Exceptions. The term "Confidential Information" shall not include any information which, as evidenced by Receiving Party's records:

(i) was known by the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party either itself or through receipt directly or indirectly from a source with no obligation of confidentiality to the Disclosing Party;

The Receiving Party will not disclose Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party to any person or entity other than its officers, employees, affiliates and agents who need access to such Confidential Information in order to effect the intent of this Agreement and who are subject to confidentiality obligations at least as stringent as the obligations set forth in this Agreement.
