d. was developed independently by the recipient;
e. becomes known to the recipient by a third party who has the right to disclose the information without violating any confidentiality obligations; or

All provisions of this Agreement relating to Confidential Information Disclosure disclosed pursuant to this Agreement prior to termination shall survive.
