CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION; INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; DISCOVERIES 7.1 Confidential Information. (a) Each Party receiving Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) warrants and agrees that for a period of five (5) years after its receipt thereof, it shall maintain and safeguard the confidentiality of all Confidential Information received by it from the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”), handling and treating it with at least the same degree of care (and affording it the same protections) the Receiving Party observes and provides for its own confidential, proprietary and trade secret information, and in all events with at least a reasonable standard of care. For purposes of these Terms and Conditions, the term “Confidential Information” shall mean and include only confidential, non-public information provided by the Disclosing Party that describes, pertains or relates to the Work or the performance thereof (including information with respect to the Work Site) or to the tools, equipment, processes or technologies employed in performing the Work. Confidential Information shall not include information which is independently developed by a Party, without reliance upon or reference to the Confidential Information of the other Party. (b) Nothing contained herein shall in any way limit or restrict a Receiving Party’s right to use, disclose, or otherwise deal with any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party which (i) is or becomes generally available in the public domain through no wrongful act or unauthorized disclosure of the Receiving Party, (ii) was lawfully in the Receiving Party’s possession prior to being provided to the Receiving Party, or (iii) is independently made available to the Receiving Party as a matter of right by a Third Party who is under no obligations to maintain the confidentiality thereof. (c) If a Receiving Party receives a request or order to disclose all or any part of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information under the terms of a discovery request, subpoena, or other order issued by a court or governmental body pursuant to law or regulation (a “Disclosure Request”), the Parties each hereby agree (i) to promptly notify the other Party of the existence, terms and circumstances surrounding the Disclosure Request and (ii) to reasonably assist the other Party in seeking an appropriate protective order and/or taking other legally-available steps to resist or narrow the scope of the Disclosure Request, and (iii) if disclosure of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party is required to prevent the Receiving Party from being held in contempt or subject to other penalty, to furnish only such portion of the Confidential Information as it is, in the opinion of the Receiving Party’s counsel, legally compelled to disclose. 7.2 Intellectual Property Rights. (a) Unless the Parties have otherwise agreed in writing, a Party’s Intellectual Property (and any development, enhancement, improvement, or derivative thereof, regardless of inventorship) shall be and remain the property of that Party.

Except as expressly stated herein, neither American Mud Pumps nor Customer shall have any right or license to use, whether directly or indirectly, any of the other’s Intellectual Property. The foregoing does not, however, grant or extend to Customer any ownership interest in or license to use (or right to sublicense) any computer programs, software or firmware used or employed by American Mud Pumps in performing Work or made available to Customer in connection therewith. (b) If American Mud Pumps and Customer or their respective employees jointly develop any Intellectual Property which is not an enhancement, improvement or derivation of either Party’s Intellectual Property (“Joint IP”), the Joint IP shall be owned by American Mud Pumps. American Mud Pumps hereby grants Customer, a revocable, non-exclusive, non-sub-licensable, non-transferrable, royalty free, right and license to use the Joint IP incorporated into the Work solely for the purpose of using such Work. 7.3 Reverse Engineering Prohibited. Except to the extent necessary for the maintenance or repair thereof, Customer shall not (and shall not direct or permit any Third Party to) disassemble any American Mud Pumps Product(s) or Rental Equipment, or decompile, analyze or otherwise seek to reverse engineer any American Mud Pumps Product(s) or Rental Equipment (or any component part thereof) in an effort to discover its design, structure, construction, or formulation, or the firmware used or embedded therein. 7.4 Injunctive Relief. Because money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach or threatened breach by Customer of this Article 7, American Mud Pumps shall be entitled to specific performance, injunctive or other equitable relief to enforce the provisions of this Article 7, without the necessity of proving irreparable harm, without the necessity of posting bond, and without waiving any other remedies available to it, at law or in equity. In the event of such an action, American Mud Pumps shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney’s fees and costs of litigation. 8. INSURANCE 8.1 Insurance in Support of Indemnities.

Customer may not assign any Order (or any rights and interests thereunder) without the prior written consent of American Mud Pumps. Subject to the foregoing, each Order shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assignees. 11. FORCE MAJEURE (a) Neither Party shall be considered in breach of any Order or the requirements of these Terms and Conditions (excluding the obligation of Customer to pay American Mud Pumps for the Work) if prevented from performing due to a Force Majeure Event. The term “Force Majeure Event” means any act or event that renders it wholly or partially impossible for the affected Party to perform its obligations under these Terms and Conditions or any Order or delays such affected Party’s ability to do so, when such act or event (i) is beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party, (ii) is not due to the fault or negligence of the affected Party, and (iii) could not have been avoided by the affected Party by the exercise of reasonable diligence.
