its rights or perform its obligations hereunder.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party may disclose Confidential Information to the limited extent required in
order to comply with the order of a court or other governmental body, or as otherwise necessary to comply with
applicable law, provided that the Party making the disclosure pursuant to the order shall first have given written
notice to the other Party and made a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order; or to establish a Party’s
rights under this Agreement, including to make required court filings. On the expiration or termination of the
Agreement, the receiving Party shall promptly return to the disclosing Party all copies, whether in written,
electronic, or other form or media, of the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, or destroy all such copies
and certify in writing to the disclosing Party that such Confidential Information has been destroyed.
Each Party’s obligations of non-disclosure with regard to Confidential Information are effective as of the Effective
Date and will expire five (5) years from the date first disclosed to the receiving Party; provided, however, with
respect to any Confidential Information that constitutes a trade secret (as determined under applicable law), such
obligations of non-disclosure will survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement for as long as such
Confidential Information remains subject to trade secret protection under applicable law.

administrative, and technical measures, and security procedures to safeguard and ensure the security of the Product

of this Agreement.

to participate in the defence thereof by counsel of its own choice.
