A mutual termination clause allows both parties in a contract to agree to end their agreement by mutual consent, effectively releasing each other from further obligations under the contract. This clause typically outlines the conditions and procedures required for both parties to initiate and formalize the termination process.
Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Agreement, the Parties mutually agree that until the Mutual Termination Effective Date, the Parties shall provide a level of time, staffing, effort and support of the Product and of the other obligations under the Agreement that is consistent with each Party’s level of engagement during January-June 2022.

● On or promptly following the Mutual Termination Effective Date, Imprimis shall cease all promotion of the Product, and shall transfer to EyePoint any websites and remove online references to the Product on any of its web pages or other promotional materials.
● For purposes of interpretation of the Agreement, as the result of the Parties’ mutual agreement to terminate the Agreement, with the exception of the survival of Agreement sections described in Section 13.6.1, any clauses of the Agreement referring to the consequences of termination by one Party or by the other Party, for any reason or for no reason, shall be null and void and of no further force or effect.
○ By way of example and not of limitation, the following sections of the Agreement are hereby null and void and of no further force or effect: 13.6.2, 13.6.3, 13.6.4, 13.6.5.
Section 13.6.1 of the Agreement is hereby amended and restated in its entirety to read as follows:

Mutual termination is a legal agreement between two parties to end a contract or agreement by mutual consent. It allows both parties to walk away from their contractual obligations without incurring penalties or liabilities typically associated with a breach of contract. This type of termination generally indicates that both parties agree that continuing the contract is not beneficial or desired.
When should I use mutual termination?
Mutual termination should be considered when both parties recognize that it is in their best interests to dissolve the contract. This could occur in several scenarios:
Changing circumstances: External factors or internal changes may make the contractual obligations impractical or unfeasible.
Lack of performance: One or both parties may not be meeting their contractual obligations, and instead of escalating to disputes, they agree to end the contract.
Amicable resolution: Both parties may wish to maintain a positive relationship by ending a contract without any negative consequences.
Strategic realignment: Organizational changes or strategy shifts might necessitate the termination of existing contracts to pursue new opportunities.
How do I write a mutual termination?
When drafting a mutual termination agreement, certain elements should be included to ensure clarity and legal enforceability:
Title: Clearly title the document as a “Mutual Termination Agreement.”
Parties: Identify all parties involved in the original agreement.
Recitals: Include background information outlining the existing agreement and the reason for termination.
Mutual Consent Clause: Explicitly state that both parties agree to terminate the contract and waive their rights to claims or actions related to the agreement.
Effective Date: Specify the date upon which the termination becomes effective.
Settlement of Obligations: Detail how remaining obligations and any unsatisfied terms will be addressed.
Release of Liability: Include clauses that release both parties from future claims arising out of the terminated contract.
Signatures: Ensure that both parties sign and date the agreement.
Which contracts typically contain mutual termination?
Mutual termination can be found in a wide range of contracts across different industries and types. Common examples include:
Employment Contracts: Where both employer and employee agree that ending the employment relationship is beneficial.
Supplier Agreements: When both a supplier and purchaser agree to end their agreement, possibly due to a change in requirements or better options elsewhere.
Lease Agreements: Where a landlord and tenant mutually agree to end a lease before it reaches its natural conclusion.
Partnership or Joint Venture Agreements: When partners in a business venture agree to dissolve the partnership due to changing business goals or objectives.
By addressing these questions, you should have a well-rounded understanding of mutual termination and how it can be applied in various contractual situations.
