On the basis of such invoices, the CBP shall pay such amounts as may be owed sixty (60) days from the 10th calendar day of the month in which the invoice was rendered or on the following working day if day sixty (60) is not a working day in the CBP's Country.   7.5 Unless the Management Committee authorizes changes to the procedure for the rendering of bills associated with the Capital Costs or O&M Costs, the CBP shall promptly render bills, in accordance with this Paragraph 7 and the billing and payment procedures established by the F&ASC and approved by the Management Committee, to each of the Parties for such Parties' pro rata shares of these costs. Such bills shall be rendered by the CBP not more frequently than quarterly and shall contain a reasonable amount of detail to substantiate them. On the basis of such bills, each Party shall pay the CBP, such amounts as may be owed by the end of the calendar month following the calendar month in which the bill was rendered, on the date specified by the CBP.   18





  7.6 In the case of bills containing costs billed on a preliminary billing basis, appropriate adjustments will be made in subsequent bills promptly after the actual costs involved are determined. As soon as practicable the CBP shall make such adjustments and render such bills or arrange for such credits as appropriate due to changes in the cost actually incurred.   7.7 As soon as practicable after the RFS Date, the amount of each Party's share of the Capital Costs shall be computed by the CBP who shall make appropriate adjustments and render any necessary bills or arrange for any necessary refunds by way of final settlement in order that each Party may bear its proper share of the costs as provided in this Paragraph 7.   7.8 For purposes of this Agreement, financial charges shall be computed as applicable on a daily basis from the date payment is incurred until the date payment is due, at a rate equal to the lowest publicly announced prime rate or minimum commercial lending rate, however described, for 90 day loans in the currencies of the Initial Parties or the currency of billing, as applicable, charged by established commercial banks in the countries concerned on the fifteenth day of the month in which the costs were incurred by the invoicing Parties. If such a day is not a business day, the rate prevailing on the next business day shall be used. The source of the rate of such financial charges shall be as shown at Annex 6. The application of financial charges relating to costs incurred for the APCN 2 Capital Costs and O&M Costs shall be limited to a maximum of 120 days, unless otherwise approved by the Management Committee.   7.9 Amounts billed and not paid when due shall accrue extended payment charges from the day following the date on which payment was due until paid. If the due date is not a business day, the due date shall be postponed to the next business day. For the purpose of this Agreement, extended payment charges shall be computed at three hundred percent (300%) of the rate described in Subparagraph 7.8 on the day following the date payment on the bill was due. In the event that applicable law does not allow the imposition of extended payment charges at the rate established in accordance with this Subparagraph 7.9, extended payment charges shall be at the highest rate permitted by applicable law, which in no event shall be higher than the rate computed in accordance with this Subparagraph 7.9. For purposes of this Agreement, paid shall mean that the funds are immediately available for use by the recipient.   7.10 Credits for refunds of financial charges and bills for extended payment charges shall not be rendered if the amount of charges involved is less than the equivalent of one hundred ($100) US dollars or its equivalent in the billing currency.   7.11 A bill shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Party to whom it is rendered if that Party does not present a written objection on or before the date when payment is due. If such objection is made, the Parties concerned shall make every reasonable effort to settle promptly the dispute concerning the bill in question. If the objection is sustained and the billed Party has paid the disputed bill, the agreed upon overpayment shall be promptly refunded to the objecting Party by the invoicing Party together with any financial charges   19





  calculated thereon at a rate determined in accordance with Subparagraph 7.8 of this Agreement from the date of payment of the bill to the date on which the refund is transmitted to the objecting Party. If the objection is not sustained and the billed Party has not paid the disputed bill, said Party will pay such bill promptly together with any extended payment charges calculated thereon at a rate determined in accordance with Subparagraph 7.9 of this Agreement from the day following the day on which payment was due until paid. Nothing in this Subparagraph 7.11 shall relieve a Party from paying those parts of a bill that are not in dispute.   7.12 Upon the signing of this Agreement, the CBP shall render bills to the Parties for approximately five percent (5%) of their financial commitment in APCN2 as determined by Schedule B. The exact amount of the bills and the billing procedure shall be determined by the Management Committee. The funds received by the CBP from these bills shall be kept in an interest bearing account for the benefit of the Parties to be maintained by the CBP and the used solely and in their entirety to pay the first invoices received by the CBP.   8. CURRENCY OF PAYMENT   All invoices rendered to the CBP shall be in the currency of the United States, or in the currency of the invoicing Party which is specified in Annex 6 or the currency in which the cost was incurred in the case of O&M Costs. Such invoices shall be paid in the currency in which the invoices are rendered. The CBP shall render bills to the Parties in the currency of the United States and be paid in the same currency. In conjunction with the CBP, the F&ASC shall develop procedures to deal with the differences between the exchange rates in the circumstances when the currency of invoices rendered to the CBP is not the currency of the United States.   9. KEEPING AND INSPECTION OF BOOKS FOR SEGMENT S AND T   9.1 For those portions of the Wet Segment, if any, specified in the Supply Contract as cost incurred items, the PG shall ensure that the Supply Contract requires the Supplier to keep and maintain such books, records, vouchers and accounts of all such costs with respect to the engineering, provision and installation of those items for a period of five (5) years from the RFPA Date of the Wet Segment, as specified in the Supply Contract.   9.2 For those portions of the Wet Segment specified in the Supply Contract as fixed cost items, the PG shall ensure that the Supply Contract requires the Supplier to keep and maintain records with respect to their respective billing of those items for a period of five (5) years from the RFPA Date of the Wet Segment, as specified in the Supply Contract.   9.3 The PG shall ensure that the Supply Contract requires the Supplier to obtain from their contractors and subcontractors such supporting records, for other than the cost of fixed cost items, as may be reasonably required by Subparagraph 9.1 and to keep and maintain such records for a period of five (5) years from the RFPA Date of the Wet Segment, as specified in the Supply Contract.   20





  9.4 The PG shall ensure that the Supply Contract shall afford the Parties to this Agreement the right to review the books, records, vouchers, and accounts required to be kept, maintained, and obtained pursuant to Subparagraphs 9.1, 9.2 and 9.3.   9.5 With respect to costs incurred for the provision of the Wet Segment by a Party, comparable records to those specified in Subparagraphs 9.l, 9.2 and 9.3 as appropriate, shall be maintained by the Party for a period of five (5) years from the date that such costs were incurred.   9.6 The PG and the Terminal Parties shall each keep and maintain such books, records, vouchers, and accounts of all costs that are incurred in the engineering, provision and installation of the Wet Segment and Segment T and not included in the Supply Contract, which they incur directly, for a period of five (5) years from the RFS Date or the date the work is completed, whichever is later. The CBP shall keep and maintain such books, records, vouchers and accounts with respect to its billing of costs incurred by the Terminal Parties and any other Party having incurred costs for implementation of APCN 2 as authorized by the Management Committee, and costs billable under the Supply Contract for a period of five (5) years from the System RFS Date or the date on which the work is completed, whichever is later.   9.7 With respect to the operation and maintenance costs of Segments T and the Wet Segment, such books, records, vouchers, and accounts of costs, as are relevant, shall be kept and maintained by the Terminal Parties for a period of five (5) years from the date on which the corresponding bills are rendered to the Parties. If a Terminal Party does not retain these records beyond this period, a summary of important items should be retained for the life of APCN 2.   9.8 Any Party shall have the right to review or audit the relevant books, records, vouchers, and accounts of costs pursuant to this Paragraph 9. In affording the right to review or audit, any such Party whose records are being reviewed or audited shall be permitted to recover, from the Party or Parties requesting the review or audit, the entire costs reasonably incurred in complying with the review or audit. In the case of an audit initiated by the Management Committee and exercised by the F&ASC, the audited Party or Parties shall be permitted to recover the entire costs of the review or audit from the Parties in the proportions specified in Schedule B.   9.9 Any rights of review and audit pursuant to this Paragraph 9 shall only be exercisable through the F&ASC in accordance with the F&ASC's audit procedures.   10. DUTIES AND RIGHTS AS TO OPERATION AND MAINTENANCE OF SEGMENTS   10.1 Each Terminal Party shall be solely responsible for the operation and maintenance of their respective Segment T as identified in Paragraph 4 and that portion of Segment S between the Network Interface at the Terminal Station and their respective Cable   21





  Landing Point. Such Terminal Party shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain or cause to be maintained economically their respective Segment T and such portion of Segment S, in efficient working order.   10.2 The Terminal Parties (for the purposes of this Paragraph 10, collectively called the Maintenance Authorities and each individual called a Maintenance Authority or MA), shall be jointly responsible for the operation and maintenance of the Wet Segment and shall use all reasonable efforts to maintain economically the Wet Segment in efficient working order and with an objective of achieving effective and timely repairs when necessary.   10.3 Prior to the RFS Date the MAs shall submit for review by the O&MSC and approval by the Management Committee appropriate practices and procedures for the continued operation and maintenance of the Wet Segment. The MAs shall each provide information to the O&MSC regarding the practices and procedures for the continued operation and maintenance of their respective Segments. The MAs shall also furnish such budgetary estimates of the cost of such operation and maintenance of the APCN 2 as the Management Committee may reasonably request. Following the RFS Date, the MAs shall provide the O&MSC and the Management Committee with such reports as it may reasonably require on the operation of the APCN 2 including any proposals for planned repair or improvement work, together with appropriately revised budgetary estimates relating to the operation and maintenance of the APCN 2. The O&MSC may review and amend the practices and procedures for the operation and maintenance of the Wet Segment, subject to the approval of the Management Committee. To facilitate in the maintenance of the APCN 2, the MAs may revise the allocation of responsibilities amongst themselves for the Wet Segment between the Cable Landing Points and any such decision shall be subject to the approval of the Management Committee.   10.4 The MAs shall have the right to deactivate the Wet Segment or any part thereof, in order to perform their duties. Prior to such deactivation, reasonable notice shall be given to, and coordination shall be made with, the other Parties hereto. To the extent possible, sixty (60) days prior to initiating action, the MA involved shall advise the other Parties hereto in writing of the timing, scope, and costs of significant planned maintenance operations, of significant changes to existing operations and maintenance methods and of contractual arrangements for cable ships that will have a significant impact on operation or maintenance costs. Should one or more Parties representing at least two- thirds (66.67%) of the total voting interests in accordance with Schedule B, wish to review such an operation or change prior to its occurrence, such Party or Parties shall notify the appropriate Maintenance Authority and a O&MSC Co-Chairman in writing within thirty (30) days of such advice. Upon such notification, the O&MSC shall initiate action to convene an ad hoc meeting for such review.   10.5 Notwithstanding Paragraph 32, each MA shall be authorized to pursue claims in its own name, on behalf of the Parties, in the event of any damage or loss to the APCN 2 and may file appropriate lawsuits or other proceedings on behalf of the Parties. The MA shall immediately inform the Management Committee and comply with any direction   22





  therefrom. Subject to obtaining the prior concurrence of the Management Committee, a MA may settle or compromise any such claims and execute releases and settlement agreements on behalf of the Parties as necessary to effect a settlement or compromise.   10.6 Each Party that has designed or procured equipment used in the APCN 2 shall give necessary information relating to the operation and maintenance of such equipment to the MA responsible for operating and maintaining such equipment, as reflected in this Paragraph 10. Each Maintenance Authority shall have prompt access necessary for the performance of its   10.7 [Missing]   interruption. if the MA responsible, as specified in this Paragraph 10, fails to restore those facilities to efficient working order and operation within a reasonable time after having been called upon to do so by any other Party to whom capacity is assigned by this Agreement, the Management Committee may, to the extent that it is practical to do so, place, or cause to be placed, such facilities in efficient working order and operation and charge the Parties their proportionate shares of the costs reasonably incurred in doing so.   10.8 Each Party to this Agreement, at its own expense, shall have the right to inspect from time to time the operation and maintenance of any portion of the APCN 2 and to obtain copies of the maintenance records. For this purpose, the Maintenance Authority shall retain significant records, for a period of not less than five (5) years from the date of the record. If these records are destroyed at the end of this period, a summary of important items should be retained for the life of the APCN 2.   10.9 The MAs shall be entitled to establish the necessary agreements in respect of the crossings by the Wet Segment of other undersea plant, including but not limited to pipelines, and may sign these agreements on behalf of the Parties after approval by the Management Committee and shall provide the Parties with appropriate copies of these agreements on request.   11. USE OF SEGMENT T   11.1 The Terminal Parties hereby grant to the Parties accessing APCN 2 at their respective terminal station, the right of use in the relevant Segment T (hereinafter referred to as Terminal Station Right of Use) on the terms and conditions stated in this Paragraph 11, to the extent required for the use of its Allocated Capacity, for the purpose of using APCN 2 and carrying on the related activities at that location in accordance with this Agreement. This Terminal Station Right of Use shall commence on the RFS Date and shall continue for the duration of this Agreement.   11.2 In the event that an agreement for another cable system utilizing any Terminal Station of the APCN 2 is terminated prior to the termination of this Agreement, the owner of the respective Segment T, with the agreement of the Parties hereto, shall take all necessary   23





  measures to ensure that the Terminal Station in question will be available for the APCN 2 for the duration of this Agreement on fair and equitable terms. If the Terminal Station in question is not available for the landing and terminating of the APCN 2 for any reason, the owner of the Terminal Station shall provide reasonable advance notice to all Parties and such owner, in agreement with the Parties hereto, shall take all necessary measures to ensure that another appropriate Terminal Station will be available for the APCN 2 for the duration of this Agreement on terms and conditions similar to those contained in this Agreement. Applicable costs to the Parties will be determined by the Management Committee.   11.3 For each Terminal Station Right of Use, the Parties hereto shall not be required to pay any additional charges over and above the Capital Costs and O&M costs.   11.4 Notwithstanding Subparagraph 11.1 of this Agreement, a Party thereby granted a Terminal Station Right of Use interest in Segment T may, prior to the commencement of that Terminal Station Right of Use interest, elect to renounce its Terminal Station Right of Use entitlement and to instead have use of any Segment T for the duration of this Agreement on such terms and conditions as are agreed between that Party and the relevant Terminal Party, and in such event the provisions of Subparagraphs 11.1 of this Agreement shall apply in relation to such use except insofar as they may be modified by such agreements. This Subparagraph 11.4 shall not operate to confer on a Party any financial or other benefit of substance to which that Party would not otherwise be entitled under this Agreement.   11.5 The Terminal Parties agree to grant a Terminal Station Right of Use to APCN 2 IRU purchasers.   11.6 In the event of a sale or other disposition of Segment T1, T2,T3, T4, T5, T6, T7, T8, T9 and T10, or part thereof prior to the termination of this Agreement, the owner shall share with the other Parties hereto any net proceeds, or costs, of such sale or disposition received, or expended, by the owner, to the extent allocable to the Capital Costs, in the proportions set forth in Schedule B.   12. ACQUISITION AND USE OF CAPACITY   12.1 Capacity of APCN 2 can only be used by a carrier.   12.2 Parties shall obtain Allocated Capacity in the form of MIU on an ownership basis as shown in Schedule C, in return for their financial investment as identified in Schedule B.   12.3 Procedures for Parties activation of their Allocated Capacity will be developed by the AR&RSC and the NA for Management Committee approval.   24





  ASSIGNMENT OF CAPACITY   12.4 For each MIU of its Allocated Capacity, a Party is allowed to assign two (2) half STM-l circuits on any Path within the APCN 2. All such circuits are ring-protected. Additional ring-protected half STM-1 circuits may be granted proportionately to a Party's Allocated Capacity as shown in Schedule C at the discretion of the Management Committee according to the recommendation of the AR&RSC and the NA.   12.5 The Parties may designate a portion of their Allocated Capacity in specific Paths of the APCN 2 as:   (i) Jointly Assigned Circuit (hereinafter referred to as JAC) which shall be considered as consisting of two half STM-I circuits, with one half STM-1 circuit assigned to a Party, which together with the corresponding half STM-1 circuit, shall be used for the provision of international telecommunications services between such a Party and another Carrier that has received the right of use pursuant to this Paragraph 12 or an APCN 2 IRU purchaser. Any alteration to the JAC is subject to bilateral agreement between both Carriers.   (ii) Wholly Assigned Circuit (hereinafter referred to as WAC) which shall be considered as consisting of two half STM-1 circuits assigned to one Party.   USE OF WHOLLY ASSIGNED CIRCUIT   12.6 A Party is allowed to use its WAC for the provision of international telecommunications services with itself, its Subsidiary, its Parent Company and/or the Subsidiary of the Party's Parent Company provided that the correspondent parties are also Carriers.   12.7 A Party is also allowed to use its WAC to interconnect with other communication systems for the provision of international telecommunications services terminating outside the APCN 2 landing Countries. If such WAC is originated from any APCN 2 landing Country, such Party must be a Carrier of that Country.   12.8 A Party is also allowed to use its WAC for the provision of international telecommunications services with its Affiliate and/or the Affiliate of the Party's Parent Company provided that this Affiliate is a Carrier and a cash contribution is made by the Party to a special fund dedicated solely to fund future upgrades to increase the Equipped Capacity. The amount of the contribution is described in Annex 7.   PORTABILITY OF CAPACITY   12.9 A Party is allowed to de-assign its JAC and/or WAC to its Allocated Capacity provided that bilateral agreement is given by the concerned Camera and according to the guidelines to be developed by the AR&RSC and the NA.   12.10 Re-assignment of Allocated Capacity which resulted from the de-assignment of the JAC and/or WAC shall give priority to the assignment of Allocated Capacity which has not   25





  been de-assigned before, in the event that there is any conflicting requirement for use of capacity on the APCN 2.   12.11 Under no circumstances shall a Party's JAC and/or WAC be de-activated due to the assignment of other Parties' Allocated Capacity.   TRANSFER OF CAPACITY   12.12 For the purpose of this Agreement, Transfer of capacity (hereinafter called Transfer) is the making available of all the right of use of the capacity being made available that is accorded to a Party by this Agreement to a third party without transferring the Party's other obligations and rights including the right of Transfer.   12.13 Transfer of a Party's Allocated Capacity to its Subsidiary or its Parent Company or the Subsidiary of the Party's Parent Company is allowed provided that the capacity transferred is in multiples of the MIU and that the recipient of the transferred capacity is a Carrier.   12.14 Transfer of a Party's Allocated Capacity to its Affiliate and/or the Affiliate of the Party's Parent Company is also allowed provided that the capacity transferred is in multiples of the MIU and that the recipient of the transferred capacity is a Carrier. For the Transfer to an Affiliate, the transferring party shall make a cash contribution to a special fund dedicated solely to fund future upgrades to increase the Equipped Capacity. The amount of the contribution is described in Annex 7.   12.15 The conditions applicable to the use and Transfer of capacity as specified in Annex 7 shall be relaxed after the Equipped Capacity is expanded to four (4) times of Initial Equipped Capacity or two (2) years after the RFS date whichever comes first unless an earlier date is approved by the Management Committee. Any relaxations on these conditions shall be approved by a vote of the members of the Management Committee representing at least seventy-five percent (75%) of the total voting interests as specified in Schedule B.   12.16 The Unallocated Capacity in the APCN 2 shall be owned by the Parties in common and undivided shares in accordance with the percentages in Schedule C.   12.17 IRU Capacity will be sold at the MJU level. Such IRU Capacity will be sold from the Unallocated Capacity. Proceeds from the sale of such IRU Capacity shall be used to fund the Expansion of the APCN 2 Equipped Capacity.   12.18 A Party or IRU purchaser may use its MIU with itself, another Party, or IRU purchaser to form matched circuits.   12.19 The distribution of capacity from the initial Unallocated Capacity shall be made no later than three (3) years from the RFS date on a pro rata basis, in MIUs, in accordance with the percentages in Schedule C. The exact time to implement such distribution of capacity   26





  shall be decided by a vote of members of the Management Committee representing at least two-thirds (66.67%) of the total voting interests as specified in Schedule B.   12.20 Once the Equipped Capacity is expanded to six (6) times of Initial Equipped Capacity or three (3) years after the RFS date whichever comes first unless an earlier date is approved by the Management Committee, any Party is entitled to sell IRU to other Carriers from its Allocated Capacity on a private basis without any restrictions except that the IRU shall be for the life of APCN 2. The terms and conditions including pricing of such private IRU sales are bilateral matters between granting Party and purchaser.   12.21 When Unallocated Capacity is depleted, and during the period until the availability of additional Unallocated Capacity, a Party may be allowed to sell IRU to other Carriers from its Allocated Capacity privately subject to the Management Committee's approval on a case by case basis. The terms and conditions including pricing of such private IRU sales are bilateral matters between granting Party and purchaser.   12.22 Notwithstanding any other provisions in this Paragraph 12, when the Equipped Capacity is expanded to six (6) times of Initial Equipped Capacity or three (3) years after the RFS date whichever comes first, any Party is entitled to make available any of its Allocated Capacity for use by other Carriers on any commercial basis without any restrictions.   12.23 Guidelines for use of the IRU Capacity and Terms and Conditions of the IRU agreement shall be developed by the I&ASC and approved by a vote of members of the Management Committee representing at least two-thirds (66.67%) of the total voting interests as specified in Schedule B. The NA shall be authorized to execute IRU agreements for one or more whole MIUs with APCN 2 IRU Capacity purchasers on behalf of the Parties to this Agreement. No provisions of the IRU agreement shall override the provisions of this Agreement.   12.24 Schedules B, C, and D shall be modified by the NA, as appropriate, to reflect any revised ownership of capacity or sales of IRU Capacity pursuant to this Paragraph 12.   12.25 The Management Committee may authorize use of the Unallocated Capacity for restoration of telecommunications services and other purposes. The terms and conditions of such use shall be determined by the Management Committee based, in part, on terms to be agreed to by the relevant Terminal Parties of the APCN 2, in recognition of the technical and operational impact on the Terminal Station operations. Parties will receive revenues in accordance with Schedule C.   12.26 The communications capability of any capacity may be optimized by the Parties to whom such capacity is allocated by the use of equipment which will more efficiently use such capacity provided that the use of such equipment does not cause an interruption of, or interference, impairment, or degradation to, the use of any other capacity in the APCN 2 or prevent the use of similar equipment by other Parties. A Party to whom capacity is allocated shall permit the use of such equipment by a Carrier to which such Party has   27





  made available the use of any such capacity, provided that such Carrier agrees that its use of the equipment will satisfy the conditions set forth in this Subparagraph 12.26.   12.27 A Party may sell capacity in fascicles smaller than a STM-1 in the APCN 2 at any time on any basis other than by transfer of ownership. The APCN 2 shall not be responsible for aggregating such capacity to the STM-1 level.   13. EXPANSION OF EQUIPPED CAPACITY   13.1 Any upgrade of Equipped Capacity of APCN 2, including any costs, financial adjustments and allocation of capacity associated with such upgrade, shall be approved by vote of members of the Management Committee representing at least two-thirds (66.67%) of the total voting interests as specified in Schedule B.   13.2 All Parties shall have the might to a pro-rata share of the upgrade capacity in accordance with Schedule C. However, no Party shall be forced to participate in such an upgrade. Parties not   14. INCREASE OR DECREASE OF DESIGN CAPACITY   14.1 In the event that the Initial Parties consider that it is beneficial to increase the Design Capacity of APCN 2, a Design Capacity expansion, including any costs, financial adjustments and allocation of capacity associated with such upgrade, shall be decided by the Management Committee representing at least two-thirds (66.67%) of the total voting interests as specified in Schedule B. However, no Party shall be forced to participate in such an upgrade, in the event that incremental funding is required to execute such an upgrade. Schedules B and C shall be appropriately modified to reflect the revisions associated with such increase of Design Capacity.   14.2 In the event that the capacity which APCN 2 or any Segment thereof is capable of providing is reduced below the capacity required to support the Allocated Capacity on its existing or planned routings as a result of physical deterioration, or for other reasons beyond the control of the Parties, the Management Committee shall initiate a review of the capacity routings, in order to support the rerouting of such Allocated Capacity.   14.3 In the event that the capacity which APCN 2 or any Segment thereof is capable of providing is lower than the capacity needed to support the routing of circuits assigned in APCN 2, the Allocated Capacity of the Parties may be reduced or changed as necessary and agreed by the Parties affected, and financial adjustments shall be made among the Parties, as necessary, on the terms and conditions to be agreed by the Management Committee. The Schedules shall be modified, as appropriate, to reflect the revised Allocated Capacity associated with such decrease of the Design Capacity.   28





  15. OBLIGATION TO PROVIDE TRANSITING FACILITIES TO EXTEND APCN2 CAPACITY TO EXTEND APCN 2 CAPACITY   15.1 The Terminal Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to provide and maintain or cause to be provided and maintained in working order for the duration of this Agreement, the necessary transit facilities within their respective Countries as may be reasonably required for extending capacity in the APCN 2 so as to provide connections to the other international cables' transmission facilities.   15.2 The facilities provided pursuant to Subparagraph 15.1 shall be suitable for extending capacity in the APCN 2 of all payload types as defined in Subparagraph 15.3 and shall be furnished and maintained on terms and conditions which shall be no less favorable than those granted to another Carrier for transmission facilities of similar type and quantity transiting the location involved. Such terms and conditions shall not be inconsistent with applicable governmental regulations in the Countries in which the facilities are located.   15.3 As required the Terminal Parties shall support payloads of STM-l, STM-4, STM-l6 and STM-64.   16. OBLIGATION TO CONNECT THE APCN 2 WITH INLAND SYSTEMS   16.1 The Parties shall, at their own expense, on or before the RFS Date, do or cause to be done, all such acts and things as may be necessary within its operating Country to provide and maintain throughout the period of this Agreement suitable connection of capacity from APCN 2 with appropriate inland communications facilities in its operating Country.   16.2 The Terminal Parties will provide connection to APCN 2 to other Carriers within their Countries on terms and conditions negotiated and agreed by the parties concerned.   17. DIRECT ACCESS TO NETWORK INTERFACE AND EQUAL ACCESS TO TERMINAL STATION   17.1 The Terminal Parties agree to confer the right of Direct Access at the Network Interface to each Party and all other Carriers that have received the Right of Use pursuant to Paragraph 12. The connection to the Network Interface at specific Terminal Stations shall be provided at a reasonable cost in accordance with the physical, engineering and any locally applicable arrangements between the Carriers accessing the Network Interface and the respective Terminal Parties at the Terminal Station.   17.2 Upon request by the Parties or the other Carriers, the Terminal Party shall enter into negotiation in good faith with these parties to agree the above arrangements in a timely manner. Any arrangements agreed upon shall be reasonable and non-discriminatory.   29





  17.3 The physical and engineering arrangements to be negotiated shall include all reasonable arrangements such as mid-span interconnection, equipment co-location (whether physical or virtual), or the sharing of Direct Access facilities by one or more Carriers in accordance with applicable commercial arrangements to be negotiated between the Terminal Party and the Carriers concerned.   17.4 The Terminal Parties shall not and hereby pledge not to impede or cause to impede any qualified Carriers in exercising their right of Direct Access hereby conferred, including but not limited to the negotiation between the non-Terminal Parties and Carriers for their own facilities to access their Allocated Capacity including for purpose of providing backhaul and transiting facilities.   18. DURATION OF AGREEMENT AND REALIZATION OF ASSETS   18.1 This Agreement shall become effective on the date and year first above written and shall continue in operation for at least an initial period of twenty-five (25) years following the RFS Date (hereinafter referred to as initial Period) and shall be terminable thereafter by agreement of the Parties. However, any Party may terminate its participation in this Agreement at the end of the Initial Period or any time thereafter by giving not less than one (1) year's prior notice thereof, in writing, to the other Parties.   18.2 This Agreement may be terminated at any time during the Initial Period by agreement in writing of all the Parties. If unanimous agreement cannot be reached between all the Parties for the retirement of APCN 2 during its specified useful life, this subject matter shall be referred to the Management Committee for resolution in accordance with paragraph 3 but in this case a ninety percent (90%) majority of the total voting interests as specified in Schedule B is required.   18.3 After the Initial Period of twenty-five (25) years, decommissioning can be implemented by agreement of a number of Parties representing at least two-thirds (66.67%) of the voting interests specified in Schedule B.   18.4 If a Terminal Party terminates its participation in this Agreement pursuant to Subparagraph 18.1 of this Agreement after the Initial Period of twenty-five (25) years, the remaining Parties and the said Terminal Party will negotiate a reasonable agreement in order to ensure the continuous operation of the said Terminal Party's Terminal Station after the Initial Period.   18.5 Upon the effective date of termination of participation of a Party, Schedules of this Agreement shall be appropriately modified. The remaining Parties to this Agreement shall assume the obligations, capital, operation, and maintenance interests of the Party terminating its participation in proportion to their interests assigned immediately preceding such effective date of termination, except for the continuing rights and obligations of the terminating Party as specified in Subparagraph 18.7 of this Agreement.   30

Such causes shall include (but not be limited to):   (i) any delay in the provision of the APCN 2; (ii) any damage to, breakdown in or failure of the APCN 2; and (iii) any interruption of service,   32





  whatever may be the reason or duration for such loss, damage or delay and for however long it shall continue.   22. ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS   22.1 Except as otherwise provided in Paragraph 12 and Subparagraphs 22.2, 22.3, 22.4 and 22.5, during the term of this Agreement, no Party may assign, sell, transfer or dispose of the whole or any parts of its rights or obligations under this Agreement   22.2 A Party may at any time, with the prior written consent of the Management Committee, assign, sell or transfer the whole of its rights and obligations under this Agreement. The Management Committee must not unreasonably withhold or delay its approval.   22.3 A Party may at any time assign, sell or transfer the whole of' its rights and obligations under this Agreement to:   (a) a successor of that Party; (b) a Parent Company of that Party; (e) a Subsidiary or Affiliate of that Party; and (d) another Subsidiary or Affiliate of that Party's Parent Company.   22.4 A Party (hereafter Assignor) may assign, sell or transfer a portion of its rights under this Agreement to a Parent Company, its Subsidiary, and/or the Subsidiary of the Party's Parent Company (hereafter Assignee). Such partial assignment shall be allowed only once to any such Assignee, and shall not negate any of the obligations of the Assignor. If the Assignor is an Initial Party, then the Initial Party status of the Assignor shall be maintained and the Assignor's voting rights shall be shared with such Assignee. The relevant Schedules to this Agreement shall be revised to reflect each such partial assignment permitted hereunder, showing the Assignee as a Party. No subsequent assignment shall be effected by the Assignee except as provided in Subparagraph 22.3(a).   22.5 Without limiting the applicability of Subparagraph 22.4, a Party may assign its rights, title and interests in any portion of APCN 2 within the territorial limits of any Country (both under the current and any future configuration) to a Subsidiary, Parent Company or a Subsidiary of a Parent Company of that Party only if:   a) the Assignee shall own and be responsible for the capital, operations and maintenance costs listed against the Party for that portion of APCN 2 within the territorial limits of any Country (both under the current and future configuration); the Party shall own and be responsible for the capital, operating and maintenance costs listed against the Party for the remainder of APCN 2; and   b) the Assignee will have no tights and obligations independent from the rights and obligations of the Party in respect of the assigned portion of the APCN 2   33

DEFAULT   23.1 If any Party fails to make any payment required by this Agreement on the date when it is due and such default continues for a period of at least one (1) month after the payment due date, the CBP shall notify the billed Party and also the Management Committee in writing of the status of the matter and will request the reclamation of capacity, as provided for in this Paragraph 23, if full payment is not received within two (2) months of such notification. If full payment is not received within such specified period, the Management Committee may reclaim the Capacity in the APCN 2 allocated to the billed Party.   23.2 The Management Committee shall consider any extenuating circumstances not within the specific control of the billed Party in determining whether or not to reclaim the capacity assigned to such billed Party. If the Management Committee nevertheless reclaims any capacity in the APCN 2 assigned to such defaulting Party, the defaulting Party shall not be entitled to any payment or credit for the reclaimed capacity. The Management Committee shall determine arrangements for disposition of any reclaimed capacity. All rights of a defaulting Party under this Agreement shall terminate as of the time all its capacity in the APCN 2 is reclaimed by the Management Committee; and concurrent with such reclamation of capacity, the defaulting Party will no longer be deemed to be a Party to this Agreement. Such reclamation shall not relieve the defaulting Party from its obligations under this Agreement, including but not limited to the payment of its unpaid accounts, which have been incurred prior to the actual reclamation. The defaulting Party is not entitled to any reimbursement of any amounts it had paid under this Agreement. In such circumstances, the Schedules shall be revised to reflect the default of a Party and the reallocation of interests pursuant to the arrangements determined by the Management Committee.   23.3 Notwithstanding Subparagraph 23.2, reclamation of a Terminal Party's capacity will not release the Terminal Party from providing, operating and maintaining its respective Terminal Station until a reasonable agreement is negotiated in order to ensure the continuous operation of the said Terminal Party's Terminal Station after reclamation of its capacity.   24. WAIVER   The failure of any Party, on one or more occasions, to enforce any of the provisions of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege hereunder shall not thereafter be   34





  construed as a waiver of any breach or default, or as a waiver of any such provision, right, or privilege hereunder.   25. COMPLIANCE WITH LAW   In the performance of their obligations hereunder, the Parties agree to comply with all applicable laws of all Countries having jurisdiction over the activities performed under or stipulated by this Agreement.   26.

However, in the event that they are unable to resolve such dispute, the matter shall be referred to the Management Committee which shall either resolve the matter or determine the method, such as arbitration, by which the matter should be resolved. This procedure shall be the sole and exclusive remedy for any dispute which may arise under this Agreement between or among the Parties. The performance of this Agreement by the Parties shall continue during the resolution of any dispute.   27.2 If any difference shall arise between or among the Parties or any of them in respect of the interpretation or effect of this Agreement or any part or provision thereof or their rights and obligations thereunder, and by reasons thereof there shall arise the need to decide the question by what municipal or national law this Agreement or any part or provision thereof is governed, the following facts shall be excluded from consideration, namely that this Agreement was made in a particular country and that it may appear by reason of its form, style, language or otherwise to have been drawn preponderantly with reference to a particular system of municipal or national law; the intention of the Parties being that such facts shall be regarded by the Parties and in all courts and tribunals wherever situated as irrelevant to the question aforesaid and to the decision thereof.   28.

Source: CYTODYN INC., 10-Q, 1/9/2020





In the event that a Licensed Product is sold as a Combination Product, Net Sales shall be determined as follows:

(A) where all API(s) in such Combination Product are sold separately in the Territory, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/(A+B), where A is the weighted (by sales volume) average unit sale price of the Licensed Product, as sold separately in finished form in the Territory, where net sales is calculated in the same manner as Net Sales, and B is the sum of the weighted average unit sale price in the Territory (net sales being calculated in the same manner as Net Sales) of the other API(s) included in the Combination Product when sold separately in finished form at the same dosage levels, in each case during the applicable royalty reporting period, or, if sales of both the Licensed Product and the other API(s) did not occur in the same country in such period, then in the most recent royalty reporting period in which sales of both occurred, provided that such recent royalty reporting period shall not have been more than twenty-four (24) months earlier.

(B) In the event that such weighted average sale price of the Licensed Product component of the Combination Product cannot be determined, but the weighted average sale price of the other API(s) in the Combination Product can be determined, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction (C-D)/C, where C is the weighted (by sales volume) average unit sale price of the Combination Product, and D is the sum of the weighted (by sales volume) average unit sales prices charged for the other API(s) in the Combination Product when sold separately in finished form.

(C) In the event that such weighted average sale price of the other API(s) in the Combination Product cannot be determined, but the weighted average sale price of the Licensed Product component of the Combination Product can be determined, Net Sales shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product by the fraction A/C, where A is the weighted (by sales volume) average unit sales price of such Licensed Product component as sold separately, and C is the weighted (by sales volume) average unit sales price of the Combination Product.

(D) In the event that neither the weighted average sale price of the Licensed Product nor the weighted average sales price of the other API(s) in the Combination Product can be determined, the Net Sales of the Licensed Product shall be calculated by multiplying the Net Sales of the Combination Product (determined as provided above for Licensed Products) by the fraction D/D+E where D is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Product that includes the Licensed Product and E is the fair market value of the portion of the Combination Product containing the other API(s) in such Combination Product, and all such fair market values shall be determined in good faith by the Parties.

In the event either Party reasonably believes that the calculation set forth above does not fairly reflect the value of the Licensed Product, relative to the other API(s) in the Combination Product, the Parties shall negotiate, in good faith, other means of calculating Net Sales with respect to Combination Products to so reflect such value.

The weighted average sale price for a Licensed Product, any other API(s) used in a Combination Product, or any Combination Product shall be calculated once each Calendar Year, at the beginning of such Calendar Year, and such price shall be used during all applicable royalty reporting periods for such entire Calendar Year. When determining the weighted average sale price of a Licensed Product, other API(s), or Combination Product, the weighted average sale price shall be calculated by dividing the sales dollar (translated into U.S. dollars) by the units of active ingredient sold during the preceding Calendar Year (or the number of months sold in a partial Calendar Year) for the respective Licensed Product, other API(s), or Combination Product. In the initial Calendar Year, a forecasted weighted average sale price will be used for the Licensed Product, other API(s) or Combination Product.

If the Parties agree in good faith that it is reasonable to enter into a license with such Third Party to avoid infringement of such Third Party patent(s)by the sale, offer for sale or use of a Licensed Product in the Field in the Territory (each such license, a Required Third Party License), then CytoDyn shall have the right to negotiate the terms of such Required Third Party License and the amounts payable under such Required Third Party License shall be deducted from the royalties payable to CytoDyn.

In such case Vyera shall apply the reduced rate of withholding, or not withhold, as the case may be, provided that Vyera is in receipt of evidence, in a form reasonably satisfactory to Vyera, for example CytoDyn's delivery of all required documentation at least five (5) Business Days prior to the time that the Payments are due. If, in accordance with the foregoing, Vyera withholds any amount, it shall pay to CytoDyn the balance when due, make timely payment to the proper taxing authority of the withheld amount, and send CytoDyn proof of such payment within thirty (30) days following that payment.

Any amounts shown to have been overpaid shall be refunded within thirty (30) days from the accountant's report.

The audit rights set forth in this Section 8.11 shall survive the Term for a period of three (3) years.

8.12 Late Payment. All payments due to a Party under this Agreement shall be made in U.S. Dollars by wire transfer of immediately available funds into an account designated by the receiving Party. If a Party does not receive payment of any sum due to it on or before the due date, simple interest shall thereafter accrue on the sum due to such Party until the date of payment at the per annum rate of two percent (2%) over the then prime rate quoted by Citibank in New York City or the maximum rate allowable by Applicable Law, whichever is lower.

Upon receipt of notice under this Section 13.3 from the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party will have the duty to either compromise or defend, at its own expense and by counsel (reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee) such Claim. The Indemnifying Party will promptly (and in any event not more than twenty (20) days after receipt of the Indemnitee's original notice) notify the Indemnitee in writing that it acknowledges its obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee with respect to the Claim pursuant to this Article 13 and of its intention either to compromise or defend such Claim. Once the Indemnifying Party gives such notice to the Indemnitee, the Indemnifying Party is not liable to the Indemnitee for the fees of other counsel or any other expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with such defense, other than the Indemnitee's reasonable out of pocket Third Party expenses related to its investigation and cooperation, except as otherwise provided in the next sentence. As to all Claims as to which the Indemnifying Party has assumed control under this Section 13.3(b), the Indemnitee shall have the right to employ separate counsel and to participate in the defense of a Claim (as reasonably directed by the Indemnifying Party) at its own expense; provided, however, that if the Indemnitee shall have reasonably concluded, based upon a written opinion from outside legal counsel, that there is a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnitee in the defense of such Claim, in which case the Indemnifying Party shall pay the fees and expenses of one (1) law firm serving as counsel for the Indemnitee in relation to such Third Party Claim. (c) Cooperation. The Indemnitee shall reasonably cooperate with the Indemnifying Party and its legal representatives in the investigation and defense of any Claim. The Indemnifying Party shall keep the Indemnitee informed on a reasonable and timely basis as to the status of such Claim (to the extent the Indemnitee is not participating in the defense of such Claim) and conduct the defense of such Claim in a prudent manner. (d) Settlement. If an Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of a Claim, no compromise or settlement of such Claim may be effected by the Indemnifying Party without the Indemnitee's written consent (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned). Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Indemnitee's consent shall not be required of a settlement where: (i) there is no finding or admission of any violation of law or any violation of the rights of any person and no effect on any other claims that may be made against the Indemnitee; (ii) the sole relief provided is monetary damages that are paid in full by the Indemnifying Party; (iii) the Indemnitee's rights under this Agreement are not adversely affected; and (iv) there is a full release of the Indemnitee from such Claim. If the Indemnifying Party fails to assume defense of a Claim within a reasonable time, the Indemnitee may settle such Claim on such terms as it deems appropriate with the consent of the Indemnifying Party (such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned), and the Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to indemnify the Indemnitee for such settlement as provided in this Article 13. It is understood that only Vyera and CytoDyn may claim indemnification under this Agreement (on its own behalf or on behalf of its Indemnitees), and other Indemnitees may not directly claim indemnity under this Agreement.

13.4 Insurance. Each Party, at its own expense, shall maintain comprehensive general liability, product liability and other appropriate insurance for the activities such Party undertakes pursuant to this Agreement, from reputable and financially secure insurance carriers in a form and at levels consistent with sound business practice and adequate in light of its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance (or evidence of self-insurance) evidencing such coverage to the other Party upon request. Such insurance will not create a limit to a Party's liability with respect to its indemnification obligations under this Article 13 or otherwise. This Section 13.4 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for the period in which the Licensed Product is being Commercialized by or on behalf of Vyera plus six (6) years. Each Party shall provide the other Party with prompt written notice of any cancellation, non-renewal or material change in such insurance that could materially adversely affect the rights of the other Party hereunder, and shall provide such notice within thirty (30) days after any such cancellation, non-renewal or material change.

13.5 Limitation of Liability. EXCEPT FOR A PARTY'S OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS ARTICLE 13, AND ANY BREACH OF ARTICLE 10 (CONFIDENTIALITY), IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY (OR THE OTHER PARTY'S AFFILIATES OR SUBLICENSEES) IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT FOR LOST REVENUE, LOST PROFITS, LOST ROYALTIES, LOST SAVINGS, LOSS OF USE, DAMAGE TO GOODWILL, OR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, PUNITIVE OR INDIRECT DAMAGES IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, INCLUDING CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, OR STRICT LIABILITY, EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN PLACED ON NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. FOR CLARITY AND NOTWITHSTANDING THE PROVISIONS OF THE FIRST SENTENCE OF THIS SECTION 13.5, ROYALTIES AND MILESTONES PAYABLE TO CYTODYN IN CONNECTION WITH VYERA'S COMMERCIALIZATION OF LICENSED PRODUCTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT COULD CONSTITUTE DIRECT DAMAGES TO THE EXTENT AWARDED IN ACCORDANCE WITH ARTICLE 12.

ARTICLE 14 MISCELLANEOUS

14.2 Governing Law. This Agreement and all disputes arising out of or related to this Agreement or any breach hereof shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to any choice of law principles that would result in the application of the laws of any other jurisdiction. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement

14.3 Designation of Affiliates. Each Party may discharge any obligation and exercise any right hereunder through delegation of its obligations or rights to any of its Affiliates. Each Party hereby guarantees the performance by its Affiliates of such Party's obligations under this Agreement, and shall cause its Affiliates to comply with the provisions of this Agreement in connection with such performance. Any breach by a Party's Affiliate of any of such Party's obligations under this Agreement shall be deemed a breach by such Party, and the other Party may proceed directly against such Party without any obligation to first proceed against such Party's Affiliate.

14.4 Relationship of the Parties. It is expressly agreed that CytoDyn, on the one hand, and Vyera, on the other hand, shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency, including for tax purposes. Neither CytoDyn nor Vyera shall have the authority to make any statements, representations or commitments of any kind, or to take any action which shall be binding on the other, without the prior written consent of the other Party to do so. All persons employed by a Party shall be employees of that Party and not of the other Party and all costs and obligations incurred by reason of such employment shall be at the expense of such Party.

14.5 Force Majeure. Both Parties shall be excused from the performance of their obligations under this Agreement to the extent that such performance is prevented by Force Majeure and the nonperforming Party promptly provides notice of the prevention to the other Party. Such excuse shall be continued so long as the condition constituting Force Majeure continues and the nonperforming Party takes reasonable efforts to remove the condition. Notwithstanding the foregoing, a Party shall not be excused from making payments owed hereunder because of a Force Majeure affecting such Party. If a Force Majeure persists for more than [***], then the Parties shall discuss in good faith the modification of the Parties' obligations under this Agreement in order to mitigate the delays caused by such Force Majeure.

14.6 Assignment. Vyera may not assign this Agreement, or any rights or obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of CytoDyn, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed provided that Vyera may assign this Agreement without CytoDyn's consent to an Affiliate or to a successor to substantially all of the business of Vyera to which this Agreement relates. A Change of Control shall be deemed an assignment for purposes of this Agreement. Any permitted successor or assignee of rights and/or obligations permitted hereunder shall, in writing to the other Party, expressly assume performance of such rights and/or obligations. Any permitted assignment shall be binding on the successors of the assigning Party. Any assignment or attempted assignment by Vyera in violation of the terms of this Section 14.6 shall be null, void and of no legal effect. For clarity, nothing in this Agreement shall prohibit Vyera from undergoing any Change of Control, but if Vyera undergoes a Change of Control, it will be subject to Section 2.6. CytoDyn may assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations hereunder, in whole but not in part, to any Third Party not in a materially worse (financially and otherwise) of performing CytoDyn's obligations hereunder without the prior written consent of Vyera (it being understood that any other assignment of this Agreement or any rights or obligations hereunder shall require the prior written consent of Vyera, not to be unreasonably withheld or delayed).

14.7 Severability. If any one (1) or more of the provisions of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction from which no appeal can be or is taken, the provision(s) shall be considered severed from this Agreement and shall not serve to invalidate any remaining provisions hereof. The Parties shall make a good faith effort to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision such that the objectives contemplated by the Parties when entering this Agreement may be realized.

14.8 Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies. 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. The waiver by either Party hereto of any right hereunder or of the failure to perform or of a breach by the other Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any other right hereunder or of any other breach or failure by such other Party whether of a similar nature or otherwise. The rights and remedies provided herein are cumulative and do not exclude any other right or remedy provided by Applicable Law or otherwise available except as expressly set forth herein.

14.9 Further Assurance. Each Party shall duly execute and deliver, or cause to be duly executed and delivered, such further instruments and do and cause to be done such further acts and things, including the filing of such assignments, agreements, documents, and instruments, as may be necessary or as the other Party may reasonably request in connection with this Agreement or to carry out more effectively the provisions and purposes hereof.

14.10 Headings. The headings of each Article and Section in this Agreement have been inserted for convenience of reference only and are not intended to limit or expand on the meaning of the language contained in the particular Article or Section.

14.11 Construction. Except where the context otherwise requires, wherever used, the singular shall include the plural, the plural shall include the singular, and the use of any gender shall be applicable to all genders. Whenever this Agreement refers to a number of days without using a term otherwise defined herein, such number refers to calendar days. The terms including, include, includes or for example shall not limit the generality of any description preceding such term and, as used herein, shall have the same meaning as including, but not limited to, and/or including, without limitation. 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. Each Party represents that it has been represented by legal counsel in connection with this Agreement and acknowledges that it has participated in the drafting hereof. In interpreting and applying the terms and provisions of this Agreement, the Parties agree that no presumption will apply against the Party which drafted such terms and provision.
