further disclosure of the other party's Proprietary Information or use of such
Proprietary Information for the benefit of any person other than Licensor or
Licensee.
(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party shall have the right to
disclose the other party's Proprietary Information to its outside consultants,

carrying out the rights, duties and obligations of such party under this
Agreement; subject, however, to the conditions that any such outside consultants

copyright, trade secret or any other proprietary right in such other party's
Proprietary Information, or any portion thereof.
9.03 Exceptions to Non-Disclosure Obligations. The confidentiality and
-------------------------------------------

Information that subsequently becomes public, through no fault of the receiving
party; or (c) any such Proprietary Information that is subsequently disclosed to

party, or to any other parties to maintain the confidentiality of such
Proprietary Information. With respect to public use, however, the parties
