Such license shall immediately terminate upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, and in any such termination Client shall return, or destroy, at Company’s election, any Intellectual Property held at that time by Client as soon as commercially practicable, but in no event more than five (5) business days following such termination.

  1. Miscellaneous.

  1. Waiver.
