3.3.1    Each of the Joint Executive Committee and the Joint Steering Committee (each, a “Committee”) will have solely the roles and responsibilities assigned to it in this Article 3 and as otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.  The Committees will have no authority to amend, modify or waive compliance with this Agreement, to make decisions that conflict with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, or to create new obligations for a Party not specified in this Agreement.  Neither the Committees, the Senior Officers, nor either Party exercising its final decision making power pursuant to Sections 3.4 and 3.7, shall have authority to alter, increase, expand, modify or otherwise amend, or to waive compliance with, this Agreement.

3.3.2    Committee Membership.  Either Party may replace its respective committee representatives at any time upon prior written notice to the other Party.  In the event a Committee member from either Party is unable to attend or participate in a Committee meeting, the Party who designated such representative may designate a substitute representative for the meeting in its sole discretion.

In the event any provisions shall be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to substitute a valid, legal and enforceable provision, which conforms as nearly as possible to the original intent of the Parties.

17.4    Notices.  Any notices, consents, waivers, requests, reports, approvals, designations, responses, or other communications provided for in this Agreement to be made by either of the Parties to the others shall be in writing to the other at its/their address set forth below.  Any such notice or communication may be given by mail, hand, overnight courier, email or facsimile.  Either Party may, by like notice, specify an address to which notices and communications shall thereafter be sent.  Any such notice, instruction or communication shall be deemed to have been delivered when (i) received if delivered by hand or overnight courier (with written confirmation of receipt), (ii) received if delivered by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (receipt requested), and (iii) sent by fax or by email (with written confirmation of receipt), provided that a copy is immediately sent by an internationally recognized overnight delivery service (receipt requested); in each case, if such transmission is on a Business Day, otherwise, on the next Business Day following such transmission, and if sent to the appropriate addresses and fax numbers set forth below (or to such other addresses and fax numbers as a Party may designate by notice).

17.5    No Waiver.  None of the provisions of this Agreement can be waived except in a writing signed by the Party granting the waiver.  No failure by a Party to exercise any right under this Agreement or to insist upon compliance with any term or condition of this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, or excuse a similar subsequent failure to perform any such term or condition by the other Party, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right preclude any other or further exercise of that right or the exercise of any other rights.  The waiver by any Party of any breach of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of any prior or subsequent breach.  All remedies of either Party shall be cumulative and the pursuit of one remedy shall not be deemed a waiver of any other remedy.

17.6    Further Assurances.  Each Party shall (and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to) execute, acknowledge and deliver, without additional consideration, such further assurances, instruments and documents, and shall take such further actions, as the other Party shall reasonably request in order to fulfill the intent of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby.  

17.7    No Third Party Beneficiaries.  Except as expressly set forth in this Agreement, no Person other than the Parties and their successors, their respective Affiliates and permitted assigns hereunder shall be deemed a third party beneficiary under the Contracts (Rights of Third Parties) Act 1999 or have any right to enforce any obligation of this Agreement.

17.8    Relationship of the Parties.  The relationship of the Parties under this Agreement shall be solely that of independent contractors and nothing herein shall be construed to create or imply any relationship of employment, agency, joint venture, partnership or any relationship other than that of independent contractors.  Moreover, each Party agrees not to construe this Agreement, or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, as a partnership for any tax purposes.  Each Party shall act solely as an independent contractor, and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to give any Party the power or authority to act for, bind, or commit the other.  Servier and CTI acknowledge and agree that each of them is engaged in a separate and independent business and neither shall state, represent or imply any interest in or control over the business of the other.

17.9    Entire Agreement.  This Agreement and the Appendices, Exhibits and Schedules attached hereto, the Pharmacovigilance Agreement and the Supply Agreement when entered into, constitute the entire understanding between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and thereof, and supersedes all proposals, oral or written, and all other prior communications between the Parties with respect to such subject matter.  In the event of any conflict between a substantive provision of this Agreement and any Exhibit hereto, the substantive provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.  No amendment or modification to this Agreement shall be valid or binding upon the Parties unless designated as such, made in writing and signed by the representatives of such Parties.

17.10    Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, and all of which together, shall constitute one and the same instrument.

17.11    Compliance with Applicable Law.  Each Party shall comply with Applicable Law in the course of performing its obligations or exercising its rights pursuant to this Agreement.  Neither Party (nor any of its Affiliates or Sublicensees) shall, or shall be required to, under this Agreement take any action or to omit to take any action otherwise required to be taken or omitted by it under this Agreement, or shall be penalized for not taking or omitting to take, if the taking or omitting of such action, as the case may be, could in its opinion violate any settlement, consent order, corporate integrity agreement, or judgment to which it may be subject from time to time during the Term.

17.12    Force Majeure.  Neither Party shall be responsible to the other for any failure or delay in performing any of its obligations under this Agreement, or for other nonperformance hereunder, if such delay or nonperformance is caused by strike, stoppage of labor, lockout or other labor trouble, fire, flood, accident, war, act of terrorism, act of God or of the government of any country or of any local government, which is unavoidable and beyond the control of the Party relying on such event to excuse its performance hereunder.  In such event, the Party affected shall use commercially reasonable efforts to resume performance of its obligations.

17.13    English Language.  This Agreement is written and executed in the English language.  Any translation into any other language shall not be an official version of this Agreement and in the event of any conflict in interpretation between the English version and such translation, the English version shall prevail.

17.14    Expenses.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, each Party shall pay the fees and expenses of its respective lawyers and other experts and all other expenses and costs incurred by such Party incidental to the negotiation, preparation, execution and delivery of this Agreement.

17.15    Interpretation.  Unless otherwise expressly specified herein, references to Articles, Sections and Schedules contained herein or attached hereto shall refer to Articles and Sections of this Agreement or its Schedules as applicable, and references to this Agreement include all Appendices hereto.  The terms of each Schedule and Appendices hereto are expressly incorporated herein by reference as if fully set forth herein.  Unless context otherwise clearly requires, whenever used in this Agreement:  (a) the words “include, ” “includes” or “including” shall be construed as incorporating also the phrase “but not limited to” or “without limitation”; (b) the word “day” or “year” or “quarter” shall mean a calendar day or year or quarter, unless otherwise specified; (c) the word “notice” shall mean notice in writing (whether or not specifically stated) and shall include notices, consents, approvals and other written communications contemplated under this Agreement; (d) the words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereby” and derivative or similar words refer to this Agreement (including any Schedules); (e) provisions that require that a Party, the Parties or a Committee hereunder “agree,” “consent” or “approve” or the like shall require that such agreement, consent or approval be specific and in writing, whether by written agreement, letter, approved minutes or otherwise; (f) words of any gender include the other gender; (g) words using the singular or plural number also include the plural or singular number, respectively; (h) references to any specific law, rule or regulation, or article, Section or other division thereof, shall be deemed to include the then-current amendments thereto or any replacement law, rule or regulation thereof; and (i) the word “will” shall be construed to have the same meaning and effect as the word “shall. ”  Ambiguities, if any, in this Agreement shall not be construed against any Party, irrespective of which Party may be deemed to have authored the ambiguous provision.  The language of this Agreement shall be deemed to be the language mutually chosen by the Parties and no rule of strict construction shall be applied against either Party hereto.  This Agreement should be interpreted in its entirety and the fact that certain provisions of this Agreement may be cross-referenced in a Section shall not be deemed or construed to limit the application of other provisions of this Agreement to such Section and vice versa.  The captions and headings to this Agreement are for convenience only, and are to be of no force or effect in construing or interpreting any of the provisions of this Agreement.
