Each agency party to such an agreement shall agree to maintain confidentiality of information that is confidential under applicable statute or federal law and to take all reasonable steps to oppose any effort to secure disclosure of the information by such agency.

(4) "privilege" includes any work product, attorney client or other privilege recognized under federal or state law.
