5.      
     Confidentiality.





5.1          Nondisclosure.  Confidential
Information of each party is the exclusive property of such
party.  Confidential Information of either party may be used by the
other party only in connection with the performance of this Agreement or the
exercise of the licenses set forth in this Agreement.  Each party will
protect the confidentiality of Confidential Information of the other party in
the same manner that it protects the confidentiality of its own proprietary and
confidential information of a similar nature, including, without limitation, by
entering into appropriate confidentiality agreements with employees, independent
contractors and subcontractors.  Access to and use of Confidential
Information will be restricted to those of Seller’s and Buyer’s employees or
contractors engaged in a use permitted under this Agreement and who have been
apprised of the confidential nature of such information.  Each party
will be responsible for any breaches of this Section 5 by its employees or
contractors.





5.2          Disclosure Upon
Process.  In the event either party receives a subpoena, or
other validly-issued administrative or judicial process, requesting that
Confidential Information of the other party be disclosed, it will promptly
notify the other party of such receipt.  The party receiving such
request will thereafter be entitled to comply with such subpoena or other
process, only to the extent required by applicable Law; provided that any
receiving party that is required by applicable Law to disclose any Confidential
Information shall provide, so far as practicable and subject to compliance with
Law, the providing party with prompt prior written notice of such request or
requirement, and shall cooperate with the providing party to seek an appropriate
protective order or other remedy or to take steps to resist or narrow the scope
of such request or legal process.





5.3          Breach.  Breach
or threatened breach of this Section 5 could cause irreparable harm to the
affected party and such party shall be entitled, without first exhausting other

be available to it.





6.        
   Patent
Prosecution;Defense and Enforcement of
Licensed Technology.





6.1          Prosecution.





(a)           Should
Buyer determine that any patent applications covering any of the Licensed
Technology are desired, Buyermay request Seller to
file the same. Should Seller choose not to do so, from and after the Effective
Date, Buyer will then have the right, at its expense and discretion, to prepare,
file (including foreign filings), prosecute and maintain (“Prosecute”) in
Seller’s name, any patents on the Licensed Technology solely in the Buyer
Field.  Buyer shall provide Seller with copies of all patent
applications and other related material submissions and correspondence with any
patent authorities with respect to the Prosecution, so as to allow a reasonable
period of time for review by Seller.  Buyer will notify Seller, and
will provide Seller with an opportunity to consult with Buyer and its counsel
regarding any material actions to be taken or not taken in connection with
Prosecution of any patents covering any of the Licensed Technology (all such
actions to be taken or not taken, “Prosecution
Actions”).  Buyer shall take into consideration the reasonable
requests of Seller regarding Prosecution Actions provided, however, that Buyer
shall not take any Prosecution Action with respect to the Licensed Technology
that would reasonably result in the impairment of Seller’s rights with respect
to the Licensed Technology outside of the Buyer Field.  Seller shall
allow Buyer to maintain at its own expense any patents covering any of the
Licensed Technology that Seller otherwise intends to abandon or let
lapse.





(b)          From
and after the Effective Date, Seller will have the sole right, but not the
obligation, at its expense and discretion, to Prosecute, at its expense, any
patents on the Licensed Technology. If, at any time after the Effective Date,
Seller obtains any patents on the Licensed Technology, then the claims of such
patents covering the Licensed Technology will be deemed and are hereby licensed
to Buyer within the Buyer Field until the expiration of the term of the
last-to-expire of such patent rights within the Licensed Technology (including
any extension to any such patent rights) under the terms of Section
2.





6.2          Enforcement.





(a)          Notice.  During
the term of this Agreement, each of Seller and Buyer shall use reasonable
efforts to promptly inform the other in writing of any infringement of the
Licensed Technology by a third party of which it has knowledge and shall provide
the other party with any readily available information relating to such
infringement.





(b)          Defense and Enforcement only
in the Buyer Field.  Buyer shall have the first right, but not
the obligation, to pursue, institute, and control any defense or enforcement of
the Licensed Technology solely in the Buyer Field, including, without
limitation, restraining or preventing any infringement thereof, responding to
any declaratory judgment action alleging invalidity or non-infringement thereof,
or responding to any counterclaim or response by a Person in connection with an
action for enforcement thereof undertaken by Buyer as permitted
herein.  Subject to the terms set forth herein, Buyer may collect and
retain for its own use all damages, profits, settlements and awards of whatever
nature recoverable from such defense and enforcement.  Buyer shall
have the sole right, but not the obligation, to pursue, institute and control
any defense or enforcement of the Buyer Improvements within or outside of the
Buyer Field and to collect and retain for its own use, all damages, profits,
settlements and awards of whatever nature recoverable from such defense and
enforcement.





(c)          Defense and Enforcement only
outside Buyer Field.  Seller shall have the first right, but
shall not the obligation, to pursue, institute and control any defense or
enforcement of the Licensed Technology, outside the Buyer Field, including,
without limitation, restraining or preventing any infringement thereof,
responding to any declaratory judgment action alleging invalidity or
non-infringement thereof, or responding to any counterclaim or response by a
Person in connection with an enforcement action undertaken by
Seller.  Seller may collect and retain for its own use all damages,
profits, settlements and awards of whatever nature recoverable from such defense
and enforcement.





(d)          Defense and Enforcement in
and outside Buyer Field.  Seller shall retain all rights, but
shall have no obligation, to pursue, institute and control any defense or
enforcement of the Licensed Technology with respect to possible infringement
occurring both within and outside the Buyer Field; provided, however, that Buyer
will have participation rights (as set forth below) in the Buyer Field with
respect to such suit or action. If, with respect to any
possible infringement, within sixty (60) days following Buyer’s notification
that Buyer requests Seller to enforce or defend the Licensed Technology against
an alleged infringer thereof, Seller does not exercise its option to enforce or
defend such Licensed Technology then, within the Buyer Field, Buyer shall have
the right to pursue the alleged infringer or take control of any action
initiated by Seller at Buyer’s expense, and to collect for its own use all
damages, profits, settlements, and awards of whatever nature recoverable from
such enforcement.  In any such case, Seller will, to the extent
permitted under applicable Law, substitute Buyer as party plaintiff for purposes
of pursuing any alleged infringer.  Buyer will confer with Seller in
the manner that it will pursue any enforcement or defense of the Licensed
Technology pursuant to this Section 6.2(d) and will keep Seller reasonably
apprised of all notices, communications and other documentation related to such
enforcement or defense action and Seller shall have, at its cost and expense,
“participation rights” in any such actions concerning the Licensed Technology
outside the Buyer Field as set forth in Section 6.2(f) below.  The
costs of prosecuting or defending any action pursuant to this Section 6.2(d)
shall be borne by the party prosecuting or defending.  Any recoveries
from such action shall first be used to reimburse the parties for the costs of
undertaking the action. The balance shall be divided between the parties in
accordance with the percentage of infringement attributable within the Buyer
Field and outside the Buyer Field.  If the infringement is not
resolved through litigation or the court fails to allocate damages in accordance
with infringing activities within the Buyer Field and outside the Buyer Field,
the parties shall negotiate in good faith regarding the portion of the recovery
allocable to each party based upon infringement within the Buyer Field and
outside the Buyer Field.





(e)          Participation Rights.
In all instances where a party has participation rights, the party controlling
such suit or action shall provide the other party (the “Participating Party”)
with copies of all pleadings and other documents proposed to be filed and other
related material submissions and correspondence, in sufficient time to allow for
review and comment by the Participating Party.  The controlling party
shall provide the Participating Party and its counsel with an opportunity to
consult with the controlling Party regarding the filing and contents of any
documents proposed to be filed by the controlling party, and other material
submissions and correspondence.  The parties acknowledge that
information shared by a party regarding enforcement of the Licensed Technology
or Improvements is highly confidential and any disclosure of such information
shall be subject to Section 5 of this Agreement.





(f)           Counterclaims.  Notwithstanding
the provisions of Sections 6.2(b), (c) (d) and (e), in the event that any
counterclaim or response by a Person in connection with an enforcement action
undertaken by any prosecuting party is filed, where such counterclaim or
response may affect commercially valuable rights in the Licensed Technology in
which the other party has primary defense and enforcement responsibility
pursuant to this Section 6.2, such party shall have “participation rights”, at
its own expense.





(g)          Agreement to be
Joined.  At Buyer’s request and cost, Seller will join as a
party to any defense or enforcement action pursued by Buyer pursuant to this
Agreement and will cooperate and assist, in all reasonable
respects.





(h)          Settlements.  No
settlement, or consent judgment or other voluntary final disposition of a suit
regarding the Licensed Technology having effect within the Buyer Field may be
entered into by Seller without the consent of Buyer and such consent shall not
be unreasonably denied or delayed.  No settlement, or consent judgment
or other voluntary final disposition of a suit regarding the Licensed Technology
having effect outside the Buyer Field may be entered into by Buyer without the
consent of Seller and such consent shall not be unreasonably denied or
delayed.





7.          
 Term.This Agreement shall
commence as of the Effective Date and shall remain in effect in perpetuity with
respect to the Licensed Technology, and with respect to any patents issued on
the Licensed Technology, until the expiration of the term of the last-to-expire
of the patent rights within such Licensed Technology (including any extension to
any such patent rights).  Seller understands and agrees that the
Licensed Technology licensed under this Agreement is critical to Buyer’s
operations and that under no circumstances may Seller seek to cancel or
otherwise limit or terminate Buyer’s right to use the Licensed
Technology,





8.          
 Representations
and Warranties.  The parties hereto agree that the
representations and warranties in Section 5.2(p) of the Asset Purchase Agreement
shall apply equally to the Licensed Technology and Seller and Parent’s use
thereof.

assigns (a) consolidates with or merges into any other Person and shall not be
