c. The parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of this Agreement by either party will cause continuing and irreparable injury to the other’s business as a direct result of any such violation, for which the remedies at law will be inadequate, and that Disclosing Party shall therefore be entitled, in the event of any actual or threatened violation of this Agreement by Receiving Party, and in addition to any other remedies available to it, to seek to obtain a temporary restraining order and to injunctive relief against the other party to prevent any violations thereof, and to any other appropriate equitable relief.

In the event of a material breach of this Agreement by either party that is of a type or nature that is not capable of being cured (such as, by way of example and not limitation, an obligation relating to Confidential Information), the non-breaching party may terminate this Agreement and said termination will be effective upon notice to the breaching party

c. Those provisions that by their nature should survive termination of this Agreement, will survive termination.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing statement, the following sections shall survive expiration or termination of this Agreement: 2b, 3, 4 (to the extent Fees remain outstanding), 5, 6, 7, 8d, 8e, and 9 through 12.

b. Each Indemnitor’s indemnification obligations hereunder shall be conditioned upon the Indemnitee providing the Indemnitor with: (i) prompt written notice of any claim (provided that a failure to provide such notice shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnity obligations if the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure); (ii) the option to assume sole control over the defense and settlement of any claim (provided that the Indemnitee may participate in such defense and settlement at its own expense); and (iii) reasonable information and assistance in connection with such defense and settlement (at the Indemnitor’s expense)
