(b) Licensee shall not copy, translate, disassemble, or decompile, nor create or attempt to create, by reverse engineering or otherwise, the source code from the object code of the Software. In the event source code is provided to Licensee, SAP, in its sole discretion, reserves the right to delete, or to require the deletion of, such source code and all copies thereof in Licensee's possession or control whenever a future Release, Version, or Correction Level provides for like functionality in an object code format.

6.2 PROTECTION OF PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.

Neither party shall,


without the other party's prior written consent, disclose, provide, or make available any of the Proprietary Information of the other party in any form to any person, except to its bona fide employees, officers, directors, consultants, service providers or third parties whose access is necessary to enable such party to exercise its rights hereunder. Each party agrees that prior to disclosing any Proprietary Information of the other party to any third party, it will obtain from that third party a written acknowledgment that such third party will be bound by the same terms as specified in this Section 6 with respect to the Proprietary Information and naming SAP or Licensee, as the case may be, as a third party beneficiary. To the extent any Proprietary Information is required to be disclosed pursuant to a requirement of a government agency, a court exercising proper jurisdiction, or by operation of law, rule, or regulation the disclosing party may make such disclosure provided that the disclosing party will promptly notify the other party in writing prior to making any such disclosure in order to facilitate the non-disclosing party seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy from the proper authority. The disclosing party agrees to cooperate with the other party in seeking such order or other remedy. The disclosing party further agrees that if the other party is not successful in precluding the requesting legal body from requiring the disclosure of the Proprietary Information, it will furnish only that portion of the Proprietary Information which is, in the opinion of its counsel, required and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded the Proprietary Information.
