The MCP agrees to expressly indicate by marking the top or bottom of each individual record containing information the MCP deems proprietary, regardless of media type (CD-ROM, Excel file etc.), prior to its release to ODM, unless otherwise specified by ODM. Unless otherwise specified by ODM, a record not so expressly indicated by the MCP as proprietary shall not be held confidential and the MCP waives any claim that the record is proprietary.

When ODM determines that a court order or subpoena requires the disclosure of MCP proprietary information, ODM shall reasonably promptly notify the MCP and shall do so before any disclosure unless otherwise ordered by the court. If the MCP chooses to challenge any order or subpoena requiring disclosure of proprietary information submitted to ODM, or any legal action brought to compel disclosure under ORC 149.43, the MCP agrees to provide for the legal defense of all such proprietary information. The MCP shall be responsible for and pay for all legal fees, expert and consulting fees, expenses, and costs related to this challenge against disclosure, regardless of whether those legal fees, expert and consulting fees, expenses, and costs are incurred by the MCP or by ODM. If the MCP fails to promptly notify ODM in writing that the MCP intends to legally defend against disclosure of proprietary information, that failure shall be deemed to be a waiver of the proprietary nature of the information, and a waiver of any right of the MCP to proceed against ODM for violation of this Agreement or of any laws protecting proprietary information.
