subject to the conditions set out in this Agreement.

representatives, except that Licensee may not assign this Agreement nor any right granted
hereunder, in whole or in part, without Licensor’s prior written consent. For purposes of this
Agreement, a change of control by and of Licensee shall be deemed an assignment and Licensor’s
prior written consent is required to assign this Agreement, such consent not to be unreasonably
withheld; provided, however, that Licensor specifically reserves the right to withhold consent if
the party assuming control of the Licensee is involved in a dispute with the Licensor.

     10.4 GOVERNING LAW; SEVERABILITY. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State
of Delaware U.S.A. If any provisions of the Agreement or the application of any such provision
shall be held to be contrary to law, the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in
full force and effect.

     10.5 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. The parties acknowledge that this Agreement expresses their entire
understanding and agreement, and that there have been no warranties, representations, covenants of
understandings made by either party to the other except such as are expressly set forth herein.
