5.1                               Confidentiality Agreement.  Consultant agrees to sign the Genetronics Confidential Disclosure Agreement (“CDA”) attached hereto as Exhibit C prior to or on the Effective Date.  Consultant also agrees that the attached CDA will supersede and replace any prior confidentiality agreement signed between the Parties.  In the event that Consultant is an entity or otherwise will be causing individuals in its employ or under its supervision to participate in the rendering of the Services, Consultant warrants that it shall cause each of such individuals to execute a Genetronics CDA.

7.4                               Choice of Law.  The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without giving effect to the principles of conflict of laws.

 

7.5                               Severability.  If one or more provisions of this Agreement are held to be unenforceable under applicable law, the Parties agree to renegotiate such provision in good faith.  In the event that the Parties cannot reach a mutually agreeable and enforceable replacement for such provision, then (i) such provision shall be excluded from this Agreement, (ii) the balance of the Agreement shall be interpreted as if such provision were so excluded and (iii) the balance of the Agreement shall be enforceable in accordance with its terms.
