confidential treatment therefor.
16.2 Each recipient party acknowledges and agrees that due to the
unique nature of the disclosing party's Confidential Information, there can be
no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations hereunder, that any
such breach may allow the recipient party or third parties to unfairly compete
with the disclosing party resulting in irreparable harm to the disclosing party
and, therefore, that upon any such breach or threat thereof, the disclosing
party shall be entitled to injunctive relief and other appropriate equitable
relief in addition to whatever remedies it may have at law, and to be
indemnified by the recipient party from any loss or harm (including, without
limitation, attorneys' fees) in connection with any breach or enforcement of the
recipient party's obligations hereunder or the unauthorized use or release of
any Confidential Information. The recipient party will notify the disclosing
party in writing immediately upon the occurrence of any such unauthorized
release or other breach of which it is aware.
