b. information that is or was already known to the receiving Party at the time of disclosure, as shown by written records, without any obligation to keep it confidential

d. information that at the time of being disclosed or obtained by the receiving Party or at any time thereafter, is published or otherwise generally available to the public other than due to default by the receiving Party of its obligations hereunder; and
