18.1.3 co-operate fully with Voltex Computers in protecting against any such disclosure and/or obtaining a protective order narrowing the scope of such disclosure and/or use of the Confidential Information. In the event that such protection is not obtained the Customer may disclose the Confidential Information only to the extent necessary to comply with applicable legal requirements.
