order or other reasonable assurance that any recipient will treat such
proprietary information confidentially. The obligations in this Agreement

Customer shows: (i) is generally known by the public (other than as
a result of an unpermitted disclosure directly or indirectly by Customer
or its affiliates, advisors or representatives); or (ii) is known to

war; act of terrorism; inclement weather; Internet failure; failure
or error of any Internet access provider; failure or impairment of any

term or condition of this Agreement or to exercise any right or remedy

or impair the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement.

such determination will have the power to reform, alter, or amend such
provision so that it will be enforceable and as consistent as possible
with the intention of the Parties as expressed herein. In the event
