Exhibit 10.1

16.4 Assignment. 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 or involuntarily, without the other Party’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned, or delayed; provided, however, that NantOmics may assign this Agreement to an Affiliate with the capability to provide and perform the NantOmics Services or in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of the assets to which this Agreement relates.

No waiver by any Party of any of the provisions hereof will be effective unless explicitly set forth in writing and signed by the Party so waiving. Except as otherwise set forth in this Agreement, no failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement will operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor will 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.

16.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or the application thereof to any Party or circumstances is declared void, illegal, or unenforceable, then the remainder of this Agreement will be valid and enforceable to the extent permitted by applicable Law.

16.9 Dispute Resolution.

(a) Informal Resolution. Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, in the event of any dispute, claim, or controversy arising under, out of, or in connection with this Agreement (a “Dispute”), including as to the breach, performance, or interpretation of this Agreement or the rights, duties or liabilities of either Party hereunder, the Parties will first attempt in good faith to resolve such Dispute by negotiation and consultation between themselves. If such Dispute is not resolved on an informal basis within thirty (30) days, each Party may, at its sole discretion, seek resolution of such matter in accordance with Section 16.9 and exercise its rights according to any other applicable sections of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, Section 14.

(b) Arbitration. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Section, if the Parties do not reach a mutually acceptable resolution pursuant to Section 16.9(a) as to a Dispute, the Dispute shall be referred for resolution by final, binding arbitration in accordance with the provisions of this Section. The arbitration shall be conducted by the American Arbitration Association (or any successor entity thereto) (“AAA”) under its rules of commercial arbitration then in effect, except as modified in this Agreement. The arbitration shall be conducted in the English language, by a single arbitrator knowledgeable in the subject matter at issue in the Dispute and acceptable to both Parties; provided, however, that the Parties may by

Page 17 of 20

Second Amended and Restated NantOmics Exclusive Reseller Agreement

CONFIDENTIAL

Exhibit 10.1

mutual agreement elect to have the arbitration conducted by a panel of three arbitrators (such single arbitrator or panel, the “Arbitrator”). The Arbitrator shall, if appropriate, engage an independent expert with experience in the subject matter of the Dispute to advise the Arbitrator.

(i) With respect to any Dispute referred to arbitration pursuant to this Section 16.9, the Parties and the Arbitrator shall use all reasonable efforts to complete any such arbitration within three (3) months from the issuance of notice of a referral of any such Dispute to arbitration. The Arbitrator shall determine what discovery will be permitted, consistent with the goal of limiting the cost and time which the Parties must expend for discovery; provided that the Arbitrator shall permit such discovery as he or she deems necessary to permit an equitable resolution of the Dispute.

(ii) The decision of the Arbitrator shall be the sole, exclusive, and binding remedy between them regarding the Dispute presented to the Arbitrator. Any decision of the Arbitrator may be entered in a court of competent jurisdiction for judicial recognition of the decision and an order of enforcement. The arbitration proceedings and the decision of the Arbitrator shall not be made public without the joint consent of the Parties, and each Party shall maintain the confidentiality of such proceedings and decision.

(iii) Unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, the arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Los Angeles, California. The Parties shall share equally the cost of the arbitration filing and hearing fees, the cost of the independent expert retained by the Arbitrator, and the cost of the Arbitrator and administrative fees of AAA. Each Party shall bear its own costs and attorneys’ and witnesses’ fees and associated costs and expenses.

(c) Temporary Relief. Pending the selection of the Arbitrator or pending the Arbitrator’s determination of the merits of any Dispute, either Party may seek appropriate interim or provisional relief from any court of competent jurisdiction as necessary to protect the rights or property of that Party.

16.10 Waiver of Jury Trial. EACH PARTY HEREBY WAIVES ITS RIGHTS TO A JURY TRIAL OF ANY CLAIM OR CAUSE OF ACTION BASED UPON OR ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREOF. THE SCOPE OF THIS WAIVER IS INTENDED TO BE ALL-ENCOMPASSING OF ANY AND ALL DISPUTES THAT MAY BE FILED IN ANY COURT AND THAT RELATE TO THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING CONTRACT CLAIMS, TORT CLAIMS (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), AND ALL OTHER COMMON LAW AND STATUTORY CLAIMS.

16.11 Equitable Relief. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement to the contrary, each Party acknowledges that a breach by a Party of this Agreement may cause the non-breaching Party immediate and irreparable harm, for which an award of damages may not be adequate compensation and agrees that, in the event of such breach or threatened breach, the non-breaching Party will be entitled to seek equitable relief, including in the form of orders for preliminary or permanent injunction, specific performance, interim or conservatory relief, and any other relief that may be available for any court, and the Parties hereby waive any requirement for the securing or posting of any bond in connection with such relief. Such remedies will not be deemed to be exclusive but will be in addition to all other remedies available under this Agreement, at law or in equity, subject to any express exclusions or limitations in this Agreement to the contrary.

16.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which together will constitute one and the same instrument. Counterparts may be

delivered by facsimile, electronic mail (including .pdf or any electronic signature complying with the U.S. Federal ESIGN Act of 2000) or other transmission method, and any counterpart so delivered will be deemed to have been duly and validly delivered and be valid and effective for all purposes.

16.13 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, together with all Exhibits and the BAA, constitutes the sole and entire agreement between the Parties solely with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous understandings and agreements, both written and oral, with respect to such subject matter.
