(a)    Each party agrees to provide only the following information upon inquiry as to the reason for the resignation of Brown or Rhodes from Clyra, or the reason for or contents of this Agreement or the terms thereof: “The parties have determined, with respect to SkinDisc, that the time and capital required to finish development, properly protect and advance its intellectual property, and complete any required regulatory processes, would be demanding and potentially interfere with the launch of Clyra’s Bioclynse surgical wash product, and other products in development, and, in light of Scion’s substantial experience in this field, and in the best interest of Clyra shareholders, the parties agreed to transfer the technology back to Scion in accordance with the terms of this Agreement”

6.    Remedies. The Parties acknowledge that money damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that the Company shall be entitled to seek specific performance and injunctive or other equitable relief as a remedy for any such breach. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedy for breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law or equity.

8.    Permitted Disclosures. Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, if the Recipient is required by subpoena, court order, or similar process or applicable governmental regulation to disclose any Confidential Information, the Parties agree that the Recipient will provide the Company with prompt notice of such request or obligation so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order or procedure if it elects to do so.

Notwithstanding anything contained in this Agreement to the contrary, Recipient may disclose Confidential Information, to the extent necessary to establish or protect Scion’s rights pursuant to the Assignment or any other agreement between Scion and Company.

The Parties shall bring any actions or proceedings in connection with this Agreement and the subject matter hereof only in the Federal or state courts in the State of Florida. This Agreement contains the entire understanding between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. Any failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver thereof or of any other provision hereof.
