assets of the assigning Party (whether acquired directly or by acquiring all of the ownership interest of the assigning Party). |
|
12.3. |
Waiver.

|
12.4. |
Severability. This Agreement is severable. When possible, each provision of this Agreement shall be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law; but if any provision of this Agreement is determined by a final and binding court judgment to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable to any extent, such provision shall not be affected or impaired up to the limits of such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability; the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be affected or impaired in any way; and the parties agree to make a good faith effort to replace such invalid, illegal and unenforceable provision (or portion of provision) with a valid, legal and enforceable provision that achieves, to the greatest lawful extent under this Agreement, the economic, business and other purposes of such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision (or portion of provision). |
|
12.5. |
Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable for failure to perform, or delay in the performance of, its obligations under this Agreement (other than payment obligations) when such failure or delay is caused by an event of Force Majeure (as defined below).

If, due to any event of Force Majeure, either party shall be unable to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement (other than payment obligations), the affected party shall immediately notify the other party of such inability and of the period during which such inability is expected to continue, shall use reasonable commercial efforts to cure and remedy such non-performance, and the time for performance shall be extended for a number of days equal to the duration of the Force Majeure, and the parties shall meet promptly to determine an equitable solution to the effects of such event. Upon the occurrence of, during the continuance of and for one month after a Force Majeure event, Sientra shall be permitted to adjust each Forecast as necessary to take into account any interruption in supply of the Products. |

|
12.12. |
Survival. Each party's rights, remedies, obligations and responsibilities which have accrued before, or by their nature would be expected to extend beyond, the expiration, termination or other cancellation of this Agreement, shall survive such expiration, termination or other cancellation and continue to bind the parties and their permitted successors and assigns indefinitely until fulfilled or waived (including, without limitation, Sections 1, 4.3, 5.2, 5.3, 5.4, 5.8 and 7-12). |
|
12.13. |
Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges that a breach or threatened breach of Section 10 would cause irreparable harm to the other, the extent of which would be difficult to ascertain. Accordingly, each Party agrees that, in addition to any other remedies to which the non-breaching Party may be legally entitled, it shall have the right to immediate (TRO), preliminary and permanent injunctive or other equitable relief in the event of a breach or threatened breach of such Section by the other or any of its disclosees, all without any requirement that the non-breaching Party post any bond or other security. |

|
12.16. |
Dispute Resolution. Except in the case of a claim for a breach of Sections 8 or 10, if a Party has any other claim relating to or arising out of this Agreement, or breach thereof (whether sounding in contract, tort or otherwise), such Party shall promptly notify the other Party. The Parties shall then promptly seek to resolve such claim through good faith consultation and negotiation. If the Parties are unable to resolve such claim within thirty (30) days after the claim is made by a Party, then each Party shall be free to pursue its available rights or remedies. It is understood that such consultation, negotiation and thirty (30) day period shall not be required in the case of a claim for a breach of Sections 8 or 10. Both Parties irrevocably consent and submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state courts in New York County, New York, and of the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York in connection with any litigation relating to or arising out of this Agreement, and both Parties expressly waive any objection they have or may have as to the venue or convenient-forum status of any such courts collectively. |
|
12.17. |
Further Assurances. Each Party shall without the necessity of any further consideration execute and deliver to the other Party all such instruments and other documents, and shall take all such other actions, as such other Party may reasonably request at any time for the purpose of carrying out or evidencing the intent and purposes of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby. |
