In connection with our mutual interest in having discussions regarding doing business

Discloser’s executives and advisors. This information previously or hereafter furnished to
Recipient or its Representatives, together with analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or
other documents, prepared by Recipient or its Representatives which contain or otherwise
reflect such information or Recipient’s review of the affairs of, or interest in, Discloser is
hereafter referred to as the "Information". For the purposes of this Agreement, the term
"Representatives" means a party’s directors, officers, employees and those of its agents,
lawyers, accountants, consultants, bankers and financial advisors that have a need to know the
Information for the purpose of evaluating the Transaction. In consideration of Discloser
furnishing Recipient with the Information, Recipient agrees that:
-
Confidentiality
The Information will be kept confidential and will not, without Discloser’s prior written
consent, be disclosed by Recipient (except to Recipient’s Representatives on the terms
described below), or by its Representatives, in any manner whatever, in whole or in
part, and shall not be used by Recipient or its Representatives other than in connection
with Recipient’s evaluation of the Transaction, except and only to the extent permitted
in section 4. Moreover, Recipient agrees that it may reveal the Information only to those
of its Representatives who are informed by Recipient of the confidential nature of the
Information and who agree to be bound by and act in accordance with the terms and
conditions of this Agreement. Recipient will make and cause its Representatives to make
all necessary and appropriate efforts to safeguard the information from disclosure to
anyone other than as permitted hereby.
-
Non-disclosure
Without the prior written consent of Discloser, except and only to the extent permitted
in section 4, Recipient and its Representatives will not disclose to any person the fact
that the Information has been made available, that discussions or negotiations are
taking place or have taken place concerning a Transaction or any of the terms,
conditions or other facts with respect to any such Transaction, including the status
thereof; provided that following a public announcement in respect of a Transaction,
Recipient may disclose the fact that Information has been made available to it and the
fact that discussions or negotiations have taken place or are taking place in respect of a
Transaction but, in so doing, no disclosure of the Information or the substance of the
discussions or negotiations shall be made by Recipient. Except as may be otherwise
required by law, judicial or governmental order, discovery request, other legal process,
or applicable stock exchange requirements, any public notice to third parties and any
other public disclosure concerning a Transaction shall be made only with the prior
approval of Discloser. In respect of public disclosure required by any Securities
regulatory authorities, such disclosure shall be made in consultation with Discloser.

-
Required Disclosure
In the event that Recipient or anyone to whom Recipient transmits the Information
pursuant to this Agreement becomes legally compelled to disclose any of the
Information, Recipient will provide Discloser with prompt notice so that Discloser may
seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the
provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is
not obtained or Discloser waives compliance with the relevant provisions of this
Agreement, Recipient will furnish only that portion of the Information which it is advised
by counsel is legally required and will, at Discloser’s request, reasonably cooperate with
Discloser’s efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded to the Information.
