Such Manufacture and supply shall be in accordance with Applicable Laws, the Specifications, the Regulatory Documentation, Regulatory Approvals and the terms of this Agreement and the Quality Agreement.

-7-

(b) Exclusivity of PharmaZell. To the maximum extent permitted by Applicable Law, without the written consent of Intercept, PharmaZell shall not, and PharmaZell shall cause its Affiliates not to, distribute, market, promote, offer for sale, sell, supply or Manufacture API or any API Precursor, directly or indirectly, whether alone or in combination with other molecules or compounds, whether as a raw material or as a finished product, and whether at wholesale or retail, to any Person other than Intercept, its Affiliates or designees.

(c) Purchase Obligations of Intercept. Subject to the Minimum Percentage Requirement and the Minimum Annual Requirement set forth in Section 2.2(b), this Agreement shall not limit Intercept’s right to obtain Supplied Material from any third party. PharmaZell acknowledges that Intercept has the right to enter into arrangements with one or more third parties to act as additional sources of Supplied Material.

(d) Subcontractors. PharmaZell may not subcontract with any third party to perform any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Intercept; provided that with respect to the existing subcontractors and activity set forth on Schedule 2.1(d), Intercept hereby agrees that such subcontractors are hereby permitted subcontractors with respect to the activity identified for such subcontractor. PharmaZell shall be solely responsible for the performance of any permitted subcontractor, and for costs, expenses, damages, or losses of any nature arising out of such performance as if such performance had been provided by PharmaZell itself under this Agreement. PharmaZell shall cause any such permitted subcontractor to be bound by, and to comply with, all confidentiality, quality assurance, regulatory and other obligations and requirements of PharmaZell set forth in this Agreement. PharmaZell and its subcontractors may use Intercept Intellectual Property only for the performance of the Services as specified in this Agreement.

The existing Work Orders are attached hereto as Schedule 2.2(a) (the “Existing Work Orders”). The Parties acknowledge and agree that PharmaZell shall continue to Manufacture the quantities of Supplied Materials set forth in the Existing Work Orders in accordance with the timelines set forth in the Existing Work Orders; provided, however, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the Supplied Materials Manufactured and supplied under the Existing Work Orders shall be governed by the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and this Agreement supersedes and replaces any term or condition contained in such Existing Work Orders and any term or condition associated with such Existing Work Orders other than the delivery obligations, the price, the shared risk provisions and associated penalties of PharmaZell, which shall continue to apply as specified in the Existing Work Orders.

-8-

(b) New Work Orders; Minimum Percentage Requirement. Intercept shall place Work Orders at least [**] months in advance of the requested Delivery Date but no more than [**] months in advance of the requested Delivery Date. With respect to each Work Order, Intercept shall be obligated to purchase, and PharmaZell shall be obligated to deliver, by the required Delivery Date set forth therein such quantities of the Supplied Material as are set forth therein. Intercept agrees to order from PharmaZell at least [**] of Intercept’s Total Commercial Volume Requirements for delivery in each of [**] (“Minimum Percentage Requirement”); provided that, [**] notwithstanding Intercept’s actual Total Commercial Volume Requirements in Calendar Years 2017 and 2018, at a minimum, Intercept shall order at least [**] of Supplied Material to be delivered in each of Calendar Year 2017 and Calendar Year 2018 (“Minimum Annual Requirement”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) to the extent that Intercept has ordered a quantity of Supplied Material from PharmaZell but PharmaZell fails for any reason to deliver such quantity within [**] days of the Delivery Date or such Supplied Material is rejected by Intercept pursuant to Section 2.3(c), all such ordered Supplied Material shall be considered Supplied Material that was “ordered and delivered” under the terms of this Section 2.2(b) in calculating the Minimum Percentage Requirement and Minimum Annual Requirement, and (ii) if Intercept’s Total Commercial Volume Requirements in a given year are in excess of PharmaZell’s capacity to Manufacture such quantity of Supplied Material, then for purposes of calculating Intercept’s total volume, the percentage shall be based upon PharmaZell’s maximum capacity. In addition, if Intercept has ordered a quantity of Supplied Material from PharmaZell but PharmaZell fails to deliver such quantity as a result of PharmaZell’s inability to satisfy the Quality Standards (and PharmaZell is unable to remedy such inability to satisfy the Quality Standards within [**] days) or the Supplied Material is rejected by Intercept pursuant to Section 2.3(c) as a result of PharmaZell’s failure to satisfy the Quality Standards, then (i) Intercept’s obligation to achieve the Minimum Percentage Requirement and Minimum Annual Requirement shall be suspended until such time as PharmaZell is able to remedy such Quality Standard issue and (ii) Intercept’s Minimum Percentage Requirement and Minimum Annual Requirement for such Calendar Year shall be proportionately reduced by the length of the suspension; provided that if PharmaZell is able to remedy the issue with the Quality Standards and deliver Supply Material to Intercept and Intercept accepts the full amount of the delivery despite the proportional reduction, then Intercept’s Minimum Annual Requirement and Minimum Percentage Requirement for the subsequent Calendar Year shall be reduced by such proportionate amount. To the extent PharmaZell is responsible for manufacturing the Intermediary and to the extent Intercept is responsible for supplying the [**] to PharmaZell for the manufacture of the Intermediary, Intercept shall ensure timely delivery of the [**] to PharmaZell. In addition, in the event that [**], then Intercept shall have no Minimum Annual Requirement commencing on the date of any such event and for the duration of the Agreement. The Parties agree that the first new work order under the Agreement shall be as specified in Schedule 2.2(b) attached hereto.

(c) Work Order Terms. In the event that the terms of any Work Order are not consistent with or are in addition to the terms of this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement shall prevail. The Parties agree that each Work Order shall be for a minimum of [**] and that Intercept shall attempt to order a batch size of [**]. The Parties further agree that if the Manufacturing is to be done at [**], the size of the batch in a Work Order [**] but otherwise is subject to the terms of this Agreement.

PharmaZell shall deliver API, DAP (Incoterms 2010), with the delivery address specified by Intercept. Risk of loss and title shall pass to Intercept upon delivery of API as specified in the preceding sentence. In the event Intercept wishes to have an expedited delivery, PharmaZell reserves the right to charge Intercept for the additional costs involved therefor.

(b) Accompanying Documentation. Each delivery of API shall be accompanied by (i) a Certificate of Analysis, (ii) a Certificate of Compliance, (iii) such other documents as may be required pursuant to the Quality Agreement, and (iv) documentation necessary for the sale or export of the API, as applicable.

(c) Inspection. Within [**] days of receipt of a given shipment of Supplied Material, Intercept (or its agent) shall verify on the basis of a visual inspection the quantity of Supplied Material delivered. In addition, Intercept (or its agent) shall inspect at Intercept’s discretion (based minimally on physical inspection, identity test and review of the Certificate of Analysis and Certificate of Conformance provided by PharmaZell) the Supplied Material following Delivery for variances and defects; and if Intercept claims that a shipment of Supplied Material did not, at the time of receipt by Intercept, meet the Supplied Material Warranty or the quality requirements set forth in the Quality Agreement (a “Deficiency”), Intercept shall notify PharmaZell based on the foregoing inspection within [**] days after receipt of such Supplied Material at Intercept’s (or its designee’s) site, which notice shall provide the quantities affected, the basis for the claim and other information reasonably necessary for PharmaZell to assess the claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Intercept claims that the Deficiency is a Latent Defect, Intercept shall have the obligation to provide such notification to PharmaZell in writing within [**] days after Intercept’s discovery of such Latent Defect (or within [**] days after Intercept is notified in writing by a third party of such Latent Defect, if later). If Intercept and PharmaZell are unable to agree as to whether such Supplied Material contains a Deficiency, the Parties shall cooperate to have the Supplied Materials in dispute analyzed by the Testing Laboratory. The results of the Testing Laboratory shall be final and binding on the Parties on the issue of whether such Supplied Material contains a Deficiency. If the Supplied Materials are determined to not contain a Deficiency, then Intercept shall bear the cost of the Testing Laboratory and pay the Purchase Price with respect to the Supplied Materials in accordance with this Agreement. If the Supplied Materials are determined to contain a Deficiency, then PharmaZell shall bear the cost of the Testing Laboratory, and PharmaZell shall (i) at Intercept's election, either replace the rejected Supplied Materials at no cost to Intercept, or refund to Intercept the Purchase Price paid for such Supplied Materials, and the cost of all Intercept Materials used for such Supplied Materials plus any applicable delivery charge and (ii) reimburse to Intercept all costs associated with any manufacturing and distribution of Products incorporating such Supplied Material, including formulation, packaging, storage and distribution expenses (and including materials used in connection therewith).

FINANCIALS

4.1 Price.

(a) Subject to Section 4.4, the purchase price (the “Purchase Price”) for Supplied Material shall be determined as follows:

Amount of Supplied Material
Ordered for Delivery in a
Calendar Year		Price
[**]		[**]
[**]		[] []
[**]		[**]
[**]		[**]

(b) For purposes of determining the Purchase Price applicable to a given quantity of Supplied Material that is ordered for delivery for a given Calendar Year, any quantity of Supplied Material that has been ordered by Intercept for delivery in a given Calendar Year shall be deemed ordered for delivery for such Calendar Year even if such quantity is ordered or Manufactured in an earlier Calendar Year. If Intercept places multiple orders for delivery in the same Calendar Year, such that the total amount of Supplied Material ordered for delivery in such Calendar Year in the aggregate is in a higher tier than a previously placed order, the Parties shall reconcile the total amount ordered for delivery in such Calendar Year and recalculate the Purchase Price and PharmaZell shall pay to Intercept the difference or, to the extent the final invoice for such Calendar Year has not yet been paid, Intercept may reduce the amount of such invoice accordingly. For example, and by way of illustration purposes only, if Intercept places an order for [**].

4.2 Invoice and Payment. PharmaZell shall invoice Intercept for the Manufacture of Supplied Material as follows:

(a) PharmaZell shall be entitled to invoice Intercept for a certain percentage of the total Purchase Price calculated in accordance with Section 4.1(a) in accordance with the Work Order for such Supplied Material prior to delivery of the Supplied Material upon achievement of certain steps of the Manufacturing process as follows:

4.5 Audit; Late Payments.

(a) Intercept shall have the right to have an independent accounting firm of internationally recognized standing, and reasonably acceptable to PharmaZell, provided with access by PharmaZell during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice, to examine only those records of PharmaZell (and its Affiliates) as may be reasonably necessary to determine, with respect to any Calendar Year ending not more than [**] prior to Intercept’s request, the correctness of any statement submitted by PharmaZell under this Agreement. Such examinations may not (i) be conducted more than once in any [**] period (unless a previous audit during such [**] period revealed an incorrect statement submitted by PharmaZell in respect of such period or PharmaZell restates or revises its books and records for such period) or (ii) be repeated for any Calendar Year. Results of such audit shall (i) be (A) limited to information relating to the supply of Supplied Material hereunder and use of the Intercept Materials, (B) made available to both Parties in writing, and (C) subject to ARTICLE 7 and (ii) not reveal any specific information of PharmaZell to Intercept other than (A) whether statements submitted by PharmaZell under this Agreement are true and correct and (B) the amount of any excess payment reimbursable to Intercept. The cost of any such examination shall be borne by Intercept unless the examination reveals a variance of more than [**] from the amounts reflected on PharmaZell’s statements, in which case PharmaZell shall bear the cost of the audit. Unless disputed pursuant to Section 4.5(c), if such audit concludes that excess payments were made by Intercept during such period, PharmaZell shall reimburse such amounts, with interest from the date originally due as provided in Section 4.5(d), within [**] days after the date on which such auditor’s written report is delivered to the Parties.

-19-

(b) Solely for the purposes of ensuring Intercept’s compliance with Section 2.2(b), PharmaZell shall have the right to have an independent accounting firm of internationally recognized standing, approved by Intercept, during normal business hours, and upon reasonable prior written notice which notice shall be at least [**] days prior to the audit, to examine only those records of Intercept (and its Affiliates) as may be necessary to determine whether Intercept has met its Minimum Percentage Requirement, with respect to any Calendar Year ending not more than [**] prior to PharmaZell’s request. Such examinations may not be conducted more than once in any [**] period. The results communicated to Pharmazell regarding any such audit shall be limited solely to whether Intercept ordered the Minimum Percentage Requirement for such Calendar Year and any deviations from the Minimum Percentage Requirement. No other information may be included in the audit results and the audit results must be concurrently communicated to Intercept in writing. The cost of any such examination shall be borne by PharmaZell. Unless disputed pursuant to Section 4.5(c), if such audit concludes that Intercept did not order the Minimum Percentage Requirement for such Calendar Year, Intercept shall order an additional amount of Supplied Material in a subsequent calendar year equal to the difference between the amount of Supplied Material Intercept actually ordered from PharmaZell in such Calendar Year and the amount Intercept would have ordered had Intercept actually ordered the Minimum Percentage Requirement for such Calendar Year.

(c) In the event of a dispute of any examination conducted under Section 4.5, PharmaZell and Intercept shall work in good faith to resolve the disagreement. If the Parties are unable to reach a mutually acceptable resolution of any such dispute within [**] days, the dispute shall be resolved in accordance with Section 10.7.

(d) If any undisputed payment due to a Party under this Agreement is not paid when due, then the owing Party shall pay interest thereon (before and after any judgment) at an annual rate (but with interest accruing on a daily basis) equal to the lesser of [**], and [**]. Interest payable under this Section 4.5(d) shall run from the date upon which payment of the relevant undisputed principal sum became due through the date of payment thereof in full together with such interest.

Such other Party shall offer its comments, if any, promptly.

5.3 Enforcement of Patents.

(a) If any Specified Invention Patent, Other PharmaZell Invention Patent, or Joint Invention Patent is allegedly or actually infringed by any Person, the Party first having knowledge of such infringement shall promptly notify the other in writing. The notice shall set forth the facts of that infringement in reasonable detail.

(b) As between the Parties, Intercept shall have the sole and exclusive right, but not the obligation, to prosecute any infringement described in Section 5.3(a).

If Intercept determines not to defend against such action, then PharmaZell shall, at its sole cost and expense, have the right but not the obligation to control the defense of such action except to the extent it relates to a Specified Invention Patent; provided that, if an Other PharmaZell Invention Patent or Joint Invention Patent is at issue in the action and is the only patent protecting a Product, then PharmaZell shall in any event consult with Intercept with respect to any such action and shall obtain Intercept's written consent prior to taking any steps in respect of such action. Intercept shall have the right, at its own expense, to be represented in any such action by counsel of its own choice.

(b) Any costs and expenses relating to any defense undertaken pursuant to this Section 5.4 shall be borne by the Party controlling the defense. Any damages or other amounts recovered shall be first allocated to reimburse the Parties for their costs and expenses in making such recovery (which amounts shall be allocated pro rata if insufficient to cover the totality of such expenses). Any remainder after such reimbursement is made shall be retained by the Party that has exercised its right to control the defense of the action.

(c) In the event that a Party entitled to defend an infringement action does so in accordance with this Section 5.4, the other Party shall cooperate fully, including providing access to relevant documents and other evidence and making its employees available at reasonable business hours. If a Party pursues the defense of such an infringement action, it shall consider in good faith any comments from the other Party and shall keep the other Party reasonably informed of any steps taken to remedy such infringement.

5.5 Third Party Licenses. If, in the absence of a license from a Person, the Manufacture of API or API Precursor hereunder in accordance with the terms hereof infringes or misappropriates any patent or any intellectual property right of such Person, such that PharmaZell or any of its Affiliates cannot Manufacture the API or API Precursor without infringing the patent or intellectual property rights of such Person, then Intercept shall have the sole and exclusive right to take the lead in negotiating the terms of any such license.

ARTICLE 9

INDEMNIFICATION

9.1 PharmaZell Indemnification. PharmaZell shall indemnify Intercept, its Affiliates and sublicensees and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “Intercept Indemnified Parties”), and defend and hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all claims, lawsuits, actions, suits and demands brought by a third party (a “Third Party Claim”) and all associated losses, damages, liabilities, penalties, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by any of them arising from or occurring as a result of (a) the breach by PharmaZell of any of its representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, (b) PharmaZell’s breach of any of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, (c) PharmaZell’s gross negligence or willful misconduct in the performance of this Agreement, (d) the storage, release, or disposal of any hazardous or regulated material or any waste by PharmaZell, (e) violation of Applicable Law by any PharmaZell Indemnitee, or (f) the enforcement by Intercept of its rights under this Section 9.1, except, in each case, for those Losses for which Intercept has an obligation to indemnify the PharmaZell Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.2, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other Party to the extent of its respective liability for such Losses.

9.2 Intercept Indemnification. Intercept shall indemnify PharmaZell, its Affiliates and its and their respective directors, officers, employees and agents (the “PharmaZell Indemnified Parties”), and defend and hold each of them harmless, from and against any and all Third Party Claims and all associated Losses incurred by any of them arising from or occurring as a result of (a) the breach by Intercept of any of its representations or warranties set forth in this Agreement, (b) Intercept’s breach of its covenants or obligations under this Agreement, (c) violation of Applicable Law by any Intercept Indemnitee, or (d) the enforcement by PharmaZell of its rights under this Section 9.2, except, in each case, for those Losses for which PharmaZell has an obligation to indemnify the Intercept Indemnified Parties pursuant to Section 9.1, as to which Losses each Party shall indemnify the other Party to the extent of its respective liability for such Losses.

9.3 Indemnification Procedure.

(a) Notice of Claim. The indemnified party (the “Indemnified Party”) shall give the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) prompt written notice (an “Indemnification Claim Notice”) of any Third Party Claims and the associated Losses or discovery of facts upon which such Indemnified Party intends to base a request for indemnification under Section 9.1 or 9.2, but in no event shall the Indemnifying Party be liable for any Losses that result from any delay in providing such notice. Each Indemnification Claim Notice must contain a description of the claim and the nature and amount of such Loss (to the extent that the nature and amount of such Loss are known at such time). The Indemnified Party shall furnish promptly to the Indemnifying Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any Losses.

-33-

(b) Control of Defense. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense of any Third Party Claim by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [**] days after the Indemnifying Party’s receipt of an Indemnification Claim Notice. The assumption of the defense of a Third Party Claim by the Indemnifying Party shall not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party in respect of the Third Party Claim, nor shall it constitute a waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against any Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. Upon assuming the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party may appoint as lead counsel in the defense of the Third Party Claim any legal counsel selected by the Indemnifying Party, which shall be reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall immediately deliver to the Indemnifying Party all original notices and documents (including court papers) received by any Indemnified Party in connection with the Third Party Claim. Subject to Section 9.3(c), if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Third Party Claim, the Indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnified Party for any legal expenses subsequently incurred by such Indemnified Party in connection with the analysis, defense or settlement of the Third Party Claim. In the event that it is ultimately determined that the Indemnifying Party is not obligated to indemnify, defend or hold harmless a Intercept Indemnified Party or PharmaZell Indemnified Party, as applicable, from and against the Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party shall reimburse the Indemnifying Party for any and all costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of suit) and any Losses incurred by the Indemnifying Party in its defense of the Third Party Claim with respect to such Intercept Indemnified Party or PharmaZell Indemnified Party, as applicable.

(c) Right to Participate in Defense. Without limiting Section 9.3(b), any Indemnified Party shall be entitled to participate in, but not control, the defense of such Third Party Claim and to employ counsel of its choice for such purpose; provided, however, that such employment shall be at the Indemnified Party’s own expense unless (A) the employment thereof has been specifically authorized by the Indemnifying Party in writing, (B) the Indemnifying Party has failed to assume the defense and employ counsel in accordance with Section 9.3(b) (in which case the Indemnified Party shall control the defense), or (C) the interests of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnifying Party with respect to such Third Party Claim are sufficiently adverse to prohibit the representation by the same counsel of both Parties under applicable law, ethical rules or equitable principles.

(d) Settlement. With respect to any Losses relating solely to the payment of money damages in connection with a Third Party Claim, without any admission of liability or fault, and that will not result in the Indemnified Party’s becoming subject to injunctive or other relief or otherwise adversely affect the business of the Indemnified Party in any manner, and as to which the Indemnifying Party shall have acknowledged in writing the obligation to indemnify the Indemnified Party hereunder, the Indemnifying Party shall have the sole right to consent to the entry of any judgment, enter into any settlement or otherwise dispose of such Loss, on such terms as the Indemnifying Party, in its sole discretion, shall deem appropriate.

In such case, within [**] days after the provision of notice described in the preceding sentence, each Party shall select one person to act as arbitrator. If a Party shall fail within the designated time period to select an arbitrator, then the arbitrator to be selected by the Party shall be selected by the International Chamber of Commerce. The two (2) persons so selected as arbitrators shall select a third arbitrator within [**] days of their appointment.

The arbitrator(s) may extend this time limit in the interests of justice. Failure to adhere to this time limit shall not constitute a basis for challenging the award.

(f) Except as may be required by Applicable Law (including applicable securities laws or rules of a securities exchange) or as may be necessary to enforce the arbitration award or the provisions of this Section 10.8, and except for disclosures made by a Party to its accountants, insurers, consultants, or attorneys or to actual or potential lenders, non-public investors, rating agencies, acquirers, or business partners who are under obligations to the disclosing Party to hold the disclosed information in confidence, neither a Party nor its representatives may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party.

-39-

(g) The arbitrator(s) shall have discretion to allocate the Parties’ costs and expenses for the arbitration (including attorneys’ fees), the fees of the arbitrator(s), and the administrative fees of arbitration between the Parties in proportion to the extent to which they prevail. Failing such allocation, each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses and an equal share of the fees of the arbitrators and administrative fees of the arbitration.

10.11 Assignment. Except as expressly provided herein, neither Party may, without the prior written consent of the other Party, sell, transfer, assign, delegate, pledge, subcontract or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or duties hereunder; provided, however, that (a) Intercept may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to an Affiliate, (b) Intercept may, without such consent, assign its rights and delegate its obligations under this Agreement in respect of Supplied Materials to the purchaser or sublicensee of Intercept’s rights in and to such Supplied Materials or the relevant Product, (c) PharmaZell may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to one or more Affiliates, and (d) either Party may, without such consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder to the purchaser of all or substantially all of its assets or to any successor entity or acquirer in the event of a merger, consolidation or change in control of such Party.

In the event either Party assigns all of its rights and delegates all of its obligations under this Agreement to another Person in accordance with the terms hereof and the assignee/delegee acquires all rights and assumes all obligations of its assignor/delegor under this Agreement, then the assignor/delegor shall cease to be a party to this Agreement or to have any rights or obligations under this Agreement from and after the effective date of such assignment or delegation.

10.13 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom, and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the Parties herein.

10.14 Independent Contractors. The status of the Parties under this Agreement shall be that of independent contractors. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, agency, employer, employee, or joint venture relationship between the Parties. Neither Party shall have the right to enter into any agreements on behalf of the other Party, nor shall it represent to any Person that it has any such right or authority.
