Confidential Information includes not only written information but also information transferred orally, visually, electronically, or by any other means. If the information is in other than written form, it will be
Confidential Information only if the information by its nature or the context of its disclosure would reasonably be considered of a confidential nature, and the Disclosing Party gives written notice before, or within ten days after, disclosure that the information must remain confidential.
Confidential Information will include any of the above described information whether such information is disclosed to the Receiving Party prior to, on or after the Effective Date. The Receiving Party hereby acknowledges the sensitive and confidential nature of the Confidential Information, and the irreparable damage that would result to the Disclosing Party if such Confidential Information is disclosed to third parties or otherwise used or disclosed in a manner not expressly permitted by this Agreement.

(a) The Receiving Party will not disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any third party or disclose it to an employee of the Receiving Party unless such employee (i) has a need to know the Confidential Information in connection with Consultant’s provision of the Services in accordance with this Agreement (the “Purpose”) and (ii) is subject to confidentiality obligations owed to the Receiving Party at least as stringent as those set forth in this Agreement. The Receiving Party will use the Confidential Information only for the Purpose and will not use it for any third party’s benefit. The Receiving Party will use the same degree of care to protect the Confidential Information as it would use to protect its own information of like importance, but in no event with less than reasonable care.
(b) If the Receiving Party is subject to legal proceedings requiring disclosure of Confidential Information (“Legal Disclosure”), then, prior to disclosing any such Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will promptly notify the Disclosing Party, and will cooperate with the Disclosing Party, at the Disclosing Party’s cost, to limit the Legal Disclosure.
(c) The Confidentiality obligations in Section 2(a) above do not apply to disclosed information that the Receiving Party can prove: (i) the Receiving Party knew at the time of disclosure, free of any obligation to keep it confidential, as evidenced by written records; (ii) is generally publicly known through authorized disclosure; (iii) the Receiving Party independently developed without using or relying on any Confidential Information, as evidenced by written records; (iv) the Receiving Party rightfully obtains from a third party who has the right to transfer or disclose it without violation of any confidentiality obligations; or (v) as demonstrated by competent evidence, has been approved for release to the general public by a written authorization of the Disclosing Party.

All Confidential Information disclosed by the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party will at all times remain the exclusive property of the Disclosing Party, except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section P below. Except as otherwise expressly set forth in Section P below, promptly following termination of this Agreement, the Receiving Party must return all Confidential Information, and any copies thereof (including electronic copies), that were disclosed to the Receiving Party, or, if requested by the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall destroy such
Confidential Information (in whatever form it may be stored) and certify such destruction in writing. The return and/or destruction of Confidential Information will not relieve the Receiving Party of any of its other obligations under this Agreement.
