(c) by Fund, if the Company shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.2(a) and (B) is incapable of being cured by the Company or is not cured by the Company within 30 days following receipt of written notice from Fund of such breach or failure to perform; and
 
(d) by the Company, if Fund shall have breached or failed to perform in any material respect any of its representations, warranties, covenants or other agreements contained in this Agreement, which breach or failure to perform (A) would give rise to the failure of a condition set forth in Section 5.3(a) and (B) is incapable of being cured by Fund or is not cured by Fund within 30 days following receipt of written notice from the Company of such breach or failure to perform.
