such default. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if you breach your obligations in the section entitled "Software License" or the
section entitled "Confidentiality", then we shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately.

breach of such sections, such remedy being in addition to any other remedies available to such non-breaching party.
