No consideration or amount paid hereunder is intended to be, nor shall it be construed to be, an inducement or payment for referral of patients between any of the Parties.
2. Confidentiality.
a. “Confidential Information” means information disclosed by either Party (as applicable, the “Disclosing Party”) that such Disclosing Party owns or controls and maintains as confidential and discloses to the other Party (as applicable, the “Receiving Party”) under this Agreement, including without limitation, any such information regarding finances, commercial strategies, products or services, research, and intellectual property that: (i) if disclosed in tangible form, is marked as “confidential” upon disclosure or (ii) if disclosed in intangible form, is summarized in a writing marked “confidential” and provided to Receiving Party within thirty (30) days of the intangible disclosure; provided, however, that failure to so xxxx or summarize Confidential Information shall not compromise or alter its confidential status if a reasonable person would recognize, based upon its content and/or the context of its disclosure, that such disclosure was intended as confidential. For clarity, Confidential Information includes the foregoing information of a third party in possession of a Disclosing Party, that such Disclosing Party has a legal right to disclose to the Receiving Party under terms of confidentiality as set forth herein.
b. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include information that the Receiving Party demonstrates by written or electronic records: (i) was already in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party; (ii) is or later becomes a matter of public knowledge through no act or omission of the Receiving Party; (iii) is disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party who had an apparent bona fide legal right to so disclose and who does so without imposing a confidential obligation with respect thereto; or (iv) is developed independently by the Receiving Party without use of, reference to or reliance on the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
c. Restrictions; Maintenance of Confidentiality. Each Receiving Party shall use each Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information solely for the purposes of performing its obligations under this Agreement. Each Receiving Party shall protect the confidentiality of such Confidential Information and guard it from disclosure to third parties with at least the same degree of care it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care, and shall only disclose such Confidential Information to its directors, trustees, officers, employees, faculty, researchers, consultants, and advisors who are obligated

to maintain the confidential nature of such Confidential Information and who need to know such Confidential Information for the performance of the Party’s obligations under this Agreement. Where permitted, third parties (i.e., those who are not employees of such Party) to whom Receiving Party discloses the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, shall only be permitted access to such Confidential Information if Receiving Party has entered into a legally binding confidentiality agreement with such third parties that is at least as protective of such Confidential Information as this Agreement. For clarity, Receiving Party shall be fully responsible to Disclosing Party for compliance by such third parties with such obligations. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall also be permitted to disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by applicable law, court order, or other governmental authority with jurisdiction provided that the Receiving Party promptly provides the Disclosing Party, to the extent legally permissible, with written notice of such requirement and cooperates, at the Disclosing Party’s written request and expense, with the Disclosing Party’s legal efforts to prevent or limit the scope of such required disclosure.
d. Return; Remedies. Upon termination of this Agreement or otherwise upon the Disclosing Party’s request, the Receiving Party shall, at the Disclosing Party’s option, destroy or return to the Disclosing Party the Confidential Information and all copies of all or any portion thereof in any tangible or intangible form whatsoever, unless the Receiving Party is expressly authorized by the Disclosing Party to continue to use such Confidential Information. For a period of five (5) years from receipt, the Receiving Party shall treat Confidential Information received in connection with this Agreement, provided that the Receiving Party will continue to comply with the terms of this Section for any retained Confidential Information. Each Party acknowledges that its disclosure of any of the Confidential Information without the Disclosing Party’s prior written consent except as permitted hereunder would cause continuing, substantial and irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party and that the Disclosing Party’s remedies at law for such disclosure shall not be adequate. Accordingly, the Parties agree that the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek immediate injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of the foregoing, and that such rights shall be in addition to, and not in limitation of, any other rights or remedies to which the Disclosing Party may be entitled at law or equity.
