Seller shall not disclose and shall maintain the confidentiality of (and shall cause his Affiliates to not disclose and to maintain the confidentiality of) any non-public information which relates to the business, legal or financial affairs of the Company (the "Confidential Information "). Seller shall use at least the same degree of care to safeguard and to prevent the disclosure, publication or dissemination of the Confidential Information as he employs to avoid unauthorized disclosure, publication or dissemination of his own information of a similar nature, but in no case less than reasonable care. In the event that Seller (or any Affiliate) is requested or required (by oral question, interrogatory, request for information or documents, subpoena, civil investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any Confidential Information, Seller shall (a) notify the Company promptly so that the Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and (b) cooperate with the Company in any effort the Company undertakes to obtain a protective order or other remedy. In the event that no such protective order or other remedy is obtained, the applicable party shall disclose to the person compelling disclosure only that portion of the Confidential Information which such party is advised by counsel is legally required and shall exercise commercially reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment is accorded the Confidential Information so disclosed.
