The receiving party may disclose the disclosing party’s Confidential Information to its employees, affiliates, consultants, subcontractors,
agents, or advisors (collectively known as “Representatives”) who have a strict need to access the Confidential Information for the purpose of performing under these Terms and only to those who are obligated to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information under terms that are at least as protective as the terms set forth in these Terms. Either party may disclose these Terms to potential parties to a bona fide fundraising, acquisition, or similar transaction solely for the purposes of the proposed transaction, provided that any such potential party is subject to written non-disclosure obligations and limitations on use that are no less protective than those set forth herein.

The receiving party acknowledges that the remedy at law for breach of these confidentiality provisions may be inadequate and that, in addition to any other remedy the disclosing party may have, it shall be entitled to seek equitable relief, including, without limitation, an injunction or injunctions (without the requirement of posting a bond, other security or any similar requirement or proving any actual damages), to prevent breaches or threatened breaches of these confidentiality provisions by the receiving party or any of its Representatives and to enforce the terms and provisions of this Section 6 in addition to any other remedy to which the disclosing party is entitled at law or in equity.

6.4 Compelled Disclosure. The receiving party may access and disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party if legally required to do so in connection with any legal proceeding or regulatory requirement; provided, however, that in such event
the receiving party will, if lawfully permitted to do so. The receiving party will provide only that portion of the Confidential Information that is legally required to be disclosed, and any Confidential Information so disclosed shall maintain its
confidentiality protection for all purposes other than such legally compelled disclosure.
