(a) Termination, relinquishment or expiration of this Agreement for any reason shall be without prejudice to any rights that shall have accrued to the benefit of any Party prior to such termination, relinquishment or expiration. Such termination, relinquishment or expiration shall not relieve any Party from obligations which are expressly indicated to survive termination of this Agreement.

(b) All of the Parties’ rights and obligations under, and/or the provisions contained in, Sections 5, 6, 7, 8.4, 10, 11.6, 11.8, 11.13, and 11.17 shall survive expiration, termination or relinquishment of this Agreement.

9. Force Majeure.

(a) No Party shall be held liable or responsible to the other Parties nor be deemed to be in default under, or in breach of any provision of, this Agreement for failure or delay in fulfilling or performing any obligation of this Agreement when such failure or delay is due to force majeure, and without the fault or negligence of the Party so failing or delaying. For purposes of this Agreement, force majeure is defined as causes beyond the control of the Party, including, without limitation, acts of God; acts, regulations, or laws of any government; war;

civil commotion; destruction of production facilities or materials by fire, flood, earthquake, explosion or storm; labor disturbances; epidemic; and failure of public utilities or common carriers. In such event TG or CFFT, as the case may be, shall immediately notify the other Parties of such inability and of the period for which such inability is expected to continue. The Party giving such notice shall thereupon be excused from such of its obligations under this Agreement as it is thereby disabled from performing for so long as it is so disabled. To the extent possible, each Party shall use reasonable efforts to minimize the duration of any force majeure.

10. Dispute Resolution.

10.1 The Parties recognize that disputes as to certain matters may from time to time arise during the term of this Agreement which relate to any Party’s rights and/or obligations hereunder. If the Parties cannot resolve any such dispute within [*] after notice of a dispute from one Party, either Party may, by notice to the other in accordance with Section 11.6, have such dispute referred to the Chief Executive Officer of TG, or such other person holding a similar position as designated by TG from time to time and the Chief Executive Officer of CFFT, or such other person holding a similar position as designated by CFFT from time to time (such officers collectively, the “Executive Officers”). The Executive Officers shall meet promptly to negotiate in good faith the matter referred and to determine a resolution. During such period of negotiations, any applicable time periods under this Agreement shall be tolled. If the Executive Officers are unable to determine a resolution in a timely manner, which shall in no case be more than [*] after the matter was referred to them, the matter may be resolved through arbitration in accordance with the arbitration provisions set forth in Section 10.2, upon notice by a Party on the other disputing Party specifically requesting such arbitration.

Confidential treatment requested.

10.2 Where a Party has served a written notice upon the other requesting binding arbitration of a dispute pursuant to this Section 10.2, any such arbitration shall be held in Washington, D.C. and its environs, according to the Commercial Arbitration Rules (the “Rules”) of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA”). The arbitration shall be conducted by one arbitrator who is knowledgeable in the subject matter which is at issue in the dispute and who is selected by mutual agreement of the Parties or, failing such agreement, shall be selected according to the Rules. The Parties shall have such discovery rights as the arbitrator may allow, but in no event broader than that discovery permitted under the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. In conducting the arbitration, the arbitrator shall apply the Delaware Rules of Evidence and shall be able to decree any and all relief [*]. The arbitrator shall also be able to award [*] damages but shall not award any other [*]. The reasonable fees and expenses of the arbitrators, along with the reasonable legal fees and expenses of the Parties (including all expert witness fees and expenses), the fees and expenses of a court reporter, and any expenses for a hearing room, shall be paid as follows: If the arbitrators rule in favor of one Party on all disputed issues in the arbitration, the losing Party shall pay 100% of such fees and expenses; if the arbitrators rule in favor of one Party on some issues and the other Party on other issues, the arbitrators shall issue with the rulings a written determination as to how such fees and expenses shall be allocated between the Parties. The arbitrators shall allocate fees and expenses in a way that bears a reasonable relationship to the outcome of the arbitration, with the Party prevailing on more issues, or on issues of greater value or gravity, recovering a relatively larger share of its legal fees and expenses. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and may be entered, sued on or enforced by the Party in whose favor it runs in any court of competent jurisdiction at the option of such Party. Whether a claim, dispute or other matter in question would be barred by the

applicable statute of limitations, which statute of limitations also shall apply to any claim or disputes subject to arbitration under this Section, shall be determined by binding arbitration pursuant to this Section 10.2.

11. Miscellaneous.

11.1 Relationship of Parties. Nothing in this Agreement is intended or shall be deemed to constitute a partnership, agency, employer-employee or joint venture relationship between the Parties.

Neither Party shall be entitled to assign its rights or delegate its obligations hereunder without the express written consent of the other Party hereto, except that (A) CFFT may assign its right to receive payments under this Agreement to any Third Party upon [*] prior written notice to TG; and (B) either Party may assign its rights and transfer its duties hereunder to an Affiliate or to any successor to all or substantially all of its business (or that portion thereof to which this Agreement relates) or in the event of merger, consolidation or involvement in a similar transaction. No assignment and transfer shall be valid or effective unless done in accordance with this Section 11.2 and unless and until the assignee/transferee shall agree in writing to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.

11.3 Books and Records. Any books and records to be maintained under this Agreement by a Party or its Affiliates or sublicensees shall be maintained in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles, consistently applied, except that the same need not be audited.

11.9 Waiver. A waiver by any Party of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement in any instance shall not be deemed or construed to be a waiver of such term or condition for the future, or of any subsequent breach hereof.

11.11 Severability. When possible, each provision of this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any provision of this Agreement is held to be prohibited by or invalid under applicable law, such provision will be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or invalidity, without invalidating the remainder of this Agreement.

11.17 Construction of Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement represent the results of negotiations between the Parties and their representatives, each of which has been represented by counsel of its own choosing, and neither of which has acted under duress or compulsion, whether legal, economic or otherwise. Accordingly, the terms and provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted and construed in accordance with their usual

and customary meanings, and each of the Parties hereto hereby waives the application in connection with the interpretation and construction of this Agreement of any rule of law to the effect that ambiguous or conflicting terms or provisions contained in this Agreement shall be interpreted or construed against the Party whose attorney prepared the executed draft or any earlier draft of this Agreement.

This Agreement may be signed in counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signature of more than one Party, and each and every one of which shall be deemed an original, notwithstanding variations in format or file designation which may result from the electronic transmission, storage and printing of copies of this Agreement from separate computers or printers. Facsimile signatures shall be treated as original signatures.
