During the Interim Period, Purchaser shall provide oversight and management support to the Company pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 2. Marketing, Advertising and Promotional Materials. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the contrary, GeneLink shall have the right at anytime during the Interim Period to revise, amend or otherwise modify any existing advertising, promotional, marketing or similar materials used by the Company or otherwise in connection with the Company's business (the "Marketing Materials"); provided, however, that in the event GeneLink shall require such changes, unless such revisions, amendments or modifications are (a) required by any regulatory agency having jurisdiction over these matters, (b) made by GeneLink as a result of GeneLink's reasonable belief that such revisions or amendments are necessary or advisable in order to better comply with the applicable regulatory environment or (c) made as a result of any changes to the Marketing Materials made after the effective date of this Agreement and not approved in advance by GeneLink, GeneLink shall pay for the direct out of pocket third party costs incurred by GeneWize in connection with such revisions, amendments or modifications. In such event, Purchaser shall cause the Company to immediately use such modified Marketing Materials and to immediately cease using any previous Marketing Materials that have been so revised, amended or modified. During the Interim Period, before causing or allowing the Company to use any Marketing Materials other than those approved in writing to GeneLink as of the date of this Agreement, the Purchaser shall submit to GeneLink, for its approval, free of charge, proposed Marketing Materials and promotional and publicity copy, finished artwork for tags, labels, packaging and the like, web pages and web sites, and all printed, video, audio and electronic materials of any kind proposed to be used by or through the Company in connection with the advertisement, marketing, distribution and sale of products or otherwise in connection with the Company's business.

After obtaining GeneLink's approval of any such materials, the Company may use such materials in the ordinary course. After any such materials have been approved by GeneLink, the Company shall not depart therefrom without the prior written approval of GeneLink. If GeneLink should disapprove in writing any such materials, then Purchaser shall cause the Company not to use such materials.
