Subsequent to the date of this Agreement, the Buyer and the Seller will maintain in confidence, any written, oral, or other information obtained in confidence from another party in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, unless (a) such information is already known to such party or to others not bound by a duty of confidentiality or such information becomes publicly available through no fault of such party, (b) the use of such information is necessary or appropriate in making any required filing with the Commission, or obtaining any consent or approval required for the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, or (c) the furnishing or use of such information is required by or necessary or appropriate in connection with legal proceedings.
