Request for Confidential Information Pursuant to Court or Other Proceeding. If Director is requested or required (by oral questions, deposition, interrogatories, subpoena, civil investigative demand or other similar non-criminal process) to disclose any Confidential Information supplied to Director under this Agreement, the Director will provide the Company with prompt written notice of such request(s) so that the Company may, at the Company’s option, (a) seek an appropriate protective order; (b) consult with the Director on the advisability of taking steps to resist or narrow such request or requirement; or (c) waive in writing the Director’s compliance with the provisions of this Agreement for the sole purpose of complying with the request. If, in the absence of a protective order or the receipt of a written waiver hereunder, the Director is nonetheless, in the reasonable opinion of Director’s counsel, compelled to disclose Confidential Information to any governmental tribunal or else stand liable for contempt or suffer other censure or penalty, the Director will cooperate with the Company at the Company’s expense in any attempt that the Company may make to obtain an order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be provided by such tribunal for all or designated portions of such Confidential Information disclosed by the Company.
