any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION under the previously defined exceptions above, the Recipient must first give the disclosing party written notice (****) **** days prior to such a disclosure. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 
  

 14 








 
approved in writing by the disclosing party for release by the receiving party without a confidentiality agreement designating the information as
confidential will remove the receiving party’s obligations to the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. 
  
 12.3 If any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION is disclosed pursuant to the requirement or request of a governmental or judicial agency or disclosure is required by
operation of law, such disclosure will not constitute a breach of this Agreement, provided that the receiving party shall promptly notify the disclosing party and seek a protective order with respect thereto reasonably satisfactory to the disclosing
party to the extent available under applicable law.

the property of the disclosing party are and shall remain the property of the disclosing party and shall be returned to the disclosing party promptly at its request, including any copies. 
  
 12.6 Any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION disclosed by the disclosing party at any time under the LWS AGREEMENT shall be deemed for
the purpose of this Article to be or have been disclosed pursuant to this Agreement as CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. PI may disclose information with respect 
  

 15 








 
to any OKI IMPROVEMENTS to the PI PROCESS to one or more third parties as PI CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION and covered by a non-disclosure agreement with
protection equivalent to this Agreement for the sole purpose of having such third parties provide PI with design, layout, foundry, assembly and testing services. 
  
 12.7 The COMMON SPECIFICATIONS will be CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION for a period of **** (****) years after the Term of this
Agreement and OKI agrees to use its best efforts to never make public the COMMON SPECIFICATIONS. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, OKI shall treat the COMMON SPECIFICATIONS in accordance with the confidentiality obligations and
use restrictions of this Agreement during that **** (****) year period. 
  
 12.8 PI may request the confidential release of OKI’s CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION to a customer of the PRODUCTS for purposes of such customer’s evaluation or audit. OKI shall not unreasonably withhold approval of the release.
