12.Covenant. Consultant agrees that during the Term of this Agreement, before the Consultant either directly or indirectly engages in any employment, consulting or other activity that is competitive with, or would otherwise conflict with the Consulting Services rendered to, or that would otherwise be competitive or interfere with the business of, BeiGene or any of its affiliates, the Consultant shall provide a written notice to notify BeiGene of such proposed activity. Upon receipt of such notice or if BeiGene otherwise becomes aware of the competitive or conflicting activities described above, BeiGene shall have the right but not the obligation, at its sole discretion, to terminate this Agreement immediately.  
13.Miscellaneous.
(a)Independent Contractor. The Parties understand and agree that Consultant is an independent contractor and not an agent or employee of BeiGene. Consultant has no authority to obligate 








BeiGene by contract or otherwise. Consultant will not be eligible for any employee benefits of BeiGene and expressly waives any rights to any employee benefits, including any form of equity compensation. Consultant acknowledges that Consultant is not relying upon or seeking BeiGene benefits and the existence of such benefits is not the reason for Consultant to enter into this Agreement.  Consultant will bear sole responsibility for paying and reporting Consultant’s own applicable federal and state income taxes, social security taxes, unemployment insurance, workers’ compensation, and health or disability insurance, retirement benefits, and other welfare or pension benefits, if any, and indemnifies and holds BeiGene harmless from and against any liability with respect to such taxes, benefits and other matters.
(b)Use of Name. Consultant consents to the use by BeiGene of Consultant’s name on its website, in press releases, company brochures, offering documents, presentations, reports or other documents in printed or electronic form, and any documents filed with or submitted to any governmental or regulatory agency or any securities exchange or listing entity; provided, that such materials or presentations accurately describe the nature of Consultant’s relationship with or contribution to BeiGene.
(c)Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement of the Parties with regard to its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written or oral representations, agreements and understandings between the Parties relating to that subject matter. This Agreement may be changed only by a writing signed by Consultant and an authorized representative of BeiGene.
(d)Certain Disclosures and Transparency. Consultant acknowledges that BeiGene and its affiliates are required to abide by federal and state disclosure laws and certain transparency policies governing their activities including providing reports to the government and to the public concerning financial or other relationships with healthcare providers. Consultant agrees that BeiGene and its affiliates may, in their sole discretion, disclose information about this Agreement and about Consultant’s Consulting Services including those relating to healthcare providers and any compensation paid to healthcare providers pursuant to this Agreement. Consultant agrees to promptly supply information reasonably requested by BeiGene for disclosure purposes. To the extent that Consultant is independently obligated to disclose specific information concerning the Consulting Services relating to healthcare providers and compensation paid to healthcare providers pursuant to this Agreement, Consultant will make timely and accurate required disclosures.
(e)Assignment and Binding Effect. Consultant may not assign or transfer this Agreement or any of Consultant’s rights or obligations hereunder. In no event will Consultant assign or delegate responsibility for actual performance of the Consulting Services to any third party without BeiGene’s prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. BeiGene may transfer or assign this Agreement, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of Consultant. Any purported assignment or transfer in violation of this Section is void. This Agreement will be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective legal representatives, heirs, successors and permitted assigns.
(f)Notices. All notices required or permitted under this Agreement must be in writing and must be given by directing the notice to the address for the receiving Party set forth in this Agreement or at such other address as the receiving Party may specify in writing under this procedure. Notices to BeiGene will be marked “Attention: General Counsel, BeiGene, Ltd. c/o BeiGene USA, Inc., 55 Cambridge Parkway, Suite 700W, Cambridge, MA 02142 USA”.

(g)Governing Law. This Agreement and any disputes relating to or arising out of this Agreement will be governed by, construed, and interpreted in accordance with the internal laws of the 








Commonwealth of Massachusetts (the “Governing State”), without regard to any choice of law principle that would require the application of the law of another jurisdiction. The Parties agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the Governing State and waive any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance of any action or proceeding in such courts.  In any claim under this Agreement, Consultant waives its right to a jury trial, to the extent permissible by law.
(h)Severability; Reformation. Each provision in this Agreement is independent and severable from the others, and no provision will be rendered unenforceable because any other provision is found by a proper authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part. If any provision of this Agreement is found by such an authority to be invalid or unenforceable in whole or in part, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision and the intent of the Parties, within the limits of applicable law.
(i)No Strict Construction; Headings. This Agreement has been prepared jointly and will not be strictly construed against either Party. The section headings are included solely for convenience of reference and will not control or affect the meaning or interpretation of any of the provisions of this Agreement.
(j)Waivers. Any delay in enforcing a Party’s rights under this Agreement, or any waiver as to a particular default or other matter, will not constitute a waiver of such Party’s rights to the future enforcement of its rights under this Agreement, except with respect to an express written waiver relating to a particular matter for a particular period of time signed by Consultant and an authorized representative of the waiving Party, as applicable.
(k)Remedies. Consultant agrees that: (i) BeiGene may be irreparably injured by a breach of this Agreement by Consultant; (ii) money damages would not be an adequate remedy for any such breach; (iii) as a remedy for any such breach BeiGene will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including injunctive relief and specific performance, without being required by Consultant to post a bond; and (iv) such remedy will not be the exclusive remedy for any breach of this Agreement.
(l)Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. A portable document format (“.pdf”) copy of this Agreement, including the signature pages, will be deemed an original.
