party to this Agreement ("Recipient") from the other party to this
Agreement ("Transmitter").

Information made available under this Agreement with the same degree of
care and procedures as Recipient applies to its own confidential or

returned or destroyed in accordance with written instructions upon the
earlier of a written request from the Transmitter or termination of this
Agreement. Either party may terminate this Agreement, at any time, by
providing written notice to the receiving party. Termination of this
Agreement shall not be construed as relieving the Recipient of its
obligations to safeguard, protect and dispose of the Proprietary
Information as set forth in this Agreement.
5. The Recipient's obligations to protect, safeguard and handle Proprietary
Information received hereunder shall not be binding if such Proprietary
Information (i) is in the public domain through no fault of the Recipient,
(ii) is known to the Recipient prior to disclosure hereunder, (iii) is
lawfully disclosed to Recipient by a third party. The Recipient's
obligations shall survive until the Proprietary Information has been

matter and shall be governed and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of

In consideration of mutual promises, covenants, and agreements herein
set forth, the Parties agree that the SELLER shall furnish and deliver to the

the consideration stated therein. The rights and obligations of the Parties to
this Agreement shall be subject to and governed by the terms of this Agreement
and other documents or specifications attached hereto or Referenced herein.
This Agreement shall not be varied in its terms or conditions by any

way be construed as part of this Subcontract or as an indication of the meaning
of the particular section.

the supplies/services as determined by or specified in individual Purchase
Orders issued to the SELLER by the BUYER. All purchase orders shall be issued
