6.1.1 Licensee and HNC each agree that neither will, at any time
during or after the term of this Agreement, disclose or disseminate to any other
person or entity, or use except as permitted by this Agreement, any information
regarding the business, data, processes, technology, software or products of the
other party obtained during the course of performance under this Agreement (the
"Confidential Information"). The Confidential Information of HNC will include,
but not be limited to, the Software, its Documentation and any related
materials. Each party will use its best efforts to ensure that any Confidential
Information obtained from the other party will be disclosed only to the
receiving party's employees and agents and only on a "need-to-know" basis, and
that such employees and agents will be bound by an obligation to maintain the
confidentiality of the Confidential Information substantially similar to the
obligations of HNC and Licensee under this Section. Nothing contained herein
will be construed to restrict or impair in any way the right of the parties to
disclose or communicate any information which (i) is at the time of its
disclosure hereunder generally available to the public; (ii) becomes generally
available to the public through no fault of the receiving party; (iii) is, prior
to its initial disclosure hereunder, in the possession of the receiving party as
evidenced in a documentary form; or (iv) is acquired by the receiving party from
any third party having a right to disclose it to the receiving party or not
known to the receiving party to be in breach of the obligation of
confidentiality.

by this Agreement be sought by way of legal mandate, subpoena, court order,
administrative decree, or by any lawful means while the same is in the
possession of the party in receipt of such information (the "Recipient") by or
anyone acting for, or at the direction of the Recipient, the Recipient shall
advise the party which disclosed such information (the "Discloser") of this
promptly and subsequently confirm its advice in writing. In addition it shall
provide the Discloser by the most expeditious means available with copies of any
papers seeking the disclosure of such information together with copies of all
material sought if the same exist and are under the Recipient's control. The
Recipient shall not disclose any information voluntarily in such circumstances
and shall, if requested by the Discloser, take appropriate action to safeguard
the confidentiality of such information including, but not limited to, at the
Discloser's expense, seeking a protective order of a court of competent
jurisdiction.
6.1.3 Both parties acknowledge that the Confidential Information
received from the Discloser under this Agreement contains valuable trade
secrets of said party, the disclosure of which would cause irreparable harm to
Discloser that could not be remedied by the payment of damages alone.
Accordingly, for any breach by Recipient of this Section, the Discloser will be
entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction (i) a temporary
restraining order; (ii) preliminary and permanent injunctive relief; and (iii)
an equitable accounting for all profits or benefits arising out of such breach.
6.2 Remedies; Survival. HNC and Licensee agree that in the event that
------------------
either party breaches any of the provisions contained in this Article, then,
notwithstanding the provisions of Section 11.10, the nonbreaching party shall be
authorized and entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction (i) a
temporary restraining order, (ii) preliminary and permanent injunctive relief;
and (iii) an equitable accounting for all profits or benefits arising out of
such breach. Such rights or remedies shall be cumulative and in addition to any
other rights or remedies to which the non-breaching party may be entitled. The
provisions of this Article 9 shall continue in effect following termination of
this Agreement and expiration or termination of the Term.
