This Agreement may only be modified or supplemented in a writing expressly stated for such purpose and signed by the parties to this Agreement.
17.7 Force Majeure. A party shall not lose any rights hereunder or be liable to the other party for damages or losses (except for payment obligations) on account of a delay or failure of performance by such party to the extent such the delay or failure is occasioned or caused by war, strike, fire, Act of God, tornado, hurricane, earthquake, fire, flood, lockout, embargo, governmental acts or orders or restrictions (except if imposed due to or resulting from the party’s violation of law or regulations), failure of suppliers, or any other circumstance or reason where the delay or failure to perform is beyond the reasonable control of such party (a “Force Majeure”), and provided that such failure is not caused by the gross negligence or intentional misconduct of the party and the party has exerted reasonable efforts to avoid or remedy the effects of such Force Majeure; However, if a Force Majeure event causes a material failure of performance by a party for a period of more than six months, then the other party may terminate this Agreement on written notice. For clarity, a failure to obtain funding shall not constitute a force majeure event.
17.8 Severability; Reformation. Except to the extent a provision is stated to be essential, or otherwise to the contrary, or such provision is material and essential to the main purpose and intent of the Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement are severable, and in the event that any provisions of this Agreement shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any controlling body of the law, such invalidity or unenforceability shall not in any way affect the validity or enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof, provided that the parties will endeavor in good faith to agree on a replacement, valid provision, to add to this Agreement in the stead of such invalid provision, that comes closest to achieving the intent of the parties in such provision.
17.9 Governing Law. This Agreement and all Study Addenda shall be construed, governed, interpreted and applied in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice/conflict of law principles that would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The state and federal courts located in New York County, New York, shall have exclusive jurisdiction of any claims or actions between or among the parties arising out of or relating to this Agreement or any aspect of the parties’ relationship, and each party consents to venue and personal jurisdiction of those courts for the purpose of resolving any such disputes.
17.10 Waivers. The failure of either party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by the other party.
17.11 Construction and Interpretation. Words (including defined terms) denoting the singular shall include the plural and vice versa. The words “hereof”, “herein”, “hereunder” and words of the like import when used in this Agreement shall refer to this Agreement as a whole, and not to any particular provision of this Agreement.
