(2)

Notwithstanding Section 6.12:

(a)

the Purchaser may disclose Confidential Information to (i) each of its Affiliates and (ii) its and their respective Representatives; provided, that prior to making any disclosure to a Representative, each such Representative has been informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and that the Purchaser shall be fully liable for any breach of this Agreement by its Affiliates and Representatives ;

(b)

the Company may disclose Confidential Information to (i) each of its Affiliates and (ii) its and their respective Representatives; provided, that prior to making any disclosure to a Representative, each such Representative has been informed of the confidential nature of the Confidential Information and that the Company shall be fully liable for any breach of this Agreement by its Affiliates and Representatives; and

(3)
