Upon the sooner of the expiration or termination of this Agreement or the conclusion of the Services under the applicable Statement of Work, each party shall, in accordance with the other party’s instructions, return to the other party, or destroy at the other party’s option with written certification of such destruction sent to the other party’s mailing address for correspondence, all unused Confidential Information of the other party.
12.4 Injunctive Relief. Each party acknowledges that its breach of this Article 12 may cause irreparable injury to the party disclosing its Confidential Information and that such disclosing party may not be made whole by monetary damages. It is agreed accordingly that each party, in addition to any other remedy to which it is entitled, shall be entitled to seek and obtain injunctive and other equitable relief as a court of competent jurisdiction may order to prevent breaches of, and to compel specific performance of, the obligations of this Article 12. Each party hereby waives any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with any such remedy. Such remedies shall not be deemed to be the exclusive remedies for a breach of this Article 12 but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or equity.
12.5 Limitations. Neither party shall have any confidentiality and non-use obligations to the extent any information: (a) is public knowledge at the time of disclosure; (b) was demonstrably known by the receiving party before disclosure by the disclosing party, (c) becomes public knowledge or otherwise known to the receiving party after such disclosure, other than by breach of a confidentiality obligation; or (d) is independently developed by the receiving party by persons without use of or access to such Confidential Information, as demonstrated by contemporaneous written records.
13. TERMINATION
13.1 Termination for Convenience. Sponsor may terminate this Agreement in its entirety or any Statement of Work at any time upon either (a) thirty (30) days written notice to BBL, if no Statements of Work are operational under the Agreement at the time of termination, or otherwise (b) upon ninety (90) days written notice to BBL, (a) or (b) to be known as (“Cancellation Notice Period”).

Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any such termination by Sponsor, Sponsor promptly shall pay to BBL all fees and other amounts due and owing under this Agreement and the applicable Statement(s) of Work for Services rendered and expenses incurred as of the effective date of termination.
13.2 Termination for Cause. In addition to Sponsor’s termination rights otherwise set forth herein, either party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement and/or any Statement of Work in the event of any material breach by the other party (including but not limited to any failure by Sponsor to make payments when due and any failure on the part of BBL to meet work deadlines as outlined in the applicable Statement of Work) if such breach is not cured within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice thereof or within ten (10) days after receipt of such notice if such breach relates to the payment of fees or other amounts owed by Sponsor that are not subject to a bona-fide dispute evidenced in writing from Sponsor to BBL. Upon any such termination, Sponsor promptly shall pay to BBL all fees and other undisputed amounts due and owing under this Agreement and the applicable Statement(s) of Work for Services rendered and expenses incurred as of the effective date of termination. In the event of termination by Sponsor, Sponsor shall also pay BBL for other costs directly incurred by BBL activities necessary as a result from such early termination, and approved in writing and in advance by Sponsor.

14. ASSIGNMENT - SUBCONTRACTORS
Neither party shall, without the prior written consent of the non-assigning party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, assign this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder, whether by operation of law or otherwise, except that no such consent is needed for any assignment to an affiliate or any entity that acquires all or substantially all of the assets of that party or to any successor in a merger or acquisition of that party, provided that any such assignment by Sponsor shall in no way expand the scope of Services to be performed or the costs to be incurred by BBL under this Agreement or any applicable Statement of Work. Notwithstanding the foregoing, BBL shall be entitled to retain from time to time, the services of subcontractors to provide Services under this Agreement, provided, however, that any such subcontractors to be used by BBL to provide services hereunder shall be consented to by Sponsor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Fees for such subcontractors shall be applied to and paid by BBL as part of the fees paid by Sponsor to BBL hereunder.
15. NOTICES

16.3 Non-Solicitation of Employees.
16.3.1 Sponsor shall not knowingly solicit or hire any current or former employee of BBL if doing so will cause such person to violate the terms of any employment agreement with BBL unless BBL consents to such employment. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit Sponsor from hiring any person who responds to a job posting advertised in publications of general circulation. The terms of this Section shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months after any termination or expiration of this Agreement or, with respect to any particular employee, for a period of twelve (12) months after any termination of such employee’s employment with BBL. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained herein, Sponsor may offer employment to any Key Person that they have received notice of intent to terminate from BBL or have given voluntary resignation notice to BBL pursuant to Section 7.1.9.
16.3.2 BBL shall not knowingly solicit or hire any current or former employee of Sponsor if doing so will cause such person to violate the terms of any employment agreement with Sponsor unless Sponsor consents to such employment. Nothing contained herein shall prohibit BBL from hiring any person who responds to a job posting advertised in publications of general circulation. The terms of this Section shall survive for a period of twelve (12) months after any termination or expiration of this Agreement or, with respect to any particular employee, for a period of twelve (12) months after any termination of such employee’s employment with Sponsor.
16.4 Governing Law. This Agreement will in all events and for all purposes shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York, irrespective of its choice of law principles that would dictate the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The parties hereby agree to exclude, waive and opt-out of any application of the United Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.
16.5 Severability; Enforcement; No Waiver. If any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, in any jurisdiction, it will not affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining terms and provisions hereof or the validity or enforceability of the offending term or provision and this Agreement shall be deemed amended to delete or modify, as necessary, the invalid or unenforceable provision to render it valid, enforceable and, insofar as possible, consistent with the original intent of the parties. The failure of a party to require performance of any obligations of the other party hereunder shall not be deemed a waiver and shall not affect its right to enforce any provision of this Agreement at a subsequent time.
16.6 Construction; Headings. Titles and headings to sections in this Agreement are inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement. If an ambiguity or question of intent arises, this Agreement shall be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring either party
13
by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. The terms “herein,” “hereof,” “hereunder” and similar expressions refer to this Agreement and not to any particular section or other portion hereof.
16.7 Counterparts. This Agreement, any Research Plan, Statements of Work or Change Order entered into hereunder may be executed in one or more duplicate counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument. Delivery of an executed counterpart of this Agreement, any Research Plan, any Statement of Work, or of any Change Order electronically or by facsimile shall be effective as delivery of an original executed counterpart of this Amendment.
16.8 Amendment. Any term or provision of this Agreement may be amended, and the observance of any term of this Agreement may be waived, only by a writing signed by both parties to be bound thereby.
16.9 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for failure or delay in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement if the failure or delay results from any natural disaster, act of war or terrorism, is required in order to comply with any governmental regulation, request or order, or is necessitated by other circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the party so failing or delaying. Notwithstanding the above, strikes, work stoppage or slowdown, and labor disputes, whether or not such labor event is in the control of the parties, shall not constitute an excusable delay for either party under this Agreement. Each party agrees to notify the other party promptly of any factor, occurrence or event coming to its attention that may affect its ability to meet its obligations under this Agreement.
16.10 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all Research Plans, Statements of Work and Change Orders entered into hereunder, constitute the entire understanding and agreement of the parties, whether written or oral, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements or understandings between the parties with respect to the Services and Deliverables to be furnished by BBL hereunder. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and a Research Plan, Statement of Work or Change Order, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall prevail, provided that the parties may agree in a Statement of Work to supersede the terms of this Agreement by specifically identifying and approving in the applicable Statement of Work the specific terms to be superseded, in which case such terms shall govern only with respect to that particular Statement of Work. Any terms set forth on a purchase order or other written documentation provided by Sponsor are hereby rejected and shall not be binding on BBL.
