2

3.4 If Stockholder becomes compelled in any proceeding to make any disclosure that is prohibited by this Section 3, Stockholder shall, to the extent legally permissible. provide Buyer with prompt notice of such compulsion so that Buyer may seek an appropriate protective order or other appropriate remedy or waive compliance with the provisions of this Section 3. In the absence of a protective order or other remedy, Stockholder may disclose that portion (and only that portion) of Confidential Information that, based upon the opinion of Stockholder’s counsel, Stockholder is legally compelled to disclose; provided, however, that Stockholder shall use Stockholder’s best efforts to obtain written assurance that any Person to whom any Confidential Information is so disclosed shall accord confidential treatment to such Confidential Information.

3.5 Nothing in this Section 3 will diminish the protections and benefits under applicable Law to which any Trade Secret of any Acquired Company is entitled. If any information that an Acquired Company asserts to be a Trade Secret under applicable Law is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not to be such a Trade Secret, such information will nonetheless be considered Confidential Information of that Acquired Company for purposes of this Section 3.

3.6 Stockholder acknowledges that Stockholder has been notified in accordance with the federal Uniform Trade Secrets Act (18 U.S. Code§ 1839) that an individual shall not be held criminally or civilly liable under any federal or state trade secret law for the disclosure of a trade secret that: (a) is made (i) in confidence to a federal, state, or local government official, either directly or indirectly, or to an attorney; and (ii) solely for the purpose of reporting or investigating a suspected violation of law; or (b) is made in a complaint or other document filed in a lawsuit or other proceeding, if such filing is made under seal.
