another in the execution, performance and implementation of the terms and provisions of this
Agreement. Whenever the consent, approval or other action of a Party is required under any
provision of this Agreement, such consent, approval or other action shall not be unreasonably
withheld, delayed or conditioned by a Party unless the provision in question expressly authorizes
such Party to withhold or deny consent or approval or decline to take action in accordance with a
different standard, in which case the consent or approval or the decision to not take action may be
withheld, delayed or conditioned in accordance with the different standard.
