All notices shall be deemed to be effective five days after the date of mailing or upon receipt if sent by telex or facsimile (but only if followed by certified or registered confirmation). Either Party may change the address at which notice is to be received by written notice pursuant to this Section 15.4.

 

15.5                        Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, it shall be stricken and the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect; provided, however, that if a provision is stricken so as to significantly alter the economic arrangements of this Agreement, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith modifications to this Agreement to effectuate the initial intent of this Agreement.

 

15.6                        Assignment. This Agreement shall not be assigned by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except that either Party may assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, to any successor (including the surviving company in any consolidation, reorganization or merger) or assignee of all or substantially all of its business, or to a wholly owned subsidiary or Affiliate. This Agreement will be binding upon any permitted assignee of either Party.  No assignment shall have the effect of relieving any Party to this Agreement of any of its obligations hereunder.

 

15.7                        Event of Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be responsible or liable to the other hereunder for the failure or delay in the performance of this Agreement due to any civil unrest, war, fire, earthquake, hurricane, accident or other casualty, or any labor disturbance or act of God or the public enemy, or any other contingency beyond the Party’s reasonable control. In the event of the applicability of this Section 15.7, the Party failing or delaying performance shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to eliminate, cure and overcome any of such causes and resume the performance of its obligations. Upon the occurrence of an event of force majeure, the Party failing or delaying performance shall promptly notify the other Party, in writing, setting forth the nature of the occurrence, its expected duration and how such Party’s performance is affected. The failing or delaying Party shall resume performance of its obligations hereunder as soon as practicable after the force majeure event ceases.

 

15.8                        Public Disclosure. Neither Party shall disclose to third Parties, nor originate any publicity, news release or public announcement, written or oral, whether to the public, the press, stockholders or otherwise, referring to the existence or terms of this Agreement the subject matter to which it relates, the performance under it or any of its specific terms and conditions, except as required by law, without the prior written consent of the other Party. If a Party decides to make an announcement, it will give the other Party such notice as is reasonably practicable and an opportunity to comment upon the announcement.

 

15.9                        Survival. Sections 4.1, 5.3, 5.4, 6.1, 8.3, 8.4, 8.5, 10.1, 10.3, 10.4, 14.3, 14.4, 14.5, and Articles 1, XI, XII, XIII, and XV shall survive the termination for any reason of this Agreement. Section 5.2 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for five (5) years. Any payments due under this Agreement with respect to any period prior to its termination shall be made notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement.

15.10                 Effects of Insolvency or Bankruptcy on Licenses.  The Parties acknowledge and agree that all rights and licenses to intellectual property granted to a licensee pursuant to this Agreement (other than with respect to Trademarks) are, for all purposes of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to “intellectual property” as defined in the Bankruptcy Code, and that in the event a Party who is a licensor becomes a debtor in bankruptcy, the provisions of Section 365(n) of the Bankruptcy Code shall apply and the other Party shall continue to have rights under such licenses as long as such Party continues to fulfill all of its obligations, including its obligations to pay royalties, under this Agreement, as and to the extent provided in Section 365(n).  Each Party, in its capacity as licensor of such rights under this Agreement (as applicable), acknowledges and agrees that the other Party, in its capacity as licensee of such rights under this Agreement (as applicable), shall retain and may fully exercise all of such other Party’s rights and elections as and to the extent provided in the Bankruptcy Code.

 

15.11                 No Conflict. Each Party represents that neither this Agreement nor any of its obligations hereunder will conflict or result in a breach of any arrangement or agreement between such Party and any Third Party.

 

15.12                 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the exhibits hereto, sets forth the entire understanding between the Parties hereto as to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all other documents, agreements (including the Confidentiality Agreement, except that the Confidential Information provided under the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to have been provided hereunder), verbal consents, arrangements and understandings by or between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.

 

15.13                 Limitation of Grant. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as granting by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, any license or rights than otherwise set forth herein.

 

15.14                 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed, and enforced in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to its rules concerning conflicts of laws.

 

15.15                 Dispute Resolution.  The parties recognize that a bona fide dispute as to certain matters may arise from time to time during the term of this Agreement that may relate to the parties’ rights and obligations hereunder.  The parties agree that they shall use reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute that may arise in an amicable matter.

 

15.16                 Escalation.  If the parties are unable to resolve such a dispute within thirty (30) days, then before either Party shall be entitled to file a lawsuit in connection with such dispute, either Party within fifteen (15) days, may by written notice to the other Party, require the Parties to submit any such disputed matter to the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties, who shall meet and use good faith efforts to negotiate a resolution within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice.  In the event that the Chief Executive Officers are unable to resolve such dispute within such 30-day period, either Party shall be entitled to seek all legal recourse available to it in connection therewith.  The Chief Executive Officers shall issue their resolution in writing.
