additional costs or charges for any agreed upon modifications to the Pre-Launch
Development Services.
2.4 ANTICIPATED DELAYS. Airline and Orbitz will immediately notify
each other if either party anticipates a delay in completing the Pre-Launch

Managers will promptly seek in good faith to determine the potential impact and
take the steps that may be available to avoid or minimize the anticipated delay
and its impact on the Schedule.

portions of Airline's facilities that Orbitz may reasonably require to perform
the Services. Such access will be provided at mutually convenient times during

CONFIDENTIAL Page 4
primary or alternate Relationship Managers of both parties pursuant to

primary interface points between the parties with respect to such projects.
3.2 STATUS REPORTS. The Orbitz Relationship Manager will provide
the Airline Relationship Manager with periodic status reports on Orbitz's
progress during the performance of the Pre-Launch Development Services. Prior to
the Development Completion Date, the Relationship Managers will meet at least
once per month to discuss the status of the Pre-Launch Development Services.
Following the Development Completion Date, the Relationship Managers will meet
at least once per quarter to discuss the Hosting and Support Services.
3.3 PROJECT PROBLEMS. In the event of any actual or potential
problem or delay in the Pre-Launch Development Services or the Hosting and
Support Services, the Relationship Managers will discuss the relevant sources,
possible remedies and potential impact on the Pre-Launch Development Services or
the Hosting and Support Services at the next scheduled status meeting or, at
either Relationship Manager's request, an emergency meeting. To assist in such
discussions, each Relationship Manager may invite any applicable Project
Managers or other persons to the scheduled or emergency meeting. If a
modification of the Specifications or the Schedule is required as a result of
the problem or delay, the Relationship Managers will follow the procedures
specified in Section 7.
3.4 PROJECT MANAGERS. Airline may object to the appointment of an
Orbitz Project Manager who, in the opinion of Airline, reasonably and legally
exercised, does not meet Airline's qualifications, by providing notice of its
objection to Orbitz in writing, specifying such objection in reasonable detail.
In such event, the Relationship Managers will meet to resolve any issue related
to such Project Manager. Should the Relationship Managers be unable to resolve
any issue related to such Project Manager, Orbitz shall appoint a different
Project Manager.
4. PRE-LAUNCH DEVELOPMENT
4.1 PRE-LAUNCH DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. Orbitz will use its
commercially reasonable efforts to provide Airline with dedicated resources to
perform the Pre-Launch Development Services and will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to develop the Airline-Specific Software and the Core
Software described in the Specifications. Airline will promptly respond to
Orbitz's requests for information regarding such efforts and will provide Orbitz
the assistance that Orbitz may reasonably require to complete the Pre-Launch
Development Services. Upon completion of such development efforts, Orbitz will
make the Orbitz Software available to Airline for testing.
4.2 FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. From time to time during the term
of this Agreement, Airline may request technical or functional modifications to
the Orbitz Software in addition to or in lieu of the requirements set forth in
the Specifications. Any such request will be processed according to the
procedures set forth in Section 7. Orbitz will perform any such additional
services upon which the parties mutually agree at the rates set forth in Exhibit
D.
4.3 TESTING. Following receipt of Orbitz's notice that the Orbitz
Software, and any Update thereto, is ready for testing, Airline will test the
Orbitz Software, or any Update, within the time period set forth in the
Schedule, or any Order, to determine whether it substantially conforms to the
Specifications. If the Orbitz Software substantially conforms to the
Specifications, Airline will provide Orbitz with written notice that the Orbitz
Software, or any Update, is accepted. If the Orbitz Software or Update fails to
substantially conform to the Specifications, or Documentation, Airline will
provide Orbitz with a written report of the non-conformity, within thirty (30)
days after the notice that the Orbitz Software or Update is ready for testing,
specifying such non-conformity in reasonable detail. Upon receipt of a
non-conformity
CONFIDENTIAL Page 5
report, Orbitz will either promptly correct and resubmit the Orbitz Software or
Update for re-testing or, if the parties mutually agree that such reported
non-conformity is actually a modification from the agreed upon Specifications,
or other Documentation, the parties shall agree that such reported
non-conformity is actually a Change Request, to be handled pursuant to Section
7. Following the correction of any non-conformity, Airline shall again inspect
and evaluate the Orbitz Software or Update and conduct all necessary tests to
determine whether the non-conformity has been corrected. Upon confirming that
the non-conformity identified by Airline has been corrected, Airline shall
accept the Orbitz Software or Update as specified herein. In the event that
Airline fails to issue a report of non-conformity within such thirty (30) day
period, the Orbitz Software or Update will be deemed to be accepted.
The test period shall be suspended during periods when Orbitz is
attempting to correct any non-conformities. Following re-delivery of a
correction to Airline under no circumstances shall Airline have less than ten
(10) days to complete testing.
4.4 FAILURE TO DELIVER CONFORMING SOFTWARE. In the event that
Orbitz fails to deliver to Airline a version of the Orbitz Software
substantially in conformance with the Specifications within sixty (60) days of
the Launch Date and Orbitz is primarily responsible for such failure, then
Airline will not be charged for any development efforts performed by Orbitz or
its Subcontractors following such sixty (60) day period with respect to the
Pre-Launch Development Services and Orbitz will refund Pre-Launch Development
Fees actually paid to Orbitz for the Pre-Launch Development Services, in
accordance with refund policy set forth in Exhibit D. In the event that Orbitz
is not primarily responsible for such failure, no refund will be due.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Orbitz agrees that it shall provide written
notice to Airline of any circumstances that would prevent Orbitz from delivering
conforming Orbitz Software and if such notice is not provided, Orbitz will be
deemed to have waived its argument that any performance failure under this
Agreement was attributable to Airline and Orbitz will be deemed primarily
responsible for such failure.
4.5 MIGRATION. Orbitz and Airline will develop a mutually agreed
upon plan to migrate the provision of online travel booking services from
Airline's current online travel booking provider to Orbitz. Such migration will
be completed prior to the Launch Date. Airline will use its commercially
reasonable efforts to cause its current online travel booking services provider
to cooperate with such migration. Airline will obtain from such provider and
deliver to Orbitz the customer registration database, and will secure any rights
necessary for Orbitz to convert and use such customer registration database to
provide the Services. Both parties will use reasonable best efforts to ensure a
smooth and seamless transition from Airline's current online travel booking
provider to Orbitz. [***].
4.6 INTERFACE TO PARTITION. With respect to any connectivity
interface that is required under the Specifications, the parties acknowledge
that Orbitz's obligations to develop such connectivity interface is expressly
dependent upon the cooperation of Worldspan, Airline's third party computerized
reservation system provider, or any other GDS selected by Airline, and Airline.
Airline will provide Orbitz with any and all information and assistance
reasonably requested by Orbitz to develop and maintain a connectivity interface
with the applicable computerized reservation system. Orbitz will not be
responsible for any delays caused by the computerized reservations system
provider's failure to cooperate with Orbitz.

performance of its obligations hereunder. Unless specifically agreed upon
otherwise by Airline's representative, rental car expenses will only be

thirty (30) days of receipt of a correct invoice. Any fees not paid when due

extended by a period of time equal to the time between Orbitz's receipt of such
notice from Airline and the resolution of such dispute; provided however that in
no event will Airline pay less than the monthly minimum transaction fee set

the payment of, any and all such taxes that may be due or payable. For the
avoidance of doubt, Airline shall pay all sales and use taxes that are lawfully
imposed by any governmental authority in the United States and are based on or
measured by any payments of Airline pursuant to this Agreement, and for which no
exemption is available. Orbitz shall pay all taxes that are: (i) on, based on,
or measured by, gross or net income or gross or net receipts (including any
capital gains taxes or minimum taxes) of Orbitz, or taxes which are capital,
doing business, excess profits, net worth, or franchise taxes of Orbitz; (ii)
caused by or arising out of the willful misconduct or negligence of Orbitz; or
(iii) any interest, additions to tax, or penalties associated with the taxes set
forth in (i) or (ii) above.
No sales tax shall be collected by Orbitz if: (i) a specific exemption applies
to (a) the Products or Services purchased hereunder, or (b) any transaction
occurring pursuant to this Agreement, (ii) Airline has provided Orbitz with
written confirmation that Airline is authorized to make tax payments directly to
the applicable taxing authorities, or (iii) Orbitz is obligated to pay the taxes
as set forth herein. Orbitz shall promptly, upon receipt from any tax authority
of any levy, notice, assessment, or withholding of any tax for which Airline may
be obligated, notify Airline in writing directed to the following address:
Senior Tax Counsel, Northwest Airlines, Inc., Dept. A4450, 0000 Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxx,
Xx. Xxxx, XX 00000-0000.
If under the applicable law of the taxing jurisdiction Airline is allowed
directly to contest such tax in its own name, then Airline shall be entitled, at
its own expense and in its own name, to contest the imposition, validity,
applicability or amount of such tax and, to the extent permitted by law,
withhold payment during pendency of such contest. If Airline is not permitted by
law to contest such tax in its own name, upon Airline's request, Orbitz shall in
good faith and using best efforts, at Airline's expense, contest the imposition,
validity, applicability or amount of such tax. Orbitz shall in good faith and
using best efforts: (i) supply Airline with such information and documents
reasonably requested by Airline as are necessary or advisable for Airline to (a)
recover or seek a refund of any sales or use tax paid by Airline as a result of
this Agreement; or (b) control or participate in any proceeding to the extent
permitted herein, and (ii) reasonably assist Airline with evidentiary and
procedural development of any such proceeding or contest.
Upon Airline's request, Orbitz shall delineate the fees among the Component
Portions of the Service contracted for in this Agreement. The term "Component
Portions" for purposes of this paragraph shall include, but is not limited to:

this Agreement, including the fees set forth in Exhibit D, will be at least as
favorable or more favorable than the financial terms of any other current or
prospective Orbitz customer that engages Orbitz for a project that is
substantially similar to the engagement contemplated herein. The determination
of what is and is not "substantially similar" will be based on relevant factors
such as scope of project, volume of transactions, amount of integration and
custom development work required, and pricing model. Any change in financial
terms pursuant to this clause will only be applied on a prospective basis,
effective as of the effective date of such other customer's agreement with
Orbitz, whether such agreement is effective before or after the Effective Date.

maintain such records during the Term and for seven (7) years following any
expiration or termination of this Agreement. Within five (5) days following the
end of each applicable month, Orbitz will provide Airline with written reports
of such information. Airline will have the right, upon not less than five (5)
days prior notice, to conduct an audit of the information included in such
monthly reports. If such an audit reveals that any of Orbitz's reports submitted
overstated amounts owed by Airline, then Orbitz shall pay to Airline, within
thirty (30) days following the conclusion of such audit, the amount of any such
overpayments.

collectively called the "Airline Indemnified Parties") from and against any and

resulting from: (i) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of any employee
or Subcontractor of Orbitz; (ii) breach of any warranty of Orbitz contained in

patent, copyright, trademark, trade name, trade secret or other proprietary or
intellectual property right by any software or service provided pursuant to this

12.2 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES.
(a) Promptly after any party entitled to indemnification
under this Section 12 ("Indemnitee") obtains knowledge of the potential
existence or commencement of a Claim, in respect of which Indemnitee is or may
be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, such Indemnitee will
promptly notify the other party ("Indemnitor") of such Claim in writing;
provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any
rights of Indemnitee except to the extent that the rights of Indemnitor are
actually prejudiced thereby. Indemnitor will assume the defense and settlement
of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee at Indemnitor's
sole risk and expense; provided, however, that Indemnitee (i) will be permitted
to join in the defense and settlement of such Claim and to employ counsel at its
own expense; (ii) will reasonably cooperate with Indemnitor in the defense and
any settlement of such Claim; and (iii) will have the right to pay or settle
such Claim at any time in which event Indemnitee will be deemed to have waived
any right to indemnification therefor by Indemnitor. Indemnitor
CONFIDENTIAL Page 15
may settle any Claim without Indemnitee's written consent unless such settlement
(A) does not include a release of all covered claims pending against Indemnitee;
(B) contains an admission of liability or wrongdoing by Indemnitee; or (C)
imposes any obligations upon Indemnitee other than an obligation to stop using
any infringing items.
(b) If Indemnitor fails to assume the defense of such
Claim or, having assumed the defense and settlement of such Claim, fails
reasonably to contest such Claim in good faith, Indemnitee, without waiving its
right to indemnification, may assume the defense and settlement of such Claim;
provided, however, that Indemnitor (i) may join in the defense and settlement of
such Claim and employ counsel at its own expense and (ii) will cooperate with
Indemnitee in the defense and settlement of such Claim. Indemnitee may settle
such Claim without Indemnitor's written consent unless such settlement (A) does
not include a release of all covered Claims pending against Indemnitor; (B)
contains an admission of liability or wrongdoing by Indemnitor; or (C) imposes
any obligations upon Indemnitor other than an obligation to stop using any
infringing items. Indemnitor will be liable to Indemnitee for all costs and
expenses incurred in connection with the defense and settlement of any Claim
pursuant to this Section 12.2(b).
(c) Upon a determination of liability in respect of this
Section 12, Indemnitor will pay Indemnitee the amount so determined within
thirty (30) business days after the date of such determination. If there should
be a dispute as to the amount or manner of determination of any indemnity
obligation owed under this Agreement, Indemnitor will nevertheless pay when due
such portion, if any, of the obligation as will not be subject to dispute. Upon
the payment in full of any claim, either by setoff or otherwise, the party or
entity making payment will be subrogated to the rights of Indemnitee against any
person, firm, corporation or other entity with respect to the subject matter of
such claim.
12.3 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY REMEDIES. In the event of a Claim under
Section 12.1(a)(iii) above, and in addition to all other obligations of Orbitz
in this Section 12, Orbitz will either (a) provide Airline with reasonable
assurances acceptable to Airline that Airline will continue to have the right to
use the affected products or services or (b) Orbitz will, at its expense, either
(i) procure for Airline the right to continue use of such infringing products or
services, or any component thereof; or (ii) replace or modify the same with
non-infringing products or services satisfactory to Airline, provided that
Orbitz will provide Airline with a comparable temporary replacement product or
reimburse Airline for the reasonable costs incurred by Airline in obtaining an
alternative product in the event Airline cannot use the affected product. If
Orbitz cannot accomplish any of the foregoing within a reasonable time and at
commercially reasonable rates, then Orbitz will accept the return of the
infringing component of the products or services, along with any other
components of any products rendered unusable by Airline as a result of the
infringing component, and refund the price paid to Orbitz for such components.
13. NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES

of the Deposit Materials. Upon receipt of such notice, DSI shall provide a copy
of the notice to Depositor by facsimile and overnight courier.
4.3 CONTRARY INSTRUCTIONS. From the date DSI transmits the notice requesting
release of the Deposit Materials, Depositor shall have two (2) business days to
deliver to DSI contrary instructions ("Contrary Instructions"). Contrary
Instructions shall mean the written representation by Depositor that a Release
Condition has not occurred or has been cured. Upon receipt of Contrary
Instructions, DSI shall send a copy to Preferred Beneficiary by facsimile and
overnight courier. After transmitting Contrary Instructions to DSI, Depositor
shall have ten (10) calendar days to provide Preferred Beneficiary with material
information which establishes that none of the Release Conditions have occurred
("Material Information"). A copy of the Material Information shall be
simultaneously sent to DSI. If Depositor provides such Material Information to
Preferred Beneficiary, DSI shall notify both Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary
that there is a dispute to be resolved pursuant to Section 7.3 of this
Agreement. Subject to Section 5.2 of this Agreement, DSI will continue to store
the Deposit Materials without release pending (a) joint instructions from
Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary; (b) dispute resolution pursuant to Section
7.3; or (c) order of a court.
4.4 RELEASE OF DEPOSIT. If DSI does not receive Contrary Instructions from the
Depositor or if Depositor does not provide Material Information to Preferred
Beneficiary, DSI is authorized to release the Deposit Materials to the Preferred
Beneficiary or, if more than one beneficiary is registered to the deposit, to
release a copy of the Deposit Materials to the Preferred Beneficiary. However,
DSI is entitled to receive any fees due DSI before making the release. Any
copying expense in excess of $300 will be chargeable
to Preferred Beneficiary. Upon any such release, the escrow arrangement will
terminate as it relates to the Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary involved in
the release.
4.5 RIGHT TO USE FOLLOWING RELEASE. Unless otherwise provided in the License
Agreement, upon release of the Deposit Materials in accordance with this Article
4, Preferred Beneficiary shall have the right to use the Deposit Materials for
the sole purpose of continuing the benefits afforded to Preferred Beneficiary by
the License Agreement. Preferred Beneficiary shall be obligated to maintain the
confidentiality of the released Deposit Materials.
ARTICLE 5 -- TERM AND TERMINATION
5.1 TERM OF AGREEMENT. The initial term of this Agreement is for a period of one
year. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew from year-to-year
unless (a) Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary jointly instruct DSI in writing
that the Agreement is terminated; or (b) DSI instructs Depositor and Preferred
Beneficiary in writing that the Agreement is terminated for nonpayment in
accordance with Section 5.2 or by resignation in accordance with Section 5.3. If
the Acceptance Form has been signed at a date later than this Agreement, the
initial term of the Acceptance Form will be for one year with subsequent terms
to be adjusted to match the anniversary date of this Agreement. If the Deposit
Materials are subject to another escrow agreement with DSI, DSI reserves the
right, after the initial one year term, to adjust the anniversary date of this
Agreement to match the then prevailing anniversary date of such other escrow
arrangements.
5.2 TERMINATION FOR NONPAYMENT. In the event of the nonpayment of fees owed to
DSI, DSI shall provide written notice of delinquency to the parties to this
Agreement affected by such delinquency. Any such party shall have the right to
make the payment to DSI to cure the default. If the past due payment is not
received in full by DSI within one month of the date of such notice, then at any
time thereafter DSI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement to the
extent it relates to the delinquent party by sending written notice of
termination to such affected parties. DSI shall have no obligation to take any
action under this Agreement so long as any payment due to DSI remains unpaid.
5.3 TERMINATION BY RESIGNATION. DSI reserves the right to terminate this
Agreement, for any reason, by providing Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary with
60-days' written notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement. Within the
60-day period, the Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary may provide DSI with
joint written instructions authorizing DSI to forward the Deposit Materials to
another escrow company and/or agent or other designated recipient. If DSI does
not receive said joint written instructions within 60 days of the date of DSI's
written termination notice, then DSI shall destroy, return or otherwise deliver
the Deposit Materials in accordance with Section 5.4.
5.4 DISPOSITION OF DEPOSIT MATERIALS UPON TERMINATION. Subject to the foregoing
termination provisions, and upon termination of this Agreement, DSI shall
destroy, return, or otherwise deliver the Deposit Materials in accordance with
instructions. If there are no instructions, DSI may, at its sole discretion,
destroy the Deposit Materials or return them to Depositor. DSI shall have no
obligation to destroy or return the Deposit Materials if the Deposit Materials
are subject to another escrow agreement with DSI or have been released to the
Preferred Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4.4.
5.5 SURVIVAL OF TERMS FOLLOWING TERMINATION. Upon termination of this Agreement,
the following provisions of this Agreement shall survive:
a. Depositor's Representations (Section 1.5);
b. The obligations of confidentiality with respect to the Deposit Materials;
c. The rights granted in the sections entitled Right to Transfer Upon Release
(Section 3.3) and Right to Use Following Release (Section 4.5), if a
release of the Deposit Materials has occurred prior to termination;
d. The obligation to pay DSI any fees and expenses due;
e. The provisions of Article 7; and
f. Any provisions in this Agreement which specifically state they survive the
termination of this Agreement.
ARTICLE 6 -- DSI'S FEES
6.1 FEE SCHEDULE. DSI is entitled to be paid its standard fees and expenses
applicable to the services provided. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement
or agreed in a writing signed by DSI, Depositor will pay DSI's fees. DSI shall
notify the party responsible for payment of DSI's fees at least sixty (60) days
prior to any increase in fees. For any service not listed on DSI's standard fee
schedule, DSI will provide a quote prior to rendering the service, if requested.
6.2 PAYMENT TERMS. DSI shall not be required to perform any service unless the
payment for such service and any outstanding balances owed to DSI are paid in
full. Fees are due upon receipt of a signed contract or receipt of the Deposit
Materials whichever is earliest. If invoiced fees are not paid, DSI may
terminate this Agreement in accordance with Section 5.2.
ARTICLE 7 -- LIABILITY AND DISPUTES
7.1 RIGHT TO RELY ON INSTRUCTIONS. DSI may act in reliance upon any instruction,
instrument, or signature reasonably believed by DSI to be genuine. DSI may
assume that any employee of a party to this Agreement who gives any written
notice, request, or instruction has the authority to do so. DSI shall not be
required to inquire into the truth or evaluate the merit of any statement or
representation contained in any notice or document. DSI shall not be responsible
for failure to act as a result of causes beyond the reasonable control of DSI.
7.2 INDEMNIFICATION. Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary each agree to
indemnify, defend and hold harmless DSI from any and all claims, actions,
damages, arbitration fees and expenses, costs, attorney's fees and other
liabilities ("Liabilities") incurred by DSI relating in any way to this escrow
arrangement unless such Liabilities were caused solely by the negligence or
willful misconduct of DSI.
7.3 DISPUTE RESOLUTION. Any dispute relating to or arising from this Agreement
shall be resolved by arbitration using a panel of three (3) arbitrators under
the Commercial Rules of the American Arbitration Association. Three arbitrators
shall be selected. The Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary shall each select one
arbitrator and the two chosen arbitrators shall select the third arbitrator, or
failing agreement on the selection of the third arbitrator, the American
Arbitration Association shall select the third arbitrator. However, if DSI is a
party to the arbitration, DSI shall select the third arbitrator. Unless
otherwise agreed by Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary, arbitration will take
place in Chicago, Illinois, USA. Any court having jurisdiction over the matter
may enter judgment on the award of the arbitrators. Service of a petition to
confirm the arbitration award may be made by First Class mail or by commercial
express mail, to the attorney for the party or, if unrepresented, to the party
at the last known business address.
7.4 CONTROLLING LAW. This Agreement is to be governed and construed in
accordance with the laws of
New York, without regard to its conflict of law
provisions.
7.5 NOTICE OF REQUESTED ORDER. If any party intends to obtain an order from the
arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction which may direct DSI to take,
or refrain from taking any action, that party shall:
a. Give DSI at least two business days' prior notice of the hearing;
b. Include in any such order that, as a precondition to DSI's obligation, DSI
be paid in full for any past due fees and be paid for the reasonable value
of the services to be rendered pursuant to such order; and
c. Ensure that DSI not be required to deliver the original (as opposed to a
copy) of the Deposit Materials if DSI may need to retain the original in
its possession to fulfill any of its other escrow duties.
ARTICLE 8 -- GENERAL PROVISIONS
8.1 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, which includes the Acceptance Form and
Exhibits described herein, embodies the entire understanding among all of the
parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all previous
communications, representations or understandings, either oral or written. DSI
is not a party to the License Agreement between Depositor and Preferred
Beneficiary and has no knowledge of any of the terms or provisions of any such
License Agreement. DSI's only obligations to Depositor or Preferred Beneficiary
are as set forth in this Agreement. No amendment or modification of this
Agreement shall be valid or binding unless signed by all the parties hereto,
except that Exhibit A need not be signed by DSI, Exhibit B need not be signed by
Preferred Beneficiary, Exhibit C need not be signed, and the Acceptance Form
need only be signed by the parties identified therein.
8.2 NOTICES. All notices, invoices, payments, deposits and other documents and

change of address. The parties shall have the right to rely on the last known
address of the other parties. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all
documents and communications may be delivered by First Class mail.
8.3 SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be
invalid, voidable or unenforceable, the parties agree that unless it materially
affects the entire intent and purpose of this Agreement, such invalidity,
voidability or unenforceability shall affect neither the validity of this
Agreement nor the remaining provisions herein, and the provision in question
shall be deemed to be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision most
closely reflecting the intent and purpose of the original provision.
8.4 SUCCESSORS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the
benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties. However, DSI shall have no
obligation in performing this Agreement to recognize any successor or assign of
Depositor or Preferred Beneficiary unless DSI receives clear, authoritative and
conclusive written evidence of the change of parties.
8.5 REGULATIONS. Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary are responsible for and
