- 6 -
reach Persons in the other Party’s Territory, and that the other Party shall not be in breach of this Agreement for such activities so long as (a) the objective of such advertising, promotion or marketing of such other Party is to reach Persons within the other Party’s Territory or otherwise to promote sales of the Product (as applicable) in the other Party’s Territory, and (b) the receipt by Persons located inside its Territory of such advertising, promotion or marketing with respect to the Product is merely incidental to the objectives of such advertising, promotion or marketing. Further, each Party acknowledges that Product sold by the other Party to distributors outside of its Territory and intended for resale to end users outside of its Territory may end up being resold (through, for example, an internet sales channel) to end users in its Territory, and that the other Party shall not be in breach of this Agreement based on such resales so long as such other Party or any of its Affiliates, licensee, Sublicensees or distributors does not authorize such resales into the other Party’s Territory and complies with its obligations set forth in this Article 4; provided, however, that in the event of a resale of its Product involving crossover into the Territory of the other Party, each Party agrees to take commercially reasonable steps to identify the channel and parties involved in such resale and to prevent additional sales involving crossover into the Territory of the other Party by the same parties and the same or a similar channel.

The covenants and agreements set forth in this Agreement are for the sole benefit of the Parties and their successors and permitted assigns, and, except for the rights of Buyer Indemnitees and Seller Indemnitees under Article 8, they shall not be construed as conferring any rights on any other Persons.
10.6 Waiver and Non-Exclusion of Remedies.

10.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future Law, and if the rights or obligations of either Party under this Agreement will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision shall be fully severable, (b) this Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof, (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect and shall not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there shall be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible and reasonably acceptable to the Parties.
10.11 Equitable Relief.

Buyer acknowledges and agrees, and shall provide Seller with such assistance as Seller may reasonably request, to record this Agreement, or to register or record Buyer and its Sublicensees as registered users of or licensees of the Licensed Trademarks, with any trademark office or other Governmental Agency in the Buyer Territory as Seller may deem necessary or desirable, at Seller’s cost and expense.
10.14 Relationship of the Parties. It is expressly agreed that Seller, on the one hand, and Buyer, on the other hand, shall be independent contractors and that the relationship between the two Parties shall not constitute a partnership, joint venture or agency.
