(c) 16) will not be construed to prohibit the disclosure of Confidential Information if such disclosure is required by any governmental agency, administrative agency, tribunal, court or other quasi-judicial or regulatory body or is otherwise required by law or legal process; provided that, to the extent possible and legally permitted, the Recipient will give notice to the Discloser of such requirement, so that the Discloser has the opportunity to seek a protective order to prevent the disclosure of such information and the Recipient will comply with any such protective order.
