4. Proprietary Information


 


4.1. Limits on Use and Disclosure of Proprietary Information.


 


4.1.1. Developer.  Developer shall use Proprietary Information disclosed by IQT (“IQT’s Proprietary Information”) only for purposes of meeting its obligations under this Agreement.

61











  






 


4.3. Permitted Disclosures.  A Receiving Party may disclose a Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information if required by law (including without limitation, federal or state securities laws) or by a court or other governmental authority, provided that in any case where a Receiving Party proposes to disclose a Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information because disclosure is required as provided above, (a) the Receiving Party shall provide the Disclosing Party with prior notice of the proposed disclosure, (b) at the request of and in consultation with the Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party shall undertake efforts to maintain the confidential nature of the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information, or appropriately redact portions thereof, and (c) the Receiving Party shall cooperate with the Disclosing Party’s actions to prevent disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Proprietary Information.


 


4.4. Injunctive Relief.  Either Party’s breach of this Article 4 would cause the other Party irreparable injury for which it would not have an adequate remedy at law.

5. Representations and Warranties


 


5.1. Authority.  Each Party represents and warrants that it has the authority to enter into this Agreement.


 


5.2. Non-Infringement.  Developer represents and warrants that to the best of its knowledge, the Services and Deliverables will not infringe any Intellectual Property right of any third party or otherwise conflict with the rights of any third party, and that Developer has the right to grant to IQT and the Government the rights specified in this Agreement.


 


5.3. No Other Warranties.  THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.


 


6. Indemnity


 


6.1. Third Party Claims; Reimbursement.  Subject to the procedures provided in Section 6.2, Developer shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless IQT and its trustees, officers, agents and employees (“IQT Indemnified Parties”), and indemnify and hold harmless, but not defend, the Government, from and against all third-party actions, claims, subpoenas, and suits (collectively, “Third Party Claims”) relating to or resulting from any actual or alleged: (a) infringement of Intellectual Property rights by Developer, the Services or Deliverables, or other conflicts with the rights of any third party associated with the Services or Deliverables; (b) acts or omissions of Developer’s employees and contractors (collectively, “Agents”) or the presence of such Agents at IQT’s or the Government’s facilities (except to the extent a Third Party Claim results from IQT’s or the Government’s negligence or willful misconduct), including Third Party Claims resulting from injuries to such Agents or injuries, property damage, or loss of data caused by such Agents; (c) failure of Developer or its Agents to comply with applicable laws and regulations or to obtain necessary licenses, permits or approvals; or (d) failure of Developer or its Agents to perform obligations arising from its relationships with its Agents, including any Third Party Claims by its Agents or any taxing authority.  If such Deliverables are alleged in any Third Party Claim to be infringing or if in the opinion of Developer such Deliverables are likely to become the subject of a claim of infringement, Developer may either: (x) procure for IQT Indemnified Parties the right to continue using such Deliverables as authorized hereunder or (y) replace or modify such allegedly infringing Deliverables with a product that is functionally equivalent and non-infringing, and in such event, Developer shall not be required to indemnify to the extent the IQT Indemnified Party’s Expenses (as defined below) are due to the IQT Indemnified Party not employing such replacement or modification after receiving the same and being notified that it should thereafter employ the same to avoid a possible claim of infringement..  Developer shall reimburse each IQT Indemnified Party and the Government for any loss, damage, liability, and legal or other expenses (including costs and reasonable attorney’s fees) related to or resulting from Third Party Claims (collectively, “Expenses”) as such Expenses are incurred by the IQT Indemnified Party or the Government.


 




  





62











  






 


6.2. Procedures.  Developer’s obligations under Section 6.1 with respect to any Third Party Claim are conditioned on (a) Developer receiving prompt written notice of such Third Party Claim, except to the extent that Developer is not prejudiced by any delay in notice, and (b) IQT Indemnified Parties giving Developer sole control of the defense of such Third Party Claim (including selection of legal counsel) and any related settlement negotiations.  IQT Indemnified Parties and the Government shall cooperate with Developer in such defense to the extent the Third Party Claim concerns them (subject to Developer reimbursing the IQT Indemnified Party or Government for Expenses related to such cooperation requested by Developer).  Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) IQT Indemnified Parties and the Government shall have the right to participate in the defense and settlement of any Third Party Claim against them at their expense; (ii) IQT Indemnified Parties shall have the right to have counsel of their own provided at Developer’s expense in the event counsel selected by Developer has an ethical conflict of interest in representing both Developer and IQT Indemnified Parties; and (iii) Developer shall not settle a Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of any affected IQT Indemnified Parties and the Government, as applicable, which shall not be withheld unreasonably; provided, however, that no such consent shall be required in the event that such settlement involves nothing more than the payment of money by Developer and does not involve, for example, any admission of any kind, including of liability. If Developer fails to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim against an IQT Indemnified Party within the earlier of (1) any deadline established by a third party in a written demand or by a court or (2) thirty (30) days after notice of the Third Party Claim, an IQT Indemnified Party may follow such course of action as it reasonably deems necessary to protect its interest and shall be indemnified for all Expenses reasonably incurred in such course of action; provided that the IQT Indemnified Party shall not settle a Third Party Claim without the consent of Developer, which shall not be withheld or delayed unreasonably.


 


7. Limitation of Liability


 


           IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES.  IN NO EVENT SHALL IQT BE LIABLE TO DEVELOPER FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING FROM THE ACTS OR OMISSIONS OF THE GOVERNMENT OR THE GOVERNMENT’S CONTRACTORS.

8.2. Termination upon Change of Control.  Developer shall provide IQT notice of any proposed “Change of Control” as soon as legally possible prior of the proposed closing date of any proposed Change of Control (subject to IQT’s execution of a reasonable non-disclosure agreement if disclosure would be prior to public release of the information).  IQT may terminate this Agreement upon a Change of Control, and condition the effectiveness of such termination upon the consummation of such Change of Control.  “Change of Control” means (a) an acquisition of Developer by another entity by means of any transaction or series of related transactions (including, without limitation, any reorganization, merger or consolidation) that would result in the transfer of fifty percent (50%) or more of the outstanding voting power of Developer or in which the shareholders of Developer immediately prior to such transaction would own, as a result of such transaction, less than a majority of the voting securities of the successor or surviving corporation immediately thereafter; (b) a merger of Developer and another entity in which Developer is not the surviving entity; (c) a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Developer (provided that a sale of the Developer’s high speed optical receivers business or optoelectronics solutions business shall not be considered a sale, transfer or other disposition of all or substantially all of the assets of Developer for purposes of this Section so long as the Developer remains an operating entity with a Terahertz systems business and is capable of performing its obligations under this Agreement); or (d) the exclusive licensing of all or substantially all of Developer’s Intellectual Property; provided that a transaction as described in clause (b) or (c) shall not constitute a Change of Control if its sole purpose is to change the state of Developer’s incorporation.


 




  





63











  






 


8.3. Post-Termination Procedures.  Promptly after any termination, Developer shall: (a) stop all work, except any activities specified by IQT necessary for an orderly termination; and (b) subject to agreement between Developer and IQT upon payment therefore and upon IQT’s request, all completed or uncompleted work requested by IQT that would have been delivered to IQT or incorporated or reflected in a Deliverable if this Agreement had been fully performed, provided that in no event shall such cost exceed the cost specified in the Statement of Work (if applicable) for such work.

Developer shall not, without IQT’s prior written approval make any public statement on the possible uses of the Deliverables by any IQT Customers or IQT.


 


10.2.       Agreed Statements.

To provide this assurance, Developer shall permit an employee or representative of any IQT Customer access to the source code for such software.  Such access shall be subject to a nondisclosure agreement, acceptable to Developer, which prohibits disclosure of the source code and limits the use of the source code to testing for vulnerabilities.  Such access may be provided at Developer’s facility, and may be supervised by Developer.  Developer may propose any alternative approach, which must be approved in writing by the applicable IQT Customer.

EXHIBIT 1


STATEMENT OF WORK







1  Introduction


 


In-Q-Tel’s participating customer in this transaction is the Transportation Security Administration (TSA).  This Statement of Work (SOW) is designed to apply Developer’s terahertz technology to anomaly detection.  An anomaly refers to any external object on the body that is not part of the body, and the term is meant to separate conceptually from the detection of a specific threat such as an explosive.  The system is intended to detect anomalous objects on the body of a person that may be hidden under layers of cloth or a cast without the need for imaging or a lengthy physical pat-down procedure, which avoids the associated privacy concerns and time-consuming operator image review.  The form factor of the proposed unit is a handheld device or “wand” attached with an umbilical to a portable control unit.  Major deliverables include Final Design Documentation and three Prototypes Instruments.  Two of these Prototype Instruments will be used by third parties in effectiveness testing and human factors testing (the third Prototype Instrument will be for IQT’s ROC facility).


 



2  Deliverables and Services


 


This project is divided into 6 phases: Phase I (Product Definition), Phase II (Requirements Decomposition), Phase III (Product Design), Phase IV (Product Build & Test), Phase V (Field Deployment & Third Party Testing), and Phase VI (Reporting).  IQT and Developer agree that program phases are to be performed sequentially.

2.1.1.1

	
Program Plan







 


Developer shall prepare and deliver a program plan outlining the execution of the work performed under this SOW in Gantt chart form, preferably using the Microsoft Project platform.  Included in this plan shall be a list of technical and programmatic risks for the project, and proposed mitigating steps for each.

EXHIBIT 4


GOVERNMENT PATENT RIGHTS








1.  Definitions









The following terms shall have the meanings specified below.  Any term not defined below shall have the meaning set forth in the Agreement.







“Government Purpose” means any activity in which the Government is a party, including cooperative agreements with international or multi-national defense organizations, or sales or transfers by the United States Government to foreign governments or international organizations.  Government Purpose includes competitive procurement, but does not include the rights to practice a subject invention for commercial purposes or authorize others to do so.







“Invention” means any invention or discovery, which is or may be patentable or otherwise protectable under Title 35 of the U.S. Code.







“Made” when used in relation to any Invention means the conception or first actual reduction to practice of such Invention.







“Practical Application” means to manufacture, in the case of composition or product; to practice, in the case of a process or method; or to operate, in the case of a machine or system; and, in each case, under such conditions as to establish that the Invention is capable of being utilized and that its benefits are, to the extent permitted by law or Government regulations, available to the public on reasonable terms.







“Subject Invention” means any Invention of Developer conceived or first actually reduced to practice in the performance of work under the Agreement.








2.  Developer’s Rights










	
  

	
2.1

	
Developer may retain the ownership of each Subject Invention throughout the world in accordance with the provisions of this Exhibit.













	
  

	
2.2

	
Developer shall retain a nonexclusive, royalty-free license throughout the world in each Subject Invention to which the Government obtains title, unless Developer fails to disclose the Invention within the times specified in Section 3 of this Exhibit.  Developer’s license extends to any domestic subsidiaries and affiliates within the corporate structure of which Developer is a part, and includes the right to grant sublicenses of the same scope. The license is transferable only with the written approval of the Government agency that is in charge of the administration of IQT’s contract (“the Administrative Agency”), except when transferred to the successor of that part of Developer’s business to which the Invention pertains.













	
  

	
2.3

	
Developer’s license may be revoked or modified by the Administrative Agency to the extent necessary to achieve expeditious Practical Application of the Subject Invention in a particular country in accordance with the procedures in FAR 27.302(i) (2) and 27.304-1 (f).







 




  





87











  








3.  Invention Disclosure, Election of Title, Filing of Patent Application








	
3.1  

	
Developer shall disclose each Subject Invention to IQT within six (6) months after the inventor discloses it in writing to Developer’s personnel responsible for patent matters.  The disclosure to IQT shall identify the inventor(s) and the Agreement under which the Subject Invention was Made.  The disclosure shall be sufficiently complete in technical detail to convey a clear understanding of the Subject Invention.  The disclosure shall also identify any publication, on sale (i.e., sale or offer for sale), or public use of the Subject Invention, or whether a manuscript describing the Subject Invention has been submitted for publication and, if so, whether it has been accepted for publication.  In addition, after disclosure to IQT, Developer shall promptly notify IQT of the acceptance of any manuscript describing the Subject Invention for publication and any on sale or public use.













	
3.2  

	
Developer shall elect in writing whether or not to retain title to any Subject Invention by notifying IQT within [***] months of disclosure to IQT.  However, in any case where publication, sale, or public use has initiated the one (1) year statutory period wherein valid patent protection can still be obtained in the United States, the period for such notice may shall be [***] calendar days prior to the end of the statutory period.













	
3.3  

	
Developer agrees to file its initial patent application on a Subject Invention to which it elects to retain title prior to the end of any statutory period wherein valid patent protection can be obtained in the United States after a publication, sale, or public use, and shall thereafter file corresponding patent applications in other countries in which it wishes to retain title within reasonable times.













	
3.4  

	
Requests for extension of the time for disclosure, election, and filing may be granted by IQT (at the discretion of IQT) after considering the position of Developer.













4.  Government’s Rights










	
4.1  

	
Ownership.  Upon IQT’s written request, Developer shall convey title to any Subject Invention to the Administrative Agency under any of the following conditions:













	
  

	
(a)

	
If Developer elects not to retain title, or if Developer fails to disclose or elect title to the Subject Invention within the times specified in Section 3 of this Exhibit and IQT requests conveyance of title within ninety (90) days after it has advised the Administrative Agency of such a failure.







 




  





88











  






 



	
  

	
(b)

	
In those countries in which Developer fails to file patent applications within the times specified in Section 3 of this Exhibit; however, if Developer has filed a patent application in a country after the times specified in Section 3 but before IQT requests conveyance of title, Developer shall continue to retain title in that country.













	
  

	
(c)

	
In any country in which Developer decides not to continue the prosecution of any application for, to pay the maintenance fees on, or defend in reexamination or opposition proceedings on, a patent on a Subject Invention.













	
  

	
4.2

	
License.  If Developer retains ownership of any Subject Invention, the Government shall have a nonexclusive, nontransferable, irrevocable, paid-up license to practice, or have practiced for or on its behalf, the Subject Invention throughout the world for Government Purposes.













5. Action to Protect the Government’s Interest










	
  

	
5.1

	
Developer agrees to execute or to have executed and promptly deliver to IQT for delivery to the Administrative Agency all instruments necessary: (1) to establish or confirm the Government’s rights in those Subject Inventions to which Developer elects to retain title; and (2) to convey title to the Government when requested under Section 4.1 of this Exhibit and to enable the Government to obtain patent protection in that Subject Invention.













	
  

	
5.2

	
Developer shall: (1) require its technical employees to execute written agreements obligating them to disclose Subject Inventions, promptly and in writing, to Developer personnel responsible for administering patent matters; and (2) instruct employees, through suitable educational programs, on the importance of reporting Inventions in sufficient time to permit the filing of patent applications prior to United States or foreign statutory bars.













	
  

	
5.3

	
Developer shall notify IQT of any decisions not to file a non-provisional patent application, continue the prosecution of a patent application, pay maintenance fees, or defend in a reexamination or opposition proceedings on a patent, in any country, not less than [***] calendar days before the expiration of the response period required by the relevant patent office.













	
  

	
5.4

	
Developer shall include, within the specification of any United States patent application and any patent issuing thereon covering a Subject Invention, the following statement: “This invention was made with Government support under Contract No. [***].  The Government has certain rights in the invention.”












6.     Reporting on Utilization of Subject Inventions








	
  

	
At IQT’s request, Developer shall submit annual reports, in a mutually agreeable form, on the utilization of a Subject Invention or on efforts at obtaining such utilization that are being made by Developer or its licensees or assignees.  Developer shall also submit any additional reports the Administrative Agency may request in connection with any march-in proceedings under Section 8 of this Exhibit.  Developer also shall mark any utilization reports as confidential/proprietary to help prevent inadvertent release outside the Government.  As required by 35 U.S.C. § 202(c) (5), the Administrative Agency shall not disclose such information to persons outside the Government without Developer’s permission.







 




  





89











  








7.     Preference for United States Industry







Neither Developer nor any assignee shall grant any person the exclusive right to use or sell any Subject Invention in the United States or Canada unless such person agrees that any product embodying the Subject Invention or produced through the use of the Subject Invention shall be manufactured substantially in the United States or Canada.  The Administrative Agency may waive this requirement in individual cases if Developer shows that reasonable but unsuccessful efforts have been made to grant licenses on similar terms to potential licensees that would be likely to manufacture substantially in the United States or Canada or that, under the circumstances, domestic manufacture is not commercially feasible.







8.     March-in Rights







When Developer holds title to a Subject Invention, the Administrative Agency has the right, in accordance with the procedures in 37 CFR 401.6 and any supplemental Administrative Agency regulations, to require Developer or its assignee or exclusive licensee to grant a nonexclusive license to a responsible applicant or applicants upon reasonable terms (and to grant such a license itself if Developer or its assignee or exclusive licensee refuse to do so) upon determining that such action is necessary: (1) because Developer or its assignee has not taken, or is not expected to take within a reasonable time, effective steps to achieve Practical Application of the Subject Invention within such field of use; (2) to alleviate health or safety needs that are not reasonably satisfied by Developer, its assignee or their licensees; (3) to meet requirements for public use specified by federal regulations that are not reasonably satisfied by Developer, its assignee or their licensees; or (4) because of a violation of Section 7 of this Exhibit.







9.  Subcontracts







Developer agrees to include in its agreements with subcontractors and employees provisions sufficient to obtain for the Government the rights granted to the Government in this Exhibit.







10. Special Provisions Applicable To Nonprofit Organizations


 




  





90











  






 



	
  

	
If Developer or one of its contractors is a nonprofit organization, Developer or its contractor,, as applicable, agrees to comply with the requirements set forth in section 52.227-11(k) of the Federal Acquisition Regulation (48 CFR 52.227-11(k)).
