Notwithstanding the foregoing, where the Confidential Information disclosed is: (a) the Disclosing Party’s trade secret, the Receiving Party will treat such information as Confidential Information for as long as the Confidential Information remains the Disclosing Party’s trade secret; or (b) required by law to be protected for a duration beyond that provided hereunder, the Receiving Party will maintain such information in confidence for the duration required by law.

The foregoing is Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the warranty set forth in this Section 10.2.
