18.3 Third Party Disclosure. Either party may disclose Confidential Information of the disclosing party to those Affiliates, agents and consultants who need to know such information to accomplish the purposes of this Agreement (collectively, "Permitted Recipients"); provided that such Permitted Recipients are bound to maintain such Confidential Information in confidence to the same extent as set forth in Section 18.1.
18.4 Litigation and Governmental Disclosure.

18.6 Publicity and SEC Filings. The parties agree that the public announcement of the execution of this Agreement shall only be by one or more press releases mutually agreed to by the parties. The failure of a party to return a draft of a press release with its proposed amendments or modifications to such press release to the other party within five (5) calendar days of such party's receipt of such press release shall be deemed as such party's approval of such press release as received by such party. Each party agrees that it shall cooperate fully and in a timely manner with the other with respect to all disclosures to the Securities and Exchange Commission and any other governmental or regulatory agencies, including requests for confidential treatment of Confidential Information of either party included in any such disclosure.
