Notwithstanding the foregoing, the restrictions on the use and disclosure of Manager Confidential Information, Tenant Confidential Information or the terms of this Agreement shall not apply: (i) to information or techniques which are or become generally known to the public (other than through any breach of this Section 8.3 with respect to confidentiality); (ii) to the extent such disclosure is required under Applicable Laws, including reporting requirements applicable to public companies, or stock exchange rules; or (iii) to information known to Landlord (other than in connection with the performance of its rights or duties hereunder) before disclosure by either Manager or Tenant or disclosed to Landlord by a third party not subject to confidentiality obligations to either Manager or Tenant, as applicable, or developed by Landlord without use of either Manager Confidential Information or Tenant Confidential Information.
