| 5. | CONFIDENTIALITY; NON-DISCLOSURE |
| 5.1. | Definition. “Confidential Information” means: (i) any non-public information of a Party, which is disclosed in writing and is conspicuously designated as “Confidential” at the time of disclosure, or which the receiving Party knows or has reason to know is confidential to the disclosing Party; (ii) all data or session keys obtained through use of the Licensed Software; and (iii) the specific terms of this Agreement. |
| 5.2. | Obligation. Each Party will not use the other Party’s Confidential Information, except as necessary for the performance of this Agreement, and will not disclose such Confidential Information to any third-party, except to those of its employees and contractors that need to know such Confidential Information for the performance of this Agreement and who are subject to a written confidentiality agreement at least as protective as the terms set forth herein. Each Party will use all reasonable efforts to maintain the confidentiality of all of the other Party’s Confidential Information in its possession or control, but in no event less than the efforts that it ordinarily uses with respect to its own confidential information of similar nature and importance. However, either Party may disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information: (i) pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, provided that the Party required to make such a disclosure gives reasonable notice to the other Party to enable it to contest such order or requirement; (ii) on a confidential basis to its legal or professional financial advisors; (iii) as required under applicable securities regulations; or (iv) on a confidential basis to present or future providers of venture capital and/or potential private investors in or acquirers of such Party. |

| 6. | GENERAL MATTERS. |
| 6.1. | Waiver, Amendment or Modification. The waiver, amendment or modification of any provision of this Agreement or any right, power or remedy hereunder shall not be effective unless made in writing and signed by both parties. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or remedy with respect to any of its rights hereunder shall operate as a waiver thereof. |
| 6.2. | Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the substantive laws of the state of Florida. Jurisdiction over, and venue for, all legal proceedings arising out of this Agreement shall be in the most proximate federal, state or local court, as applicable, of the defending party. This shall include an application that a judgment be entered pursuant to a final arbitration decision. The parties hereto hereby consent to such jurisdiction and venue. |
| 6.3. | Successors and Assigns. Neither party shall assign this Agreement in whole or part without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed provided, however, that notwithstanding the above, without additional cost either party may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations to any parent company or successor corporation resulting from a merger, sale, operation of law, reorganization or consolidation of such party or to an entity which acquires that party's business (in the case of the Licensee, that part of the business using the Licensed Software), or to an Affiliate, without the consent of the other party. “Affiliate” means, with respect to a party, any person or entity that controls, is controlled by, or is under common control with such party, where “control” means ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the outstanding voting securities; or in the case of an unincorporated affiliate, ownership and control of such other party sufficient for the primary party to unilaterally direct the activities and obligations undertaken as part of this Agreement. |
| 6.4. | Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions of the Agreement shall for any reason be held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall be unimpaired, and the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be replaced by a mutually acceptable provision, which, being valid, legal and enforceable, comes closest to the intention of the parties underlying the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be excessively broad as to duration, geographical scope, activity or subject, it is to be construed by limiting and reducing it, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable law. |
| 6.5. | Binding Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties, and their respective heirs, successors, and assigns. |
| 6.6. | Attorneys’ Fees. If either Licensor or Licensee employs attorneys to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party will be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other expenses. |
| 6.7. | Plural and Singular Usage. As used herein, the singular of any term includes the plural and the plural means the singular, whenever the context so requires. |
| 6.8. | Headings. The section headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience only and are not intended to affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement. |
| 6.9. | Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements, understandings, shrink wrap licenses, web based licenses and any other negotiations and discussions, whether electronic, oral or written, of the parties and/or subsidiaries of the parties with respect to the same subject matter hereof. There are no warranties, representations and/or agreements between the parties in connection with the subject matter hereof except as specifically set forth or referred to herein. |
