13.2.2. | Assignment by Wyeth. Wyeth shall not assign this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder to any Third Party without the prior written consent of Teva, which consent may not be unreasonably withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Wyeth may assign this Agreement in whole to (i) any of its Affiliate for so long as they remain Affiliates, or (ii) in connection with its merger, reorganization or consolidation or the sale of all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement relates; provided, however, that (i) any such assignment shall not relieve Wyeth of any of its responsibilities for performance of its obligations under this Agreement, and (ii) in the event of any such assignment, no Patent Rights of the assignee shall be included in the Patent Rights licensed to Teva hereunder if such Patent Rights were not so licensed prior to such assignment. Wyeth shall promptly provide Teva with written notice of any such assignment. |
13.2.3. | Binding Nature of Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the legal representatives, successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Any assignment not in accordance with this Section 13.2 shall be void. |
13.3. | No Waiver. The failure of either Party to require performance by the other Party of any of that other Party’s obligations hereunder shall in no manner affect the right of such Party to enforce the same at a later time. No waiver by any Party of any condition, or of the breach of any provision, term, representation or warranty contained in this Agreement, whether by conduct or otherwise, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach, or of any other condition or of the breach of any other provision, term, representation or warranty hereof. |
13.4. | Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Party or circumstance will, to any extent, be held to be invalid or unenforceable, then (i) the remainder of this Agreement, or the application of such provision to Parties or circumstances other than those as to which it is held invalid or unenforceable, will not be affected thereby and each provision of this Agreement will be valid and be enforced to the fullest extent permitted by law, and (ii) the Parties covenant and agree to renegotiate any such provision in good faith in order to provide a reasonably acceptable alternative to such provision or the application thereof that is invalid or unenforceable, it being the intent of the Parties that the basic purposes and business intent of this Agreement are to be effectuated, with the consequence that this Agreement shall terminate in full if the Parties are unable to renegotiate and agree on such provision. |
