Unless otherwise agreed to by Franchisee in writing, Provider shall only host and process Data in the United States.

Nothing in this agreement grants Franchisee any right to use any trademark, service mark, or logo, associated with Jolt Software, Inc. or Jolt and/or the name of Jolt Software, Inc. or Jolt or their Affiliates, except to the extent that such content is incorporated within a report generated by the Subscription Services or such use is part of the user experience of the Subscription Services.

2.2     Agreement to Maintain Confidentiality.     Provider acknowledges that Provider, its Sub-Contractors, and their personnel (collectively referred to in this section as “Recipients”) may have access and contribute to information and materials of a highly sensitive nature (including Confidential Information) and Provider agrees that it shall protect, and shall ensure that Recipients protect, the legitimate business interests of Franchisee therein.  Provider agrees that, during the Term and at all times thereafter, it shall use its best efforts and utmost diligence to maintain and safeguard the confidentiality and security of all Confidential Information to protect it against disclosure, misuse, espionage, loss and theft in accordance with this Agreement and all applicable laws.  Provider agrees to implement all measures necessary to maintain such confidentiality and security, including advising Recipients who have access to Confidential Information in accordance with this Agreement and the restrictions contained herein, but in no case using less than (a) the measures it uses to protect its own confidential information and (b) reasonable care.  In the event the law applicable to this Agreement requires that Provider’s duties under this section have a time limit, Provider’s duties under this section, and the duties of any Recipient under this section, shall expire two (2) years after the expiration of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the preceding sentence, Provider shall at all times take, and shall cause Recipients to take, all reasonable steps to protect Franchisee’s Trade Secrets (as the term “Trade Secrets” is defined under Illinois law), which shall be deemed to be Confidential Information for purposes of this Agreement, for so long as they remain Trade Secrets; and nothing in this Agreement shall limit Provider’s or any Recipient’s duties not to disclose Trade Secrets or Franchisee’s remedies in the event of such disclosure.

Provider shall take appropriate measures by instruction and agreement prior to disclosure to Recipients to (w) make Recipients aware of the duties and restrictions related to the Confidential Information and (x) assure against any use or disclosure not expressly permitted under this Agreement. Provider shall be liable to Franchisee for any use or disclosure by Recipients that are not expressly permitted under this Agreement.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, nothing in this Article II or this Agreement is intended or shall be interpreted so as to interfere with any rights a Worker may have under either Section 7 of the National Labor Relations Act or the United States Defend Trade Secrets Act.  Under the Defend Trade Secrets Act, a Worker cannot be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a Trade Secret that is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local governmental official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney, and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law.  Further, a Worker cannot be held liable for disclosure of a Trade Secret made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, provided the filing is made under seal. In a lawsuit for retaliation for reporting a suspected violation of law, a Worker may disclose a Trade Secret to its attorney, and may use the Trade Secret information in such court proceeding, if the Worker (i) files any document containing the Trade Secret under seal, and (ii) does not disclose the Trade Secret, except pursuant to court order.

2.2     Required Disclosures.     In the event that Provider or any Recipient is required by law or court order to disclose any Confidential Information, Provider shall (a) immediately inform Franchisee and McDonald’s of such disclosure requirement and promptly confirm the same by written notice to Franchisee and McDonald’s, so that Franchisee may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, (b) cooperate with Franchisee’s efforts, including without limitation any efforts to obtain a protective order or other appropriate remedy, to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information consistent with applicable law, and (c) use Provider’s best efforts to limit any such disclosure to the minimum disclosure necessary to comply with such legal requirement. If Franchisee or McDonald’s notifies Provider, or Provider is otherwise aware, that any Franchisee Confidential Information may be within the attorney-client or work-product privileges, then regardless of any applicable exclusions, Provider (i) shall not take any action that would result in waiver of such privileges, and (ii) shall instruct all Provider individuals who may have access to such communications to maintain privileged material as strictly confidential and otherwise protect such privileges.
