Sublicensee under this Agreement are personal to Sublicensee. Any assignment or
transfer by Sublicensee of any of its rights or the sublicense granted under

and all prior arrangements, representations, promises, understandings and
conditions in connection with said matters and any representations, promises or
conditions not expressly incorporated herein or therein or expressly made a part
hereof or thereof, except for those terms and conditions contained in the Harris

upon any party.
     4.3 Governing Law and Venue. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE DEEMED TO BE MADE IN
AND IN ALL RESPECTS SHALL BE INTERPRETED, CONSTRUED AND GOVERNED BY AND IN
ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF DELAWARE WITHOUT REGARD TO THE CONFLICT
OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF. The parties hereby irrevocably submit to the
jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and the Federal courts of
the United States of America located in the State of Delaware solely in respect
of the interpretation and enforcement of the provisions of this Agreement and of
the documents referred to in this Agreement, and in respect of the transactions
contemplated hereby, and hereby waive, and agree not to assert, as a defense in
any action, suit or proceeding for the interpretation or enforcement hereof or
of any such document, that it is not subject thereto or that such action, suit
or proceeding may not be brought or is not maintainable in said courts or that
the venue thereof may not be appropriate or that this Agreement or any such
document may not be enforced in or by such courts, and the parties hereto
irrevocably agree that all claims with respect to such action or proceeding
shall be heard and determined in such a Delaware State or Federal court;
provided, however, that notwithstanding the foregoing each party agrees that any
claim which primarily seeks injunctive relief and related monetary claims that
cannot be brought in any such Delaware State or Federal court for jurisdiction
reasons may be commenced, heard and determined in any other court having proper
jurisdiction over such claim. The parties hereby consent to and grant any such
court jurisdiction over the person of such parties and, to the extent permitted
by law, over the subject matter of such dispute and agree that mailing of
process or other papers in connection with any such action or proceeding in the
manner provided in the Formation Agreement or in such other manner as may be
permitted by law shall be valid and sufficient service thereof.

illegal, invalid or unenforceable, that provision will be enforced to the
maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the
validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not in
any way be affected or impaired thereby. If necessary to effect the intent of
the parties, the parties will negotiate in good faith to amend this Agreement to
replace the unenforceable language with enforceable language which as closely as
possible reflects such intent.

     4.5 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are included for convenience
of reference only and shall not in any way limit or otherwise affect the meaning
or interpretation of this Agreement.
     4.6 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, but all of which,
taken together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.
     4.7 License Notice Matters. Sublicensee may, from time to time, prepare,
file and/or record at its expense such notices and other documents (such as
memoranda of non-exclusive sublicense) with such state, federal and/or foreign
governmental offices and agencies as Sublicensee reasonably deems necessary or
appropriate to place third persons on actual or constructive notice of this
Agreement and the sublicense, transactions and matters contemplated herein and,
upon the request of Sublicensee, Sublicensor agrees to (i) promptly subscribe
to, acknowledge, execute and deliver to Sublicensee such notices and other
documents for such filings and recordations, and (ii) take such other actions as
Sublicensee may reasonably request in order to permit, accommodate and
facilitate such filings and recordations. Accordingly, Sublicensor hereby
appoints Sublicensee as its irrevocable attorney in fact, with an interest, to

documents in Sublicensor’s name and as its act and deed in all such state,
federal and/or foreign governmental offices and agencies. With respect to all

circumstances, in each case to the extent beyond the reasonable control of such
party (each, a “Force Majeure Event”). Upon the occurrence of a Force Majeure
Event, the party whose performance is prevented or delayed shall provide written
notice to the other party, and the parties shall promptly confer, in good faith,
on what action may be taken to minimize the impact, on both parties, of such
Force Majeure Event.

deliver such further instruments, and to do all such other acts, as may be
necessary or appropriate in order to carry out the purposes and intent of this
Agreement.
