15. In the event Wiskind becomes legally compelled (by oral questions, interrogatories, requests for information or documents, subpoena, investigative demand or similar process) to disclose any of the Confidential Information, Wiskind will provide the Company with prompt written notice thereof so that Company may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy and/or waive compliance with the provisions of this Agreement. In the event that such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or that Company waives compliance with the provisions of this Agreement, Wiskind covenants to furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which he is legally required to disclose and will exercise his best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.

Cianchetti, and expressly warrant, represent and agree that this Agreement is a full, final and complete Release as to any involved tortfeasors, known or unknown, whether identified or not identified in this Agreement.
