is at the time of disclosure or thereafter becomes published or otherwise part of the public domain without breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party;

 

(iii)

is subsequently disclosed to the receiving Party by a Third Party who has the right to make such disclosure; or

18.8Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, all Exhibits attached hereto, and the Quality Agreement (as the same may be amended from time to time by the written agreement of the Parties) constitute the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all other documents, agreements, verbal consents, arrangements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including that certain Non-Disclosure Agreement between the Parties dated as of March 16, 2015, and that certain letter agreement between the Parties dated as of February 18, 2016.  This Agreement shall not be amended orally, but only by an agreement in writing, signed by both Parties that states that it is an amendment to this Agreement.
