Failure to comply with this Section 8.1 is a material breach of Agreement and Seller may, in its discretion, exercise any and all rights, remedies, powers and privileges afforded by applicable law or in equity.
8.2    Right of First Refusal. With respect to each Engine, for a period of [*] from the manufacture date of the Engine, in the event Buyer decides to transfer, sell, or otherwise dispose of the Engine in an arm’s length transaction to an independent third party, Buyer agrees to grant Seller the right of first refusal to purchase the Engine at the price and upon substantially the same terms offered by the third party.

8.3    Engine On-Sell. With respect to each Engine, for a period of [*] from the manufacture date of the Engine, if Seller elects not to exercise its Right of First Refusal in connection with a proposed sale, assignment, transfer, or other disposal of an Engine to a third party (the “Purchaser”), Buyer agrees that: (i) the agreement for such sale, assignment, transfer, or other disposal of the Engine to the Purchaser strictly covenants the Purchaser from disassembling the Engine into parts to be used or sold separately for a period equal to [*] from birth, (ii) such agreement will make Seller a third party beneficiary of such commitment by the Purchaser, and (iii) if the Purchaser seeks to resell such Engine, it shall abide by the terms set forth herein. Buyer’s failure to comply with this Section 8.3 constitutes a material breach of this Agreement and will cause irreparable harm to Seller. In the event of any breach or threatened breach of such obligation, Seller, without prejudice to any other rights or remedies it may have herein, at law or in equity, will be entitled to equitable relief, including injunction and/or specific performance.
