(d)           by ISL, upon a material breach of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement on the part of Granscal or the Granscal Shareholders set forth in this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty of Granscal or the Granscal Shareholders shall have become materially untrue, in either case such that the conditions set forth in Section 7.2 would not be satisfied as of the time of such breach or as of the time such representation or warranty shall have become untrue, provided, that if such inaccuracy in Granscal or the Granscal Shareholder’s representations and warranties or breach by Granscal or the Granscal Shareholders is curable by Granscal or the Granscal Shareholders, then ISL may not terminate this Agreement under this Section 8.1(d) unless Granscal does not cure such breach within thirty (30) days after delivery of written notice from ISL to Granscal of such breach, provided Granscal continues to exercise commercially reasonable efforts to cure such breach (it being understood that Granscal may not terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 8.1(d) if it shall have materially breached this Agreement or if such breach by Granscal is cured during such thirty (30)-day period); or
