intended disclosure and an opportunity to respond or object to the disclosure or (b) if prior notice is not permitted or practical under the circumstances, prompt notice of such disclosure. Seller shall cooperate, in all reasonable respects, with

assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Proprietary Information which is so disclosed.
