not apply to any information that you can establish is in the public domain (and did
not fall into the public domain as a result of your violation of law, or breach of
this Agreement or any other confidentiality agreement), or was in your possession
before you gained access to it at the IC Source Site, or was received from a third
party who was in lawful possession of it without any confidentiality restrictions.
Nothing in this Agreement shall prevent you from disclosing information obtained at

access to the IC Source Site is suspended, you shall continue to be bound by all
