12.10. | Compound Data.

The Parties further agree that EntreMed’s right to supply any such information to a Third Party that is a Technological Competitor shall require EPIL’s prior written consent, * . | |
12.14. | Required Disclosures. A Party (the “Disclosing Party”) will be entitled to make an announcement or public statement concerning the existence, subject matter or any term of this Agreement, or to disclose Confidential Information that the Disclosing Party is required to make or disclose pursuant to: | |

The Disclosing Party shall fully co-operate with the other Party in connection with that other Party’s efforts to obtain any such order or other remedy.

13. | MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS | |
13.1. | Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for failure or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement if such failure or delay results from Force Majeure, but any such failure or delay shall be remedied by such Party as soon as practicable. | |
