<br /> 6. Data Security and Privacy. See Exhibit A.
<br /> 7. Confidentiality.
<br /> 7.1 Definitions. In connection with this Agreement, each party("Recipient") may receive Confidential Information
<br /> of the other party ("Discloser") or third parties to whom Discloser has a duty of confidentiality. "Confidential
<br /> Information"means non-public information in any form that is in the Recipient's possession regardless of the method
<br /> of acquisition that the Discloser designates as confidential to Recipient or should be reasonably known by the
<br /> Recipient to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and/or the circumstances
<br /> surrounding the disclosure. Confidential Information shall not include information that is: (i) in or becomes part of the
<br /> public domain (other than by disclosure by Recipient in violation of this Agreement); (ii)previously known to Recipient
<br /> without an obligation of confidentiality and demonstrable by the Recipient; (iii) independently developed by Recipient
<br /> without use of Discloser's Confidential Information; or (iv) rightfully obtained by Recipient from third parties without
<br /> an obligation of confidentiality.
<br /> 7.2 Restrictions on Use. Except as allowed in Section 7.3 (Exceptions), Recipient shall hold Discloser's
<br /> Confidential Information in strict confidence and shall not disclose any such Confidential Information to any third party,
<br /> other than to its employees,and contractors, including without limitation, counsel,accountants,and financial advisors
<br /> (collectively, "Representatives"), its Affiliates and their Representatives, subject to the other terms of this Agreement,
<br /> and in each case who need to know such information and who are bound by restrictions regarding disclosure and
<br /> use of such information comparable to and no less restrictive than those set forth herein. Recipient shall not use
<br /> Discloser's Confidential Information for any purpose other than as set forth in this Agreement. Recipient shall take
<br /> the same degree of care that it uses to protect its own confidential information of a similar nature and importance(but
<br /> in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure,
<br /> publication, or dissemination of the Discloser's Confidential Information. Within 72 hours of Recipient becoming
<br /> aware of the unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Discloser's Confidential Information
<br /> while in Recipient's control, Recipient shall provide Discloser with notice thereof.
<br /> 7.3 Exceptions. Recipient may disclose Discloser's Confidential Information: (i)to the extent required by applicable
<br /> law or regulation; (ii) pursuant to a subpoena or order of a court or regulatory, self-regulatory, or legislative body of
<br /> competent jurisdiction; (iii) in connection with any regulatory report, audit, or inquiry; or (iv)where requested by a
<br /> regulator with jurisdiction over Recipient. In the event of such a requirement or request, Recipient shall, to the extent
<br /> legally permitted: (a) give Discloser prompt written notice of such requirement or request prior to such disclosure;
<br /> and (b) at Discloser's cost, a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon the disclosure and request
<br /> confidential treatment or a protective order pertaining thereto prior to Recipient making such disclosure. If the
<br /> Recipient is legally required to disclose the Discloser's Confidential Information as part of: (x) a legal proceeding to
<br /> which the Discloser is a party but the Recipient is not; or(y)a government or regulatory investigation of the Discloser,
<br /> the Discloser shall pay all of the Recipient's reasonable and actual out of pocket legal fees and expenses (as
<br /> evidenced by reasonably detailed invoices) and will reimburse the Recipient for its reasonable costs and fees of
<br /> compiling and providing such Confidential Information, including, a reasonable hourly rate for time spent preparing
<br /> for, and participating in, depositions and other testimony.
<br /> 7.4 Destruction. Upon Discloser's written request, Recipient shall use commercially reasonable efforts to destroy
<br /> the Confidential Information and any copies or extracts thereof. However, Recipient, its Affiliates and their
<br /> Representatives may retain any Confidential Information that: (i)they are required to keep for compliance purposes
<br /> under a document retention policy or as required by applicable law, professional standards, a court, or regulatory
<br /> agency; or(ii) have been created electronically pursuant to automatic or ordinary course archiving, back-up, security,
<br /> or disaster recovery systems or procedures; provided, however, that any such retained information shall remain
