Common use of Judicial and Official Disclosure Requests Clause in Contracts

Judicial and Official Disclosure Requests. If the Recipient is requested in any judicial or administrative proceeding or by any Governmental Authority to disclose any Confidential Information, then the Recipient shall (so far as practicable and lawful) promptly provide the Disclosing Party with written notice of such request prior to disclosing such Confidential Information, so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order. The Recipient shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party in seeking such a protective order. If, in the absence of a protective order, the Recipient determines it is obliged to disclose such Confidential Information, the Recipient may, without liability hereunder, furnish only that portion of such Confidential Information that the Recipient has determined it is obliged to furnish and shall exercise reasonable efforts to obtain assurance from the applicable court, administrative agency, Governmental Authority or other Person to whom disclosure is being made that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information to the maximum extent contemplated by this Agreement.
