10.5 Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information (or any part or parts thereof) to the extent required by applicable law if, unless prohibited by applicable law, Recipient provides the Discloser reasonable advance notice of the required disclosure and reasonably cooperates, at the Discloser’s expense, with the Discloser’s efforts to obtain confidential treatment for the Confidential Information.
10.6 Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information (or any part or parts thereof) to its employees, advisors, contractors, and representatives who each have a need to know the Confidential Information, but only if such person or entity is bound by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as those in this Section 10 and Recipient remains responsible for the compliance of any such person or entity with the terms of this Section 10.
10.7 Each Party acknowledges that its breach of this Section 10 might cause the other Party extensive and irreparable harm and damage and agrees that the other Party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief to prevent use or disclosure of its Confidential Information not authorized by this Agreement, in addition to any other remedy available to the other Party under this Agreement and/or under any applicable law.
10.8 Upon the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, and/or at the first written request of the Discloser, the Recipient shall, (a) return to the Discloser any document or other material in tangible form in its possession being part of the Confidential Information of the Discloser, as well as all copies thereof, and/or (b) destroy any document or other material in tangible form that contains Confidential Information of the Discloser and the Recipient as well as all copies thereof, and (c) confirm such return and/or destruction in writing to the Discloser.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be entitled to retain copies of Confidential Information for backup and archive purposes and neither Party shall be required to return or destroy any such Confidential Information if such return or destruction is impracticable, technically infeasible or contrary to either Party’s bona fide existing document retention policies, all provided that such retained Confidential Information shall remain subject to the obligation of confidentiality under the terms of this Agreement in perpetuity.
10.9 Neither Party shall disclose, advertise, or publish the terms and conditions of this Agreement (or any summary of any of the forgoing) to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party, unless and to the extent required to do so by law or in order to establish or enforce such Party’s rights hereunder.
