A. Entire Agreement: This Agreement sets forth the entire Agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior agreements, arrangements and understandings, written or oral, between the parties.

B. Amendments, Waivers: This Agreement may be amended, modified, superseded, cancelled, renewed or extended, and the terms or covenants hereof may be waived, only by a written instrument (which identifies this Agreement and states the plan or intent to modify) executed by all parties hereto, or in the case of a waiver, by the party waiving compliance. PSI shall not implement any change in the scope of the Study or Services without Sponsor’s prior written approval (through a Change Order or Change Notification Form).

C. Assignment, Subcontract: Sponsor may assign its rights and obligations under this Agreement to a partner, licensee or the like with the prior written permission of PSI. PSI may, with the prior written consent of the Sponsor which is net to be unreasonable withheld, assign in whole or in part its rights and obligations under this Agreement or subcontract any services provided hereunder to any of its Related Companies.

D. Subcontractors: Before engaging any third parties to perform any of the Services under this Agreement, PSI must submit details of such third parties to Sponsor for its approval, which will not be unreasonably withheld. Any third parties engaged by PSI to perform part or all of the Services are the subcontractors of PSI and PSI will be responsible for the conduct of the subcontractor and the performance of the Services as though PSI is itself performing those Services. Sponsor hereby agrees that PSI will involve its Related Companies in the provision of the Services and that PSI will provide some to the Services through its Related Companies, provided, however, that this does not relieve PSI from any of its responsibilities defined in this Agreement (including the Appendices).

E. PSI warrants that to the extent that any Intellectual Property of its subcontractors is:

(1) used in performing the Services, PSI will obtain at no further cost to the Sponsor, from the relevant subcontractor, all necessary licenses and consents for the Sponsor and its advisors, consultants or contractors to use the Intellectual Property for any purpose: and

(2) incorporated in any deliverable provided to the Sponsor pursuant to this Agreement, PSI will procure the assignment of all rights in such Intellectual Properly to the Sponsor and procure the execution of all such documents (including waivers of moral rights) as are necessary to vest such Intellectual Property rights in the Sponsor.

F. Severability: In case any provision of this Agreement shall be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby and this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. The parties undertake to negotiate in good faith alternative provision(s) which best mirrors their original agreement and intent and which will be valid and enforceable.
