ARTICLE 10
PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
10.1 Use and Non-disclosure. In fulfilling the purposes of this IPAL Agreement, as well as the future business relationship of the Parties, each Party will take reasonable care to safeguard the confidential nature of, and to protect from the unauthorized disclosure or use, of any proprietary information received from the other Party, including, but not limited to: product information, product costs, units manufactured or sold, information pertaining to dispute settlements under this IPAL Agreement, and technical and business information relating to the Assigned Software, Assigned Patents and Assigned Trademarks and Tradenames (hereinafter referred to as Proprietary Information). Subject to the provisions of Section 11.2, the Parties will hold in confidence, and will not disclose or communicate or permit to be disclosed or communicated to any person, any Proprietary Information of the other Party. Proprietary Information, however, does not include any information that either Party can demonstrate that: (a) is now or subsequently becomes generally available or known to the public through no fault of the other Party; (b) was known or in the possession of the other Party prior to disclosure thereof to the receiving Party by disclosing Party; (c) is or was independently developed by a Party without the use of any Proprietary Information; (d) the receiving Party rightfully obtained the Proprietary Information from a third party who has the right to transfer or disclose the information; or (e) the receiving Party is required to disclose or produce pursuant to an order of a court of competent jurisdiction; provided the receiving Party notifies the disclosing Party of the requirement so as to give the disclosing Party an opportunity
-10-
to challenge the court order time permitting and without penalty of the receiving Party. In protecting Proprietary Information, the receiving Party shall exercise the same degree of care to prevent the disclosure or communication of the Proprietary Information to other persons that it uses to protect its own proprietary information; however, in no case will that degree of care be less than reasonable care. The foregoing shall not supersede any other confidential obligations between the Parties.
10.2 Proprietary Information Exceptions. Either Party may disclose Proprietary Information of the other to such Partys employees, customers, agents, suppliers, and subcontractors to the extent that each such disclosure is reasonably necessary for purposes of: manufacturing, selling, installing, repairing, and/or servicing any product made or used in accordance with any intellectual property assigned or licensed hereunder; or procuring goods and services required in connection therewith; provided that the disclosing Partys employees, customers, agents, suppliers, and subcontractors are bound to the same terms and conditions regarding the protection of the Proprietary Information as bind the Parties hereto.

Except with respect to trademarks, all rights and licenses granted by Marlborough under or pursuant to this License Agreement are, for all purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code (Title 11), licenses of rights to intellectual property as defined in Title 11.
