Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, the parties expressly acknowledge that the provisions of the following sections (“DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES, REMEDIES, AND INDEMNIFICATION” and “MISCELLANEOUS”) will survive the termination of this Agreement, and that the termination of this Agreement will not be deemed to extinguish, or construed as a waiver of our right to enforce any obligation that arose during the term of this Agreement.
