Confidentiality Obligations. The Receiving Party shall treat as confidential all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and shall not use such Confidential Information except as expressly permitted under this Agreement or other agreements entered into between the Parties. Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care and means that it utilizes to protect its own information of a similar nature, but in any event not less than reasonable care and means, to prevent the unauthorized use or the disclosure of such Confidential Information to third parties. The Confidential Information may be disclosed only to employees, contractors, permitted assignees or sublicensees of the Receiving Party with a reasonable “need to know’’ and who are instructed and agree not to disclose the Confidential Information and not to use the Confidential Information for any purpose, except as set forth herein. Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent the Receiving Party from disclosing Confidential Information to the extent the Receiving Party is legally compelled to do so by any governmental investigative or judicial agency pursuant to proceedings over which such agency has jurisdiction, or in connection with the requirements of an initial public offering or securities filing; provided, however, that prior to any such disclosure, the Receiving Party shall # assert the confidential nature of the Confidential Information to the agency, # immediately notify the Disclosing Party in writing of the agency’s order or request to disclose, and # cooperate fully with the Disclosing Party in protecting against any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of the compelled disclosure and protecting its confidentiality.

The Receiving Party will hold in confidence and, without the consent of the Disclosing Party, will not use, reproduce, distribute, transmit, or disclose, directly or indirectly, the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party except as permitted herein. The Receiving Party may only disclose the Confidential Information to its officers, directors, employees, professional advisors and independent contractors and consultants with a direct need to know the information for the implementation or exercise of rights and/or performance of obligations under or arising from this Contract, provided that such persons/entities (other than officers, directors and employees) are bound by written confidentiality agreements with terms and conditions that are no less restrictive than those contained in this section. Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party agrees that it will exercise at least the same standard of care in protecting the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as it does with its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but in any event, no less than reasonable care.

Confidentiality Obligations. The Receiving Party agrees to treat all Confidential Information as the confidential and exclusive property of the Disclosing Party, and agrees not to disclose any of the Confidential Information to any third-party without first obtaining the written consent of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party agrees to limit access to Confidential Information to those of its directors, officers, employees, agents or other third-party who have a need to know such information and who have been informed of and are obligated in writing to maintain the confidential nature of such Confidential Information as set forth herein and not use it other than as permitted in this Agreement. In particular, and subject to the conditions of the preceding sentence, the Receiving Party may disclose intellectual property licensed to it herein to implement this Agreement and the rights and licenses granted hereunder. The provisions of this paragraph will survive for a period of ​ after the termination or expiration of this Agreement; provided, however, with respect to any trade secrets disclosed hereunder, the provisions of this paragraph will survive while the status of the trade secret remains. The Receiving Party will ensure that Confidential Information will not be used by its directors, officers, employees or agents for any other purpose other than as set forth herein. The above provisions of confidentiality will not apply to that part of Confidential Information, which the Receiving Party can demonstrate by documentary evidence:

The Parties recognize that, in connection with the performance of this Agreement, each Party (in such capacity, the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose “Confidential Information” (as defined below) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”). For purposes of this Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means # proprietary information (whether owned by the Disclosing Party or a third party to whom the Disclosing Party owes a non-disclosure obligation) regarding the Disclosing Party’s business or # information which is marked as confidential at the time of disclosure to the Receiving Party, or if in oral form, is identified as confidential at the time of oral disclosure and reduced in writing or other tangible (including electronic) form including a prominent confidentiality notice and delivered to the Receiving Party within 10 days of disclosure or # technical information including but not limited to source code, documents, and product plans. “Confidential Information” shall not include information which: # was known to the Receiving Party at the time of the disclosure by the Disclosing Party; # has become publicly known through no wrongful act of the Receiving Party; # has rightfully been received by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of this provision; or # has been independently developed by the Receiving Party without using any Confidential Information of the other Party. The Receiving Party agrees # not to use any such Confidential Information for any purpose other than in the performance of its obligations under this Agreement or any Transaction Document and # not to disclose any such Confidential Information, except # to its employees who are reasonably required to have the Confidential Information in connection herewith or with any of the other Transaction Documents, # to its agents, representatives, lawyers and other advisers that have a need to know such Confidential Information and # pursuant to, and to the extent of, a request or order by a Governmental Authority. The Receiving Party agrees to take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy and confidentiality of, and avoid disclosure or unauthorized use of, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

Permitted Disclosure and Use. The Receiving Party shall have the right to disclose Confidential Information if, # in the reasonable opinion of the Receiving Party’s legal counsel, such disclosure is required by any Applicable Laws, provided that the Receiving Party gives adequate prior notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party uses commercially reasonable efforts to seek confidential treatment of such Confidential Information and to limit the required disclosure to only that which is required; or # a court, tribunal, administrative agency or other Governmental Authority orders such disclosure, provided that the Receiving Party gives adequate prior notice of such disclosure to the Disclosing Party to permit the Disclosing Party to intervene and to request protective orders or other confidential treatment and to limit the scope of any potential disclosure. The Receiving Party will cooperate reasonably with any such efforts by the Disclosing Party. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Party may disclose Confidential Information # as necessary in connection with any financing, merger, sublicensing or similar transaction, subject to confidentiality substantially similar to that required in this Article 6, or as necessary to obtain legal or financial advice from its attorneys, and financial advisors who have an obligation of confidentiality to the Party; and # in connection with prosecuting or defending litigation, Regulatory Approvals, Pricing Approvals and other regulatory filings and communications, and filing, prosecuting and enforcing the Licensed Patents in connection with the Party’s rights and obligations pursuant to this Agreement, where each Party will use reasonable efforts to seek protective orders or other applicable confidentiality, and seek to limit the scope of disclosure, as to any such uses. The Parties shall also be permitted to make disclosures consistent with, and pursuant to, Sections 11.1 and 11.2.

A Party receiving Confidential Information (the “Receiving Party”) agrees to strictly keep secret any and all Confidential Information received during the Term from or on behalf of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) using at least the same level of measures as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in any case at least commercially reasonable and customary efforts. Confidential Information shall include information disclosed in any form including but not limited to in writing, orally, graphically or in electronic or other form to the Receiving Party, observed by the Receiving Party or its employees, agents, consultants, or representatives, or otherwise learned by the Receiving Party under this Agreement, which the Receiving Party knows or reasonably should know is confidential or proprietary.

Obligation; Term. Except to the extent otherwise expressly authorized by this Agreement, the Parties agree that, during the Term and thereafter, each Party (the “Receiving Party”) receiving any Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) hereunder will: # keep the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information confidential; # not disclose, or permit the disclosure of, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; and # not use, or permit to be used, the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information for any purpose other than as expressly permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

The receiving Party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing Party only to those of its employees or contractors who need to know such information. In addition, prior to any disclosure of such Confidential Information to any such employee or contractor, such employee or contractor shall be made aware of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and shall execute, or shall already be bound by, a non-disclosure agreement containing terms and conditions consistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. In any event, the receiving Party shall be responsible for any breach of the terms and conditions of this Agreement by any of its employees or contractors.

Confidentiality. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing, the Parties agree that, for the term of this Agreement and for three (3) years thereafter, each Party (the “Receiving Party”), receiving any Confidential Information of the other Party (the “Disclosing Party”) hereunder shall keep such Confidential Information confidential and shall not publish or otherwise disclose or use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement. “Confidential Information means any technical, scientific, regulatory, commercial, business or other information provided by or on behalf of the Disclosing Party to the Receiving Party pursuant to this Agreement or otherwise relating to or disclosed during any transaction contemplated hereby (including information disclosed prior to the Effective Date under a confidentiality agreement in contemplation of this Agreement), including information relating to the terms of this Agreement or the Product, and the scientific, regulatory or business affairs or other activities of either Party; provided that, Confidential Information shall not include any information that the Receiving Party can establish:

Confidentiality. The Receiving Party shall keep in confidence all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party with the same degree of care it employs to maintain the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information, but no less than a reasonable degree of care. The Receiving Party shall not use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than in performance of this Agreement, or in the case of Arcus as the Receiving Party, in accordance with the rights granted to Arcus under this Agreement, or disclose the same to any other Person other than to such of its Affiliates, its own and its Affiliates’ employees, agents, sublicensees and subcontractors (“Permitted Representatives”) who have a need to know such Confidential Information to implement the terms of this Agreement. A Receiving Party shall advise any Permitted Representative who receives Confidential Information of such obligations. The Receiving Party will be liable for breach of this Article 6 by any of its Permitted Representatives.
