14.6 Relationship Between the Parties.
(a) Independent Contractor. The relationship of the Parties under this Agreement is that of independent contractors. The Parties will not be deemed partners or joint ventures, nor will one Party be deemed an agent or employee of the other Party. Neither Party has any express or implied right under this Agreement to assume or create any obligation on behalf of, or in the name of, the other Party, or to bind the other Party to any contract, agreement, or undertaking with any Third Party, and no conduct of a Party shall be deemed to imply such right.
(b) No Exclusivity. For clarity, the relationship between the Parties under this Agreement is nonexclusive and does not preclude (a) ADC from entering into agreements relating to Third Party insulin delivery devices or systems or (b) Insulet from entering
into agreements relating to Third Party glucose monitoring products or systems, except as set forth in Section 11.6.
14.7 Entire Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that in entering into this Agreement it does not rely on any statement, representation, or warranty other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits hereto (which Exhibits are deemed to be a part of this Agreement for all purposes), the Development Plan, the Commercialization Plans, the Quality Agreement, and any Joint Promotion Agreement contain the entire agreement between the Parties, and supersede all previous agreements, negotiations, discussions, writings, understandings, commitments and conversations with respect to the subject matter hereof. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Development Plan, this Agreement shall control. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Quality Agreement, the Quality Agreement shall control with regard to adverse event reporting and other quality matters, and this Agreement shall control in all other circumstances. The Parties hereby agree and acknowledge that this Agreement amends and restates the Original Agreement in its entirety, and the Original Agreement is replaced with, and superseded by, this Agreement.
14.8 Amendments. No provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed amended, supplemented, or modified unless such amendment, supplement, or modification is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party. The express terms of this Agreement control and supersede any course of performance or dealing inconsistent with any of the terms hereof.
14.9 Severability. In the event that any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or the ADR neutral to be unenforceable because it is invalid or in conflict with any law of any relevant jurisdiction, the validity of the remaining provisions shall not be affected, and the rights and obligations of the Parties shall be construed and enforced as if this Agreement did not contain the particular provisions held to be unenforceable.
14.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which shall be deemed to be an original, and all of which together shall constitute one and the same agreement. Each Party acknowledges that an original signature or a copy thereof transmitted by facsimile or by PDF shall constitute an original signature for purposes of this Agreement.
14.11 Dispute Resolution. Subject to Section 2.5, any dispute arising under or related to this Agreement shall be settled by the alternative dispute resolution provisions set forth in Exhibit 14.11. Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, the Parties agree that any request for provisional remedies and any request for injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, shall be decided by a court of competent jurisdiction and not through the alternative dispute resolution provisions set forth in Exhibit 14.11.
14.12 Venue. If either Party brings any request for provisional remedies or any request for injunctive relief against the other Party in accordance with Section 14.11, that Party may only bring that proceeding in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware or, only if there is no federal subject matter jurisdiction, in any state court of Delaware sitting in New
Castle County, Delaware, and each Party hereby submits to the exclusive jurisdiction of those courts for purposes of any such proceeding.
14.3 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges that any breach of the restrictions set forth in ***, and ***, ***, and ***may cause the other Party irreparable harm and significant injury, to which there may not be adequate remedy at law. Each Party further acknowledges that any breach of the restrictions set forth in Section *** and any use or disclosure of the *** of the other Party other than in accordance with this Agreement will cause the other Party irreparable harm and significant injury, to which there is no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, in the event of a breach or threatened breach of any provision of such Sections or Articles, the non-breaching Party shall be authorized and entitled to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction injunctive relief, whether preliminary or permanent, specific performance, which rights shall be cumulative and in addition to any other rights or remedies to which such non-breaching Party may be entitled in law or equity.
14.4 Interpretation. The headings of the Articles and Sections of, and any Exhibits to, this Agreement have been added for the convenience of the Parties and shall not be deemed a part hereof. Words in the singular shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa, and words of one gender shall be deemed to include the other gender, as the context requires. The terms “hereof,” “herein,” and “herewith” and words of similar import shall, unless otherwise stated, be construed to refer to this Agreement as a whole (including any and all of the Schedules hereto) and not to any particular provision of this Agreement. Article, Section, and Exhibit references are to the Articles, Sections, and Exhibits to this Agreement, unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise stated, all references to any agreement shall be deemed to include any and all Exhibits to such agreement. The word “including” and words of similar import when used in this Agreement shall mean “including, without limitation,” unless the context otherwise requires or unless otherwise specified. The word “or” shall not be exclusive. Unless otherwise specified in a particular case, the word “days” refers to calendar days.

14.15 Joint Negotiation. This Agreement is the joint product of ADC and Insulet, and each provision hereof has been subject to the mutual consultation, negotiation, and agreement of the Parties and their respective legal counsel and advisers, and any rule of construction that a document shall be interpreted or construed against the drafting Party shall not be applicable.
14.16 No Other Compensation. Insulet and ADC hereby agree that the terms of this Agreement, (including the Development Plan and Commercialization Plans), the Quality Agreement and any Joint Promotion Agreement fully define all consideration, compensation and benefits, monetary or otherwise, to be paid, granted or delivered by Insulet to ADC and by ADC to Insulet in connection with the transactions contemplated herein. Neither ADC nor Insulet previously has paid or entered into any other commitment to pay, whether orally or in writing,
any ADC or Insulet employee, directly or indirectly, any consideration, compensation or benefits, monetary or otherwise, in connection with the transactions contemplated herein.
14.17 Records. Each Party shall, and shall ensure that its Affiliates and its and their employees, agents and subcontractors, maintain, in compliance with Applicable Law, complete and accurate records with respect to its performance of the development and commercialization activities hereunder.

14.18 Performance by Affiliates or other Approved Designees. Notwithstanding anything else set forth herein, any obligation or right of either Party under this Agreement may be fulfilled or exercised, in whole or in part, at such Party’s sole option, either by such Party directly or by any Affiliate or other Approved Designee. In such case, such Party shall remain liable for any such obligation or right as if performed directly by such Party itself.
14.19 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Nothing in this Agreement, express or implied, is intended to, or shall, confer upon any Third Party any right, benefit, or remedy of any nature whatsoever under, or by reason of, this Agreement.
