Excluded is information that: (a) is or becomes publicly available through no breach of this undertaking; (b) was already in the Receiving Party's possession prior to disclosure; (c) is independently developed without reference to the Confidential Information; or (d) must be disclosed by law, provided the Disclosing Party receives prompt prior written notice where permitted.
3. Obligations of the Receiving Party
