(a) Confidentiality.
---------------
"Confidential Information" of a party shall mean all
confidential or proprietary information, including trade
secrets, expressions, ideas and business practices of such
party in any medium, as well as the terms of this Agreement.
For purposes of this
Agreement and unless otherwise indicated, reference to each
party shall include their affiliates, agents and contractors.
All Confidential Information relating to a party shall be held
in confidence by the other party to the same extent and in at
least the same manner as such party protects its own
confidential or proprietary information, but in no case to a
lesser extent than reasonable care under the circumstances
requires. No party shall disclose, publish, release, transfer
or otherwise make available Confidential Information of any
other party in any form to, or for the use or benefit of, any
person or entity without the other parties' consent. Each
party shall, however, be permitted to disclose relevant
aspects of the other parties' Confidential Information to its
officers, agents, subcontractors and employees to the extent
that such disclosure is reasonably necessary for the
performance of its duties and obligations under this
Agreement; provided, however, that such party shall take all
reasonable measures to ensure that Confidential Information of
the other party or parties is not disclosed or duplicated in
contravention of the provisions of this Agreement by such
officers, agents, subcontractors and employees.
The obligations herein shall not restrict any disclosure by
any party pursuant to any applicable state or federal laws, or
by order of any court or government agency (provided that the
disclosing party shall give prompt notice to the
non-disclosing party or parties of such order) and shall not
apply with respect to Confidential Information which (1) is
developed by the other party independently of the Confidential
Information of the disclosing party without violating the
disclosing party's proprietary rights, (2) is or becomes
publicly known (other than through unauthorized disclosure),
(3) is disclosed by the owner of such information to a third
party free of any obligation of confidentiality, (4) is
already known by such party without an obligation of
confidentiality other than pursuant to this Agreement or any
confidentiality agreements entered into before the effective
date of this Agreement, or (5) is rightfully received by a
party free of any obligation of confidentiality.
(b) Protection of Nonpublic Personal Information.
--------------------------------------------
(1) Definition of Nonpublic Personal Information.
--------------------------------------------
Nonpublic personal information of customers or
consumers ("NPI") includes, but is not limited to,

health information. NPI includes information on each
party's forms or in a database of any kind, information
created by each party, information collected by or on
behalf of a party, and personally identifiable

same NPI that may be subject to different privacy
policies and procedures according to the notices
provided to the customer or consumer by the respective
parties to the Agreement.
(2) Disclosure and Use of NPI.
-------------------------
All NPI that any party obtains as a result of this relationship
shall not be used, disclosed, reused or redisclosed to any third
party, except to carry out the purposes for which the information
was disclosed. All NPI of the other parties shall be held in
confidence to the same extent and in at least the same manner as
the holding party protects its own NPI, but in no case in a
lesser manner than a reasonable degree of care under the
circumstances.
Each party shall be permitted to disclose relevant aspects of the
other parties' NPI to its officers, agents, subcontractors and
employees only to the extent that such disclosure is reasonably
necessary for the performance of its duties and obligations under
the Agreement; provided that such party shall take all reasonable
measures to ensure that the NPI of the other party or parties is
not disclosed or reproduced in contravention of the provisions of
this Agreement by such party's officers, agents, subcontractors
and employees.
The obligations of this Agreement shall not restrict any
disclosure by any party pursuant to any applicable state or
federal laws, or by request or order of any court or government
agency (provided that the disclosing party shall seek appropriate
protections and provide prompt notice to the non-disclosing party
or parties in order that any other party will have a reasonable
opportunity to oppose the disclosure, request or order).
The obligations of this Agreement shall not apply to information
which, without breach of obligation of confidentiality: (1) is
independently developed by a party; (2) is or becomes publicly
known; (3) is already known by such party as evidenced by the
written records of such party; or (4) is obtained from an
independent source.
(3) Security of NPI.
---------------
The parties further agree to establish and maintain policies and
procedures designed to ensure the confidentiality and security of
NPI. This shall include procedures to protect against any
anticipated threats or hazards to the security or integrity of
the information and unauthorized access to or use of the
information. For reasonable cause, each party may audit the use
or disclosure of NPI upon reasonable written notice to the other
party. Each party will promptly advise the other parties of any
breach of obligations of this Agreement with respect to NPI of
which the breaching party is aware.
(4) Other Provisions.
----------------
The parties agree that they shall abide by the provisions of the
Xxxxx-Xxxxx-Xxxxxx Act and other applicable privacy laws and
regulations and that the
obligations described herein shall continue after termination of
this Agreement and/or the Agreement. Any provision in the
Agreement or any agreement that is inconsistent with the
obligations herein shall be void.

in the conduct of its insurance sales, Selling Group Member
represents that Associated Agency identified herein is acting on
behalf of all such insurance agencies.
