The word “extent” in the phrase “to the extent” shall mean the degree to which a subject or other thing extends, and such phrase shall not mean simply “if”. Unless the context requires otherwise (i) any definition of or reference to any Contract, instrument or other document or any Law herein shall be construed as referring to such Contract, instrument or other document or Law as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified, (ii) any reference herein to any Person shall be construed to include such Person’s successors and assigns, (iii) the words “herein”, “hereof” and “hereunder”, and words of similar import, shall be construed to refer to this Agreement in its entirety and not to any particular provision hereof and (iv) all references herein to Articles, Sections and Exhibits shall be construed to refer to Articles and Sections of, and Exhibits to, this Agreement. This Agreement shall be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting or causing any instrument to be drafted.
(d) Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other parties. Delivery of an executed counterpart of a signature page of this Agreement by facsimile or other electronic image scan transmission shall be effective as delivery of a manually executed counterpart of this Agreement.
(e) Entire Agreement; No Third-Party Beneficiaries; No Other Representations or Warranties.
(i) This Agreement (a) constitutes the entire agreement, and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, both written and oral, among the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and (b) is not intended to confer upon any Person other than the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns any rights (legal, equitable or otherwise) or remedies, whether as third party beneficiaries or otherwise.
(ii) Except for the representations and warranties contained in Section 1, or in any certificate delivered to Licensee in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby, Licensee acknowledges that neither the applicable Shareholder nor any Person on behalf of the applicable Shareholder makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to such Shareholder or any of its Affiliates or with respect to any other information made available to Licensee in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby.
(iii) Except for the representations and warranties contained in Section 2, each Shareholder acknowledges that none of Licensee or any other Person on behalf of Licensee makes any other express or implied representation or warranty with respect to Licensee or with respect to any other information made available to Licensor in connection with the transactions contemplated hereby
(f) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the Laws of the Kingdom of Denmark, regardless of the Laws that might otherwise govern under applicable principles of conflicts of Laws thereof.
(g) Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced by any rule or law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are fulfilled to the extent possible.
(h) Jurisdiction; Venue. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally submits, for itself and its property, to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Danish Maritime and Commercial Court in Copenhagen in the first instance, for the purposes of any Litigation arising out of this Agreement or any transaction contemplated hereby (and each agrees that no such Litigation relating to this Agreement shall be brought by it or any of its Affiliates except in such court). Each of the parties hereto further agrees that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, service of any process, summons, notice or document by registered mail to such Person’s respective address pursuant to Section 9(b) shall be effective service of process for any Litigation in Denmark with respect to any matters to which it has submitted to jurisdiction as set forth above in the immediately preceding sentence. Nothing in this Agreement will affect the right of any party to this Agreement to serve process in any other manner permitted by applicable Law. Each of the parties hereto irrevocably and unconditionally waives (and agrees not to plead or claim) any objection to the laying of venue of any Litigation arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby in the Danish Maritime and Commercial Court in Copenhagen in the first instance, or that any such Litigation brought in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum.
(i) Specific Enforcement; Damages.
(i) The parties acknowledge and agree that irreparable damage would occur in the event that any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with its specific terms or were otherwise breached, and that monetary damages, even if available, would not be an adequate remedy therefor. It is accordingly agreed that the parties shall be entitled to an injunction or injunctions, or any other appropriate form of equitable relief, to prevent breaches of this Agreement and to enforce specifically the performance of the terms and provisions of this Agreement in the court referred to in Section 9(h), without the necessity of proving the inadequacy of money damages as a remedy (and each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such remedy), this being in addition to any other remedy to which they are entitled at law or in equity. Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that the right of specific enforcement is an integral part of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and without such right, none of the parties would have entered into this Agreement.
(ii) The parties further acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement or the License Agreement shall prohibit Licensee from seeking any other remedy to which it is entitled in law or in equity.
(j) Expenses. All fees, costs and expenses (including all legal, accounting, broker, finder or investment banker fees) incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby are to be paid by the party incurring such fees, costs and expenses.
[Signature page follows]
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, Licensee has caused this Agreement to be signed by its officer thereunto duly authorized and each Shareholder has signed this Agreement, all as of the date first written above.
