7. 接受方应知悉，若发生违反本协议的行为，披露方将遭受无可挽回的损失，无任何的法律补救

措施能提供足够的保护，对此种伤害也无适当的补偿。因此，接受方特此同意披露方有权以特殊方式履行本协议的义务，不受指令约束，也可经有管辖权的法院发布特殊的补救办法。

return all written Confidential Information that was furnished to Recipient by the Disclosing Party or on the Disclosing Party’s behalf and, unless otherwise required by law or regulation (but only to the extent so required), Recipient shall destroy all analyses, compilations, forecasts, studies or other documents prepared by Recipient which contain or reflect any of such information and certify in writing as to such destruction.

9. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, if Recipient is compelled to

disclose any Confidential Information pursuant to a valid order of a court or other governmental body or is otherwise required by law or regulation or legal or judicial process to disclose

Confidential Information, Recipient may disclose such portion of the Confidential Information as Recipient is legally required to disclose in the opinion of counsel and only to the extent required, provided, so long as it is lawful to do so, Recipient shall first give notice to the Disclosing Party in order to allow the Disclosing Party to obtain a protective order and shall use its best efforts to cooperate with the Disclosing Party in connection therewith.
