Except as required by Law, or otherwise as mutually agreed to in writing by the Parties, the Receiving Party shall: (i) protect and safeguard the confidentiality of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care as the Receiving Party would protect its own Confidential Information, but in no event with less than a commercially reasonable degree of care; (ii) not use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information, or permit it to be accessed or used, for any purpose other than to perform its obligations under this Agreement; (iii) not disclose any such Confidential Information to any person or entity, except to the Receiving Party's Representatives who (a) need to know the Confidential Information to assist the Receiving Party, or act on its behalf, in exercising its rights or performing its obligations under this Agreement; (b) are informed by the Receiving Party of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information; and (c) are subject to confidentiality duties or obligations to the Receiving Party that are no less restrictive than the tem1s and conditions of this Agreement; (iv) promptly notify the Disclosing Party of any unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information or other breaches of this Agreement by the Receiving Patty or its Representatives of which the Receiving Patty has knowledge; (v) fully cooperate with the Disclosing Party in any effort undertaken by the Disclosing Party to enforce its rights related to any such unauthorized disclosure; and (vi) be responsible for any breach of this Article caused by any of its Representatives, affiliates or third parties.

23.              Waiver.   The failure of either Party to insist on the strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right, power or remedy upon a breach hereof shall not constitute a waiver of any provision of this Agreement or limit such Party's right thereafter to enforce any provision or exercise any right.

24.               Modification.   No modification of this Agreement shall be valid unless made in writing and duly executed by both Parties.

25.              Severability.   If one of the provisions herein is declared null or invalid for execution, for any reason, such invalidity shall not affect the validity of the Agreement unless the provision in question is not separable.
