  3. Protection of Confidential Information.

  4. Compelled Disclosure. If the Receiving Party is compelled by law or any listing or trading agreement concerning its publicly-traded securities to disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, it will provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of such compelled disclosure (to the extent legally permitted) and reasonable assistance, at Disclosing Party’s cost, if the Disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.

  5. Remedies. If the Receiving Party discloses or uses (or threatens to disclose or use) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in breach of confidentiality protections hereunder, the Disclosing Party will have the right, in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek injunctive relief to enjoin such acts, it being specifically acknowledged by the parties that any other available remedies are inadequate.

  6. Return of Materials. Upon termination of these Terms and all Contracts, or at the request of the Disclosing Party at any time during or after these Terms, the Receiving Party will deliver to the Disclosing Party or destroy and certify destruction (at the Disclosing Party’s election and in the manner designated by the Disclosing Party) all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.
