documentation, know-how, techniques and other materials which have been previously
<br />developed or acquired by Farragut and that are used in connection with the Services. Upon
<br />receipt in full of all payments due under the applicable Statement of Work, Farragut will grant
<br />Customer a non-exclusive, perpetual, royalty-free license to use, copy and modify the Work
<br />Product solely in connection with Customer’s internal operations. Customer agrees not to sell,
<br />distribute or otherwise disclose the Work Product to any third party, without Farragut’s prior written
<br />consent; provided that Customer may disclose and transfer its license to the Work Product to an
<br />affiliated organization or to the acquirer of all or substantially all of Customer’s business. Through
<br />its relationship with the North Carolina Association of County Commissioners (“NCACC”),
<br />Farragut intends to make the Work Product from Statement of Work #1 that is related directly to
<br />NCPTS available for licensing by NCACC to other North Carolina counties.
