2.1 | In consideration of the Company agreeing to pay the Fees to the Consultant in accordance with clause 4, the Consultant shall provide the Services to the Company (and such other members of the PAHC Group as the Company may from time to time direct) subject to, and in accordance with, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

Accordingly, the Consultant shall be under no liability to the Company or any other member of the PAHC Group for any delay or failure to provide the Services as a result of the Consultant fulfilling its obligations to its other customers and clients (current and future) so long as such other obligations are not generally accorded any more priority than the provision of the Services.
3. | COMPANY OBLIGATIONS

| desirable for the performance of the Services for the benefit of the Company.

4.3 | Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, the Company shall reimburse the Consultant in respect of all reasonable out of pocket expenses properly incurred by the Consultant in connection with the performance of the Services including, without limiting the generality of the foregoing, travel and accommodation, provided that all out of pocket expenses must be approved in advance by the Company and reasonably adequate documentation must be submitted prior to reimbursement.

5.1 | The Consultant agrees to act diligently and to use all reasonable care and skill in providing the Services provided however that neither the Consultant nor any member of the Consultant Group or their respective Personnel shall, in the absence of gross negligence, wilful default or fraud, be liable for any loss or damage suffered by any member of the PAHC Group arising directly or indirectly out of the provision of the Services by the Consultant or such member of the Consultant Group or their Personnel in good faith in accordance with the terms of this Agreement.
5.2 | For the avoidance of doubt, the limitation of liability under this clause 5 shall not apply to the extent that such limitation shall not be permitted or effective under any laws or regulations applicable to the Consultant or any member of the Consultant Group, including the Conduct of Business Rules of the Financial Services Authority.
5.3 | Subject to clause 5.2 and without prejudice to clause 5.6 below, the aggregate liability of either Party (whether such liability arises in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise) to the other Party’s Group for Loss arising out of, or in connection with, the provision of the Services pursuant to this Agreement shall not in any circumstances exceed, in aggregate, two times the Fees then paid by the Company pursuant to this Agreement.

| 5.4.2 | the Consultant shall not under any circumstances be liable to any member of the PAHC Group or any other person for any Loss arising out of, or in connection with, the provision of the Services pursuant to this Agreement to the extent that it results from any failure or delay by any member of the PAHC Group or any of its Personnel to perform its obligations relating to the provision of the Services under this Agreement;

| 9.2.2 | to third parties (except as otherwise provided in this Agreement) with the prior written consent of the Company;
| 9.2.3 | to its professional advisers provided that the Consultant procures, to the extent it is legally able to do so, that such adviser shall not disclose such Confidential Information to a third party without the prior written consent of the Company save where such adviser is required to do so by any law or regulatory or professional obligations, and provided that the Receiving Party shall be responsible for compliance with this Agreement by such advisers;

| provided, that in the case of any disclosure pursuant to sub-clauses 9.2.4, 9.2.5 or 9.2.6, the Receiving Party shall, if reasonably practicable, provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of such request or requirement in order to enable the Disclosing Party to seek an appropriate protective order or other remedy to resist or narrow the scope of any such disclosure. If such protective order or other remedy is not obtained, or the Disclosing Party waives compliance, in whole or in part, with the terms of this Agreement, or the Receiving Party or its representatives are legally compelled to disclose Confidential Information, the Receiving Party or its representatives, as the case may be, shall use reasonable efforts to disclose only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required to be disclosed and exercise all reasonable efforts to cooperate with the Disclosing Party to obtain confidential treatment for the Confidential Information so disclosed.

10

9.3 | Each party which is a Receiving Party shall, and shall procure that each other member of its Group which is a Receiving Party shall, if it becomes aware of any breach of confidence or unauthorised use by any of its Personnel, promptly notify the Disclosing Party.
9.4 | Following termination of this Agreement, and without prejudice to clause 7, each party which is a Receiving Party shall, and shall procure that each other member of its Group which is a Receiving Party shall, upon written request by the Disclosing Party, as soon as reasonably practicable, procure that all Confidential Information in its possession or under its control (or in the possession of, or under the control of, any other member of its Group) is, at the Receiving Party’s election, returned, deleted or destroyed (save to the extent prohibited by relevant laws or regulations) and shall confirm in writing to the Disclosing Party that it has done so.
9.5 | Each party which is a Receiving Party shall, and shall procure that each other member of its Group which is a Receiving Party shall, apply to the Confidential Information at least the same security measures and degree of care as it applies to its own confidential information, and in no event less than a reasonable level of care.
9.6 | All Confidential Information (including, without limitation, all copies, extracts and portions thereof) is and shall remain the sole property of the Disclosing Party. The Receiving Party does not acquire (by license or otherwise, whether express or implied) any intellectual property rights or other rights under this Agreement or any disclosure hereunder, except the limited right to use such Confidential Information in accordance with the express provisions of this Agreement. All rights relating to the Confidential Information that are not expressly granted hereunder to the Receiving Party are reserved and retained by the Disclosing Party.
9.7 | The Receiving Party agrees that, due to the unique nature of the Confidential Information, the unauthorized disclosure or use of the Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm and significant injury to the Disclosing Party, the extent of which will be difficult to ascertain and for which there may be no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, the Receiving Party agrees that the Disclosing Party, in addition to any other available remedies, shall have the right to seek an immediate injunction and other equitable relief enjoining any breach or threatened breach of this Agreement. Any and all remedies herein expressly conferred upon a party will be deemed cumulative with and not exclusive of any other remedy conferred hereby, or by law or equity upon such party, and the exercise by a party of any one remedy will not preclude the exercise of any other remedy.
9.8 | The provisions of this clause 9 shall survive the termination of this Agreement and the return, deletion or destruction of the Confidential Information.
10. | CONTRACT MANAGEMENT/DISPUTE RESOLUTION

11.2 | Neither the Consultant nor its Personnel to whom Confidential Information is disclosed pursuant to this Agreement shall disclose any of the Confidential Information to another person (except in accordance with the terms of this Agreement) or use this information to:

12

12.2 | Each party acknowledges that it is entering into this Agreement without reliance on any undertaking, warranty or representation given by or on behalf of the other party other than as expressly contained in this Agreement, provided that nothing in this clause shall limit or exclude the liability of the either party for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

15.2 | No failure or delay by any party or time or indulgence given in exercising any remedy or right under or in relation to this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of the same, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any remedy or right preclude any further exercise of the same or the exercise of any other remedy or right.
15.3 | No waiver by any party of any requirement of this Agreement, or of any remedy or right under this Agreement, shall have effect unless given in writing and signed by such party.
