contained therein, which the parties acknowledge are in full force and effect.
The parties agree that the Licensed Products and any accompanying documentation
will be considered Confidential Information under MTLA #1 and MTLA #2. For the
avoidance of doubt, KMBT may disclose PEERLESS’ Confidential Information to its
affiliates and subcontractors to the extent that the parties have a need to know
for the purpose of using, reproducing or modifying the Licensed Products
permitted under Section 2.1(i), provided that KMBT represents and warrants that
such third parties shall obey the same confidentiality obligations which KMBT
obeys under MTLA #1 and MTLA #2, and provided further that KMBT shall be, and
shall remain, responsible for the conduct of all such affiliates and
subcontractors.
