<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
