Furthermore, the Parties acknowledge and agree that, with respect to the [***], Net Sales shall be determined based on [***], provided that, in the [***]. For purposes of determining when a sale of any Licensed Products occurs for purposes of calculating Net Sales, the sale will be deemed to occur on date the Licensed Products are shipped.

In the event that the Selling Party includes one or more Licensed Product as part of a bundle of products, the price for such Licensed Products shall be deemed to be the standard invoice price for such Licensed Products when sold separately and not as part of a bundle of products. In the event that no separate prices are charged in the applicable transaction, then Net Sales for such bundle shall be determined based on the list price for the Licensed Product and the other products or services in the relevant country during the accounting period in which the sale was made. If no list price exists in such country for the Licensed Product or the other products or services that are part of the bundle, then Net Sales for such bundle shall be equitably determined based on the fair market value of the Product relative to that of the other products or services.

Each Committee shall meet at least once each Calendar Quarter, or more or less often as agreed to by the Parties; provided that either Party may also call a special meeting of any Committee on an ad hoc basis upon at least seven (7) days’ prior Notice in order to address urgent matters which cannot be reasonably postponed until the next meeting of such Committee. Meetings may be held in person or by means of electronic communication (including telephone, video or web conferences). Each Committee may invite non-members (including consultants and advisors of a Party who are under an obligation of confidentiality consistent with this Agreement) to participate in the discussions and meetings of such Committee, as non-voting observers; provided, however, that all such Third Party attendees at such meetings must be subject to obligations of confidentiality and non-use applicable to the Confidential Information of each Party that are at least as stringent as those set forth in Article 11. Following any Committee meeting, the administrative chair, in the case of the JSC, and a co-chairperson, on an alternating basis, in the case of the JDC or JCC, will be responsible for preparing and issuing minutes of such meeting within thirty (30) days thereafter. Such minutes will not be finalized until a representative of the other Party has reviewed and confirmed the accuracy of such minutes in writing.

3.4 Limitations of Powers. The JSC and the subcommittees will have only such powers as are specifically delegated to them hereunder and will not be a substitute for the rights of the Parties. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, neither the JSC nor any subcommittee will have any power to amend, modify or waive compliance with this Agreement (without limiting the right of the JSC to approve amendments to the Core Development Plan) and the JSC and subcommittees are otherwise subject to the express terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any amendment to the terms and conditions of this Agreement may only be implemented pursuant to Section 17.7 below.
19
3.5 Decision-Making.
3.5.1 Actions by Unanimous Vote. Subject to the terms of this Section 3.5, the JSC and the subcommittees will make decisions by unanimous vote with each Party having a single vote, irrespective of the number of representatives actually in attendance at a meeting, or by a written resolution signed by the designated representatives to the JSC or a subcommittee, as applicable, of each of the Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the approval of all Development budgets and Marketing Budgets and any updates or amendments thereto by the JSC will require the unanimous vote with each Party having a single vote. The JSC members shall use good faith efforts to reach agreement on any and all matters submitted to the JSC. If the JSC fails to reach unanimous consent on a particular matter within thirty (30) days of a Party having requested a formal vote on such matter (or, if such matter is urgent, within seven (7) days of such request) or within thirty (30) days of referral of a matter from a subcommittee, then such dispute will be subject to the resolution procedures described in Sections 3.5.2 and 3.5.3.
3.5.2 Referral of Disputes for Resolution. If any subcommittee fails to reach unanimous agreement on a matter after it is presented for decision for a period in excess of thirty (30) days (or, if such matter is urgent, within seven (7) days of such request), the matter will be referred to the JSC. Unless the JSC decides to continue discussing the issue, the JSC will have meetings within thirty (30) days of receiving the dispute submission to reach unanimous consensus on a resolution. If the JSC is unable to reach a resolution of any matter referred up to the JSC (either after the first meeting or any mutually agreed continued discussions), then the matter shall be promptly discussed by the senior executives of the Parties.
3.5.3 Final Resolution of Disputes. In the event that any dispute within the JSC or a subcommittee is not resolved pursuant to the terms of Sections 3.5.1 and 3.5.2 then final decision-making authority will be as follows: (a) if the matter pertains to a dispute with respect to [***], then the dispute shall be resolved by [***]; provided, however, that [***] will have the authority to make the final decision (except that increases to the unanimously approved budget shall not exceed [***] of the [***] budget without KHK’s prior written consent) until the earlier of (i) [***] and (ii) [***] (subject to extensions, if any, applicable pursuant to Sections 15.3.1(b) or 15.3.1(c)(i)) and that [***] will have the authority to make the final decision in the [***] on and after the [***] and in the [***] on and after the [***] except with respect to the [***]; (b) if the matter pertains to a dispute with respect to [***] in the [***], then [***] will have the authority to make the final decision in the [***] through the day immediately preceding the [***], and [***] will have the authority to make the final decision in the [***] beginning on the [***]; (c) if the matter pertains to a dispute with respect to [***] in the [***], then the dispute shall be resolved by [***] through the day immediately preceding the [***] (subject to Section 6.1.7(b)), and, beginning on the [***], [***] will have the authority to make the final decision with respect to such dispute in the [***]; (d) if the matter pertains the [***], then [***] will have the authority to make the final decision; provided that in each case such decision will be consistent with Applicable Laws; and (e) if the matter pertains to the [***], then [***] will have the authority to make the final decision, provided that in each case such decision will be consistent with Applicable Laws.

3.7 Relationship of Parties. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed to make any member of the JSC or any subcommittee (or any other committees or sub-teams of thereof) a partner, agent or legal representative of the other Party, or to create any fiduciary relationship for any purpose whatsoever. Except as may be explicitly provided in this Agreement, no member of the JSC, any subcommittee (or any other committee or sub-team of thereof) will have any authority to act for, or to assume any obligation or responsibility on behalf of, any other member of the JSC, any subcommittee (or any other committee of sub-team of thereof) of the other Party.

KHK further agrees to maintain in inventory sufficient bulk Drug Substance and/or vialed, Licensed Product, in KHK’s discretion, the aggregate amount of which shall be equivalent to a [***] month supply of vialed Licensed Product, based on UGNX’s most recent forecast for the Territory and the European Territory.
8.2.7 Nonconforming Licensed Product.
(a) Acceptance and Rejection by UGNX. Each shipment of Licensed Product will contain such quality control documentation (e.g., certificates of analysis and compliance, batch release records) as are necessary to show that Licensed Product conforms to the Specifications in all material respects at the time of Delivery and were manufactured in compliance with GMP and Applicable Laws of the Profit Share Territory or European Territory. In the event that UGNX determines within [***] days of UGNX’s receipt of each shipment of Licensed Products that any such Licensed Products did not materially conform with the Specifications at the time of Delivery or otherwise comply with the product warranty in Section 8.2.6 or the requirements of the order (such as matching the quantities ordered), UGNX shall provide Notice to KHK thereof, and, if requested by KHK, ship a sample portion of the affected Licensed Products to KHK or its designated Third Party manufacturing site, freight prepaid and properly insured, along with a reasonably detailed statement of the claimed non-conformity and copy of KHK’s invoice therefor. UGNX shall retain the balance of the Licensed Products that are subject to review subject to resolution of the rejection and further disposition in accordance with this Section 8.2.7.
(b) Replacement by KHK. In the event that KHK agrees that the returned Licensed Products were non-conforming (or such non-conformance is confirmed under Section 8.2.7(c) below), KHK shall replace all of such non-conforming units of Licensed Product, at no cost to UGNX, and KHK shall as soon as practicable deliver to UGNX, freight prepaid, all replacement units of the Licensed Products, along with reimbursement of the shipment and insurance charges for return of the non-conforming Licensed Product. UGNX shall dispose of all non-conforming Licensed Product at KHK’s expense. In the event that the quantities of the Licensed Products delivered to UGNX (in one or more shipments) do not match the quantity ordered in any material respect, KHK shall promptly ship (such shipping at KHK’s sole expense) the additional Licensed Products required to make up such shortfall; or if the amount shipped exceeds the amount ordered by a material amount, accept only the amount ordered, in which case upon KHK’s request and at KHK’s sole expense, such additional quantities shall be returned to KHK.
(c) Disputes Over Non-Conforming Licensed Product. In the event that KHK disagrees with UGNX’s rejection because the Licensed Products are in fact conforming, the Parties shall cooperate to have both UGNX’s returned samples and KHK’s retained samples from the same production batch of the Licensed Products in dispute analyzed by a mutually acceptable independent testing laboratory of recognized reputation in the pharmaceutical industry,

using the analytical methods, tests and criteria for conformance set forth in the Specifications. The out-of-pocket external costs of such arrangement shall be shared [***] by the Parties, unless and until an alternative determination is made as provided below. The results of such laboratory testing shall be conclusive and binding on the Parties on the issue of compliance of such units of Licensed Product with the Specifications at the time of Delivery. If such independent testing laboratory determines that UGNX’s returned samples of such Licensed Product conform to the Specifications, then (i) the applicable Licensed Product shall be deemed to have been improperly rejected by UGNX, and (ii) UGNX shall bear the cost of the independent laboratory testing and all out-of-pocket external costs and expenses of returning the improperly rejected Licensed Product to UGNX. If such independent testing laboratory determines that UGNX’s returned samples of such Licensed Product did not conform to the Specifications and that such returned samples conform to the samples for such batch retained by KHK, then KHK shall bear the cost of the laboratory testing, as well as the costs associated with properly-rejected Licensed Product described in Section 8.2.7(b), and KHK shall promptly supply to UGNX conforming Licensed Products in accordance with Section 8.2.7(b).
(d) Sole Remedy. Except for Third Party Claims otherwise indemnified under this Agreement, the remedies expressly provided in this Section 8.2.7 will be UGNX’s sole and exclusive remedy for the breach of Section 8.2.6 as a result of the delivery by KHK of non-conforming Licensed Products.
(e) No Liability for Subsequent Events. In no event will KHK be liable under this Section 8.2.7 for Licensed Products that conformed to the Specifications at the time of Delivery but that ceased to so conform as a result of any event or occurrence, or any action or omission by UGNX, its Affiliate or a Third Party, following Delivery of such License Products.
8.2.8 Invoice and Payment. KHK shall invoice UGNX for each shipment of the Licensed Products upon shipment to UGNX at the supply price (if applicable) determined as set forth herein.
8.3 Commercial Supply of Licensed Product. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, UGNX and its Affiliates shall purchase, and KHK shall supply UGNX and its Affiliates, with all quantities of Licensed Products (for purposes of this Section 8.3 “Licensed Products” shall be deemed to refer to “unlabeled, GMP vialed Licensed Products” in the concentrations and vial sizes to be agreed upon by the Parties as required for UGNX’s and its Affiliates’ Commercialization of Licensed Products in Latin America). UGNX shall use the Licensed Products supplied by KHK under this provision solely to conduct its Commercialization activities, in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and shall not use such Licensed Products for any other purpose.
8.3.1 Commercial Supply Agreement. The Parties shall start negotiations as soon as practical after the Effective Date and shall execute a definitive commercial supply agreement (“Commercial Supply Agreement”) for the supply by KHK of the Licensed Products to UGNX and its Affiliates for marketing and sale of such Licensed Products in Latin America. Such Commercial Supply Agreement shall contain the terms and conditions set forth in this Section 8.3, consistent with those set forth in the remainder of this Article 8 (except as provided otherwise in this Section 8.3) and other reasonable and customary terms and conditions. In the event the Parties fail to enter into such a Commercial Supply Agreement for Latin America, and without diminishing the Parties’ obligation to enter into such agreement, UGNX will be obligated to purchase from KHK, and KHK will be obligated to sell to UGNX, all of the requirements of UGNX and its Affiliates for the Licensed Products pursuant to the terms of this Article 8, and either Party may refer the matter for resolution as a Dispute under Section 16.2 (Regular Arbitration).

8.3.3 Term. The term of Commercial Supply Agreement will be co-terminus with the Term (plus any extensions as described below), unless the Parties mutually agree to extend the term of the Commercial Supply Agreement to cover periods after this Agreement is terminated or expires.

8.3.4 Priority Status. To the extent the available supply of, or capacity to manufacture, the Licensed Products is less than the requirements of UGNX and its Affiliates hereunder together with the requirements of KHK and its Affiliates and their licensees, KHK shall allocate the available Licensed Product in a fair and reasonable manner as between all such interested entities, which shall not be deemed a breach of KHK’s supply obligations under the Commercial Supply Agreement. In the event of any shortage in availability of supply of, or capacity to manufacture, Licensed Products as contemplated by this Section 8.3.4, the Parties will discuss appropriate actions in good faith and will cooperate with each other in order to resolve such situation.
8.4 Handling of Licensed Products. UGNX shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to maintain all registrations necessary in the Territory and the European Territory for the lawful handling of the Licensed Products other than such registrations as have been transferred to KHK pursuant to Section 5.1.2 and shall immediately notify KHK of any denial, revocation or suspension of any such registration. Standard instructions for safe handling of the Licensed Products will be set forth in instructions provided by KHK to UGNX from time to time.

51
after receiving Notice of such Third Party claim. The Indemnifying Party will have the right to assume and control the defense of any such Third Party claim for which it is obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee under this Agreement.

The Indemnitee will have the right to retain its own counsel, at the expense of the Indemnifying Party, if representation of such Indemnitee by the counsel retained by the Indemnifying Party would be inappropriate because of actual or potential differences in the interests of such Indemnitee and any other Party represented by such counsel.

The Indemnifying Party will have no obligation to indemnify any Indemnitee in connection with any settlement made without the Indemnifying Party’s prior written consent; provided that the Indemnifying Party does not unreasonably withhold or delay any such written consent. The Indemnifying Party shall seek the prior written consent of the Indemnitee for any settlement of a Third Party claim subject to indemnification hereunder (such consent to not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned) if such settlement would materially diminish or materially adversely affect the scope, exclusivity or duration of any intellectual property licensed under this Agreement, would require any payment by such Indemnitee, would require an admission of legal wrongdoing in any way on the part of an Indemnitee, or would affect an amendment of this Agreement (otherwise, no such consent shall be required). If the Indemnifying Party does not assume and conduct the defense of the Third Party claim as provided above, (a) the Indemnitee 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 Indemnitee may deem reasonably appropriate (and the Indemnitee need not consult with, or obtain any consent from, the Indemnifying Party in connection therewith), and (b) the Indemnifying Party will remain responsible to indemnify the Indemnitee as provided in this Article 14.

It is understood that such insurance will not be construed to create a limit of a Party’s liability with respect to its indemnification obligations hereunder. Each Party shall provide the other Party with written evidence of such insurance upon request.

ARTICLE 16.
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
16.1 Disputes. The Parties recognize that disagreements as to certain matters may from time to time arise out of this Agreement. The Parties agree that such disagreements are to be governed in accordance with this Article 16. Disagreements that are claims, counterclaims, demands, causes of action, disputes or controversies both arising out of this Agreement and related to the performance, enforcement, breach or termination of this Agreement are each, a “Dispute.” For the avoidance of doubt, Dispute does not include any claims, counterclaims, demands, causes of action, disputes or controversies regarding a Party’s use of any intellectual property rights of the other Party, where such use is not expressly granted by the other Party hereunder, including (with respect to uses by UGNX) any such use in the Rest of the World.
16.2 Agreement to Arbitrate. If the Parties fail to resolve any Dispute pursuant to Section 16.1, either Party may submit that Dispute for final resolution by binding arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) in accordance with its Rules of Arbitration (the “Rules”) then in force, to the extent such Rules are not inconsistent with the provisions of this Agreement.
16.3 Number and Appointment of Arbitrators. Except as provided by this Section 16.3 or in Section 16.4, the appointment and confirmation of the arbitrators shall be made in accordance with the relevant provisions of the Rules. The arbitral tribunal shall be composed of three (3) arbitrators (the “Tribunal”) to be appointed in accordance with the Rules, except as expressly provided for herein. Each Party shall select one (1) arbitrator from the list of available ICC arbitrators and such arbitrators shall jointly appoint the third arbitrator who shall act as the chairman of the Tribunal (the “Chairman”). In the event any arbitrator becomes unable to serve, that arbitrator will be replaced in the same manner in which he or she was appointed. If either Party fails to appoint an arbitrator within [***] days of the initiation of arbitration, the other Party may request the ICC to appoint such co-arbitrator (for the non-responsive Party). Such appointment shall be binding on the Parties. If the arbitrators selected by the Parties cannot agree on a Chairman within [***] days after they have been selected, then the ICC shall appoint the Chairman upon request by either Party.
16.4 Special Rules For Certain Specific Disputes (Baseball Arbitration). This Section 16.4 shall only apply to the matters expressly identified in this Agreement as subject to resolution pursuant to this Section 16.4. The Tribunal for such matters shall be composed of one (1) arbitrator. In such arbitration, the arbitrator shall be an independent expert (including in the area of the dispute) in the pharmaceutical or biotechnology industry mutually acceptable to the Parties. The Parties shall use their best efforts to mutually agree upon one (1) arbitrator; provided, however, that if the Parties have not done so within [***] Business Days after initiation of arbitration hereunder, or such longer period of time as the Parties have agreed to in writing, then the ICC shall appoint such arbitrator (which arbitrator shall meet the requirements set forth in the preceding sentence) upon request by either Party. Arbitration pursuant to this Section 16.4 shall be limited to choosing one or the other from among the two proposed resolutions prepared by the two Parties with respect to all matters in dispute, and in connection therewith, each Party shall submit to the arbitrator and to each other in writing its position on and desired resolution of (including any specifics or breakdown of the amounts included within their respective figures) each such matter. Such submission shall be made within [***] Business Days of the selection or appointment of the arbitrator, and the arbitrator shall issue its resolution of all such matters within [***] days of receipt of the written submissions by both Parties. For the avoidance of doubt, the arbitrator’s resolution of all such matters shall be limited to the selection of one or the other of the two competing resolution methods proposed by the Parties and other than minor modification, the arbitrator may not impose a resolution not proposed by either Party or “split the difference” by creating a compromise resolution based on the desired resolutions proposed separately by the Parties. Except as provided in the preceding sentence, such arbitration shall be conducted in accordance with the relevant provisions of the ICC Rules. The arbitrator’s vote shall be final and binding upon the Parties.
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
60
16.5 Conduct of Arbitration. The arbitration shall be conducted and the award rendered in the English language.
16.6 Place of Arbitration. The arbitration shall be held in Singapore.
16.7 Powers of the Arbitrators, Limitations on Remedies. With respect to any arbitration conducted pursuant to Section 16.2, the Tribunal will have the power to award all remedies available under Applicable Laws, by a vote of at least two (2) of the three (3) arbitrators.
16.8 Arbitration Award. Except as set forth in Section 16.4 (Baseball Arbitration), the Tribunal will make all reasonable efforts to render a written, reasoned decision within [***] days following the closing of the hearing. The decision of the Tribunal will be final and binding on the Parties, and judgment upon the decision may be confirmed in, and judgment upon the award entered by, any court having jurisdiction over the Parties.
16.9 Confidentiality. Except to the extent necessary for proceedings relating to enforcement of the arbitration agreement, the award, or other related rights of the Parties, the fact of the arbitration, the arbitration proceeding itself, all evidence, written statements or other documents exchanged or used in the arbitration and the Tribunal’s award will be maintained in confidence by the Parties to the fullest extent permitted by law. However, a violation of this covenant will not affect the enforceability of this agreement to arbitrate or of the Tribunal’s award.
16.10 Costs. Each Party shall bear its own costs and expenses in connection with any Dispute resolution under this Article 16 and shall share equally (50/50) the fees, costs and expenses of the Tribunal and related Third Party arbitration expenses. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the prevailing Party may, as determined by the Tribunal under the circumstances, be awarded its attorneys’ fees, costs and expenses of the arbitration, including the arbitrators’ fees and expenses, in full. The Tribunal may also fix such costs and expenses proportionate to the extent each Party prevails in the arbitration, as the circumstances may warrant. If a Party fails to proceed with arbitration, unsuccessfully challenges the arbitration award or fails to comply with the arbitration award, the other Party will be entitled to costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements, for having to compel arbitration or defend or enforce the award.
16.11 Injunctive or Other Interim Relief. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Article 16, the Parties agree that irreparable harm might accrue with respect to a Dispute absent a temporary injunctive or other interim relief and the Parties therefore shall have the right to seek such injunctive or interim relief in a court of competent jurisdiction pending the outcome of Dispute resolution hereunder. In the event interim or injunctive relief is sought by a Party as to a Dispute, and a court of competent jurisdiction grants such interim or injunctive relief, the Parties shall continue to be bound under this Article 16 to resolve by arbitration such Dispute that is the subject of interim or injunctive relief.
[***] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.
61
16.12 Continued Performance. Pending resolution of any Dispute covered by this Article 16, both Parties shall continue their performance under this Agreement of any obligations (including payment obligations) that are not the subject of such Dispute.
16.13 Governing Law. Resolution of all Disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or the performance, enforcement, breach or termination of this Agreement and any remedies relating thereto, will be governed by and construed under the substantive laws of the State of New York, U.S.A., without reference to any choice of law principles thereof that would cause the application of the laws of a different jurisdiction.
16.14 Separability and Survival of the Agreement to Arbitrate. The provisions of this agreement to arbitrate are independent of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the Parties intend that the remaining provisions shall continue in effect even though one or more of the provisions of the Agreement will be determined to be null and void. This agreement to arbitrate will also survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 17.
OTHER PROVISIONS
17.1 Non-Solicitation of Employees. During the Term, neither Party nor its Affiliates shall, directly or through its representatives or agents, solicit for employment or hire any officer, director, or employee of the other Party or its Affiliates with whom it has had contact in connection with, or who otherwise is known by it to participate in, the subject matter of this Agreement or the development of the Drug Substance or a Licensed Product; provided, however, a Party will not be prohibited from soliciting and hiring through general public advertisement or other solicitation that is not directed toward the employees of the other Party, and a Party may hire any former employee of the other Party as long as the discussions with the former employee are initiated after termination of employment by the other Party.
17.2 Force Majeure. Both Parties will be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement, other than the obligation to make monetary payments, and neither Party will be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to have defaulted under or breached this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any term of this Agreement, to the extent that such performance is prevented by force majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides Notice thereof to the other Party. Such excuse will be continued so long as the condition constituting a force majeure event continues and the nonperforming Party uses Commercially Reasonable Efforts to remove the condition. For purposes of this Agreement, a force majeure event (“Force Majeure Event”) will include conditions beyond the reasonable control and without the fault of a Party, such as an act of God, voluntary or involuntary compliance with any regulation, law or order of any government, war, an act of terrorism, civil commotion, labor strike or lock-out, epidemic, failure or default of public utilities or common carriers, destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, earthquake, storm or like catastrophe, inability to procure necessary raw materials in a commercially reasonable manner or default of suppliers or sub-contractors; provided, however, the payment of invoices due and owing hereunder may not be delayed by the payer because of a force majeure affecting the payer.
17.3 Exclusions of Consequential Damages. EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF A PARTY’S INTENTIONAL OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OR EGREGIOUS BAD FAITH CONDUCT OR DAMAGES AWARDED TO THIRD PARTIES COVERED BY THE INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 14, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR LOST PROFITS OR FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF THE OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED BY THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAD PRIOR NOTICE THEREOF.
62
17.4 Assignment. Neither Party may assign this Agreement or any of its obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that either Party may assign this Agreement in its entirety without such consent to any of its Affiliates, to any purchaser of all, or substantially all, of its assets or to any successor corporation resulting from any merger, consolidation, share exchange, or other similar transaction, and provided further that either Party may assign or sell its rights to receive any amounts due hereunder. This Agreement will inure to the benefit of UGNX and IGIK and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Any assignment of this Agreement that is not made in accordance with this Section 17.4 shall be null and void and of no legal force or effect.
17.5 Severability. In the event any one or more of the provisions contained in this Agreement should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any respect, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions contained herein will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby, unless the absence of the invalidated provision(s) frustrates the purpose of this Agreement (in which case the Parties will attempt to replace such invalidated provision with an enforceable provision that most clearly implements such purpose). The Parties will in such an instance use their Commercially Reasonable Efforts to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and enforceable provision(s) that, insofar as practical, implement the purposes of this Agreement.
17.6 Notices. All notices, consents, approvals and other legally operative communications that are required or permitted hereunder (“Notice”) will be in writing in the English language and sufficient if delivered personally, sent by facsimile or e-mail (and promptly confirmed by personal delivery, registered or certified mail or overnight courier), sent by nationally-recognized overnight courier or sent by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, addressed as follows:

17.11 Waiver. The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party will not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by said other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise.
17.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in identical duplicate copies exchanged by facsimile or e-mail (PDF form) transmission. The Parties agree to execute two identical original copies of this Agreement after exchanging signed facsimile versions. Each identical counterpart will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument.
17.13 Waiver of Rule of Construction. Each Party has had the opportunity to consult with counsel in connection with the review, drafting and negotiation of this Agreement. Accordingly, the rule of construction that any ambiguity in this Agreement will be construed against the drafting Party will not apply.
17.14 Third Party Beneficiaries. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, nothing herein expressed or implied is intended or will be construed to confer upon or to give to any Third Party any rights or remedies by reason of this Agreement.
