When used in this Agreement the term Confidential Information shall include individual elements of the Confidential Information and the provisions of this Agreement shall apply equally in relation to individual elements as they do to the entirety of the Confidential Information. Any compilation or combination of otherwise public information in a form not publicly known shall nevertheless be treated as Confidential Information. Confidential Information shall not include information that: (d) (e) (f) (g) is or becomes generally available to the public other than as a result of its disclosure by the Recipient or its Representatives in breach of this Agreement; or was, is or becomes available to the Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a person who is not bound, directly or indirectly, by an obligation of confidentiality towards the Disclosing Party or otherwise prohibited from disclosing the information to the Recipient; or was lawfully in the possession of the Recipient before the information was disclosed to it by the Disclosing Party; or is developed by or for the Recipient independently of the information disclosed by the Disclosing Party.

Where prior notice of the disclosure is prohibited, the Recipient shall only disclose that information which is strictly required to be disclosed. 2.4 No party shall make, or permit any person to make, any public announcement concerning this Agreement, the Purpose or its prospective interest in the Purpose without the prior written consent of the other party except as required by law or any governmental or regulatory authority or by any court or other authority of competent jurisdiction (including, without limitation, any relevant securities exchange). 2.5 If the Recipient knows or suspects on reasonable grounds that any of the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party has been used, disclosed or accessed by anybody in breach of this Agreement or outside the scope of the use, disclosure or access expressly permitted by this Agreement, it shall promptly notify the Disclosing Party and consult with the Disclosing Party regarding the action to be taken to limit any further unauthorised use, disclosure or access.

WARRANTIES 5.1 Each Disclosing Party warrants that: it has the right to disclose its Confidential Information to the Recipient and to authorise the Recipient to use such Confidential Information in connection with the Purpose; and so far as it is aware, the Confidential Information it discloses will not be misleading in any material respect.
