20. Confidentiality.

20.1 Confidential Information. As used in this Settlement Agreement, the term “Confidential Information” means all secret, confidential or proprietary information or data, whether provided in written, oral, graphic, video, computer, electronic or other form, provided pursuant to this Settlement Agreement or generated pursuant to this Settlement Agreement by one Party or its Affiliates (the “Disclosing Party”) to the other Party or its Affiliates (the “Receiving Party”), including but not limited to, information relating to the Disclosing Party’s existing or proposed research, development efforts, patent applications, business or products, and any other materials that have not been made available by the Disclosing Party to the general public. Confidential Information shall not include any information or materials that:

     (a) were already known to the Receiving Party (other than under an obligation of confidentiality), at the time of disclosure by the Disclosing Party, to the extent such Receiving Party has documentary evidence to that effect;

     (b) were generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of disclosure thereof to the Receiving Party;

     (c) became generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain after disclosure or development thereof, as the case may be, other than through any act or omission of a Party in breach of such Party’s confidentiality obligations under this Settlement Agreement;

     (d) were disclosed to a Party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality, by a third party who had no obligation to the Disclosing Party not to disclose such information to others; or

     (e) were independently discovered or developed by or on behalf of the Receiving Party without the use of the Confidential Information belonging to the other Party, to the extent such Receiving Party has documentary evidence to that effect.

     20.2. Confidentiality Obligations. Each of ▇▇▇▇ and Shire shall keep confidential all Confidential Information of the other Party with the same degree of care it maintains the confidentiality of its own Confidential Information but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Neither Party shall use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than in performance of this Settlement Agreement or disclose the same to any other Person other than to such of its and its Affiliates’ directors, managers, employees, independent contractors, agents or consultants who are bound to confidentiality restrictions consistent with the terms herein and who have a need to know such Confidential Information to implement the terms of this Settlement Agreement or enforce its rights under this Settlement Agreement. Upon termination of this Settlement Agreement, the Receiving Party shall return or destroy all documents, tapes or other media containing Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party that remain in the possession of the Receiving Party and its Affiliates or their directors, managers, employees, independent contractors, agents or consultants, except that the Receiving Party may keep one copy of the Confidential Information in the legal department files of the Receiving Party, solely for archival purposes. Such archival copy shall continue to be subject to the provisions of this Section 20.

     20.3. Permitted Disclosure and Use. Notwithstanding Section 20.2, a Party may disclose Confidential Information belonging to the other Party only to the extent such disclosure is reasonably necessary to: (a) obtain Regulatory Approval to the extent such disclosure is made to a Governmental Authority; (b) comply with or enforce any of the

provisions of this Settlement Agreement; (c) comply with Laws; or (d) comply with applicable stock exchange regulations. If a Party deems it necessary to disclose Confidential Information of the other Party pursuant to this Section 20.3, such Party shall give reasonable advance notice of such disclosure to the other Party to permit such other Party sufficient opportunity to object to such disclosure or to take measures to ensure confidential treatment of such information. In addition, notwithstanding Section 20.2, the Parties shall cooperate to prepare standardized public responses to anticipated inquiries from the public, press, stockholders, investors and/or analysts with respect to the activities hereunder. Despite the foregoing, each Party agrees that the other Party is free to disclose this Settlement Agreement in its entirety to the United States Federal Trade Commission and the United States Department of Justice, or to any court with jurisdiction over the litigations settled under this Settlement Agreement.

      20.4. Unauthorized Disclosure. The Receiving Party acknowledges and agrees that the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party constitutes proprietary information and trade secrets valuable to the Disclosing Party, and that the unauthorized use, loss or outside disclosure of such Confidential Information shall be presumed to cause irreparable injury to the Disclosing Party.

      20.5. Notification. The Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party promptly upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information, and shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party in any reasonably requested fashion to assist the Disclosing Party to regain possession of such Confidential Information and to prevent its further unauthorized use or disclosure. The Receiving Party acknowledges that monetary damages may not be a sufficient remedy for unauthorized disclosure of Confidential Information and that the Disclosing Party may be entitled, without waiving other rights or remedies, to such injunctive or equitable relief as may be deemed proper by a court of competent jurisdiction in the event of such unauthorized disclosure.

      20.6. Confidentiality of this Settlement Agreement. The terms of this Settlement Agreement shall be Confidential Information of each Party and, as such, shall be subject to the provisions of this Section 20.

      20.7. Terms not defined in this Section 20 shall have the meaning given to such terms in the License Agreement.

21. In the event that any of the provisions of this Settlement Agreement shall be held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, such provisions shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Settlement Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect. This Settlement Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to the conflicts of law provisions thereof. This Settlement Agreement supersedes all prior discussions and writings and constitutes

the entire agreement between the Parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. No waiver or modification of this Settlement Agreement will be binding upon either Party unless made in writing and signed by a duly authorized representative of such Party and no failure or delay in enforcing any right will be deemed a waiver. Notices hereunder will be effective only if in writing and upon receipt if delivered personally or by overnight mail carrier or fax, or three (3) days after deposit in the U.S. mail, first class postage prepaid. The prevailing Party in any action to enforce this Settlement Agreement shall be entitled to costs and fees (including attorneys’ fees and expert witness fees) incurred in connection with such action. The individual executing this Settlement Agreement on behalf of a corporation or other legal entity personally represents that he or she is duly authorized to execute this Settlement Agreement on behalf of such entity and that this Settlement Agreement is binding upon such entity. In making and performing this Settlement Agreement, the Parties are acting and shall act as independent contractors. Nothing in this Settlement Agreement shall be deemed to create an agency, joint venture or partnership relationship between the Parties hereto. This Settlement Agreement shall become binding when any one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, bears the signatures of each of the Parties hereto. This Settlement Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts (including facsimile counterparts), each of which shall be an original as against a Party whose signature appears thereon, but all of which taken together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Except to the extent permitted under the Authorization and License, neither ▇▇▇▇ nor any of its Affiliates shall: (a) Market any Generic Equivalent that infringes the Adderall XR Intellectual Property or (b) assist or enable any third party to Market, or otherwise contract with any Third Party regarding the Marketing of, any Generic Equivalent (other than as permitted in Section 8.1) that infringes the Adderall XR Intellectual Property. In the event that during the Term of this Agreement ▇▇▇▇ challenges the validity or enforceability of any of U.S. Patents 6,322,819, 6,605,300, and 6,913,768 or any reissue thereof or, except as required by Law, otherwise assists or enables or participates with any Third Party to challenge the validity or enforceability of any of the foregoing, Shire shall be free to terminate this Agreement and all obligations provided herein immediately upon written notice to ▇▇▇▇.

4. Authorized Generic

4.1. In the event a Third Party, without any cooperation or assistance from ▇▇▇▇, Markets a Generic Equivalent in the Territory prior to the License Effective Date, and Shire elects, in its sole discretion, to Market or have Marketed a Generic Product to compete with such Third Party prior to the License Effective Date, then Shire shall appoint ▇▇▇▇ as the exclusive (even as to Shire [*]) distributor of the Generic Product for a period of at least [*] following the launch of the Generic Product by ▇▇▇▇, and as a non-exclusive authorized distributor of the Generic Product thereafter. In the event of such election and appointment by Shire, ▇▇▇▇ shall have the option, in its sole discretion, to Market AG Product or ▇▇▇▇ Product. Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 9.1, ▇▇▇▇ shall pay Shire a royalty of [*] during any period prior to the License Effective Date in which ▇▇▇▇ is exclusively authorized to Market Generic Product under this Section 4.1. However, this royalty under Section 4.1 shall be [*] if there are two or more Third Parties in addition to ▇▇▇▇ Marketing a Generic Product.

4.2. [*]. Should Shire: (i) [*], (ii) Market the [*], and (iii) choose, in Shire’s sole discretion, to Market or authorize a Third Party to Market [*] then Shire agrees that it shall inform ▇▇▇▇ of such decision and shall afford ▇▇▇▇ the opportunity, at ▇▇▇▇’▇ discretion, to exclusively [*]. ▇▇▇▇ shall notify Shire within [*] of notice of Shire’s decision to Market such AG New Product of ▇▇▇▇’▇ decision as to whether it desires to Market the [*]. If ▇▇▇▇ so notifies Shire of its desire to Market the [*], Shire and ▇▇▇▇ shall negotiate in good faith an agreement with respect to such [*], such agreement to be on terms similar to the terms contained in this Agreement, except that Shire and ▇▇▇▇ shall share the [*] from the sale of such [*] to each Party. For purposes of clarity, Shire is under no obligation to choose to Market [*] and may do so in its sole discretion.

5. Supply of AG Product; Forecasts; Purchase Orders

5.1. If ▇▇▇▇ believes in good faith that it will be unable to obtain a final marketing approval for the ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇ before the License Effective Date, then ▇▇▇▇ may elect by providing at least [*] prior written notice to Shire to have Shire supply AG Product to ▇▇▇▇ for sale in the Territory from and after the applicable License Effective Date subject to all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including this Section 5. Shire shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to obtain any required approvals for sale of AG Product from the FDA pursuant to a labeling supplement to the NDA.

5.2. Subject to the terms, conditions and limitations hereof, Shire agrees to supply AG Product to ▇▇▇▇ for Marketing pursuant to Section 4 and in

Shire shall provide current [*] of its receipt of a written request from ▇▇▇▇.

5.4.

If requested by ▇▇▇▇, Shire shall use Commercially Reasonable Efforts to deliver the Launch Quantities to ▇▇▇▇ on or before the License Effective Date, so that ▇▇▇▇ may Launch on the License Effective Date.

5.5. During the Supply Term, ▇▇▇▇ shall deliver a quarterly forecast (a “Forecast”) to Shire of the quantities of AG Product, by SKU, which ▇▇▇▇ reasonably anticipates it will require for Marketing during the [*] period (“Forecast Period”) beginning three months following the date of such Forecast and shall include quantities required to be delivered during each month of the Forecast Period. The foregoing notwithstanding, ▇▇▇▇ shall have no obligation to provide Forecasts or orders beyond the Term of this Agreement. For each such Forecast [*] of the Forecast Period shall be known as the “Purchase Order Period” and the amounts specified in the Forecast for the Purchase Order Period shall constitute a binding purchaser order for such period. In addition, in each subsequent Forecast, the amount ordered for the Purchase Order Period shall not deviate by more than [*] (as to the entire period or any month therein) from the [*] of the immediately preceding Forecast. Other than as specifically provided in this paragraph, the amounts set forth in the Forecasts shall only constitute a non-binding estimate of the AG Product requirements of ▇▇▇▇.

5.6. Subject to and in accordance with the terms of Section 5.3 and 5.4, Shire shall make deliveries of AG Product to a single delivery destination specified by ▇▇▇▇ no more than five (5) days after ▇▇▇▇'▇ specified delivery dates. All such shipments of AG Product shall be [*]. In no event shall Shire be required to make more than [*] AG Product during any month. In the event of any inconsistency between the terms and conditions of this Agreement on the one hand, and, on the other hand, the terms and conditions of any other agreement between the Parties, or in ▇▇▇▇'▇ purchase order or Shire's invoice or confirmation, then the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern to the extent of any such inconsistency or conflict, provided, however, that any

EXHIBIT A

terms agreed to in writing by the Parties as reflected in a purchase order, invoice or confirmation that relate specifically to the quantity, quality, Packaging, Labeling, shipment and Manufacturing Costs of AG Product shall govern in the event of any such inconsistency or conflict.

5.7. Shire shall invoice ▇▇▇▇ at the time of each shipment of AG Product at the Manufacturing Cost for such shipment. ▇▇▇▇ shall pay each such invoice within [*] of receipt.

5.8. In addition to the foregoing, the Parties shall work together in good faith and make Commercially Reasonable Efforts to timely satisfy any changes in the quantities and delivery dates of AG Product specified in the Forecasts due to changes in demand.

Upon reasonable belief of discrepancy or dispute, ▇▇▇▇'▇ external auditors shall be entitled to take copies or extracts from such records, books of account, information and data (but only to the extent related to the contractual obligations set out in this Agreement) during any review or audit, provided the external auditor signs a confidentiality agreement with Shire providing that such records, books of account, information and data shall be treated as Confidential Information which may be disclosed only to ▇▇▇▇.

5.13. ▇▇▇▇ shall be solely responsible for its costs in making any such review and audit, unless ▇▇▇▇ identifies a discrepancy in the calculation of Manufacturing Costs paid by ▇▇▇▇ to Shire under this Agreement in any calendar year from those

EXHIBIT A

properly payable for that calendar year of [*] or greater, in which event Shire shall be solely responsible for the cost of such review and audit and refund ▇▇▇▇ any overpayment. All information disclosed by Shire or its Affiliates pursuant to this Section 5.12 shall be deemed Confidential Information of Shire.

(a) inform the other by written notice of any actual or threatened Claim to which Sections 12.1 or 12.2 apply;

(b) provide to the other Party copies of all papers and official documents received in respect of any such Claim; and

(c) cooperate as reasonably requested by the other Party in the defense of any such Claim.

12.6. Contributory Negligence. If any Shire Liability or ▇▇▇▇ Liability is caused by the negligence of both Shire and ▇▇▇▇, [*].

12.7. Limitation of Liability. Except as may be included in a Claim under Section 12.1 or 12.2, or in the event of a breach of Article 10, in no event shall either Party or their respective Affiliates be liable for [*] based on [*] arising out of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

12.8. Product Liability Insurance. Each Party shall maintain, at its own cost, general commercial liability insurance (including comprehensive product liability) in such amount as Shire and ▇▇▇▇ respectively, customarily maintain with respect to its other products and which is reasonable and customary in the U.S. pharmaceutical industry for companies of comparable size and activities but in any event not less than [*]. In the event the insurance policy obtained by a Party is a "claims made" policy (as opposed to an "occurrence" policy), such Party shall obtain comparable insurance for not less than [*] following the expiry or termination of this Agreement. ▇▇▇▇ will cause Shire to be named as an additional insured under ▇▇▇▇’▇ product liability insurance.

12.9. Irreparable Harm. ▇▇▇▇ acknowledges that in the event of [*] would be difficult to calculate and the adequacy of monetary damages calculated at Law would be uncertain. Accordingly, ▇▇▇▇ agrees that in any action by Shire seeking [*], ▇▇▇▇ shall not assert or plead the availability of an adequate remedy at Law as a defense to the obtaining of any such remedy. The foregoing shall not be in lieu of any other remedy to which Shire may be entitled hereunder in equity or at Law as a result of such a breach.

12.10. Limitation on Representations, Warranties and Indemnification. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE DEEMED TO MAKE ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH HEREIN. ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WITH REGARD TO THE AG PRODUCT TO BE SUPPLIED BY SHIRE HEREUNDER, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY EACH PARTY.

13. Force Majeure

13.1. Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement or shall be liable to the other under this Agreement for loss or damages attributable to any Force Majeure, provided the Party affected shall give [*] notice thereof to the other Party. Subject to Section 13.2, the Party giving such notice shall be excused from such of its obligations hereunder for so long as it continues to be affected by Force Majeure.

13.2. Continued Force Majeure. If any Force Majeure continues unabated for a period of at least [*], the Parties shall meet to discuss in good faith what actions to take or what modifications should be made to this Agreement as a consequence of such Force Majeure in order to alleviate its consequences on the affected Party.

14. Trademarks and Trade Names

This Agreement shall not provide to Shire any right to use (except for the purposes of labeling AG Product for ▇▇▇▇ hereunder) any trademark or trade dress of ▇▇▇▇ or any rights to any intellectual property of ▇▇▇▇ or its Affiliates.

15. Term and Termination

15.1. Term. Unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms hereof, the Term of this Agreement shall extend from the date hereof until the expiration of the last Valid Claim within the Adderall XR Intellectual Property (the “Term”). The foregoing notwithstanding, the obligations of Shire regarding supply of AG Product under this Agreement shall extend from the date hereof only until the [*] anniversary of the License Effective Date (the “Initial Supply Term”). Thereafter, the Initial Supply Term shall automatically be extended for successive twelve (12) month periods (each, an “Additional Supply Term”), unless either Party gives to the other Party not less than [*] written notice of termination prior to the expiration of the Initial Supply Term, or any Additional Supply Term, of this Agreement.

15.2. Termination. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time in the event that the other Party materially breaches this Agreement and, if the material breach is capable of cure, such material breach continues uncured for a period of [*] after written notice thereof; provided, however, in the event that the breaching Party has in good faith commenced such cure within such [*] period, but cannot practically complete such cure within such [*] period, the breaching Party shall have an additional [*] day cure period. The foregoing notwithstanding, in the event a material breach is incapable of cure, without limiting any other rights of the non-breaching Party, including the right to seek injunctive relief, the non-breaching Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement only if (i) the breach is the result of ongoing willful misconduct by the breaching Party, and (ii) the breaching Party is not providing cooperation to mitigate the breach; or

15.3. Effect of Termination. In the event of expiry or termination of this Agreement for any reason:

(a) ▇▇▇▇ shall no longer have the right to Market product under the Authorization and License; provided that ▇▇▇▇ may continue to Market inventory then on hand for an additional period not to exceed [*], subject to the continued payment to Shire in accordance with Section 9; and

(b) Each Party shall promptly return to the other Party all Confidential Information of the other Party or its Affiliates received during the Term, provided that each Party may keep one copy of such Confidential Information for recordkeeping and compliance purposes.

EXHIBIT A

15.4. Liability on Termination.

15.5. Surviving Sections. The provisions of Sections 5.11, 5.12, 5.13, 7.5, 9.3, 9.4 and 9.5 and Articles 10, 12, 14, 15 and 16, and any other provisions necessary and proper to give effect to the intention of the Parties as to the effect of the Agreement after termination, shall continue in force in accordance with their respective terms notwithstanding expiry or termination of this Agreement for any reason.

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, the Parties understand and agree that either Party, may, if so required, disclose some or all of the information included in this Agreement or other Confidential Information of the other Party (i) in order to comply with its obligations under the Law, including the United States Securities Act of 1933, the United States Securities Exchange Act of 1934, (ii) the listing standards or agreements of any national or international securities exchange or The NASDAQ Stock Market or other similar Laws of a Governmental Authority, (iii) to respond to an inquiry of a Governmental Authority or regulatory authority as required by Law, or (iv) in a judicial, administrative or arbitration proceeding. In any such event the Party making such disclosure shall (A) provide the other Party with as much advance notice as reasonably practicable of the required disclosure, (B) cooperate with the other Party in any attempt to prevent or limit the disclosure, and (C) limit any disclosure to the specific purpose at issue.

EXHIBIT A

16.6. Superiority of Agreement. The Parties agree that the provisions of this Agreement, together with any amendments hereto, shall prevail over any inconsistent statements or provisions contained in any prior discussions, arrangements or comments between the Parties. It is agreed that:

(a) neither Party has entered into this Agreement in reliance upon any representation, warranty or undertaking of the other Party which is not expressly set out in this Agreement;

(b) neither Party shall have any remedy in respect of misrepresentation or untrue statement made by the other Party or for any breach of warranty which is not contained in this Agreement;

(c) this Section 16.6 shall not exclude any liability for, or remedy in respect of, fraudulent misrepresentation; and

(d) notwithstanding the foregoing, the Settlement Agreement shall be deemed of equal dignity to this Agreement and this Agreement shall be construed together with the Settlement Agreement in a consistent manner as reflecting a single intent and purpose.

16.7. Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the internal Laws of the State of New York, without giving effect to principles of conflicts of law. The Parties irrevocably agree that the federal district courts in the State of New York shall have exclusive jurisdiction to deal with any disputes arising out of or in connection with this Agreement and that, accordingly, any proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement shall be brought in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if there is any dispute for which the federal district courts in the State of New York do not have subject matter jurisdiction, the state courts in New York shall have jurisdiction. In connection with any dispute arising out of or in connection with this Agreement, each Party hereby expressly consents and submits to the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts in the County, City and State of New York.

16.8. Agreement Costs. Each Party shall pay its own costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, preparation and completion of this Agreement.

16.9. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts and may be executed by the Parties on separate counterparts, each of which is an original but all of which together constitute the same instrument.

16.10. Severability. If and to the extent that any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, void or unenforceable, such provision shall be given no effect and shall be deemed not to be included in this Agreement but without invalidating any of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.

EXHIBIT A

16.11. Relationship of the Parties. In making and performing this Agreement, the Parties are acting, and intend to be treated, as independent entities; and nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed or implied to create an agency, partnership, joint venture, or employer and employee relationship between Shire and ▇▇▇▇. Except as otherwise provided herein, neither Party may make any representation, warranty or commitment, whether express or implied, on behalf of, or incur any charges or expenses for or in the name of, the other Party.

16.12. Construction. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be construed, in all cases, according to its fair meaning. Shire and ▇▇▇▇ acknowledge that each Party and its counsel have reviewed and revised this Agreement and that any rule of construction to the effect that any ambiguities are to be resolved against the drafting Party shall not be employed in the interpretation of this Agreement. The words “hereof,” “herein,” “hereto” and “hereunder” and words of similar import, when used in this Agreement, shall refer to this Agreement as a whole and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. The terms defined in the singular shall have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice versa. Whenever used herein, the words “include,” “includes” and “including” shall mean “include, without limitation,” “includes, without limitation” and “including, without limitation,” respectively. The masculine, feminine or neuter gender and the singular or plural number shall each be deemed to include the others whenever the context so indicates. With respect to any particular action or agreement, the use of the words “Shire shall” or “Shire will” herein shall also mean “Shire shall cause” the particular action to be performed. Similarly, with respect to any particular action or agreement, the use of the words “▇▇▇▇ shall” or “▇▇▇▇ will” herein shall also mean “▇▇▇▇ shall cause” the particular action to be performed. Nothing in this Agreement shall operate to exclude any provision implied into this Agreement by Law and which may not be excluded by Law or limit or exclude any liability, right or remedy to a greater extent than is permissible under Law.

16.13. Dispute Resolution.

(a) Preliminary Process. If there is a disagreement between the Parties as to the interpretation of this Agreement or in relation to any aspect of the performance by either Party of its obligations under this Agreement, the Parties shall, within [*] of receipt of a written request from either Party, meet in good faith and try to resolve the disagreement without recourse to legal proceedings.

(b) Escalation of Dispute. If resolution of the disagreement does not occur within [*] after such meeting, the matter shall be escalated for determination by the President of ▇▇▇▇ and Shire’s President, Specialty Pharmaceuticals for resolution, who may resolve the matter themselves or jointly appoint a mediator or independent expert to do so.

(c) Equitable Relief. Nothing in this Section 16.13 restricts either Party’s freedom to seek urgent relief to preserve a legal right or remedy, or to protect a proprietary or trade secret right, or to otherwise seek legal remedies through any available channel if resolution is not otherwise achieved under this Section 16.13.

EXHIBIT A

16.14. Cumulative Rights. The rights and remedies of each of the Parties under or pursuant to this Agreement are cumulative, may be exercised as often as such Party considers appropriate and are in addition to its rights and remedies under general aw.

16.15. No Third Party Benefit. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure solely to the benefit of the Parties hereto, their successors and permitted assigns, and nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person or Persons any right, benefits or remedies of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement.

16.16. Further Assurance. Each of the Parties shall do, execute and perform and shall procure to be done and perform all such further acts deeds documents and things as the other Party may reasonably require from time to time to give full effect to the terms of this Agreement.
