Unlike Reimbursable Agreements, each partner bears the cost of its participation and no funds are exchanged between the parties. 587: 366: 346: 626: 557:"shall remain in effect until the completion of all obligations of both parties hereto, or 3 years from the date of the last signature, whichever comes first." 79: 189: 248:
