5.2 Use of Confidential Information. The Confidential Information will only be used by Receiving Party for the purposes of performing the Services contemplated by this Agreement.

5.3 Protection of Confidential Information. Receiving Party will protect the disclosed Confidential Information by using the same degree of care, but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or publication of the Confidential Information as Receiving Party uses to protect its own confidential information of a like nature.

5.4 Irreparable Harm in the Event of Disclosure. Receiving Party agrees that any impending or actual disclosure of any Confidential Information in violation of the terms of this Agreement would cause Disclosing Party immediate or irreparable injury, loss and damage for which an adequate remedy at law may not exist. Therefore, Receiving Party agrees that, in the event of a disclosure or threatened disclosure of Confidential Information, the Disclosing Party may, in addition to any other remedies to which it may be entitled, institute and prosecute proceedings in a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain temporary and/or permanent injunctive relief to enforce any provision therefore, without the necessity of proving actual injury, loss or damage, or of posting a bond.

5.5 Use of Company Equipment and Information. Company may provide Consultant with use of electronic devices, e.g., laptop computers, and key cards to Company premises (“collectively Company Equipment”) during the term of this Agreement.
