9. Confidentiality. 
   9.1 Definition of Confidential Information.  As used herein, “Confidential Information” means any nonpublic or proprietary information disclosed by a Party (“Discloser”) to the other Party (“Recipient”) (including prior to the Effective Date), whether orally or in writing, that:  (i) is marked or declared “Confidential” or “Proprietary” or in some other manner to indicate its confidential nature; or (ii) based upon the facts and circumstances of the disclosure, information that a reasonable person would consider confidential.  For clarity, this Agreement, all nonpublic Botrista IP and all pricing information under this Agreement or an applicable Order, is the Confidential Information of Botrista.  Confidential Information does not include any information that:  (a) was publicly available prior to the time of disclosure by the Discloser; (b) becomes publicly available after disclosure by the Discloser to the Recipient through no action or inaction of the Recipient; (c) is already in the lawful possession of the Recipient at the time of disclosure, as shown by documentation; (d) is obtained by the Recipient from a third party without a breach of such third party’s obligations of confidentiality; or (e) is independently developed by the Recipient without use of or reference to the Discloser’s Confidential Information.
   9.2 Protection of Confidential Information.  Recipient will:  (i) use the same degree of care that it uses to protect the confidentiality of its own confidential information of like kind (but in no event less than reasonable care); (ii) not use any Confidential Information for any purpose outside the scope of this Agreement; and (iii) only disclose Confidential Information of the Discloser to those of its and its Affiliates’ employees, contractors, and agents (“Representative(s)”) who are bound in writing by confidentiality obligations at least as protective as this Agreement and need such access for purposes consistent with this Agreement.  If any Representative discloses or uses Confidential Information other than as authorized in this Agreement, Recipient will be liable to Discloser for such disclosure or use to the same extent that Recipient would have been liable had Recipient performed such unauthorized disclosure or use.
   9.3 Compelled Access or Disclosure.  Notwithstanding any language to the contrary, if Recipient is required to disclose Confidential Information pursuant to a valid judicial or administrative order, Recipient may make such disclosure on the condition that Recipient:  (i) provides timely written notice of such order to Discloser and reasonably cooperates with any efforts by Discloser to contest or limit the scope of such order; and (ii) uses all reasonable efforts to limit the disclosure of such Confidential Information and seek a protective order or an equivalent order to prevent or protect the disclosure of such Confidential Information.

    11.8 Severability; Counterparts.  Each provision contained in this Agreement constitutes a separate and distinct provision severable from all other provisions.  If any provision (or any part thereof) of this Agreement is unenforceable under or prohibited by any present or future law, then such provision (or part thereof) will be amended, and is hereby amended, so as to be in compliance with such law, while preserving to the maximum extent possible the intent of the original provision.  Any provision (or part thereof) of this Agreement that cannot be so amended will be severed from this Agreement; and, all the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain unimpaired.  This Agreement may be executed simultaneously by the Parties with any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.  Execution of this Agreement may be accomplished by signing, including via electronic signature, and transmitting the signature page to the other Party.
    11.9 Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together with the Exhibits attached hereto and referenced herein, constitutes the complete, final and exclusive agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all prior or contemporaneous oral or written representations, understandings, agreements, or communications between them concerning the subject matter hereof.
