The Licensee agrees to use the same degree of care with respect to the Confidential Information that it takes to hold in confidence its own most valuable proprietary information, but not less than reasonable care, to prevent any unauthorized use, disclosure, publication, or dissemination of the Confidential Information. The Licensee agrees to accept and use the Confidential Information only for the purpose of carrying out its authorized activities under this Agreement. In the event the Licensee is required to disclose the Confidential Information by an order of a court or governmental agency, then the Licensee shall first give written notice to Licensor to allow Licensor to make a reasonable effort to obtain a protective order or other confidential treatment for the Confidential Information.

   ARTICLE XII INDEMNITY Licensee will be solely responsible for any commercial or legal liability that may arise as a result of Licensee's exercise of any of the license rights granted by Licensor to Licensee under this Agreement, and Licensee shall defend, indemnify, and hold Licensor harmless from and against any and all suits, claims, proceedings, judgments, awards, damages, loss, liability, cost and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees and other related costs) that are incurred or suffered by Licensor or any of its affiliates, directors, officers, employees, or agents to the extent they arise or result, directly or indirectly, from (i) Licensee's exercise of any license or other rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement; (ii) the conduct of Licensee's business directly or through any affiliate of Licensee and/or (iii) the breach by the License of any representation, warranty, obligation, restriction, term and/or covenant under this Agreement.
