conditions contained herein.

1.1.2
This Agreement covers the provision of Services (as defined below) by Quintiles
Commercial and/or Quintiles Commercial’s Affiliates (as set forth in Clause 15

“Alimera” in this Agreement (and the related rights and obligations) shall mean

each of their employees, agents and representatives) complies with all
obligations imposed on Quintiles Commercial under this Agreement. Any breach of
any such obligations by any Quintiles Commercial Affiliate (or any of their
employees, agents and representatives) shall be deemed a breach by Quintiles
Commercial of its obligations under this Agreement, and Quintiles Commercial
shall be jointly and severally responsible and liable for any breach of any such

a “Dispute”) through negotiations between senior executives of the Parties. If
the Dispute is not resolved within thirty (30) days (or such other period of

provided under this agreement or by law shall constitute a waiver of that or any
other right or remedy, nor shall it preclude or restrict the further exercise of
that or any other right or remedy. No single or partial exercise of such right
or remedy shall preclude or restrict the further exercise of that or any other
right or remedy. If any provisions herein are found to be unenforceable on the
grounds that they are overly broad or in conflict with applicable laws, it is
the intent of the Parties that such provisions be replaced, reformed or narrowed
so that their original business purpose can be accomplished to the extent
permitted by law, and that the remaining provisions shall not in any way be
affected or impaired thereby.

matter of this Agreement; provided always that nothing in this clause shall

be in writing and signed by the Parties.
27.
Execution in Counterparts.

27.1
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when
executed and delivered, shall constitute an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one agreement binding on all Parties, notwithstanding that all
Parties are not signatories to the same counterpart.

27.2
Transmission by electronic mail in portable document format (pdf) of an executed
counterpart of this Agreement or any Project Order shall be deemed to constitute
due and sufficient delivery of such counterpart. The Parties shall deliver to
each other an original counterpart of this Agreement and each Project Order
promptly after delivery by electronic mail provided however, that failure by
either Party to so deliver an original counterpart shall not affect the
sufficiency of an electronic mail of such counterpart as provided in the first
sentence of this Clause.
