The cost of such outside consulting services shall be reimbursed as an out-of-pocket expense in addition to the fees otherwise payable under this paragraph 3.

If either party commits any breach of this Agreement, other than those described in Section 15.1 above, or if either party commits any of the breaches described in such section on a repeated basis so as to materially frustrate the reasonable business expectations of the other party in respect of this Agreement, the other party may, if such breach is not cured within 30 days after the complaining party gives notice of such breach to the party in breach, terminate this Agreement. Such remedy shall be in addition to any other remedy which may be available under applicable law or the terms hereof for such breach. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the nature of the breach complained of is such that its cure may be reasonably expected to take more than 30 days to execute, no right to terminate shall accrue so long as the party in breach shall have commenced its efforts to effect a cure and shall be diligently pursuing such efforts. Neither party shall have any liability to the other party for the services provided hereunder except for the payment defaults described in Section 15.1 above. 16. CONFIDENTIALITY. The parties hereby covenant and agree to hold in trust and maintain confidential all Confidential Information relating to the other party or any of its Affiliates.
