11.2.
In the event that any Party is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to any applicable laws, regulations or stock market rules, each Party undertakes to reasonably provide the other Party with a prior written notice (to the extent permitted under law), in order to enable the other Party to act in order to prevent or to provide their reasonable comments to the disclosure of Confidential Information. In any event, the Confidential Information shall not be disclosed except to the extent specifically required for this purpose, and if there is no specific requirement, then it shall be disclosed only after consultation between both Parties (provided that such consultation is permitted under law). Each Party undertakes to use its best efforts to ensure that any Confidential Information disclosed pursuant to this Section 11.2 is handled confidentially, subject to the provisions of any law. For the avoidance of doubt, it is hereby clarified that the provisions of this Section 11 shall not restrict either Party from disclosing information required, pursuant to the Parties’ obligations as public companies / reporting corporations, or for the purpose of publishing prospectuses and public offerings.
