Either party may terminate the Agreement, effective immediately upon written notice to the other party, if the other party: (i) is unable to pay, or fails to pay, its debts as they become due; (ii) becomes insolvent, files or has filed against it, a petition for voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy or otherwise becomes subject, voluntarily or involuntarily, to any proceeding under any domestic or foreign bankruptcy or insolvency law; (iii) makes or seeks to make a general assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (iv) applies for or has appointed a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent appointed by order of any court of competent jurisdiction to take charge of or sell any material portion of its property or business.

15.4. | Force Majeure. In no event shall either Party be liable to the other Party, or be deemed to have breached this Agreement, for any failure or delay in performing its obligations under this Agreement, (except for any obligations to make payments), if and to the extent such failure or delay is caused by any circumstances beyond such Party’s reasonable control (a “Force Majeure Event”), including but not limited to acts of God, flood, fire, earthquake, explosion, war, terrorism, invasion, riot or other civil unrest, strikes, labor stoppages or slowdowns or other industrial disturbances, or passage of law or any action taken by a governmental or public authority, including imposing an embargo. |
15.5. | Amendment and Modification; Waiver. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement is effective unless it is in writing and signed by an authorized representative of each Party.

Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, (i) no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power, or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof and (ii) no single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power, or privilege hereunder will preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power, or privilege. |
15.6. | Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability will not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby be consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible. |
15.7. | Governing Law; Submission to Jurisdiction.

Any purported assignment, transfer, or delegation in violation of this Section is null and void. No assignment, transfer, or delegation will relieve the assigning or delegating Party of any of its obligations hereunder. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns. |
15.10. | Mergers and Acquisitions. For the purpose of calculating the Fees, it is not the parties’ intention that the Fees charged under this Agreement will include accesses to Services added through a merger or acquisition. Accordingly, in the event of any merger or acquisition that would result in Licensee’s ownership or control of accesses to Services formerly owned or controlled by another entity, such additional accesses to Services will not be covered by the Fees charged under this Agreement. Licensee agrees that such additional accesses to Services shall be subject to additional fees, based upon the then current listed price for the additional accesses to Services resulting from the acquisition or merger. For the avoidance of doubt a merger and/or acquisition shall not entitle Licensee to terminate this Agreement other than in accordance with its terms. |
15.11. | Creation, Storage of Back-ups and Security. Licensor will create a back-up of data daily for certain applications hosted by Licensor, as scheduled by Licensor. Licensor reserves the right to retain only the most current fifteen (15) days of back-ups, and to erase or otherwise dispose of all other back-ups at any time. In the event of a disaster, such back-ups will be retrieved and used in accordance with Licensor’s disaster recovery plan, which shall be updated from time to time without notice to Licensee. Licensor will employ commercially reasonable security measures (including, but not limited to, password protection and encryption) that are intended to prevent access to the Service and other Licensee data and/or information by unauthorized persons. Licensor will establish and maintain such other commercially reasonable safeguards (including, but not limited to, virus protection safeguards) against the destruction, loss or alteration of the Service and other Licensee data and/or information. |

Licensee shall not, directly or indirectly, export, re-export, or release the Software to, or make the Software accessible from, any jurisdiction or country to which export, re-export, or release is prohibited by law, rule, or regulation. Licensee shall comply with all applicable federal laws, regulations, and rules, and complete all required undertakings (including obtaining any necessary export license or other governmental approval), prior to exporting, re-exporting, releasing, or otherwise making the Software available outside the US. |
14
15.13. | Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such Party of any of its obligations under this Agreement, including Section 10 or 11, in the case of Licensee, Section 4.3, may cause the other Party irreparable harm for which monetary damages would not be an adequate remedy and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the other Party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including a restraining order, an injunction, specific performance, and any other relief that may be available from any court, without any requirement to post a bond or other security, or to prove actual damages or that monetary damages are not an adequate remedy.
