The Company shall not grant to a third party any rights or enter into any arrangements, amendments, or agreements that would limit or restrict Adjuvant’s rights to enforce the Global Access Commitments or the Company’s obligations to satisfy the Global Access Commitments, unless such third party expressly assumes such Global Access Commitments to the satisfaction of Adjuvant.
