b. |
Exceptions. The obligations under this Article 11 shall not apply to any information to the extent the receiving Party can demonstrate by competent evidence that such information: |
i. |
is (at the time of disclosure) or becomes (after the time of disclosure) known to the public or part of the public domain through no breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party; |
ii. |
was known to, or was otherwise in the possession of, the receiving Party without obligation of confidentiality prior to the time of disclosure by the disclosing Party, as evidenced by its contemporaneous written records; |
