WHEREAS AMDOCS (or any of its affiliated companies) is the owner and/or author of and/or has the rights to license certain valuable proprietary routines, computer programs, documentation, trade-secrets, systems, methodology, know-how, marketing and other commercial knowledge, techniques, specifications, plans and other proprietary information, including but not limited to material associated with and forming part of the proprietary software systems of AMDOCS, all of which are referred to in this Agreement as the “AMDOCS Proprietary Information”; and

 

WHEREAS COMPANY and AMDOCS wish to evaluate the possibility of cooperating in providing joint solution to telecommunication services providers, and thereafter the parties may, if agreed between them, enter into an agreement relating to such cooperation (the evaluation process and performance of such agreement, if any, are hereinafter referred to as the “Project’’’); and

 

WHEREAS each party may, in connection with the Project, disclose to the other party information which is part of its Proprietary Information and, therefore, the parties wish to set forth the manner in which the COMPANY Proprietary Information and the AMDOCS Proprietary Information will be treated during the Project;

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual agreements contained herein, the parties agree as follows:

   
1. The term “Proprietary Information”, whenever relating to COMPANY’S information, shall mean the COMPANY Proprietary Information and whenever relating to AMDOCS’ information, shall mean the AMDOCS Proprietary Information,
   
2. The receiving party agrees to hold in confidence the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information, and to refrain from copying, distributing, disseminating or otherwise disclosing such Proprietary Information to anyone, other than to those of its employees who have a need to know such Proprietary Information for purposes of the Project. AMDOCS’ employees are deemed to include employees of its affiliates in the Amdocs group of companies who will be involved in the Project.
   
3. The receiving party undertakes not to use the Proprietary Information of the disclosing party for any purposes other than the Project, and not to sell, grant, make available to, or otherwise allow the use of the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information by any third party, directly or indirectly, except as expressly permitted herein.

4. In addition, except as otherwise agreed by the parties in writing for purposes of the Project, each party undertakes not to use, directly or indirectly, the Proprietary Information of the other party or any derivatives thereof in any form (e.g., reports and analyses) for purposes of:
     
  (a) the sale or licensing of any software systems, or the provision of any services, to any third parties; and
     
  (b) the development of any software systems, for itself or any third parties.
     
5. Upon the termination and/or expiration of this Agreement for any reason and/or upon the conclusion of the Project and/or at the request of the disclosing party, the receiving party shall:
     
  (a) return to the disclosing party any document or other material in tangible form in its possession being part of the Proprietary information of the disclosing party, unless otherwise agreed upon in writing between the parties; and/or
     
  (b) destroy any document or other material in tangible form that contains Proprietary Information of the disclosing party and the receiving party; and
     
  (c) confirm such return or destruction in writing to the disclosing party.
     
6. Disclosure of the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information to the receiving party may only be made in writing or other tangible or electronic form that is marked as proprietary and/or confidential information of the disclosing party, or occur by demonstration of any product within the AMDOCS products.
   
7. Disclosure of the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information to the receiving party shall in no way serve to create, on the part of the receiving party, a license to use, or any proprietary right in, the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information or in any other proprietary product, trademark, copyright or other right of the disclosing party.
   
8. The confidentiality obligations of the receiving party regarding the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information shall not apply to such Proprietary Information which:
   
  (a) becomes public domain without fault on the part of the receiving party;
     
  (b) is lawfully obtained from a source other than the disclosing party, free of any obligation to keep it confidential;
     
  (c) is previously known to the receiving party without an obligation to keep it confidential, as can be substantiated by written records;
     
  (d) is expressly released in writing from such obligations by the party that owns or has the rights to such Proprietary Information; or
     
  (e) is required to be disclosed pursuant to law, regulation, judicial or administrative order, or request by a governmental or other entity authorized by law to make such request; provided, however, that the receiving party so required to disclose shall first notify the disclosing party to enable it to seek relief from such requirement, and render reasonable assistance requested by the disclosing party (at the disclosing party’s expense) in connection therewith.
- 2 -

   
9. Any use by the receiving party of the disclosing party’s Proprietary Information permitted under this Agreement is conditioned upon the receiving party first taking the safeguards and measures required to secure the confidentiality of such Proprietary Information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, each party shall draw to the attention of its employees, including those employees of the affiliates referred to in Section 2 above, who shall have access to the Proprietary Information of the other party, all the obligations concerning such Proprietary Information contained in this Agreement
   
10. This Agreement shall be in full force and effect for a period of seven (7) years commencing on the date first stated above. However, the provisions of Sections 3, 4 and 7 above shall survive the termination and/or expiration of this Agreement for any reason.
   
11. Each party acknowledges that its breach of this Agreement may cause the other party extensive and irreparable harm and damage, and agrees that the other party shall be entitled to injunctive relief to prevent use or disclosure of its Proprietary Information not authorized by this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy available to the other party under applicable law.
   
12. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and supersedes any prior or contemporaneous oral or written representation with regard to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement may not be modified except by a written instrument signed by both parties.
   
13. If, however, any provision of this Agreement is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not invalidate or render unenforceable the entire Agreement, but rather the entire Agreement shall be construed as if not containing the particular invalid or unenforceable provision or provisions, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall be construed and enforced accordingly. In addition, the parties agree to cooperate to replace the invalid or unenforceable provision(s) with valid and enforceable provision(s) which will achieve the same result (to the maximum legal extent) as the provision(s) determined to be invalid or unenforceable.
   
14. Neither this Agreement, nor the disclosure of Proprietary Information under this Agreement, nor the ongoing discussions and correspondence between the parties, shall constitute or imply a commitment or binding obligation between the parties to enter into any business arrangement. If, in the future, the parties elect to enter into a binding commitment regarding a business arrangement, such commitment will be explicitly stated in a separate written agreement executed by both parties, and the parties hereby affirm that they do not intend their discussions, correspondence, and other activities to be construed as forming a contract relating thereto or any other transaction between them without execution of such separate written agreement.
   
15. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of England, without giving effect to such laws’ provisions regarding conflicts of law.
 
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Agreement as of the date first stated above.
