being commercialized, each as may be required by, and in accordance with, the
appropriate Laws of the relevant countries and Regulatory Agencies. Alliant

of any relevant governmental authority, (b) the failure of BioMarin to comply
with any of the terms of this Agreement, or (c) an order by a government
authority that a Product bearing BioMarin’s NDC must be removed from the market,
then BioMarin shall bear the full cost and expense of any such recall,

seizure of any Licensed Product occurs in North America for any other reason,
then Alliant shall bear the full cost and expense of any such recall, withdrawal
or seizure, subject to any agreement Alliant may have, on its own or as an
assignee of BioMarin’s rights, with a third party requiring contribution to the
cost of recall. If both BioMarin and Alliant contribute to the cause of a
seizure, recall or withdrawal of any Licensed Product, the cost and expenses
thereof will be shared in proportion to each party’s contribution to the
problem.

North America, BioMarin shall have the right to defend such suit at its expense
pursuant to the terms and conditions of Ascent License, unless Ascent consents
to Alliant defending such suit pursuant to this Section 5.7(a).

reasonable period of no longer than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of
receipt of written notice regarding the suit, or no later than five (5) Business

attention of the Receiving Party’s senior management and agrees to assist the
Disclosing Party in remedying such unauthorized use or disclosure. Under no
circumstance may Alliant or its Permitted Sublicensees disclose any Confidential
Information which originated from Cima to a Cima Competitor, as defined in the
Cima License.

8.3 Exceptions. The confidentiality obligations do not extend to Confidential
Information which: (a) becomes part of the public domain without the fault of
the Receiving Party; (b) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a
third party with the right to transfer such information without obligation of
confidentiality; (c) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without
reference to or use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, as
evidenced by written records; or (d) was lawfully in the possession of the
Receiving Party at the time of disclosure, without restriction on disclosure, as
evidenced by written records. In addition, the Receiving Party may disclose
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party as may be required by law, a
court order, or a governmental agency with jurisdiction, provided that before
making such a disclosure the Receiving Party first notifies the

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Disclosing Party promptly and in writing and cooperates with the Disclosing
Party, at the Disclosing Party’s reasonable request and expense, in any lawful
action to contest or limit the scope of such required disclosure, including
seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy. The Receiving Party
shall furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information, as the case may
be that is legally required to be disclosed. Any specific Confidential
Information shall not be deemed to be available to the public or in the prior
possession of the Receiving Party merely because it is embodied in more general
information available to the public or in the Receiving Party’s prior
possession. Any combination of known information shall be within any of the
foregoing exclusions only if the combination as such is within such exclusion.
Any information shown to fall within any of the foregoing exception shall not be
identified by the Receiving Party as information, which was received from, is
used by, or considered proprietary by the Disclosing Party.

8.4 Return of Confidential Information. Upon termination of this Agreement, the
Receiving Party will return to the Disclosing Party all tangible copies of
Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in the Receiving Party’s
possession or control and will erase from its computer systems all electronic
copies thereof, with the sole exception that the Receiving Party may retain a
single archival copy of the Confidential Information for purposes only of
compliance with government regulations or with the terms of this Agreement.

Rico, pursuant to the terms and conditions of the Lyne Supply Agreement.

9.3 Compliance with Supply Agreements. Alliant agrees to comply with the terms

9.4 Interim Supply Agreement. BioMarin will use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain, as soon as practicable, the consent of Cima to assign the obligations
under the Cima Supply Agreement as related to the production of Orapred ODT for
distribution within North America. Until such consent is obtained, BioMarin and
Alliant shall be deemed to have entered into a new supply agreement for the
production of Orapred ODT for distribution in North America on the same terms
and conditions as the Cima Supply Agreement, whereby BioMarin shall have all of
Cima’s rights and obligations under the Cima Supply Agreement and Alliant shall
have all of BioMarin’s rights and obligations under the Cima Supply Agreement,
except that: (i) all time periods as contained in the Cima Supply Agreement for

11. PATENT PROSECUTION AND INFRINGEMENT

11.1 Patent Prosecution.

(a) Prosecution of Licensed Patents. As between BioMarin and Alliant, BioMarin
and its licensors will be responsible for filing, prosecuting, and maintaining
all Licensed Patents. Alliant shall bear all reasonable costs and expenses
incurred by BioMarin that are related to such filing, prosecution and
maintenance of the Licensed Patents that are prosecuted by BioMarin during the
term of this Agreement (“BioMarin Prosecuted Patents”). BioMarin shall regularly
consult with Alliant and make reasonable efforts to adopt Alliant’s suggestions
regarding prosecution tactics and strategy for BioMarin Prosecuted Patents.
BioMarin will keep

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alliant advised of the status of the BioMarin Prosecuted Patents and provide
Alliant with copies of all material correspondence and filings to and from the
patent offices examining such BioMarin Prosecuted Patents, such as office
actions, proposed responses and amendments, and notices of allowance. After the
Acquisition Date, BioMarin will promptly notify Alliant in writing if BioMarin
decides not to continue the prosecution of any pending case or not to maintain
any issued patent included in the BioMarin Prosecuted Patents at least thirty
(30) days before the pending case is abandoned or the issued patent is lapsed,
and to the extent BioMarin has failed to provide a commercially reasonable
position for not taking such action, Alliant may request that BioMarin grant
Alliant the right to take over the prosecution of the pending case or the
maintenance of the issued patent, which request BioMarin will not unreasonably
deny. If the request is granted, BioMarin will designate and appoint Alliant and
its duly authorized employees and agents as BioMarin’s agent and
attorney-in-fact to prosecute any such pending case or to maintain any such
patent under the name of BioMarin and in connection therewith to execute, file,
and deliver documents in the name of and on behalf of BioMarin. BioMarin will
assist and fully cooperate with Alliant, at Alliant’s request and expense, in
prosecuting any such pending case which BioMarin has decided not to continue
prosecuting or in maintaining any such patent which BioMarin has decided not to
continue maintaining.

(b) Prosecution of Improvements. BioMarin shall have the right to file and
prosecute any patent applications which cover an Alliant Improvement and to
maintain any patents issued from such patent applications in its name
(collectively, “Improvement Patents”). Any Improvement Patents will be
automatically licensed to Alliant under Section 2.1. Alliant will execute and/or
cause to be delivered to BioMarin and shall take such other actions, as BioMarin
may reasonably request, at or after the Effective Date, at BioMarin’s expense,
for the purpose of evidencing, prosecuting, obtaining and maintaining all patent
rights in and to the Alliant Improvements in any and all countries. Such acts
may include, but are not limited to, execution of documents and making inventors
and employees available to BioMarin.

(c) Power of Attorney. Alliant each hereby designates and appoints the officers
of BioMarin as their agents and attorneys-in-fact, respectively, to act for and
on behalf and instead of Alliant to execute and file any documents and to do all
other lawfully permitted acts to further the purposes set forth in
Section 11.2(b) above with the same legal force and effect as if executed by
Alliant, respectively. Alliant further acknowledges and agrees that such power
of attorney is a power of attorney coupled with an interest and is irrevocable.

11.2 Infringement of Licensed Patents

(a) During the License Term, if either Party or any of its Affiliates or
Permitted Sublicensees becomes aware of any actual or threatened infringement of
any Licensed Patents based on the manufacture, sale, offer for sale, or
importation of a Licensed Product by a third party in North America or any claim
that a Licensed Patent is invalid or unenforceable, such Party or its Affiliates
or Permitted Sublicensees shall promptly notify the other Party in writing. In
addition, if Alliant or any of its Affiliates or Permitted Sublicensees becomes
aware of any actual or threatened infringement of any Licensed Technology or the
Licensed Development Technology, Alliant or its Permitted Sublicensees (as
applicable) shall promptly notify BioMarin and Ascent in writing as required by
the Ascent License.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

(b) BioMarin or its licensor or Affiliate (as applicable) shall have the first
right, but not the obligation, to initiate and conduct legal proceedings to
enforce or defend the Licensed Patents; provided, however, that if the
proceeding takes place after the Acquisition Date and involves Licensed Patents
(other than those licensed by Cima to BioMarin under the Cima License)
(collectively, “BioMarin Enforced Patents”), Alliant shall have the right to
participate in any such action involving BioMarin Enforced Patents at its
expense. If Alliant participates in any such action, BioMarin or its Affiliate
shall have sole control of the conduct of any such action which it brings,
provided that Alliant shall have the right to provide ongoing comments and
advice regarding its position in such action, which comments shall be considered
in good faith by BioMarin. Alliant and its Permitted Sublicensees shall, at the
request and expense of BioMarin or its licensors or Affiliates, cooperate and
provide reasonable assistance in any action described involving actual or
threatened infringement of any Licensed Patents, Licensed Technology, or
Licensed Development Technology referenced in this Section 11.2, and if required
by law, join such action. Any recovery or compensation resulting from such
proceeding, including without limitation non-monetary rights, shall being
entirely to BioMarin or its Affiliates or its licensors (as applicable).

(c) During the License Term after the Acquisition Date, if (i) BioMarin or its
Affiliates fail to take action against such threatened or actual infringement of
the BioMarin Enforced Patents or to defend the BioMarin Enforced Patents within
a reasonable period of no longer than ninety (90) calendar days from the date of
receipt of written notice from Alliant with sufficient evidence of infringement,
(ii) within such period of time, and no later than five (5) Business Days prior
to the applicable deadline, BioMarin or its Affiliates has not provided a
commercially reasonable position for failing to take such action, and
(iii) Alliant may request that BioMarin grant Alliant the right to enforce the
BioMarin Enforced Patent, which request will not be unreasonably denied, and if
the request is granted, Alliant may thereafter take such action as it deems
necessary to enforce its rights in and to the BioMarin Enforced Patent,
including, without limitation, the right, but not the obligation, to bring, at
its own expense, an infringement action or file any other appropriate action or
claim related to infringement of the BioMarin Enforced Patent against any third
party. BioMarin shall, at the request and expense of Alliant, cooperate and
provide reasonable assistance in any action described in this Section and, if
required by law, join such action. In such events, the expenses for enforcement
will be borne by Alliant, and any recovery or compensation resulting from such
proceeding, including without limitation non-monetary rights, shall belong
entirely to Alliant, provided that such third party infringer will be treated as
a Permitted Sublicensee solely for purposes of calculating the amount payable to
BioMarin and Alliant will pay BioMarin the Sublicense Revenue and the royalties
based on the amount recovered from such third party, net of the expenses of
enforcement borne by Alliant . Alliant shall not settle or accept any settlement
from any third party without the prior written consent of BioMarin, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

11.3 Infringement of Third Party IP

(a) During the License Term, in the event of the initiation of any suit by a
third party against Alliant that a Licensed Product or the manufacture, use,
sale, or importation of a Licensed Product in North America infringes such third
party’s intellectual property rights, Alliant shall promptly notify BioMarin in
writing, and Alliant shall have the right to defend such suit at its expense and
Alliant shall provide BioMarin with notice of its intent to defend or not

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

defend such suit, provided that BioMarin shall have the right to participate in
such action at BioMarin’s expense. If BioMarin participates in such action,
Alliant shall have sole control of the conduct of any such action, provided that
BioMarin shall have the right to provide ongoing comments and advice regarding
its position in such action, which comments shall be considered in good faith by
Alliant. BioMarin shall, at the request and expense of Alliant, cooperate and
provide reasonable assistance in any action described in this Section and, if
required by law, join such action. Alliant shall not settle or accept any
settlement from any third party without the prior written consent of BioMarin,
which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

(b) During the License Term, if (i) Alliant fails to defend such suit within a
reasonable period of no longer than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of
receipt of written notice regarding the suit, or no later than five (5) Business
Days prior to the applicable deadline, and (ii) within such period of time,
Alliant has not provided a commercially reasonable argument for failing to
defend such suit, BioMarin may request that Alliant grant BioMarin the right to
take such action as it deems necessary to defend its rights in the Licensed
Products, which request will not be unreasonably denied. Alliant shall, at the
request and expense of BioMarin, cooperate and provide reasonable assistance in
any action described in this Section and, if required by law, join such action.
In such events, the expenses for defense will be borne by BioMarin. BioMarin
shall not settle or accept any settlement from any third party without the prior
written consent of Alliant, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed.

11.4 Patent Marking. Alliant agrees to mark with notices of Licensed Patent, and
to have so marked by its Permitted Sublicensees, each marketed Licensed Product
and all related packaging, advertising and promotional materials, in accordance
with the laws of each country in North America relating to the marketing of
patented articles. Subject to any applicable Laws and the availability of
sufficient space on the applicable material, Alliant shall indicate on such
promotional and packaging materials as reasonably requested by BioMarin, that
the Licensed Product is distributed under a license from BioMarin.

12. TERM AND TERMINATION

12.1 Term. The term of this Agreement (the “Term”) will commence on the

Indemnitee’s entitlement to indemnification (or the corresponding indemnifying
Party’s indemnification obligations) hereunder except to the extent that the
indemnifying Party shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure. The
indemnifying Party shall have the initial right (but not obligation) to defend,
settle or otherwise dispose of any Claim for which an Indemnitee intends to
assert a right to indemnification under this Agreement as contemplated in the
preceding sentence if, and for so long as, the indemnifying Party has recognized
in a written notice to the Indemnitee provided within thirty (30) days of such
written notice its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee for any BioMarin
Losses or Alliant Losses (as the case may be) relating to such

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Claim; provided, however, that if the indemnifying Party assumes control of the
defense, settlement or disposition of a Claim, the indemnifying Party shall
obtain the written consent of each applicable Indemnitee prior to ceasing to
defend, settling or otherwise disposing of the Claim. If the indemnifying Party
fails to state in a written notice during such thirty (30) day period its
willingness to assume the defense of such a Claim, the BioMarin Indemnitee(s) or
Alliant Indemnitee(s), as the case may be, shall have the right to defend,
settle or otherwise dispose of such Claim, subject to the applicable provisions
of Section 13.1 or 13.2.

13.4 Settlements. No party may settle any claim, action or proceeding related to
a liability to a third party without the consent of the other parties, including
but not limited to, if such settlement would impose any monetary obligation on
the other parties or require the other parties to submit to an injunction or
impose any covenant or commitment on the other party or otherwise limit the
other party’s rights under this Agreement, and any payment made by a party in
such a settlement without obtaining such consent shall be at its own cost and
expense.

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. NO PARTY HERETO (OR ITS AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS)
SHALL, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCE, BE LIABLE TO ANY OTHER PARTY (OR ITS AFFILIATES)
FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES
CLAIMED BY SUCH OTHER PARTY UNDER THE TERMS OF OR DUE TO ANY BREACH OF THIS
AGREEMENT. THESE LIMITATIONS SHALL (A) APPLY NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAILURE OF THE
ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY REMEDY ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND (B) NOT APPLY
TO BREACH OF ALLIANT’S OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 2, BREACH OF EITHER PARTY’S
OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 8, OR INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATION UNDER SECTION 13.

15. MISCELLANEOUS

15.1 Third-Party Licenses. Alliant acknowledges that all rights granted to
Alliant under this Agreement and all obligations of BioMarin provided in this
Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the Ascent License and the
Cima License. To the extent any right granted to Alliant under this Agreement or
any obligation of BioMarin provided in this Agreement conflicts with any terms
or conditions provided in the Ascent License or the Cima License, the Ascent
License or the Cima License, as applicable, will control.

15.2 Relationship of the Parties. Alliant, on the one hand, and BioMarin, on the
other hand, hereby acknowledge that each is an independent entity and is not
subject to the control of the other Party hereto in any manner except as
specifically provided in this Agreement. Nothing contained in this Agreement
shall be construed in any way as creating any relationship of partnership or
joint venture, between the Parties, or to render either Party liable for any of
the debts or obligations of the other Party hereto. Neither Party shall act or
purport to act, or represent itself, directly or by implication, as the agent,
legal representative, partner or joint venturer of the other Party, or in any
manner assume or create or purport to assume or create any obligation in the
name or on behalf of the other Party.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15.3 Insurance. Alliant shall obtain and maintain in effect, in a form and with
insurers reasonably acceptable to BioMarin, and which shall name BioMarin as an
additional insured:

(a) commercial general liability insurance with a minimum limit of indemnity of
Five Million U.S. Dollars (US$5,000,000) per occurrence and in the aggregate;

(b) product liability insurance with a minimum limit of liability of Five
Million U.S. Dollars (US$5,000,000) per occurrence and in the aggregate.

It is understood that such insurance shall not be construed to limit Alliant’s
liability with respect to such indemnification obligations. Alliant shall
provide to BioMarin upon request a certificate evidencing the insurance Alliant
is required to obtain and keep in force under this Section 15.2, including
naming BioMarin as an additional insured. Such certificate shall provide that
such insurance shall not expire or be cancelled or modified without at least
thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to BioMarin.

15.4 Governing Law; Venue.

(a) This Agreement shall be construed in accordance with, and governed in all
respects by, the internal laws of the State of New York (without giving effect
to principles of conflicts of laws).

(b) Any legal action or other legal proceeding relating to this Agreement or the
enforcement of any provision of this Agreement must be brought or otherwise
commenced solely and exclusively in state courts located in San Francisco
County, California and federal courts located in Northern District of
California. Consistent with the preceding sentence, each of the Parties:

(i) expressly and irrevocably consents and submits to the jurisdiction of the
courts of competent jurisdiction in San Francisco County, California and
Northern District of California (and each appellate court thereof) in connection
with any such legal proceeding;

(ii) expressly agrees that the courts of competent jurisdiction in San Francisco
County, California and Northern District of California shall be deemed to be a
convenient forum; and

(iii) expressly agrees not to assert (by way of motion, as a defense or
otherwise), in any such legal proceeding commenced in the courts of competent
jurisdiction in San Francisco County, California and Northern District of
California, any claim that such Party is not subject personally to the
jurisdiction of such court, that such legal proceeding has been brought in an
inconvenient forum, that the venue of such proceeding is improper or that this
Agreement or the subject matter of this Agreement may not be enforced in or by
such court.

(c) The Parties hereto agree that, if any Proceeding is commenced against any
Indemnified Party by any third party in or before any court or other tribunal
anywhere in the world, then such Indemnified Party may proceed against the
Indemnifying Party in or before such court or other tribunal with respect to any
indemnification claim or other claim arising directly or

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

indirectly from or relating directly or indirectly to such Proceeding or any of
the matters alleged therein or any of the circumstances giving rise thereto.

15.5 Dispute Resolution Procedures. In the event any dispute arises between the
parties with respect to the interpretation of this Agreement or with respect to
the performance of either Party, the Parties shall first seek to resolve such
dispute by negotiations between senior executives who have authority to settle
the dispute. When a Party believes there is a dispute relating to the Agreement,
such Party shall give written notice of the dispute to the other Party. The
senior executives shall meet promptly after the date of such notice and shall
attempt in good faith within forty-five (45) days after the date of such notice
to resolve the dispute prior to initiating litigation with respect to such
matter. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if no such resolution is reached within
such forty-five (45) days, then any Party may initiate any proceeding or pursue
any remedy it deems appropriate and that is not prohibited hereby.

15.6 Assignment. Successors and Assigns; Parties In Interest.

(a) This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the
Parties hereto, the other Indemnified Parties, and the respective successors and
permitted assigns (if any) of the foregoing.

(b) Neither this Agreement nor the rights and obligations of any Party hereunder
shall be assigned without the prior written consent of the other Party, which
consent may be given or withheld in such Party’s sole discretion.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign or transfer this entire
Agreement, without the consent of the other Party (a) to any Affiliate; or
(b) to any third party with which it merges or consolidates, or to which it
transfers all or substantially all of its assets to which this Agreement
relates. Any attempted transfer or assignment in violation of the foregoing will
be null and void.

15.7 Notices. All notices, demands and other communications under or in
connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed properly

delivered by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested) from the
United States, upon the earlier of actual delivery or three Business Days after
being mailed, (c) if sent by overnight delivery by a recognized overnight
delivery service for overnight delivery, upon the earlier of actual delivery or

occur during normal business hours on a Business Day then on the next Business
Day), in each case to the parties at the following addresses or facsimile

Attention: Corporate Counsel

15.8 Publicity. The Parties agree to keep the existence of this Agreement, the
terms and conditions hereof, the transactions contemplated hereby, and any
proposed termination hereof strictly confidential; provided, however, that:

(a) the Parties shall make an initial public announcement as to the Agreement in
a form mutually agreed by them, and, except for any disclosure under (b) or (c),
prior to making any subsequent public announcements regarding this Agreement or
the transactions contemplated herein, each Party agrees to provide the other
Party with a reasonable opportunity to review and comment upon such proposed
announcement;

(b) BioMarin and Alliant may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement
to their attorneys, accountants, and other professional advisors under duty of
confidentiality, to assert or enforce such Party’s rights under this Agreement,
or to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or legal process,
including without limitation the securities and antitrust laws of the United
States, provided that the disclosing Party has provided to the other Party a
copy of the proposed release or statement no less than two (2) Business Days
prior to its release or publication, and the Parties acknowledge and agree that
the determination that a disclosure is required by law shall be made in the
sole, but reasonably exercised, discretion of the Party making such disclosure;
and

(c) if reasonably required in connection with the conduct of their respective
businesses, BioMarin and Alliant may disclose the existence or terms of this
Agreement to bankers, other business associates and potential investors if such
persons have agreed in writing to keep the information confidential, and upon
the request of either Party, the other Party shall identify those third parties
to whom such disclosure has been made.

15.9 Use of Names, Trade Names and Trademarks. Except as provided herein,
nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed as conferring any right
on either Party to use in advertising, publicity or other promotional activities
any name, trade name, trademark or other designation of the other Party hereto
or of any of its licensors under any Third Party Agreement, including any
contraction, abbreviation or simulation of any of the foregoing, unless the
prior written consent of such other Party is obtained.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

15.10 Remedy. If any legal action is brought to enforce this Agreement, the
prevailing Party will be entitled to receive its attorneys’ fees, court costs,
and other collection expenses, in addition to any other relief it may receive.
Alliant acknowledges and agrees that any actual or threatened breach of Sections
2.1, 2.3 or 8 by Alliant will constitute immediate and irreparable harm to
BioMarin for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy and that
injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach.

15.11 Force Majeure. If either Party hereto is prevented from carrying out its
obligations under this Agreement, other than payment obligations, by events
beyond its reasonable control, including acts or omissions of the other Party,
acts of God or government, natural disasters or storms, fire, political strife,
terrorism, failure of delay or transportation, default by suppliers or
unavailability of raw materials, then such Party’s performance of its
obligations hereunder shall be excused during the period of such events and for
a reasonable period of recovery thereafter, and the time for performance of such
obligations shall be automatically extended for a period of time equal to the
duration of such events; provided, however, that the Party claiming force
majeure shall promptly notify the other Party of the existence of such force
majeure, shall use commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remedy such force
majeure and shall continue performance hereunder with the utmost dispatch
whenever such force majeure is avoided or remedied. When such circumstances
arise, the Parties shall discuss what, if any, modification of the terms of this
Agreement may be required in order to arrive at an equitable solution.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Alliant is unable to perform under this
Agreement for a period greater than ninety (90) days as a result of a force
majeure event, BioMarin shall have the right to terminate this Agreement.

15.12 Headings. The headings contained in this Agreement are for convenience of
reference only, shall not be deemed to be a part of this Agreement and shall not
be referred to in connection with the construction or interpretation of this
Agreement.

15.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in several counterparts
(including by facsimile), each of which shall constitute an original and all of
which, when taken together, shall constitute one agreement.

15.14 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement, or the
application of any such provision to any Party or set of circumstances, shall be
determined to be invalid, unlawful, void or unenforceable to any extent, the
remainder of this Agreement, and the application of such provision to the Party
or circumstances other than those as to which it is determined to be invalid,
unlawful, void or unenforceable, shall not be impaired or otherwise affected and
shall continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by
law.

15.15 Waiver. No failure on the part of either Party to exercise any power,
right, privilege or remedy under this Agreement, and no delay on the part of
either Party in exercising any power, right, privilege or remedy under this
Agreement, shall operate as a waiver of such power, right, privilege or remedy;
and no single or partial exercise of any such power, right, privilege or remedy
shall preclude any other or further exercise thereof or of any other power,
right, privilege or remedy. Neither Party shall be deemed to have waived any
claim arising out of this Agreement, or any power, right, privilege or remedy
under this Agreement, unless the waiver of such claim, power, right, privilege
or remedy is expressly set forth in a written

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

instrument duly executed and delivered on behalf of such Party; and any such
waiver shall not be applicable or have any effect except in the specific
instance in which it is given.

15.16 Amendments. This Agreement may not be amended, modified, altered or
supplemented other than by means of a written instrument duly executed and
delivered on behalf of each Party.
