If, with respect to a Combination Product, CAMP4 or its Affiliate or Sublicensee separately sells in such country or other jurisdiction the Mono Product, but does not separately sell in such country or other jurisdiction the Other Components in such Combination Product, then the Net Sales attributable to such Combination Product will be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction A/C where: “A” is CAMP4’s (or its Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s, as applicable) average Net Sales price during the period to which the Net Sales calculation applies for the Mono Product in such country or other jurisdiction, and “C” is CAMP4’s (or its Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s, as applicable) average Net Sales price in such country or other jurisdiction during the period to which the Net Sales calculation applies for such Combination Product.
If, with respect to a Combination Product, CAMP4 and its Affiliates and Sublicensees do not separately sell in such country or other jurisdiction the Mono Product, but do separately sell the Other Components contained in such Combination Product, then the Net Sales attributable to such Combination Product will be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of such Combination Product by the fraction (C-B)/C where: “C” is CAMP4’s (or its Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s, as applicable) average Net Sales price in such country or other jurisdiction during the period to which the Net Sales calculation applies for such Combination Product and “B” is CAMP4’s (or its Affiliate’s or Sublicensee’s, as applicable) average Net Sales price during the period to which the Net Sales calculation applies in such country or other jurisdiction for the Other Components in such Combination Product.
If, with respect to a Combination Product, CAMP4 and its Affiliates and Sublicensees do not separately sell in such country or other jurisdiction any of the Mono Product or the Other Components in such Combination Product, then the Net Sales attributable to such Combination Product will be determined by CAMP4 in good faith based on the relative fair market value of such Mono Product and such Other Components.

No other information will be shared and such results will be subject to ARTICLE 11 (Confidentiality). If the audit report concludes that additional amounts were owed by CAMP4, then CAMP4 will pay the additional amounts within [***] days after the date on which such audit report is delivered to both Parties, [***] or the highest rate permitted by applicable law, computed from the date the underpayment was made until the date of payment to OPKO of the underpayment. If the audit report concludes that excess payments were made by CAMP4, then CAMP4 may withhold such amounts from any payment that is owed by CAMP4 to OPKO under this Agreement. [***] will [***] of the performance of any such audit, unless such audit discloses [***] of the amount due, in which case [***] will [***] of such audit. The results of such audit will be [***].
7.12 Taxes.
(a) Taxes on Income. Each Party will pay all taxes imposed on its share of income arising directly or indirectly from the efforts of, or the receipt of any payment by, such Party under this Agreement.
(b) Tax Withholding. If any taxes are required to be withheld by CAMP4 with respect to an amount payable to OPKO pursuant to this Agreement, then CAMP4 will: (i) withhold such taxes from the payment made to OPKO; (ii) timely remit the withheld taxes to the proper taxing authority; (iii) send evidence of the payment to OPKO; (iv) send the applicable tax withholding certificates to OPKO; and (v) reasonably assist OPKO in its efforts to obtain a refund of, or credit for, such tax payment in accordance with Section 7.12(c) (Tax Cooperation). Any amount actually withheld and remitted by CAMP4 to a taxing authority pursuant to this Section 7.12(b) (Tax Withholding) will be treated for all purposes of this Agreement as paid to OPKO. No amount will be withheld, or a reduced amount will be withheld, as applicable, if, in accordance with Section 7.12(c) (Tax Cooperation), OPKO furnishes CAMP4 with the necessary tax forms and other documents prescribed by applicable Law a reasonable time prior to the date the applicable payment is due and such forms or document identify that the relevant payment is exempt from tax or subject to a reduced tax rate (as applicable). In the event that a Governmental Authority retroactively determines that a payment made by CAMP4 to OPKO pursuant to this Agreement should have been subject to withholding or similar (or to additional withholding or similar) taxes, and CAMP4 remits such withholding or similar taxes to such Governmental Authority, including any interest and penalties that may be imposed thereon (together with the tax paid, the “Amount”), then CAMP4 may invoice OPKO for the Amount (which will be payable by OPKO no later than 60 days after its receipt of such invoice), provided that CAMP4 has provided documentation to OPKO evidencing the requirement for payment and payment by CAMP4. If OPKO fails to pay the Amount as provided in the foregoing, then CAMP4 may withhold the Amount from any of CAMP4’s future payment obligations under this Agreement or pursue reimbursement of the Amount by any other available remedy.
(c) Tax Cooperation. CAMP4 agrees to cooperate with OPKO and to use reasonable efforts to reduce or eliminate tax withholding or similar obligations in respect of the upfront payment, Royalty Payments, milestone payments and other payments made by CAMP4 to OPKO under this Agreement. OPKO will provide CAMP4 with any tax forms that may be reasonably necessary in order for CAMP4 not to withhold tax or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty a reasonable time prior to the date the applicable payment is due. CAMP4 will provide OPKO with reasonable assistance to enable the recovery, as permitted by Law, of withholding taxes, value added taxes or similar obligations resulting from payments made under this Agreement, such recovery to be for the benefit of OPKO.

If either Party becomes aware of any existing or threatened infringement of any of OPKO Patent Right in the Field in the Territory by a Third Party with respect to a Licensed Compound or Licensed Product (including any generic version thereof) or the Exploitation of any product that is competitive with a Licensed Product (“Competitive Infringement”), then such Party will promptly notify the other Party in writing to that effect.

(b) Enforcement Rights. For any Competitive Infringement, OPKO will share with CAMP4 all information available to it regarding such actual or alleged infringement. As between the Parties, with respect to OPKO Patent Rights, CAMP4 will have the first right, but not obligation, to bring an appropriate suit or other action against any Person engaged in such Competitive Infringement, and OPKO will take appropriate actions to enable CAMP4 to commence such suit or take such actions. If CAMP4 fails to commence enforcement of the OPKO Patent Rights against a Competitive Infringement within a period of 90 days after a request from OPKO to do so, then OPKO may commence a suit or take action to enforce such OPKO Patent Rights against such Competitive Infringement; provided that, if CAMP4 notifies OPKO during such 90day period that it is electing in good faith not to institute any proceeding to enforce any OPKO Patent Rights against such Competitive Infringement for strategic reasons intended to maintain the commercial value of the relevant OPKO Patent Rights or any Licensed Compound or Licensed Product Covered thereby or relating thereto, then OPKO will not have the right to initiate and control any proceeding to enforce such OPKO Patent Rights against such Competitive Infringement. OPKO will not settle any claim, suit, or action that it brought under Section 8.5(b) (Enforcement Rights) with respect to OPKO Patent Rights in any manner that imposes any costs or liability on, or involves any admission by, CAMP4 or reduces the scope, validity or enforceability of any OPKO Patent Right.
(c) Collaboration. Each Party will provide to the enforcing Party reasonable assistance in such enforcement, at such [***], including joining such action as a party plaintiff if required by applicable Law to pursue such action in accordance with this Section 8.5 (Patent Right and Know-How Enforcement in the Territory). The enforcing Party will keep the other Party regularly informed of the status and progress of such enforcement efforts, will reasonably consider the other Party’s comments on any such efforts. The non-enforcing Party may obtain separate representation in such matter by counsel of its own choice and at its own expense, but such Party will at all times cooperate fully with the enforcing Party.
(d) Expenses and Recoveries.
(i) The enforcing Party bringing a claim, suit, or action under Section 8.5(b) (Enforcement Rights) will [***] by such Party, or [***], as a result of such claim, suit, or action or as a result of any counterclaims relating to such claim, suit, or action.

8.6 Third Party Claims. Subject to the indemnification rights or obligations of a Party under ARTICLE 10 (Indemnification), if a Licensed Product used or sold by CAMP4 or its Affiliates or Sublicensees becomes the subject of a Third Party’s claim or assertion of infringement of a Patent Right (each such claim or assertion a “Third Party Claim”) granted by a jurisdiction within the Territory, then CAMP4 will have the [***] such Third Party Claim at [***]. OPKO will, [***], reasonably assist CAMP4 in such defense, including assisting with document collection and production and cooperating with all discovery requests, and will at all times cooperate fully with CAMP4.
8.7 Trademarks. CAMP4 will have the [***] right to determine and own all Product Trademarks to be used with respect to the Exploitation of the Licensed Products in the Territory. CAMP4 will own all rights, title, and interests in and to all Product Trademarks in the Territory. OPKO will not, and will not permit its Affiliates to, (a) use in their respective businesses, any Trademark that is confusingly similar to, misleading, or deceptive with respect to or that dilutes any (or any part) of any Product Trademarks, and (b) do any act that endangers, destroys, or similarly affects, in any respect, the value of the goodwill pertaining to the Product Trademarks. OPKO will not, and will not permit its Affiliates to, attack, dispute, or contest the validity of or ownership of any Product Trademark anywhere in the Territory or any registrations issued or issuing with respect thereto.

12.3 Termination for Breach.
- 29 -
CERTAIN IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED FROM THIS EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT IS BOTH NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE REGISTRANT IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED. OMISSIONS ARE IDENTIFIED AS [***]
(a) Notice. If a Party materially breaches this Agreement with respect to a Licensed Product or country in the Territory (other than any obligations to make any payments due under this Agreement) (the “Breaching Party”), then the other Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may give written notice to the Breaching Party identifying such material breach in reasonable detail (a “Default Notice”) and the Breaching Party will cure such material breach within [***] days after delivery of the Default Notice, provided that if such material breach is not reasonably capable of cure within such [***]-day period and if the Breaching Party continues to use reasonable efforts to cure such material breach, then the [***] day cure period will be automatically extended for an additional [***] days, or such [***].
(b) Process for Disputes. If a Non-Breaching Party provides a Default Notice to the Breaching Party pursuant to Section 12.3(a) (Notice) as a result of a material breach (or alleged material breach) then, on or before the end of the cure period therefor, either Party will have the right to refer the matter to the designated executive officer of OPKO and the designated executive officer of CAMP4 (or their respective designees) (the “Executive Officers”) pursuant to Section 13.1 (Referral of Disputes to Parties Executive Officers) before terminating this Agreement in accordance with the process set forth in Section 12.3(c) (Process for Termination). The cure period set forth in Section 12.3(a) (Notice) will be tolled during the pendency of such dispute, and all of the terms of this Agreement will remain in effect and the Parties will continue to perform all of their respective obligations hereunder.
(c) Process for Termination. If the material breach is so cured within the remainder of the cure period, whether without or after the procedure set forth in Section 12.3(b) (Process for Disputes), then this Agreement will remain in full force and effect. If (i) the material breach is not cured within the remainder of the cure period or settled pursuant to Section 12.3(b) (Process for Disputes) and (ii) OPKO is the Non-Breaching Party, then, within [***] days after the end of such cure period, the Non-Breaching Party will send written notice to the Breaching Party advising of the termination of this Agreement with respect to all or a portion of the Territory, as the case may be, in accordance with this Section 12.3(c) (Process for Termination), or if CAMP4 is the Non-Breaching Party, advising OPKO of its election provided in this Section 12.3(c) (Process for Termination), and such termination (or such other election, if applicable) will be effective upon the Breaching Party’s receipt of such written notice. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, if an uncured material breach by CAMP4 relates to one or more countries (but not all countries) and one or more Licensed Products (but not all Licensed Products), then except as provided in the subsequent provisos of this Section 12.3(c) (Process for Termination), OPKO will not have the right to terminate this Agreement in its entirety, but will only have the right to terminate this Agreement with respect to the countries to which such material breach relates. Any region or country (as applicable) with respect to which this Agreement is terminated will be referred to herein as a “Terminated Region” (and if this Agreement is terminated in its entirety, then all countries will be Terminated Regions) and any Licensed Product with respect to which this Agreement is terminated will be referred to herein as a “Terminated Product” (and if this Agreement is terminated in its entirety, then all Licensed Products will be Terminated Products).
(d) Alternative Remedies to Termination. If OPKO fails to cure its material breach of this Agreement within the applicable time period set forth in Section 12.3(a) and such breach is not settled pursuant to Section 12.3(b) (Process for Disputes), CAMP4 may elect, in lieu of terminating this Agreement as a result of such material breach, the alternative remedy provisions of this Section 12.3(d) (Alternative Remedies to Termination) by providing written notice of such election to OPKO, in which case, this Agreement will continue in full force and effect and (i) the milestone payments under Section 7.4 (Milestone Payments) will be [***] and royalty payments under Section 7.5 (Royalty Payments) will be [***] (after giving effect to all other applicable [***] under Section 7.6 (Royalty Payment Adjustments)), and (ii) CAMP4’s reporting obligations under Section 3.4 (Development Reports) and 6.3 (Commercialization Updates) will terminate.

12.4 Effect of Expiration or Termination.
(a) Expiration. Upon expiry of the Term on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, all rights and licenses granted by OPKO under this Agreement with respect to such Licensed Product or country will remain in effect in accordance with their terms and will become irrevocable, unrestricted, perpetual, and fully paid up.
(b) Effects of Termination. Upon the termination of this Agreement in its entirety, on a country-by-country basis or on a Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis, then each of the following will apply with respect to such applicable Terminated Region or Terminated Product:
(i) Termination of CAMP4’s Licenses. As of the effective date of termination of this Agreement with respect to a Licensed Product, all licenses and all other rights granted by OPKO to CAMP4 under Section 2.1(a) (OPKO License Grant to CAMP4) with respect to the Terminated Products will terminate, and CAMP4 shall have no further rights under the OPKO Patent Rights or OPKO Know How to develop, manufacture or market the Terminated Products or any product containing the Terminated Products.
(ii) Reversion Rights. At OPKO’s written request, CAMP4 [***] under which CAMP4 will:
(A) transfer to OPKO or OPKO’s designee, [***]: (1) possession and ownership of all governmental or regulatory correspondence, conversation logs, filings and approvals (including all Regulatory Approvals and pricing and reimbursement approvals) in CAMP4’s control and relating solely to the development, manufacture or commercialization of the Terminated Product and all product trademarks then being used in connection with Terminated Product, other than CAMP4’s corporate trademarks; and (2) all safety data and other adverse event data in CAMP4’s Control and relating solely to the Terminated Product. In addition, OPKO shall have the right to purchase all raw materials and ingredients and Terminated Product in CAMP4’S possession or control at the applicable cost of goods of such raw materials, ingredients or Terminated Product. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CAMP4 shall be entitled to sell any completed inventory of Terminated Product which remain on hand as of the date of the termination, and to sell new inventory to the extent necessary to satisfy its contractual and legal obligations, so long as CAMP4 pays to OPKO the royalties applicable to said subsequent sales in accordance with the terms and conditions as set forth in this Agreement; provided that no sales shall be permitted after the expiration of [***] months after the date of termination. CAMP4 will execute all documents and take all such further actions, as may be reasonably requested by OPKO in order to give effect to the preceding sentences as soon as practicable.
(B) in the event of termination of this Agreement by OPKO [***], CAMP4 will grant to OPKO a royalty-bearing, worldwide, non-exclusive, sublicensable, license under any Know-How conceived, discovered, developed, or otherwise made solely or jointly by or on behalf of by CAMP4 or its Affiliates in the performance of activities under this Agreement to the extent constituting an improvement of the OPKO Know-How, and any Patent Rights Controlled by CAMP4 that Cover such improvement Know-How, solely to the extent necessary or reasonably useful to manufacture, market, sell or use such Terminated Product as it existed as of the effective date of termination, bearing royalties on the worldwide Net Sales of such Terminated Product (including Net Sales by OPKO’s Affiliates and licensees) as set forth below in Table 12.4(b)(ii)(B) and subject to Section 7.9 (Payment Method; Late Payments), 7.10 (Records), 7.11 (Audits) and 7.12 (Taxes), applied mutatis mutandis (replacing references to CAMP4 with OPKO and vice versa):

Each Party will promptly return to the other Party (or as directed by such other Party destroy and certify to such other Party in writing as to such destruction) all of such other Party’s Confidential Information provided by or on behalf of such other Party hereunder that is in the possession or control of such Party (or any of its Affiliates, or Sublicensees), except that such Party will have the right to retain copies of intangible Confidential Information of such other Party for legal purposes. Notwithstanding any provision to the contrary set forth in this Agreement, the receiving Party of any Confidential Information will not be required to destroy electronic files containing such Confidential Information that are made in the ordinary course of its business information back-up procedures pursuant to its electronic record retention and destruction practices that apply to its own general electronic files and information.
(iv) Other Remedies. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason will not release either Party from any liability or obligation that already has accrued prior to such expiration or termination, nor affect the survival of any provision hereof to the extent it is expressly stated to survive such termination. Termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason will not constitute a waiver or release of, or otherwise be deemed to prejudice or adversely affect, any rights, remedies or claims, whether for damages or otherwise, that a Party may have hereunder or that may arise out of or in connection with such termination or expiration.
12.5 Rights in Bankruptcy.
(a) All rights and licenses now or hereafter granted by OPKO to CAMP4 under or pursuant to this Agreement, including the licenses granted to CAMP4 pursuant to Section 2.1 (Licenses), are, for all purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code. Upon the occurrence of any insolvency event with respect to OPKO, OPKO agrees that CAMP4, as CAMP4 of such rights under this Agreement, will retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, OPKO and CAMP4 intend and agree that any sale of OPKO’s assets under Section 363 of the Bankruptcy Code will be subject to CAMP4’s rights under Section 365(n), that CAMP4 cannot be compelled to accept a money satisfaction of its interests in the intellectual property licensed pursuant to this Agreement, and that any such sale therefore may not be made to a purchaser “free and clear” of CAMP4’s rights under this Agreement and Section 365(n) without the express, contemporaneous consent of CAMP4. Further, each Party agrees and acknowledges that all payments by CAMP4 to OPKO hereunder, other than the Royalty Payments pursuant to Section 7.5 (Royalty Payments), do not constitute royalties within the meaning of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code or relate to licenses of intellectual property hereunder. OPKO will, during the term of this Agreement, create and maintain current copies or, if not amenable to copying, detailed descriptions or other appropriate embodiments, to the extent feasible, of all such intellectual property. OPKO and CAMP4 acknowledge and agree that “embodiments” of intellectual property within the meaning of Section 365(n) include laboratory notebooks, cell lines, product samples and inventory, research studies, and data, regulatory approvals. If (i) a case under the Bankruptcy Code is commenced by or against OPKO, (ii) this Agreement is rejected as provided in the Bankruptcy Code, and (iii) CAMP4 elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in
- 32 -
CERTAIN IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED FROM THIS EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT IS BOTH NOT MATERIAL AND WOULD LIKELY CAUSE COMPETITIVE HARM TO THE REGISTRANT IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED. OMISSIONS ARE IDENTIFIED AS [***]
Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, then OPKO (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a trustee) will:
( ) provide to CAMP4 all such intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) held by OPKO and such successors and assigns, or otherwise available to them, immediately upon CAMP4’s written request. Whenever OPKO or any of its successors or assigns provides to CAMP4 any of the intellectual property licensed hereunder (or any embodiment thereof) pursuant to this Section 12.5(a) (Rights in Bankruptcy), CAMP4 will have the right to perform OPKO’s obligations hereunder with respect to such intellectual property, but neither such provision nor such performance by CAMP4 will release OPKO from liability resulting from rejection of the license or the failure to perform such obligations; and
(i) not interfere with CAMP4’s rights under this Agreement, or any agreement supplemental hereto, to such intellectual property (including such embodiments), including any right to obtain such intellectual property (or such embodiments) from another entity, to the extent provided in Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code.
(b) All rights, powers, and remedies of CAMP4 provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers, and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including the Bankruptcy Code) in the event of the commencement of a case under the Bankruptcy Code with respect to OPKO. The Parties agree that they intend the following rights to extend to the maximum extent permitted by law, and to be enforceable under Bankruptcy Code Section 365(n):
(i) the right of access to any intellectual property (including all embodiments thereof) of OPKO, or any Third Party with whom OPKO contracts to perform an obligation of OPKO under this Agreement, and, in the case of the Third Party, which is necessary for the manufacture, use, sale, import, or export of Licensed Products; and
(ii) the right to contract directly with any Third Party to complete the contracted work.
12.6 Survival. Termination or expiration of this Agreement (either in its entirety or with respect to one (1) or more countries) for any reason will be without prejudice to any rights that will have accrued to the benefit of a Party prior to such termination or expiration. For clarity, termination for breach by either Party under Section 12.3 (Termination for Breach), will not preclude the terminating Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at Law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement nor prejudice either Party’s right to obtain performance of any obligation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, the following provisions will survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: ARTICLE 1 (Definitions), ARTICLE 10 (Indemnification), ARTICLE 11 (Confidentiality), ARTICLE 13 (Dispute Resolution), ARTICLE 14 (Miscellaneous), and Sections 7.8 (Foreign Exchange), 7.9 (Payment Method; Late Payments), 7.10 (Records), 7.11 (Audits), 7.12 (Taxes), 8.1 (Ownership of Existing Know-How and Patent Rights), 8.2 (Ownership of Sole Inventions), 8.4(c) (Cooperation), 8.6 (Third Party Claim) (but with respect to 8.4(c) (Cooperation) and 8.6 (Third Party Claim), solely with respect to actions that are ongoing at the time of such termination), 12.4 (Effect of Expiration or Termination) and 12.6 (Survival). Except as expressly set forth herein, all rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder will terminate on the expiration or termination of this Agreement.

13.5 Waiver of Jury Trial. Each Party hereby waives to the fullest extent permitted by applicable Law, any right it may have to a trial by jury in respect to any litigation directly or indirectly arising out of, under or in connection with this Agreement.

14.1 Entire Agreement; Amendment. This Agreement, including the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, together with any other documents delivered pursuant hereto or thereto sets forth the complete, final and exclusive agreement and all the covenants, promises, agreements, warranties, representations, conditions, and understandings between the Parties hereto and thereto and their Affiliates with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes, as of the Effective Date, all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, including the Prior CDA. 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.
14.2 Force Majeure. Both Parties will be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure; provided that the non-performing Party promptly provides notice of the start and stop of such force majeure event to the other Party. Such excuse will continue for so long as the condition constituting force majeure continues and the non-performing Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition as soon as possible. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure is a condition beyond the reasonable control of the affected Party and without fault of such Party affected, including an act of God, war, civil commotion, terrorist act, epidemic, public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe. Performance will be excused only to the extent of and during the reasonable continuance of such force majeure event. Any deadline or time for performance that falls during or subsequent to the occurrence of any of the force majeure events referred will be automatically extended for a period of time equal to the period of such event. If a force majeure persists for more than 120 days, then the Parties will discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties’ obligations under this Agreement or whether termination of this Agreement (and commercially reasonable terms associated with any such termination) should result to mitigate the delays caused by such force majeure.
14.3 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Agreement will be in writing, will specifically refer to this Agreement, and will be addressed to the appropriate Party at the address specified below or such other address as may be specified by such Party in writing in accordance with this Section 14.3 (Notices), and will be deemed to have been given for all purposes (a) when received, if hand-delivered or sent by a reputable courier service, or (b) five Business Days after mailing, if mailed by first class certified or registered airmail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested.

necessary to consummate or implement expeditiously the express purposes and intent contemplated by this Agreement.
14.8 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Except for the rights to indemnification provided for under ARTICLE 10 (Indemnification) above, all rights, benefits and remedies under this Agreement are solely intended for the benefit of OPKO and CAMP4, and except for such rights to indemnification expressly provided pursuant to ARTICLE 10 (Indemnification), no Third Party will have any rights whatsoever to: (a) enforce any obligation contained in this Agreement; (b) seek a benefit or remedy for any breach of this Agreement; or (c) take any other action relating to this Agreement under any legal theory, including actions in contract, tort (including negligence, gross negligence and strict liability), or as a defense, setoff or counterclaim to any action or claim brought or made by the Parties.
14.9 Severability. Each of the provisions contained in this Agreement will be severable, and the unenforceability of one will not affect the enforceability of any others or of the remainder of this Agreement. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, or the application thereof in any circumstances, is held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any respect for any reason, the Parties will negotiate in good faith with a view to the substitution therefor of a suitable and equitable solution to carry out, so far as may be valid and enforceable, the intent and purpose of such invalid provision; provided, however, that the validity, legality and enforceability of any such provision in every other respect and of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not be in any way impaired thereby, it being intended that all of the rights and privileges of the Parties hereto will be enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by Law. The Parties agree that if a court finds that the scope of any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement will, for any reason, be invalid, illegal, excessively broad, unreasonable or unenforceable in any respect, then the court may modify such provision and render it reasonable.
14.10 No Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver will be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. The waiver, delay or the failure of any Party to enforce or exercise any term, condition or part of this Agreement at any time or in any one or more instances will not be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term, condition or part, nor will it forfeit any rights, power or privilege to future enforcement thereof. No single or partial exercise of any right, power or privilege will preclude any other or further exercise of such right, power or privilege or the exercise of any other right, power or privilege. To the maximum extent permitted by Law, (a) no claim or right arising out of this Agreement or any of the documents referred to in this Agreement can be discharged by one Party, in whole or in part, by a waiver or renunciation of the claim or right unless in writing signed by the other Party; (b) no waiver that may be given by a Party will be applicable except in the specific instance for which it is given; and (c) no notice to or demand on one Party will be deemed to be a waiver of any obligation of that Party or of the right of the Party giving such notice or demand to take further action without notice or demand as provided in this Agreement or the documents referred to in this Agreement. Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, all rights and remedies available to a Party, whether under this Agreement or afforded by Law or otherwise, will be cumulative and not in the alternative to any other rights or remedies that may be available to such Party.
14.11 Relationship of the Parties. Neither Party will have any responsibility for the hiring, termination or compensation of the other Party’s employees or for any employee benefits of such employee. No employee or representative of a Party will have any authority to bind or obligate the other Party to this Agreement for any sum or in any manner whatsoever, or to create or impose any contractual or other liability on the other Party without said Party’s approval. For all purposes, and notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, OPKO and CAMP4 will be independent contractors and the legal relationship between the Parties will not constitute a partnership, joint venture, or agency, including for all tax purposes. This Agreement is not a partnership or deemed partnership or an Association of Person (“AOP”) agreement. Nothing in this Agreement will be construed to establish a relationship of partners, AOPs or joint venturers between the Parties. Neither CAMP4 nor OPKO will
