This provision will continue to be effective after the termination of this Agreement.

The damages arising out of any breach of this confidentiality provision are and will be extremely difficult to ascertain, and therefore the Client to this Agreement agrees that any breach of this Paragraph five (5) will result in an award of liquidated damages in the amount of $1,000 per breach as damages and not as a penalty, in addition to any other remedies available to the non-breaching party (including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys’ fees).
