(b) maintain the Confidential Information in strict confidence and not disclose it to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party;
(c) take all reasonable measures to protect the secrecy of and avoid disclosure or unauthorized use of the Confidential Information, which shall be no less than the care it uses to protect its own confidential information;
(d) limit access to the Confidential Information to its employees, directors, officers, agents, and professional advisors who have a need to know such information for the purpose of carrying out the Potential Transaction and who are bound by confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than those contained herein.
