Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is
not obtained, or that the other party waives compliance with the
provisions hereof, the receiving party agrees to furnish only that
portion of the Confidential Information which, as advised by written
opinion of counsel, is legally required and to exercise its best
efforts to obtain assurance that confidential treatment will be
accorded such Confidential Information including filing any requests
for confidential treatment as may be afforded under any law, rule or
