follows:
I. (4.01(c)). The City acknowledges and agrees throughout the duration of
the contract that, as between OSI and LOGIS, title and full ownership rights to the
GEMUNIS/3000 System and all components thereof delivered to it remain with OSI. The
City further acknowledges and agrees that the GEMUNIS/3000 System and all components

may be validly copyrighted or patented. The City covenants that it will not make

factory to OSI under the contract embodying the substance of the covenants thereof

in whatever form imparted to LOGIS or the City by OSI in connection with OSI's per-
formance under the contract,will be deemed confidential and proprietary to OSI, will
be held in trust and confidence by the City, and will be safeguarded by the City

lated thereto are not made available by the City or by any of its agents, servants
and employees to any other person, firm or entity, except as permitted by the con-
tract. The City further agrees to take reasonable steps necessary to ensure that

observe and perform the obligations hereby undertaken by the City.
