              b)

            	
              Termination

      of any part of THE PROGRAM efforts hereunder, either Party may pursue that
      program effort so terminated independent of the
  other.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              5)

            	
              Cooperate
      generally with e-R, in a reasonable and practicable manner, to facilitate
      the successful competition of the Team for all contracts relative to all
      phases of THE PROGRAM.

              A.

            	
              To
      encourage the exchange of proprietary information between the Parties and
      a mutual dedication of effort to accomplishing the objectives of this
      Agreement, each Party agrees that it will not participate with any other
      party in pursuit of THE PROGRAM contemplated by this Agreement. As a team,
      each of the Parties hereto agrees to offer its fullest support and
      cooperation to preserve in good faith the spirit of the teaming concept
      evidenced by this Agreement. It is understood, however, that neither Party
      shall be precluded from its normal marketing efforts in connection with
      the sale of its standard products and services. It is further understood
      and agreed that, should any prospective or actual commercial customer or
      prime contractor identify or define its system requirements so as to
      require only products/technology fully within one of the Parties’ area of
      expertise, then either Party may terminate this Agreement as to that prime
      contractor, and the Parties shall be free to pursue contracts with that
      prime contractor independently, subject only to the provisions of
      paragraph 6 below concerning proprietary
  information.

      Agreement is not intended to constitute, create, give effect to, or
      otherwise recognize a joint venture, partnership, or formal business
      entity of any kind. Each Party shall act as an independent contractor and
      neither Party shall act as an agent or partner of the other Party. The
      rights and obligations of the Parties under this Agreement are limited to
      those expressly set forth herein.

            


    

     

    
      	
               
      

            	
              C.

            	
              Nothing
      contained in this Agreement is to be construed as providing for the
      sharing of profits or losses arising out of the efforts of either or both
      Parties. Neither Party will be liable to the other for any costs,
      expenses, risks, or liabilities arising out of the other Party’s efforts
      in connection with this Agreement or the preparation and submission of any
      proposal(s) for THE PROGRAM.

contract or subcontract relating to THE PROGRAM, each Party shall bear its own
expenses incurred in its respective participation in meetings between the
Parties and/or with prospective prime contractors or the government, as well as
any proposal preparation, submission and negotiation activities.

        	6.	LICENSES


      

    

     

    Unless
otherwise stated in this Agreement, no license to the other Party under any
patents or copyrights is granted or implied by conveying proprietary or other
information to that Party. None of such information which may be transmitted or
exchanged by the respective Parties shall constitute any representation,
warranty, assurance; guaranty or inducement by either Party to the other with
respect to the infringement of patents or other rights of others.

      MATECH a non-exclusive, non-assignable royalty free license to use e-R’s
      Background Intellectual Property Rights strictly insofar as may be
      necessary to enable MATECH to carry out its obligations under this
      Agreement.  MATECH shall not use the e-R Background Intellectual

              MATECH
      Background Intellectual Property Rights.  Prior to MATECH
      utilizing any of its Background Intellectual Property Rights in THE
      PROGRAM, MATECH will notify e-R that it intends to do so.  e-R
      will then have the option of accepting the Background Intellectual
      Property Rights, suggesting an alternative to such use, or terminating the
      Agreement.  If e-R accepts the utilization of MATECH Background
      Intellectual Property Rights for THE PROGRAM, MATECH will grant a license
      of the utilized Background Intellectual Property Rights in accordance with
      terms to be agreed upon at that
time.

      e-R’s Background Intellectual Property Rights, the Parties do not
      anticipate the creation of substantial Foreground Intellectual Property
      during the term of this Agreement.  If at anytime MATECH feels
      that Foreground Intellectual Property is being created, MATECH shall
      notify e-R of such development.  All Foreground Intellectual
      Property shall be wholly owned by e-R.  e-R grants to MATECH a
      non-exclusive, non-assignable royalty free license to use the Foreground
      Intellectual Property subject to e-R approval and review to ensure that
      the proposed use does not conflict or compete with any of e-R’s current or
      future applications of its Intellectual Property Rights, such approval not
      to be unreasonably withheld.

    Each
Party (the “Indemnifying Party”) agrees to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless
the other Party (the “Indemnified Party”) from and against any and all claims,
damages, and liabilities, including any and all expense and costs, legal or
otherwise, caused by the negligent act or omission of the Indemnifying Party,
its subcontractors, agents, or employees, incurred by the Indemnified Party in
the investigation and defense of any claim, demand, or action arising out of the
work performed under this Agreement; including breach of the Indemnifying Party
of this Agreement.  The Indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any
claims, damages, or liabilities caused by the sole negligence of the Indemnified
Party, its subcontractors, agents, or employees.

     

    The
Indemnified Party shall notify promptly the Indemnifying Party of the existence
of any claim, demand, or other matter to which the Indemnifying Party’s
indemnification obligations would apply, and shall give them a reasonable
opportunity to settle or defend the same at their own expense and with counsel
of their own selection, provided that the Indemnified Party shall at all times
also have the right to fully participate in the defense.  If the
Indemnifying Party, within a reasonable time after this notice, fails to take

upon written notice, have the right, but not the obligation, to undertake such
settlement or defense and to compromise or settle the claim, demand, or other
matter on behalf, for the account, and at the risk, of the Indemnifying
Party.
