The terms of this Agreement and any Amendment are also Confidential Information.

7.2. Nondisclosure and Nonuse Obligations. Except as permitted in this Agreement, neither party (the “Receiving Party”) shall use nor disclose the Confidential Information of the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party agrees that it shall treat all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party with the same degree of care as the Receiving Party accords to its own Confidential Information, but in no case less than reasonable care. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information only to those of its employees and contractors who need to know such information, and only to those employees and contractors that have previously agreed as a condition of employment or do agree in order to obtain the Confidential Information, to be bound by terms and conditions substantially similar to those terms and conditions applicable to the Receiving Party under this Section 7. The Disclosing Party agrees not to communicate any information to the Receiving Party in violation of the proprietary rights of any third party. The Receiving Party will immediately give notice to the Disclosing Party of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. The Receiving Party agrees to assist the Disclosing Party in remedying any such unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. The parties hereby agree that breach of this Section 7.2 by the Receiving Party will cause irreparable harm and injury to the Disclosing Party for which money damages are inadequate. In the event of such breach, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to injunctive relief, in addition to its legal and other equitable remedies. The obligations in this Section 7 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7.3. Exclusions from Nondisclosure and Nonuse Obligations. The Receiving Party’s obligations under Section 7.2 with respect to any portion of the Confidential Information shall not apply to any such portion which the Receiving Party can demonstrate, (a) was in the public domain at or subsequent to the time such portion was communicated to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party, except (i) by breach of this Agreement by the Receiving Party or (ii) disclosure by any person to whom Confidential Information was disclosed under this Agreement; (b) was rightfully in the Receiving Party’s possession, free of any obligation of confidence, at the time such portion was communicated to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party as demonstrated by prior existing documentation; or (c) was developed by employees of the Receiving Party independently of and without reference to any information communicated to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party. A disclosure of Confidential Information by the Receiving Party, either (i) in response to a valid order by a court or other governmental body, (ii) otherwise required by law, or (iii) necessary to establish the rights of either party under this Agreement, shall not be considered to be a breach of this Agreement or a waiver of confidentiality for other purposes; provided, however, that the Receiving Party shall provide prompt prior written notice thereof to the Disclosing Party to enable the Disclosing Party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent such disclosure.

7.4. Ownership and Return of Confidential Information. Upon the termination or expiration of the License Agreement, the Receiving Party, at the Disclosing Party’s request and no later than five (5) days after such request, shall destroy or deliver to the Receiving Party, at the Disclosing Party’s option, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party and written certification of the Receiving Party’s compliance with its obligations under this sentence. All right, title and interest in and to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and all intellectual property rights therein shall remain with the Disclosing Party.

7.5. Residuals.

15.8. Waiver; Amendment; Modification. No term or provision hereof will be considered waived by either party, and no breach excused by either party, unless such waiver or consent is in writing signed by the party granting such waiver or consent. The waiver by either party of, or consent by either party to, a breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party, shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of, consent to, or excuse of any other or subsequent breach by such other party.
