Neither party shall issue or release any announcement, statement, press release or other publicity or marketing materials relating to this Agreement or otherwise use the other party's trademarks, service marks, trade names, logos, domain names or other indicia of source, affiliation or sponsorship, in each case, without the prior written consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed, provided, however, that Cerebrum may, without Customer's consent, include Customer's name in its lists of Cerebrum's current or former customers of Cerebrum in promotional and marketing materials.

12.3 Notices. All notices, requests, demands and determinations under this Agreement (other than routine operational communications) shall be in writing and shall be deemed duly given: (i) when delivered personally (against a signed receipt), (ii) on the designated day of delivery (other than a weekend or government holiday) after being timely given to an express overnight courier with a reliable system for tracking delivery, or (iii) four (4) days after the day of delivery, when sent by first class mail (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) to the addresses of the parties set forth at the beginning of this Agreement. Either party may change the address(es) or addressee(s) for notice hereunder upon written notice to the other. Because facsimile numbers and email addresses may change over time and facsimile transmissions and emails may not be treated with the same degree of seriousness as more formal communications, notices given by facsimile or email shall only be deemed effective if: (i) sent by confirmed facsimile (in the case of faxes) or responded to by the intended recipient or his or her successor (in the case of emails), and (ii) a copy is sent by another means specified in this paragraph.

For purposes of this Agreement: (i) the words “include,” “includes” and “including” are deemed to be followed by the words “without limitation”; (ii) the word “or” is not exclusive; (iii) the words “herein,” “hereof,” “hereby,” “hereto” and “hereunder” refer to this Agreement as a whole; (iv) words denoting the singular have a comparable meaning when used in the plural, and vice-versa; and (v) words denoting any gender include all genders. Unless the context otherwise requires, references in this Agreement: (vi) to sections, exhibits, schedules, attachments and appendices mean the sections of, and exhibits, schedules, attachments and appendices attached to, this Agreement; (vii) to an agreement, instrument or other document means such agreement, instrument or other document as amended, supplemented and modified from time to time to the extent permitted by the provisions thereof; and (viii) to a statute means such statute as amended from time to time and includes any successor legislation thereto and any regulations promulgated thereunder. The parties intend this Agreement to be construed without regard to any presumption or rule requiring construction or interpretation against the party drafting an instrument or causing any instrument to be drafted. The exhibits, schedules, attachments, and appendices referred to herein are an integral part of this Agreement to the same extent as if they were set forth verbatim herein and are hereby incorporated by reference.

12.5 Headings. The headings in this Agreement are for reference only and do not affect the interpretation of this Agreement.

12.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with any other documents expressly incorporated herein by reference, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings, agreements, representations, and warranties, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.

12.7 Assignment; Binding Nature. Neither party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights, or delegate or otherwise transfer any of its obligations or performance, under this Agreement, in each case whether voluntarily, involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, without the other party's prior written consent. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event that Cerebrum is acquired, either pursuant to a sale of all or substantially all of its assets, units or membership interests, or engages in a merger combination or other transaction in which, following such transaction, more than fifty percent (50%) of the assets, units or membership interest of Cerebrum are owned or controlled by another person or entity (a “Change of Control Transaction”), this Agreement and all exhibits and schedules hereto shall be transferrable by Cerebrum without Customer's written consent. Any purported assignment, delegation, or transfer in violation of this Section 11.7 is void. This Agreement is binding upon and inures to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

12.8 No Third-party Beneficiaries. This Agreement and its exhibits are for the sole benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and permitted assigns and nothing herein, express or implied, is intended to or shall confer upon any other Person any legal or equitable right, benefit or remedy of any nature whatsoever under or by reason of this Agreement or any exhibit hereto.

12.9 Amendment and Modification; Waiver. No amendment to or modification of this Agreement or any exhibit hereto is effective unless it is in writing and signed by each party. No waiver by any party of any of the provisions hereof or thereof shall be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement or any exhibit, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any rights, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement or any exhibit shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

12.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any exhibit is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Agreement or any exhibit 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 or any exhibit 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.

12.11 Governing Law; Arbitration. This Agreement, together with all exhibits and schedules hereto, shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, without giving effect to any conflict of laws provisions of any jurisdiction. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein or in any exhibit, all claims, controversies or disputes between the parties which arise out of or relate in any way to this Agreement or any schedule or exhibit hereto or a breach thereof and which the parties are unable to resolve informally shall be submitted to final and binding arbitration. Arbitration shall be in accordance with and subject to the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) but not under its auspices. Arbitration shall be conducted by a single arbitrator, unless otherwise agreed upon by the parties, and the Arbitration shall take place in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The parties shall pay the costs of any arbitration held pursuant to this section as the arbitrator(s) may direct. Arbitration shall be final and binding on the parties and judgment may be entered upon the award and may be enforced by appropriate judicial action in any state or federal court having jurisdiction thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, nothing herein shall prevent either party from seeking injunctive or other equitable relief as specifically permitted by Section 11.12 hereof.

12.12 Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding Section 11.11, each party acknowledges and agrees that a breach or threatened breach by such party of any of its obligations under Section 6 or, in the case of Customer, Sections 5.1 and 5.2, would 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. Such remedies are not exclusive and are in addition to all other remedies that may be available at law, in equity or otherwise.

12.13 Attorney Fees. In the event that any action, suit, or other legal or administrative proceeding is instituted or commenced by either party hereto against the other party arising out of or related to this Agreement or any exhibit, the substantially prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney's fees and court costs from the non-prevailing party.
