Definition of Confidential Information The term “Confidential Information” shall mean all information that either party discloses (a “Disclosing Party”) to the other party (a “Receiving Party”), whether in writing, electronically, or orally and in any form (tangible or intangible), that is confidential, proprietary, or relates to clients or shareholders (each either existing or potential). Confidential Information includes, but is not limited to:
Return or Destruction of Confidential Information If an Interconnection Party provides any Confidential Information to another Interconnection Party in the course of an audit or inspection, the providing Interconnection Party may request the other party to return or destroy such Confidential Information after the termination of the audit period and the resolution of all matters relating to that audit. Each Interconnection Party shall make Reasonable Efforts to comply with any such requests for return or destruction within ten days of receiving the request and shall certify in writing to the other Interconnection Party that it has complied with such request.
Return of Confidential Information Subject to Section 4.2(e) of this Agreement, upon the request of a party, the other party shall return all Confidential Information to the other; provided, however, (i) each party shall be permitted to retain copies of the other party’s Confidential Information solely for archival, audit, disaster recovery, legal and/or regulatory purposes, and (ii) neither party will be required to search archived electronic back-up files of its computer systems for the other party’s Confidential Information in order to purge the other party’s Confidential Information from its archived files; provided further, that any Confidential Information so retained will (x) remain subject to the obligations and restrictions contained in this Agreement, (y) will be maintained in accordance with the retaining party’s document retention policies and procedures, and (z) the retaining party will not use the retained Confidential Information for any other purpose.
Use of Confidential Information 7.1 Each Party may be given access to Confidential Information from the other Party in order to perform its obligations under this Agreement. The Party that receives Confidential Information shall be known as “Receiving Party”. The Party that discloses Confidential Information shall be known as “Disclosing Party”. 7.2 The Receiving Party acknowledges that the Confidential Information is received on a confidential basis, and that the Disclosing Party shall remain the exclusive owner of its Confidential Information and of Intellectual Property rights contained therein.

In no event shall such efforts be less than the degree of care and discretion as the Receiving Party exercises in protecting its own valuable confidential information. Any contractors engaged by or prospective contractors to be engaged by the Receiving Party in connection with the performance of the Services shall be required to assume obligations of secrecy equal to or greater than the obligations that the Receiving Party has assumed in this Agreement with respect to the Confidential Information; (c) not, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, disclose or otherwise make available the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or any part thereof to any party other than those of its directors, officers, agents, servants, employees, professional advisors, contractors or prospective contractors who need to know the Confidential Information for the purposes set forth herein; (d) not copy or reproduce in any manner whatsoever the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or any part thereof without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, except where required for its own internal use in accordance with this Agreement; and (e) promptly, upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, return and confirm in writing the return of all originals, copies, reproductions and summaries of Confidential Information or, or at the option of the Disclosing Party, destroy and confirm in writing the destruction of the Confidential Information (this sub- clause being applicable only on the User). 7.4 Provided, however that nothing herein shall restrict in any manner the ability of either Party to use or disclose Confidential Information owned by it in any manner whatsoever, and the obligations of confidentiality herein shall apply to each Party only to the extent that the Confidential Information or portion thereof is not owned by that particular Party.
