proprietary prior to or during the oral disclosure and a subsequent

proprietary or the like and sent to the party to whom the disclosure
was made within 15 days after the oral disclosure and (d) any other
information that, although not designated as such by the disclosing
party, is of a type and nature that a reasonable person would expect
that it be treated as confidential and/or proprietary.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, information shall not be considered
Confidential Information to the extent that such information: (w) can
be demonstrated to be already known to the receiving party free of
any restriction at the time it is obtained from the other party; (x)
is subsequently learned from an independent third party free of any
restriction and without breach of this Agreement; (y) becomes

(z) required to be disclosed by applicable law.

or entity any Confidential Information received from the other,
except as strictly necessary (a) in connection with its performance
under this Agreement, (b) in connection with any pending action
related to this Agreement, or (c) as required by a court of competent
jurisdiction. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section 11, the
parties may disclose Confidential Information to their respective
affiliates, accountants, attorneys, and other similar professional
advisors with a need to know such information as long as the entity
or person to which Confidential Information is disclosed is subject
to obligations of confidentiality with the same effect as those
specified in this Section 8. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Maponics
and any independent contractors which it uses to process the Licensed
Content may exchange information in connection with this Agreement

11. INJUNCTIVE
RELIEF
11.1. Licensee
acknowledges that any use of the Licensed Content by Licensee which
is not in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or any
violation of the restrictions imposed on its use of the Licensed
Content would cause irreparable harm to Maponics for which there
would be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Licensee agrees
that in the event of any such violation, Maponics shall be entitled
to immediate injunctive relief (temporary, preliminary or permanent,
as the case may be) against Licensee, its officers and
employees, in addition to such other rights and remedies to which it
may be entitled by law.
12. MISCELLANEOUS
12.1. If any provision
of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be
contrary to law, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so
as to best accomplish the objectives of the original provision to the
fullest extent allowed by law and the remaining provisions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
12.2. This Agreement
and any amendments may be executed in one or more counterparts, each
of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall
constitute one agreement.
12.3. Nothing in this
Agreement shall be construed to constitute or appoint either party as
the agent or representative of the other party for any purpose
whatsoever, or to grant to either party any right or authority to
assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express or
implied, for or on behalf of or in the name of the other party, or to
bind the other party in any way or manner whatsoever.
12.4. Neither
party shall be liable to the other party for any loss or damage
attributable to, and neither party shall be deemed to be in default
hereunder as a result of, any failure or delay in performance caused
by force majeure. For purposes of this Agreement, the term "force
majeure" shall include strike, lockout, earthquake, hurricane,
flood, fire or other acts of God, nature, war, rebellion, civil
disorders, acts of civil or military authorities (including the
denial or cancellation of any export or other necessary license),
unavailability of materials, carriers or communications facilities,
and any other causes beyond the reasonable control of the party whose
performance is affected. The party affected by an event constituting
“force majeure” shall use all reasonable efforts to
minimize the consequences of the same. Where force majeure remains
in effect for more than three months, or if at the beginning of a
force majeure condition it is clear that it will last longer than
three months, either party may terminate this Agreement by giving
notice to the other at least three months prior to such termination.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the provisions of
this Section 15.4 shall not apply to any failure or delay in timely
payment of any amounts due pursuant to this Agreement.
12.5. Neither this Agreement nor any interest herein may be assigned
by the Licensee without the prior written approval of the Licensor,
which approval may be withheld in Licensor’s sole discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Licensee may assign this Agreement in
its entirety to any purchaser of all or substantially all of
Licensee’s assets, or to any subsidiary or legal successor,
without the prior approval of the other party.
