The receiving party shall treat the disclosing party’s Confidential Information as confidential to and as the property of the disclosing party and use a degree of care not less than the degree of care it uses with respect to its own information of like nature to prevent unauthorized access, use or disclosure, which in any event shall be no less than a reasonable degree of care. The receiving party and its corporate Affiliates shall not disclose any Confidential Information to, and will not use any Confidential Information for the benefit of, any third party, except to the extent necessary to carry out its obligations under this Agreement; provided, however, that any party may share

5

Confidential Information with its corporate Affiliates solely for the purpose of evaluating the relationship between the Parties, including without limitation, the program described in this Agreement.

This Agreement will not prohibit the disclosure of Confidential Information pursuant to a court order, subpoena or the requirement of any governmental authority, provided that the recipient promptly notifies the discloser of any such order or requirement to the extent permitted by law, and cooperates, at the discloser’s expense, in any effort to obtain a protective order from the issuing court or governmental authority limiting disclosure and use of the Confidential Information. Because of the unique and proprietary nature of the Confidential Information, each party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief, without the necessity of posting any bond or surety, in addition to all other remedies available in law or equity in the event of any breach of this Section 5.1.

The receiving party will cease all use of the discloser’s Confidential Information and will return to the disclosing party all such Confidential Information in its possession or control, promptly upon the disclosing party’s request. Alternatively, at the disclosing party’s request, Confidential Information may be destroyed by shredding, erasing, or otherwise modifying the data to make it unreadable, undecipherable, and unrecoverable through any means. The requirement to return or destroy Confidential Information will not apply to Confidential Information that has been (i) incorporated into other documents for the internal use of the receiving party in performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement, or (ii) stored for backup or archiving purposes, but the receiving party will continue to comply with the provisions of this Agreement regarding such Confidential Information.
