five (5) years from the date of disclosure of the applicable Confidential

confidence and avoid the disclosure or release thereof to any other person or
entity by using the same degree of care as it uses to avoid unauthorized use,
disclosure, or dissemination of its own Confidential Information of a similar
nature, but not less than reasonable care, and (ii) not use the Confidential
Information for any purpose whatsoever except as expressly contemplated under
this Agreement; provided that, to the extent the Confidential Information
constitutes a trade secret under law, Customer agrees to protect such
information for so long as it qualifies as a trade secret under applicable law.

employees and contractors having a need to know such Confidential Information
and shall take all reasonable precautions to ensure that such employees and
contractors comply with the provisions of this Section. The obligations of
Customer under this Section shall not apply to information that Customer can

restriction as to confidentiality, (ii) at the time of disclosure is generally
available to the public or after disclosure becomes generally available to the
public through no breach of agreement or other wrongful act by Customer, (iii)
has been received from a third party without restriction on disclosure and
without breach of agreement by Customer, or (iv) is independently developed by
Customer without regard to the Confidential Information. In addition, Customer

gives StrongLoop reasonable written notice to allow StrongLoop to seek a
protective order or other appropriate remedy, discloses only such Confidential
Information as is required by the governmental entity, and uses commercially
reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for any Confidential
Information disclosed. Notwithstanding the above, Customer agrees that

authorities and promptly furnish StrongLoop with tax receipts evidencing the
payments of such amounts and (b) the sum payable by Customer upon which the
deduction or withholding is based shall be increased to the extent necessary to

required deduction or withholding.
