The term “Confidential Information” shall not include information which, prior to delivery, was already in the recipient Party’s possession; is or becomes generally available to the public through lawful means, other than as the result of a disclosure by the recipient Party or its representatives; becomes available to a recipient Party without confidential or proprietary restriction by a third party who rightfully possesses the information without confidential or proprietary restrictions; or the recipient Party can demonstrate that it was independently developed by such recipient Party.

 

12.2 Use. Except as otherwise specifically provided in this Agreement, each Party covenants and agrees that it will not, publish, communicate, divulge, or disclose to any person, firm, or corporation any Confidential Information of any other Party, except as necessary in the performance of the terms of this Agreement. Each Party covenants and agrees that it will not use any Confidential Information of any other Party except as necessary to fulfill its obligations or exercise its rights under this Agreement, and only for such purposes and only for the time that it is necessary to do so, except to the extent it is otherwise permitted under this Agreement. Each Party will take commercially reasonable security precautions, at least as great as the precautions it takes to protect its own Confidential Information and as may be required by Applicable Law, with respect to the Confidential Information of each other Party which it receives and will disclose such Confidential Information only on a need to know basis and only to its subsidiary, agent or subcontractor who is obligated to treat such Confidential Information in a manner consistent with all the obligations of this Agreement. Liability for damages due to disclosure of the Confidential Information by any such third party shall be with the Party that disclosed the Confidential Information to the third party.

 

 

12.3 Required Disclosures. In the event that the recipient of Confidential Information is requested or becomes legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information of the other Party, it is agreed that such recipient Party will provide the disclosing Party with prompt written notice of such request(s) to enable the disclosing Party, at its sole cost and expense, to seek a protective order to protect and preserve the confidential nature of the Confidential Information. In such event, each Party agrees that it will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required and will exercise reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to that portion of the Confidential Information and other information which is being disclosed. Each Party shall immediately notify the other upon discovery of any loss or unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information of the other Party.

 

12.4 Return or Destruction. As requested by the furnishing Party during the Term, upon expiration or any termination of this Agreement, or completion of the obligations of the receiving Party, as applicable, the receiving Party shall (a) return or destroy, as the furnishing Party may direct, and in the manner reasonable directed by the furnishing Party, all material in any medium that contains, refers to, or relates to the furnishing Party’s Confidential Information, and (b) retain no copies except one (1) copy solely for compliance with record retention requirements under Applicable Law; provided, however, that no Party will be obligated to erase Confidential Information contained in an archived computer system backup made in accordance with such Party’s security and/or disaster recovery procedures, provided that such archived copy will (a) eventually be erased or destroyed in the ordinary course of such Party’s data processing procedures and (b) will remain fully subject to the obligations of confidentiality stated herein.

 

12.5 Misuse. In the event of any actual or suspected misuse, disclosure or loss of, or inability to account for, any Confidential Information of the furnishing Party, the receiving Party promptly shall: (a) promptly (and in any event within three (3) Business Days) notify the furnishing Party upon becoming aware thereof; (b) furnish to the other Parties full details of the unauthorized possession, use or knowledge, or attempt thereof, and use reasonable efforts to assist the other Party in investigating or preventing the reoccurrence of any unauthorized possession, use, or knowledge, or attempt thereof, of Confidential Information; (c) take such actions as may be necessary or reasonably requested by the furnishing Party to minimize the violation; and (d) cooperate in all reasonable respects with the furnishing Party to minimize the violation and any damage resulting therefrom.

 

12.6 Ownership of Confidential Information. As between the Parties, each Party’s Confidential Information shall remain the property of that Party. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as obligating a Party to disclose its Confidential Information to the other Party, or as granting to or conferring on a Party, expressly or impliedly, any rights or license to the Confidential Information of the other Party, and any such obligation or grant shall only be as provided by other provisions of this Agreement.

 

 

12.7 Press Releases and Inquiries. The Parties agree and acknowledge that they do not intend to issue any media releases, public announcements or public disclosures relating to this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement, and that Company must receive prior written approval from Licensee, which Licensee may withhold in its sole discretion, before issuing any such communication. In the event Licensee provides such prior written consent to any communication, all media releases, public announcements and public disclosures by a Party relating to this Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement, including promotional or marketing material (but not including announcements intended solely for internal distribution or disclosures to the extent required to meet legal or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the disclosing party) shall be coordinated with and approved by the Parties prior to release. If Licensee determines that disclosure is required to meet legal or regulatory requirements it shall promptly inform the other Party and coordinate such disclosure with the other Party. For such legal or regulatory communication, Licensee shall limit disclosure to that which is necessary and shall give due consideration to comments Company and its counsel may provide regarding the nature of the disclosure.

 

12.8 Conflicts. To the extent that any provision in this Agreement conflicts with a provision of any other agreement between the Parties, the language most protective of Confidential Information shall take precedence as to the subject matter hereof.

 

13. Financial Information. During the Term, Company shall, upon either Licensee’s request, furnish the following financial information to Licensees:

 

(a) Within forty-five (45) days after the end of each fiscal quarter of Company, quarterly financial statements of Company, certified by the chief financial officer or treasurer of Company to Licensees; and

 

(b) Within ninety (90) days after the end of each fiscal year of Company, commencing with the fiscal year ending December 31, 2012, Company’s audited annual financial statements.

 

Company shall ensure that all financial statements provided by it pursuant to this Agreement, and all accounting calculations performed by it pursuant to this Agreement, shall comply with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

 

13.2 Assignment. Except as set forth in this Agreement, no Party may transfer or assign this Agreement or its obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, except to an Affiliate of such Party, and no attempted assignment shall be effective, without the prior written consent of the other Parties. Any purported assignment in violation of this Section 14 shall be void and of no effect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event ITCFL or IHFL is acquired by, merged into, or sells substantially all of its assets to, any entity, this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect, and such successor entity shall assume the rights and obligations hereunder. In the event that the Company is to be acquired, merged or sold, Company shall provide Licensee with reasonable advance notice and provide (or induce such entity to provide) information set forth on Exhibit G by Licensee to enable Licensee to perform diligence on such entity, which the Parties understand is required of Licensee by Applicable Law and Regulatory Authorities, prior to Licensee either consenting or refusing to consent to the proposed assignment in Licensee’s reasonable sole discretion.

 

 

14. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Florida, without regard to that state’s conflict of laws principles. Each Party agrees that service of process in any action or proceeding hereunder may be made upon such Party by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the address for notice set forth herein, as the same may be modified in accordance with the terms hereof.

 

15. Force Majeure. No Party shall be liable for any failure or delay on its part to perform, and shall be excused from performing any of its non-monetary obligations hereunder if such failure, delay or non-performance results in whole or in part from any cause beyond the absolute control of the party, including without limitation, any act of God, act of war, riot, actions of terrorists, earthquake, fire, explosion, natural disaster, flooding, embargo, sabotage, government law, ordinance, rule, regulation, order or actions. Any Party desiring to rely upon any of the foregoing as an excuse for failure, default or delay in performance shall, when the cause arises, give to the other Parties prompt notice in writing of the facts which constitute such cause; and, when the cause ceases to exist, give prompt notice thereof to the other Parties. This Section 16 shall in no way limit the right of any Party to this Agreement to make any claim against third parties for any damages suffered due to said cause. If any performance under this Agreement is postponed or extended for longer than sixty (60) calendar days any Party may, by written notice to the other Parties, terminate this Agreement immediately.

 

16. No Third Party Beneficiaries. No Cardholder nor any other third party, other than the Issuing Bank, an Affiliate of any Party, or any Approved Licensee Retailer, is a third party beneficiary to this Agreement.

 

17. Relationship of the Parties. Each Party agrees that, except as otherwise provided herein, they are independent contractors to each other in performing their respective obligations hereunder. Nothing in this Agreement or in the working relationship being established and developed hereunder shall be deemed or is intended to be deemed, nor shall it cause, any of the Parties to be treated as partners, joint ventures, or otherwise as joint associates for profit.

 

18. Subcontractors. Nothing herein shall be deemed to prevent or restrict either Licensee from subcontracting any of its duties or obligations hereunder, provided that the subcontracting Party shall remain at all times liable for the performance of such duties or obligations as if the subcontracting Party had performed such duties or obligations itself. Company shall obtain each Licensee’s prior written approval, which such Licensee may grant or deny in its reasonable discretion, before retaining any third party (and non-Affiliate) to perform any portion of Company’s obligations hereunder, and will assist such Licensee in obtaining such due diligence materials from, or agreements with, any such proposed third party that such Licensee may deem reasonably necessary or that may otherwise be required by Applicable Law. Neither Licensee’s approval of any such proposed third party shall in any way relieve Company of its duties and obligations under this Agreement. Company shall ensure that any third party (Affiliate or otherwise) engaged by Company to perform any portion of Company’s obligations hereunders hall be subject to the same duties and obligations as Company under this Agreement, including, without limitation, compliance with Applicable Law in the performance of its duties and those obligations set forth in Sections 5.2 and 12.

 

 

19. Notices. All notices to be given hereunder shall be effective only when made in writing and actually delivered (by mail, overnight courier, special courier, telecopier or otherwise) to such Party at its address set forth in Exhibit A. Any Party may change its address for receipt of notice by written direction to the other Parties.

 

20. Further Assurances. Each Party agrees that it will do and that it will require its employees, agents and representatives (including third party contractors) to do all things and execute all documents as the other Parties may reasonably require to effect the general purposes or any specific provision of this Agreement.

 

21. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and any attachments hereto set forth the entire agreement and understanding between Licensees and Company as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior discussions, agreements and understandings of any kind, and every nature between them.

23. Successors and Third Parties. Except as limited by Section 14, this Agreement and the rights and obligations hereunder shall bind, and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns. Nothing in this Agreement, expressed or implied, is intended to confer upon any person, other than the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, any of the rights hereunder.
