Each Recipient will ensure that Confidential Information will only be made available to those of its employees and agents (and, in the case of Shocal, its affiliates) who have a need to know such Confidential Information and who are bound by written obligations of confidentiality at least as protective of the Discloser as this Agreement before such individual has access to the Disclosers Confidential Information. Each Recipient will not, and will not authorise others to, remove, overprint or deface any notice of copyright, trademark, logo, legend, or other notices of ownership from any originals or copies of the Disclosers Confidential Information. The foregoing prohibition on disclosure of Confidential Information will not apply to the extent the Discloser has authorised such disclosure, nor to the extent a Recipient is required to disclose certain Confidential Information of the Discloser as a matter of law or by order of a court, provided that the Recipient gives the Discloser prior written notice of such obligation to disclose and reasonably assist in obtaining a protective order prior to making such disclosure.
