In the event the Receiving Party is required to disclose Confidential Information received from the Disclosing Party by law or legal process, including a subpoena, court order or similar document, the Receiving Party will use all reasonable efforts to notify the Disclosing Party of the obligation to make such disclosure sufficiently in advance of the disclosure so that the Disclosing Party will have a reasonable opportunity to object.
