Upon request, Company will promptly provide TherapeuticsMD with a fully-executed unredacted copy of each such Subcontract. Company will oversee all Services performed by any Subcontractor, and will be responsible for such Services as if such Services were performed by Company under this Agreement. If any Subcontractor materially breaches such Subcontract or this Agreement, Company will: (a) notify TherapeuticsMD of such breach as soon as possible, but in no event later than three (3) business days after Company becomes aware of such breach, and include in such notice all information then in Company’s possession or control related to such breach; (b) use best efforts to enforce the Subcontract, including seeking immediate injunctive relief in the case of any breach of such Subcontractor’s confidentiality obligations; and (c) cooperate with TherapeuticsMD fully if TherapeuticsMD elects to pursue legal action directly against such Subcontractor.

Company will not implement any changes or additional Services until both Parties have signed the amended SOW.

Notwithstanding any non-extension of this Agreement, should the Term of an SOW extend beyond the date on which this Agreement would otherwise expire, then the Term will continue until the expiration or termination of such SOW.
8.2 Termination by Company. In addition to any other remedies provided herein or available at law or in equity, Company may terminate any or all of the SOW(s) in the event of any material breach of this Agreement by TherapeuticsMD, which breach is not cured within sixty (60) days following TherapeuticsMD’s receipt of written notice of breach from Company or upon 90 days notice or as otherwise mutually agreed. Any breach notice will set forth in detail the elements of the claimed breach. The termination date of an SOW will be the day after the expiration of the cure period.
8.3 Termination by TherapeuticsMD. In addition to any other remedies provided herein or available at law or in equity, TherapeuticsMD may terminate this Agreement or any or all of the SOW(s) by giving Company 90 days written notice of termination or as otherwise agreed by the Parties.

The Parties acknowledge that in the event of a breach of this Agreement, the non-breaching Party may suffer irreparable damage that may not be fully remedied
7
by monetary damages. The Parties therefore agree that such non-breaching Party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief against any such breach in any court of competent jurisdiction and the breaching Party will be responsible for all reasonable costs associated with such injunctive relief, provided that the non-breaching Party prevails in the substantive action. In the event that non-breaching Party is successful, the non-breaching Party’s rights under this Section 8.5 will not in any way be construed to limit or restrict its rights to seek other damages or relief available under this Agreement or applicable law.
8.6 Payment upon Termination. In the event of early termination of this Agreement by TherapeuticsMD, other than for termination as a result of a material breach of this Agreement or a failure to comply with an SOW or TherapeuticsMD’s written instructions, (a) TherapeuticsMD will (i) pay Company for Services actually performed prior to the effective date of termination, and (ii) reimburse Company for expenses that were approved by TherapeuticsMD and incurred by Company prior to the effective date of termination that are not cancellable by Company, and (b) to the extent that TherapeuticsMD has pre-paid fees to Company for Services subsequently terminated, Company will refund the difference between such pre-payment and actual approved fees and costs actually incurred by Company, which are not cancellable, through the date of termination.
