  1. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

The Receiving Party shall protect the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information with the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own such information, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care, and Confidential Information shall only be used for the purposes contemplated herein. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligations shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document: (a) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information; (b) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party; (c) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation; (d) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without access to such information; or (e) disclosure is required pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the extent required to comply with such order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which monetary damages would be insufficient and therefore upon any such disclosure the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to equitable relief in addition to any other remedies it might have at law.
