  2. If to comply with Section 8.1 Developer is required to disclose Confidential Information to its Representatives, it will restrict such access to those who have a need to know for the purposes of this Agreement and only if the Representative is under an obligation of confidentiality no less stringent than those contained in this Agreement. Before each such disclosure, the Developer will advise such Representatives of the sensitive and confidential nature of the Confidential Information. The Developer will be liable for any failure by its Representatives to comply with the terms of this Agreement.
  3. The provisions of this Section 8 will not apply to any information that: (i) Developer  can establish, by documentary evidence, was already known by Developer at the time of initial disclosure by Newforma; (ii) is or becomes publicly known through no wrongful act of Developer or its Representatives, or any other person subject to a confidentiality agreement in favour of Newforma; (iii) is rightfully received from a third party without similar restriction provided that the third party did not come into possession of the Confidential Information as a result, directly or indirectly, of a breach of an obligation of confidentiality owed by any person to Newforma; (iv) Developer can establish, by documentary evidence, was independently developed by or on behalf of Developer  without reference to Newforma’s Confidential Information; or (v) is approved for release by written authorization of Newforma.
  4.

Developer will disclose only such information as is required, in the opinion of its counsel, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain confidential treatment for any Confidential Information that is so disclosed.
  5. All Confidential Information will remain as between the parties the exclusive property of Newforma, and Developer will have no rights, by license or otherwise, to use the Confidential Information except as expressly provided herein.
  6.

  7. Developer hereby covenants and agrees that it will indemnify and save each of Newforma and its affiliates, and their respective directors, officers and employees harmless, from and against any and all liability, loss, damages, claims, costs and expenses (including without limitation legal fees) that they may at any time incur, suffer or be required to pay arising out of or in any way related to a breach of this Section 8 by Developer, its affiliates or its Representatives.
  8. Developer acknowledges that disclosure or use of Confidential Information in violation of this Agreement could cause irreparable harm to Newforma for which monetary damages may be difficult to ascertain or be an inadequate remedy. Developer therefore agrees that Newforma will have the right, in addition to its other rights and remedies, to seek injunctive relief for any violation of this Agreement.
