actually retard deliveries; or (ii) terminated.



9.         Taxes. Buyer is responsible for all taxes (excluding Seller’s income taxes) arising from

the Term. Products shall be promoted, sold and distributed only under the Trademarks. Buyer shall
ensure that each use of and reference to any of the Trademarks (by Buyer or its Subsidiaries) is

          10.2         Neither Buyer nor its Subsidiaries shall: (i) use the Trademarks in any way that might

the Trademarks, in connection with Products; (iii) modify Products or its labeling or packaging or
alter, obscure, or remove the Trademarks, indication of the source of origin, other means of
identification or other markings used on or in relation to Product; or (iv) at any time during or
after the term of this Agreement challenge or assist others to challenge the Trademarks or the
registration thereof, or use or make any application for registration in the Territory of any
trademarks or tradenames so resembling any trademark or tradename of Seller (including, without
limitation, any Trademark) as to be likely to cause confusion or deception. [**].




          10.3         The Product(s) may contain software which is proprietary to Seller. Seller at all times
retains ownership of and title to the software supplied with a Product, and to the Trade Secrets
(as defined herein) embodied in such software. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, Seller
grants Buyer a non-exclusive license to use such software in the form(s) and on the medium(s) which
is/are delivered. The use of these programs are for the purpose of operating the Product(s) in
accordance with the instructions in the Operator’s Manual(s) and for no other purposes. Buyer may
not reverse assemble or reverse compile such software, nor make any copy of such software or apply
any techniques to derive the Trade Secrets embodied therein. No licenses are granted by Seller to
Buyer under this Agreement, whether by implication, estoppel or otherwise, except as expressly set
forth herein.

infringement of, or challenge to any Trademark or other Intellectual Property of Seller, Buyer
shall notify Seller immediately. Seller shall investigate any alleged violation and may take legal
action as it deems appropriate to resolve the issue and to prevent others from infringing on its
Intellectual Property rights within the Territory. At Seller’s reasonable request, and at Seller’s
expense, Buyer shall cooperate with and assist Seller in connection with any such infringement.




          10.5         Except only for the limited rights as expressly permitted hereunder, and then only as

Trademarks) or of the goodwill associated therewith and that all such rights and goodwill are, and
shall remain, vested in Seller.




          10.6         Buyer will not do, nor will Buyer allow or authorize its Subsidiaries or anyone else to
do, any act which would or might invalidate or be inconsistent with the Intellectual Property of
Seller (including the Trademarks), and Buyer shall not omit or allow or authorize anyone to omit to
do any act which, by its omission, would have that effect.

NOT, HOWEVER, RELIEVE EITHER PARTY OF OBLIGATIONS INCURRED PRIOR TO THE TERMINATION.



13. Confidentiality and Non-Disclosure.




          13.1         As used herein, “Confidential Information” shall mean any information relating to the
business of the disclosing party which the disclosing party has marked as “confidential,”
designated as confidential in this Agreement or, in the case of oral information, has identified as
confidential in writing to the receiving party within thirty (30) days of disclosure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, information which is orally or visually disclosed to the receiving
party by the disclosing party, or is disclosed in writing without an appropriate letter,
proprietary stamp or legend, shall constitute Confidential Information if it would be apparent to a
reasonable person, familiar with the disclosing party’s business and the industry in which it
operates, that such information is of a confidential or proprietary nature. The pricing and
pricing terms in this Agreement and any other agreement between Seller and Buyer shall be deemed
“Confidential Information.” Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 13,
Confidential Information shall not include: information that is approved for public release by the
written authorization of the disclosing party; information that was disclosed to the receiving
party by a third party having the legal right to make such disclosure, or which the receiving party
can establish was in its lawful possession prior to its receipt thereof from the disclosing party;
information that is in the public domain prior to the receiving party’s receipt thereof from the
disclosing party, or which subsequently becomes a part of the public domain other than by the
receiving party’s negligence or wrongful act; such information required to be disclosed by law,
governmental or regulatory request or legal process; or information that the receiving party can
establish was independently developed without breach of this Agreement or use of Confidential
Information.




          13.2         Non-disclosure. Except to the extent permitted under this Section 13, each
party: (i) shall not disclose Confidential Information of the other party to any third party
without first obtaining the express written permission of the disclosing party; (ii) shall use
Confidential Information of the other party only as is necessary to fulfill its obligations
pursuant to this Agreement; (iii) shall limit such disclosure to any of its officers, employees or
agents on a need-to-know basis for purposes of fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement,
provided that any such non-employees of recipient are bound by this Agreement or confidentiality
obligations substantially similar to those set forth in this Agreement; and (iv) may disclose this
agreement, any amendments, and such Confidential Information to its outside attorneys and
independent accountants, on a need to know basis. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential
Information of the other party may be disclosed pursuant to a subpoena or court order, provided
that the receiving party gives prompt notice to the disclosing party that it intends to make such
disclosure so that the other party can take any appropriate steps it deems necessary to limit the
extent of such disclosure or to seek protection of such disclosure.




          13.3         Nothing in this Section shall impair either party’s compliance with any requirements of
the Securities and Exchange Commission or the national securities exchange or other stock market on
which such Party’s securities are traded. In connection with any filing by either Party of a copy
of this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission (or the national securities exchange
or other stock market on which such Party’s securities are traded), the filing party shall endeavor
to obtain confidential treatment of economic and trade secret information.




          13.4         Effect of Termination or Expiration. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement,
each party shall return to the other party or destroy any Confidential Information of the other
party and provide a written verification of such return or destruction. Each party’s obligation to

containing terms inconsistent herewith shall be effective to amend or modify this Agreement unless
such document expressly states the intention to do so and is signed by both parties hereto. The
failure on the part of either party to exercise or enforce any right under this Agreement shall not
be deemed to be a waiver of any such right or similar subsequent rights or operate to bar the

name, trade name, trademark or service mark of Buyer, and no right, express or implied, is granted
to Buyer hereunder to use in any manner any name, trade name, trademark or service mark of Seller.




          (i)         If any court or other competent authority holds any provision of this Agreement to be void
