Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party shall
(1)Hold in confidence and not disclose any Confidential Information to third parties and

The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.
