        Relationship of the Parties. The Parties agree that the relationship of Genta and Daiichi Sankyo established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors. Furthermore, the Parties agree that this Agreement does not, is not intended to, and shall not be construed to, establish an employment, agency or any other relationship. Except as may be specifically provided herein, neither Party shall have any right, power or authority, nor shall they represent themselves as having any authority, to assume, create or incur any expense, liability or obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party, or otherwise act as an agent for the other Party for any purpose.


11.2
        No Third Party Beneficiaries. No person or entity other than Genta, Daiichi Sankyo and their respective Affiliates and permitted assignees hereunder shall be deemed an intended beneficiary hereunder or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.






Page 25



---





11.3
        Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assignable by either Party to any Third Party without the written consent of the other Party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. No assignment or transfer of this Agreement shall be valid and effective unless and until the assignee/transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall be binding on and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties. Any such attempted assignment not in accordance with the foregoing shall be void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement, without the written consent of the other Party, to an Affiliate or an entity that acquires all or substantially all of the business or assets of such Party
to which this Agreement pertains (whether by merger, reorganization, acquisition, sale or otherwise).


11.4
        Affiliates. Each Party may perform its obligations hereunder personally or through one or more Affiliates, although each Party shall nonetheless be solely responsible for the performance of its Affiliates.


11.5
        No Implied Waivers; Rights Cumulative. The failure of either Party to assert a right hereunder or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that right or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion. Except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement, all rights and remedies available to a Party, whether under this Agreement or afforded by law or otherwise, shall be cumulative and not in the alternative to any other rights or remedies that may be available to such Party.


11.6
        Severability. If any provision hereof should be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable under law in any jurisdiction, the Parties shall negotiate in good faith a valid, legal and enforceable substitute provision that most nearly reflects the original intent of the Parties and all other provisions hereof shall remain in full force and effect in such jurisdiction and shall be liberally construed in order to carry out the intentions of the Parties as nearly as may be possible. Such invalidity, illegality or unenforceability shall not affect the validity, legality or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.


11.7
        Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement, together with all appendices, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all previous arrangements with respect to the subject matter hereof, whether written or oral. Any amendment or modification to this Agreement shall be made in writing signed by both Parties.

11.8
        Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable to the other for failure or delay in the performance of any of its obligations under this Agreement for the time and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by; epidemic, earthquake, riot, civil commotion, rebellion; insurrection, invasion, fire, acts of God, war, terrorist acts, strike, storm, flood, or governmental acts or restriction, or other cause that is beyond the reasonable control of the respective Party. The Party affected by such force majeure shall provide the other Party with full particulars thereof (including its best estimate of the likely extent and duration of the interference with its activities) as soon as it becomes aware of the same, but in no event longer than ten (10) business days after its occurrence, and shall use Commercially
Reasonable Efforts to overcome the difficulties created thereby and to resume performance of its obligations as soon as practicable. In such event, the Parties shall meet promptly to determine an equitable solution to the effects of any such event, including the possibility of the mutual termination of this Agreement.


11.9
        Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and any disputes, claims or controversies in connection with this Agreement, including any question regarding its formation, existence, validity, enforceability, performance, interpretation or termination, shall be resolved in accordance with, the laws of the State of New York without regard to its conflict of laws rules.

Each Party submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts sitting in New York, New York, with respect to actions or proceedings arising out of or relating to this Agreement in which a Party brings an action. Each Party may make service on the other Party by sending or delivering a copy of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner provided for the giving of notices in Section 11.11. Nothing in this Section 11.10, however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other manner permitted by law.


11.11
        Notices. Any notice, request, delivery, approval or consent required or permitted to be given under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been sufficiently given if delivered in person, transmitted by facsimile (receipt verified) or by express courier service (signature required) or five (5) days after it was sent by registered letter, return receipt requested (or its equivalent), provided that no postal strike or other disruption is then in effect or comes into effect within two (2) days after such mailing, to the Party to which it is directed at its address or facsimile number shown below or such other address or facsimile number as such Party shall have last given by notice to the other Party.
