Disclosed information shall be considered confidential within the meaning of this Agreement only if: (a) the information has been reduced to writing (paper or electronic) and contains a notice as to its confidential nature, or (b) oral information is identified by the speaker as confidential and then reduced to a writing (paper or electronic) delivered to the receiving party that contains a notice as to its confidential nature, or (c) where the nature of the information disclosed or the circumstances under which such information is disclosed should reasonably be understood by the receiving party to be confidential information regardless of whether identified as such by the disclosing party. Without limitation, confidential information does not include any information that, through no fault or failure to act on the part of receiving party, is or becomes: (i) known by the receiving party (without breach of any confidentiality obligation known to the receiving party by any third party) prior to disclosure by the disclosing party; (ii) independently developed by the receiving party without the use of, or reference to, any confidential information; (iii) later received by the receiving party from a third party that is not under a confidentiality obligation to the disclosing party; or (iv) publicly available to third parties. To clarify, all data, computer-aided designs, specifications, drawings, photographs, and other materials related to the Licensed IP shall be confidential regardless of whether marked as such upon delivery to Licensee. The terms of this Agreement are agreed to be confidential information. In addition, to the extent that Licensor’s licensors require Licensee to execute additional confidentiality agreements in order to receive such Licensed IP, Licensee agrees to execute such additional agreements as reasonably required.
12.2 Each Party may disclose the other Party’s confidential information:
(a) To its employees, officers, representatives or advisers who need to know such information for the purposes of carrying out the Party’s obligations or rights under this Agreement provided that each Party shall procure that such persons to whom it discloses confidential information shall keep such information confidential as if were a party to this Agreement;

(c) To the extent that Licensor or Licensee is required by law to do so, it shall have the right to disclose this Agreement and the contents thereof in its or its parent entity’s current report on Form 8-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) and other required SEC filings, such as Form 10-K annual reports and Form 10-Q quarterly reports; provided, however, that it shall disclose no more than is necessary to fulfill its legal obligations and shall make such disclosures only after notifying the other party of the information to be disclosed and consulting with its legal department.

The inability to deliver any such notice because of a changed mailing address of which no notice was given, or because of the rejection or refusal to accept such notice, shall be deemed to be the effective receipt of the notice as of the date of such inability to deliver, rejection, or refusal to accept. Notice may be given by counsel or an agent for a Party.
12.5 No waiver of any breach of the terms of this Agreement shall be effective unless such waiver is in writing and signed by the Party against whom such waiver is claimed. No waiver of any breach shall be deemed to be a waiver of any other or subsequent breach.

This Agreement shall not constitute any Party the legal representative or agent of the other, nor shall any Party or any affiliate of any Party have the right or authority to assume, create or incur any liability or obligation, express or implied, against, in the name of, or on behalf of the other Party solely by virtue of this Agreement.
12.18 Licensor and Licensee shall pay their own respective legal fees incurred in negotiating and preparing this Agreement.

13. Joint Preparation/Independent Counsel.
13.1 This Agreement shall be considered, for all purposes, as having been prepared through the joint efforts of the Parties to this Agreement.
