Licensee shall submit to the JSC for review and approval prior to use materials proposed to be used in connection with the promotion and other Commercialization of each Licensed Product. If the Parties agree to jointly conduct any specific Commercialization activities for the benefit of a Licensed Product in both Parties’ territories, the Parties shall negotiate and agree on the details of such activities, including allocation of responsibilities, budget and cost sharing. Licensee shall not make any statements in the course of Commercialization of any Licensed Product that are inconsistent with any factual statement made or promotional materials used by or on behalf of Seagen outside the Licensee Territory in connection with Commercialization of such Licensed Product. For clarity, Licensee shall not conduct any Commercialization of any Licensed Product outside the Licensee Territory without Seagen’s express prior written consent.
8.4    Pricing. Without limiting Section 8.2, Licensee shall present to the JSC its proposed pricing for Licensed Products in each Region in the Licensee Territory [***], and thereafter shall provide the JSC detailed updates regarding such pricing discussions and reimbursement matters in the Licensee Territory at each regular meeting of the JSC [***].

Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee shall update the JSC at each regularly scheduled JSC meeting regarding the Commercialization activities with respect to each Licensed Product in the Licensee Territory. Each such update shall be in a form to be agreed by the JSC and shall summarize Licensee’s, its Affiliates’ and Sublicensees’ significant Commercialization activities with respect to each Licensed Product in the Licensee Territory, covering subject matter at a level of detail [***] and sufficient to enable Seagen to understand such activities and to determine Licensee’s compliance with its diligence obligations pursuant to Section 6.1. In addition, Licensee shall make available to Seagen such additional information about its Commercialization activities [***] from time to time.
8.6    Global Branding Strategies; Trademarks. As between the Parties, Seagen (or Genmab as provided for in the Genmab Agreements) shall own and retain all right, title, and interest in and to all trademarks, logos and trade names associated with any Licensed Product worldwide (including trademarks, logos, and trade names in any local language in the Licensee Territory) and will have the sole right to register and maintain all such trademarks, logos and trade names worldwide, and all goodwill derived from the use by Licensee thereof as permitted under this Section 8.6 shall accrue to Seagen or Genmab, as the case may be. In addition, Seagen (and/or Genmab as provided for in the Genmab Agreements) shall have the right and responsibility in formulating global branding strategies for the Licensed Products. Licensee shall reasonably cooperate with Seagen to implement such global branding strategy for the Licensed Products in the Licensee Territory, and shall conduct Commercialization activities in the
35




Licensee Territory in accordance with such global branding strategy. Specifically, Licensee shall only use (pursuant to this Section 8.6), and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees to only use, the trademarks Controlled by Seagen in the Licensee Territory [***] (the “Product Marks”) for the Commercialization of the Licensed Products in the Licensee Territory and in compliance with Applicable Laws. Seagen hereby grants to Licensee, during the Term and subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, a royalty-free, fully paid-up, exclusive license solely to use the then-current Product Marks in Commercializing the Licensed Products in the Field in the Licensee Territory. Licensee shall Commercialize the Licensed Products in the Licensee Territory using the Product Marks in a manner consistent with the global branding strategy for the Licensed Products outside the Licensee Territory.
8.7    Licensed Products Tracking in the Licensee Territory.  Licensee shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and Sublicensees, maintain adequate records to permit the Parties to trace the [***] in the Licensee Territory.
8.8    No Diversion. Each Party hereby covenants and agrees that during the Term, and except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, it shall not (and shall cause its Affiliates and Sublicensees and subcontractors not to), either itself or through a Third Party, develop, use, market, promote, import, export, sell or actively offer for sale the Licensed Products in the other Party’s territory. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, except as mutually agreed or contemplated by the then-current Development Plan or Commercialization Plan, each Party shall not (a) engage in any advertising activities relating to the Licensed Products directed primarily to customers in the other Party’s territory (it being understood that global marketing efforts by Seagen including digital online campaigns that are not territory specific and participation in conferences, congresses or scientific or medical meetings held throughout the world for example would not be “directed primarily” to customers in the other Party’s territory), or (b) actively or intentionally solicit orders from any prospective purchaser located in the other Party’s territory. To the extent permitted by Applicable Laws, including applicable antitrust laws, if a Party receives any order for Licensed Products from a prospective purchaser located in a country or jurisdiction in the other Party’s territory, such Party shall immediately refer that order to the other Party and shall not accept any such order or deliver or tender (or cause to be delivered or tendered) the Licensed Products under such order. If a Party should reasonably know that a customer or distributor is actively engaged itself or through a Third Party in the sale or distribution of the Licensed Products in the other Party’s territory, then such Party shall (i) within [***] of gaining knowledge of such activities, notify the other Party regarding such activities and provide all information available to such Party that the other Party may reasonably request concerning such activities and (ii) use Commercially Reasonable Efforts (including cessation of sales to such customer) necessary to limit such sale or distribution in the other Party’s territory, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties.

(c)    Lack of Patent Protection. If at any time during the Royalty Term with respect to a Licensed Product, there are no Valid Claims under the Seagen Patents and Seagen Manufacturing Patents Covering the making, using, selling, offering for sale or importing of such Licensed Product in a Region, the royalty rate applicable to Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such Region shall be reduced by [***] of the royalty rate that would otherwise be owed on such Net Sales of such Licensed Product in such Region under Section 9.4.

10.3    Exchange Rate; Manner and Place of Payment. All payments hereunder shall be payable in U.S. dollars.

All payments owed under this Agreement shall be made by wire transfer in immediately available funds to a bank and account designated in writing by Seagen, unless otherwise specified in writing by Seagen.
10.4    Taxes.
(a)    Taxes on Income. Except as otherwise provided in this Section 10.4, Licensee shall be solely responsible for the payment of all value added taxes, fees, duties, surcharges, and other deductions or withholding taxes imposed by or on any entity in the Licensee Territory in connection with the payments and activities contemplated hereunder.
(b)    Tax Withholdings. In the event that any withholding tax, fee, duty or surcharge applicable to or assessable in respect of any of the upfront payment, development or sales milestone payments, royalty payments, or any other payments to be made by Licensee to Seagen under this Agreement (collectively, the “License Payments”) is required to be withheld and deducted under Applicable Laws (“Tax Withholdings”), Licensee (or its Affiliate paying on behalf of Licensee) shall make such deduction and withholding and will pay the remaining License Payments to Seagen, subject to the following conditions:
(i)    if the applicable rate of calculating the amount of Tax Withholdings on the portion of License Payments due to [***], then (A) Seagen shall bear the amount of Tax Withholdings that is equal to [***], and (B) Licensee will bear all Tax Withholdings not described in clause (A) (i.e., [***] and the [***]), [***] pursuant to (A)), and shall increase the amount of such payments accordingly to reflect Licensee bearing such amounts (including any increase in respect of such increases in payments (i.e., Seagen will receive no less than [***] of the License Payments after any Tax Withholding). For clarity, Licensee shall bear [***] of amounts of Tax Withholdings in respect of License Payments attributable to [***]; or
(ii)    if the applicable [***], then (A) the amount of Tax Withholdings that Seagen shall bear will remain as [***], and (B) Licensee shall bear all other amounts of Tax Withholdings not described in the foregoing (A), [***].
(c)    Tax Cooperation. Licensee shall make such deduction of Taxes and withholding Tax payments to the applicable taxing authority(ies) in a timely manner and shall promptly provide Seagen with the appropriate proof of payment and relevant receipt(s) with respect to such deduction or withholding. Licensee shall provide Seagen reasonable assistance in order to allow Seagen to obtain the benefit of any present or future treaty against double taxation or refund or reduction in Taxes which may apply to the License Payments. Each Party agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with the other Party in claiming refunds, reductions, or exemptions from such deductions or withholdings under any relevant agreement or treaty that is in effect. Seagen will provide Licensee with any tax forms or other documentation reasonably necessary in order for Licensee not to withhold or to withhold tax at a reduced rate under an applicable bilateral income tax treaty. If the taxes originally paid or otherwise borne by
40




a Party are in whole or in part subsequently determined not to have been chargeable, all reasonably necessary steps will be taken by each Party to obtain a refund of these undue taxes from the applicable Governmental Authority or other fiscal authority and any amount of undue taxes repaid by such authority to the receiving Party will be transferred to the paying Party within [***] of receipt.
(d)    Taxes Resulting From Party’s Action. Notwithstanding Section 10.4, if, solely as a result of any action by either Party (or its assignee pursuant to Section 17.6 of this Agreement), including without limitation, assignment or transfer of this Agreement, change in the residence of such Party for tax purposes, change in the entity making such payment, or failure on the part of such Party to comply with Applicable Laws or filing or record retention requirements (each, a “Withholding Tax Action”), the amount of any tax (including Tax Withholdings, value added tax or other similar tax) is increased, then the Party responsible for such Withholding Tax Action shall bear such additional taxes.
10.5    Blocked Currency. In the event that, by reason of Applicable Law in any country or region, it becomes impossible or illegal, after reasonable efforts by Licensee to do so, for Licensee or its Affiliate to transfer, or have transferred on its behalf, payments owed Seagen hereunder, Licensee will promptly notify Seagen of the conditions preventing such transfer and such payments will be deposited in local currency in the relevant country or region to the credit of Seagen in a recognized banking institution [***].
10.6    Records; Audits. Licensee shall keep, and require its Affiliates and Sublicensees to keep, complete, fair and true books of accounts and records for the purpose of determining the amounts payable to Seagen pursuant to this Agreement.

Seagen shall have the right to cause an independent, certified public accountant reasonably acceptable to Licensee to audit such records to confirm [***]; provided that (a) such audit shall not be more frequent than [***] period, and (b) once such accountant has conducted a review and audit of any records pursuant to this Section 10.6 in respect of any given period, it may not subsequently re-inspect such records with respect to such period, unless, in each case of (a) and (b), for cause. Such audits may be exercised during normal business hours upon reasonable prior written notice to Licensee. Prompt adjustments shall be made by the Parties to reflect the results of such audit. Seagen shall bear the full cost of such audit unless such audit discloses an underpayment by Licensee of more than [***], in which case, Licensee shall bear the cost of such audit and shall promptly remit to Seagen the amount of any underpayment. Any overpayment by Licensee revealed by an audit shall be fully-creditable against future payment owed by Licensee to Seagen (and if no further payments are due, shall be refunded by Seagen [***]).
10.7    Late Payments. In the event that any payment due under this Agreement is not made [***], the payment shall accrue interest from the date due at a rate per annum that is [***]. The payment of such interest shall not limit Seagen from exercising any other rights it may have as a consequence of the lateness of any payment.

For clarity, Solely Owned Other Inventions and Jointly Owned Other Inventions do not include Product Inventions or Platform Inventions, and Solely Owned Other Patents and Jointly Owned Other Patents do not include Product Invention Patents or Platform Invention Patents.
(c)    Disclosures; Cooperation. Each Party shall ensure that each of its Affiliates, (sub)licensees (in the case of Seagen), Sublicensees (in the case of Licensee) and subcontractors under this Agreement has a contractual obligation to disclose to such Party all Data and Inventions generated, invented, discovered, developed, made or otherwise created by them or their employees, agents or independent contractors, and to provide sufficient rights with respect thereto, so that such Party can comply with its obligations under this Section 13.1. With respect to any activities of a Party under this Agreement that are subcontracted to a person that is not an employee of such Party, such Party shall include in the applicable subcontract (i) an assignment to such Party of all of such subcontractor’s rights, title and interest in any Inventions, Data, Know-How generated by subcontractor resulting from such activities; and (ii) to the extent that such subcontractor uses or incorporates its pre-existing intellectual property or improvements thereon in performing such activities, a license to such Party that is sublicensable to the other Party of any such pre-existing intellectual property to the extent reasonably necessary for the other Party and, where Seagen is the other Party Genmab, to exploit such Inventions and Know-How, and Develop and Commercialize the Licensed Compound and Licensed Products in its territory. Each Party shall ensure that any employees or contractors who perform any activities under this Agreement, or who conceive, reduce to practice, discover, develop or otherwise make any Know-How or Inventions by or on behalf of such Party or its Affiliates, (sub)licensees (in the case of Seagen), or Sublicensees (in the case of Licensee) under or in connection with this Agreement agree to and are bound by a written inventor reward and remuneration policy or agreement that is legally sufficient under Applicable Laws, including a specific waiver of pre-emption rights, including, as applicable, Article 847 of the Civil Code of the People’s Republic of China and Article 326 of the PRC Contract Law, such that such employees or contractors shall not have any additional right or claim in or to any Know-How, Inventions, Patents and other intellectual property rights derived from their work other than the reward and remuneration they are entitled to under the inventor reward and remuneration policy or agreement. As between the Parties, each Party shall incur the costs associated with paying all such inventor rewards and
50




remuneration, and shall make, and shall cause its Affiliates, (sub)licensees (in the case of Seagen) and Sublicensees (in the case of Licensee) to make, timely payments to its or their respective employees and contractors in accordance with its or their respective inventor reward and remuneration policy or agreement with its employees for such rewards and remuneration.

In addition, Licensee will use diligent, good faith efforts to obtain the present assignments set forth in Section 2.2(c), and Section 13.1(c) from subcontractors that are hospitals or clinical trial sites. If, after using such diligent, good faith efforts, Licensee is unable to obtain such present assignment from such hospitals or clinical trial sites, then Licensee will use diligent, good faith efforts to obtain an exclusive, royalty-free, fully paid-up, perpetual, irrevocable, worldwide, transferable, and sublicensable (through multiple tiers) license back to Licensee under the relevant Data, Inventions and Know-How. If, after using such diligent, good faith efforts, Licensee is unable to obtain such license from such hospitals or clinical trial sites, then (1) Licensee will provide prompt written notice to Seagen, (2) the Parties will discuss in good faith the nature of the intellectual property that may be generated by such subcontractor and how engaging such Sublicensee or subcontractor may affect the Parties’ intellectual property, and (3) Licensee will not engage such subcontractor unless Seagen approves such engagement in writing.

request of Seagen, remain in full force and effect, provided that (A) such Sublicensee is not then in breach of its sublicense agreement (and, in the case of termination by Seagen for breach by Licensee, that such Sublicensee and any further sublicensees did not cause the breach that gave rise to the termination by Seagen); and (B) and such Sublicensee agrees that Seagen shall assume the rights, but not the obligations, of Licensee under the terms and conditions of such sublicense agreement.
(d)    Confidential Information. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement in its entirety, except to the extent that a Party retains a license from the other Party as provided in this Article 14, each Party shall promptly return to the other Party, or delete or destroy, all relevant records and materials in such Party’s possession or control containing Confidential Information of the other Party; provided that such Party may keep one copy of such materials for archival purposes only subject to continuing confidentiality obligations under Article 11.
14.4    Accrued Obligations; Survival. Neither expiration nor any termination of this Agreement shall relieve either Party of any obligation or liability accruing prior to such expiration or termination, nor shall expiration or any termination of this Agreement preclude either Party from pursuing all rights and remedies it may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity, with respect to breach of this Agreement. In addition, the Parties’ rights and obligations under Sections 2.2(b) and 2.2(d), 2.3, 2.4, 4.4(f), 4.4(g), 4.4(h), 4.4(i), 4.4(j), 4.5, 5.3, 5.4, 5.5, 5.8, 8.6 (to the extent related to ownership and management of intellectual property and goodwill), 10.1 (solely with respect to payments accrued prior to expiration or termination), 10.3, 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 12.6, 12.7, 14.3, 14.4, and 14.5  and Articles 1, 9 (solely with respect to payments accrued prior to expiration or termination), 11 (for the time period as set forth in Section 11.1), 13, 15, 16 and 17 of this Agreement shall survive expiration or any termination of this Agreement.
14.5    Rights Upon Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of Title 11 of the United States Code and other similar laws in any jurisdiction outside the U.S. (collectively, the “Bankruptcy Laws”), licenses of rights to be “intellectual property” as defined under the Bankruptcy Laws. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws then, unless and until this Agreement is rejected as provided in such Bankruptcy Laws, such Party (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a trustee) shall perform all of the obligations provided in this Agreement to be performed by such Party. If a case is commenced during the Term by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws, this Agreement is rejected as provided in the Bankruptcy Laws and the other Party elects to retain its rights hereunder as provided in the Bankruptcy Laws, then the Party subject to such case under the Bankruptcy Laws (in any capacity, including debtor-in-possession) and its successors and assigns (including a Title 11 trustee), shall provide to the other Party copies of all Know-How and other information necessary for such other Party to prosecute, maintain and enjoy its rights under the terms of this Agreement promptly upon such other Party’s written request therefor. All rights, powers and remedies of the non-bankrupt Party as provided herein are in addition to and not in substitution for any and all other rights, powers and remedies now or hereafter existing at law or in equity (including, without limitation, the Bankruptcy Laws) in the event of the commencement of a case by or against a Party under the Bankruptcy Laws.

ARTICLE 15
INDEMNIFICATION
15.1    Indemnification of Seagen. Licensee shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Seagen and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Seagen Indemnitees”) from and against any and all losses, damages, liabilities, expenses and costs, including reasonable legal expense and attorneys’ fees (“Losses”), incurred by any Seagen Indemnitee as a result of any claims, demands, actions, suits or proceedings brought by a Third Party (“Third Party Claims”) arising directly or indirectly out of: (a) the practice by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees of the License; (b) the research, Development, Manufacture or have Manufactured (in the event Seagen grants Licensee the right to Manufacture or have Manufactured in the Licensee Territory), use, handling, storage, Commercialization or other disposition of the Licensed Compound or the Licensed Products by Licensee or its Affiliates or Sublicensees in the Field in the Licensee Territory; (c) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Licensee Indemnitee; or (d) any breach of any representations, warranties or covenants by Licensee under this Agreement; except, in each case, to the extent such Third Party Claims fall within the scope of the indemnification obligations of Seagen set forth in Section 15.2.
15.2    Indemnification of Licensee. Seagen shall indemnify and hold harmless each of Licensee and its Affiliates and their respective directors, officers, employees, consultants, agents and successors and assigns of any of the foregoing (the “Licensee Indemnitees”), from and against any and all Losses incurred by any Licensee Indemnitee as a result of any Third Party Claims arising directly or indirectly out of: (a) the practice by Seagen or its Affiliates of the license granted to Seagen under Section 2.5; (b) the Development, Manufacture, use, handling, storage, sale or other disposition of the Licensed Compound or Licensed Products by Seagen or its Affiliates outside the Licensee Territory or in the Licensee Territory outside of the Field; (c) the negligence or willful misconduct of any Seagen Indemnitee; or (d) any breach of any representations, warranties or covenants by Seagen under this Agreement; except, in each case, to the extent such Third Party Claims fall within the scope of the indemnification obligations of Licensee set forth in Section 15.1.
15.3    Procedure. If any Seagen Indemnitee or Licensee Indemnitee intends to claim indemnification under this Article 15 (the “Indemnitee”), Seagen or Licensee, as the case may be, shall promptly notify the indemnifying Party (the “Indemnitor”) in writing of any Third Party Claim, in respect of which the Indemnitee intends to claim such indemnification, and the Indemnitor shall have sole control of the defense and/or settlement thereof. The indemnity arrangement in this Article 15 shall not apply to amounts paid in settlement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim, if such settlement is effected without the consent of the Indemnitor, which consent shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably. The failure to deliver written notice to the Indemnitor within a reasonable time after the commencement of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim shall only relieve the Indemnitor of its indemnification obligations under this Article 15 if and to the extent the Indemnitor is actually prejudiced thereby. Seagen or Licensee, as the case may be, and the Indemnitee shall cooperate fully with the Indemnitor and its legal representatives in the investigation of any action with respect to a Third Party Claim covered by these indemnification provisions. The Indemnitor shall not settle any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnitee if the settlement is reasonably expected to: (a) result in or impose any obligation (including any payment obligation) on the Indemnitee, or (b) result in any admission of wrong-doing or fault by the Indemnitee.
58




15.4    Insurance. Each Party, at its own expense, shall maintain product liability and other appropriate insurance (or self-insure) in an amount consistent with sound business practice and reasonable in light of its obligations under this Agreement during the Term. Each Party shall provide a certificate of insurance (or evidence of self-insurance) evidencing such coverage to the other Party upon request.
15.5    Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF ANY NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, NOTHING IN THIS SECTION 15.5 IS INTENDED TO OR SHALL LIMIT OR RESTRICT THE INDEMNIFICATION RIGHTS OR OBLIGATIONS OF ANY PARTY UNDER SECTION 15.1 OR 15.2, OR DAMAGES AVAILABLE FOR A PARTY’S BREACH OF ITS CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS IN ARTICLE 11 OR A PARTY’S BREACH OF SECTION 2.7.

ARTICLE 16
DISPUTE RESOLUTION
16.1    Disputes. Subject to Section 16.3, upon the written request of either Party to the other Party, any claim, dispute, or controversy as to the breach, enforcement, interpretation or validity of this Agreement (a “Dispute”) will be referred to the Executive Officers for attempted resolution. In the event such executives are unable to resolve such Dispute within [***] after the initial written request, then, upon the written demand of either Party and subject to Section 16.3 below, the Dispute shall be finally resolved by binding arbitration administered by the International Chamber of Commerce (“ICC”) (or any successor entity thereto) pursuant to its arbitration rules and procedures then in effect (the “Rules”), as modified by Section 16.2 below. For clarity, any decisions that are subject to the final decision-making authority of a Party (or mutual agreement of the Parties, as applicable), or the JSC in each case as expressly set forth in this Agreement, will not be subject to the provisions of this Article so long as such decisions are made in accordance with this Agreement.
16.2    Arbitration.
(a)    Procedure. The arbitration shall be conducted by a panel of three arbitrators experienced in the business of pharmaceuticals (including biologicals). If the issues in dispute involve scientific, technical or commercial matters, the arbitrators chosen hereunder shall engage experts having educational training or industry experience sufficient to demonstrate a reasonable level of relevant scientific, medical and industry knowledge, as necessary to resolve the dispute. Within [***] after initiation of arbitration, each of the Parties shall select one arbitrator and a third arbitrator will be mutually agreed upon. If a Party fails to select an arbitrator or if the Parties are unable or fail to agree upon the third arbitrator within such [***] period, any unselected arbitrator or third arbitrator, as the case may be, shall be appointed in accordance with the Rules. The place of arbitration shall be San Francisco, California, and all proceedings and communications shall be in English. Except to the extent necessary to confirm an award or as may be required by law, neither a Party nor the arbitrators may disclose the existence, content, or results of arbitration without the prior written consent of both Parties. In no event shall an
59




arbitration be initiated after the date when commencement of a legal or equitable proceeding based on the dispute, controversy or claim would be barred by the applicable New York statute of limitations.
(b)    Arbitrators’ Award. Prior to the arbitrators being selected, either Party, without waiving any remedy under this Agreement, may seek from any court having jurisdiction any temporary injunctive or provisional relief necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party until final resolution of the issue by the arbitrator or other resolution of the controversy between the Parties. Once the arbitrators have been selected, either Party may apply to the arbitrators for interim injunctive relief until the arbitration award is rendered or the controversy is otherwise resolved, and either Party may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to enforce interim injunctive relief granted by the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall, within [***] after the conclusion of the arbitration hearing, issue a written award and statement of decision describing the essential findings and conclusions on which the award is based, including the calculation of any damages awarded. The decision or award rendered by the arbitrators shall be final and non-appealable, and judgment may be entered upon it in any court of competent jurisdiction. The arbitrators shall be authorized to award compensatory damages, but shall not be authorized (i) to award non-economic damages, (ii) to award punitive damages or any other damages expressly excluded under this Agreement, or (iii) to reform, modify or materially change this Agreement or any other agreements contemplated hereunder; provided, however, that the damage limitations described in subsections (i) and (ii) of this sentence will not apply if such damages are statutorily imposed.
(c)    Costs. Each Party shall bear its own attorney’s fees, costs, and disbursements arising out of the arbitration, and shall pay an equal share of the fees and costs of the arbitrators; provided, however, that the arbitrators shall be authorized to determine whether a Party is the prevailing party, and if so, to award to that prevailing party reimbursement for any or all of its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and disbursements (including, for example, expert witness fees and expenses, photocopy charges, travel expenses, etc.), and/or the fees and costs of the ICC and the arbitrator.
16.3    Court Actions. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall deny either Party the right to bring an action in any court of competent jurisdiction to resolve any dispute, controversy or claim that concerns (a) the validity, enforceability or infringement of any Patents or other intellectual property rights, or (b) any antitrust, anti-monopoly or competition law or regulation, whether or not statutory, and no such claim shall be subject to arbitration as a Dispute pursuant to Section 16.2.

17.4    Relationship Between the Parties. The Parties’ relationship, as established by this Agreement, is solely that of independent contractors. This Agreement does not create any partnership, joint venture or similar business relationship or legal entity of any type between the Parties.

17.5    Non-Waiver. The failure of a Party to insist upon strict performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right arising out of this Agreement shall neither impair that provision or right nor constitute a waiver of that provision or right, in whole or in part, in that instance or in any other instance. Any waiver by a Party of a particular provision or right shall be in writing, shall be as to a particular matter and, if applicable, for a particular period of time and shall be signed by such Party.

The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the successors and permitted assigns of the Parties, and the name of a Party appearing herein will be deemed to include the name of such Party’s successors and permitted assigns to the extent necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 17.6. Any assignment not in accordance with this Agreement shall be void.
17.7    Third Party Beneficiaries.

17.8    Severability. If, for any reason, any part of this Agreement is adjudicated invalid, unenforceable or illegal by a court of competent jurisdiction, such adjudication shall not affect or impair, in whole or in part, the validity, enforceability or legality of any remaining portions of this Agreement. All remaining portions shall remain in full force and effect as if the original Agreement had been executed without the invalidated, unenforceable or illegal part. The Parties shall use their commercially reasonable efforts to replace the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) with valid, legal and enforceable provision(s) in a way that, to the extent practicable and legally permissible, implements the original intent of the Parties.
