If, at any time, a party hereof becomes legally compelled (by deposition, interrogatory, request for documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand, or similar process or otherwise) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, such party shall provide the other party with prompt, prior written notice of such requirement so that the other party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the terms of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, that the other party waives compliance with the provisions hereof, each agrees to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which such party is advised by written opinion of counsel is legally required and exercise such party's best efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such Confidential Information.
