During the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years thereafter, the Receiving Party shall maintain the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strictest confidence, shall not disclose it to any third party, and shall use it only as necessary to perform hereunder. The Receiving Party shall cause each of its officers, directors, employees, and agents to restrict disclosure and use of such Confidential Information in like fashion, and shall be responsible for any wrongful disclosure or use by any of them.
