11. CONFIDENTIALITY
11.1 CONFIDENTIALITY. Each party agrees that, during and after the Term, such party will maintain in confidence all Confidential Information of the other party, and will not disclose any such Confidential Information to any Third Party or use any Confidential Information for any purpose whatsoever except as contemplated by this Agreement. In maintaining the confidentiality of Confidential Information of the other party, each party will exercise the same degree of care that it exercises with its own confidential information of similar nature, and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Without limiting its obligation to maintain the confidentiality of the Confidential Information of the other party, each party will use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that each of its personnel holds in confidence and makes no use of any Confidential Information of the other party for any purpose other than those permitted by this Agreement. Each party will use its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that no Person other than its personnel will have access to Confidential Information of the other party without the prior written consent of the other party, and will restrict access to such Confidential Information to those of its personnel having a need for access thereto and who are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those provided herein. This obligation of confidentiality shall remain for a period of three (3) years following any termination or expiration of this Agreement.
11.2 EXCEPTIONS. The obligation of confidentiality contained in this Agreement will not apply to the extent that (a) either party (the “Receiving Party”) is required to disclose information by order or regulation of a governmental agency or a court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Receiving Party will not make any such disclosure without first notifying the other party and allowing the other party a reasonable opportunity to seek injunctive relief from (or a protective order with respect to) the obligation to make such disclosure or (b) the Receiving Party can demonstrate that (i) the disclosed information was at the time of such disclosure to the Receiving Party already in (or thereafter enters) the public domain other than as a result of actions of the Receiving Party, its directors, officers, employees or agents in violation hereof; (ii) the disclosed information was rightfully known to the Receiving Party prior to the date of disclosure to the Receiving Party; (iii) the Receiving Party independently developed the disclosed information without any use of or reference to the disclosed information as demonstrated by written ETC documentation; or (iv) the disclosed information was received by the Receiving Party on an unrestricted basis from a source unrelated to any party to this Agreement and not under a duty of confidentiality to the other party.
11.3 UNAUTHORIZED DISCLOSURE. Each party acknowledges and confirms that the Confidential Information of the other party constitutes proprietary information and trade secrets valuable to the other party, and that the unauthorized use, loss or outside disclosure of such Confidential Information will cause irreparable injury to the other party. Each party will notify the other party promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of Confidential Information, and will cooperate with the other party in every reasonable way to help regain possession of such Confidential Information and to prevent its further unauthorized use. Each party acknowledges that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information of the other party and that the other party will be entitled, without waiving other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction. Each party will be entitled to recover reasonable attorney’s fees for any action arising out of or relating to a disclosure of Confidential Information of such party by the other party.
11.4 RETURN OF INFORMATION. Without prejudice to any other rights provided herein, upon termination of this Agreement or at any time upon request during the Term, each party will return to the other party all Confidential Information of the other party in its possession or control, or destroy such Confidential Information, including any copies or reproductions thereof, to the extent such party no longer has the right to use.
