WHEREAS, both Parties for their mutual benefit, anticipate the possible
need to disclose to and receive from the other Party, information associated
with the projects or program activities (hereinafter "Program" or "Programs"),
which the furnishing Party considers to be proprietary and which relates to
technical, programmatic or financial information originated by or otherwise
peculiarly within the knowledge of one Party, and currently protected against
unrestricted disclosure to others regarding technical, programmatic and
financial information (hereinafter "Data");
WHEREAS, the United States Government (hereinafter "Government") may
request information which is the subject hereof;
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the proprietary and confidential
nature of the Data being supplied by each Party to the other for the purpose
expressed hereinabove, the Parties do hereby mutually agree to maintain
confidential and not disclose to third Parties, any such Data received from the
other; except in accordance with this Agreement as set forth herein below:
1. MARKING OF INFORMATION.Any information exchanged by the Parties and entitled
to protection hereunder shall be identified as such by an appropriate stamp or
marking on each document exchanged designating that the information is
"Proprietary" and if oral disclosure of such protectable Data is made, such Data
shall be so identified at time of disclosure. Within thirty (30) days thereafter
a written notice with complete summaries of an oral disclosure desired to be
protected, appropriately stamped or marked, shall be delivered to the receiving
Party addressed as noted hereafter in this Agreement. Transmittal of documents
exchanged shall be evidenced by written notice from the disclosing to the
receiving Party.
2. PROTECTION AND USE.
2.1 The receiving Party shall hold each item of proprietary information so
received in confidence for a period of ten (10) years after the expiration of
this Agreement. During such period, the receiving Party shall use such
information only in connection with the purpose of this Agreement and shall make
such information available only to its employees having a "need to know" with
respect to said purposes. In connection therewith, the Parties shall advise each
such employee of the obligations under this Agreement. Except when authorized in
writing by the disclosing Party, the receiving Party shall not otherwise use or
disclose such information during the aforesaid period. Said proprietary
information may, with the other Party's consent be disclosed by the receiving

restrictive legend as applicable of FAR 15.609, Limited Use of Data, or FAR
52.215-1(e), Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Data, in effect on the
effective date of Agreement, or a successor provision substantially the same. No
Data provided under this Agreement shall be delivered under a contract or
otherwise made subject to a contract "rights in data" clause.
2.2 The standard of care for protecting such information, imposed on the Party
receiving such information, will be that degree of care the receiving Party uses
to prevent disclosure, publication or dissemination of its own proprietary
information, providing it uses a reasonable standard of care.
2.3 Neither Party shall be liable for the inadvertent or accidental disclosure
of proprietary information if such disclosure occurs despite the exercise of the
same degree of reasonable care as such Party normally takes to preserve its own
such Data or information.
2.4 Neither Party hereto shall, without the prior written consent of the other,
use in whole or in part proprietary information disclosed by the other to
manufacture or enable manufacture by third Parties of the disclosing Party's
products, products similar thereto, or products derived therefrom. The
information disclosed and all copies thereof shall, upon the expiration or
termination of this Agreement, be returned to the respective disclosing Party or

Party.
