of the Confidential Information and are making it available only upon the terms
and conditions set forth below and they hereby agree:
(a) Not to use any portion of the Confidential Information for any purpose,
except pursuant to the rights and obligations set forth in this Agreement;
and
(b) Not to disclose any portion of the Confidential Information to any

7.2 Exceptions. If either of the parties are requested or required (by oral
questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena,
civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential
Information of the other, the party which is subject to such request will
provide the other party with prompt notice of such request(s) so that such other
party may seek an appropriate protective order and/or waive compliance with the
provisions of this letter agreement. If, in the absence of a protective order or
the receipt of a waiver hereunder a party is nonetheless, in the opinion of its
counsel, compelled to disclose the Confidential Information of the other party
to any tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or
penalty, that party may disclose such information to such tribunal without
liability hereunder.
7.3 Remedies. As money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach
of this paragraph of this letter agreement the parties hereto shall be entitled
to specific performance as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedy shall not
be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for any such breach of this letter
agreement but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or
equity.
8 MISCELLANEOUS
8.1 Title. It is expressly understood and agreed that, as between Intercept and
Phoenix, all right, title, and interest in and to the Program and Documentation
(including any Enhancements) and any other material furnished to Phoenix under
this Agreement vests solely and exclusively in Intercept, and Phoenix shall
neither derive nor assert any title or interest in or to such materials except
for the rights of use or licenses granted under this Agreement. Phoenix shall
own all changes in the Program and Documentation made by or at the direction of
Phoenix and shall own the Derivative Works to the extent they are different from
the Program as delivered.
8.2 Status. Nothing herein shall be construed to create a partnership, joint
venture, or agency relationship between the parties hereto.
8.3 No Conflict of Interest. Phoenix and Intercept represent and warrant that
they have full power and authority to undertake the obligations set forth in
this Agreement and that they have not entered into any other agreement that
would render them incapable of satisfactorily performing their obligations
hereunder, or that would place them in a position of conflict of interest or be
inconsistent or in conflict with their obligations hereunder.
8.4 Compliance with Law. Phoenix agrees that it shall comply with all applicable
laws and regulations of governmental bodies or agencies in its performance under
this Agreement.
8.5 No Assignment. Phoenix represents that it is acting on its own behalf and is

that it may not assign its rights or obligations under this Agreement without

rights to a successor to substantially all of its business or assets or any
owner of 30% or more of its equity or any of its subsidiaries.

or taking other action hereunder, be deemed to have waived any breach by the
other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement. Further, the waiver by
either party of a particular breach of this Agreement by the other shall not be
construed or constitute a continuing waiver of such breach or of other breaches
of the same or other provisions of this Agreement.
8.8 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be in default if failure to perform any
obligation hereunder is caused solely by supervening conditions beyond that
party's control, including acts of God, civil commotion, strikes, labor
disputes, and governmental demands or requirements.
8.9 Scope of Agreement; Amendment. The parties hereto acknowledge that each has
read this Agreement, understands it, and agrees to be bound by its terms. The
parties further agree that this Agreement is the complete and exclusive
