4. Confidential Treatment, and Non-Use, of Confidential Materials.

Recipient agrees that, during the term of this Agreement, without the prior written consent of the Disclosing Party, Recipient will not, directly or indirectly, for its own benefit or the benefit of another, disclose or reveal to any other person, firm, venture, corporation or other business entity, or make, directly or indirectly, any commercial or other use of any of the Confidential Materials either during the course of its activities in connection with the Business Purpose or at anytime thereafter.
