action.

The Receiving Party will maintain in confidence and will not disclose, disseminate, or use
any Confidential Information belonging to the Disclosing Party, whether orally or in written
form. The Receiving Party agrees to treat all Confidential Information with at least the same
degree of care as it accords its own confidential information. The Receiving Party shall
disclose Confidential Information only to its employees who need to know such information
and certifies that such employees have previously signed a copy of this Agreement not to
disclose such Confidential Information to anyone except authorized employees or agents of
the Receiving Party who need access to the Confidential Information solely for the purposes
of carrying out their duties in connection with employment or permitted purposes.

4. No Rights Granted:

Nothing in this Agreement is intended to grant any rights under any patent, copyright, or
other intellectual property of either Party. This Agreement does not grant the Receiving Party
any rights in or to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except the limited
right to review such Confidential Information in connection with the proposed relationship
between the Parties. The Confidential Information shall always remain the property of the
Disclosing Party, and the Receiving Party shall not communicate any information to any third
party in violation of the proprietary rights of the Disclosing Party.

whichever is earlier. Either Party may terminate this Agreement by giving 30 days’ written

deliver to the Disclosing Party, without retaining any copies, all documents and other
materials furnished to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party.

7. Governing Law:
This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Republic of India. Any dispute arising
out of or relating to this Agreement may be instituted and prosecuted in the courts of
competent jurisdiction in the State of Tamil Nadu, India, and the Parties irrevocably submit to
the jurisdiction of said courts.

8. Injunctive Relief:
A breach of any of the promises or agreements contained herein will result in irreparable and
continuing damage to the Disclosing Party, for which there will be no adequate remedy at
law. The Disclosing Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief and/or a decree for specific
performance, and such other relief as may be proper, including monetary damages if
appropriate.

adequate remedy at law for any breach of obligations hereunder. The Disclosing Party shall
be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to all remedies available under law,
including injunctive relief to enforce the terms of this Agreement. The Receiving Party will
notify the Disclosing Party in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any breach of
which it is aware.

13. Miscellaneous:
This Agreement shall bind and benefit both Parties and their successors and assigns. If any
provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid, or unenforceable, such provision
shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall
otherwise remain in full force and effect. This Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and
writings and constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof. Any failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a
waiver thereof. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, which together shall
constitute one and the same agreement. The Parties waive any right to claim that the courts of
Tamil Nadu, India, are an inconvenient forum.
