1.4 “Net Sales Revenue”

 

1.4.1 For Licensed Products sold by Panasonic Idemitsu to non-Affiliated third parties solely for monetary consideration, “Net Sales Revenue” means the gross amount invoiced or received, whichever occurs sooner, on account thereof, less the following where separately itemized on the customer invoice for the Licensed Products: (a) taxes and duties actually collected and remitted to the appropriate taxing authorities; (b) reasonable shipping and insurance costs actually paid or accrued for such purpose; and (c) refunds or credits actually given for returned or defective items.

Article 2 License Rights

 

2.1 Grant of License to Panasonic Idemitsu.  Subject to the remaining provisions of this Article 2, Universal Display hereby grants to Panasonic Idemitsu a worldwide, non-exclusive and non-transferable (except in connection with a permitted transfer of this Agreement as a whole) license, without rights to sublicense, under the Universal Display Patents, and to use the Universal Display Know-How, to manufacture, have manufactured (but only by Affiliates in

 

  

Page 3 of 14

  

accordance with Section 2.1.1 below), sell, offer for sale, import, export and otherwise dispose of Licensed Products.

2.1.1 Panasonic Idemitsu may exercise its “have manufactured” rights granted under Section 2.1 above through Panasonic Electric Works Co., Ltd. and such other entities that are Affiliates of Panasonic Idemitsu which have been approved by Universal Display in writing, but only for so long as such entities remain Affiliates of Panasonic Idemitsu.  Any such extension shall be pursuant to a written agreement between Panasonic Idemitsu and the relevant Affiliate, which written agreement shall obligate the Affiliate to abide by the scope of license and other applicable provisions of this Agreement.  In addition to its other rights or remedies hereunder, Universal Display shall be expressly identified in the written sublicense agreement as a third-party beneficiary thereof, entitled to enforce the scope of license and other applicable provisions of this Agreement directly against the Affiliate.  Panasonic Idemitsu shall identify to Universal Display in writing the name and business address of each Affiliate prior to its entry into such written agreement with the Affiliate, and shall use its best efforts to cause each such Affiliate to abide by the scope of license and other applicable provisions of this Agreement.

 

2.1.2 During the term of the license, Universal Display agrees not to assert any of the Universal Display Patents against Panasonic Idemitsu, its Affiliates or its customers based on their subsequent manufacture, sale, offer for sale, importation, exportation, use or other disposal of OLED lighting products incorporating the Licensed Products, provided such Licensed Products were manufactured and sold within the scope of the rights and restrictions outlined in this Agreement.

 

2.2 License Rights to Future Patents and Know-How.  To the extent it has the right to do so, Universal Display will expand Panasonic Idemitsu’s license rights under this Article 2 to include any additional patents, patent applications and Know-How of Universal Display pertaining to OLED Lighting products, which Universal Display owns or has the right to license to Panasonic Idemitsu hereunder, and which are issued, registered, granted, allowed published or generated during the Term, but excluding any such patents, patent applications or Know-How acquired by Universal Display through a merger, asset acquisition or other similar transaction unless separately agreed by the Parties in writing.

 

2.3 No Rights Respecting Certain OLED Chemicals.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Panasonic Idemitsu is not authorized under this Agreement to sell or offer for sale any Licensed Products made using any chemical substance used or useful for the manufacture of OLEDs, the composition of matter of which is covered by a Valid Claim of a Universal Display Patent (a “Universal Display Proprietary OLED Chemical”), unless such Universal Display Proprietary OLED Chemical was purchased directly from Universal Display.  Panasonic Idemitsu shall not manufacture or purchase from a third party, or encourage any third party to manufacture or sell to Panasonic Idemitsu, any chemical substance that Panasonic Idemitsu knows, or has reason to know, is a Universal Display Proprietary OLED Chemical.

 

2.4 No Rights Respecting Certain OLED Manufacturing Equipment.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, Panasonic Idemitsu is not authorized under this Agreement to sell or offer for sale any Licensed Products made using any manufacturing equipment or machinery used or useful for the manufacture of OLEDs, the design or construction of which is

 

  

Page 4 of 14

  

covered by a Valid Claim of a Universal Display Patent (“Universal Display Proprietary OLED Equipment”), unless such Universal Display Proprietary OLED Equipment was purchased from an authorized Universal Display equipment vendor.  Panasonic Idemitsu shall not manufacture or purchase from a third party, or encourage any third party to manufacture or sell to Panasonic Idemitsu, any equipment or machinery that Panasonic Idemitsu knows, or has reason to know, is Universal Display Proprietary OLED Equipment.

 

2.5 Acknowledgement of Derivative Rights.  Panasonic Idemitsu acknowledges that certain of the Universal Display Technology is licensed by Universal Display from the Trustees of Princeton University (“Princeton”), the University of Southern California (“USC”) and the University of Michigan (“Michigan”), and, therefore, that Panasonic Idemitsu’s license rights under this Agreement with respect to such Universal Display Technology are subject to the reserved rights of and obligations to such third parties under their license agreements with Universal Display.  Panasonic Idemitsu further acknowledges that the U.S. Government has certain reserved rights with respect to those Universal Display Patents claiming inventions that were first conceived or reduced to practice under contracts between the U.S. Government and Universal Display or its licensors.  Universal Display hereby covenants to Panasonic Idemitsu that: (a) Universal Display shall comply in all material respects with the terms of its license agreement with such third-party licensors and its contracts with or awards from the U.S. Government as in either case are relevant to Panasonic Idemitsu’s exercise of the license rights granted by Universal Display hereunder; and (b) no additional consideration shall be owed by Panasonic Idemitsu to such third-party licensors or the U.S. Government on account of Panasonic Idemitsu’s exercise of such license rights.  Upon Panasonic Idemitsu’s request, Universal Display will provide Panasonic Idemitsu with copies (which may be reasonably redacted by Universal Display to avoid disclosing confidential information not relevant to this Agreement) of Universal Display’s agreement with these third-party licensors and of the applicable portions its relevant contracts with or awards from the U.S. Government.

 

2.6 Reservation of Rights.  Except for the license rights expressly granted to Panasonic Idemitsu under this Article 2, all rights to practice under the Universal Display Patents and to use the Universal Display Know-How are reserved unto Universal Display and its licensors.  No implied rights or licenses are granted to Panasonic Idemitsu hereunder.

 

Article 3 Patent Matters, Attribution and Samples

 

3.1 Patent Validity.  During the Term, Panasonic Idemitsu shall not, and shall ensure that its Affiliates do not, challenge or oppose, or assist others in challenging or opposing, in whole or in part, the issuance, validity, scope or enforceability of any of the Universal Display Patents licensed hereunder, nor shall Panasonic Idemitsu initiate or continue, or assist others in initiating or continuing, proceedings to have any of such Universal Display Patents cancelled or invalidated, in whole or in part, except that the foregoing shall not apply to the extent such prohibitions are contrary to law or regulation in the relevant patent jurisdiction.

 

3.2 Patent Marking.  Upon Universal Display’s request, Panasonic Idemitsu shall apply or cause to be applied to all Licensed Products intended for sale in the United States, or to their packaging, such reasonable markings or notices of the Universal Display Patents as may be requested in writing by Universal Display in order to reasonably protect Universal Display’s

 

  

Page 5 of 14

  

 rights and interests therein under the laws of the United States; provided however, that Panasonic Idemitsu shall be required to apply such markings or notices to the products or their packaging only to the extent that Panasonic Idemitsu applies similar markings or notices of Panasonic Idemitsu’s or its Affiliates’ own patents to the products or their packaging in order to protect Panasonic Idemitsu’s rights and interests therein under laws of the United States.

 

3.3 Non-Use of Certain Names.  Panasonic Idemitsu shall not use the names of Princeton, USC or Michigan in connection with any products, promotion or advertising without the prior consent of Princeton, USC or Michigan, as applicable, except to the extent reasonably required by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, Panasonic Idemitsu may state that its license rights hereunder are derivative of rights granted by Princeton, USC and Michigan to Universal Display under the license agreement among them.

 

3.4 Samples.  Upon Universal Display’s written request and at the lowest price offered by Panasonic Idemitsu to any non-Affiliate for such Licensed Products, including any taxes, duties or other governmental charges based on the sale, shipment, import, export or use of the Licensed Products (other than taxes based upon Panasonic Idemitsu’s net income), Panasonic Idemitsu shall supply Universal Display with [***] samples of each type of Licensed Product that Panasonic Idemitsu offers for sale to third parties.  Universal Display shall limit its requests for such samples to a reasonable number of different Licensed Products and Panasonic Idemitsu shall supply such samples promptly following Panasonic Idemitsu’s first sale of the Licensed Product to a third party.  Universal Display agrees to use such samples only (a) to verify compliance with the terms of this Agreement, and (b) for promotional purposes such as in displays at shareholder meetings, industry conferences or other similar venues (with appropriate attribution being given to Panasonic Idemitsu).

 

3.5 Amendments to the Universal Display Patents.  To the extent applicable law requires Universal Display to obtain Panasonic Idemitsu’s approval for amendments to the specifications of any Universal Display Patent licensed hereunder, Panasonic Idemitsu shall promptly approve all such reasonable amendments proposed by Universal Display.

 

Article 4 Consideration

 

4.1 Pre-paid Royalties.  In consideration of the license rights granted by Universal Display hereunder, Panasonic Idemitsu shall pay to Universal Display running royalties at a rate of [***] percent [***] on account of Net Sales Revenue from Panasonic Idemitsu’s worldwide sales or other disposition of Licensed Products.  Panasonic Idemitsu shall pay to Universal Display a non-refundable license fee of [***] U.S. Dollars [***] as a prepayment of such running royalties for cumulative Net Sales Revenue up to the threshold amount of [***] U.S. Dollars [***] (the “Threshold Sales Amount”).  Said license fee is due and payable to Universal Display in three (3) installments of [***] each, the first installment being due within forty-five (45) days following the Effective Date, the second being due by July 31, 2012, and the third being due by July 31, 2013.  Upon payment in full of the license fee to Universal Display, the license rights granted hereunder shall be fully paid-up for Panasonic Idemitsu’s worldwide sales or other disposition of Licensed Products for cumulative Net Sales Revenue up to the Threshold Sales Amount.

 

  

Page 6 of 14

  

 

 

4.2 Additional Royalties.  If and when cumulative Net Sales Revenue exceeds the Threshold Sales Amount, Panasonic Idemitsu shall pay to Universal Display running royalties at a rate of [***] percent [***] on account of Net Sales Revenue from Panasonic Idemitsu’s worldwide sales or other disposition of Licensed Products in excess of the Threshold Sales Amount.  No multiple royalties shall be due because any Licensed Product, or its manufacture, sale, other disposition or usage, is or may be covered by more than one Universal Display Patent licensed to Panasonic Idemitsu hereunder.  Both Parties acknowledge and agree that the royalty rates and the methods by which they are to be calculated and paid hereunder have been determined through arms length negotiations between the Parties, and that such rates and methods have been agreed upon because they are mutually convenient, reasonable and appropriate notwithstanding whether and to what extent any of the Universal Display Patents have been issued, granted, allowed or registered, or have expired, in any particular country in which Licensed Products are made, sold or used, or whether the Universal Display Patents encompass each and every feature of any particular Licensed Product.

 

4.3 Reports.  Within sixty (60) days following the end of each Reporting Period (as defined below), Panasonic Idemitsu shall submit to Universal Display a written report, in English, indicating (a) the number and size of each Licensed Product sold or otherwise distributed by Panasonic Idemitsu during such period, and (b) Panasonic Idemitsu’s reasonably detailed calculation of Net Sales Revenues on account of such sales or other disposition of Licensed Products and, if applicable, the royalties due and owing to Universal Display on account thereof.  Upon Universal Display’s written request with good justification, both parties will negotiate in good faith that Panasonic Idemitsu submit a written report, in English, indicating such other information as Universal Display may reasonably request of Panasonic Idemitsu which is pertinent to ensuring compliance with the scope of license provisions under Article 2 above.  As used herein, the Reporting Period shall initially be a six month period beginning on April 1st and October 1st of each year; provided, however, that if and when cumulative Net Sales Revenue from Panasonic Idemitsu’s worldwide sales or other disposition of Licensed Products exceeds the Threshold Sales Amount, the Reporting Period shall become a three month period beginning on January 1st, April 1st, July 1st and October 1st of each year.

 

4.4 Payment of Royalties.  Within sixty (60) days following the end of each Reporting Period during the Term (and if the Term ends in the middle of a Reporting Period, within sixty (60) days following the end of the Term), Panasonic Idemitsu shall pay directly to Universal Display the royalties due and payable with respect to Licensed Products sold or otherwise disposed of during such period, if any.

 

Article 5 Payment Terms; Audit Rights

 

5.1 Payment.  Payment shall be made to Universal Display, without setoff or deduction of any kind, by wire transfer using the following wire instructions:

 

[***]

Without limiting its other rights or remedies on account of any late payment, Universal Display may require Panasonic Idemitsu to pay interest on any late payment at a per annum rate equal to

 

  

Page 7 of 14

  

 

the Prime Rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the date payment is due, plus [***] percent [***].

 

5.2 Payment Authorization and Withholding Taxes.  Panasonic Idemitsu shall secure all authorizations required for payment to Universal Display hereunder, and shall bear any transfer fees, taxes and any other charges associated therewith.  Both Parties shall cooperate to file such tax exemption forms and other documentation as is necessary to avoid any withholding from amounts payable to Universal Display hereunder.

 

5.3 Currency Conversion and Restriction.  Any royalties due hereunder based on Licensed Products sold or otherwise disposed of by Panasonic Idemitsu outside of the United States shall be payable in U.S. Dollars at the rate of exchange for the currency of the country in which such sales or usage occurs, which rate of exchange shall equal the exchange rate as published in The Wall Street Journal on the last business day of the calendar quarter for which payment is being made.  All royalties shall be paid to Universal Display without deduction of currency exchange fees or other similar amounts.  If at any time the legal restrictions of countries outside of the United States prevent Panasonic Idemitsu from paying Universal Display any amounts due hereunder, or otherwise upon Universal Display’s written instruction, Universal Display may direct Panasonic Idemitsu to make all or any portion of these payments to Universal Display’s accounts established at banks or depositories in one or more countries other than the United States.

 

5.4 Records; Audit and Inspection.  Panasonic Idemitsu shall keep accurate and complete records relating to all Licensed Products made and sold or otherwise distributed hereunder for a period of three (3) years.  An independent certified public accountant selected by Universal Display and approved by Panasonic Idemitsu (such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), together with such technical support staff as such accountant reasonably deems necessary, shall have the right to audit such records and inspect such of Panasonic Idemitsu’s materials, equipment and manufacturing processes as are reasonably necessary in order to verify Panasonic Idemitsu’s compliance with its obligations hereunder.  Universal Display shall give reasonable advance notice of any such audit or inspection to Panasonic Idemitsu, and such audit or inspection shall be conducted during Panasonic Idemitsu’s normal business hours and in a manner that does not cause unreasonable disruption to Panasonic Idemitsu’s conduct of its business.  The results of any such audit or inspection shall be deemed a Confidential Item of Panasonic Idemitsu and shall not be disclosed by Universal Display except as may be necessary for Universal Display to enforce its rights and interests hereunder.  If the audit or inspection reveals that Panasonic Idemitsu has underpaid any royalties due to Universal Display, Panasonic Idemitsu shall immediately pay to Universal Display all unpaid royalties, plus interest on the unpaid amounts from the date payment was initially due at the rate specified in Section 5.1 above.  Universal Display shall be responsible for paying the fees and expenses charged by the accountant and/or technical support staff for conducting any audit or inspection hereunder; provided, however, that if the unpaid royalties exceed [***] percent [***] of the total royalties that should have been paid by Panasonic Idemitsu during the audited period, Panasonic Idemitsu shall promptly reimburse Universal Display for the reasonable fees and expenses charged by such accountant.  Nothing herein shall limit any other rights or remedies available to Universal Display on account of Panasonic Idemitsu’s breach of its obligations under this Agreement.

Article 8 Term and Termination

 

8.1 Term.  The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue, unless terminated sooner as permitted hereunder, until July 31, 2014.

8.3 Termination for Challenge of Patents.  Universal Display may terminate this Agreement on written notice to Panasonic Idemitsu if Panasonic Idemitsu or any of its Affiliates asserts or assists another in asserting (including through the use of a “dummy” person or entity), before any court, patent office or other governmental agency, that any of the Universal Display Patents are invalid or unenforceable, should be cancelled or invalidated in whole or in part, or should otherwise not be granted, allowed or issued in whole or in part (each, a “Patent Challenge”).  Such termination shall [***], and such termination shall be without reduction in any royalties or other amounts due to Universal Display hereunder.  Should Panasonic Idemitsu contest or otherwise allege that such termination or the terms thereof are contrary to law and/or unenforceable, then, if the Patent Challenge is fully or substantially unsuccessful, Panasonic Idemitsu shall reimburse Universal Display, promptly on demand, for all attorneys’ fees, costs and out-of-pocket expenses reasonably incurred by Universal Display or its licensors of such Universal Display Patents in resisting or responding to the Patent Challenge.  The foregoing shall

ARTICLE 5 – APPOINTMENT AND EXCLUSIVE OLED MATERIAL SUPPLY

5.1           Exclusive Appointment.  Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, UDC hereby appoints PPG as its exclusive supplier of, and PPG hereby agrees to manufacture and sell to UDC, all of UDC's requirements for OLED Chemicals that (i) are developed solely by UDC and are materials that UDC intends during the Term to resell to third parties for their manufacture of OLEDs for commercial sale; or (ii) are or were developed jointly by UDC and PPG through Process Development work conducted hereunder or under the Original Agreement (collectively, “Covered OLED Chemicals”).  UDC shall not sell or otherwise supply Covered OLED Chemicals for use in OLEDs, except those provided by PPG to UDC hereunder.

5.2           Exceptions.  The obligations and restrictions under Section 5.1 above shall not apply under the following circumstances:

5.2.1           UDC’s requirements for the Covered OLED Chemical are in excess of such quantities as PPG is able to reasonably manufacture, alone or in the aggregate with other Covered OLED Chemicals, using its current or anticipated capital equipment and facilities.  For each current Covered OLED Chemical, such maximum quantity has been separately agreed to in writing by the Parties and each of UDC and PPG agrees that such maximum quantity is sufficient for UDC’s reasonably foreseeable needs.  For future Covered OLED Chemicals, or if UDC’s expected requirements for a current Covered OLED Chemical increase substantially, the Parties shall discuss and in good faith endeavor to agree upon a new or revised maximum quantity for the Covered OLED Chemical.  If PPG is to perform Process Development work on the Covered OLED Chemical, PPG shall provide UDC with PPG’s proposed maximum quantity for the Covered OLED Chemical and the Parties shall endeavor to reach such agreement prior to or promptly following UDC’s request for PPG to commence such Process Development work.  If there is a problem that can be circumvented through PPG’s outsourcing of any of the manufacturing process steps, or through the purchase of a Third-Party OLED Material, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue such an alternative approach and the foregoing obligations and restrictions shall continue to apply unless the Parties, despite their good faith efforts, are unable to agree on a viable alternative.

5.2.2           PPG’s pricing or projected pricing for commercial-scale quantities of the Covered OLED Chemical is in excess of that which allows UDC to resell the Covered OLED Chemical for a reasonable profit and UDC has good reason to believe

  

Page 16 of 65

  

that it can obtain the Covered OLED Chemical from another source at pricing that would enable UDC to resell the Covered OLED Chemical for such a profit.  For each current Covered OLED Chemical, PPG pricing or projected pricing for commercial-scale quantities has been separately agreed to in writing by the Parties and each of UDC and PPG agrees that such pricing or projected pricing is currently sufficient for UDC to resell the Covered OLED Chemical for a reasonable profit.  For other Covered OLED Chemicals, or if the pricing at which UDC is able to resell a current Covered OLED Chemical decreases substantially, the Parties shall discuss and in good faith endeavor to agree upon reduced pricing or projected pricing for commercial-scale quantities of the Covered OLED Chemical prior to UDC obtaining the Covered OLED Chemical from another source.  This shall include, without limitation, commercially reasonable efforts to: (i) renegotiate pricing with suppliers of raw materials or Third-Party OLED Materials used to produce the Covered OLED Chemical, (ii) develop alternative, lower-cost suppliers of such raw materials or Third-Party OLED Materials, (iii) outsource additional manufacturing process steps for the Covered OLED Chemical, (iv) perform agreed-upon additional Process Development work to lower PPG’s costs for the Covered OLED Chemical, and (v) revise the multipliers charged by PPG for the Covered OLED Chemical.

5.2.3           PPG is regularly unable to provide commercial-scale quantities of the Covered OLED Chemical that meet its corresponding Material Specifications and pass UDC’s OLED device qualification testing and the Parties, despite their good faith efforts, are unable to timely agree upon and implement a plan for the situation to be remedied.  If there is a problem that can be circumvented through PPG’s outsourcing of any of the manufacturing process steps, or through the purchase of a Third-Party OLED Material, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue such an alternative approach and the foregoing obligations and restrictions shall continue to apply unless the Parties, despite their good faith efforts, are unable to agree on a viable alternative.

5.2.4           The Covered OLED Chemical cannot be manufactured by PPG and supplied to UDC for resale to third parties for use in OLEDs without infringing or otherwise violating the Patent or other proprietary rights of a third party.

5.2.5           The Covered OLED Chemical is only being obtained by UDC in limited quantities for demonstration, testing, evaluation and/or research and development purposes.

5.2.6           The Covered OLED Chemical is designed or intended to be used [***].

5.2.7           UDC and PPG otherwise mutually agree that the Covered OLED Chemical will not be subject to the foregoing obligations and restrictions.

5.2.8           UDC, after using commercially reasonable efforts to preserve the exclusive appointment of PPG under Section 5.1, reasonably determines that it is

  

Page 17 of 65

  

important, to obtain or preserve the business or one or more of its customers, for UDC to [***], whether through [***], in order to meet the needs of such customer(s) [***].  In such event, UDC shall provide PPG with advance written notice prior to the effective date of any such [***], said notice to be provided as far in advance as is reasonably practicable.  In the event that, following such notice period, UDC enters into such [***], UDC and PPG will in good faith negotiate [***], taking into consideration the terms of [***]; provided that, if reasonably acceptable to PPG, [***].

5.2.9           Due to [***], the Covered OLED Chemical is required to be manufactured [***] and PPG is unable or unwilling to manufacture the Covered OLED Chemical [***].  If the problem can be circumvented through PPG’s outsourcing of any of the manufacturing process steps, or through the purchase of a Third-Party OLED Material, then the Parties shall use commercially reasonable efforts to pursue such an alternative approach and the foregoing obligations and restrictions shall continue to apply unless the Parties, despite their good faith efforts, are unable to agree on a viable alternative.

For clarification, subject to Section 11.5, UDC shall be entitled to share Process Development Technical Reports and Batch Sheets with third parties as and to the extent deemed appropriate by UDC, such that PPG shall not claim any information contained therein is Confidential Information of PPG.

5.3           Other OLED Chemical Sales by PPG.

5.3.1           During the Term and for [***] months thereafter, PPG shall not sell or supply Products to persons other than UDC, or assist or authorize any other person to sell or supply Products to persons other than UDC.

5.3.2           During the Term and for [***] months thereafter, PPG shall not sell or supply Competitive OLED Chemicals for any OLED-related uses to persons other than UDC, or assist or authorize any other person to sell or supply Competitive OLED Chemicals for any OLED uses to persons other than UDC.

5.3.3           Should PPG, during the Term or within [***] months thereafter, learn that any person to whom PPG is selling any Competitive OLED Chemical for non-OLED uses is using such Competitive OLED Chemical for OLED uses, PPG agrees to immediately cease supplying such person with such Competitive OLED Chemical unless otherwise agreed in writing by UDC.  Nothing in this Agreement, by implication or otherwise, authorizes PPG to use any UDC Proprietary Materials for Chemicals and/or any Confidential Information of UDC in manufacturing, purifying, analyzing or distributing Products or Competitive OLED Chemicals to persons other than UDC, either during or following the Term.

ARTICLE 6 – PRODUCTS AND SERVICES

6.1           General.

6.1.1           The OLED Chemicals to be supplied pursuant to this Agreement are Products.  PPG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to allocate sufficient resources and adopt sufficient planning procedures to fulfill its obligations to supply Products to UDC hereunder in a timely manner.

6.1.2           The maximum quantity of each current Product that PPG may be required to supply to UDC during any Calendar Quarter has been separately agreed to in writing by the Parties.  The Parties will cooperate in good faith to agree in writing upon such maximum quantity for future Products, or if either Party proposes any changes to a then-existing maximum quantity; provided that, for the avoidance of doubt, in the event that the maximum quantity of a Product required by UDC increases, then, subject to Section 5.2, PPG shall have the exclusive right to supply such additional quantity of Product.

6.1.3           All Products supplied by PPG hereunder shall be manufactured, packaged, stored and shipped according to and in compliance with their corresponding Material Specifications, and in accordance with manufacturing practices as implemented by PPG with respect to other, similar products manufactured by PPG.

6.1.4           The Parties will cooperate in good faith to control PPG’s costs and expenses for each Product supplied to UDC hereunder, and shall use their reasonable best efforts to reduce such costs to the fullest extent reasonably practicable in light of the Product’s corresponding Material Specifications and UDC’s required volumes and lead times, including, without limitation, the cost of raw materials, Third-Party OLED Materials and Intermediates.  PPG shall provide UDC with such reports and other supporting documentation as UDC may reasonably request in connection with monitoring such costs and expenses and PPG’s efforts to control the same.

6.1.5           The Parties recognize that detailed and continuing exchanges of information shall be necessary in order to optimize the administration of this Agreement and PPG’s supply of Products to UDC, consistent with the respective rights and obligations of the Parties hereunder.  To that end, each Party shall designate a representative (and notify the other Party of the individual so designated) responsible for exchanging information and for resolving issues relating to the forecasting, ordering, production, shipment and sales of Products which may arise under this Agreement.  The designated representative of each Party shall conduct planning meetings (which may be by teleconference if practicable) periodically and as may be necessary to address any issues that may arise.

6.2           Raw Materials, Intermediates and Third-Party OLED Materials.

6.2.1           PPG’s Purchase of Raw Materials and Third-Party OLED Materials.  Except as otherwise set forth below, PPG will purchase and maintain a commercially reasonable inventory of raw materials and Third-Party OLED Materials in order to accommodate each Quarterly Product Forecast (as defined in Section 7.1).  Unless otherwise specifically agreed by each Party in writing, PPG shall be responsible administratively for ordering and arranging for the delivery of all raw materials and Third-Party OLED Materials required for Process Development and the manufacture of said Products to PPG’s facility, and PPG shall arrange for the conversion of such raw materials and Third-Party OLED Materials into said Products which PPG shall supply to UDC as set forth herein.  Unless otherwise agreed by each Party in writing, PPG shall also serve as the technical interface with the supplier of such raw materials and Third-Party OLED Materials for quality control and related purposes.  During the Term, PPG shall use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain raw materials hereunder at lower costs, through both standard cost reduction measures and aggressive, extraordinary raw material strategies including, without limitation, should PPG develop and implement raw material recycling techniques that lead to significant cost savings.  [***]

(i)           Raw Materials for Products Other Than Commercial OLED Chemicals.  Upon written approval by UDC to the Manager, Applied Technology for Optical Materials of PPG, PPG will purchase all raw materials for Products other than Commercial OLED Chemicals for UDC’s account.  As used in this Agreement, “for UDC’s account” shall mean that PPG will invoice UDC for the material in question according to Section 9.1 below; however, in all other respects the material shall be purchased and maintained by PPG as if PPG had acquired the material on its own for the manufacture of Products to be supplied to UDC hereunder; provided that, notwithstanding the foregoing, the risk of loss for any material purchased for UDC’s account hereunder shall transfer to UDC upon delivery to PPG, except to the extent that any loss thereafter is caused by the negligence or fault of PPG.

(ii)           Raw Materials for Commercial OLED Chemicals.  In order to reasonably ensure the manufacture and supply of Commercial OLED Chemicals described in each Quarterly Product Forecast, PPG will purchase and maintain at its facility a commercially reasonable inventory of raw materials.  Subject to clause (v) below, PPG will invoice, and UDC will pay for, such raw materials on a Purchase Order-by-Purchase Order basis when UDC makes payment for the completed batch of Product.  However, should UDC specifically request that PPG purchase and maintain an inventory of one or more critical raw materials above and beyond that which is maintained by PPG as described above, PPG shall maintain said additional inventory at such levels as UDC and PPG, from time to time, shall agree in good faith and in writing.  Such additional inventory of raw material (“Additional Commercial Raw Material”) shall be for UDC’s account.

(iii)           Third-Party OLED Materials – Intermediates.  Where the Third-Party OLED Material is an Intermediate, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in

  

Page 20 of 65

  

writing, such Third-Party OLED Material shall be treated, for purposes of this Section 6.2.1, as if it were a raw material covered under clause (i) or clause (ii) above (and clause (v) below), as applicable.

(iv)           Third-Party OLED Materials – Unrefined OLED Chemicals.  Where the Third-Party OLED Material is an unrefined OLED Chemical, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties in writing, such Third-Party OLED Material shall be treated, for purposes of this Section 6.2.1, as if it were a raw material covered under clause (i) or clause (ii) above (and clause (v) below), as applicable.

(v)           Unused Raw Material Inventory.  In the event that any raw material (excluding any Additional Commercial Raw Material) purchased and inventoried by PPG pursuant to clauses (ii), (iii) or (iv) above is not converted to a Commercial OLED Chemical within twelve (12) months following the date of receipt by PPG due to a failure by UDC to submit one or more Purchase Orders that meet the forecasted Products set forth in the applicable Quarterly Product Report, unless otherwise agreed by the Parties, PPG shall invoice, and UDC shall pay for, such unused raw material (each, an “Unused Raw Material”) in accordance with Section 9.1, but without any multiplier being applied.

6.2.2           PPG’s Production of Intermediates.  PPG will recommend to UDC, in writing and on a quarterly basis, the production and maintenance of inventories of Intermediates based upon each Quarterly Product Forecast to be provided by UDC.

(i)           Intermediates for Products Other Than Commercial OLED Chemicals.  Upon written approval by UDC to the Manager, Applied Technology for Optical Materials of PPG, PPG will produce and maintain a reasonable inventory of Intermediates for Products other than Commercial OLED Chemicals for UDC’s account.

(ii)           Intermediates for Commercial OLED Chemicals.  As a general matter, PPG shall be responsible for producing Intermediates sufficiently in advance so as to reasonably ensure the timely manufacture and supply of Commercial OLED Chemicals hereunder.  However, should UDC specifically request that PPG produce and maintain an inventory of one or more Intermediates above and beyond that which is usual and customary for the production of a particular Commercial OLED Chemical, PPG shall maintain said additional inventory at such levels as UDC and PPG, from time to time, shall agree in good faith and in writing.  Such additional inventory shall be for UDC’s account.

6.2.3           Maintenance and Records.  All raw materials and Third-Party OLED Materials purchased by PPG for UDC’s account will be maintained separate from other PPG materials and shall be used solely for the production of Products for UDC hereunder.  PPG will provide UDC with a report summarizing its inventory of raw materials and Third-Party OLED Materials within thirty (30) days prior to the start of each Calendar Quarter and will maintain records as to disposition of such raw materials and Third-Party OLED Materials for a period of six (6) months following the close of

  

Page 21 of 65

  

each Contract Year.  Upon at least thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to PPG, UDC may engage an independent third party to audit such records, subject to PPG’s reasonable confidentiality limitations.

6.2.4           Disposal of Unused Inventory.  If (a) any inventory of raw materials or Third Party OLED Materials obtained pursuant to Section 6.2.1 or (b) any inventory of Intermediates produced pursuant to Section 6.2.2 is not converted to an OLED Chemical within twelve (12) months following receipt or production by PPG, as the case may be, and such inventory is no longer required, then UDC, at its option, shall either (i) pay for disposal of the inventory; (ii) have the inventory shipped to UDC at UDC’s sole cost and expense; or (iii) in the case of raw materials, to the extent possible, return such inventory for credit from supplier of such inventory; provided that, with respect to any inventory of Unused Raw Material, UDC shall have paid in full for all such inventory pursuant to Section 9.1 (but without any multiplier being applied) prior to its disposal.

6.3           Material Specifications.  As a general matter, all Material Specifications shall be proposed by PPG but are subject to final comment and revision and written approval by UDC.  Once approved, the Material Specifications for a given OLED Chemical or Intermediate may be changed only by written agreement of the Parties, which agreement in the case of PPG shall not be unreasonably withheld.  The Parties shall endeavor to establish and agree upon changes to the Material Specifications in a manner designed to ensure that all Products are of high quality and purity, are fit for use in connection with OLEDs, and can be manufactured at a commercially reasonable price; provided however that the Parties are only agreeing to use their good faith efforts to achieve the foregoing goals and, subject thereto, neither Party makes any representation or warranty with respect to the Material Specifications.  With respect to Development OLED Chemicals that are the subject of Process Development, the Parties shall in good faith attempt to agree upon the Material Specifications for such Development OLED Chemicals as part of the Process Development work.  The Parties acknowledge that they will promptly and in good faith agree upon a representative Material Specification in a mutually acceptable format.

6.4           Services and Charges.  Except as otherwise set forth herein, upon UDC’s request by a written Statement of Work and/or Purchase Order, PPG shall supply the following OLED Chemicals and services to UDC, for the charges set forth herein:

PPG shall be responsible for preparing and delivering to UDC Material Safety Data Sheets for all Products supplied hereunder, as may be required under the Occupational Safety and Health Act, regulations promulgated thereunder and any similar state “right-to-know” laws that are currently in force or that may be enacted in the future.  UDC shall be responsible for delivering such

  

Page 36 of 65

  

Material Safety Data Sheets to those persons to whom UDC sells or otherwise supplies the Product.  PPG shall update such Material Safety Data Sheets as necessary to comply with all material legal requirements, and shall promptly provide UDC with such updated Material Safety Data Sheets, which UDC shall deliver to those persons to whom UDC sells or otherwise supplies the Products.  PPG shall be listed as the emergency contact on all container labels and Material Safety Data Sheets for Products supplied hereunder.  In addition, during the term of this Agreement and for twenty-four (24) months thereafter, PPG shall be responsible for emergency response in the case of any emergencies or other incidents involving the Products supplied hereunder.

12.3           Employees and Training.  Each Party shall become reasonably familiar with the OLED Chemicals supplied hereunder and with any raw materials used and/or Wastes generated by such Party during the course of producing, packaging, handling and/or using such OLED Chemicals.

12.4           Notice of Government Action.  Each Party shall promptly notify the other of any information or notice it has or becomes aware of, including, without limitation, any threatened or pending action by any governmental authority, concerning the health and/or environmental risks posed by any OLED Chemical supplied hereunder, or any raw material used or Waste generated during the course of producing or packaging such OLED Chemical, including, but not limited to, information concerning any known or suspected side effects, injuries, toxicity, sensitivity reactions, complaints, alleged defects or other adverse experiences (including the severity thereof) associated with exposure to or use of such items.

Page 37 of 65

  

directors, members, employees, agents and representatives (each, an “Indemnified Party”), from and against any and all claims, demands, liabilities, damages, judgments, penalties, fines, costs, and expenses (including, but not limited to, reasonable attorneys’ fees; collectively “Claims”) incurred by, or rendered against, each such Indemnified Party arising out of any alleged or actual bodily injury to persons, or damage to property, the environment or natural resources, at a facility of PPG or any of its sublicensees, or at a facility or location chosen by PPG or any of its sublicensees for their disposal of Wastes generated in connection with the manufacture of OLED Chemicals supplied under this Agreement, or any other facility or location at which such Wastes are ultimately disposed or come to be located.

14.2           Indemnification Procedures.  UDC shall promptly notify PPG in writing, specifying the nature of any Claim, the total monetary amount sought, and any other relief sought.  Each Indemnified Party shall cooperate with PPG in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense and/or settlement of the Claim.  Any compromise or settlement of a Claim must be approved in writing by both Parties, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld.  Any Indemnified Party’s failure to give timely notice or to provide copies of documents or to furnish relevant data in connection with any Claim shall not constitute a defense (in part or in whole) to any claim for indemnification for such Party, except and only to the extent that such failure results in material prejudice to PPG.  Each Indemnified Party, upon written notice to PPG, shall have the right to employ separate counsel at its own expense and participate in the defense of the Claim.

14.3           Insurance Requirements.  Each Party shall maintain its standard general liability insurance or its self-insurance practices to protect against covered damages, costs or fees (including reasonable attorney’s fees) arising out of or relating to any property damage, bodily injury, sickness, disease or death, caused directly by any negligent act or omission of either Party’s personnel while on premises at the other Party’s facility, and will name the other Party as an additional insured under such insurance.  The insured will provide the other Party with a certificate of such insurance, showing the other as an additional insured, and notify the other of any material changes to the relevant insurance policies.

ARTICLE 15 – UDC COMMON STOCK

15.1           Timing of Share Issuance.  Shares in payment for invoices provided under subsection 9.2.3 above shall be delivered within fifteen (15) days following UDC’s receipt of such invoices.

15.2           Issuance of Shares.  The number of shares of UDC Common Stock to be issued in full or partial payment of any invoiced amount shall equal the quotient of (i) the invoiced amount to be paid in shares, divided by (ii) the Ten-Day Average.  As used herein, the “Ten-Day Average” shall equal the average closing price for UDC Common Stock, as set forth in the NASDAQ Global Market listing of The Wall Street Journal, for 

 

  

Page 38 of 65

  

the ten (10) trading days prior to the close of the Calendar Quarter immediately preceding the date of issuance.

15.3           Representations of PPG.

15.3.1                      Purchase Entirely for Own Account.  The Securities to be received by PPG pursuant to this Agreement will be acquired for investment for PPG’s own account, not as a nominee or agent, and not with a view to the resale or distribution of any part thereof that would violate any applicable federal securities laws, and PPG has no immediate intention of selling, granting any participation in, or otherwise distributing the same except to the extent the same are included in a Registration Statement (as hereinafter defined).  By executing this Agreement, PPG further represents that PPG does not have any contract, undertaking, agreement or arrangement with any person to sell, transfer or grant participations to such person or to any third person, with respect to any of the Securities, other than as provided herein.  PPG represents that it has full power and authority to enter into this Agreement.

15.3.2                      Accredited Status.  PPG is an “accredited investor” within the meaning of Commission Rule 501 of Regulation D, as presently in effect.

15.3.3                      Restricted Securities.  PPG understands that the Securities it is receiving are characterized as “restricted securities” under the federal securities laws inasmuch as they are being acquired from UDC in a transaction not involving a public offering, and that under such laws and applicable regulations such Securities may be resold without registration under the 1933 Act only in certain limited circumstances.  In this connection, PPG represents that it is familiar with Commission Rule 144, as presently in effect, and understands the resale limitations imposed thereby and by the 1933 Act.

15.3.4                      Legends.  It is understood that the certificates evidencing the Securities that may be issued pursuant to this Agreement shall, unless otherwise expressly agreed by the Parties, bear the following legend:

“These securities have not been registered under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.  They may not be sold, offered for sale, pledged or hypothecated in the absence of a registration statement in effect with respect to the securities under such Act or an opinion of counsel satisfactory to the Corporation that such registration is not required or unless sold pursuant to Rule 144 of such Act.”

 

and any other legend required by any applicable state securities laws.  To the extent that such legends are no longer applicable, UDC shall instruct its transfer agent to remove the legends upon request by PPG.

15.4

	
Certain Covenants of UDC.

15.4.1                      Authorized Shares.  All shares of UDC Common Stock issued to PPG in accordance with Section 9.2 above shall be duly authorized, validly issued fully-paid and non-assessable.

15.4.2                      Listing.  UDC shall promptly secure the listing of the Securities upon The NASDAQ Global Market or such other national securities exchange or automated quotation system, if any, upon which shares of UDC Common Stock are then listed (subject to official notice of issuance).  So long as PPG owns any of the Securities, UDC shall maintain, so long as any other shares of UDC Common Stock shall be so listed, such listing of all UDC Common Stock, and shall comply in all respects with UDC’s reporting, filing and other obligations under the bylaws or rules of the National Association of Securities Dealers and such exchanges, as applicable.

15.4.3                      Reports Under 1934 Act.  With a view to making available to PPG the benefits of Rule 144 and any successor or other rule or regulation of the Commission that may at any time permit PPG to sell the Securities to the public without registration, UDC agrees to: (i) make and keep public information available, as those terms are understood and defined in Rule 144, at all times; (ii) file with the Commission in a timely manner all reports required of UDC under the 1934 Act; and (iii) furnish to PPG, so long as PPG owns any Securities, forthwith upon request (a) a written statement by UDC that it has filed with the Commission in a timely manner all reports required of UDC under the 1934 Act, (b) a copy of the most recent annual or quarterly report of UDC and such other reports and documents so filed by UDC, and (c) such other information as may be reasonably requested in availing PPG of any rule or regulation of the Commission which permits the selling of any Securities without registration.

15.5           Certain Sales.

15.5.1                      Short Sales.  During the Term, PPG shall not, and shall cause its affiliates to not, engage in or encourage any third party to engage in any “short sales” (as such term is defined in Rule 3b-3 of the 1934 Act) of UDC Common Stock or any other UDC securities.

15.5.2                      Prohibited Sales During Certain Periods.  During the thirty (30) day period following the end of each Calendar Quarter during the Term (each a “PPG Restricted Period”), PPG shall not offer, sell or contract to sell shares of UDC Common Stock received hereunder or previously under the Original Agreement, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for any share of UDC Common Stock, to the extent that the number of shares of UDC Common Stock subject to such offer, sale or contract to sell would exceed, on any one (1) day during such PPG Restricted Period, twenty-five percent (25%) of the average daily trading volume of shares of UDC Common Stock for the ninety (90) day period immediately preceding the PPG Restricted Period (the “PPG Volume Limit”); provided however that the PPG Volume 

 

  

Page 40 of 65

  

Limit shall not apply to any private placement of shares of UDC Common Stock by PPG.  During each PPG Restricted Period, PPG shall not enter into any swap or hedge arrangement that transfers, in whole or in part, any of the economic consequences of ownership of shares of UDC Common Stock in excess of the PPG Volume Limit, or publicly disclose the intention to make any offer, sale or contract to sell or to enter into any swap or hedge in excess of the PPG Volume Limit.

15.6           Reserved.

ARTICLE 16 – REGISTRATION RIGHTS

16.1           Registration of the Securities.

16.1.1                      Within thirty (30) days following the date any Securities are delivered to PPG as set forth in Section 15.1 above, UDC shall prepare and file with the Commission one or more registration statements (on Form S-3, or other appropriate form of registration statement) under the 1933 Act (each a “Registration Statement”), together with such state law qualifications and other compliances with applicable law, at the sole expense of UDC, in respect of PPG, so as to permit public offering and resale of such Securities (hereinafter, the “Registrable Securities”) under the 1933 Act by PPG.

16.1.2                      UDC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to cause each Registration Statement to be declared effective by the Commission as promptly as is practicable, but in any event within one hundred twenty (120) days following the filing date thereof and within five (5) days after Commission clearance.

16.1.3                      UDC will cause each Registration Statement or any post-effective amendment filed under this Article 16 to remain continuously effective under the 1933 Act until the earliest of (i) the date that none of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement are outstanding; (ii) the date that all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been sold by PPG pursuant to such Registration Statement; (iii) the date that PPG receives an opinion of counsel to UDC, which counsel shall be reasonably acceptable to PPG, that the Registrable Securities may be sold under the provisions of Rule 144 without limitation as to volume or a requirement of “brokers transactions”; (iv) the date that all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement have been otherwise transferred to persons who may trade such shares without restriction under the 1933 Act, and UDC has delivered a new certificate or other evidence of ownership for such Registrable Securities not bearing a restrictive legend; or (v) the date that all of the Registrable Securities covered by such Registration Statement may be sold without any time, volume or manner limitations pursuant to Rule 144(k) or any similar provision then in effect under the 1933 Act in the opinion of counsel to UDC, provided such counsel is reasonably acceptable to PPG.  If, under Commission rules or policies of the Commission staff, any of the Registrable Securities for any reason cannot be included in a Registration Statement initially filed by UDC and must be included in a separate 

 

  

Page 41 of 65

  

registration statement, UDC shall file all such additional registration statements as may be needed to permit PPG to offer and resell to the public all of the Registrable Securities, and the term “Registration Statement” shall for purposes of this Agreement be deemed to include all such additional registration statements.

16.1.4                      All fees, disbursements and out-of-pocket expenses and costs incurred by UDC in connection with the preparation and filing of each Registration Statement under this Article 16, and in complying with applicable federal and state securities laws (including, without limitation, all attorneys’ and accountants’ fees of UDC), shall be borne by UDC.  PPG shall bear the cost of underwriting and/or brokerage discounts, fees and commissions, if any, applicable to its sale of the Registrable Securities and the fees and expenses of its counsel.  PPG and its counsel shall have a reasonable period, of not less than two (2) business days for each Registration Statement filed hereunder and for each amendment or subsequently filed Registration Statement, to review the proposed Registration Statement or any amendment thereto, prior to filing with the Commission, and UDC shall provide PPG with copies of any comment letters received from the Commission and each written response thereto with respect thereto within two (2) business days of receipt or sending thereof.  UDC shall make reasonably available for inspection by PPG, any underwriter participating in any disposition pursuant to such Registration Statement, and any attorney, accountant or other agent retained by PPG or any such underwriter all financial and other records, pertinent corporate documents and properties of UDC and its subsidiaries, and cause UDC’s officers, directors and employees to be reasonably available for discussions with and to supply all information reasonably requested by such PPG or any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent in connection with each Registration Statement, in each case, as is customary for similar due diligence examinations; provided, however, that all records, information and documents that are designated in writing by UDC, in good faith, as confidential, proprietary or containing any material non-public information shall be kept confidential by PPG and any such underwriter, attorney, accountant or agent (pursuant to an appropriate confidentiality agreement in the case of any such underwriter or agent), unless such disclosure is made pursuant to judicial process in a court proceeding (after first giving UDC an opportunity promptly to seek a protective order or otherwise limit the scope of the information sought to be disclosed) or is required by law, or such records, information or documents become available to the public generally or through a third party not in violation of an accompanying obligation of confidentiality; and provided further that, if the foregoing inspection and information gathering would otherwise unreasonably disrupt UDC’s conduct of its business, such inspection and information gathering shall, to the maximum extent reasonably practicable, be coordinated on behalf of PPG and the other persons entitled thereto by one firm of counsel reasonably acceptable to PPG and such other persons.  To the extent necessary, UDC shall qualify any of the Registrable Securities for sale in such states as such PPG reasonably designates, except that UDC shall not be required to qualify in any state which will require an escrow relating to UDC and/or the sellers of Registrable Securities, or which will require UDC to qualify to do business in such state or require UDC to file therein any general consent to service of process.  UDC, at its expense, will supply PPG with copies of each 

 

  

Page 42 of 65

  

Registration Statement and the prospectus included therein and other related documents in such quantities as may be reasonably requested by PPG.

16.1.5                      If UDC delivers to PPG a certificate signed by UDC’s President and Chief Operating Officer and Chief Financial Officer to the effect that (i) UDC is aware of nonpublic information concerning UDC that has not been disclosed in a Registration Statement either by incorporation of 1934 Act filings by UDC or by information included directly in such Registration Statement, and (ii) in the good faith judgment of UDC, the disclosure of such information in such Registration Statement may have a material adverse effect on the business, operations, properties, assets, prospects or condition (financial or otherwise) of UDC, then, PPG agrees not to effect any sales of Registrable Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement until such time as PPG (a) is advised in writing by UDC that the use of the applicable prospectus contained in such Registration Statement may be resumed, (b) has received copies of a supplemental or amended prospectus, if applicable, containing such information and (c) has received copies of one or more additional or supplemental filings, if any, which are incorporated or deemed to be incorporated by reference in such prospectus and which contain such information.  UDC agrees to, as promptly as practicable, prepare any supplement or amendment to the applicable prospectus or to make any additional or supplemental filings so that, as thereafter delivered to the purchasers of such Registrable Securities, such prospectus will not contain any untrue statement of material fact or omit to state any fact necessary to make the statements therein not misleading.

16.2          PPG’s Obligations.

16.2.1              Cooperation with UDC.  PPG will cooperate with UDC in all respects in connection with this Article 16, including, without limitation, by timely supplying all information reasonably requested by UDC (which shall include all information regarding PPG and proposed manner of sale of the Registrable Securities required to be disclosed in a Registration Statement), and by executing and returning to UDC or its counsel all documents reasonably requested in connection with the registration and sale of the Registrable Securities.

16.2.2              “Market Stand-Off” Agreement.  Unless otherwise consented to in writing by the managing underwriter, PPG shall not effect any public sale or distribution of equity securities of UDC, or any securities convertible into or exchangeable or exercisable for such securities, during the seven (7) days prior to and the ninety (90) days after any underwritten registered public offering of UDC Common Stock or other UDC securities (except as part of such underwritten registered public offering) if PPG is a selling stockholder in such underwritten registered public offering.  UDC may impose stop-transfer instructions with respect to the shares of UDC Common Stock or other UDC securities subject to the foregoing restriction until the end of any such period.

16.3          Registration Procedures.  In addition to the requirements of Section 16.1 above, UDC shall (except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement), as expeditiously as possible, subject to PPG’s compliance with subsection 16.2.1 above:

  

Page 43 of 65

  

16.3.1                      prepare and file with the Commission such amendments and supplements to each Registration Statement and the prospectus used in connection therewith as may be necessary to keep such Registration Statement effective and to comply with the provisions of the 1933 Act with respect to the sale or other disposition of all Securities covered by such Registration Statement (including prospectus supplements with respect to the sales of securities on a delayed or continuous basis in connection with a registration statement pursuant to Rule 415 promulgated under the 1933 Act);

16.3.2                      take all lawful action such that (i) each Registration Statement and any amendment thereto does not, when it becomes effective, contain an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, not misleading; and (ii) the prospectus forming part of each Registration Statement, and any amendment or supplement thereto, does not, at any time during the period set forth in subsection 16.1.3 above, include an untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading;

16.3.3                      prior to the filing with the Commission of any Registration Statement (including any amendments thereto) and the distribution or delivery of any prospectus (including any supplements thereto), (i) provide draft copies thereof to PPG and reflect in such documents all such comments as PPG (and its counsel) reasonably may propose; and (ii) furnish to PPG such numbers of copies of a prospectus including a preliminary prospectus or any amendment or supplement to any prospectus, as applicable, in conformity with the requirements of the 1933 Act, and such other documents, as PPG may reasonably request in order to facilitate the public sale or other disposition of the Registrable Securities;

16.3.4                      to the extent necessary, register and qualify the Securities covered by a Registration Statement under applicable state securities laws, do any and all other acts and things which may be reasonably necessary or advisable to enable PPG to consummate the public sale or other disposition in such jurisdictions within the United States of America of the Registrable Securities, except that UDC shall not be required to qualify in any state which will require an escrow relating to UDC and/or the sellers of Registrable Securities, or which will require UDC to qualify to do business in such state or require UDC to file therein any general consent to service of process;

16.3.5                      subject to the provisions of subsection 16.1.5 above, (i) notify PPG, at any time when a prospectus included in a Registration Statement is required to be delivered under the 1933 Act, upon becoming aware of the happening of any event as a result of which the prospectus included in such Registration Statement, as then in effect, includes an untrue statement of a material fact or omits to state a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading in the light of the circumstances then existing; and (ii) prepare and file

a curative amendment or 1934 Act filing deemed incorporated by reference in such Registration Statement under applicable provisions of this Article 16 as promptly as is reasonably practicable;

16.3.7                      cooperate with PPG to facilitate the timely preparation and delivery of certificates for the Securities to be offered pursuant to a Registration Statement and enable such certificates for the Securities to be in such denominations or amounts, as the case may be, as PPG reasonably may request and to be registered in such names as PPG may request, and, within three (3) business days after a Registration Statement that includes Securities is declared effective by the Commission, deliver and/or cause legal counsel selected by UDC to deliver to the transfer agent for the Securities (with copies to PPG) an appropriate instruction and, to the extent necessary, an opinion of such counsel;

16.3.8                      take all such other lawful actions as are reasonably necessary to expedite and facilitate the disposition by PPG of the Securities in accordance with the intended methods therefor provided in the prospectus and as is otherwise customary for issuers to perform under the circumstances;

in connection therewith as are reasonably requested in order to expedite or facilitate the disposition of the Securities, and in such connection (i)(A) make such representations and warranties to PPG and to the underwriters, in form, substance and scope as are customarily made by issuers in such agreements and (B) notify PPG and the underwriters if such representations and warranties cease to be true and correct in any material respect prior to the completion of all transactions contemplated by such agreements; (ii) obtain opinions of counsel to UDC and updates thereof (which counsel and opinions (in form, substance and scope) shall be reasonably satisfactory to PPG and the managing underwriters) addressed to such parties and covering such matters as are customarily covered in opinions requested in underwritten offerings and such other matters as may be reasonably requested by PPG or the managing underwriters; and (iii) obtain "comfort" letters and updates thereof from the independent registered public accounting firm of UDC (and, if necessary, any other independent certified public accountants of any subsidiary of UDC or of any business acquired by UDC for which financial statements and financial data are, or are required to be, included in a Registered Statement), addressed to PPG and the underwriters, in form, substance and scope which shall be reasonably satisfactory to PPG and the underwriters and covering matters of the type customarily covered in "comfort" letters in connection with such underwritten offerings;

16.3.12              maintain a transfer agent and CUSIP number for the UDC Common Stock; and

16.3.13              reasonably cooperate with PPG to carry out the intent of this Section 16.

16.4           Rank.  UDC shall not be precluded from granting registration rights to other persons, provided that no such grant shall interfere with or purport to delay or subordinate any of PPG’s rights under this Agreement.

16.5           Indemnification.

16.5.1              UDC shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless PPG, and any underwriter (as defined in the 1933 Act) for PPG, and each person, if any, who controls PPG or underwriter within the meaning of the 1933 Act or 1934 Act (“Selling Person”) against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities, joint or several (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees), to which the Selling Person may become subject, under the 1933 Act, the 1934 Act, any state securities law or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration Statement, or any related preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto; or (ii) the omission or alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading; or (iii) any violation or alleged violation by UDC of the 1933 Act, 1934 Act, or any state securities law, or any rules or 

 

  

Page 46 of 65

  

regulations of governmental agencies promulgated thereunder; provided, however, that UDC will not be liable in any such case to the extent that any such loss, claim, damage or liability arises out of or is based upon an untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to UDC by the Selling Person, specifically for use in the preparation thereof.  This Section shall not inure to the benefit of any Selling Person with respect to any person asserting such loss, claim, damage or liability who purchased the Securities which are the subject thereof if, and to the extent such loss or other claim arises from the fact or alleged fact that, the Selling Person failed to send or give (in violation of the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder) a copy of the prospectus contained in such Registration Statement to such person at or prior to time required under the 1933 Act, where the Selling Person was obligated to do so under the 1933 Act or the rules and regulations promulgated thereunder.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which UDC may otherwise have.

16.5.2              PPG shall cause each Selling Person, severally and not jointly, to agree in writing to indemnify and hold harmless UDC, and each officer, director of UDC or person, if any, who controls UDC within the meaning of the 1933 Act, against any losses, claims, damages or liabilities (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees) to which UDC or any such officer, director or controlling person may become subject under the 1933 Act or otherwise, insofar as such losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) arise out of or are based upon (i) any untrue statement or alleged untrue statement of any material fact contained in a Registration Statement, or any related preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto; or (ii) the omission or the alleged omission of a material fact required to be stated therein or necessary to make the statements therein not misleading, but in each case only to the extent that such untrue statement or alleged untrue statement or omission or alleged omission was made in such Registration Statement, preliminary prospectus, final prospectus or amendment or supplement thereto in reliance upon, and in conformity with, written information furnished to UDC by such Selling Person, specifically for use in the preparation thereof.  This indemnity agreement will be in addition to any liability which the Selling Person may otherwise have.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Selling Person shall not be liable under this Section for any amount in excess of the net proceeds to such Selling Person as a result of the sale of Securities pursuant to such Registration Statement.

16.5.3              Promptly after receipt by an indemnified party under this Section 16.5 of notice of the commencement of any action, such indemnified party will, if a claim in respect thereof is to be made against the indemnifying party under this Section 16.5, notify the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof; but the omission so to notify the indemnifying party will not relieve the indemnifying party from any liability which it may have to any indemnified party except to the extent of actual prejudice demonstrated by the indemnifying party.  In case any such action is brought against any 

 

  

Page 47 of 65

  

indemnified party, and where it notifies the indemnifying party of the commencement thereof, the indemnifying party will be entitled to participate in and, to the extent that it may wish, jointly with any other indemnifying party similarly notified, assume the defense thereof.  Subject to the provisions herein stated and after notice from the indemnifying party to such indemnified party of its election so to assume the defense thereof, the indemnifying party will not be liable to such indemnified party under this Section 16.5 for any legal or other expenses subsequently incurred by such indemnified party in connection with the defense thereof other than reasonable costs of investigation, unless the indemnifying party shall not pursue the action to its final conclusion.  The indemnified party shall have the right to employ separate counsel in any such action and to participate in the defense thereof, but the fees and expenses of such counsel shall not be at the expense of the indemnifying party if the indemnifying party has assumed the defense of the action with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party; provided that if the indemnified party is the Selling Person, the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be at the expense of the indemnifying party if (i) the employment of such counsel has been specifically authorized in writing by the indemnifying party, or (ii) the named parties to any such action (including any impleaded parties) include both the Selling Person and the indemnifying party and the Selling Person shall have been advised by such counsel that there may be one or more legal defenses available to the indemnifying party different from or in conflict with any legal defenses which may be available to the Selling Person (in which case the indemnifying party shall not have the right to assume the defense of such action on behalf of the Selling Person, it being understood, however, that the indemnifying party shall, in connection with any one such action or separate but substantially similar or related actions in the same jurisdiction arising out of the same general allegations or circumstances, be liable only for the reasonable fees and expenses of one separate firm of attorneys for the Selling Person, which firm shall be designated in writing by the Selling Person).  No settlement of any action against an indemnified party shall be made without the prior written consent of the indemnified party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.  All fees and expenses of the indemnified party (including reasonable costs of defense and investigation in a manner not inconsistent with this subsection and all reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses) shall be paid to the indemnified party, as incurred, within ten (10) business days of written notice thereof to the indemnifying party (regardless of whether it is ultimately determined that an indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder; provided, that the indemnifying party may require such indemnified party to undertake to reimburse all such fees and expenses to the extent it is finally judicially determined that such indemnified party is not entitled to indemnification hereunder).

16.5.4              In order to provide for just and equitable contribution under the 1933 Act in any case in which (i) the indemnified party makes a claim for indemnification pursuant to this Section 16.5 but is judicially determined (by the entry of a final judgment or decree by a court of competent jurisdiction and the expiration of time to appeal or the denial of the last right of appeal) that such indemnification may not be enforced in such case notwithstanding the fact that the express provisions of this Section 16.5 provide for indemnification in such case; or (ii) contribution under the 1933 Act may be required on 

 

  

Page 48 of 65

  

the part of any indemnified party, then UDC and the applicable Selling Person shall contribute to the aggregate losses, claims, damages or liabilities to which they may be subject (which shall, for all purposes of this Agreement, include, but not be limited to, all reasonable costs of defense and investigation and all reasonable attorneys’ fees), in either such case (after contribution from others) on the basis of relative fault as well as any other relevant equitable considerations.  The relative fault shall be determined by reference to, among other things, whether the untrue or alleged untrue statement of a material fact or the omission or alleged omission to state a material fact relates to information supplied by UDC on the one hand or the applicable Selling Person on the other hand, and the Parties’ relative intent, knowledge, access to information and opportunity to correct or prevent such statement or omission.  UDC and the Selling Person agree that it would not be just and equitable if contribution pursuant to this Section 16.5 were determined by pro rata allocation or by any other method of allocation which does not take account of the equitable considerations referred to in this subsection.  The amount paid or payable by an indemnified party as a result of the losses, claims, damages or liabilities (or actions in respect thereof) referred to above in this Section 16.5 shall be deemed to include any legal or other expenses reasonably incurred by such indemnified party in connection with investigating or defending any such action or claim.  Notwithstanding the provisions of this subsection, in no case shall any Selling Person be liable or responsible for any amount in excess of the net proceeds received by such Selling Person from the offering of Registrable Securities and UDC shall be liable and responsible for any amount in excess of such proceeds.  No person guilty of fraudulent misrepresentation (within the meaning of Section 11(f) of the 1933 Act) shall be entitled to contribution from any person who was not guilty of such fraudulent misrepresentation.

16.5.5              Notwithstanding any other provision of this Section 16.5, in no event shall (i) PPG be required to undertake liability to any person under this Section 16.5 for any amounts in excess of the dollar amount of the net proceeds to be received by PPG from the sale of such person’s Securities (after deducting any fees, discounts and commissions applicable thereto) pursuant to any Registration Statement under which such Securities are to be registered under the 1933 Act; and (ii) any underwriter be required to undertake liability to any person hereunder for any amounts in excess of the aggregate discount, commission or other compensation payable to such underwriter with respect to the Securities underwritten by it and distributed pursuant to such Registration Statement.

16.6          Liquidated Damages.  The Parties hereto agree that PPG will suffer damages if UDC fails to fulfill its obligations under subsection 16.1.1 or subsection 16.1.2 above, and that it would not be feasible to ascertain the extent of such damages.  Accordingly:

16.6.1                      if a Registration Statement is not filed within thirty (30) days after the date on which such Registration Statement is to be filed pursuant to subsection 16.1.1 above, UDC will be obligated to pay liquidated damages to PPG in the form of shares of UDC Common Stock in an amount equal to the quotient of [***] divided by the 

 

  

Page 49 of 65

  

Average Price for each month or portion thereof during which such Registration Statement has not been filed after such thirty (30) day period; and

16.6.2                      if a Registration Statement has not been declared effective within one hundred twenty (120) days after the date of its filing, then UDC will be obligated to pay liquidated damages to PPG in the form of shares of UDC Common Stock in an amount equal to the quotient of [***] divided by the Average Price for each month or portion thereof during which such Registration Statement has not been declared effective after such one hundred twenty (120) day period.

16.6.3                      For purposes of this Section 16.6, the “Average Price” shall equal, for any month, the average closing price for UDC Common Stock, as set forth in the NASDAQ Global Market listing of The Wall Street Journal, for the ten (10) trading days prior to the close of the Calendar Quarter immediately preceding such month.

16.6.4                      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section16.6, UDC shall not be required to pay liquidated damages to PPG if PPG failed to comply with its obligations under Section 16.2.

ARTICLE 21 – MISCELLANEOUS

21.1           Force Majeure.  If the performance of this Agreement by either Party should be prevented, delayed, restricted, or interfered with by any man-made or natural catastrophe, or any other circumstances outside the control of such Party and not due to its negligence that is recognized under international commercial practice as constituting a force majeure event, then the Party so affected shall, upon giving prompt notice of such event to the other Party, be excused from such performance to the extent of such prevention, delay, restriction, or interference, provided that the Party so affected shall use its best efforts to avoid or remove such causes of nonperformance and promptly resume performance hereunder when such causes have been removed.  

 

  

Page 52 of 65

  

Upon such circumstances arising, the Parties shall promptly consult as to what, if any, modification to the terms of the Agreement shall be required to arrive at an equitable solution; and, if such nonperformance appears likely to continue for a period of time in excess of thirty (30) days and the affected Party’s nonperformance appears likely to cause serious hardship to the other Party, such other Party may terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ prior written notice to the affected Party.

21.2           Assignment; Binding Effect.  Neither Party may assign or transfer to any person, firm, or corporation, any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other Party, except that either Party may assign this Agreement to an entity which acquires all or substantially all of its assets relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, or to an entity which merges or consolidates with it.  Any prohibited assignment of this Agreement or the obligations hereunder shall be null and void.  No permitted assignment shall relieve PPG or UDC of responsibility for the performance of any accrued obligations which it has prior to such assignment.  Any permitted assignment shall obligate the assignee or successor in interest of PPG or UDC to be bound by the terms and obligations of this Agreement.  Subject to the foregoing, all of the terms, conditions and provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of each Party’s permitted successors and assigns.

21.3           Third-Party Beneficiaries.  Except as expressly stated herein, nothing in this Agreement shall confer any rights upon any person other than the Parties hereto and their respective permitted successors and assigns.

21.4           Non-Use of Names.  PPG shall not use the names of Princeton University or USC in connection with any products, promotion or advertising without the prior consent of Princeton University or USC, except to the extent reasonably required by law.  Notwithstanding the foregoing sentence, PPG may state that certain of its rights hereunder are sublicense rights under the Princeton License Agreement.

21.5           Governing Law.  This Agreement will be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, irrespective of its provisions regarding conflicts of laws.

21.6           Entire Agreement.  This Agreement, together will its Exhibits, constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties regarding the subject matter hereof.  Neither Party has made any representation, promises or warranties not herein expressly stated.  This Agreement may not be modified except by a written instrument signed by both Parties to this Agreement.

21.7           Waivers.  No waiver by any Party of any condition, or the breach of any term, covenant, agreement, representation, or warranty contained in this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be a further or continuing waiver of any such condition or breach of any other term, covenant, agreement, representation, or warranty contained in this Agreement.

21.8           Dispute Resolution.

21.8.1                      Except to the extent of a claim to enforce intellectual property rights or confidentiality obligations, and as a precondition to instituting any legal action permitted by the provisions below, any controversy, claim or dispute between the Parties arising out of or relating to the provision of this Agreement or the breach, termination or a validity thereof shall, upon written request of either Party, immediately be referred jointly for resolution to senior executives of each of the Parties who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a higher level of management than the person(s) with direct responsibility for day-to-day administration of this Agreement.  Within fifteen (15) days after delivery of the written request of a Party, the receiving Party shall submit to the other a written response.  The request notice and the response shall each include: (i) a statement of the respective Party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position; and (ii) the name and title of any other person who will accompany the senior executive.  Within thirty (30) days after delivery of the disputing Party’s request notice, the senior executives of both Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt in good faith to resolve the controversy.  The Parties agree to honor all reasonable requests for information.  All negotiations pursuant to this provision are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence.

21.8.2                      If the controversy has not been resolved by negotiation within forty-five (45) days of the disputing Party’s request notice, or if the Parties failed to meet within thirty (30) days of such request notice, the Parties agree to attempt to settle the dispute by mediation under the mediation procedure rules then in effect of the CPR Institute or any rules mutually agreed upon by the Parties.  Unless otherwise agreed, the Parties shall select a neutral mediator from the CPR Panels of Distinguished Neutrals.  All mediation proceedings are non-binding.

21.8.3                      This mediation must be concluded within any period mutually agreed upon by the Parties or if there is no such agreement, then within forty-five (45) days of the selection of the mediator.  Unless the Parties expressly agree otherwise, each Party shall bear its own costs, legal and expert fees incurred in mediation, and evenly share the costs of the mediator.  If after proceeding in good faith (i) the Parties are unable to agree on a neutral mediator within thirty (30) days of the failure of the senior executives to meet or to resolve the dispute in accordance with subsection 21.8.2 above, whichever is earlier; or (ii) with the assistance of a neutral mediator, the Parties do not resolve the dispute within the period prescribed in this subsection, the Parties may proceed in accordance with subsection 21.8.4 below.

21.8.4                      After exhausting the procedures set forth above, either Party may initiate litigation to resolve the dispute.  The litigation shall be commenced only in a state court or federal court located in Philadelphia or Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and each Party hereto submits to the jurisdiction of the court in which such litigation is commenced.

  

Page 54 of 65

  

21.8.5                      In the event of any dispute involving termination of this Agreement by a Party, such termination shall be suspended for so long as the other Party is acting in good faith to resolve the dispute in accordance with the provisions of this Section 21.8; provided, however, that if the basis for termination concerns UDC’s non-payment of PPG’s charges for a particular service provided by PPG hereunder, PPG may suspend its continued provision of said service, without impacting the other obligations of either Party hereunder, until the matter is resolved to the reasonable satisfaction of both Parties.

21.8.6                      Nothing in this Section 21.8 shall prohibit either Party from seeking equitable relief to restrain or prevent a breach of this Agreement at any time.

21.9           Severability.  If the final judgment of a court of competent jurisdiction declares that any term or provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, the Parties agree that the court making the determination of invalidity or unenforceability will have the power to reduce the scope, duration or area of the term or provision, to delete specific words or phrases, or to replace any invalid or unenforceable term or provision with a term or provision that is valid and enforceable and that comes closest to expressing the intention of the invalid or unenforceable term or provision, and this Agreement will be enforceable as so modified after the expiration of the time within which the judgment may be appealed.

21.10           Independent Contractors.  In making and performing this Agreement, the Parties are acting and shall act as independent contractors.  Neither Party is, nor will be deemed to be, an agent, legal representative, joint venturer, partner or employee of the other Party for any purpose.

21.11            Press Releases.  The Parties shall agree on the language of any press releases or public disclosures regarding the existence of this Agreement and/or its terms and conditions prior to the issuance or release thereof.  Language that has been approved by either Party need not be reapproved for subsequent release by the other Party in the absence of notice to the contrary.  Nothing in this Section shall prevent either Party from complying with any applicable securities or other laws.

21.12           Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or more counterparts, each of which shall be binding as of the date executed by both Parties, and all of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.  Each such copy shall be deemed an original, and it shall not be necessary in making proof of this Agreement to produce or account for more than one such counterpart.  This Agreement shall be deemed executed by the Parties when any one or more counterparts hereof, individually or taken together, bears the signatures of each of the Parties hereto.  This Agreement, once executed by a Party, may be delivered to the other Party by facsimile transmission of a copy thereof that bears the signature of the Party so delivering it.

Exhibit B

PPG Quality Assurance Control Plan

Customer needs and expectations are determined through the use of the Gatekeeper process (Staged Gate Process).  This process monitors compliance of purchased and manufactured materials with applicable regulatory environmental, health, and safety requirements.  This process is also a guide to determining the specifications for purchased and manufactured materials along with writing standard procedures for safer and consistent manufacture/handling/storage/shipment of materials.  A lot number to provide traceability identifies critical raw materials, intermediates, and products.  Critical raw materials, critical isolated intermediates, and products are tested to monitor for compliance with applicable specifications.  Changes to written standard procedures are done through a documented Management of Change (MOC) process.   The MOC process identifies potential impacts on environmental, health, & safety and product quality along with standard procedures.  Customer notification is part of the MOC process.
