This Agreement shall commence on the Commencement Date and, subject to earlier termination by Uni-Pixel under clause 2.2, termination by CIT as provided in clause 5.5, or termination by either party pursuant to clause 12.1, shall continue in force for a fixed period of six months, except as extended pursuant to clause 2.2 (the Term).







 



	
2.2  

	
Notwithstanding clause 2.1, Uni-Pixel shall be entitled to:







 




  





3











  






 



	
(a)  

	
terminate this Agreement upon not less than 30 days' written notice to CIT with effect from the expiry of 16 weeks from the Commencement Date; or







 



	
(b)  

	
extend the term until 31 October 2015 by not less than 30 days written notice to CIT given at any time prior to 31 August 2015 (subject always to clause 3.3).







 



	
3  

	
Orders for Product







 



	
3.1  

	
Uni-Pixel shall, on the Commencement Date, provide an initial binding purchase order for the supply of Product by CIT during the four month period from the Commencement Date (the Initial Purchase Order).







 



	
3.2  

	
The Initial Purchase Order shall, for the avoidance of doubt, contain the following requirements:







 



	
(a)  

	
a volume of 11,500 linear metres of Product per week for 16 consecutive weeks; and







 



	
(b)  

	
an ex works (Cambridge) price to Uni-Pixel of US$7.90 per linear metre (such price calculated by CIT on the basis of a film cost of $24 per square metre and a PET film cost of $2.32 per square metre) as set out in more detail in clause 4.1).







 



	
3.3  

	
If Uni-Pixel wishes to extend the Term of this Agreement as set out in clause 2.2(b), such extension shall be subject to Uni-Pixel purchasing monthly quantities of Product equivalent to the requirements set out in the Initial Purchase Order, and the notification of extension under clause 2.2(b) shall be accompanied by a purchase order consistent with such requirement; provided however, that if Uni-Pixel has no further requirements for the Product to be manufactured by CIT during such extended Term, then clause 4.4 shall be applicable. Any requirement for monthly quantities different from those set out in the Initial Purchase Order shall be subject to CIT's prior written agreement.







 



	
3.4  

	
CIT shall use all reasonable endeavours to procure PET film and other production materials required for the Product, based on an assumption as to six months' requirements by Uni-Pixel (namely, 26 weeks at 11,500 linear metres per week, totalling 299,000 linear metres). Such procurement may, however, be subject to minimum volumes (which may be such as to enable the manufacture of higher volumes of Product than required under this Agreement) and shall be undertaken by CIT solely on the basis that Uni-Pixel shall purchase all of CIT’s inventory of materials (including any unused PET film) at cost, to the extent that such materials represent the unused quantity by reference to the six months assumed requirement set out in this clause 3.4.







 



	
3.5  

	
Any additional purchase order for the manufacture of Product at any time during the remaining period of the Term shall be:







 



	
(a)  

	
considered in good faith by CIT;







 



	
(b)  

	
subject to payment in full in advance by Uni-Pixel; and







 



	
(c)  

	
subject to written agreement between CIT and Uni-Pixel not less than 30 days prior to the commencement of manufacture by CIT;







 




  





4











  






 


provided always that, for the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Agreement shall require CIT to manufacture Product following the expiry of the Term.


 



	
4  

	
Price and Payment







 



	
4.1  

	
The value of the Initial Purchase Order shall be US$1,453,600 (on the basis of 11,500 linear metres per week at US$7.90 per linear metre (US$90,850 per week) for an aggregate period of 16 weeks). Such price shall be exclusive of any applicable Value Added Tax, excise duties or any other sales tax payable in respect of the Product.







 



	
4.2  

	
The amount set out in clause 4.1 shall be invoiced by CIT monthly not less than 30 days in advance of the relevant production activity, and Uni-Pixel shall settle invoices in full within 30 days, so that each instalment of the Price (US$363,400 per instalment under the Initial Purchase Order) shall be made by Uni-Pixel to CIT (in cleared funds into CIT's designated bank account) prior to the commencement of the relevant Product production. The first instalment payment of US$363,400 under the Initial Purchase Order shall be made on the Commencement Date.







 



	
4.3  

	
Uni-Pixel shall confirm each payment and its details at the time of payment to a nominated CIT contract manager.







 



	
4.4  

	
If, in respect of any extension of the Agreement pursuant to clause 2.2(b), Uni-Pixel has no further requirements for Product to be manufactured by CIT and only requires training and knowledge transfer assistance from CIT pursuant to clause 9.1, CIT shall, in consideration of the delivery of such assistance, only charge Uni-Pixel the direct employment costs and other direct costs reasonably incurred by CIT in connection with the delivery of such training and knowledge transfer assistance.







 



	
5  

	
Delivery of Product







 



	
5.1  

	
CIT shall use reasonable endeavours to achieve the Product delivery timescales set out in the Initial Purchase Order (and any subsequent purchase order) but, for the avoidance of doubt, time of delivery shall not be of the essence.







 



	
5.2  

	
To the extent that the delivery of any Product is in excess of 7 days overdue (by reference to the date set out in the relevant purchase order), CIT shall allow Uni-Pixel a refund of the Price in direct proportion to the extent of the delay (so that, by way of illustration, 10 days' delay in respect of a delivery of Product due in June will result in a refund to Uni-Pixel of 3/30 (10%) of the order value for the June delivery) or in accordance with such other formula as shall be agreed in writing by Uni-Pixel.







 



	
5.3  

	
The amount of any such refund as shall be payable under clause 5.2 may, as appropriate, be off-set against any payment due to CIT in respect of the succeeding month's delivery.







 



	
5.4  

	
In respect of any late payment of the Price, CIT shall be entitled to reduce the production quantity of Product in direct proportion to the delayed payment (so that 3 days' delay in payment of a June invoice will result in 3/30 (10%) reduction in quantity of Product delivered pursuant to such invoice).







 



	
5.5  

	
Without prejudice to clause 5.4, if any payment in respect of the Price remains outstanding for 7 days following CIT's written reminder to Uni-Pixel, CIT shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement (and, for the avoidance of doubt, the FLT Licence and any other royalty or licensing agreement entered into between the parties co-incident with this Agreement) by immediate written notice to Uni-Pixel







 




  





5











  






 



	
6  

	
Manufacture of Product







 



	
6.1  

	
CIT shall manufacture Product in accordance with the manufacturing specification set out in schedule 1 (the Specification). A certificate of conformity (“CofC”) confirming that each lot meets the Specification as detailed in Schedule 1 shall be delivered to Uni-pixel prior to the receipt of the shipment at Uni-Pixel. The CofC shall be electronically delivered in Excel form and in .csv  form to Incoming.Quality@unipixel.com  to allow for automatic data processing.







 



	
6.2  

	
Save in respect of CIT's obligations under clause 6.1, CIT gives no warranties, representations or undertakings whatsoever (whether express or implied by statute or otherwise) in connection with the manufacture of the Product. In particular, any implied warranties as to quality or fitness for purpose are expressly excluded.







 



	
6.3  

	
To the extent that Uni-Pixel believes that any Product does not comply with the Specification, it shall promptly inform CIT of the alleged defect, with as much supporting information as is available to Uni-Pixel at such time.







 



	
6.4  

	
Upon receipt of any notification under clause 6.3, CIT shall investigate the alleged defect, using CIT's own testing standards and procedures and shall promptly communicate its findings to Uni-Pixel with a view to ensuring that, within 5 Business Days of  notification by Uni-Pixel, the parties shall have agreed whether the Product in question does, in fact, meet the Specification. Each party shall act reasonably in connection with any such discussion and determination.







 



	
6.5  

	
Where the parties agree pursuant to clause 6.4 that Product does not meet the Specification, CIT's sole liability shall be promptly to manufacture replacement Product on behalf of Uni-Pixel at CIT’s own cost.







 



	
6.6  

	
In addition to, and without limiting Uni-Pixel's rights under clause 6.5, Uni-Pixel shall be entitled to require, by written notification to CIT, that up to 10% by volume of any Product delivery by CIT shall be replaced by CIT at its own cost within 10 Business Days of the date of such notification. In exercising its rights under this clause 6.6, Uni-Pixel shall act in good faith and shall deliver reasonable supporting data to CIT but, for the avoidance of doubt, the replacement shall not be conditional upon the parties agreeing that there is a defect in the relevant Product. For the avoidance of doubt, CIT shall have no further liability whatsoever to Uni-Pixel in respect of any Product replaced by it under this clause 6.6 except as provided in clause 7.







 



	
7  

	
Liability







 



	
7.1  

	
Nothing in this Agreement shall exclude or restrict the liability of either party in respect of:







 



	
(a)  

	
death or personal injury caused by the negligence of that party or its employees; or







 



	
(b)  

	
fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.







 



	
7.2  

	
Save to the extent expressly set out in clauses 5.2, 6.5, 6.6 or 7.1 CIT shall have no liability whatsoever to Uni-Pixel in respect of the manufacturing, training and knowledge transfer obligations of CIT under this Agreement.







 



	
7.3  

	
Without prejudice to clause 7.1, CIT's liability under this Agreement, whether under contract, tort (including negligence) breach of statutory duty or otherwise howsoever arising, shall not exceed the aggregate amounts actually paid to CIT by Uni-Pixel hereunder.







 



	
7.4  

	
Without prejudice to clause 7.1, neither party shall be liable to the other in respect of:







 




  





6











  






 



	
(a)  

	
loss of profit (save in respect of CIT's liability to pay profit to Uni-Pixel pursuant to clause 8);







 



	
(b)  

	
loss of business or business opportunity;







 



	
(c)  

	
loss of anticipated savings;







 



	
(d)  

	
loss of goodwill or damage to reputation; or







 



	
(e)  

	
any indirect, special or consequential losses whatsoever (even where one party has been advised of the possibility of such losses).







 



	
8  

	
Profit







 



	
8.1  

	
In recognition of the limited extent of warranties, liabilities and indemnities given by CIT under this Agreement, CIT shall, within 45 days of the end of the Term (save where this Agreement has been terminated by CIT under clauses 5.5 or 12.1), pay to Uni-Pixel an amount equal to the profit generated by CIT in relation to the sale to Uni-Pixel of the Product.







 



	
8.2  

	
For the purposes of this clause 8, an outline profit forecast is set out in schedule 2, identifying the accounting principles that shall be applied in calculating the amount (if any) of profit made by CIT and subject to distribution to Uni-Pixel. Any payment by CIT under clause 8.1 shall be accompanied by a detailed breakdown demonstrating, in accordance with the principles set out in schedule 2, the way in which any such profit payment has been calculated.







 



	
8.3  

	
CIT shall act reasonably throughout the Term in relation to the operation of its Product manufacturing business, which shall be conducted in the normal way, aiming to maximise profit as CIT would in the normal course of its business. Provided always that costs associated with the closure of the Product manufacturing business (including employee contract termination costs) shall not be included in the calculation pursuant to this clause 8.







 



	
8.4  

	
CIT shall maintain, and shall disclose to Uni-Pixel upon request, financial records showing the performance of the Product manufacturing business during the Term in order to assist in calculating or addressing any dispute in relation to any amount due under this clause 8.







 



	
9  

	
Training and knowledge transfer







 



	
9.1  

	
CIT shall, on the understanding that it is Uni-Pixel's intention to transfer the Product manufacturing process within 100 days of the Commencement Date, provide reasonable assistance to:







 



	
(a)  

	
train Uni-Pixel staff at CIT's (Cambridge) premises in the operation of the E&R Coating Line;







 



	
(b)  

	
make relevant CIT personnel available to travel to Colorado Springs to train Uni-Pixel personnel in the operation of the Colorado E&R coating line (it being acknowledged that CIT is not entitled, under relevant employment contracts, to force any individual to undertake such overseas trip(s));







 



	
(c)  

	
train Uni-Pixel staff at CIT’s (Cambridge) premises in the manufacture of ink;







 



	
(d)  

	
advise on the procurement of inks, chemicals and equipment necessary to manufacture the Product; and







 




  





7











  






 



	
(e)  

	
disclose all chemical, material, and consumable items needed to run the Product manufacture process within 5 days of the Commencement Date (including manufacturers, specific part numbers and specification requirements), and to make CIT personnel available to review and approve suitable replacements to this list in the event that exact copies are not available.







 



	
9.2  

	
The parties acknowledge and agree that the obligations of CIT under clause 9.1 remain subject to CIT's obligation to manufacture the Product pursuant to clause 6 and, accordingly, the parties will co-operate fully to ensure that CIT's respective manufacturing and training and knowledge transfer priorities are discussed and agreed between the parties. Uni-Pixel acknowledges and agrees, in addition, that the ability of CIT to deliver training and knowledge transfer under this clause 9, particularly in relation to any extension of the Term under clause 2.2(b), is likely adversely to be effected by the expiration of contracts of employment of relevant CIT personnel during such period.







 



	
9.3  

	
Any reasonable costs and expenses incurred by CIT in relation to this clause 9 (including financial incentives required to procure the relevant CIT staff to undertake such duties, and flights, hotels and subsistence) shall be reimbursed by Uni-Pixel within 30 days of submission of the relevant claim by CIT (failing which CIT shall be entitled to cease all further such assistance). Wherever practicable such costs and expenses shall be agreed with Uni-Pixel in advance.







 



	
9.4  

	
CIT shall reasonably assist in bringing up the Colorado E&R coating line as described under clause 9.1, to the same operational capability as the E&R Coating Line, targeting completion of transfer within 100 days from the Commencement Date. However, CIT gives no warranty, undertaking or representation whatsoever:







 



	
(a)  

	
that the performance by CIT of its obligations under clause 9.1 shall be sufficient to enable Uni-Pixel to achieve such objective; or







 



	
(b)  

	
as to the condition or specification of the Colorado E&R coating line (which is not, at the Commencement Date, in an approved state)







 


and Uni-Pixel acknowledges and agrees that it will need to procure equipment and contract vendors, and provide suitably qualified staff, to achieve the same specification as the E&R Coating Line.


 



	
10  

	
Change management







 



	
10.1  

	
No changes to this Agreement (including any change by CIT to the Specification or manufacturing processes relating to the Product) shall be made without the written approval of duly authorised representatives of both parties.







 



	
11  

	
Confidentiality







 



	
11.1  

	
Neither party shall:







 



	
(a)  

	
use Confidential Information of the other party other than for the purposes of this Agreement;







 



	
(b)  

	
disclose the other party's Confidential Information to any third party without the prior written consent of the other party; nor







 




  





8











  






 



	
(c)  

	
fail to take all reasonable precautions to ensure that all Confidential Information of the other party is treated as confidential and is not disclosed (save as aforesaid) or used other than for the purposes of this Agreement.







 



	
11.2  

	
Each party undertakes to the other to take all such steps as shall from time to time be reasonable to ensure compliance with the provisions of clause 11.1 above by its employees agents consultants and sub-contractors.







 



	
11.3  

	
Without prejudice to any other rights or remedies that either party may have, each party acknowledges and agrees that if Confidential Information is used or disclosed other than in accordance with the terms of the Agreement, that party shall, without proof of special damage, be entitled to seek an injunction, specific performance or other equitable relief in respect of such misuse, in addition to any damages or other remedy to which it may be entitled.







 



	
11.4  

	
Neither party shall issue any press release or other public document containing, or make any public statement containing or otherwise disclose to any person who is not a party to this Agreement its involvement in this Agreement or information which relates to or is connected with or arises out of this Agreement or matters contained in it without the prior written consent of the other party (which shall not be unreasonably withheld) unless required to do so by any relevant law.







 



	
11.5  

	
The obligations contained in this clause 11 shall continue in force for twenty four (24) months after the termination of this Agreement.







 



	
11.6  

	
The obligation of confidentiality under this clause 11 shall not extend to Confidential Information which the receiving party can prove:







 



	
(a)  

	
has ceased to be secret without default on the recipient’s part;







 



	
(b)  

	
was already in the recipient’s possession prior to disclosure by the provider;







 



	
(c)  

	
has been received from a third party who did not acquire it in confidence; or







 



	
(d)  

	
is required to be disclosed by law or a regulatory authority.







 



	
12  

	
Termination







 



	
12.1  

	
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, this Agreement may be terminated by either party if:







 



	
(a)  

	
the other party is subject to an Insolvency Event; or







 



	
(b)  

	
the other party commits a material breach of any terms of this Agreement which (in the case of a breach capable of being remedied) is not remedied (to the reasonable satisfaction of the party requesting the breach to be remedied) within 14 days of a written request to remedy the same;







 



	
(c)  

	
the other party commits a material irremediable breach of this Agreement.







 




  





9











  






 



	
13  

	
Effect of termination







 



	
13.1  

	
In the event that this Agreement is terminated at any time or expires then each party shall immediately return to the other party all of that other party's Confidential Information except in so far as, and then only for so long, as it is a requirement of relevant law to retain copies of such Confidential Information.







 



	
13.2
