handle, process, sell or use such products, and advise such parties to
familiarize themselves with such information. Buyer agrees that products sold
hereunder will not knowingly be resold or given in sample form to persons using
or proposing to use the products for purposes contrary to recommendations given
by Seller or prohibited by law, but will be sold or given as samples only to
persons who can handle, use and dispose of the products safely. Unless agreed to
by Seller in a written agreement covering such use, in no event shall Buyer use
products or resell products for use in the manufacture of any implanted medical
device. Buyer agrees that export of any product, service or information provided
hereunder shall be in accordance with applicable Export Administration
Regulations.

     

    7. Except
as may be contained in a separate trademark license, the sale of product (even
if accompanied by documents using a trademark or trade name of Seller) does not
convey a license, express or implied, to use any trademark or trade name of
Seller, and Buyer shall not use any trademark or trade name of Seller in the
conduct of its business without Seller's prior written consent.

     

    8. The
Buyer shall reimburse the Seller for all taxes, (excluding Income taxes) excises
or other charges which the Seller may be required to pay to any Government
(National, State or Local) upon the sale, production or transportation of the
products, services, or information sold hereunder.

     

    9. In the
event Buyer falls to fulfill Seller's terms of payment, or in case Seller shall
have any doubt any time as to Buyer's financial responsibility, Seller may
decline to make further deliveries except upon receipt of cash or satisfactory
security.

     

    10. This
agreement is not assignable or transferable by Buyer, in whole or in part,
except with the prior written consent of Seller. Seller reserves the right to
sell, assign, or otherwise transfer its right to receive payment under this
agreement.

     

    11.
Dispute Resolution and Arbitration – Buyer and Seller agree to
arbitrate all disputes, claims or controversies whether based on contract, tort,
statute, or any other legal or equitable theory, arising out of or relating to
(a) this Agreement or the relationship which results from this Agreement, (b)
the breach, termination or validity of this Agreement, (c) the purchase or
supply of any product. service, or information provided by Seller, (d) events
leading up to the formation of Buyer's and Seller's relationship, and (e) any
issue related to the creation of this Agreement or its scope, including the
scope and validity of this paragraph. The parties shall before and as a
condition to proceeding to arbitration attempt in good faith to resolve any such
claim or controversy by mediation under the International Institute for Conflict
Prevention & Resolution ("CPR") Mediation Procedure then currently in
effect. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the mediator will be selected from
the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals. Any such claim or controversy which
remains unresolved 60 days after the appointment of a mediator or 60 days after
good faith efforts by either party to proceed to mediation shall be finally
resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the CPR Rules for
Non-Administered Arbitration then currently in effect by three independent
and impartial
arbitrators, none of whom shall be appointed by either party. This Agreement
shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §§ 1-16, to the
exclusion of any state laws inconsistent therewith. Such arbitration shall be
conducted in a city to be chosen by the arbitrators which is not the principal
place of business of either party, and the arbitrators and the parties shall
conduct such arbitration in accordance with such procedures as may be necessary
to permit use of the then current CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure. Any judgment
upon the award rendered by the arbitrator(s)
may be entered by any court having jurisdiction thereof. In the event that
either party wishes to appeal an award, the parties shall follow the then
current CPR Arbitration Appeal Procedure. Buyer and Seller agree not to file or
join any class action or class arbitration, seek or consent to class relief, or
seek or consent to the consolidation or joinder of its claims with those of any
third party. If any clause within this
Arbitration Provision (other than the agreement regarding the conduct of the
arbitration in the preceding sentence) is found to be illegal or unenforceable,
that clause will be severed from this Arbitration Provision, and the remainder
of the Arbitration Provision will be given full force and effect. If such
agreement regarding the conduct of the arbitration is found to be illegal or
unenforceable and if the arbitrators permit a class arbitration or consolidated
or joined matter to proceed, this entire Arbitration Provision will be
unenforceable, and the dispute may be decided by a court. The obligations set
forth in this paragraph shall survive the termination or expiration of this
Agreement
