For the avoidance of doubt, more than one of the foregoing milestones may occur in any given calendar year.  For illustrative purposes only, in the event that Annual Net Worldwide Sales of all Licensed Products in the Oncology Field reaches $*** by March 15th of a given calendar year, then Symphony shall be entitled to a milestone payment of $*** within *** (***) days thereafter; and, in the event that Annual Net Worldwide Sales of all Licensed Products in the Oncology Field reaches $*** on October 15th of the same calendar year, Symphony shall be entitled to the milestone payment of $*** within *** days thereafter.

 

For the further avoidance of doubt, (i) each of the milestone payments set forth in this Section 4.2.4 shall be payable only once upon the initial achievement of the applicable milestone event, (ii) no amounts shall be due under this Section 4.2.4 for subsequent or repeated achievement of such milestone event and (iii) for the purposes of this Section 4.2.4, any modified, improved or “next generation” Licensed Product shall be considered the same Licensed Product as the original Licensed Product, regardless of product name or trademark.

sentence of this Section 4.3.4 is discontinued prior to the actual payment thereof by Licensee (within the prescribed time period), then no Development Fee payment will be due with respect to such discontinued Phase III Clinical Trial; provided, however, that the reinstitution or recommencement of such discontinued Phase III Clinical Trial or Study Initiation of any other Phase III Clinical Trial of a Licensed Product in the Non-Oncology Field shall once again obligate Licensee to pay the Development Fee (within the prescribed time period).  Once paid to Symphony, the Development Fee is non-refundable.

 

4.3.4       Development Milestones.  Within *** days following each achievement by Licensee of each of the following milestones with respect to any Licensed Product, Licensee shall provide Symphony with written notice of such achievement and shall pay Symphony the applicable payments below:

For the avoidance of doubt, (i) each of the milestone payments set forth in this Section 4.3.5  shall be payable only once upon the initial achievement of the applicable milestone event, (ii) no amounts shall be due under this Section 4.3.5 for subsequent or repeated achievement of such milestone event and (iii) for the purposes of this Section 4.3.5, any modified, improved or “next generation” Licensed Product shall be considered the same Licensed Product as the original Licensed Product, regardless of product name or trademark.

 

4.4          Royalties.

14











 

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED AS TO CERTAIN PORTIONS OF THIS DOCUMENT. EACH SUCH PORTION, WHICH HAS BEEN OMITTED HEREIN AND REPLACED WITH AN ASTERISK ***, HAS BEEN FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION

 

Licensee shall pay royalties on the Annual Net Worldwide Sales of Licensed Products in an amount equal to the applicable percentages set forth below:

 

	
 
    	
 
    	
Royalty Payable
    	
 
    
	
Annual Net Worldwide Sales
    	
 
    	
Oncology Field

> $***
    	
 
    	
***
    	
 
    	
***
    	
 
    


 

For example, if the Annual Net Worldwide Sales of all Licensed Products in the Oncology Field for a given calendar year are $*** and the Annual Net Worldwide Sales of all Licensed Products in the Non-Oncology Field are $*** (i.e. the Annual Net Worldwide Sales of all Licensed Products are $***) then the royalty payable to Symphony on such Annual Net Worldwide Sales under this Section 4.4.1 for that calendar year would be $***, calculated as follows:  ((***% x $***) + (***% x $***) + (***% x $***)) + (***% x $***).

 

4.4.2       Royalty Term.  Royalties due under this Section 4.4 shall be payable on a country-by-country and Licensed Product-by-Licensed Product basis until the expiration of the last-to-expire Valid Claim of any Licensed Patent covering such Licensed Product in such country.

 

4.4.3       No Multiple Royalties.  No multiple royalties shall be payable because any Licensed Product, its manufacture, use, lease, sale or import is or shall be covered by more than one Licensed Patent.

 

4.4.4       Adjustments for Third Party Licenses.  To the extent that, subsequent to the Effective Date, Licensee is reasonably required to obtain licenses to issued non-Affiliate Third-Party patents or other intellectual property that dominates the Licensed Patents, in order to make, have made, sell, offer for sale, have sold, import and export XL647 in the Field in a particular country in order to avoid infringing such Third-Party intellectual property, Licensee may deduct from the running royalty due to Symphony for that country the amounts actually paid to license such Third-Party patents or intellectual property; provided, however, that the application of such deductions shall not (either singly or in the aggregate) reduce the royalty otherwise payable to Symphony for such country under Section 4.4.1 by more than (***%) in any given calendar quarter.  For clarity, Licensee shall have no right to make any deductions pursuant to this Section 4.4.4 in respect of any license related to formulation or drug-delivery technologies or methods.

 

4.4.5       Adjustments for Competing Products.  In the event that, in any country, a Licensed Product is covered only by a pending patent application(s) within the Licensed Patents (and not by any issued patent included in the Licensed Patents), and if Licensee can demonstrate that a Third Party (other than an Affiliate of Licensee) is selling a competing product having at least a (***%) market share in

 

15

such country, which competing product would infringe one or more claims of such pending patent application if issued as a patent included in the Licensed Patents, then the royalties payable hereunder with respect to such Licensed Product in such country shall be reduced by (***%) during the period before the patent is issued.

 

4.5          Call Option.  Commencing on the Effective Date and ending on December 31, 2013, Licensee, in its sole discretion, shall have the right to purchase, according to the following schedules, all of the future economic obligations owed to Symphony pursuant to Sections 4.2, and 4.3 of this Agreement with respect to Licensed Products in the Oncology Field and/or the Non-Oncology Field:

4.6          Existing Third Party Licenses.  Except with respect to the Third Party Oncology Contracts and Third Party Non-Oncology Contracts, Symphony shall remain responsible for the payment of royalties and other payment obligations, if any, due to Third Parties under any Licensed IP which has been licensed to Symphony and is sublicensed to Licensee hereunder, including without limitation any payments due under existing Third Party license agreements.

 

4.7          Projections.  Without limiting Licensee’s diligence obligations with respect to Licensed Products (including Sections 7.1, 7.2 and 7.3), Symphony and Licensee acknowledge and agree that nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as representing an estimate or projection of anticipated sales of any Licensed Product, and that the milestones and Net Sales levels set forth in Sections 4.2, 4.3 and 4.4 or elsewhere in this Agreement or that have otherwise been discussed by the Parties are merely intended to define the milestone payments and royalty obligations to Symphony in the event such milestones and/or Net Sales levels are achieved.  NEITHER SYMPHONY NOR LICENSEE MAKES ANY REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, THAT LICENSEE WILL BE ABLE TO SUCCESSFULLY COMMERCIALIZE ANY LICENSED PRODUCT OR, IF

ARTICLE 5
 PAYMENTS

 

5.1          Timing.  Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Licensee shall make all milestone, royalty and other payments that are due within *** days after the occurrence of the applicable event, the end of the applicable period, or the receipt of an invoice from Symphony.

 

5.2          Mode of Payment; Currency Conversion.  As used in this Agreement, all references to “U.S. dollars,” “US$,” “dollars” and “$” are to the legal currency of the United States, and Licensee shall make all payments required under this Agreement by wire transfer in immediately available funds to an account designated by Symphony, in U.S. dollars.  All calculations of Net Sales, Annual Net Asian Sales, Annual Net European Sales, Annual Net North American Sales and Annual Net Worldwide Sales to determine the payment of sales milestones and royalties due hereunder shall first be determined in the currency of the country in which the Licensed Products in question were sold and then converted into equivalent U.S. dollars.  Such conversion shall be made at the exchange rate published in The Wall Street Journal, U.S. Eastern Edition, on the date of the occurrence of the applicable event or, as applicable, on the last Business Day of the period to which such payment pertains.

 

5.3          Taxes.  Symphony shall bear any and all taxes levied on account of any payment received by Symphony under this Agreement.  In the event that Licensee is required, under Applicable Laws, to withhold any deduction or tax from any payment due to Symphony under this Agreement, such amount shall be deducted from the payment to be made by Licensee and paid to the proper taxing authority; provided, however, that Licensee shall take reasonable and lawful actions to avoid and minimize such withholding and promptly notify Symphony so that Symphony may take lawful actions to avoid and minimize such withholding.  Licensee shall promptly furnish Symphony with copies of any tax certificate or other documentation evidencing such withholding as necessary to satisfy the requirements of the relevant Governmental Authority related to any application by Symphony for foreign tax credit for such payment.  Each Party agrees to cooperate with the other Party in claiming exemptions from such deductions or withholdings under any agreement or treaty from time to time in effect.

 

5.4          Interest.  Any amount owed by Licensee hereunder that is not paid by the date that such amount is due to be paid under this Agreement shall accrue interest from the date that it first became due and payable until the date that it is paid at the rate of (***%) over *** day LIBOR as reported in The Wall Street Journal, U.S. Eastern Edition.

(b)           After First Commercial Sale.  After the First Commercial Sale of a Licensed Product in any country, Licensee shall deliver reports to Symphony within *** days after the end of each calendar quarter, containing information concerning the immediately preceding calendar quarter, as further described in Section 6.1.2.

 

6.1.2       Content of Reports.  Each report delivered by Licensee to Symphony shall contain in reasonable detail the calculation of the royalties payable to Symphony for the immediately preceding calendar quarter, including at least the following information:

 

(a)           the number of Licensed Products sold or distributed by Licensee, its Affiliates and sublicensees to Third Parties in each country;

 

(b)           the gross price charged by Licensee, its Affiliates and sublicensees for each Licensed Product;

 

(c)           calculation of Net Sales for each Licensed Product for the applicable calendar quarter in each country, including a listing of applicable deductions;

 

(d)           total royalty payable on Net Sales of each Licensed Product in U.S. dollars, together with the exchange rates used for conversion;

 

(e)           the number of sublicenses entered into for the Licensed IP and/or Licensed Products; and

 

(f)            reference to the case numbers and patent numbers which cover the actual Licensed Products sold, so that Symphony can appropriately attribute royalties to particular Licensed Patents.

 

If no amounts are due to Symphony for any calendar quarter, the report shall so state.

 

6.2          Records Retention; Audit.  Licensee, its Affiliates and its sublicensees shall keep and maintain complete and accurate records relating to the rights and obligations under this Agreement and the Net Sales, Annual Net Asian Sales, Annual Net European Sales, Annual Net North American Sales and Annual Net Worldwide Sales of Licensed Products for a period of *** calendar years after the year to which they pertain, and in sufficient detail to permit Symphony to confirm the accuracy of sales milestone and royalty payments due, any reports delivered to Symphony and compliance in other respects with this Agreement.

Annual Net European Sales, Annual Net North American Sales, Annual Net Worldwide Sales or compliance in other respects with this Agreement.  If, as a result of any inspection of the books and records of Licensee, its Affiliates or its sublicensees, it is shown that Licensee’s royalty payments under this Agreement were less than the amount which should have been paid, or that a sales milestone payment should have been paid or should have been paid earlier, then Licensee shall make all payments required to eliminate any discrepancy revealed by said inspection in accordance with Section 5.1, plus interest thereon pursuant to Section 5.4.  Such interest shall be calculated from the date such underpaid amount was due until the date such underpaid amount is actually paid.  In addition, if such underpaid amount is in excess of (***%) of the amount that actually should have been paid by Licensee, then Licensee shall reimburse Symphony for the reasonable cost of such audit.  In the event of an overpayment, such amounts shall be deducted from Symphony’s royalties until fully credited.

 

ARTICLE 7
 DUE DILIGENCE

 

7.1          Diligence Efforts.  Licensee shall (and shall require its sublicensees to) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to, as promptly as is reasonably commercially feasible, (i) develop and commercialize one or more Licensed Products in each of the Oncology Field and the Non-Oncology Field, (ii) commence and continue preclinical studies and clinical trials of Licensed Products in each of the Oncology Field and the Non-Oncology Field in the United States and such other worldwide markets as Licensee elects to commercialize the Licensed Products, (iii) obtain such approvals as may be necessary for the sale of Licensed Products in each of the Oncology Field and the Non-Oncology Field in the United States and such other worldwide markets as Licensee elects to commercialize the Licensed Products, and (iv) fulfill market demand and achieve maximum sales of Licensed Products in each of the Oncology Field and the Non-Oncology Field in the United States and such other worldwide markets as Licensee elects to commercialize the Licensed Products.

12.3.4     any counsel employed by the applicable Indemnifying Party shall fail to timely commence or diligently conduct the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding;

 

in each of which cases the fees and expenses of counsel for such Indemnified Party shall be at the expense of such Indemnifying Party.  Only one counsel shall be retained by all Indemnified Parties with respect to any Indemnified Proceeding, unless counsel for any Indemnified Party reasonably concludes in good faith (which conclusion shall be determinative unless a court determines that such conclusion was not reached reasonably and in good faith) that there is or may be a conflict of interest between such Indemnified Party and one or more other Indemnified Parties in the conduct of the defense of such Indemnified Proceeding or that there are or may be one or more different or additional defenses, claims, counterclaims, or causes or action available to such Indemnified Party.

 

12.4        Settlement.  Without the prior written consent of an Indemnified Party, an Indemnifying Party shall not settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding, unless such settlement, compromise, consent or related judgment (i) includes an unconditional release of such Indemnified Party from all liability for Losses arising out of such claim, action, investigation, suit or other legal proceeding, (ii) provides for the payment of money damages as the sole relief for the claimant (whether at law or in equity), (iii) involves no finding or admission of any violation of law or the rights of any Person by the Indemnified Party, and (iv) is not in the nature of a criminal or regulatory action.  No Indemnified Party shall settle or compromise, or consent to the entry of any judgment in, any pending or threatened Indemnified Proceeding in respect of which any payment would

EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO EITHER PARTY’S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS PURSUANT TO SECTION 12.1, TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NEITHER PARTY NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, MEMBERS, MANAGERS, EMPLOYEES, INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS OR AGENTS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY OF ANY TYPE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS IN CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE AND TORT LIABILITY) FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE LOSS OF OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF USE OR LOSS OF REVENUE OR PROFIT IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SERVICES PERFORMED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF SUCH DAMAGES MAY HAVE BEEN FORESEEABLE.

 

12.6        Insurance.  Licensee shall (and shall cause all sublicense to) carry and maintain in full force and effect insurance, including product liability, directors and officers, and errors and omissions insurance, with respect to its activities under this Agreement and which shall protect Symphony and its Indemnified Parties with respect to events covered by Section 12.1.  Such insurance (i) shall list Symphony as an additional named insured thereunder, and (ii) shall be in such amounts and subject to such deductibles as are prevailing in the industry from time to time; provided, however, that Licensee shall maintain a minimum of an aggregate of *** in product liability insurance, and aggregate of *** in directors and officers insurance and an aggregate of *** in errors and omissions insurance.  Licensee shall continue to maintain such insurance after the expiration or termination of this Agreement during any period in which Licensee or any of its Affiliates or sub licensees continue to develop, manufacture, use, store, sell or otherwise distribute or dispose of any product that was a Licensed Product under this Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 13
 TERM AND TERMINATION

13.2        Effect of Expiration.  Upon the expiration of this Agreement, the license granted to Licensee pursuant to Section 2.1 shall become perpetual, irrevocable, and fully paid-up.

 

13.3        Permissive Termination.  Licensee may terminate this Agreement at any time by providing Symphony notice in writing at least *** months prior to the effective date of termination; provided, however, that Symphony shall have the right to accelerate such termination at Symphony’s option on no less than *** days’ prior written notice to Licensee.

 

13.4        Termination for Cause.

 

13.4.1     Either Party (the “Terminating Party”) may, in its sole discretion, terminate this Agreement in whole or with respect to either the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field if the other Party (the “Breaching Party”) has materially

 

31

breached or defaulted in the performance of any of its obligations hereunder, and such breach or default has continued for sixty (60) days after written notice thereof is provided to the Breaching Party by the Terminating Party; provided, however, that if any such material breach or default relates solely to either the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field, then the Terminating Party shall have no right to terminate the Agreement as a whole, but shall have the right to terminate the Agreement only with respect to the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field, as applicable.  Any such termination shall become effective at the end of such sixty (60) day period unless the Breaching Party has cured or remedied any such breach or default prior to the expiration of such period.  Notwithstanding the above, in the case of a failure to pay any amount due hereunder the period for cure of any such default following notice thereof shall be thirty (30) days and, unless payment is made within such period, the termination shall become effective at the end of such period.

 

13.4.2     Symphony may terminate this Agreement, effective upon written notice to Licensee, if Licensee either brings or intentionally and materially assists a Third Party in any action denying infringement of or otherwise challenging any of the Licensed Patents.

 

13.5        Termination for Insolvency.  If voluntary or involuntary proceedings by or against a Party are instituted in bankruptcy under any insolvency law, or a receiver or custodian is appointed for such Party, or proceedings are instituted by or against such Party for corporate reorganization or the dissolution of such Party, which proceedings, if involuntary, are not dismissed within ninety (90) days after the date of filing, or if such Party makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or substantially all of the assets of such Party are seized or attached and not released within ninety (90) days thereafter, the other Party may immediately terminate this Agreement effective upon notice of such termination.

 

13.6        Effect of Termination.

 

13.6.1     Accrued Rights and Obligations.  Termination of this Agreement, in whole or with respect to either the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field, for any reason does not release any Party hereto from any liability which, at the time of such termination, has already accrued to the other Party or which is attributable to a period prior to such termination, nor preclude either Party from pursuing any rights and remedies it may have hereunder or at law or in equity with respect to any breach of this Agreement.  It is understood and agreed that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of this Agreement and that the nonbreaching Party may be entitled to seek injunctive relief as a remedy for any such breach.  Such remedy shall not be considered to be the exclusive remedy for any such breach of this Agreement, but shall be in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity.

 

13.6.2     Licenses.  Upon termination of this Agreement as a whole, all licenses granted to Licensee hereunder shall terminate.  Upon termination of this Agreement with respect to either the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field,

13.6.4     Payment; Return of Confidential Information.  Upon the termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall promptly:  (A) pay to Symphony all outstanding costs and expenses, if any, accrued pursuant to this Agreement prior to termination; and (B) at its own expense, return to Symphony all relevant records and materials in Licensee’s possession or control containing Symphony’s or its Affiliates’, licensees’ or sublicensees’ Confidential Information; provided, however, that in the event this Agreement is terminated solely with respect to the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field, Licensee shall not be obligated to return records and materials that relate to the non-terminated field.

 

13.6.5     Cease Manufacture.  Subject to Section 13.6.6, upon the termination of this Agreement in whole or with respect to either the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field, Licensee shall discontinue the manufacture, use, marketing, sale and distribution of all Licensed Products that Licensee is no longer licensed to manufacture, use, market, sell or distribute.

 

13.6.6     Stock on Hand.  Upon the termination of this Agreement in whole or with respect to either the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field, Licensee may sell or otherwise dispose of any then-existing stock of any Licensed Product that it is no longer licensed to manufacture, use, market, sell or distribute until *** months after such termination, subject to ARTICLE 4, ARTICLE 5 and ARTICLE 6 and the other applicable terms of this Agreement.

 

13.6.7     Reversion of Rights.  Upon the termination of this Agreement in whole or with respect to either the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field, all, or the applicable portion, of the rights sold, assigned or transferred to Licensee hereunder shall revert to Symphony, and Licensee agrees to execute all instruments necessary and desirable to revest said rights in Symphony.

13.7        Program Transfer.

 

13.7.1     Upon the termination of this Agreement in whole or with respect to either the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, and in addition to its obligations pursuant to Section 13.6, Licensee:

 

(a)           shall promptly transfer to Symphony (or its designee) or provide copies of all tangible documentation, know-how, data, reports, records or other materials or information, whether written or electronic, that is Controlled by Licensee embodying or related to the Licensed IP, Regulatory Files, XL647 or, as applicable, the Oncology Program or the Non-Oncology Program;

provided, however, that if this Agreement is terminated with respect to only either the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field, the foregoing obligations shall be limited to the terminated field.

 

13.7.2     Survival.  ARTICLES 1, 5, 8, 12, 14 and Sections 9.5, 10.1, 11.2 through 11.6 (solely with respect to actions pending at such time) 13.6, and 13.7 of this Agreement shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement in whole or with respect to either the Oncology Field or the Non-Oncology Field, for any reason.

 

13.8        Bankruptcy.  All rights and licenses granted under this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”), licenses to “Intellectual Property” as defined in the Code.

ARTICLE 14
 MISCELLANEOUS PROVISIONS

 

14.1        Events of Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Party nor be deemed to be in default under or in breach of any provision of this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation under this Agreement (except with respect to payment obligations due under this Agreement) when such failure or delay is due to force majeure, and without the fault or negligence of the Party so failing or delaying.  For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure shall be defined as causes beyond the control of the Party, including, without limitation, acts of God; acts, regulations, or laws of any government; war; civil commotion; destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, flood, earthquake, explosion or storm; labor disturbances; epidemic; and failure of public utilities or common carriers.  In such event, Licensee or Symphony, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the other Party of such inability and of the period for which such inability is expected to continue.  The Party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations under this Agreement as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled and for thirty (30) days thereafter.  To the extent possible, each Party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any force majeure.

 

14.2        Notices.  Any notice, request, demand, waiver, consent, approval or other communication which is required or permitted to be given to any Party shall be in writing and shall be deemed given only if delivered to the Party personally or sent to the Party by facsimile transmission (promptly followed by a hard-copy delivered in accordance with this Section 14.2), by next Business Day delivery by a nationally recognized courier service, or by registered or certified mail (return receipt requested), with postage and registration or certification fees thereon prepaid, addressed to the Party at its address set forth below:

Nothing in this Agreement shall affect any right that any Party may otherwise have to bring any action or proceeding relating to this Agreement.

 

14.11.3  Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally waives, to the fullest extent it may legally and effectively do so, any objection that it may now or hereafter have to the laying of venue of any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement in any New York State or federal court.  Each of the Parties hereby irrevocably waives, to the fullest extent permitted by law, the defense of an inconvenient forum to the maintenance of such action or proceeding in any such court.

 

14.12      Waiver of Jury Trial.  EACH OF THE PARTIES HERETO IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY ACTION, PROCEEDING OR COUNTERCLAIM (WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE) ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

14.13      Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, and by the respective Parties in separate counterparts, each of which when executed shall be deemed to be an original but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same Agreement.

 

14.14      No Waiver.  The failure of either Party to enforce at any time for any period the provisions of or any rights deriving from this Agreement shall not be construed to be a waiver of such provisions or rights or the right of such Party thereafter to enforce such provisions.

14.16      Press Releases.  Neither Symphony nor Licensee shall issue any public announcement or written news releases relating to this Agreement unless such public announcement or written news release shall have been mutually approved in writing in advance by both Symphony and Licensee.

The Party extending the rights and immunities granted hereunder shall remain primarily liable for any acts or omissions of its Affiliates.
