6.2 Additional Protections. Each PARTY shall take reasonable steps to maintain the confidentiality of the CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of the other PARTY, which steps shall be no less protective than those that such PARTY takes to protect its own information and materials of a similar nature, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither PARTY shall use or permit the use of any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of the other PARTY except for the purposes of carrying out its obligations or exercising its rights under this AGREEMENT, and neither PARTY shall copy any CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION of the other PARTY except as may be reasonably useful or necessary for such purposes.

6.3 Permitted Disclosures. The obligations of Sections 6.1 and 6.2 shall not apply to the extent that RECIPIENT is required to disclose information by LAW, judicial order by a court of competent jurisdiction, or rules of a securities exchange or requirement of a governmental agency for purposes of obtaining approval to test or market the PRODUCT, or discloses information to a patent office for the purposes of filing a PATENT as permitted in this AGREEMENT; provided that the RECIPIENT shall provide prior written notice thereof to the DISCLOSING PARTY and sufficient opportunity for the DISCLOSING PARTY to review and comment on such required disclosure and request confidential treatment thereof or a protective order therefor. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either PARTY may disclose the terms and conditions of this AGREEMENT and the NONDISCLOSURE AGREEMENT to actual or potential acquirers, investors and lenders and their respective representatives under written confidentiality agreements at least as protective of the DISCLOSING PARTY’S rights as the terms and conditions of this Article 5.
