Promptly upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, IgDraSol shall transfer to STI copies of all records requested by STI.
2.6 Subcontracting. IgDraSol shall not subcontract or otherwise delegate any of its obligations under this Agreement without STIs express prior written consent, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Upon receipt of such consent, before allowing any such subcontractor to begin performing such task, IgDraSol shall enter into a written agreement with such subcontractor that obligates such subcontractor to be bound by the applicable terms and conditions of this Agreement, in the same manner as such terms and conditions apply to IgDraSol. All such subcontractors shall be retained directly by IgDraSol and no contractual relationship shall be created between STI and subcontractors. STI shall have no obligation to pay any subcontractor, and IgDraSol shall do so using the payment submitted by STI as part of the overall budget set forth in the Development Plan. As between STI and IgDraSol, IgDraSol shall be the Party obligated and responsible for the performance of all Services hereunder, regardless of whether any portion of such Services is delegated pursuant to this Section 2.6.

IgDraSol shall ensure that each of its employees and consultants who will have access to any Confidential Information or perform any Services are bound by contractual obligations (either through their employment contract, consultant contract or other written agreement with IgDraSol) that protects STIs rights and interests to at least the same degree as this Agreement.
2.8 Materials. STI shall be responsible for providing IgDraSol with sufficient amounts of the Materials for IgDraSol to perform the Services. Title to the Materials shall remain with STI. IgDraSol shall use the Materials solely to perform the Services under the Development Plan and for no other purpose, and in compliance with STIs instructions and Applicable Laws.

Neither Party shall disclose to the other Party any confidential or proprietary information that belongs to any third party unless the disclosing Party first obtains the consent of such third party.

7.6 Injunctive Relief. The Parties expressly acknowledge and agree that any breach or threatened breach of this Section 7 by one Party may cause immediate and irreparable harm to the other Party that may not be adequately compensated by damages.
