3.  Term.

The obligations of the Parties herein shall be effective for five (5) years from the date either Party last discloses any Confidential Information to the other Party pursuant to this Agreement. Further, the obligation not to disclose shall not be affected by bankruptcy, receivership, assignment, attachment or seizure procedures, whether initiated by or against either Party, or by the rejection of any agreement between the Parties, by a trustee of a Party in bankruptcy, or by a Party as a debtor-in-possession or the equivalent of any of the foregoing under local law.
