EXHIBIT [CHOOSE ONE]
CONFIDENTIALITY
IN CONNECTION WITH THE SERVICES to be provided by Service Provider under this
Agreement, the parties agree to comply with reasonable policies and procedures with regard to
the exchange and handling of confidential information and other sensitive materials between the
parties, as set forth below.
1. Definitions.
For purposes of this Agreement, the party who owns the referenced information and is
disclosing same shall be referenced as the “Disclosing Party.” The party receiving the
Disclosing Party’s information shall be referenced as the “Receiving Party.”
2. Confidential Information.
Confidential Information controlled by this Agreement refers to information that is not public
and/or is proprietary, including but not limited to location information, network security system,
business plans, formulae, processes, intellectual property, trade secrets, designs,
photographs, plans, drawings, schematics, methods, specifications, samples, reports,
mechanical and electronic design drawings, customer lists, financial information, studies,
findings, inventions, ideas, City customer identifiable information (including account, address,
billing, consumption, contact, and other customer data), utility metering data, service billing
records, customer equipment information.
To the extent practical, Confidential Information shall be marked “Confidential” or
“Proprietary.” Nevertheless, Service Provider shall treat as Confidential Information all
customer identifiable information in any form, whether or not bearing a mark of confidentiality
or otherwise requested by the City, including but not limited to the non-exclusive list of
Confidential Information above. In the case of disclosure in non-documentary form of non-
customer identifiable information, made orally or by visual inspection, the Disclosing Party
shall have the right, or, if requested by the Receiving Party, the obligation to confirm in writing
the fact and general nature of each disclosure within a reasonable time after it is made in
order that it is treated as Confidential Information. Any information disclosed to the other party
before the execution of this Agreement and related to the services for which Service Provider
has been engaged shall be considered in the same manner and be subject to the same
treatment as the information disclosed after the execution of this Agreement with regard to
protecting it as Confidential Information.
3. Use of Confidential Information.
Receiving Party hereby agrees that it shall use the Confidential Information solely for the
purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement and not in any way detrimental to
Disclosing Party. Receiving Party agrees to use the same degree of care Receiving Party
uses with respect to its own proprietary or confidential information, which in any event shall
result in a reasonable standard of care to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of the
Confidential Information. Except as otherwise provided herein, Receiving Party shall keep
confidential and not disclose Confidential Information. The City and Service Provider shall
cause each of their directors, officers, employees, agents, representatives, and
subcontractors to become familiar with, and abide by, the terms of this Exhibit, which shall
survive this Agreement as an on-going obligation of the parties.
Service Provider shall not use such information to obtain any economic or other benefit for
itself, or any third party, other than in the performance of obligations under this Agreement.

4. Exclusions from Definition.
The term “Confidential Information” as used herein does not include any data or information
which is already known to the Receiving Party or which before being divulged by the
Disclosing Party: (a) was generally known to the public through no wrongful act of the
Receiving Party; (b) has been rightfully received by the Receiving Party from a third party
without restriction on disclosure and without, to the knowledge of the Receiving Party, a
breach of an obligation of confidentiality; (c) has been approved for release by a written
authorization by the other party hereto; or (d) has been disclosed pursuant to a requirement
of a governmental agency or by operation of law, subject to Paragraph 5 below.
5. Required Disclosure.
Notwithstanding Paragraph 4(d) above, if the Receiving Party receives a request (by
interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand
or similar process, or by federal, state, or local law, including without limitation, the Colorado
Open Records Act) to disclose any Confidential Information, the parties agree the Receiving
Party will provide the Disclosing Party with immediate notice of such request, so the Disclosing
Party may seek an appropriate protective order before disclosure or waive the Receiving
Party’s compliance with this Exhibit.
The Receiving Party shall furnish a copy of this Exhibit with any disclosure.
Notwithstanding this Paragraph 5, Receiving Party shall not disclose Confidential Information
to any person, directly or indirectly, nor use it in any way, except as required by law or
authorized in writing by Disclosing Party.
6. Data Protection and Data Security.
Service Provider shall have in place information security safeguards designed to conform to
or exceed industry best practices regarding the protection of the confidentiality, integrity and
availability of Confidential Information and shall have written agreements requiring any
subcontractor to meet those standards. These information security safeguards (the
“Information Security Program”) shall be materially consistent with, or more stringent than, the
safeguards described in this Exhibit.
(a) Service Provider’s information security safeguards shall address the following elements:
• Data Storage, Backups and Disposal
• Logical Access Control (e.g., Role-Based)
• Information Classification and Handling
• Secure Data Transfer (SFTP and Data Transfer Specification)
• Secure Web Communications
• Network and Security Monitoring
• Application Development Security
• Application Security Controls and Procedures (User Authentication, Security
Controls, and Security Procedures, Policies and Logging)
• Incident Response
• Vulnerability Assessments

• Hosted Services
• Personnel Security
(b) Subcontractors. Service Provider may use subcontractors, though such activity shall not
release or absolve Service Provider from the obligation to satisfy all conditions of this
Agreement, including the data security measures described in this Exhibit, and to require
a substantially similar level of data security, appropriate to the types of services provided
and Confidential Information received, for any subcontractor Service Provider may use.
Accordingly, any release of data, confidential information, or failure to protect information
under this Agreement by a subcontractor or affiliated party shall be attributed to Service
Provider and may be considered to be a material breach of this Agreement.
7. Information Storage. Confidential Information is not to be stored on any local workstation,
laptop, or media such as CD/DVD, USB drives, external hard drives or other similar portable
devices unless the Service Provider can ensure security for the Confidential Information so
stored. Workstations or laptops to be used in the Services will be required to have personal
firewalls on each, as well as have current, active anti-virus definitions.
8. Continuing Obligation. The agreement not to disclose Confidential Information as set forth in
this Exhibit shall apply during the term of the Services and or Agreement and at any time
thereafter unless specifically authorized by the City in writing.
9. Termination Remedy. If Service Provider breaches any of the terms of this Exhibit, in the City’s
sole discretion, the City may immediately terminate this Agreement and withdraw Service
Provider’s right to access Confidential Information.
10. Return of Information. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to provide
Project Instruments and work product, all material, i.e., various physical forms of media in
which Confidential Information is stored, including but not limited to writings, drawings, tapes,
diskettes, prototypes or products, shall remain the sole property of the Disclosing Party and,
upon request, shall be promptly returned, together with all copies thereof to the Disclosing
Party. Upon return of such materials, all digital and electronic data shall also be deleted in a
non-restorable way by which it is no longer available to the Receiving Party. Upon Disclosing
Party’s request, written verification of the deletion (including date of deletion) is to be provided
to the Disclosing Party within ten (10) days after completion of engagement, whether it be via
termination, completion or otherwise.
11. Injunctive Relief. Service Provider Receiving Party acknowledges that the Disclosing Party
may, based upon the representations made in this Agreement, disclose security information
that is critical to the continued success of the Discloser’s business. Accordingly, Receiving
Party agrees that the Disclosing Party does not have an adequate remedy at law for breach
of this Agreement and therefore, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled, as a non-exclusive
remedy, and in addition to an action for damages, to seek and obtain an injunction or decree
of specific performance or any other remedy, from a court of competent jurisdiction to enjoin
or remedy any violation of this Agreement.

Contractor is in default. The contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies
delivered and accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner of
performance set forth in the contract.
If it is later determined by the City of Fort Collins that the Contractor had an excusable
reason for not performing, such as a strike, fire, or flood, events which are not the fault
of or are beyond the control of the Contractor, the City of Fort Collins, after setting up a
new delivery of performance schedule, may allow the Contractor to continue work, or
treat the termination as a termination for convenience.

conditions

any of the terms, covenants, or conditions of this Contract within [ten (10) days] after
receipt by Contractor of written notice from City of Fort Collins setting forth the nature of
said breach or default, City of Fort Collins shall have the right to terminate the Contract
without any further obligation to Contractor. Any such termination for default shall not in
any way operate to preclude City of Fort Collins from also pursuing all available remedies
against Contractor and its sureties for said breach or default.
d. Waiver of Remedies for any Breach In the event that City of Fort Collins elects to waive
its remedies for any breach by Contractor of any covenant, term or condition of this
Contract, such waiver by City of Fort Collins shall not limit City of Fort Collins' remedies
for any succeeding breach of that or of any other term, covenant, or condition of this
Contract.
e. Termination for Default (Supplies and Service) If the Contractor fails to deliver supplies
or to perform the services within the time specified in this contract or any extension or if
the Contractor fails to comply with any other provisions of this contract, the City of Fort
Collins may terminate this contract for default. The City of Fort Collins shall terminate
by delivering to the Contractor a Notice of Termination specifying the nature of the
default. The Contractor will only be paid the contract price for supplies delivered and
accepted, or services performed in accordance with the manner or performance set forth
in this contract.
