With respect to Confidential Information provided to the receiving party under this Agreement, the receiving party agrees to (i) hold the Confidential Information in confidence and to protect it; (ii) restrict disclosure of the Confidential Information solely to those employees, contractors and agents of the receiving party with a need-to-know to carry out the respective obligations under this Agreement and not disclose it to any third party (including corporate affiliates not a party to this Agreement); (iii) advise its employees, contractors and agents of their obligations with respect to the Confidential Information; and (iv) use the Confidential Information only for the purposes set forth in this Agreement, except as may otherwise be mutually agreed upon in writing. In any event, Metro One and AWS expressly agree not to sell, license, release or disclose the other party's Confidential Information to any competitor or potential competitor of the other or to any LEC or affiliate thereof. However, Metro One and AWS shall be permitted to disclose such information to their accountants, legal, financial and marketing advisers as are necessary for the performance of their respective duties, or as required by law, provided that such advisers agree to be bound by the provision of this Section 13 ("Confidential Information").
