The term “person” as used in this letter agreement will be interpreted broadly to include the media (electronic, print or otherwise), the Internet, any governmental representative or authority, as well as any entity or individual.

Attorney-Client Privilege - To the extent that any Evaluation Material may include material subject to the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or any other applicable privilege concerning pending or threatened legal proceedings or governmental investigations, the parties understand and agree that they have a commonality of interest with respect to such matters and it is their desire, intention and mutual understanding that the sharing of such material is not intended to, and shall not, waive or diminish in any way the confidentiality of such material or its continued protection under the attorney-client privilege, work product doctrine or other applicable privilege.

The Receiving Party shall certify the destruction of all Evaluation Material destroyed as provided in this paragraph in writing to the Disclosing Party. With respect to all information in electronic form, the term “destroyed,” as used herein, shall mean that all Representatives of the Receiving Party having access to the same shall have deleted the same from their personal computer e-mail and electronic drives containing Evaluation Material. Notwithstanding any such writing or written notice or such return or destruction of the Evaluation Material, the Receiving Party and its Permitted Disclosees will continue to be bound by this letter agreement.

The Receiving Party will cooperate with the Disclosing Party in a reasonable best efforts manner to obtain a protective order or such other remedy and use reasonable best efforts to resist, narrow or limit the scope of any such necessary, required or compelled disclosure. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained or the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the provisions of this letter agreement, the Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of the Evaluation Material which the Receiving Party is advised by counsel in writing is required to be disclosed, and the Receiving Party will exercise all reasonable best efforts to obtain reasonable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Evaluation Material so furnished.

Securities Laws Restrictions - The Receiving Party hereby acknowledges that it is aware, and that it will advise its Representatives who are informed as to the matters which are the subject of this letter agreement, that applicable securities laws prohibit any person in possession of material non-public information concerning an issuer from purchasing or selling securities of such issuer or from communicating such information to any other person under circumstances in which it is reasonably foreseeable that such person is likely to purchase or sell such securities.
