disclosing Party or its respective Subsidiary, shall be used by the receiving
Party or its respective Subsidiaries only for the intended purpose, and such

Proprietary Information and is subject to or agrees to be bound by similar
restrictions on its use and disclosure.



     Section 14.4 Neither Party shall issue any public announcement or press
release relating to the execution of this Agreement without the prior approval

all or any part of this Agreement to, any regulatory filing or statement, each
Party agrees to discuss and work cooperatively, in good faith, with the other
Party, to protect, to the extent possible, those items or matters which the
