In addition, a party will not be considered to have breached its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that Confidential Information is required to be disclosed by any governmental authority, provided that, to the extent legally practicable, the receiving party advises the disclosing party prior to making such disclosure in order that the disclosing party may object to such disclosure, take action to ensure confidential treatment of the Confidential Information, or take such other action as it considers appropriate to protect the Confidential Information. Except for Confidential Information necessary for the performance of obligations or exercise of rights under this Agreement, materials or documents containing Confidential Information will be returned to the disclosing party promptly following written requests thereof or otherwise in accordance with this Agreement.
