Exhibit 10.21 P a g e | 13 This document is confidential. Disclosure to third parties not permitted. 20.3 Waiver by either Party of any term of this Agreement in any one or more instances is not deemed to be a waiver of its rights with respect to any subsequent failure. 20.4 The relationship of the Parties is that of independent contractors, and neither Party is permitted to incur any debts or make any commitments for the other Party except to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement is intended to create or should be construed as creating between the Parties the relationship of joint venturers, co-partners, employer/employee or principal and agent. 20.5 Cardinal Health may not subcontract all or any portion of the Services without the prior written consent of Client. For clarity, shipping services provided by common transportation carriers (including Cardinal Health’s Exclusive Pharmaceutical Transportation Network or EPTN) and Product destruction services provided by a third-party vendor are not considered to be contracted services as related to this Agreement and therefore the businesses performing such services are not considered subcontractors. It is expressly understood that Cardinal Health is not responsible for the performance of shipping services by common carriers for or on behalf of Client unless otherwise stated in this Agreement. 20.6 Neither Party is permitted to make any press release or other public disclosure regarding this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby without the other Party's express prior written consent, except as required under applicable law or by any governmental agency, in which case the Party required to make the press release or public disclosure agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain the approval of the other Party as to the form, nature and extent of the press release or public disclosure prior to issuing the press release or making the public disclosure. Cardinal Health is not permitted to make any promotion or advertisement, including any activity on social media, which relates to any Product or any [ *** ], without the prior written consent of Client. 20.7 Neither Party is liable in damages for or is considered in breach of this Agreement due to any delay or default in such Party’s performance hereunder if such default or delay is caused by events beyond such Party’s reasonable control including, but not limited to, acts of God, regulation or law or other action or failure to act of any government or agency thereof, war or insurrection, civil commotion, destruction of production facilities or materials by earthquake, fire, flood or storm, labor disturbances, epidemic; provided however, that the Party seeking relief hereunder is required to immediately notify the other Party of such cause(s) beyond such Party’s reasonable control. The Party that may invoke this Section is required to use all reasonable endeavors to reinstate its ongoing obligations to the other Party. If the cause(s) continues unabated for thirty (30) days, then both Parties agree to meet to discuss modifications to this Agreement that should result from such force majeure event. 20.8 This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties, their successors and permitted assigns. Neither Party may assign this Agreement, voluntarily or involuntarily, whether by operation of law or any other manner, without the prior written consent of the other Party. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement to an Affiliate, provided such Party notifies the other Party in advance and such Affiliate is not related to the assigning party as the consequence of a Change of Control. For the avoidance of doubt, an assignment for purposes of this Section includes a Change of Control. 20.9 [ *** ]. 20.10 In the event that any applicable federal, state or local law, rule, regulation, policy, or any interpretation thereof, during the Term, is modified, implemented, threatened to be implemented, or determined to prohibit, substantially restrict or in any way materially affect this Agreement or either Party's performance under the terms of this Agreement (each of the foregoing being hereinafter referred to as a "Change"), then the Parties agree to promptly negotiate an amendment to this Agreement to preserve the expectations of the Parties to the greatest extent possible in a manner consistent with any such Change.
