Any copies which are made shall be identified as belonging to the disclosing party and marked "confidential," "proprietary," or with a similar legend. PERIOD OF CONFIDENTIALITY.

(b) The failure of either party to enforce any right resulting from breach of any provision of this Agreement by the other party shall not be deemed a waiver of any right relating to a subsequent breach of such provision or of any other right hereunder.
