Licensee agrees to work with Licensor to market and Label the Licensed Product consistent with all applicable regulatory Label Claims. Licensee shall not, and shall cause its Affiliates and sublicensees not, to make any representations or warranties relating to the Licensed Product except for those representations contained in this Agreement.

Licensee will pay Licensor a fee of U.S.$[___] to cover the cost of label design and printing and to ensure such labelling complies with U.S. law. Subsequent design changes whether due to changes in marketing or changes in legal compliance may incur additional fees. If Licensor determines the label needs to be modified for legal reasons whether it is a change in law or a change in other situations such as a change in the U.S. regulatory clearances, Licensor shall charge Licensee the actual costs of changing such label.

4.03 Neither Licensee nor any of its Affiliates, either directly or through Third Parties, will knowingly supply Licensed Products to any customer outside the Field or outside the Territory or to any customer in the Territory for resale outside the Territory, unless permitted by the Asset Purchase Agreement.

13.09 Applicable Law and Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the internal laws of the State of Delaware applicable to agreements entered into and performed entirely therein by residents thereof, without regarding to any provisions relating to choice of laws among different jurisdictions. Each of the Parties irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement brought by any other party or its successors or assigns shall be brought and determined in the Delaware Court of Chancery and any state appellate court therefrom within the State of Delaware (unless the Delaware Court of Chancery shall decline to accept jurisdiction over a particular matter, in which case, in any federal court within the State of Delaware), and each of the parties hereby irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of the aforesaid courts for itself and with respect to its property, generally and unconditionally, with regard to any such action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement. Each of the parties agrees not to commence any action, suit or proceeding relating thereto except in the courts described above in Delaware, other than actions in any court of competent jurisdiction to enforce any judgment, decree or award rendered by any such court in Delaware as described herein. Each of the parties further agrees that notice as provided herein shall constitute sufficient service of process and the parties further waive any argument that such service is insufficient. Each of the parties hereby irrevocably and unconditionally waives, and agrees not to assert, by way of motion or as a defense, counterclaim or otherwise, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, (a) any claim that it is not personally subject to the jurisdiction of the courts in Delaware as described herein for any reason, (b) that it or its property is exempt or immune from jurisdiction of any such court or from any legal process commenced in such courts (whether through service of notice, attachment prior to judgment, attachment in aid of execution of judgment, execution of judgment or otherwise) and (c) that (i) the suit, action or proceeding in any such court is brought in an inconvenient forum, (ii) the venue of such suit, action or proceeding is improper, or (iii) this Agreement, or the subject matter hereof, may not be enforced in or by such courts.

13.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in four counterparts, in original all of which shall be considered one and the same agreement, and all of which shall become effective when one or more such counterparts have been signed by each of the Parties and delivered to the other Party.

13.11 Expenses. Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the Parties shall each bear their own legal fees, accounting fees and other costs and expenses with respect to the negotiation, execution and the delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transaction hereunder.

13.12 Cost of Litigation. If any legal action or other proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement or because of an alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby, the successful or prevailing Party or Parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and other costs incurred in connection with such action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which it or they may be entitled.

13.13 No Presumption Against Drafter. The Parties agree understand and agree that (i) this Agreement and the Ancillary Agreements are freely negotiated by both Parties, and (ii) in any controversy, dispute or contest over the meaning, interpretation, validity or enforceability of this Agreement or any Ancillary Agreement or any of its or their terms or conditions, there shall be no inference, presumption or conclusion drawn against either Party by virtue of that Party having drafted this Agreement or any portion thereof.
