(c) Supernus further agrees that a breach of any of the covenants contained in this Section 8 will cause irreparable injury to HC Royalty, that HC Royalty has no adequate remedy at law in respect of such breach and, as a consequence, that each and every covenant contained in this Section 8 shall be specifically enforceable against Supernus, and Supernus
hereby waives and agrees not to assert any defenses against an action for specific performance of such covenants (other than any such defense based on the assertion that Supernus had performed and is performing such covenant(s)).
