valid, unless contained in a single written document signed by both parties.

connection with the sale or transfer of substantially all or that party’s business
relating to Licensed Products, provided that prompt written notice of such assignment or
transfer is provided to the other party. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties
hereto and their respective subsidiaries, affiliates, heirs, legal representatives,
successors and assigns.

     H. The headings in this Agreement are intended for convenience only, and shall not be
used to interpret the meaning of this Agreement or to determine the rights of the
parties.

spirit of this Agreement.
