that the Receiving Party promptly provides the Disclosing Party notice and an
opportunity to seek a protective order.
Neither
Party shall disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any person
or entity without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as
required to do so by a government entity having proper jurisdiction over the
disclosing Party. The provisions of
this section shall survive for a period of five (5) years following any
