9.2. Termination of Agreement by ASSA ABLOY. ASSA ABLOY may terminate the Agreement by written notice to Customer in the event that (i) Customer fails to make any payment required within ten (10) days after receiving a written notice that such payment is past due, provided that such failure does not relate to a good faith dispute between the Parties regarding the amount due; (ii) Customer breaches any of its obligations under the Agreement, and has been given written notice of such default, and has not corrected the default within thirty (30) days of the date of the notice; or (iii) immediately upon registered letter if Customer commences bankruptcy proceedings, makes composition with its creditors, is subject to the appointment of an administrator or is subject to any other similar proceedings or otherwise proceedings that have the same or similar effects or if the other Party could reasonably be deemed to be insolvent. Without limiting ASSA ABLOY’s other rights in the Agreement, if ASSA ABLOY terminates the Agreement pursuant to this Clause 9.2, Customer will pay any unpaid fees covering the remainder of the current License Term. ASSA ABLOY reserves the right to terminate an End Customer’s use of a license to a Software or Product in the event that End Customer breaches an obligation set forth in an agreement between ASSA ABLOY and the End Customer, as applicable, and fails to cure such a breach within thirty (30) days after ASSA ABLOY sends written notice of such breach is such breach is capable of being cured, or immediately if the breach is not capable of being cured.

10. CONFIDENTIALITY

10.1. Confidentiality. Customer agrees to maintain and protect all Confidential Information and keep it confidential using the same degree of care that it exercises with respect to its own information of like importance but in no event less than reasonable care, and may use it only for the purposes for which it was provided under the Agreement. Except as expressly provided in the Agreement, Confidential Information may be disclosed only to Customer’s employees or contractors obligated to Customer under similar confidentiality restrictions and only for the purposes for which it was provided.

10.2. Remedy for Breach. Because of the unique nature of the Confidential Information, each Party agrees that the disclosing Party may suffer irreparable harm in the event the recipient fails to comply with its confidentiality obligations under the Agreement, and that monetary damages will be inadequate to compensate the disclosing Party for such breach. Accordingly, the recipient agrees, notwithstanding Clause 11.6, that the disclosing Party will, in addition to any other remedies available to it at law or in equity for breach of this Clause 10, be entitled to seek injunctive relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce such confidentiality obligations
