In the event of any breach of the confidentiality provisions of this Section 4, the non-breaching party may be irreparably and immediately harmed and might not be made whole by monetary damages. The non-breaching party may be entitled to seek equitable relief by way of injunction, specific performance or similar remedy in addition to any other remedies that may be available to it from a court of competent jurisdiction to prevent or restrain breaches of this Section.
