Responsibility for the costs of the arbitration proceeding shall be determined in the discretion of the arbitration panel. The Parties shall keep all details of the arbitration proceeding and arbitral award strictly confidential and shall use all reasonable efforts to take such action as may be appropriate to prevent the unauthorized disclosure of the proceedings, any information disclosed in connection therewith and the award granted, including requiring all participants (including any witnesses) to agree to abide by such confidentiality. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Party shall be precluded from applying to a court of competent jurisdiction for any relief in the nature of injunction, specific performance, or other equitable remedy.
