party, and except as required to fulfill the purposes of this Agreement, shall not use or disclose
such Confidential Information to any third party, firm or corporation, including any agent,
affiliate, subsidiary, consultant, customer, potential customer, independent contractor or
subcontractor of the parties, without the prior written consent of the disclosing party, provided
that, Licensee may disclose Confidential Information to Subsidiaries and Sublicensees sublicensed
pursuant to Section 2.1 above and independent contractors pursuant to Section 2.8, provided, such
Subsidiaries, Sublicensees and independent contractors agree to be bound by the confidentiality
obligations set forth under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the receiving party may
disclose the Confidential Information to its employees with a need to know such information,
provided each employee shall be obligated in writing to keep such information confidential.
Licensee may at anytime disclose written portions of Confidential Information to customers on a
need-to-know basis to the extent deemed necessary by Licensee to market, sell and/or manufacture

disclosing party;



               (ii) was in the public domain on the Effective Date or is subsequently placed in the public
domain by the disclosing party;



               (iii) was received by the receiving party in good faith from a third party lawfully in
possession thereof and without an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party and without
breach of this Agreement;



               (iv) was developed independently by the receiving party’s employees or subcontractors who have
not had access to any of the disclosing party’s Confidential Information;



               (v) was required by law to be disclosed, provided that notice of such legally required
disclosure is delivered to the disclosing party prior to disclosure so that the disclosing party
may contest such disclosure; or



               (vi) was approved for release in advance and in writing by the disclosing party.



          (b) Copy. The receiving party shall not directly or indirectly cause or permit any
Confidential Information to be copied or reproduced unless such copy or reproduction is necessary
to fulfill the purposes of this Agreement. Any such copy shall be marked confidential and, when
appropriate, marked as proprietary to the disclosing party.




          (c) No Right. Nothing in this Agreement shall confer upon the receiving party any
right, title, interest or license in or to any Confidential Information received from the
disclosing party, except and to the extent otherwise expressly stated in this Agreement.

compliance of its directors, officers, employees, and subcontractors with the confidentiality
provisions of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the receiving party agrees to take
any step that the disclosing party reasonably requests to ensure compliance with this Section 8.3.




          (f) Relief. The receiving party acknowledges that any disclosure, or use of the
Confidential Information or any part thereof, except as expressly permitted under this Agreement,
shall diminish substantially the value to the disclosing party of its proprietary rights and
interests and that legal remedies in such circumstances would be wholly inadequate. In such
instance, the receiving party agrees that the disclosing party shall be entitled to seek equitable
relief to protect its interest in and to the Confidential Information or any part thereof,
including, but not limited to, seeking injunctive relief and/or the receiving party’s compliance
with the provisions of this Agreement, as well as monetary and other damages available to it under
