ARTICLE V

CONFIDENTIALITY; NON-SOLICITATION; NON-EXCLUSIVITY

5.1)	Confidentiality.

Each Party shall protect the confidentiality of the other Party’s Confidential Information in the same manner that it protects its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no less than a reasonable manner. The Company shall only use the Client’s Confidential Information in connection with the performance of the Company’s obligations hereunder. The Client shall only use the Company’s Confidential Information in connection with the Client’s use and enjoyment of the Services. During the Term, the Receiving Party may: (i) disclose Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party only to its subcontractors, agents, representatives, advisors, employees, officers and directors and affiliates who have a need to know such information exclusively for the purpose of executing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement, provided that in no event shall the Company disclose any Confidential Information to any such person unless such person is subject to a confidentiality agreement with the Company that prohibits such person from disclosing any Confidentiality Information to any person not a party to, or otherwise bound by the terms of, this Agreement; or (ii) reproduce the Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party only as required to execute its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement.

In the event that either Party is required under applicable law to disclose any of the other Party’s Confidential Information, the Party subject to such requirement shall promptly notify the other Party of such requirement so that the other Party may challenge such requirement or seek an appropriate protective order or other similar protection. Unless advised by legal counsel that such a course of action would expose the Party subject to such requirement to civil or criminal liability, the Party subject to such requirement shall fully cooperate with the other Party in connection with the foregoing; provided that the other Party shall reimburse the Party subject to such requirement for all reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by it with respect to such cooperation.

Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, the Receiving Party shall not during the Term, and after expiration or earlier termination hereof: (i) disclose, in whole or in part, any Confidential Information received directly or indirectly from the Disclosing Party; or (ii) sell, rent, lease, transfer, encumber, pledge, reproduce, publish, transmit, translate, modify, reverse engineer, compile, disassemble or otherwise use such Confidential Information in whole or in part.

The Receiving Party acknowledges that: (i) the Disclosing Party possesses and will continue to possess Confidential Information that has been created, discovered or developed by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party, or otherwise provided to the Disclosing Party by third parties, which information has commercial value and is not in the public domain; (ii) unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information is likely to cause injury not readily measurable in monetary damages, and therefore irreparable; (iii) in the event of an unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled, without waiving any other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction; (iv) subject to the rights expressly granted to the Receiving Party in this Agreement, the Disclosing Party and its licensors retain all right, title and interest in and to the Confidential Information, including without limiting the generality of the foregoing, title to all Confidential Information regardless of whether provided by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party or created by the Receiving Party; and (v) any disclosure by the directors, officers, employees, and agents of the Receiving Party shall be deemed to be disclosure by the Receiving Party and the Receiving Party shall be liable for any such disclosure as if the Receiving Party had disclosed the Confidential Information.

All Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party shall be and shall remain the property of the Disclosing Party. Within five (5) days after being so requested by the Disclosing Party, except to the extent the Receiving Party is advised in writing by counsel such destruction is prohibited by law, it shall return or destroy all documents thereof furnished to it by the Disclosing Party and it shall also destroy all written material, memoranda, notes, copies, excerpts and other writings or recordings whatsoever prepared by it or its employees based upon, containing or otherwise reflecting any Confidential Information. Any destruction of materials shall be confirmed by the Receiving Party in writing; provided, however, that any party may retain (i) one copy of the Confidential Information that it deems necessary to comply with any obligations under all applicable laws, rules, regulations and (ii) any Confidential Information it believes cannot reasonably be destroyed (such as oral communications reflecting Confidential Information, firm electronic mail back-up records, back-up server tapes and any similar such automated record-keeping or other retention systems), which shall remain in perpetuity subject to the confidentiality terms of this Agreement. Any Confidential Information that is not returned or destroyed, including without limitation any oral Confidential Information shall remain in perpetuity subject to the confidentiality obligations set forth in this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, in this Article V or in Article XI, the Company shall have the right to mine, utilize, distribute, sell, share or market aggregated, amalgamated or compiled statistical information obtained or developed by the Company in the performance of the Services provided hereunder, so long as the Company does so in a manner that does not reveal or disclose any information which is identifiable with, or specific, traceable or attributable to, the Client or its investors. For purposes of clarification, the only specific information relating to or associated with the Client that the Company may disclose is the name of the Client and the Client’s assets under management.

5.2)	Non-Solicitation.

The Client shall neither hire nor solicit for employment any Company Employee with whom the Client has had contact during the Term without the prior written authorization of the Company. If the Client hires any such Company Employee, without such authorization, the Client shall pay Company an amount equal to such Company Employee’s total first year compensation at the Client.

The Company shall neither hire nor solicit for employment any Client Employee or Preferred Employee with whom the Company has had contact during the Term without the prior written authorization of the Client or Preferred, as applicable. If the Company hires any such Client Employee or Preferred Employee, without such authorization, the Company shall pay the Client or Preferred, as applicable, an amount equal to such Client Employee’s or Preferred Employee’s total first year compensation at the Company.

5.3)	Non-Exclusivity. Neither this Agreement nor the nature of the services provided to the Client shall preclude the Company from acting as administrator or for providing services of any nature to any other Person.

5.4)	Publicity.

Neither the Company nor the Client shall distribute any publicity, including press releases, regarding the nature of this Agreement without receiving the prior written approval of the other. Unless directed otherwise in writing, the Company shall be permitted to refer to the Client as a current or past client, provided that neither the Company nor any Affiliate or Company Employee shall be permitted to disclose or refer to the Client or Preferred as a current client until such time as the Implementation Plan has been completed in full as to Client and all investment funds managed by Preferred or its Affiliates, or Preferred has otherwise agreed to in writing.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Company acknowledges and agrees that the Client and Preferred are subject to various laws, rules and regulations. The Company agrees that the Client and Preferred may make disclosures required by such laws, rules and regulations as it deems appropriate under the circumstances.

In no event shall this Article VI be deemed to have failed of its essential purpose.

ARTICLE VII

WARRANTY DISCLAIMER
