(e) Equitable Relief. The Buyer hereby agrees and acknowledges that any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement regarding the treatment of the Confidential Information will result in irreparable harm to the Seller for which there will be no adequate remedy at law. In addition to other remedies provided by law or at equity, in such event the Seller shall be entitled to seek an injunction, without the necessity of posting a bond, to prevent any further breach of this Agreement by the Buyer.
(f) Unauthorized Use or Disclosure of Confidential Information. In the event the Buyer discovers that any Confidential Information has been used, disseminated or published in violation of this Agreement, it will immediately notify the Seller, take all commercially reasonable actions available to minimize the impact of the use, dissemination or publication, and take any and all necessary steps to prevent any further breach of this Agreement.
