The matters described in this Agreement are intended to be binding on each of the Parties, and this Agreement constitutes a complete statement of the matters described herein. Upon the execution of this Agreement by the Parties, the matters described herein will constitute legally binding and enforceable covenants and agreements of the Parties, which are given in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants hereinafter contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which each Party hereby acknowledges.

The Definitive Agreement will incorporate the terms and conditions of this Agreement and such other terms and conditions as may be agreed to by the Parties, and will contain representations, warranties and covenants customary for a transaction of the nature and type contemplated herein; provided that, until the Definitive Agreement is executed and delivered, this Agreement will exist and continue in full force and effect, unless terminated in accordance with the terms set out herein.
