	Consultant shall not, directly or indirectly, use or disclose the Confidential Information, whether or not acquired, learned, obtained or developed by Consultant alone or in conjunction with others, except as such disclosure or use may be required in connection with the performance of the Services or as may be consented to in writing by the Company.
6.3	The Confidential Information is and shall remain the sole and exclusive property of the Company regardless of whether such information was generated by Consultant or by others, and Consultant agrees that upon termination of this Agreement it shall deliver promptly to the Company all such tangible parts of the Confidential Information including records, data, notes, reports, proposals, client lists, correspondence, materials, marketing or sales information, computer programs, equipment, or other documents or property which are in the possession or under the control of Consultant without retaining copies thereof.

6.5	Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this clause, Consultant shall not be liable for the disclosure or use of any of the Confidential Information to the extent that the Confidential Information:
	(a)	was in the public domain prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement or subsequently came into the public domain through no fault of Consultant;

	(b)	was lawfully received by Consultant from a third party, which third party was, to the knowledge of Consultant, free of any obligation of confidentiality;
	(c)	was already in the lawful possession of Consultant without an obligation to maintain its confidentiality prior to its disclosure to Consultant;
	(d)	is required to be disclosed by applicable law, or in a judicial or administrative proceeding, but only so long as Consultant, to the extent it is not legally prohibited, gives the Company notice, prior to any disclosure, of any request to disclose Confidential Information so that the Company has an opportunity to object to the production or disclosure of the requested information. In the event that Confidential Information is produced under such legal compulsion, such production shall be strictly limited to the requesting party as dictated by applicable law or court order, shall be limited in scope to the extent practicable, and shall not otherwise affect the confidential nature of such Confidential Information;

Such permitted disclosure shall not otherwise affect the confidential nature of such Confidential Information.
6.5	For purposes of this Agreement, Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be in the public domain or be in Consultant’s lawful possession merely because it consists of components that are within the public domain.
