that is legally required to be disclosed.
- With the exception of any records that are legally or archivally required to be
kept, all Confidential Information within any copies

with reasonable disaster recovery procedures may still contain
the Confidential Information, though the concerned Party l shall continue to remain
bound by the obligations contained in this Agreement.
The Parties acknowledge and agree that any violation of this section may lead to
irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party, for which compensation
