the laws of the State of Delaware, ("Siemens"), having an office located at The
Quadrangle,- 4400 Alafaya Trail, Orlando, Florida 32826-2399; BP p.l.c. a corporation
registered in England and Whales ("BP"), having an office located at 501 Westlake
Park Boulevard, Houston TX 77079-2696; and City of Vernon, a Municipality existing
under the laws of the State of California, ("City of Vernon") with offices located at 4305
S Santa Fe Avenue, Vernon, CA, individually referred to as "Party" and collectively
referred to as "the Parties."
WHEREAS, the Parties have entered into or desire to enter into and may later enter
into discussions, technical evaluations, studies, negotiations, contractual arrangements,
sales arrangements, or purchase arrangements in connection with the development,
erection, operation, and a possible Power Purchase Agreement for the Vernon Power
Plant ("VPP") project, and
WHEREAS, such discussions and negotiations may require the disclosure by either
Party of information that such Party believes is confidential or proprietary relating to the
VPP project, any Power Purchase Agreement, any Operation and Maintenance
Contract, or any Long Term Service Agreement (hereafter "Information"); and
The Parties wish to establish the terms under which such confidential information may
be retained and used.
During the course of this Agreement a Party may disclose to the other
(hereinafter referred to as 'Recipient") information that the transmitting Party
believes to be confidential or proprietary. For such Information to be deemed
"Information" therefore subject to the terms of this Agreement, it must be
conspicuously marked by the transmitting Party as "Confidential" or "Proprietary"
by an appropriate stamp, legend, or other written notice thereon and transmitted
electronically, in writing or in other tangible, retainable form. Oral or visual
disclosures of Information shall be deemed as Information from the date of
disclosure, if indicated at the time of disclosure as being confidential or
proprietary and the essence of the oral disclosure reduced to writing within thirty
(30) calendar days from the date of such disclosure. During that interim period,
such information shall be protected as Information.
2. Recipient agrees that it will use the Information of the transmitting Party only in
connection with the negotiations exclusively between the Parties (the "Permitted
Use"). Recipient shall not use such Information for any purpose except the
Permitted Use. Recipient shall have the right to disclose Information on a need

potential relationship, including employees, staff, consultants, elected officials,

officers, directors, attorneys, accountants and auditors provided that such parties
are subject to confidentiality obligations for the Information at least as restrictive
as the terms of this Agreement. Recipient shall not transmit or further disclose
such Information to any third party (except as expressly permitted by the above
sentence), including its parent, affiliates, subsidiaries or subcontractors without
first obtaining prior written approval of the transmitting Party. If such consent is
required, and the transmitting Party approves of such disclosure or transmittal,
Recipient shall first obtain a written agreement from such third party having
confidentiality obligations for the Information at least as restrictive as the terms of
this Agreement that includes an acknowledgement that the transmitting party is a
third party beneficiary of such agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, both
Siemens and BP shall be permitted to transmit or disclose Information to its
affiliates for the Permitted Use, without obtaining written approval from the
transmitting Party. In the event that the Recipient is required by law, a court or
federal, state or local agency to disclose any Information, the Recipient shall
promptly notify the transmitting Party of such requirement so that the transmitting
Party may seek a protective order or take appropriate action as it deems
appropriate. In such circumstances, Recipient shall exercise reasonable efforts
to disclose only the minimal amount of information required to satisfy such
requirement. All Information delivered pursuant to this Agreement shall be
maintained in confidence with the same level of care as Recipient maintains its
own confidential and proprietary information but in no event maintained with any
less than a reasonable standard of care.
3. Recipient shall not make any copy or in any way reproduce or excerpt such
Information except where necessary for the Permitted Use, hereof, or as
authorized by the transmitting Party in writing.
4. Recipient shall maintain the Information in accordance with the terms of this
Agreement from the date of disclosure until two (2) years after the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.
5. Recipient's duties of confidentiality under this Agreement shall not apply to
Information which it can show is the same as information which is;
a) now generally known or readily available to the trade or public or which
becomes so known or readily available without fault of Recipient; or
b) possessed by Recipient or an affiliate of Recipient and not subject to a
confidentiality obligation prior to its disclosure hereunder by the
transmitting Party; or
c) legally acquired from a third party without restriction, unless Recipient
knows or should have known that such information was acquired under an
obligation of confidentiality in which case this Agreement shall apply to
such information; or
d) developed independently by Recipient without benefit of confidential and
proprietary information furnished hereunder by the transmitting Party; or
Confidentiality Agreement Page 2 of 6 January 24, 2007
e) is required, under any applicable law, including, without limitation, the Public
Records Act of the State of California, to be disclosed, in which event the
City of Vernon shall endeavor to provide reasonable notice to Siemens of a
required disclosure; or
f) necessary to establish the rights of either party under this Agreement.
Information, as a whole, shall not be deemed to be in the trade or public merely
because any part of said information is embodied in general disclosures or
because individual features, components or combinations thereof are now or
become known to the trade or public; provided, however, that the portion so
deemed to be in the trade or public shall not be subject to the terms of this
Agreement.
6. It is understood by the Parties that any meetings, discussions, or
correspondence between Siemens, BP, or City of Vernon regarding the Vernon
,Power Plant project shall include representation from all Parties. All
correspondence between the Parties shall be copied to the City of Vernon.
7. It is understood by the Parties that nothing herein is intended to grantor shall be
construed as granting or implying any right under any intellectual property rights

Use. Recipient shall not unfairly obtain the right to use Information which
becomes publicly known through an improper act or omission on its part other
than the Permitted Use.
8. The Information is provided on an "as is" basis and without warranty of any kind.
Neither Party shall be liable to the other in connection with this Agreement or the
subject matter hereof for any indirect, incidental, special, or consequential
damages, loss of revenue, cost of capital, or loss of profit or business
opportunity, whether such liability arises out of contract, tort (including
negligence) strict liability or otherwise; provided however, that foregoing shall not
apply to claims arising from intellectual property infringement or misappropriation
of intellectual property rights.
9. Nothing in this Agreement shall obligate any Party hereto to provide any specific
information it desires to withhold.
10. This Agreement shall be effective for two (2) years from the Effective Date
hereof unless extended by written agreement of the Parties. Upon the expiration
or termination of this Agreement, or receipt of a written request from the
transmitting Party, Recipient shall return to the transmitting Party, or certify to the
transmitting Party the destruction of all Information received under this
Agreement within thirty (30) days from such termination, expiration or request.
11. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall not relieve the
Parties of the obligation not to disclose Information in any manner received
hereunder, as provided in this Agreement.
Confidentiality Agreement Page 3 of 6 January 24, 2007
12. Neither Party may assign or transfer its interest hereunder without the written
consent of the other Party. Any purported assignment without such prior written
consent shall be null and void.
13. Each Party shall bear all costs and expenses incurred by it under or in
connection with this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed
as forming any business relationship between the Parties, such as a partnership,
or as an obligation by either Party to enter into any additional contract or any
subcontract or other business relationship with the other Party in connection
with, or as a result of the transmittal or receipt of, confidential and proprietary
information.
14. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the Parties,
superseding all prior or contemporaneous communications, agreements and
understandings between the Parties with respect to the exchange of Information
for the purposes described herein.
15. The rights and obligations provided by this Agreement shall take precedence
over any oral or written statements made prior to or concurrently with the receipt
of Information.
16. To facilitate compliance with regulations of the U.S. Government concerning the
export of technical information, the Parties agree that any technical information
not in the public domain (whether written or otherwise) first received by the
Recipient hereto or any technical information which the Recipient may develop
by using such technical information received by the transmitting Party, or any
product utilizing technical information so received or developed, will not, without
the prior written permission of the transmitting Party, knowingly be transmitted by
the Recipient, directly or indirectly, to any of the countries designated in the U.S.
Government Regulations (15 C.F.R. 770; and 10 C.F.R. 810.7); or their
respective successor provisions as issued from time to time relating to the
exportation of technical data.
17. Any violation of this Agreement may cause irreparable harm to the disclosing
Party. The Parties agree that the non -breaching Party is entitled to appropriate
equitable relief (including without limitation, injunctive relief or specific
performance) for any breach of the Agreement. Such remedies shall not be
exclusive nor be in derogation of any other rights or remedies which a Party may
have under this Agreement or under statutory or common law. All of the Party's
rights and remedies shall be cumulative and may be exercised separately or
concurrently.
18. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of
California, as such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be
performed entirely within California between California residents. Each of the
parties irrevocably consents to the exclusive personal jurisdiction of the federal
and state courts located in California, as applicable, for any matter arising out of
or relating to this Agreement, except that in actions seeking to enforce any order
Confidentiality Agreement Page 4 of 6 January 24, 2007
or any judgment of such federal or state courts located in California, such
personal jurisdiction shall be nonexclusive.
19. The Parties are entering into this Agreement to discuss a possible business
relationship, and there is no obligation on the part of the Parties to proceed with
negotiations, to enter into a definitive agreement, or to establish a business
relationship. Unless and until a definitive agreement is signed by the Parties,
