• Confidentiality of the Agreement The parties agree that the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be kept confidential and shall be disclosed only to those persons and entities as required by law or as permitted by the other party hereto. The parties may, however, disclose the existence of this Agreement to any person or entity.

• Confidentiality of Agreement Executive shall keep the existence and the terms of this Agreement confidential, except for Executive’s immediate family members and Executive’s legal and tax advisors in connection with services related hereto and except as may be required by law or in connection with the preparation of tax returns.

This obligation shall remain in effect for as long as the information or materials in question retain their status as Confidential Information. Participant further agrees that he/she shall fully cooperate with the Company in maintaining the Confidential Information to the extent permitted by law. The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, alter either the Company’s rights or Participant’s obligations under any state or federal statutory or common law regarding trade secrets and unfair trade practices. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Participant shall not be restricted from: (i) disclosing information that is required to be disclosed by law, court order or other valid and appropriate legal process; provided, however, that in the event such disclosure is required by law, Participant shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure by Participant; and (ii) reporting possible violations of federal, state, or local law or regulation to any governmental agency or entity, or from making other disclosures that are protected under the whistleblower provisions of federal, state, or local law or regulation, and Participant shall not need the prior authorization of the Company to make any such reports or disclosures and shall not be required to notify the Company that Participant has made such reports or disclosures.

• 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.

• Restriction on Disclosure and Use of Confidential Information and Trade Secrets Executive understands and agrees that the Confidential Information and Trade Secrets constitute valuable assets of the Company and its affiliated entities, and may not be converted to Executive’s own use. Accordingly, Executive hereby agrees that Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time during the Restricted Period reveal, divulge, or disclose to any Person not expressly authorized by the Company any Confidential Information, and Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, at any time during the Restricted Period use or make use of any Confidential Information in connection with any business activity other than that of the Company.

The parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement is not intended to, and does not, alter either the Company’s rights or Executive’s obligations under any state or federal statutory or common law regarding trade secrets and unfair trade practices. Anything herein to the contrary notwithstanding, Executive shall not be restricted from disclosing or using Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by law, court order or other legal process; provided, however, that in the event disclosure is required by law, Executive shall provide the Company with prompt notice of such requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order prior to any such required disclosure by Executive.
