of such required disclosure, the disclosing party shall give maximum practical advance notice to the other and, at the other’s
expense, cooperate with the other’s efforts to request confidential treatment of such Confidential Information by the recipient
to the extent afforded by law. Customer agrees not to disclose any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement to any third party,
other than Customer’s affiliates, employees, officers, directors or other authorized representatives who have a need to know

used in the ordinary course of its business, using any trade name or trademark of Hemispherx, such material shall be forwarded
to Hemispherx in advance of such use for approval by Hemispherx.

If a dispute arises between the parties under this Agreement, the parties agree that, prior to either pursuing other available
remedies, decision-making individuals from each party will promptly meet, either in person or by telephone, to attempt in good
faith to negotiate a resolution of the dispute. If, within sixty days after such meeting, the parties are unable to resolve the

TO TRIAL BY JURY.



9.14         Effect
of Invalidity of any Provision. If any provision(s) of this Agreement shall be held to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable,
the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions hereof shall not in any way be impaired thereby, and such
remaining provisions shall continue to be valid, binding and enforceable, only so long as the intent of the parties can be achieved.
