For good and valuable consideration, the receipt of which is hereby acknowledged by the Recipient, the Recipient agrees (i) that the Confidential Information shall not be the property of the Recipient and, as between the Recipient and the Company, shall be the property of the Company (except that the Work Product will be the property of the Recipient), (ii) that the Confidential Information shall not be used or disclosed by the Recipient in any manner whatsoever, in whole or in part, other than to: (a) the Recipient's employees and/or personnel who have a need to know such information and (b) to the Recipient's affiliates, subsidiaries, the domestic or foreign member firms of the global network of separate and independent [*****] firms, and other parties that the Recipient engages to assist with its business operations and/or for internal, administrative, and/or regulatory compliance purposes who reasonably require access to such information for purposes of the Transaction (collectively, individuals and entities covered by the foregoing clauses (a) and (b), “Representatives”); provided that such Representatives have been informed of the confidential nature of the Company's Confidential Information and agree to be bound by confidentiality obligations to the Recipient commensurate with the terms hereof, and (iii) to return the Confidential Information to the Company promptly upon its request; provided that the Recipient may retain its Work Product and other Confidential Information to comply with its document retention policies or applicable law, rule, regulation, or professional standards.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Recipient may disclose Confidential Information as required by law, statute, rule, regulation (including by interrogatory, subpoena, deposition, civil investigation demand or other similar legal process), or by professional standards. In such instance, it is agreed that the Recipient will (other than in connection with routine supervisory examinations by regulatory authorities with jurisdiction and without breaching any legal or regulatory requirement) provide the Company with prompt notice of any such request or requirement so that the Company may seek an appropriate protective order. The Recipient may only disclose that portion of the Confidential Information that the Recipient is so required to disclose. In any event, the Recipient will not oppose action by the Company in any such proceeding to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information and will otherwise reasonably cooperate with the Company in any such proceeding. The Recipient acknowledges that it is aware, and that it will advise its representatives who are informed as to the matters which are the subject of this agreement, that the United States securities laws, among other things, prohibit persons who are in possession of material, non- public information concerning a company, including the matters which are the subject of this agreement and the Company, from purchasing or selling securities of such company and from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase and sell such securities, and the Recipient agrees to comply fully with such and other similar laws. The Recipient will not be liable to the Company in any event for lost profits, consequential, indirect, punitive, exemplary or special damages. Also, the Recipient shall have no liability to the Company arising from or relating to any third-party hardware, software, information or materials selected or supplied by the Company or any other party unrelated to the Recipient.

The Recipient agrees that the enforcement of the restrictions contained in this agreement would not be unduly burdensome to the Recipient, and that the Company’s remedy at law for their breach may be inadequate, such that the Company is entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, without any obligation to post any bond.
