The prevailing party in any action arising out of this Agreement shall be entitled to an award of its costs and attorneys' fees. This Agreement may be amended only by a writing executed by The Echo Nest. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable for any reason, such provision shall be reformed only to the extent necessary to make it enforceable. The failure of The Echo Nest to act with respect to a breach of this Agreement by Licensee or others does not constitute a waiver and shall not limit The Echo Nest's rights with respect to such breach or any subsequent breaches. This Agreement is personal to Licensee and may not be assigned or transferred for any reason whatsoever (including, without limitation, by operation of law, merger, reorganization, or as a result of an acquisition or change of control involving Licensee) without The Echo Nest's prior written consent and any action or conduct in violation of the foregoing shall be void and without effect.
