Where the marketing resources and corporate identity are not in substantial compliance with the written specifications set forth in the Statement of Work, Company may, within five (5) days after Sudjam’s delivery of the marketing resources to Company, reject such marketing resources. Unless Company provides Sudjam with a written rejection within such period, the marketing resources shall be deemed to have been accepted by Company. Within five (5) business days after any such rejection, Company shall specifically identify all non-conforming aspects of the marketing resources in writing and provide Sudjam with such writing. Sudjam shall then use reasonable efforts to modify the marketing resources as necessary to cause the marketing resources to comply with the written specifications set forth in the Statement of Work or otherwise become acceptable to Company.

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event this Agreement is terminated due to such non­compliance Company shall, at Company’s election, either (i) pay Sudjam for any amounts remaining due from Company as of the date of Termination and Company shall, upon payment therefore, acquire all rights in and to the marketing resources as of the date of such Termination, or (ii) require Sudjam to refund any amounts paid by Company to Sudjam for the marketing resources as of the Termination date (less all expenses and outside vendor fees paid by Sudjam as of the date of such termination) and Company shall relinquish any and all rights in and to the marketing resources.
 
(e) In the event Company elects to acquire the rights in the marketing resources developed as of the date of termination, Sudjam shall invoice Company for any amounts remaining due from Company and Company shall pay such invoice within thirty (30) days of receipt thereof. In consideration therefore, Sudjam shall provide Company with all specs and materials respecting the marketing resources developed as of such date.
