<p>The Waypoint NDA <br />Version 1.0.0 <br />The parties agree: <br />1. Mutual Nondisclosure. “Disclosing Party” describes each party with respect to <br />Confidential Information it discloses to the other party. “Receiving Party” describes each <br />party with respect to Confidential Information it receives from the other party. <br />2. Purpose. The parties anticipate disclosure of Confidential Information for the purpose on <br />the accompanying standard form certificate (the “Purpose”). <br />3. Confidential Information. <br />(a) Categories of Confidential Information. Subject to Section 3(b) (Exclusions <br />from Confidential Information), “Confidential Information” means the <br />following kinds of information: <br />(i) information disclosed by Disclosing Party during the term of this <br />agreement that is related to the business of Disclosing Party; <br />(ii) the fact that the parties are pursuing the Purpose; <br />(iii) the terms of this agreement; <br />(iv) the fact that the parties have entered into this agreement; and <br />(v) other information derived from these kinds of information. <br />(b) Exclusions from Confidential Information. <br />(i) Public Information. Information that is now public is not Confidential <br />Information. Confidential Information that becomes public, other than as a <br />result of breach of this agreement, ceases to be Confidential Information. <br />(ii) Otherwise Acquired Information. Information that Receiving Party <br />receives other than from Disclosing Party is not Confidential Information, <br />unless the disclosure breached a confidentiality obligation to Disclosing <br />Party that Disclosing Party made known to Receiving Party. <br />(iii) Independently Developed Information. Information Receiving Party <br />develops independently is not, or ceases to be, Confidential Information of <br />Disclosing Party. Receiving Party shall bear the burden of proving <br />independent development using contemporaneous documentary evidence.</p>
<p>4. Confidentiality Obligations. <br />(a) Nondisclosure. Except as described in Section 4(b) (Permitted Disclosure), <br />Receiving Party shall not disclose Confidential Information to anyone. <br />(b) Permitted Disclosure.

Receiving Party shall use Confidential Information only to advance <br />the Purpose. <br />(d) Security Measures. Receiving Party shall take measures to secure materials <br />embodying Confidential Information at least as protective as those Receiving <br />Party employs to secure its own Confidential Information, but in any event no less <br />than reasonable measures. <br />(e) Preserve Proprietary Notices. Receiving Party shall not remove any proprietary <br />notices attached to materials embodying Confidential Information. <br />(f) No Illegal Dealing in Securities. Receiving Party shall not break securities laws <br />by purchasing, selling, or otherwise dealing in securities of Disclosing Party on <br />the basis of Confidential Information that is material, nonpublic information. <br />Receiving Party shall instruct anyone to whom it discloses Confidential <br />Information that may be material, nonpublic information not to break securities <br />laws by dealing in securities of Disclosing Party. <br />(g) No Reverse Engineering. Receiving Party shall not reverse engineer any material <br />embodying Confidential Information.</p>

If legally permitted, Receiving <br />Party shall promptly notify Disclosing Party of the nature of the <br />requirement and the Confidential Information affected. If practical, <br />Receiving Party shall give notice quickly enough to afford Disclosing <br />Party practical chance to start a proceeding to protect the confidentiality of <br />the Confidential Information.

When this agreement terminates, if Receiving Party has a written <br />records retention policy for the creation and scheduled destruction of archival or <br />backup records, and only specialized personnel can routinely access those records, <br />then Receiving Party may retain materials embodying Confidential Information <br />until destroyed under that policy. <br />(l) Comply with Export Controls.
