Notwithstanding the foregoing, no information shall be deemed Confidential Information if such information: (i) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of a disclosure directly or indirectly by the Receiving Party; (ii) was developed independently by or on behalf of the Receiving Party without any use of Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party; (iii) was disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party not subject to any confidentiality obligations; or (iv) was required to be disclosed pursuant to a court order or governmental proceeding, provided that the Receiving Party undertook reasonable efforts to provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such order, so that the Disclosing Party could seek an appropriate protective order. |

Upon written request of the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall, at the Disclosing Parties discretion, return or destroy, all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in its possession and control. The foregoing will not be construed as requiring the return of Confidential Information to which the Receiving Party has a perpetual license or a statutory obligation to preserve records. Section 2.3 shall remain unaffected. |
