Protected Disclosures The Executive understands that nothing contained in this Agreement limits the Executive’s ability to communicate with any federal, state or local governmental agency or commission, including to provide documents or other information, without notice to the Company. The Executive also understands that nothing in this Agreement limits the Executive’s ability to share compensation information concerning the Executive or others, except that this does not permit the Executive to disclose compensation information concerning others that the Executive obtains because the Executive’s job responsibilities require or allow access to such information.
Protected Disclosures and Other Protected Action Nothing in this Agreement shall be interpreted or applied to prohibit the Executive from making any good faith report to any governmental agency or other governmental entity (a “Government Agency”) concerning any act or omission that the Executive reasonably believes constitutes a possible violation of federal or state law or making other disclosures that are protected under the anti-retaliation or whistleblower provisions of applicable federal or state law or regulation. In addition, nothing contained in this Agreement limits the Executive’s ability to communicate with any Government Agency or otherwise participate in any investigation or proceeding that may be conducted by any Government Agency, including the Executive’s ability to provide documents or other information, without notice to the Company. In addition, for the avoidance of doubt, pursuant to the federal Defend Trade Secrets Act of 2016, the Executive shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law or under this Agreement or the Restrictive Covenants Agreement for the disclosure of a trade secret that (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.

Permitted Disclosure and Use Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event that the Receiving Party or any of its directors, officers, employees, agents and advisors and their representatives deems it necessary or are requested or required (by oral questions, deposition, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other legal process by a court or other governmental authority, or by any Regulatory Authority to obtain Regulatory Approval of a Licensed Product) to disclose all or any part of any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such request or requirement (which notice shall be reasonably in advance of such requested or required disclosure), as well as notice of the terms and circumstances surrounding such request or requirement, so that the Disclosing Party may seek an appropriate protective order or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In such case, the Receiving Party shall consult with the Disclosing Party with respect to the advisability of pursuing any such order or other legal action or available steps to resist or narrow such request or requirement. If, failing the entry of a protective order or the receipt of a waiver hereunder, the Receiving Party is, in the opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Disclosing Party and its counsel, legally compelled to disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party may disclose that portion of the Confidential Information which its counsel advises the Receiving Party that the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose. In any event, the Receiving Party will use reasonable efforts to obtain and will not oppose action by the Disclosing Party to obtain, an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be afforded the disclosure of such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will use best efforts to cause its directors, officers, employees, affiliates, agents and advisors and their representatives to comply with the terms of this Section. A Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to a Disclosing Party to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to enforce the provisions of this Agreement.
