Developer's employees having a need-to-know and shall segregate such

Dear Sir:
International Business Machines Corporation (hereinafter called IBM) may wish to
obtain quotations from and to issue to Pencom Software, Inc. (hereinafter called
Developer) IBM Purchase Orders and to execute with Developer associated
agreements for various materials, services or software programs from time to
time. In connection therewith, it may be necessary for IBM to disclose to
Developer confidential information of IBM.
As a basis for such dealings, Developer is required to enter into this Agreement
having the following terms and conditions.
1. IBM may disclose IBM Confidential Information to Developer either orally
or in writing (including graphic material). When disclosed in writing, or
other tangible form, the information will be labeled "IBM Confidential".
When disclosed orally, such information will be identified as "IBM
Confidential" at the time of disclosure with subsequent confirmation in
writing referencing the date and type of information disclosed. Developer
agrees to clearly label as "IBM Confidential" all information reduced to
writing by Developer as a result of such oral disclosures.
IBM's disclosure of Confidential Information may include disclosure(s) of
third Party source code (hereinafter called Third Party Source Code).
Third Party and/or IBM Source Code shall be labeled as such in addition to
being labeled as and deemed to be IBM Confidential Information as set
forth above.
2. Developer shall hold in trust and confidence all IBM Confidential
Information including Third Party Source Code and shall not disclose such
information to any third party. Furthermore, Developer shall not use such
IBM Confidential Information for any purpose other than to prepare a
response to any IBM Request For Quotation or to perform work for IBM as
may subsequently be ordered. Developer shall not disclose or use such
information for any purpose other than those stated above until such time
as the information becomes publicly known through no fault of Developer.
3. Except for the specific purposes contemplated by this Agreement, it is to
be understood that by disclosing IBM Confidential Information to
Developer, IBM and any Third Party do not grant any express or implied
license or other right to Developer under patents, copyrights or other
proprietary rights of IBM or the Third Party.
4. IBM Confidential Information shall also include all information identified
as confidential and disclosed by IBM to Developer which pertains to IBM's
past, present or future research, development or business activities.
5. Developer shall not disclose IBM Confidential Information to
subcontractors nor subcontract any part of the work covered by Purchase
Orders issued by IBM without first obtaining written consent from IBM.
6. Developer's obligations regarding IBM Confidential Information shall not
apply to information which was already known to Developer prior to
disclosure of it to Developer by IBM which is or becomes publicly
available through no fault of Developer's, which is rightfully received by
Developer from third parties without accompanying secrecy obligations,
which is independently developed by Developer or which is approved in
writing by IBM for Developer to release.
7. Developer shall disclose IBM's Confidential Information only to
Developer's employees having a need-to-know and shall segregate such
information at all times from the materials of third parties so as to
prevent any commingling.
8. Developer shall maintain a written agreement with each of Developer's
employees sufficient to enable Developer to comply with the terms of this
Agreement.
9. Developer shall secure IBM documents, items of work in process, work
products, and any other items that embody IBM Confidential Information in
locked files or areas providing restricted access to prevent its
unauthorized disclosure.
10. Developer shall maintain adequate procedures to prevent loss of any
materials containing IBM Confidential Information. In the event of any
loss, Developer shall notify IBM immediately.
11. Developer agrees to maintain one hundred percent (100%) accountability of
material and equipment consigned to Developer by IBM and will promptly
notify IBM of loss or damage of any items consigned.
12. Developer shall return to IBM all IBM Confidential Information upon
request.
13. IBM does not wish to receive confidential information of Developer or any
third party and IBM will be free to
reproduce, distribute to third parties, and otherwise use any information
furnished to IBM by Developer. Any information provided to IBM shall not
be deemed confidential.
14. This Agreement is effective upon execution.
15. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive and continue after
expiration or termination of the Agreement with respect to any IBM
Confidential Information disclosed to or obtained by Developer prior to
the date of such expiration or termination or disclosed to or obtained by
Developer subsequent thereto under any Purchase Orders in effect on such
date or expiration or termination.

parties hereto shall be determined, in accordance with the substantive law
of the State of New York.
