Except to the extent otherwise authorized by AFC, Adviser agrees to keep confidential all information coming into his possession in connection with the provision of Services that is not otherwise in the public domain and that belongs or relates to or emanates from the Company (“Confidential Information”). Nothing in this Agreement, however, shall prohibit Adviser, with or without AFC’s authorization, from producing documents, providing testimony or otherwise participating or cooperating in any judicial or administrative action, proceeding, investigation or other activity to the extent he is advised in writing by legal counsel that such document production, testimony, participation or cooperation is required under applicable law; provided, however, that Adviser shall give AFC reasonable prior written notice thereof unless Adviser is prohibited from doing so by such action, proceeding, investigation or other activity. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, Adviser shall return to AFC as soon as practicable thereafter, all documents, files, records and data, including electronically stored or transmitted data, and copies of the foregoing, in the possession or control of Adviser, except to the extent that AFC shall specifically consent to non-return of such materials, provided that return of such materials shall not relieve Adviser of his obligation to keep confidential all Confidential Information received at any time hereunder for as long as such information remains confidential, i.e., is not known to the general public.
