In the event of litigation relating to this Agreement, if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that a Party has breached this Agreement, then the non-breaching party may seek recovery of its reasonable legal fees, including any appeal, in addition to any other remedies to which the non-breaching party may be entitled.
