Licensee shall not
assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise
transfer any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each
case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law, or otherwise,
without Licensor's prior written consent, which consent Licensor may give or
withhold in its sole discretion. For purposes of the preceding sentence, and
without limiting its generality, any merger, consolidation, or reorganization
involving Licensee (regardless of whether Licensee is a surviving or
disappearing entity) will be deemed to be a transfer of rights, obligations, or
performance under this Agreement for which Licensor's prior written consent is
required. No delegation or other transfer will relieve Licensee of any of its
obligations or performance under this Agreement. Any purported assignment,
delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section 16(e) is void. Licensor
may freely assign or otherwise transfer all or any of its rights, or delegate
or otherwise transfer all or any of its obligations or performance, under this
Agreement without Licensee's consent. This Agreement is binding upon and inures
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors
and assigns.
This Agreement is for
the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or
shall confer on any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit, or
remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.
This Agreement may only
be amended, modified, or supplemented by an agreement in writing signed by each
party hereto. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof shall be
effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so
waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to
exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power, or privilege
arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof;
nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or
privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the
exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege.
If any term or
provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any
jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect
any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render
unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction.
For purposes of this
Agreement, (a) the words "include," "includes," and
"including" shall be deemed to be followed by the words "without
limitation"; (b) the word "or" is not exclusive; and (c) the
words "herein," "hereof," "hereby,"
"hereto," and "hereunder" refer to this Agreement as a
whole.

construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or
interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any
instrument to be drafted. The Order Form referred to herein shall be construed
with, and as an integral part of, this Agreement to the same extent as if they
were set forth verbatim herein.
