 3. This Research Material will be used by Recipient’s investigator solely for the performance of the research
protocol (“Research Project”) described with specificity on Attachment A. 
 4. Recipient agrees to treat in confidence, during the

such disclosures from Provider to Recipient as being CONFIDENTIAL by notice delivered to Recipient within thirty (30) days after the date of the disclosure. 
  

	(a)	Recipient may publish or otherwise publicly disclose the results of the Research Project; provided that, before Recipient submits a written document, including without
limitation a paper or abstract, for publication or otherwise intends to publicly disclose information concerning the Research Project, Recipient shall notify Provider (and Provider shall have the right to disclose any such document to

time period under court order or the Freedom of Information Act pertains. In all oral presentations or written publications concerning the Research Project, Recipient will acknowledge Provider’s and Provider’s Collaborator’s
contribution of this Research Material unless requested otherwise. 

  

	(b)	At intervals mutually agreed upon by the parties during the Research Project, and upon completion of the Research Project, Recipient shall promptly and fully disclose

hereafter held by Provider and/or Provider’s Collaborator, and Recipient shall not represent to any person that it is the owner of the Research Material. Other than the limited right to use the Research Material for the Research Project as set
