4.2 Non-Disclosure. Each Party will protect the other Party’s Confidential Information from unauthorized use or dissemination and use the same degree of care that each such Party uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no event less than a reasonable amount of care.

Neither Party will disclose to third parties Confidential Information of the other Party without prior written consent of such other Party.

The receiving Party shall provide reasonable assistance, at the disclosing Party’s cost, if the disclosing Party wishes to contest the disclosure.
4.5 Remedy/Injunctive Relief. The Parties acknowledge that disclosure of any Confidential Information may give rise to irreparable injury to the Party whose information is disclosed, which injury may be inadequately compensated in damages. Therefore, either Party may seek injunctive relief against the other Party’s breach or threatened breach of this Section 4 as well as any other legal remedies that are available.
