7.	Confidential Information. Danforth acknowledges and agrees that during the course of performing the Services, the Company may furnish, disclose or make available to Danforth information, including, but not limited to, any and all material, compilations, data, formulae, models, patent disclosures, procedures, processes, business plans, projections, protocols, results of experimentation and testing, specifications, strategies and techniques, and all tangible and intangible embodiments thereof of any kind whatsoever (including, but not limited to, any and all scientific, technical, trade secrets, apparatus, biological or chemical materials, animals, cells, compositions, documents, drawings, machinery, patent applications, records and reports), which is owned or controlled by the Company and is marked or designated as confidential at the time of disclosure or is of a type that is customarily considered to be confidential information (collectively the “Confidential Information”). Danforth acknowledges that the Confidential Information or any part thereof is the exclusive property of the Company and shall not be disclosed to any third party without first obtaining the written consent of the Company. Danforth further agrees to take all commercially reasonable steps to ensure that the Confidential Information, and any part thereof, shall not be disclosed or issued to its affiliates, agents or employees, except on like terms of confidentiality and only as necessary to perform the Services for Company. Danforth shall at all times be liable for the failure of any of its affiliates, agents or employees to comply with the provisions of this Section 7. The above provisions of confidentiality shall apply until the termination of this Agreement and for a period of five (5) years after termination of this Agreement. With respect to trade secrets, the confidentiality obligations of Danforth and its affiliates, agents or employees shall survive any termination of this Agreement for so long as the Confidential Information remains a trade secret under applicable law. Pursuant to the Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, Danforth acknowledges that Danforth will not have criminal or civil liability under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that (i) is made (A) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney and (B) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (ii) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal. In addition, if Danforth files a lawsuit for retaliation by Company for reporting a suspected violation of law, Danforth may disclose the trade secret to its attorney and may use the trade secret information in the court proceeding, if Danforth (i) files any document containing the trade secret under seal and (ii) does not disclose the trade secret, except pursuant to court order.

To the extent that any of the Inventions do not constitute a “work made for hire”, Danforth hereby irrevocably assigns, and shall cause Danforth Personnel to irrevocably assign to Company, at the Company’s sole cost and expense, all right, title, and interest throughout the world in and to the Inventions, including all intellectual property rights therein. Danforth shall cause Danforth Personnel to irrevocably waive, to the extent permitted by applicable law, any and all claims such Danforth Personnel may now or hereafter have in any jurisdiction to so-called “moral rights” or rights of droit moral with respect to the Inventions. Upon the reasonable request of Company and at the Company’s sole cost and expense, Danforth shall, and shall cause Danforth Personnel to, promptly take such further actions, including execution and delivery of all appropriate instruments of conveyance, as may be necessary to assist Company to prosecute, register, perfect, or record its rights in or to any Inventions

10.	Non Solicitation. All Danforth Personnel representing Danforth are employees or contracted agents of Danforth. Accordingly, they are not retainable as employees or contractors by the Company and the Company hereby agrees not to solicit, hire or retain any Danforth Personnel who had been proposed for or who had direct involvement in the performance of Services under this Agreement during the Term of this Agreement and for one year thereafter. Should the Company violate this restriction, it agrees to pay Danforth liquidated damages equal to fifty percent (50%) of the employee’s starting annual base salary and target annual bonus for each Danforth contracted agent hired by the Company in violation of this Agreement plus Danforth’s reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs incurred in enforcing this agreement should the Company fail or refuse to pay the liquidated damages amount in full within 30 days following its violation. For purposes herein, “solicit” does not include broad-based recruiting efforts, including, without limitation, help wanted advertising and posting of open positions on a party’s internet site.

11.	No Implied Warranty. Except for any express warranties stated herein, the Services are provided on an “as is” basis, and the Company disclaims any and all other warranties, conditions, or representations (express, implied, oral or written), relating to the Services or any part thereof. Further, in performing the Services, Danforth is not engaged to disclose illegal acts, including fraud or defalcations, which may have taken place. The foregoing notwithstanding, Danforth will promptly notify the Company if Danforth becomes aware of any such illegal acts during the performance of the Services. Because the Services do not constitute an examination in accordance with standards established by the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants (the “AICPA”), Danforth is precluded from expressing an opinion as to whether financial statements provided by the Company are in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles or any other standards or guidelines promulgated by the AICPA, or whether the underlying financial and other data provide a reasonable basis for the statements.

12.	Indemnification. Each Party hereto agrees to indemnify and hold the other Party hereto, and its affiliates, and its and their respective directors, officers, agents and employees (“*Indemnitees*”) harmless against any claim based upon such Party’s material breach of the representations and/or warranties contained in this Agreement. Further, the Company shall indemnify and hold harmless the Danforth Indemnitees against any third party claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) that arise out of or result from the from the gross negligence or willful misconduct by Company under this Agreement, except for any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Danforth Indemnitee. Danforth shall indemnify and hold harmless the Company Indemnitees against any third party claims, losses, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) that arise out of or result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct by Danforth under this Agreement, except for any such claims, losses, damages or liabilities arising out of the gross negligence or willful misconduct of any Company Indemnitee. The Company will endeavor to add the applicable Danforth Personnel to its insurance policies as additional insureds. Furthermore, during the Term of this Agreement, if the Company desires that Danforth provide treasury services, the Company shall obtain and maintain a Crime and Cyber Insurance Policy that includes coverage for “Social Engineering” claims and extends coverage to Danforth.

13.	D&O Insurance. The Company shall use its best efforts to specifically include and cover, as a benefit for their protection, Danforth staff serving as directors or officers of the Company (the “*Executive Danforth Staff”) or affiliates from time to time with direct coverage as named insureds under the Company’s policy for directors’ and officers’ (“D&O*”) insurance. The Company will maintain such D&O insurance coverage for the period through which claims can be made against such persons. The Company disclaims a right to distribution from the D&O insurance coverage with respect to such persons. In the event that the Company is unable to include Executive Danforth Staff under the Company’s policy or does not have first dollar coverage acceptable to Danforth in effect for at least $5 million (e.g., such policy is not reserved based on actions that have been or are expected to be filed against officers and directors alleging prior acts that may give rise to a claim), Danforth may, upon prior written consent of the Company, attempt to purchase a separate D&O policy that will cover the Executive Danforth Staff only. The cost of same shall be invoiced to the Company as an out -of -pocket cash expense. If Company does not consent to the purchase of a separate D&O policy, Company may terminate this Agreement upon thirty days written notice to Danforth. If Danforth is unable to purchase such D&O insurance, then Danforth reserves the right to terminate the Agreement upon delivery of written notice.

14.	Independent Contractor. Danforth is not, nor shall Danforth be deemed to be at any time during the term of this Agreement, an employee of the Company, and therefore Danforth shall not be entitled to any benefits provided by the Company to its employees, if applicable. Danforth’s status and relationship with the Company shall be that of an independent contractor. Danforth shall not state or imply, directly or indirectly, that Danforth is empowered to bind the Company without the Company’s prior written consent. Nothing herein shall create, expressly or by implication, a partnership, joint venture or other association between the Parties.
