- 4.2.Each Party agrees that it will not disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to any third party and will protect the Confidential Information with at least the level of care it takes to protect its own confidential information of similar value, but in no event with less than reasonable care. The receiving party will use the Confidential Information solely for the purpose of fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement and will not use the Confidential Information for its own benefit or the benefit of any third party, except to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement.

The receiving party may make Confidential Information available to its attorneys, accountants and other advisers with a need to know, and who are contractually obligated, or have a fiduciary responsibility, to protect such information. The receiving party is liable for any acts or omissions of its attorneys, accountants and other advisors. In the event any law or government entity compels the disclosure of any Confidential Information, the receiving party may disclose such Confidential Information only if it gives the disclosing party prompt notice of its intent to disclose the Confidential Information and reasonably cooperate (at the receiving party’s expense) to assist in eliminating or minimizing the disclosure.

- 4.5.Each party hereby grants to the other a limited, nonexclusive license to use such party’s trademarks as may be provided by it solely for purposes of identifying the other party’s products and services in connection with the exercise of rights under this Agreement.
