designs, business plans, business opportunities, finances, research, development, know-how,

and conditions of this Agreement, and the existence of the discussions between Recipient and

for the sole purpose of evaluation in connection with Recipient’s discussions with Apple
related to this Agreement. Recipient will not disclose, publish, or disseminate Confidential
Information to anyone other than Recipient’s employees and contractors who have a need to

and who are also bound by a written agreement that prohibits unauthorized disclosure or use
of Apple’s Confidential Information. In addition, Recipient may disclose such information to
its legal and financial advisers for the purpose of obtaining advice in connection with the
Project, provided that such disclosure is subject to a written confidentiality agreement or
other legally binding duty of confidentiality. Recipient agrees not to use Confidential
Information for any other purpose or for its own or any third party's benefit without the prior
written consent of an authorized representative of Apple in each instance. Recipient may
disclose Confidential Information to the extent required by law, including but not limited to
