Confidential Information  of InHub includes non-public information regarding features,  functionality and performance of the Application. Confidential  Information of Client (as between Client and InHub) includes  non-public Response Data. The Receiving Party agrees: (i) to  take reasonable precautions to protect such Confidential  Information, and (ii) not to use (except in performance of services, provision of the Application, or as otherwise  permitted herein) or divulge to any third person any such  Confidential Information. The Disclosing Party agrees that the  foregoing shall not apply with respect to any information after  five (5) years following the disclosure thereof or any  information that the Receiving Party can document (a) is or  becomes generally available to the public, or (b) was in its  possession or known by it prior to receipt from the Disclosing  Party, or (c) was rightfully disclosed to it without restriction by  a third party, or (d) was independently developed without use  of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party or (e) is  required to be disclosed by law, provided such disclosure is  made in accordance with Section 8.4 (Compelled Disclosures). 

8.2 Ownership; Feedback. As between Client  and InHub, Client shall own all right, title and interest in and to  the Response Data. InHub shall own and retain all right, title and interest in and to (a) the Application, all improvements,  enhancements or modifications thereto, (b) any software,  applications, inventions or other technology developed in  connection with the Application or Support Services, and (c) all  intellectual property rights related to any of the foregoing. 

Client may provide suggestions, comments or other feedback  (collectively, “Feedback”) to InHub with respect to the  Application and related services. Feedback is voluntary and  InHub is not required to hold it in confidence. InHub may use  Feedback for any purpose without obligation or restrictions of  

any kind. To the extent a license is required under Client’s  intellectual property rights to make use of the Feedback, Client  hereby grants InHub an irrevocable, non-exclusive, perpetual,  royalty-free license to use the Feedback in connection with  InHub’s business, including the enhancement of the  Application and related services. 

8.3 Usage Data. Notwithstanding anything in  this Agreement to the contrary, InHub shall have the right to  collect and analyze data and other information relating to the  provision, use and performance of various aspects of the  Application and related systems and technologies (including,  without limitation, information concerning Response Data and  data derived therefrom), and InHub will be free (during and  after the Term hereof) to (i) use such information and data to  improve and enhance the Application and for other  development, diagnostic and corrective purposes in  connection with the Application and other InHub offerings,  and (ii) disclose such data solely in aggregated or other de identified form in connection with its business. No rights or  licenses are granted except as expressly set forth herein. 

8.4 Compelled Disclosures.

The Receiving Party will  cooperate with and provide assistance to the Disclosing Party  regarding such measures. Notwithstanding any such  compelled disclosure by the Receiving Party, such compelled  disclosure will not otherwise affect the Receiving Party’s  obligations hereunder with respect to Confidential  Information so disclosed.

8.6 Non-Exclusive Equitable Remedy. Each Party  acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of  Confidential Information there can be no adequate remedy at  law for any breach of its obligations hereunder, that any such  breach or threatened breach may allow a Party or third parties 

4814-3363-6186.2 Page 2 of 6 

to unfairly compete with the other Party resulting in  irreparable harm to such Party, and therefore, that upon any  such breach or any threat thereof, each Party will be entitled  to appropriate equitable remedies, and may seek injunctive  relief from a court of competent jurisdiction without the  necessity of proving actual loss, in addition to whatever  remedies either of them might have at law or equity. Any  breach of this Section 8 (Confidentiality; Proprietary Rights)  will constitute a material breach of this Agreement and be  grounds for immediate termination of this Agreement in the exclusive discretion of the non-breaching Party.

Without limiting the generality of  the foregoing, InHub will take all reasonable measures to  secure and defend its location and equipment against  “hackers” and others who may seek, without authorization, to  modify or access InHub systems or the information found  therein.  

9.2 Security Breach. InHub shall notify Client of  any security, or suspected security breach of any Client Confidential Information within forty-eight (48) hours  following discovery or notification, if the information was, or is  reasonably believed to have been acquired by an unauthorized  person.
