If the receiving party is nonetheless legally compelled or otherwise required to disclose, the receiving party will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required and shall make reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded any part of the Confidential Information so disclosed.
4.4 Return of Confidential Information. All documents and other tangible objects containing or representing Confidential Information that have been disclosed by either party to the other party, and all copies in the possession of the other party, are and will remain the property of the disclosing party. At the disclosing party’s written request, the receiving party shall promptly return or destroy all of those documents or objects; provided that, the receiving party may retain copies of such Confidential Information (i) for archival purposes, (ii) as required by applicable law, and (iii) to the extent such copes are electronically stored in accordance with the receiving party’s document retention or back-up policies or procedures (including, without limitation, those regarding electronic communications), in each case, so long as such Confidential Information is kept confidential as required under this Agreement.
