3. Immediately upon the written request by the Disclosing Party at any time, the Receiving Party will
return to the Disclosing Party within five (5) days from time of request all Confidential Information

extracts thereof, save that where such Confidential Information is a form incapable of return or has

or implied, is or will be made, and no responsibility or liability is or will be accepted by the

the Receiving Party or its advisers; it is responsible for making its own evaluation of such
Confidential Information.

C. TIME PERIOD

The Receiving Party’s duty to hold the Confidential Information in confidence shall remain in effect until
such information no longer qualifies as a trade secret or written notice is given releasing such Party from
this Agreement.

The Parties agree that there is no such statement in this Agreement that suggests any Party is a partner,
or that the Project is a joint venture. Hence, neither Party shall be considered an agent or representative
of the other in any respect.

Information, any breach of this Agreement would cause irreparable harm for which damages and or
equitable relief may be sought. The Disclosing Party shall be entitled to all remedies available at law.

The failure of either party to enforce its rights under this Agreement at any time for any period shall not
be construed as a waiver of such rights.

termination or invalidity shall be settled through negotiation or mediation within sixty (60) calendar
days from the receipt of a notice by the other Party from the injured Party before resorting to any legal
