9.1 Under this provision Client and Sunstate may be referred to individually as a “Party” or collectively as the “Parties”. If Client and Sunstate have not executed a mutual nondisclosure agreement, this provision will govern the exchange of information. Neither Party will disclose any Confidential Information (defined below) received from the other Party, or otherwise discovered by the receiving Party, to any third party, except as expressly permitted in the Agreement.
