distribution, or display for HealtheTech's quality assurance purposes and will obtain HealtheTech's written approval
before such use, distribution, or display, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. At HealtheTech's request, Distributor will modify or discontinue any use of the HealtheTech

designate all rights, registrations, reservations, licenses, permits and similar items made or obtained by Distributor relating to the Products, the Trademarks, or any other proprietary rights of

10.  WARRANTIES, REMEDIES AND DISCLAIMERS. 


        10.1 Device Warranty. HealtheTech warrants to and for the benefit of Distributor only that all Products, as delivered pursuant to
Section 6.2, will be free from defects in materials and workmanship in the course of normal use substantially in compliance with the instructions in the User Documentation, for a period of
twenty four (24) months after commercial sale to an End-User customer, for BodyGem devices, and for Single Use Breathing Inserts (disposables) the warranty period shall be ninety
(90) calendar days after commercial sale to an end-user customer, unless local law in the Territory dictates a longer period by law, in which the warranty period shall be in
accordance with that law but will not exceed twenty four (24) months after commercial sale to an end-user customer (the "Device Warranty
Period"). HealtheTech will, at its own expense and as its sole obligation and Distributor's exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty reported to HealtheTech by

provided that Distributor, at HealtheTech's request and Distributor's expense, returns the nonconforming Product to HealtheTech's plant; and such nonconformity is not the result of any use of the
Products other than in substantial accordance with HealtheTech's instructions and user manual. With respect to all Products that are found to be defective after the Device Warranty Period, Distributor
shall provide written notice of such defective Product to HealtheTech reasonably describing the defect. Distributor shall return and HealtheTech shall accept return of any such defective Products. In
its discretion, HealtheTech shall either repair or replace such defective Product and shall reimburse Distributor for the reasonable shipping costs of returning any defective Products. All repairs or
replacements shall be made at HealtheTech's then-prevailing rates. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 10.1, if the recall of any Products is determined
necessary by any governmental agency, then all reasonable costs of such recall will be the responsibility of HealtheTech.

rights to the proprietary technologies incorporated in the Products and owns or has secured rights to all known applicable patents, copyrights and other intellectual property thereto; (ii) with
respect to all Products sold or delivered to Distributor under the terms of this Agreement, marketable title to such devices and disposables will pass to Distributor upon delivery, free and clear of
any liens, encumbrances, or defects in title and of any claims by third parties that may interfere with Distributor's rights under this Agreement; (iii) the Products sold or delivered to
Distributor, as provided, delivered or disclosed by HealtheTech to Distributor; (iv) Distributor's use,
practice, sale, delivery, performance, marketing, distribution or commercialization thereof (without violating the applicable written instructions provided by HealtheTech), do not and will not
constitute an infringement, misappropriation or violation of any known patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark,

service mark or other intellectual property or other right of any other person or entity; and (v) when shipped to Distributor, the Products shall be in an undamaged and merchantable condition. 


        10.3 Warranties Made by Distributor. Distributor will not make or publish any representations, warranties, or guarantees on behalf of
HealtheTech or its suppliers concerning the Products that are inconsistent with any warranties made by HealtheTech concerning the Products.

Agreement, and the person signing this Agreement on such party's behalf has been duly authorized and empowered to enter into this Agreement. Each party represents and warrants it is free to enter into
and perform this Agreement without thereby being in breach of or default under the terms of any other contract, commitment or understanding.

11





 

                11.2.2 The foregoing obligations are conditioned on Distributor notifying HealtheTech promptly in writing of such action,
Distributor giving HealtheTech sole control of the defense thereof and any related settlement negotiations, and Distributor cooperating and, at HealtheTech's reasonable request and expense, assisting
in such defense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, HealtheTech shall not enter into any settlement agreement with any third party which adversely affects the rights of Distributor without the prior
written consent of Distributor, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. 



                11.2.3 If the Products or any of the HealtheTech Marks becomes, or in HealtheTech's opinion is likely to become, the subject
of an infringement claim, HealtheTech may, at its option and expense, either (a) procure for Distributor the right to continue exercising the rights licensed to Distributor in this Agreement,
(b) replace or modify the Products or such HealtheTech Mark so that it becomes non-infringing and remains functionally equivalent, or (c) refund to Distributor any payments

use of the Products in combination with other products, equipment, software, or data not supplied by HealtheTech if the Products would be non-infringing but for such combination, or
(iii) any modification of Products by any person other than HealtheTech or its authorized agents or contractors if the Products would be non-infringing but for such modification.
This Section 11.2 states HealtheTech's entire liability and Distributor's sole and exclusive remedy for infringement claims and actions. 


12.  OTHER OBLIGATIONS OF DISTRIBUTOR. 


        12.1 No Unauthorized Warranties. Distributor will not make or extend on behalf of HealtheTech any written or oral warranty in respect of

        13.5 Standards of Performance. Each party acknowledges that the standards of performance imposed on it by this Agreement are reasonable
and that any failure on its part to comply fully with all of the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement shall constitute a material breach and good cause for termination of this Agreement by
the other party. 


        13.6 Acknowledgment. Any expiration or termination of the Term will be final and absolute. Distributor waives any right, either express or
implied by applicable law or otherwise, to renewal of this Agreement or to any damages or compensation for any expiration or termination of the Term in accordance with this Section 13. Each of
the parties have considered the possibility of such expiration or termination and the possibility of loss and damage resulting therefrom in making expenditures pursuant to the performance of this
Agreement. It is the express intent and agreement of the parties that neither will be liable to the other for damages or otherwise by reason of the expiration or termination of the Term as provided
for herein. 


        13.7 Survival. Sections 2.4, 5.5, 6.7, 8, 10.1, 11, 14, and 15.5-15.12 will survive expiration or termination of this

14. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS ARISING UNDER SECTIONS 11.1 OR 11.2, EACH PARTY'S LIABILITY (WHETHER IN TORT, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE AND
NOTWITHSTANDING ANY FAULT, NEGLIGENCE (WHETHER ACTIVE, PASSIVE OR IMPUTED), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR STRICT LIABILITY) UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR WITH REGARD TO ANY PRODUCTS OR OTHER ITEMS FURNISHED UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT WILL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE COMPENSATION PAID TO HEALTHETECH UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT FOR CLAIMS ARISING UNDER SECTIONS 11.1 OR 11.2, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY
INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF ITS 


14





 


PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE OF, INABILITY TO USE, OR RESULTS OF USE OF ANY PRODUCTS. 


15.  MISCELLANEOUS. 


        15.1 Force Majeure. Neither party will be liable for, or be considered to be in breach of or default under this Agreement on account of,
any delay or failure to perform as required by this Agreement (other than for payments owed) as a result of any cause or condition beyond such party's reasonable control. The occurrence of any force
majeure event affecting the performance of either party shall extend the exclusivity set forth in Section 2.3 on a day-for-day basis during the pendency of such force
majeure event. 


        15.2 Assignment. Distributor may not assign or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any of its rights under this Agreement or
delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any third party other than Distributor's Affiliates without HealtheTech's prior written consent, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld or
delayed. HealtheTech hereby consents to the assignment of this Agreement to Microlife without the consent of HealtheTech. HealtheTech may not assign or transfer, by operation of law or otherwise, any
of its rights under this Agreement or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement to any third party other than HealtheTech's Affiliates without Distributor's prior written consent, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may assign this Agreement in connection with the sale of all or substantially all of its business or assets
without obtaining the prior written consent of the other party provided that the assignee (i) agrees to perform all of the assigning party's obligations hereunder, and (ii) is not
reasonably considered a major competitor of the non-assigning party. A major competitor includes any entity that, if it were to accept assignment of this Agreement, would result in the
non-assigning party breaching an exclusivity obligation contained in its agreements with one or more of its other business partners. Any attempted assignment or transfer in violation of
this Section 15.2 will be void. 


        15.3 Notice. Notices or consents under this Agreement will be in writing and delivered personally or, if mailed, will be sent certified
mail, return receipt requested, or by telex or facsimile or overnight express service, if addressed to the recipient s address set forth on the signature page of this Agreement, or in either
case to such other address as may be established by notice to the other party Notice will be effective only upon actual receipt. 



        15.4 Nonwaiver. The failure of either party to insist upon or enforce strict performance of any of the provisions of this Agreement or to
exercise any rights or remedies under This Agreement will not be construed as a waiver or relinquishment to any extent of such party' right to assert or rely upon any such provisions, rights or
remedies in that or any other instance; rather, the same will be and remain in full force and effect. 


        15.5 Interpretation. The English language of the Agreement will govern any interpretation of or dispute regarding the terms of this
Agreement. 


        15.6 Remedies. Except as provided in Section 10 (Warranties, Remedies and Disclaimers) and Section 11 (Indemnification), the
parties' rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Distributor acknowledges that the Products contains valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of HealtheTech, that any actual
or threatened breach of Section 9.3 (Trademark License) or Section 8 (Confidentiality) will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to HealtheTech for which monetary damages would be an
inadequate remedy, and that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach. If Distributor continues to distribute the Products after its right to do so has terminated or expired,
HealtheTech will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief without the requirement of posting bond, including an order directing that any Products that Distributor attempts to import into any country
or territory be seized, impounded, and destroyed by customs officials. HealtheTech acknowledges that any actual or threatened breach of Section 2.3 (Exclusivity) or Section 8
(Confidentiality) will constitute immediate, irreparable harm to Distributor for which monetary 


15





 


damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for any such breach. Accordingly, Distributor will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief without the
requirement of posting bond, including an order directing that HealtheTech comply with the terms of this Agreement. If any legal action is brought to enforce this Agreement, the prevailing party will
be entitled to receive its attorneys' fees, court costs, and other collection expenses, in addition to any other relief it may receive. 


        15.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the
objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing,
Distributor agrees that Section 14 (Limitation of Liability) will remain in effect notwithstanding the unenforceability of any provision in Section 10 (Warranties, Remedies and
Disclaimers). 


        15.8 Construction. The headings of Sections of this Agreement are for convenience and are not to be used in interpreting this
Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the word "including" means "including but not limited to." 


        15.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but all of which together
will constitute the same instrument. Signatures received by facsimile shall be deemed to be considered original signatures. 



        15.10 Governing Law; Venue. The rights and obligations of the parties under this agreement shall not be governed by the provisions of the
1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or the United Nations Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods, as amended; rather, these
rights and obligations shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware exclusively, as such laws apply to contracts between Delaware residents performed entirely within
Delaware. Each party agrees that all disputes arising hereunder shall be adjudicated in the state and federal courts having jurisdiction over disputes arising in either Denver, Colorado or San
Francisco, California, and Distributor hereby agrees to consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. 



        15.11 Performance Guaranty. Microlife, as the ultimate beneficial owner of Distributor, hereby guaranties the performance of Distributor
of its obligations pursuant to this Agreement. Microlife's obligations pursuant to this Section 15.11 shall be limited to directing Distributor to perform its obligations as set forth in this
Agreement and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as imposing any obligation on Microlife that is greater than the obligations on Distributor. HealtheTech shall exercise its rights pursuant
to this Section 15.11 by providing written notice to Microlife as follows and reasonably identifying the breach of the Agreement that HealtheTech wishes Microlife to cause Distributor to cure:
9F, 431, RuiGang Road, NeiHu, Taipei 114, Taiwan, R.O.C. Attn: K.Y. Lin. This Section 15.11 shall terminate if Distributor assigns this Agreement to Microlife. 


        15.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement contains the entire agreement, and supersedes any and all prior agreements, between the parties
with regard to the appointment of Distributor as a distributor of Products and Distributor's purchase and sale of Products including, without limitation, the Original Agreement. HealtheTech will not
be bound be, and specifically objects to, any terms, conditions, or other provisions that are different from or in addition to the provisions of the Agreement (whether or not it would materially alter
this correspondence, or otherwise. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, any printed terms, conditions of other provisions that are included in or accompany any of the Distributor's orders
for Products under this Agreement will not apply to be binding on HealtheTech. This Agreement may not be waived, amended or rescinded except by a writing signed by the party to be charged thereby.

Distributor's Exclusivity for the Markets and the Territories shall automatically extend through the following calendar year. Subject to Sections 2.3 and 6.1, failure by Distributor to meet or

Distributor or Service Affiliate facilities and their Products capabilities and if applicable, make suggestions for improvement based upon HealtheTech's experience with the Products. Distributor agrees to consider such suggestions and make changes it

(iv)	
 	

After at least ten (10) business days prior written notice, allow HealtheTech access to visit any Distributor or Service Affiliate location during normal business hours at HealtheTech's sole expense, to confirm calibration and proper
operation of Distributor's or Service Affiliate's BodyGem metabolic measurement devices and at HealtheTech's sole election, to upgrade or exchange out (with upgraded units) Distributor's or Distributor's Service Affiliate's BodyGem devices when and
if HealtheTech deems appropriate. All HealtheTech personnel shall comply with all policies and procedures of Distributor or any Service Affiliate when on-site at such facilities.
