In particular, the provisions hereof relating to rights in patents and ownership of property shall survive such termination.

  b.Notwithstanding the foregoing, this Agreement may be terminated by either party at any time upon 180 days advance written notice to the other party; provided, however, that Sponsor may also terminate this Agreement pursuant to Section 2(a).  Upon receipt of notice of early termination by Sponsor, the University shall use reasonable efforts promptly to limit or terminate any outstanding commitments prior to the effective termination date.  All allowable costs associated with such termination and up through the date of termination, shall be reimbursed by Sponsor, including non-cancelable commitments, such as, where applicable, committed salary and benefits [**] for personnel shall be non-cancelable commitments.  In case of such termination, such amounts for such non-cancellable obligations shall be the limits of the Sponsor’s liability for payments to the University hereunder.

  c.If Sponsor breaches its obligation of payment and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days after receipt of notice in writing of such breach, then if such payment breach is 

  10

   

  

   

  not remedied in such thirty (30) day period, the University may, in addition to any other remedies that the University may have at law or in equity, terminate this Agreement by sending written notice of termination to Sponsor.
