refund or rebate any amounts whatsoever to Distributor (Licensor being entitled
to retain such amounts by way of partial liquidated damages).

    

    ASSIGNMENT OF DISTRIBUTION
RIGHTS:  Distributor has the right to sub license, in whole or
in part the distribution rights granted herein by Licensor to third parties
within the territory, provided, however, that such sub-licensee(s) shall assume
in writing all the terms and obligations of this Agreement, and to this end
(a) Distributor shall

a bona fide laboratory in the English language, and Licensor shall have 30 days
in which to replace master. If no detailed notice of faulty master is given to
Licensor within 30 days, then master shall automatically be deemed technically
accepted, and no refund shall be payable with respect to the amounts set forth
hereunder.   If Licensor cannot deliver a technically acceptable
master, Licensor may replace Picture with another comparable Picture, with the
approval of Distributor, or Licensor must refund the allocated License
