11.** CONFIDENTIALITY**
11.1" Confidential Information" means information disclosed by a party (" Disclosing Party") to the other party (" Receiving Party"), either directly or indirectly, in writing, orally or by inspection of tangible objects (including without limitation documents, prototypes, and equipment), which is designated as "Confidential," "Proprietary" or some similar designation or which, based on the context and circumstances under which the information is disclosed should be reasonably understood to be confidential or proprietary to the Disclosing Party. If disclosed in writing, Confidential Information shall be identified and marked as "Confidential" or a similar designation. Confidential Information does not include any information that: (i) was publicly available at the time of disclosure to the Receiving Party; (ii) was published or otherwise became publicly available after disclosure to the Receiving Party, through no fault of its own; (iii) was in the possession of the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure to it from a third party who had a lawful right to such information and disclosed such information without a breach of duty to the Disclosing Party; or (iv) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party.
11.2 Each Receiving Party agrees to use the same care to protect the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as it employs to avoid disclosure, publication, or dissemination of its own confidential information, but in no event less than reasonable care. With respect to ReMatter, compliance with Section 5 (Privacy and Security) meets such standard. Each Receiving Party shall only use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information as required by this Agreement. Neither Receiving Party shall disclose any of Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to third parties or to the employees and contractors of the Receiving Party unless such employees and contractors are required to have the information in order to perform under this Agreement. Receiving Party shall ensure that its employees and contractors who have access to Confidential Information of the other party have signed a non-use and non-disclosure agreement in content like the provisions hereof, prior to any disclosure of Confidential Information to such employees or contractors. The Receiving Party shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party upon learning of any unauthorized disclosure or use, or loss of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. If the Receiving Party is served with a court order compelling disclosure of any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it will, to the extent allowed under law, immediately notify the Disclosing Party so the Disclosing Party has a reasonable opportunity to oppose disclosure, and reasonably cooperate with the Disclosing Party in the event the Disclosing Party opposes disclosure. Any disclosure of Customer's Confidential Information resulting from a security breach at ReMatter shall not be a breach of this Section 11, unless such breach is the direct result of ReMatter's breach of Section 5 (Privacy and Security). This Section does not transfer ownership of Confidential Information or grant any license thereto. The Receiving Party shall return or destroy Disclosing Party's Confidential Information upon request, provided that ReMatter will be excused from its obligations under this Agreement to the extent its performance requires any Confidential Information returned or destroyed upon Customer's request.
12.** LIMITED WARRANTIES; DISCLAIMER**
12.1** Limited Warranties**
Each party represents and warrants that: (a) it has full corporate power and authority to enter into the Agreement and to carry out the transactions contemplated under the Agreement, including granting the respective licenses hereunder; and (b) it will comply with all laws, rules and regulations applicable to it in exercising its rights and performing its obligations under this Agreement. The United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to this Agreement, including any Subscription Service Form.

THE LIMITATIONS, EXCLUSIONS AND DISCLAIMERS IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL SURVIVE ANY FUNDAMENTAL BREACH OR BREACHES OR THE FAILURE OF THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY CONTAINED HEREIN.
14.** FORCE MAJEURE**
In no event shall a party be liable to the other party (other than payment obligations), for any delay or failure to perform in breach of any of the terms of this Agreement to the extent that such breach results from an event outside the control of the breaching party (a " Force Majeure Event"), including acts of God, acts of a public enemy, acts of terrorism, government acts, fires, floods, epidemics, pandemics, quarantine restrictions, freight embargoes, and unusually severe weather conditions, provided that, in every case, the delay or failure to perform is without the fault or negligence of the delayed or failing party, and that such delayed or failing party makes reasonable efforts to cure the delay or failure as soon as possible after the occurrence of the Force Majeure Event. If a party is unable to perform its obligations under this Agreement for more than sixty (60) days due to a Force Majeure Event, either party shall have the right to terminate the Agreement without further liability to the other party.
15.** NO ASSIGNMENT**

If any part of this Agreement is determined to be invalid or unenforceable pursuant to applicable law, then such provision will be deemed superseded by a valid, enforceable provision that most closely matches the intent of the original provision and the remainder of the Agreement shall continue in effect. No modification or amendment of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless agreed by both parties in writing, and no waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the waiving party. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement, except as specifically provided herein, shall operate as a waiver of any such right, power or remedy. This Agreement, including the schedules hereto and Subscription Service Forms (in each case as executed) constitute the entire agreement between Customer and ReMatter with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersede all oral or written prior or contemporaneous communications and proposals between the parties with respect to same. Unless a Schedule or Subscription Service Form explicitly states that a particular term of this agreement is superseded by a term in the particular Schedule or Subscription Service Form, then this Agreement shall control in the case of a conflict between the Agreement and the terms of the Schedule or Subscription Service Form. Any terms and conditions, including as submitted by Customer on its own standard form documentation, shall not replace, alter, or amend the terms of this Agreement, as no amendment can be made to this Agreement unless signed by authorized representatives of both parties. References to this Agreement herein shall mean this Agreement, all Schedules hereto and any applicable Subscription Service Forms entered into hereunder. The headings contained in this Agreement are for purposes of convenience only and shall not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.

Schedule 1
REMATTER PLATFORM
ReMatter Platform: The ReMatter Platform is a cloud-based platform which provides functionalities that companies – particularly those operating in the industrial recycling space – may find useful. These features include but are not limited to the ability to store and manage information about customers and suppliers; the ability to create and dispatch service jobs; and the ability to track and manage bin/asset locations. Additional features, described on the ReMatter website at https://rematter.com, may also be included with future updates to the Platform in accordance with the rest of this Agreement.
Mobile App: The ReMatter Driver app is a mobile app, available on the Apple App Store (iOS) and the Google Play Store (Android), which enables drivers to receive dispatch instructions from the ReMatter Platform. Each driver has a job queue and will receive job cards, which instruct the driver on how to complete jobs such as the start and end locations, job type, and associated bins/assets. Drivers can use the ReMatter Driver app to mark updates on their jobs, informing the ReMatter Platform user (the dispatcher) on their progress.
