faulty properties and may not necessarily fit for a particular purpose and be responsible for the consequences resulting fromthe use of the BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE by the RECIPIENT.

19. The RECIPIENT agrees to have a confidentiality obligation regarding any unpublicized data of the BIOLOGICALRESOURCE that is provided from the RESOURCE CENTER. This restriction will be canceled immediately after the data ispublished by any conferences, patents, or research papers.
10. The RECIPIENT agrees that any handling or other activities undertaken in their laboratory with the BIOLOGICALRESOURCE shall be conducted in compliance with all applicable laws, regulations and guidelines. The RECIPIENT shall, ifnecessary, take any steps or procedures to comply with legal requirements for handling of the BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE.
11. Any accident occurred during shipment of the BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE is solved together by the RESOURCE CENTER
and the RECIPIENT.
12. If the RECIPIENT is in breach of this MTA, the RESOURCE CENTER may request the RECIPIENT to cease thecontinuous use of the BIOLOGICAL RESOURCE and other resources of the RESOURCE CENTER
13. Any question arose according to matters not set forth in this MTA or during fulfillment of this MTA shall be settled upon
consultation in good faith between the RESOURCE CENTER and the RECIPIENT.
