4.3 Further Assurances: Each party shall execute and deliver all such further documents and instruments and do all acts and things as the other party may reasonably require to carry out the full intent and meaning of this Agreement.

4.4 Confidentiality Obligations: For purposes of this Agreement, “Confidential Information” means any information which is confidential in nature or that is treated as being confidential by a party or by any of its Affiliates and that is furnished or transferred by or on behalf of such party or any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Disclosing Party”) to the other party or to any of its Affiliates (collectively, the “Receiving Party”), whether such information is or has been conveyed verbally or in written or other tangible form, and whether such information is acquired directly or indirectly such as in the course of discussions or other investigations by the Receiving Party, including, but not limited to, trade secrets and technical, financial or business information, data, ideas, concepts or know-how that is considered and treated as being confidential by the Disclosing Party. Confidential Information disclosed in tangible or electronic form may be identified by Disclosing Party as confidential with conspicuous markings, or otherwise identified with a legend as being confidential, but in no event shall the absence of such a mark or legend preclude disclosed information which would be considered confidential by a party exercising reasonable business judgment from being treated as Confidential Information by Receiving Party. Receiving Party shall not use Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than to exercise or perform its rights or obligations under this Agreement. Receiving Party shall not copy or otherwise reproduce Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or disclose, disseminate or otherwise communicate, in whole or in part, Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any third party, without the prior written consent of Disclosing Party. Receiving Party further agrees that it shall safeguard Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information from disclosure and, at a minimum, use efforts commensurate with those Receiving Party employs for protecting the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information which it does not desire to disclose or disseminate, but in no event less than reasonable care. Immediately upon the demand of Disclosing Party, Receiving Party shall return Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information (and any and all permitted copies thereof) to Disclosing Party. Citylitics’ Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, its technical know-how used to provide the Services. Client’s Confidential Information shall include, without limitation, the context in which it uses Citylitics’ Service.

4.5 The Confidential Information of both parties shall remain confidential until such information is no longer confidential in accordance with Section 4.6 below.

(a) was available to the public through no fault of the Disclosing Party, or

(b) was already in its possession prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party, or

(c) it acquired from a third party without obligation of confidence.

The Receiving Party may comply with a court order compelling production of Confidential Information, but it must give the Disclosing Party reasonable prior notice and use reasonable efforts to obtain confidential protection for such Confidential Information. Detailed information or materials are not excluded from the obligations of Section 4.4 merely because that detailed information or those materials are embraced by more general information or materials excluded under (a), (b), or (c). Confidential Information shall not lose its confidential nature merely because it is mixed with non-confidential information.

Each party may withdraw its consent to the use of its name and logo by providing written notice to the other party at any time.
