HANDLING OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION The Company agrees to undertake the following in relation to IHiS’ Confidential Information: to maintain the same in confidence and to use it only for the Purpose and for no other purpose; not to make any commercial use thereof; not to use the same for the benefit of itself or of any third party other than pursuant to a further agreement with IHiS; not to use the same for the purpose of guiding or conducting a search of any information, materials or sources, whether or not available to the public, for any purpose whatsoever, including without limitation, for the purpose of demonstrating that any information falls within one of the exceptions in Clause 1.1(b); not to copy, reproduce, reverse engineer or reduce to writing any part thereof except as may be reasonably necessary for the Purpose and that any copies, reproductions or reductions to writing so made shall be the property of IHiS; not to disclose the Confidential Information whether to its employees or to third parties except in confidence to such of its Representatives who have been informed of the confidential nature thereof and who need to know the same for the Purpose and that: such Representatives are contractually obliged (whether by their contracts of employment or service, or otherwise) not to disclose the same or to use the same otherwise than for the Purpose; and the Company shall enforce such obligations at its expense, and to such extent as may be required by IHiS, in the event of a breach thereof that relates to IHiS' Confidential Information; to ensure the compliance to this NDA (including sub-clauses (a) to (f) above) on the part of its Representatives to whom Confidential Information is disclosed; and to apply to the Confidential Information no lesser security measures and degree of care than those which the Company applies to its own confidential or proprietary information of similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable care, and which the Company warrants as being adequate protection of such information from unauthorised disclosure, copying or use. The Company, as the principal party, shall be responsible and held liable for any breach of this NDA by any of its Representatives. If the Company is uncertain as to whether any information is Confidential Information, the Company shall treat the information as if it was Confidential Information, unless otherwise agreed by IHiS in writing. The Company shall immediately notify IHiS of any unauthorised disclosure or use of the Confidential Information of which the Company becomes aware and will take all steps which IHiS may require in relation to such unauthorised disclosure or use, or to prevent further unauthorised disclosure or use. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company shall be entitled to make any disclosure of the Confidential Information as required by law, but shall give IHiS not less than TWO (2) business days' notice of such disclosure and shall consult with IHiS prior to such disclosure with a view to avoiding such disclosure, if legally possible.
Treatment of Confidential Information (a) The Parties shall not, and shall cause all other Persons providing Services or having access to information of the other Party that is known to such Party as confidential or proprietary (the “Confidential Information”) not to, disclose to any other Person or use, except for purposes of this Agreement, any Confidential Information of the other Party; provided, however, that the Confidential Information may be used by such Party to the extent that such Confidential Information has been (i) in the public domain through no fault of such Party or any member of such Group or any of their respective Representatives or (ii) later lawfully acquired from other sources by such Party (or any member of such Party’s Group), which sources are not themselves bound by a confidentiality obligation; provided, further, that each Party may disclose Confidential Information of the other Party, to the extent not prohibited by applicable Law: (A) to its Representatives on a need-to-know basis in connection with the performance of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement; (B) in any report, statement, testimony or other submission required to be made to any Governmental Authority having jurisdiction over the disclosing Party; or (C) in order to comply with applicable Law, or in response to any summons, subpoena or other legal process or formal or informal investigative demand issued to the disclosing Party in the course of any litigation, investigation or administrative proceeding. In the event that a Party becomes legally compelled (based on advice of counsel) by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar judicial or administrative process to disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party, such disclosing Party shall provide the other Party with prompt prior written notice of such requirement, and, to the extent reasonably practicable, cooperate with the other Party (at such other Party’s expense) to obtain a protective order or similar remedy to cause such Confidential Information not to be disclosed, including interposing all available objections thereto, such as objections based on settlement privilege. In the event that such protective order or other similar remedy is not obtained, the disclosing Party shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that has been legally compelled, and shall exercise its commercially reasonable efforts (at such other Party’s expense) to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.

Once Contractor has received written confirmation from City that Confidential Information has been successfully transferred to City, Contractor shall within ten (10) business days purge all Confidential Information from its servers, any hosted environment Contractor has used in performance of this Agreement, work stations that were used to process the data or for production of the data, and any other work files stored by Contractor in whatever medium. Contractor shall provide City with written certification that such purge occurred within five (5) business days of the purge.
