ARTICLE VIII
 CONFIDENTIALITY, PUBLICITY AND PRESS RELEASES


        8.1   LIMITATIONS
ON USE AND DISCLOSURE: The parties agree that as regards the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, each party is both a receiving party ("RECEIVING PARTY") and a
disclosing party ("DISCLOSING PARTY"). The parties agree to treat all CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION in the same manner as it treats its own similar proprietary information, but in no case will the degree
of care be less than reasonable care. The RECEIVING PARTY shall use CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of the DISCLOSING PARTY only in performing under this AGREEMENT and shall retain the CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION in confidence and not disclose to any third party (except as authorized under this AGREEMENT) without the DISCLOSING PARTY's express written consent. The RECEIVING PARTY shall disclose the
DISCLOSING PARTY's CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION only to those employees and contractors of the RECEIVING PARTY who have a need to know such information for the purposes of this AGREEMENT, and such
employees and contractors must have entered into agreements with the RECEIVING PARTY containing confidentiality provisions covering the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION, or similar confidential information,
with terms and conditions at least as restrictive as those set forth herein. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party's confidentiality obligations hereunder shall not apply to information which as
evidenced by written records: 



        8.1.1   is
already known to the RECEIVING PARTY, without an obligation of confidentiality, prior to disclosure by the DISCLOSING PARTY; 


        8.1.2   becomes
publicly available without fault of the RECEIVING PARTY; 


        8.1.3   is
rightfully obtained by the RECEIVING PARTY from a third party without restriction as to disclosure, or is approved for release by written
authorization of the DISCLOSING PARTY; or 


        8.1.4   is
developed independently by the RECEIVING PARTY without use of or access to the DISCLOSING PARTY's CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 



4







 





        8.2   PERMITTED
USE AND DISCLOSURE: Each party hereto is permitted to disclose this AGREEMENT and use or disclose the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION disclosed to it by the other
party: 



        8.2.1   To
the extent such use or disclosure is reasonably necessary in connection with complying with any public stock exchange or securities rules; or 


        8.2.2   To
its legal and/or financial advisors, provided such advisors maintain the confidentiality of this AGREEMENT; or 


        8.2.3   To
the extent such use or disclosure is reasonably necessary in prosecuting or defending litigation, complying with applicable law, governmental
regulation or court order, submitting information to tax or other governmental authorities, or otherwise exercising its rights hereunder; or 



        8.2.4   To
the extent necessary to enforce its rights under this AGREEMENT in connection with a legal proceeding or as required to be disclosed by law or
governmental regulation. 


        8.2.5   In
the instances set forth in Sections 8.2.3 or 8.2.4, the RECEIVING PARTY shall provide reasonable advance written notice to DISCLOSING PARTY of such
disclosure and reasonably cooperate with the DISCLOSING PARTY in limiting such disclosure. 




        8.3   NON-PUBLICITY:
For clarity, no media/press release shall be prepared by either party relating to this AGREEMENT, except in accordance with
Section 8.2. In all circumstances, where the existence of this AGREEMENT must be disclosed, parties shall make every effort to prevent disclosure of the contents or terms of this AGREEMENT, or
any portion thereof. 



        8.3.1   Any
other disclosure shall be permitted only with the express written consent of the parties, which may be declined at such party's sole discretion.
