The parties acknowledge that the intent of this suspension section is to give Affiliate the right to assert patents against Technology Licensee in the event that Technology Licensee asserts patents against Affiliate. Affiliate agrees that in the event that it asserts patents against a Technology Licensee, Affiliate will not request or demand an injunction with respect to patents unless Technology Licensee has requested or demanded an injunction as part of its assertion (or in subsequent related assertions). Affiliate further agrees that in the event that it asserts patents against a Technology Licensee, that any license terms for the patents will not exceed reasonable terms and conditions that are demonstrably free of any unfair discrimination, provided that Technology Licensee agrees to the same for any of the patents in its assertion.
6. Confidentiality. Each party will: (a) protect the other party’s Confidential Information with the same standard of care it uses to protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event less than reasonable care; and (b) not disclose the Confidential Information, except to affiliates, employees, agents and professional advisors who need to know it and who have agreed in writing (or in the case of professional advisors are otherwise bound) to keep it confidential.

Each party is responsible for any actions of its affiliates, employees and agents in violation of this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may disclose the other party's Confidential Information when required by law, but only after it, if legally permissible: (a) uses commercially reasonable efforts to notify the other party; and (b) gives the other party the chance to challenge the disclosure.
