Licensee agrees to obtain and maintain commercial general liability insurance (including contractual liability coverage) on an occurrence based policy form (Form CG 2010) in the minimum amount of $5,000,000 to cover Licensee's obligations under this Agreement including, but not limited to, the indemnity.  DuPont shall be named as an additional insured on such insurance.  Certificates of insurance in a form reasonably acceptable to DuPont evidencing the insurance coverage so required shall be sent to DuPont, at the address set forth below, prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement.   Failure to maintain such coverage,  to provide notice necessary to trigger or preserve the right to coverage under the policy or failure to provide DuPont with evidence of such coverage shall constitute good cause for the immediate termination of this Agreement by DuPont. Such certificates shall provide that the insurer will give DuPont not less than thirty (30) days advance notice of any change in or cancellation of coverage.

4.

In the event either, or both, of the Parties to this Agreement are engaged in litigation with a third party over the subject matter of this Agreement, the Parties hereto agree to fully cooperate with each other in the defense of such action and will seek the cooperation of any insurance company that may have an interest in the litigation.

3.	The Parties’ legal obligations under this Agreement are to be determined from the precise and literal language of this Agreement and not from the imposition of state laws attempting to impose additional duties that were not the express basis of the bargain at the time this Agreement was made.

4.	The Parties are sophisticated businesses with legal counsel to review the terms of this Agreement and the Parties represent that they have fully read this Agreement, understand its unambiguous terms and intend to be legally bound hereby.

8.	The failure of the Parties to insist upon the performance of any provision of this Agreement or to exercise any right or privilege thereunder shall not be construed as a waiver of any right arising under this Agreement and all provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

11.

If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable, all other provisions will continue in full force and effect, and the Parties will substitute for the invalid or unenforceable provision a valid and enforceable provision which conforms as nearly as possible with the original intent of the Parties.

mediation under the International Institute for Conflict Prevention & Resolution ("CPR") Mediation Procedure then currently in effect.

The obligations set forth in this paragraph shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement.

12.

In addition to these Standard Conditions of Sale, any Special Conditions of Sale set forth on this invoice or in the current price list for the products or services sold hereunder shall apply and are incorporated by reference. Unless otherwise specified therein, title, liability for and risk of loss to Product sold hereunder passes to Buyer upon loading for shipment at Seller's producing location.

 

13.	This Agreement shall be construed and governed by Delaware law, without regard to any applicable conflicts of law provisions, and the terms of the UCC, rather than the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, shall apply.

 

14.

Except as expressly provided in any other term or condition of this Agreement, any provision hereof which is prohibited or unenforceable in any jurisdiction shall, as to such jurisdiction, be ineffective only to the extent of such prohibition or unenforceability without invalidating the remaining provisions hereof or affecting the validity or enforceability of such provision in any other jurisdiction.

15.

This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, representations and understandings between the parties (whether written or oral) with respect to its subject matter and constitutes (along with the exhibits and schedules attached hereto) a complete and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the parties with respect to the provision of products or services hereunder. Not by way of limitation of the unqualified nature of the foregoing, Buyer acknowledges, agrees and represents that it is not relying upon, and it has not been induced by, any representation, warranty, statement made by, or other information provided by Seller in connection with its decision to purchase or use any product, service, information or technology, other than the representations and warranties Seller as and only to the extent expressly provided in this Agreement. No modification of this Agreement shall be binding upon Seller unless separately contracted in writing and executed by a duly authorized representative of Seller. No modification shall be effected by the acknowledgment or acceptance of purchase order forms stipulating different conditions. Unless Buyer shall notify Seller in writing to the contrary as soon as practicable after receipt of this invoice by Buyer, Buyer shall be deemed to have accepted the terms and conditions hereof and, in the absence of such notification, Buyer's acceptance or use of the products, services, information or technology shall be equivalent to Buyer's assent to the terms and conditions hereof.
