<br />regulation, tariff or a requirement of a governmental authority, or in connection with an
<br />arbitration or mediation, such Confidential Information may be disclosed pursuant to such
<br />requirement so long as the party required to disclose the Confidential Information, to the extent
<br />possible, provides the disclosing party with timely prior written notice of such requirement and
<br />coordinates with the disclosing party in an effort to limit the nature and scope of such required
<br />disclosure. Upon written request at the expiration or termination of an Attachment or order, all
<br />documented Confidential Information (and all copies thereof) owned by the requesting party (if
<br />previously received by the terminating party) will be returned to the requesting party or will be
<br />destroyed, with written certification thereof being given to the requesting party. The provisions
<br />of this Section shall remain in effect during the term of the Agreement and shall survive the
