11.6 Accrued Obligations. Termination of this Agreement or any license granted hereunder for any reason shall not release any party hereto from any obligation which, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to the other party or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination or the performance of which was due prior to such termination, nor shall it preclude either party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder and at law and in equity which accrued or are based upon any event occurring prior to or continuing after such termination.

11.7 Effect of Termination. Upon any termination of this Agreement or any license granted hereunder, the terminated party promptly shall cease any use, including for evaluation, research or commercial exploitation, under such license and shall, upon request of the terminating party, promptly destroy all materials derived therefrom (i.e., the use, manufacture, sale or import or export of which is covered by a claim under the terminated license) and all other Confidential Information received from the terminating party related to the terminated license. Upon any termination of this Agreement, all sublicenses under the Licenses shall automatically terminate. The terminated party shall certify in writing its compliance with a request to destroy any materials. Termination of this Agreement shalt not limit any of the parties’ rights under this Agreement at law, or in equity. In the event of termination of this Agreement during the Royalty Term for any Licensed Product in any country, and without granting or implying any rights to Licensee or limiting any rights or remedies of CareFusion, the payment obligations under Section 4 shall survive with respect to such Licensed Product and country for the remainder of the Royalty Term.

12. MISCELLANEOUS.

12.1 Governing Law and Venue. This Agreement and any dispute arising from the performance or breach hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of California without regard to its rules governing conflicts of law. The sole jurisdiction and venue for actions related to the subject matter of this Agreement shall be the federal and state courts located in San Diego County, California. Both parties hereby consent to the jurisdiction of such courts and agree that process may be served in the manner provided herein for giving notices or otherwise as allowed by California state or United States federal law.

12.2 Waiver. Neither party may waive or release any of its rights or interests in this Agreement except in a writing signed by both parties. The failure of either party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition.

12.3 Amendment. This Agreement may be modified or amended only pursuant to a writing executed by both parties.

12.4 Publicity. Licensee shall not use CareFusion’s, or any of its affiliates’, names, or refer to it or any of them directly or indirectly in any papers, articles, advertisements, marketing materials, sales presentations or press releases, without the prior written approval of CareFusion.

12.5 Assignment. Except as otherwise provided herein, this Agreement and the licenses granted herein shall not be assignable or transferable by Licensee, including to any Affiliate of Licensee, without the prior written consent of CareFusion, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Any assignment of this Agreement by Licensee shall be null and void unless the assignee agrees in advance in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement as if it were an original signatory hereto. For purposes of this Agreement, any change in Control of Licensee shall be deemed an assignment, and accordingly, the agreement must be assigned to the “assignee” thereof. CareFusion may assign this Agreement, and any of the Intellectual Property licensed to Licensee in this Agreement, to any person or entity at its discretion. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the permitted successors and assigns of the parties.

12.7 Force Majeure.

The parties shall in good faith negotiate a substitute clause for any provision declared invalid or unenforceable, which shall most nearly approximate the intent of the parties in entering this Agreement; provided, if the parties are unable to agree on such a substitute clause and the deletion of the provision held invalid or unenforceable would produce material adverse financial consequences for one party, such party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement with one hundred eighty (180) days prior notice.
