27.3

This clause 27 and the confidentiality undertakings contained in clause 26 shall not apply to any disclosure made by a Party to its employees, professional advisors or consultants, provided that they have agreed to the same confidentiality undertakings, or to any judicial or arbitral tribunal or officer, in connection with any matter relating to this Agreement or arising out of it.
