The General Partner shall designate a Person to serve as chairman of any meeting and shall further designate a Person to take the minutes of any meeting. All minutes shall be kept with the records of the Partnership maintained by the General Partner. The General Partner may make such other regulations consistent with applicable law and this Agreement as it may deem advisable concerning the conduct of any meeting of the Limited Partners or solicitation of approvals in writing, including regulations in regard to the appointment of proxies, the appointment and duties of inspectors of votes and approvals, the submission and examination of proxies and other evidence of the right to vote, and the revocation of approvals in writing.
Conduct of Research The Parties shall use Diligent Efforts to conduct their respective tasks, as assigned under the Research Plan, throughout the Mode of Action Program and shall conduct the Mode of Action Program in good scientific manner, and in compliance in all material respects with the requirements of applicable laws, rules and regulations and all applicable good laboratory practices to attempt to achieve their objectives efficiently and expeditiously.
Conduct of Indemnification Proceedings Promptly after receipt by any person of any notice of any loss, claim, damage or liability or any action in respect of which indemnity may be sought pursuant to Section 4.1 or 4.2, such person (the “Indemnified Party”) shall, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against any other person for indemnification hereunder, notify such other person (the “Indemnifying Party”) in writing of the loss, claim, judgment, damage, liability or action; provided, however, that the failure by the Indemnified Party to notify the Indemnifying Party shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party from any liability which the Indemnifying Party may have to such Indemnified Party hereunder, except and solely to the extent the Indemnifying Party is actually prejudiced by such failure. If the Indemnified Party is seeking indemnification with respect to any claim or action brought against the Indemnified Party, then the Indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in such claim or action, and, to the extent that it wishes, jointly with all other Indemnifying Parties, to assume control of the defense thereof with counsel satisfactory to the Indemnified Party. After notice from the Indemnifying Party to the Indemnified Party of its election to assume control of the defense of such claim or action, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnified Party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation; provided, however, that in any action in which both the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party are named as defendants, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel (but no more than one such separate counsel) to represent the Indemnified Party and its controlling persons who may be subject to liability arising out of any claim in respect of which indemnity may be sought by the Indemnified Party against the Indemnifying Party, with the fees and expenses of such counsel to be paid by such Indemnifying Party if, based upon the written opinion of counsel of such Indemnified Party, representation of both parties by the same counsel would be inappropriate due to actual or potential differing interests between them. No Indemnifying Party shall, without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, consent to entry of judgment or effect any settlement of any claim or pending or threatened proceeding in respect of which the Indemnified Party is or could have been a party and indemnity could have been sought hereunder by such Indemnified Party, unless such judgment or settlement includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability arising out of such claim or proceeding.

Conduct of Research Program Each Party:
Conduct of Business in Normal Course Seller shall carry on its business and activities diligently and in substantially the same manner as it previously has been carried on, and shall not make or institute any unusual or novel methods of purchase, sale, lease, management, accounting or operation that will vary materially from the methods used by Seller as of the date of this Agreement.
Conduct of Arbitration The Arbitrator(s) shall expeditiously (and, if possible, on or before the 90th Day after the Arbitrator(s)’s selection) hear and decide all matters concerning the Dispute. Any arbitration hearing shall be held in Houston, Texas. Except as expressly provided to the contrary in this Agreement, the Arbitrator(s) shall have the power (a) to gather such materials, information, testimony and evidence as it deems relevant to the dispute before it (and each Partner will provide such materials, information, testimony and evidence requested by the Arbitrator(s), except to the extent any information so requested is proprietary, subject to a third-party confidentiality restriction or to an attorney-client or other privilege) and (b) to grant injunctive relief and enforce specific performance. If they deem necessary, the Arbitrator(s) may propose to the Disputing Partners that one or more other experts be retained to assist it in resolving the Dispute. The retention of such other experts shall require the unanimous consent of the Disputing Partners, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. Each Disputing Partner, the Arbitrator(s) and any proposed expert shall disclose to the other Disputing Partners any business, personal or other relationship or affiliation that may exist or may have existed between the Disputing Partner (or the Arbitrator(s)) and the proposed expert; and any Disputing Partner may disapprove of the proposed expert on the basis of that relationship or affiliation. The decision of the Arbitrator(s) (which shall be rendered in writing) shall be final, nonappealable and binding upon the Disputing Partners and may be enforced in any court of competent jurisdiction; provided, however, that the Partners agree that the Arbitrator(s) and any court enforcing the award of the Arbitrator(s) shall not have the right or authority to award punitive, special, consequential, indirect, exemplary or similar damages to any Disputing Partner. The responsibility for paying the costs and expenses of the arbitration, including compensation to any experts retained by the Arbitrator(s), shall be divided equally among the Disputing Partners. Each Disputing Partner shall be responsible for the fees and expenses of its respective counsel, consultants and witnesses, unless the Arbitrator(s) determines that compelling reasons exist for allocating all or a portion of those costs and expenses to one or more other Disputing Partners.
Conclusiveness of Statements; Survival of Provisions Determinations and statements of any Lender pursuant to Sections 8.1, 8.2, 8.3 or 8.4 shall be conclusive absent demonstrable error. Lenders may use reasonable averaging and attribution methods in determining compensation under Sections 8.1 and 8.4, and the provisions of such Sections shall survive repayment of the Obligations, cancellation of any Notes, expiration or termination of the Letters of Credit and termination of this Agreement.
Injunctions or Restraints on Conduct of Business No Order issued by any court of competent jurisdiction or other legal or regulatory restraint or prohibition limiting or restricting Acquirer’s ownership, conduct or operation of the Business following the Closing shall be in effect, and no Legal Proceeding seeking any of the foregoing, or any other injunction, restraint or material damages in connection with Transactions or prohibiting or limiting the consummation of the Transactions, shall be pending or threatened.
