will prepare and provide to each Party a written report stating whether the reports submitted and payments made are correct or
incorrect and the specific details concerning any discrepancies and may not reveal to either Party any information learned in the
course of such audit other than the amount of any such discrepancies. Both Parties agree to hold in strict confidence all information
disclosed to it, except to the extent necessary for either Party to enforce its rights under this First Amended Agreement or if
disclosure is required by Applicable Laws and Standards.
