Navistar realizes that the Components will be operated on public roads and property
and, as such, recognition of their peculiar nature or characteristic by the general public
and more specifically by competitors of Navistar cannot be avoided. Nevertheless,
Customer agrees to use every reasonable precaution to prevent observation,
photographs, video recordings, or detailed inspection by agents or associates in
competition with Navistar or suppliers of Navistar to the extent practical, provided it
does not impair Customer's use of the Components or Customer's vehicle. Customer
further agrees that evaluation observations and results will be held in strictest
confidence by Customer and will not be used for any purpose inconsistent with this
AGREEMENT.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the parties hereto has caused these present to be
