any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (ii) was known to the Receiving Party prior to its disclosure by the
Disclosing Party without breach of any obligation owed to the Disclosing Party, (iii) is received from a third party

except as otherwise authorized by the Disclosing Party in writing, to limit access to Confidential Information of the
Disclosing Party to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees and contractors who need that access for purposes
consistent with this Agreement and who have signed confidentiality agreements with the Receiving Party containing
protections no less stringent than those herein. Neither party will disclose the terms of this Agreement or any Order
Form to any third party other than its Affiliates, legal counsel and accountants without the other party’s prior written
consent, provided that a party that makes any such disclosure to its Affiliate, legal counsel or accountants will remain
responsible for such Affiliate’s, legal counsel’s or accountant’s compliance with this Section 6.2.
6.3. Compelled Disclosure. The Receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to the
extent compelled by law to do so, provided the Receiving Party gives the Disclosing Party prior notice of the compelled
disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing
Party wishes to contest the disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law to disclose the Disclosing Party’s
Confidential Information as part of a civil proceeding to which the Disclosing Party is a party, and the Disclosing Party
is not contesting the disclosure, the Disclosing Party will reimburse the Receiving Party for its reasonable cost of
compiling and providing secure access to that Confidential Information.
