business, product, marketing and financial information, plans and data. Each party acknowledges
and agrees that the other party's Products embodies substantial creative efforts and constitutes and
contains valuable trade secrets and confidential information of that party.
(b) Recipient shall hold all Proprietary Information in strict confidence and shall not disclose any
Proprietary Information to any third party, other than to its employees or agents who need to know

restrictive than those set forth herein. Recipient shall not use any Proprietary Information for the
benefit of itself or any third party or for any purpose other than the performance of Recipient's
obligations or exercise of Recipient's rights hereunder. Recipient shall take the same degree of care
that it uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information and materials of similar nature
and importance (but in no event less than reasonable care) to protect the confidentiality and avoid the
unauthorized use, disclosure, publication or dissemination of the Proprietary Information. Recipient
shall not make any copies of the Proprietary Information except as necessary to perform its
obligations or exercise its rights hereunder, unless otherwise approved in writing in advance by

than Discloser that does not owe a duty of confidentiality to Discloser with respect to such
Proprietary Information. In addition to the foregoing, Recipient may disclose Proprietary
Information to the extent (A) approved by Discloser or (B) Recipient is legally compelled to
disclose such Proprietary Information; provided that Recipient shall (1) promptly notify Discloser

any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure
and/or use of the Proprietary Information, (3) reproduce any confidentiality or proprietary
markings appearing on the Proprietary Information in the copies of such Proprietary Information,
(4) only furnish the portion of the Proprietary Information that it is required to disclose and (5) use
reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that the disclosed Proprietary Information shall
be treated confidentially. Notwithstanding any such compelled disclosure by the Recipient, such
compelled disclosure shall not otherwise affect the Recipient's obligations hereunder with respect
to Proprietary Information so disclosed.
(d) Recipient acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of Discloser's Proprietary
Information, there may be no adequate remedy at law to compensate Discloser for the breach of any
provision regarding License (including grant, requirements and restrictions), Proprietary Information or
Intellectual Property; that any such breach may result in irreparable harm to Discloser that would be
difficult to measure and that upon any such breach or threat thereof, Discloser shall be entitled to
seek injunctive and other appropriate equitable relief (without the necessity of proving actual
damages), in addition to whatever remedies it may have at law.

appropriate equitable relief (which shall be available without the necessity of proving actual
damages) or remedies it may have at law, if Genesys has terminated this Agreement pursuant to
this Section 13. (c), it shall be entitled to revoke the license granted.
(d) Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason at any time after the Initial Term upon
providing thirty (30) days Notice to the other party.
