2.        The Trust and the Transfer Agent each agree to not disclose or use the other party’s Confidential Information other than in the course of ordinary business as necessary carry out the activities contemplated by this Agreement, or as otherwise agreed to by the parties in writing. Prior to any disclosure of Confidential Information as required by law, each of the Trust and the Transfer Agent will notify the other party of any actual or threatened legal compulsion of disclosure, and any actual legal obligation of disclosure, immediately upon becoming so obligated, and shall cooperate with the other party’s reasonable, lawful efforts to resist, limit or delay disclosure. Each party agrees to ensure, by agreement, instruction or otherwise, compliance with the same restrictions and conditions that apply throughout this Agreement by its employees, agents, subcontractors, consultants, and others who are permitted access to or use of Confidential Information.

3.        All such Confidential Information shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the disclosing party. No right, title or interest in the Confidential Information shall be conveyed by release of the Confidential Information, unless as otherwise agreed to in writing by the parties.

4.        Each party shall implement appropriate safeguards to ensure the security and protect against unauthorized access to or use of the other party’s Confidential Information. Each party shall implement and comply with all appropriate and reasonable administrative, physical, and technical safeguards as required by federal and state law that protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of Confidential Information that it creates, receives, maintains or transmits on behalf of the other party. Each party shall insure that any agent, subcontractor, consultant or any others who are permitted access to the other party’s Confidential Information agrees to implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards to protect it.

- 16 -

At the request of a party, the other party will provide documentation describing the safeguards it has implemented to protect the confidentiality, integrity, and availability of the other party’s Confidential Information. Upon request, a party may visit the other party’s site to inspect these safeguards and/or receive an audit report of these safeguards from said party.

5.        Each party agrees to return (or destroy, if specifically requested to do so by the other party) the Confidential Information or any part thereof upon request of the other party, or upon a party’s determination that it no longer has a need for such Confidential Information. Each party shall implement and follow secure disposal procedures in accordance with all applicable laws and regulations. A party may maintain additional limited copies of any Confidential Information for the limited purposes of backup and disaster recovery.

6.        A party agrees to notify the other party immediately if it becomes aware of any use of the Confidential Information that is not authorized by this Agreement. A party agrees to report to the other party immediately any unauthorized use or disclosure of the other party’s Confidential Information of which a party becomes aware or discovers. Notification to the other party shall include all information available to allow the other party to provide or delegate notification of breach consistent with state and federal law.

Each party further acknowledges and agrees that unauthorized disclosure, dissemination or use of the other party’s Confidential Information without the other party’s prior written consent, or that is not otherwise permitted under this contract, may constitute a serious violation of US federal and state law as well as a breach of this Agreement and may subject the other party to claims and damages, including attorney’s fees, for which the party hereby agrees to be responsible and will indemnify the other party with regard to a breach of the other party’s Confidential Information.
