 9.    PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.  


        9.1    Ownership.

HealtheTech and its suppliers. All rights in and to the Products not expressly granted to Distributor in this Agreement are reserved by HealtheTech and its suppliers. Nothing in this Agreement will be
deemed to grant, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, a license under any of HealtheTech's existing or future patents; HealtheTech agrees that it will not assert any of its rights under such
patents against Distributor or its Affiliates based upon the use, distribution, and sublicensing by Distributor or its Affiliates or their distributors of the Products as permitted by this Agreement. 


        9.2    Enforcement.    Distributor will immediately notify HealtheTech of any infringement, misappropriation or
violation of any HealtheTech's proprietary rights. In the event of any such infringement, misappropriation or violation relating to the activities of Distributor or any of its employees, agents,
representatives or customers, Distributor will take all steps reasonably necessary to terminate the same. Distributor will immediately notify HealtheTech of any legal proceeding initiated by

preserve HealtheTech's exclusive rights in and to the HealtheTech Marks. Distributor will not adopt, use, or attempt to register any trademarks or trade names that are confusingly similar to the
HealtheTech Marks or in such a way as to create combination marks with the HealtheTech Marks. Distributor will provide HealtheTech with samples of all products and materials that contain the
HealtheTech Marks prior to their public use, distribution, or display for HealtheTech's quality assurance purposes and will obtain HealtheTech's written approval before such use, distribution, or
display. At HealtheTech's request, Distributor will modify or discontinue any use of the HealtheTech Marks if HealtheTech determines that such use does not comply with HealtheTech's
then-current trademark usage policies and guidelines. 


        9.4    Assignments.    At the end of the Term, Distributor will assign to HealtheTech or such other person or entity
as HealtheTech may designate all rights, registrations, reservations, licenses, permits and similar items made or obtained by Distributor relating to the Products, the Trademarks, or any other

exclusive remedy for any breach of this warranty reported to HealtheTech by Distributor in writing during the Device Warranty Period, at its option, repair, replace or otherwise correct any Product
that does not conform to the warranty set forth in this Section 10.1, 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 strict accordance with HealtheTech's instructions and user manual. 


        10.2    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.

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
of license fees or advance royalties made by Distributor to HealtheTech pursuant to Section 6 (to the extent that such payments have not been recouped through credits against accrued
royalties), and terminate this Agreement by written notice to Distributor, subject to Section 13 (Termination).

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

13





 

 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. 


        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. Any attempted assignment or
transfer in violation of the foregoing will be void. No assignment by Distributor, with or without HealtheTech's consent, will relieve Distributor's right to hire its own employees to assist in the
discharge of Distributor's responsibilities under this Agreement. 


        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. Paragraph captions are for convenience of reference and do not alter or limit 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. 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." 



14





 




        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. 


        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 Colorado exclusively, as such laws apply to contracts between Colorado residents
performed entirely within Colorado. Distributor agrees that upon HealtheTech's request, all disputes arising hereunder shall be adjudicated in the state and federal courts having jurisdiction over
disputes arising in Denver, Colorado, and Distributor hereby agrees to consent to the personal jurisdiction of such courts. 


        15.11    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. 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.
