EQRx or any of its Affiliates will have the first right, but not the obligation, to enter into an agreement with a Third Party to acquire or obtain a license, covenant not to xxx or other similar right to such Blocking IP. EQRx will [***] EQRx will [***] If EQRx or any of its Affiliates enters into such agreement, [***] will be [***] to the Third Party under such agreement, and [***] for such Licensed Product payable hereunder with respect to that country or other jurisdiction an amount equal to [***] of royalties or any other amounts paid to such Third Party under such agreement to the extent [***] If EQRx or any of its Affiliates elect not to enter into an agreement with respect to any Blocking IP, [***] provided, that [***] will use [***] to negotiate for, and obtain, the right in such agreement to disclose the agreement to [***] (subject to confidentiality obligations and reasonable redaction) and to [***] EQRx or any of its Affiliates will remain free to independently negotiate and enter into an agreement to obtain a license or other rights to such rights. Hansoh will provide written notification to EQRx of such agreement if it includes any [***] EQRx may elect to [***] by providing written notice to Hansoh and, upon such election, such Blocking IP will be included within the Licensed Technology licensed hereunder;

(iv) in the event that a court or a governmental agency of competent jurisdiction requires EQRx or any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees to grant a compulsory license to a Third Party permitting such Third Party to make or sell a Licensed Product in a country or other jurisdiction in the EQRx Territory and such Third Party actually sells such Licensed Product in such country under such compulsory license with a royalty rate lower than the applicable royalty rate provided in Section 9.4(a), then, the Parties shall share the amounts received by all Selling Parties from such sales under the compulsory license by such Third Party (“Net Receipts”): [***] of Net Receipts to EQRx and [***] of Net Receipts to Hansoh;

(v) notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, in no event shall the application of the royalty deductions in Sections 9.4(d)(i) to 9.4(d)(iii) result in a reduction of the total Net Sales Royalty by more than [***] with respect to any given Licensed Product, country and calendar year; and

(d) Net Sales Audit Rights.

(i) Hansoh will have the right to engage, [***] subject to this Section 9.4, an independent accounting firm chosen by Hansoh and [***] to EQRx (which accounting firm will not be the external auditor of Hansoh, will not have been hired or paid on a contingency basis and will have experience auditing pharmaceutical companies) (a “CPA Firm”) to conduct an audit of EQRx for the purposes of confirming EQRx’s and its Affiliates’ compliance with the Net Sales Royalty provisions of this Agreement.

(ii) The CPA Firm will be given access to and will be permitted to examine all books and records of EQRx as it will reasonably request, upon [***] prior written notice having been given by Hansoh, during regular business hours, for the sole purpose of determining compliance with the Net Sales Royalty and other milestone payment provisions of this Agreement. Prior to any such examination taking place, the CPA Firm will enter into a confidentiality agreement reasonably acceptable to EQRx, such acceptance not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, with respect to the Know-How to which the CPA Firm are given access to and will include obligations on the CPA Firm to not contain in its report or otherwise disclose to Hansoh or any Third Party any information labelled by EQRx as being confidential customer information regarding pricing or other competitively sensitive proprietary information; provided that, EQRx acknowledge and agree that sufficient details must be disclosed to Hansoh in connection with the results and findings of the audit.

(iii) Hansoh and EQRx will be entitled to receive a full written report of the CPA Firm with respect to its findings and Hansoh will provide, without condition or qualification, EQRx with a copy of the report, or other summary of findings, prepared by such CPA Firm promptly following Hansoh’s receipt of same. In the event of any dispute between Hansoh and EQRx regarding the findings of any such inspection or audit, the Parties will initially attempt in [***] to resolve the dispute amicably between themselves, and if the Parties are unable to resolve such dispute within [***] after delivery to both Parties of the CPA Firm’s report, each Party will select an internationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm (other than the CPA Firm), and the two firms chosen by the Parties will choose a third internationally recognized independent certified public accounting firm which will resolve the dispute, and such accounting firm’s determination will be binding on both Parties, absent manifest error by such accounting firm.

(iv) Within [***] days after completion of the CPA Firm’s audit, EQRx will pay to Hansoh any deficiency in the Net Sales Royalty amount determined by the CPA Firm. If the report of the CPA Firm shows that EQRx overpaid, then EQRx will be entitled to off-set such overpayment against any Net Sales Royalty then owed to Hansoh. If no royalty is then owed to Hansoh, then Hansoh will remit such overpayment to EQRx. If the report of the CPA Firm shows a discrepancy between the amount of the royalty to which Hansoh is entitled and the Net Sales Royalty amount reflected by EQRx in the Net Sales Statement in Hansoh’s favor that exceeds [***] of the amount audited, then in addition to the payment of the shortfall in the Net Sales Royalty amount, the fees and expenses of the CPA Firm in performing such audit will be paid in full by EQRx.

(v) Hansoh’s exercise of its audit rights under this Section 9.4(e) may not (A) be conducted for any [***] more than [***] after the end of such [***] to which such books and records pertain, (B) be conducted more than once in any [***] period within each country (unless a previous audit during such [***] period revealed an underpayment with respect to such period), or (C) be repeated for any [***] except, in each case, in the event of any actual or alleged fraud.

Article 12
INDEMNIFICATION

12.1 Indemnification by Hansoh. Subject to the remainder of this Article 12, Hansoh will defend, indemnify, and hold EQRx, its Affiliates, subcontractors and Sublicensees, and its and their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (the “EQRx Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages, fees, expenses or other amounts payable to a Third Party claimant, as well as any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation incurred by such EQRx Indemnitees, all to the extent resulting from claims, suits, proceedings or causes of action brought by or on behalf of such Third Party against such EQRx Indemnitee that arise from or are based on: [***] excluding, in each case ([***]), any damages or other amounts for which EQRx has an obligation to indemnify any Hansoh Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12.2.

12.2 Indemnification by EQRx. Subject to the remainder of this Article 12, EQRx will defend, indemnify, and hold Hansoh, its Affiliates, subcontractors, licensees and sublicensees, and each of their respective officers, directors, employees, agents and representatives (the “Hansoh Indemnitees”) harmless from and against any and all liabilities, losses, costs, damages fees, expenses or other amounts payable to a Third Party claimant, as well as any reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs of litigation incurred by such Hansoh Indemnitees, all to the extent resulting from any claims, suits, proceedings or causes of action brought by or on behalf of such Third Party against such Hansoh Indemnitee that arise from or are based on: [***] excluding, in each case ([***]), any damages or other amounts for which Hansoh has an obligation to indemnify any EQRx Indemnitee pursuant to Section 12.1. For the avoidance of doubt EQRx shall have no obligations under this Section 12.2 on account of taxes, which shall be governed solely by Section 9.5.

12.3 Indemnification Procedures. The Party claiming indemnity under this Article 12 (the “Indemnified Party”) will give written notice to the Party from whom indemnity is being sought (the “Indemnifying Party”) promptly after learning of the claim, suit, proceeding or cause of action for which indemnity is being sought (“Claim”). The Indemnifying Party’s obligation to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless pursuant to Section 12.1 or Section 12.2, as applicable, will be reduced to the extent the Indemnified Party’s delay in providing notification pursuant to the previous sentence results in actual prejudice to the Indemnifying Party; provided, however, that the failure by an Indemnified Party to give such notice or otherwise meet its obligations under this Section 12.3 will not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligation under this Agreement. At its option, the Indemnifying Party may assume the defense and have exclusive control, at its own expense, of any Claim for which indemnity is being sought by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within [***] after receipt of the notice of the Claim. The assumption of defense of the Claim will not be construed as an acknowledgment that the Indemnifying Party is liable to indemnify any Indemnified Party in respect of the Claim, nor will it constitute waiver by the Indemnifying Party of any defenses it may assert against the Indemnified Party’s claim for indemnification. The Indemnified Party will provide the Indemnifying Party with reasonable assistance, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in connection with the defense. The Indemnified Party may participate in and monitor such defense with counsel of its own choosing at its sole expense; provided, however, the Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume and conduct the defense of the Claim with counsel of its choice. The Indemnifying Party will not settle any Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned, unless the settlement involves only the payment of money. The Indemnified Party will not settle any such Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnifying Party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned. If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Claim as provided above, (a) the Indemnified Party may defend against, and consent to the entry of any judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Claim in any manner the Indemnified Party may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnified Party need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (b) the Indemnified Party reserves any right it may have under this Article 12 to obtain indemnification from the Indemnifying Party.

12.4 Limitation of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY CLAIMS ARISING HEREUNDER, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE), REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 12.4 IS INTENDED TO OR WILL LIMIT OR RESTRICT (A) THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 12.1 OR SECTION 12.2, (B) DAMAGES AVAILABLE IN THE CASE OF A PARTY’S FRAUD, GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR INTENTIONAL MISCONDUCT, OR (C) DAMAGES AVAILABLE TO A PARTY FOR A BREACH BY THE OTHER PARTY OF THE CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER ARTICLE 13.

Article 13
CONFIDENTIALITY

13.1 Confidentiality; Exceptions. Except to the extent expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise agreed in writing, during the Term and for [***] thereafter, the Parties agree that the receiving Party will keep confidential, and will not publish or otherwise disclose or use for any purpose other than as provided for in this Agreement, (a) any information, Data or Know-How provided or otherwise made available to it by or on behalf of Hansoh or any of its Affiliates and (b) any information, Know-How or Data provided or otherwise made available to it by or on behalf of EQRx or any of its Affiliates (collectively, “Confidential Information”). For clarity, Confidential Information of a Party or any of its Affiliates will include, without limitation, all information disclosed by such Party or any of its Affiliates or their respective designees that (a) is marked as “Confidential,” “Proprietary” or with similar designation at the time of disclosure or (b) by its nature can reasonably be expected to be considered Confidential Information by the recipient. Know-How disclosed orally will not be required to be identified as such to be considered Confidential Information. The terms of this Agreement will be deemed to be the Confidential Information of both Parties. For the Term of this Agreement, information relating to the Licensed Compounds, Licensed Products and Licensed Technology will be deemed Confidential Information of both Parties irrespective of the discloser. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information will not include any information to the extent that it can be established by written documentation by the receiving Party that such information (a) was already known to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality (except to the extent such obligation has expired or an exception is applicable under the relevant agreement pursuant to which such obligation was established), at the time of disclosure, (b) was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving Party, (c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after its disclosure through no wrongful act, fault or omission of the receiving Party in breach of this Agreement, (d) was independently developed by the receiving Party as demonstrated by written documentation prepared contemporaneously without reference to the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; or (e) was disclosed to the receiving Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality (except to the extent such obligation has expired or an exception is applicable under the relevant agreement pursuant to which such obligation was established), by a Third Party who had no obligation to the disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others.

13.2 Authorized Disclosure. Except as expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, each Party may use and disclose Confidential Information of the other Party solely as follows: (a) under appropriate confidentiality provisions substantially equivalent to those in this Agreement (but of shorter duration, if customary): (i) in connection with the performance of its obligations or as reasonably necessary or useful in the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, including the right to grant licenses or sublicenses as permitted hereunder, (ii) to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary or useful in conducting Clinical Trials under this Agreement; or (iii) to actual or potential (sub)licensees, acquirers or assignees, collaborators, investment bankers, investors or lenders, or; (b) to the extent such disclosure is to a Governmental Authority as reasonably necessary in filing or prosecuting Patent, copyright and trademark applications in accordance with this Agreement, prosecuting or defending litigation related to this Agreement, obtaining Regulatory Approval or fulfilling post-approval regulatory obligations for the Licensed Compounds or Licensed Products in its respective Territory, or otherwise required by applicable Law; provided, however, that if a Party is required by applicable Law or the rules of any securities exchange or automated quotation system to make any such disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information it will, except where impracticable for necessary disclosures (for example, in the event of medical emergency), give reasonable advance notice to the other Party of such disclosure requirement and, in each of the foregoing, will use its reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such Confidential Information required to be disclosed and will only disclose that Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed; (c) to advisors (including lawyers and accountants) on a need to know basis, in each case under appropriate confidentiality provisions or professional standards of confidentiality no less restrictive than those set forth in this Agreement, or (d) to the extent mutually agreed to by the Parties in writing. For clarity, neither Party shall be permitted to release a press release announcing the execution of this Agreement without the written consent of the other Party. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that the other Party may submit this Agreement to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission or an equivalent authority governing such Party (“SEC”) and if a Party does submit this Agreement to the SEC, such Party agrees to consult with the other Party with respect to the preparation and submission of, a confidential treatment request for this Agreement. If a Party is required by applicable Law to make a disclosure of the terms of this Agreement in a filing with or other submission to the SEC, and (A) such Party has provided copies of the disclosure to the other Party as far in advance of such filing or other disclosure as is reasonably practicable under the circumstances, (B) such Party has promptly notified the other Party in writing of such requirement and any respective timing constraints, and (C) such Party has given the other Party a reasonable time under the circumstances from the date of notice by such Party of the required disclosure to comment upon, request confidential treatment or approve such disclosure, then such Party will have the right to make such public disclosure at the time and in the manner reasonably determined by its counsel to be required by applicable Law. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, it is hereby understood and agreed that if a Party seeking to make a disclosure to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission as set forth in this Section 13.2, and the other Party provides comments within the respective time periods or constraints specified herein or within the respective notice, the Party seeking to make such disclosure or its counsel, as the case may be, will in good faith (1) consider incorporating such comments and (2) use reasonable efforts to incorporate such comments, limit disclosure or obtain confidential treatment to the extent reasonably requested by the other Party.

13.3 Prior Agreement. This Agreement supersedes the Existing Nondisclosure Agreement. All confidential information exchanged between the Parties under the Existing Nondisclosure Agreement will be deemed Confidential Information of the disclosing Party and will be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

13.4 Publications. Except as required by applicable Law or court order as set forth above, any publication or presentation concerning the activities conducted under this Agreement, the Licensed Compounds or the Licensed Products by either Party or its Affiliate will be subject to the oversight, guidelines and approval of the JSC. The JSC will establish, [***] guidelines that require: (a) the non-publishing Party’s timely review of all such publications or presentations, (b) protection of Confidential Information and coordination with the non-publishing Party prior to any disclosure of patentable subject matter under this Agreement, (c) that all such publications and presentations are consistent with good scientific practice and accurately reflect work done and the contributions of the Parties, and (d) that no such publication or presentation be made by or on behalf of the non-publishing Party or its Affiliates except to the extent approved by the JSC in advance in writing, which approval will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed, or conditioned; provided that, Hansoh is only obligated under this Section 13.4 to the extent such publication will be in English and will be published or made readily available outside of the Hansoh Territory. Unless otherwise mutually agreed upon by the Parties, (i) the publishing Party will transmit to the non-publishing Party for review and comment a copy of the proposed publication or presentation, at least [***] prior to the proposed submission of the publication or presentation to a Third Party; provided that any abstracts will be transmitted to the non-publishing Party for review and comment at least [***] prior to the proposed submission of such abstract and that Hansoh is only obligated to provide EQRx such review and comment right only to the extent such publication will be in English and will published or made readily available outside of the Hansoh Territory; and (ii) the publishing Party will postpone the publication or presentation upon request by the non-publishing Party in order to allow the consideration of appropriate Patent applications or other protection on information contained in the publication or presentation. Hansoh will provide to EQRx Chinese language publications and publications that are or will be made available solely within the Hansoh Territory by or on behalf of Hansoh for EQRx’s reference purposes. The Parties agree that subject to the foregoing, no prior approval is required in connection with any publication or presentation by Hansoh or its Affiliates.

13.5 Attorney-Client Privilege. Neither Party is waiving, nor will be deemed to have waived or diminished, any of its attorney work product protections, attorney-client privileges or similar protections and privileges as a result of disclosing information pursuant to this Agreement, or any of its Confidential Information (including Confidential Information related to pending or threatened litigation) to the receiving Party, regardless of whether the disclosing Party has asserted, or is or may be entitled to assert, such privileges and protections. The Parties: (a) share a common legal and commercial interest in such disclosure that is subject to such privileges and protections; (b) are or may become joint defendants in proceedings to which the information covered by such protections and privileges relates; (c) intend that such privileges and protections remain intact should either Party become subject to any actual or threatened proceeding to which the disclosing Party’s Confidential Information covered by such protections and privileges relates; and (d) intend that after the Effective Date both the receiving Party and the disclosing Party will have the right to assert such protections and privileges.

15.2 Injunctive Relief; Remedy for Breach of Exclusivity. Nothing in this Article 15 will preclude either Party from seeking equitable relief or interim or provisional relief from a court of competent jurisdiction, including a temporary restraining order, preliminary injunction or other interim equitable relief, concerning a dispute either prior to or during any proceeding if necessary to protect the interests of such Party or to preserve the status quo pending the proceeding. Therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law, including the recovery of damages for breach of this Agreement, upon an adequate showing of material breach, and without further proof of irreparable harm other than this acknowledgement, such non-breaching Party will be entitled to seek (a) immediate equitable relief, specifically including, but not limited to, both interim and permanent restraining orders and injunctions, and (b) such other and further equitable relief as the court may deem proper under the circumstances. For clarity, nothing in this Section 15.2 will otherwise limit a breaching Party’s opportunity to cure a material breach as permitted in accordance with Section 14.3(a) or Section 14.3(b).

MISCELLANEOUS

16.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Schedules hereto, set forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions and understandings between the Parties hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings between the Parties existing as of the Effective Date with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of any inconsistency between any plan hereunder and this Agreement, the terms of this Agreement will prevail. There are no covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions or understandings, either oral or written, between the Parties other than as are set forth herein and therein. No subsequent alteration, amendment, change or addition to this Agreement will be binding upon the Parties unless reduced to writing and signed by an authorized officer of each Party.

16.2 Force Majeure. A Party will be excused from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented or materially delayed by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides written notice of the force majeure and the affected activity(ies) to the other Party. Such excuse will be continued so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition; provided, however, that if the condition constituting force majeure continues for more than [***] the other Party will have the option to terminate this Agreement immediately upon written notice subject to Sections 14.4 and 14.8. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure will mean conditions that (a) as of the Effective Date could not or should not have foreseen and (b) beyond the control of the applicable Party, including an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, pandemic or other health crisis, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, and failure of plant or machinery (provided that such failure could not have been prevented by the exercise of skill, diligence, and prudence that would be reasonably and ordinarily expected from a skilled and experienced person engaged in the same type of undertaking under the same or similar circumstances). The Parties acknowledge that [***] a force majeure under this Agreement.

16.4 No Strict Construction; Headings. This Agreement has been prepared jointly and will not be strictly construed against either Party. Ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement will not be construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision. The headings of each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section.

16.5 Interpretation. Whenever any provision of this Agreement uses the term “including” (or “includes”), such term will be deemed to mean “including without limitation” (or “includes without limitations”). “Herein,” “hereby,” “hereunder,” “hereof” and other equivalent words refer to this Agreement as an entirety and not solely to the particular portion of this Agreement in which any such word is used. The term “or” means “and/or” hereunder. The words “include”, “includes” and “including” will be deemed to be followed by the phrase “without limitation”. The word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall”. Any definition of or reference to any agreement, instrument or other document herein will be construed as referring to such agreement, instrument or other document as from time to time amended, supplemented or otherwise modified (subject to any restrictions on such amendments, supplements or modifications set forth herein). All definitions set forth herein will be deemed applicable whether the words defined are used herein in the singular or the plural. Unless otherwise provided, all references to Sections and Schedules in this Agreement are to Sections and Schedules of this Agreement. References to any Sections include all Sections and subsections that are part of the related Section (e.g., a subsection numbered “Section 3.2” would be part of “Section 3”, and references to “Section 3.2” would also refer to material contained in the subsection described as “Section 3.2(a)”). Unless otherwise stated, dollar amounts set forth in this Agreement are U.S. dollars.

16.6 Assignment. Neither Party may assign or transfer (whether by operation of applicable Law or otherwise) this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other, except that a Party may make such an assignment without the other Party’s consent to an Affiliate (so long as such entity remains an Affiliate) or to a successor to substantially all of the business to which this Agreement relates, whether in a merger, sale of stock, sale of assets, reorganization or other transaction. Any permitted successor or assignee of rights or obligations hereunder will, in a writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights or obligations (and in any event, any Party assigning this Agreement to an Affiliate will remain bound by the terms and conditions hereof). Any permitted assignment will be binding on and inure to the benefit of the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by either Party in violation of the terms of this Section 16.6 will be null, void and of no legal effect.

16.7 Performance by Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by any of its Affiliates of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement, and will cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party’s Affiliate of any of such Party’s obligations under this Agreement will be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party’s Affiliate.

16.8 English Language. This Agreement is written and executed in the English language. Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version of this Agreement and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall prevail. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all documents, minutes, communications and other written materials to be provided by either Party to the JSC pursuant to this Agreement shall be English. All dispute resolution, arbitral and other legal proceedings shall be conducted in English, and all communications and materials exchanged with respect to such proceedings shall be in English.

16.9 Further Actions. Each Party agrees to execute, acknowledge and deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this Agreement.

16.10 Severability. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by an arbitrator or by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision will be considered severed from this Agreement and will not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties will make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable one such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering into this Agreement may be realized.

16.11 No Waiver. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter will not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written and signed waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time.

16.12 Independent Contractors. Each Party will act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement will be construed to give either Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other Party in any way. Nothing herein will be construed to create the relationship of partners, principal and agent, or joint-venture partners between the Parties.

16.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one (1) or more counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.

16.14 Choice of Law. This Agreement will be governed by, and enforced and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflicts of law provisions.
