In order, however, to provide Motiva the full realization and value of every contract, of the character described in the immediately preceding sentence, the Company agrees that prior to Closing, it will, at the request and under the direction of Motiva, in the name of the Company or otherwise as Motiva shall specify, take commercially reasonable actions (a) to assure that the rights of the Company under such contracts shall be preserved for the benefit of Motiva and (b) to facilitate receipt of the consideration to be received by the Company in and under every such contract, which consideration shall be held for the benefit of, and shall be delivered to Motiva. | 8.5 Consentimientos. Nada bajo este Contrato se interpretará como un intento de ceder ningún contrato, acuerdo o licencia incluidos en los Activos Transferidos, que sea por sus términos o por la Ley como no asignable sin el consentimiento previo de la otra parte o partes del mismo,a menos que dicho consentimiento haya sido dado, o en relación con el cual todos los recursos para la ejecución de los mismos hayan sido ejercidos por la Compañía, como cuestión de derecho, pasare a Motiva como un incidente en relación con las asignaciones previstas en este Contrato. Sin embargo, con el fin de proporcionar a Motiva de plena efectividad y valor de cada contrato, la Compañía acuerda que antes del Cierre, y bajo la dirección de Motiva y en nombre de la Compañía tomará acciones que sean comercialmente razonables para (a) asegurar que los derechos de la Compañía bajo tales contratos se conservarán para el beneficio de Motiva y (b) para facilitar la recepción de la contraprestación que recibirá la Compañía por cada uno de dichos contratos, cuya contraprestación se llevará a cabo en su beneficio y se entregará a Motiva. |

The Agent shall be solely responsible for the employment, control and direction of its employees. The Agent shall have no power or authority to conclude |

16.5 | Severability. Whenever possible, the provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted so as to be valid and enforceable under the applicable law. However, if one or more provisions of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable (in whole or in part), the remainder of the provision and of this Agreement shall not be affected and shall continue in full force and effect as if the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision(s) had never existed.

16.6 | Force Majeure. Neither Party shall be liable for any failure to perform this Agreement (except for the payment of any sums due hereunder) if such failure is due to causes beyond its reasonable control, such as, but not limited to, fire, flood, strike, labor dispute or other industrial disturbance, declared or undeclared war, embargo, blockade, legal restriction, riot, insurrection, governmental regulation and the unavailability of means of transportation. |

Any waiver of a right must be express and in writing. If there has been an express written waiver by one Party following a specific failure by the other Party, this waiver cannot be invoked by the other Party in favor of either a new failure, similar to the prior one or a failure of another nature. |
