All such end user license agreements for Third Party Software shall be perpetual use licenses.

 

4.6           “Improvements” Defined.  As used in this Section 4, “Improvements” means improvements, additions, or modifications to the Equipment or to the use or application of Equipment that IM or ATMI, as applicable, conceives, reduces to practice or otherwise develops, other than Updates (as defined in Section 4.12), after the Delivery Date.  “ATMI Improvements” means Improvements wholly conceived, reduced to practice, or otherwise developed by ATMI that were not known to IM prior to Formal Disclosure by ATMI to IM (as defined in Section 4.8.2), or that were not generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of Formal Disclosure.  “ATMI Use Improvements” means ATMI Improvements that are new methods of use or modifications to existing methods of use of Equipment in Wets Processing that can be implemented without any improvements, additions or modifications to the Equipment.  ATMI Improvements shall not include improvements to the Equipment manufactured by Symyx Technologies, Inc. that is identified as item 3 in Annex 1 to the Purchase Documentation in Exhibit A, or improvements to Informatics Software.  “IM Improvements” means Improvements wholly conceived or reduced to practice by IM.

 

4.7           IM Improvements.  IM Improvements are not included within the scope of rights granted hereunder.  IM may periodically offer IM Improvements for sale or license to ATMI and will negotiate in good faith with ATMI terms in connection therewith; provided, that IM will offer to ATMI any IM Improvements that it makes generally available to its other customers, except as limited by any Third Party agreement.  Any such sale or license shall require the mutual execution of Purchase Documentation explicitly describing the sale or license to ATMI of IM Improvements.

 

4.8           ATMI Improvements.  All improvements to the HPC Technology derived from, based on, or invented in whole or in part through ATMI’s use of the Wets Workflow pursuant to this Agreement or using the Wets Workflow purchased herein, whether an ATMI Improvement or not, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, shall be owned by IM and if initially conceived, reduced to practice or

developed by ATMI (whether or not implemented by IM as set forth in Section 4.8.1), shall be assigned to IM as set forth in Section 4.2.  IM hereby grants a non-exclusive, royalty-free license (i.e., IM shall not increase the HPC Site License or HPC Enabled Software License due to the implementation or use of such Improvement) to ATMI to use any Improvement (other than an IM Improvement) on or with any Wets Workflow for which ATMI continues to pay the HPC Site License fee and continues to license the HPC-Enabled Informatics Software.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, no license to ATMI to use HPC Technology beyond the term or beyond the scope of any license granted to ATMI to use HPC Technology is intended or granted by the preceding sentence.  Any notification of a proposed ATMI Improvement shall comply with the procedure set forth in Section 4.8.2, below.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if IM wishes to commercialize any non-obvious ATMI Improvement for sale to third parties, IM shall first negotiate with ATMI in good faith to agree upon reasonable compensation to ATMI in view of the contribution of the ATMI Improvement to the value of the Wets Workflow or a component thereof.  If the Parties cannot agree on such compensation then they shall follow the provisions of Section 4.8.3.

 

4.8.1        Any implementation by IM of ATMI Improvements on ATMI’s behalf shall be the subject of a separately executed statement of work between the parties that shall specify the commercial and other terms.

 

4.8.2        ATMI may disclose ATMI Improvements to IM pursuant to this paragraph.  Before fully disclosing any Confidential Information with respect to an ATMI Improvement to IM, ATMI shall first send a written non-Confidential summary of the proposed ATMI Improvement to the attention of the IM Legal Department.  Within [*] days of the non-confidential disclosure, IM shall inform ATMI that IM either does or does not wish to receive a more detailed description of the proposed ATMI Improvement that ATMI may label as Confidential Information (“Formal Disclosure”).  If IM does not wish to receive the more detailed description of the ATMI Improvement, ATMI may maintain such ATMI Improvement as a trade secret.  For the avoidance of doubt, the preceding sentence shall not change the provisions of this Agreement concerning ownership of Improvements.  Furthermore, IM’s ability to sell, license and sub-license HPC Technology shall not be limited by (i) the non-Confidential disclosure above or (ii) any disclosure by ATMI to IM employees separate from any Formal Disclosure (other than disclosures to IM employees that are subject to the IP firewall described in Section 7.5(a) hereof) of an ATMI Improvement that ATMI decides to maintain as a trade secret.  Within a reasonable time after its receipt of the Formal Disclosure, IM shall provide notice to ATMI that either (a) IM does not wish to implement the proposed ATMI Improvement, and that it is returning the Confidential Information (except as required for archival purposes), or (b) IM wishes to further study the feasibility of implementing or commercializing the ATMI Improvement including a

proposal on how to proceed.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, during the one-year period following final acceptance of the first Wets Workflow sold under this Agreement, ATMI shall disclose no more than two (2) potential ATMI Improvements during anyone of the four three-month periods immediately following said final acceptance for consideration by IM above.  The restrictions set forth in Section 4.13.1 only shall apply to ATMI Improvements for which there has been a Formal Disclosure (provided that the foregoing shall in no way change or reduce IM’s obligations pursuant to Section 7.5(a) hereof).  References to obligations and disclosures Section 7.5 in this Section specifically exclude disclosures by ATMI to IM employees related to improvements, changes or modifications to the Equipment and IM shall be free to sell, license and sub-license HPC Technology relating to Equipment disclosed outside of the Formal Disclosure process.  If ATMI proposes an ATMI Improvement following said one-year period, the parties will negotiate in good faith on a case by case basis any special terms and conditions that will be applicable to the sale to Third Parties of Equipment into which such future ATMI Improvements may be implemented.

 

4.8.3        Notwithstanding Section 12.16 of this Agreement, in the event that the parties cannot agree for a period of [*] after escalation to their respective chief executive officers to a reasonable compensation for a Section 4.8 proposal, then either party may submit the issue of the amount of compensation due to ATMI if IM implements the ATMI Improvement to final and binding arbitration, before a single, mutually-acceptable arbitrator, conducted in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of AAA, solely for determination of the reasonable compensation. If the parties are unable to select a mutually acceptable arbitrator, AAA shall appoint an arbitrator or provide a method for selection.  Any arbitration proceedings shall be conducted in Phoenix, Arizona.  Each party shall bear its own expenses, including attorneys’ fees, and the parties will share equally the costs and fees of the arbitrator.  Prior to the actual arbitration hearing, each party shall provide the arbitrator a written proposal for a reasonable compensation that such party believes to be fair to both parties in the circumstances.  The arbitrator must render a written decision within ten (10) days of the hearing in favor of one party’s proposal or the other, without modification.  The arbitrator must determine the prevailing party by assessing the proposal, and its fairness in light of the relevant Intellectual Property Rights, technology contributions, and development and commercialization costs and expenses of each party, as well as the potential markets for the proposed application and whether third party Intellectual Property Rights, development efforts, commercialization efforts or investment is required to commercialize the proposed application.  The parties shall use all reasonable efforts to complete any arbitration subject to this section within three (3) months from the filing of notice of a request for such arbitration.  The parties

13

 

undertake and agree that all arbitral proceedings shall be kept confidential, and all information, documentation, materials in whatever form disclosed in the course of such arbitral proceeding shall be used solely for the purpose of those proceedings.  Nothing in this section shall require IM to implement the ATMI Improvement following the decision of the arbitrator.

 

4.9           Restrictions.  Except as expressly permitted by this Agreement, ATMI agrees that it will not itself, and will not through any parent, subsidiary, Affiliate, agent, or other Third Party, directly or indirectly, do any of the following:  (i) reproduce, distribute, copy, sell, create derivative works of, lease, license, or sublicense the Informatics Software or any component of either, or any documentation delivered to it pursuant to this Agreement; (ii) use the Informatics Software in connection with any equipment other than the Equipment and the Informatics Hardware; (iii) attempt, or permit any Third Party, to reverse engineer, disassemble, decrypt, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the Informatics Software; or (iv) use any Informatics Software that may be licensed hereunder in connection with any time-sharing or other multi-user network or service bureau. ATMI agrees that access to any Equipment, Informatics Hardware, and/or Informatics Software shall be limited to Named Users who are employees of ATMI (and independent contractors approved by IM in writing, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld) working directly with ATMI.

 

4.10         Named Users.  ATMI agrees to establish and maintain records of the identities of Named Users and changes thereto, and to make such records available to IM upon request.

 

4.11         Legend.  All copies of the Informatics Software shall include IM’s copyright, trademarks, patent numbers, and other proprietary notices in the manner in which such notices were placed by IM on such Informatics Software.  Further, IM may label the Equipment with a permanent non-erasable identification label including but not limited to IM’s name, IM’s model number, a sequential serial number in IM’s standard format, date of manufacture, location manufactured, and specification version to which the Equipment was manufactured.  ATMI shall not remove, obscure, or alter IM’s copyright notices, trademarks, patent numbers, or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or contained within the Informatics Software or the Equipment.

 

4.12         Updates.  Subject to payment by ATMI of the amounts set forth in the applicable Purchase Documentation, throughout the term specified in Purchase Documentation that IM has agreed to provide support Informatics Software (the “Support Term”), IM will provide ATMI with error corrections, bug fixes or workarounds (“Updates”) to the Informatics Software that is developed by IM solely to ensure that the Informatics Software performs in accordance with its Specifications, as IM makes those Updates generally available to its customers. Updates will also include improvements to the Informatics Software developed by

IM that may be released by IM from time to time, other than upgrades of the Informatics Software that are offered to IM’s customers for a separate fee.

 

4.13         Excluded Companies.

 

4.13.1     Subject to Section 4.8, IM agrees that it will not, except with the written consent of ATMI, either:

 

(a)           disclose or license to any Competitor any ATMI Use Improvements for a period of [*] after Formal Disclosure, except that IM shall have the right to provide licenses of a broad or general scope that do not specifically mention or otherwise disclose the ATMI Use Improvement, or

 

(b)           disclose, license or sell any ATMI Improvement, other than an ATMI Use Improvement, that ATMI implements on its Equipment to any Excluded Company until [*] after such implementation.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if ATMI decides not to implement such ATMI  Improvement within [*] of IM’s notice that it is available, IM shall be free to license or sell such ATMI Improvement without restriction.

 

4.13.2     IM agrees that it will not ship any Element to an Excluded Company prior to the Exclusivity Expiration Date for that Element.  (An “Element” shall mean either the Integration Screening & Scale-up (I&S) System, Wets, or the Material & Device Screening (M&D) System, Wets.)  The “Exclusivity Expiration Date” for that Element shall initially be the date [*] after the date of final acceptance for that Element, and shall be extended by an additional [*] for each accepted order that ATMI places for that Element before the Exclusivity Expiration Date.  ATMI may also extend by [*] the Exclusivity Expiration Date for each Element that has not reached its Exclusivity Expiration Date by successfully brokering the sale of a complete Wets Workflow by IM to any materials company with which ATMI has a then-established working relationship (an “ATMI Materials Partner”).  ATMI shall only be deemed to have successfully brokered the sale prior to the occurrence of the Exclusivity Expiration Date if the ATMI Materials Partner, in IM’s sole discretion, (a) is deemed credit-worthy by IM, (b) issues a purchase order acceptable to IM, and (c) signs an agreement for the purchase of the Equipment, Informatics Hardware, and the licenses to Informatics Software, Third Party Software, and/or HPC Site License that constitute a Wets Workflow, under terms and conditions that are substantially identical to those set forth in this Agreement (except for terms relating to exclusivity and volume discounts, and terms relating to the Alliance Agreement). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, no Exclusivity Expiration Date shall be extended beyond [*].

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

15

 

4.13.3      Nothing in this Agreement shall preclude IM from (a) shipping a Wets Workflow in whole or in part to a company that is not an Excluded Company at any time, or (b) shipping a Wets Workflow in whole or in part to an Excluded Company on or after the end of the Exclusivity Expiration Date or [*], whichever occurs earlier.

 

4.14         Beta Site.  IM will offer ATMI to be a beta site for future HPC product offerings, under terms to be mutually agreed on a case by case basis in future beta site agreements.  The provisions of this Agreement with respect to compensation for ATMI Improvements, as well as the restrictions set forth in Section 4.12.1 shall be inapplicable to beta sites for IM product offerings.

 

4.15         Source Code Escrow.  In the event that (i) IM becomes insolvent or bankrupt, (ii) IM makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, (iii) IM consents to a trustee or receiver appointment, (iv) a trustee or receiver is appointed for IM or for a substantial part of its property without its consent, (v) IM voluntarily initiates bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization proceedings, or is the subject of involuntary bankruptcy, insolvency, or reorganization proceedings, or (vi) IM announces that it has entered into an agreement to be acquired by a then named Competitor, then IM and ATMI will negotiate in good faith to enter into a source code escrow agreement with Iron Mountain Incorporated in a form provided by Iron Mountain Incorporated (or if Iron Mountain Incorporated is no longer engaging in the source code escrow business, a mutually agreed source code escrow company) setting forth source code escrow deposit procedures and source code release procedures relating to Informatics Software. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the escrow instructions shall provide for a release of the source code to ATMI of the Informatics Software only upon the occurrence of (a) the filing of a Chapter 7 bankruptcy petition by IM, or a petition by IM to convert a Chapter 11 filing to a Chapter 7 filing; (b) the cessation of business operations by IM; or (c) the failure on the part of IM to comply with its contractual obligations to ATMI to comply with its maintenance and support obligations for a period of more than [*] after it has received written notice of said breach. Any dispute between the parties over whether an event has occurred that would trigger a release of source code to ATMI pursuant to the source code escrow instructions shall be resolved pursuant to Section 12.16.  In the event of a release of Informatics Software source code pursuant to this section, said source code shall continue to be the Confidential Information of IM or its successor in interest In the event of a release of source code to ATMI from escrow, ATMI may only use, copy and/or modify the source code consistent with the purposes of this agreement (or have a contractor who has agreed in writing to confidentiality provisions as restrictive as those set forth in this Agreement do so on its behalf).

Fees payable to IM under this Agreement are exclusive of any transaction taxes (including sales, use, consumption, value-added and similar transaction based taxes, or withholding taxes) which may be imposed, in accordance with applicable laws, as a result of the licenses granted by IM to ATMI, and the sale of one or more Wets Workflows hereunder.  ATMI agrees to bear or reimburse IM for all such transaction taxes.  IM assumes responsibility to timely remit tax payments that it collects from ATMI to the appropriate governmental authority after receipt from ATMI, in each respective jurisdiction.

 

ARTICLE 6
 REVENUE SHARE OR ROYALTIES

 

6.1           Compensation, Revenue Share or Royalties.  Each party will pay the other party any compensation, revenue share payments or royalties due as agreed between the parties.  Any revenue share or royalty due from a party shall be paid on a calendar quarter basis following shipment of the products that trigger the payment as set forth in Section 6.4.  The licenses granted by IM to ATMI shall be subject to payment of all fees set forth in any quotation for which ATMI issues IM a purchase order, including a royalty to IM of [*]% of gross sales proceeds on Products (less the following when separately itemized on or included and identifiable in invoices related to the sale of the Product:  (i) allowances, discounts, including cash discounts, rebates and returns all to the extent actually given in the trade by ATMI or its affiliates; (ii) sales, excise and similar taxes (including but not limited to any value added tax) or duties; (iii) insurance, packaging (except packaging that directly encloses the Products), and handling, shipping, transportation or similar; and (iv) credits or repayment for rejection or return of Products). If ATMI has suitable written records that reflect actually incurred direct costs (including but not limited to freight out, customs, duty, distribution and warehousing), ATMI may deduct such direct costs (up to an additional aggregate amount not to exceed [*]% of the gross sales proceeds for all Products during any reporting period) prior to computing the royalty on gross sales proceeds, even if such direct costs are not separately itemized to the customer.  In the case that ATMI enables a Materials partner or a customer to make or sell a Product under license in exchange for a royalty to ATMI, the royalty payable by ATMI to IM for such use shall be calculated on the value of

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

17

 

the Product used to calculate the royalty paid to ATMI (“Product Value”).  For business arrangements between ATMI and Third Parties related to (i) Products for which the Product Value cannot be derived, or (ii) other ATMI monetization of technology derived through use of the Wets Workflow or HPC Technology not otherwise described herein, IM and ATMI agree to negotiate in good faith to set the compensation, if any, due to IM.  Notwithstanding Section 12.16 of this Agreement, in the event that the parties cannot agree for a period of [*] after escalation to their respective chief executive officers to a reasonable compensation, the parties will use the procedure of Section 4.8.3 to determine compensation due to IM.

 

6.2           Third Party Royalties.  Each party shall be responsible for all of its own costs of commercializing Products or licensing Intellectual Property Rights, including any payments to Third Parties for work done by such Third Parties or for licenses necessary for the manufacture, sale, or use of Products by a party or its Affiliates or sublicensees.

 

6.3           Payment Method.  All payments due under this Agreement shall be made by bank wire transfer or ACH transaction in immediately available funds to a bank account designated by each party.  All payments hereunder shall be from a U.S. entity and made in U.S. dollars.  Any payments that are not paid within [*] of the date such payments are due under this Agreement shall bear interest at the lesser of (i) [*] percent [*] per month or (ii) the maximum rate permitted by law.  Nothing in this Section 6.4 shall prejudice any other rights or remedies available to either party hereunder or at law or equity.

 

6.4           Reports and Payments.  After the first commercial sale of a Product on which revenue share and royalties are payable by ATMI, ATMI shall make [*] written reports to the other party within [*] after the end of each calendar [*], stating in each such report, separately for itself and each Affiliate and each sublicensee, the number, description, and total sales of each Product sold, and a calculation of the revenue share or royalties due as a result of license grants to customers, the manner of calculation of each to be specified in Section 6.1 Concurrently with the making of such reports, ATMI shall pay IM all amounts due as set forth in the report.

 

6.5           Currency Conversions.  If any currency conversion shall be required in connection with the calculation of royalties hereunder, such conversion shall be made using the selling exchange rate for conversion of the foreign currency into U.S. Dollars, quoted for current transactions reported in The Wall Street Journal for the last business day of the calendar [*] to which such payment pertains.

 

6.6           Records; Inspection.  Each party and its Affiliates shall keep complete, true and accurate books of account and records for the purpose of determining the royalty amounts payable under this Agreement.

following the end of the calendar [*] to which they pertain.  Such records will be open for inspection during such [*] period by an independent auditor reasonably acceptable to the audited party, solely for the purpose of verifying royalty statements hereunder.  Such inspections may be made no more than once each calendar year, at reasonable times and on reasonable notice.  Inspections conducted under this Section 6.6 shall be at the expense of the auditing party, unless a variation or error producing an increase of at least [*] Dollars ($[*]) and exceeding [*] percent ([*]%) of the amount stated for any period covered by the inspection is established in the course of any such inspection, whereupon all reasonable costs relating to the inspection for such period and any unpaid amounts that are discovered will be paid promptly by the audited party together with interest thereon for late payments as set forth above. Each party agrees to hold in confidence all information concerning royalty payments and reports, and all information learned in the course of any audit or inspection, except to the extent necessary for each party to reveal such information in order to enforce its rights under this Agreement or if disclosure is required by law.

 

ARTICLE 7
 CONFIDENTIALITY

 

7.1           Confidentiality.  Except as otherwise expressly provided in the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement signed by the parties on December 6, 2005 for Confidential Information exchanged between the parties prior to the Effective Date, or as expressly provided in the Alliance Agreement, or as otherwise expressly provided herein, the parties agree that the receiving party shall not, except as expressly provided in this Article 7 disclose to any Third Party, or use for any purpose, any Confidential Information furnished to it by the disclosing party pursuant to this Agreement, except in each case to the extent that it can be established by the receiving party by competent proof that such information:

 

(a)           was already known to the receiving party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party, at the time of disclosure;

 

(b)           was generally available to the public or otherwise part of the public domain at the time of its disclosure to the receiving party;

(d)           was independently developed by the receiving party without use of, or reference to, the other party’s confidential information, as demonstrated by documented evidence prepared contemporaneously with such independent development; or

 

(e)           was disclosed to the receiving party, other than under an obligation of confidentiality to the disclosing party, by a Third Party authorized and entitled to disclose such information to others.

 

Confidential Information shall not be considered within the above exceptions merely because the Confidential Information is embraced by more general

information within the exceptions.  Any combination of features of Confidential Information shall not be considered within the above exceptions merely because individual features, as opposed to the combination itself and its principles of operation, are within the exception.

 

7.2           Permitted Use and Disclosures.  Notwithstanding the restrictions of Section 7.1, each party hereto may (a) use Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other to the extent necessary for that party to perform its obligations set forth in this Agreement and (b) use or disclose Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party to the extent such use or disclosure is reasonably necessary in (i) exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, (ii) prosecuting or defending litigation pursuant to Article 8 (iii) complying with applicable laws, governmental regulations or court orders or submitting information to tax or other governmental authorities (including the Securities and Exchange Commission), (iv) preparing, filing and prosecuting patent applications pursuant to this Agreement, or (v) making a permitted sublicense or otherwise exercising license rights expressly granted pursuant to this Agreement; in each case, provided that if a party is required to make any such disclosure, other than pursuant to a confidentiality agreement, it will give reasonable advance notice to the other party of such disclosure and will use reasonable efforts to secure confidential treatment of such information (whether through protective order or otherwise), except to the extent inappropriate with respect to patent applications. It is understood that either party may also disclose the Confidential Information of the other party upon receipt of the written consent to such disclosure by a duly authorized representative of the other party.  It is also understood that notwithstanding other provisions of this paragraph, neither party shall disclose trade secrets of the other party without first obtaining the written consent of the party owning such trade secrets and securing an agreement with the party to whom such disclosure will be made that such trade secrets will be treated as confidential for as long as such trade secrets qualify for protection as trade secrets.  It is further understood that such trade secrets are not to be included in any patent, patent application, or other document that is accessible by individuals not subject to an agreement requiring that the individuals maintain such document in confidence.  It is also understood that unless expressly required in this Agreement, neither party is obligated to disclose Confidential Information to the other.

 

7.3           Nondisclosure of Terms.  Subject to Section 7.4, each of the parties hereto agrees not to disclose the terms of this Agreement to any Third Party without the prior written consent of the other party hereto, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, except to such party’s attorneys, accountants, advisors, investors and financing sources and their advisors and others on a need to know basis under circumstances that reasonably ensure the confidentiality thereof, to the extent required by law, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or rights under this Agreement or in connection with a merger, acquisition, financing transaction or proposed merger, acquisition or financing transaction, or the like.

7.4           Compliance with Public Company Disclosure Obligations.  Notwithstanding the provisions of Section 7.3, if a party is a Public Company (as defined below), such party may disclose from time to time such information regarding the terms of this Agreement and the scientific and other results of the Alliance as such party may reasonably deem to be necessary to comply with its disclosure obligations under applicable U.S. securities law or applicable stock market or NASDAQ Stock Market listing rules; provided, however, that each party shall use commercially reasonable efforts to (i) nevertheless comply with its obligations as set forth in Section 7.3, or in the event such compliance is not possible, (ii) provide the other party with a draft of the disclosure intended to be made not less than twenty-four (24) hours prior to the intended first public release or filing of such disclosure. For purposes of this section, “Public Company” shall mean a company that is subject to the reporting requirements of either Section 13(a) or Section l5(d) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

 

7.5           Firewall Protection.  In addition to conforming to the confidentiality provisions in this Article 7, the following shall apply:

 

(a)           IM will construct an IP firewall as described below in this Section around IM employees providing Services to ATMI in connection with any Wets Workflow described in the Purchase Documentation.  Only such employees of IM will be allowed to have access to such ATMI confidential and proprietary information and information distribution will be based strictly on a need-to-know basis.  Such employees of IM shall solely use such ATMI confidential and proprietary information in providing Services to ATMI.  Physical copies of ATMI confidential and proprietary information shall be securely locked when not in use such that only those IM employees providing such Services shall have access to such information.  The procedure set forth in this Section is not intended to supersede in whole or in part the terms of Section 4.8; specifically, IM shall have the right, without obligation to ATMI, to sell, license and sublicense any improvements, changes, or modifications to Equipment disclosed by ATMI to IM outside of the Formal Disclosure process.

 

(b)           ATMI will construct an IP firewall as described below in this Section around ATMI employees who have access at IM’s facilities to HPC Technology outside of the Wets Workflow described in the Purchase Documentation.  Only such employees of ATMI will be allowed to have access to such IM confidential and proprietary information and such information shall not be shared with other ATMI employees or Third Parties without the prior written consent of IM.  Copies or samples of IM confidential and proprietary information shall not be removed or transmitted from any IM facility by ATMI employees.

IM owns, or possesses a valid and enforceable license to use (with ability to sublicense), all Intellectual Property Rights licensed or sublicensed to ATMI pursuant to this Agreement (for purposes of this Section 8.2.3, “IM Licensed IP”).  IM has full power and authority to license or sublicense, as the case may be, all such Intellectual Property Rights licensed to ATMI upon the terms set forth herein, and to IM’s knowledge the use and practice of such Wets Workflow by ATMI in the Field pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (“Use”) will not infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of any Third Party.  IM agrees to defend and hold ATMI harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, judgments, awards, settlements, costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) of, arising out of or resulting from any litigation or proceeding brought by a Third Party alleging infringement by the Wets Workflow (including any IM Licensed IP) or Use thereof, of a Third Party’s Intellectual Property Rights, provided that (i) ATMI notifies IM promptly in writing of the claim (provided, however, that the failure to promptly provide notice to IM will not affect IM’s duties or obligations under this Article 8 except to the extent IM is prejudiced thereby); and (ii) ATMI assists and cooperates reasonably with IM, at IM expense, in defending or settling such claim. IM shall have sole control of the defense and all related potential settlement negotiations, provided that IM shall not enter into any settlement which would materially adversely affect the rights granted to ATMI  under this Agreement without ATMI’s express prior written consent.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, IM shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on or arising from the Alliance Technology, the Agreement WF Compounds or the use, sale, offer for sale, import license, or manufacture of Products or other technology sold or licensed by ATMI that is derived from the Wets Workflow.  In addition, ATMI shall be entitled to be represented by ATMI’s own counsel at ATMI’s

expense.  In the event the Wets Workflow (including any IM Licensed IP) or Use thereof is held, or IM, in good faith and in its sole discretion, believes may be held, to infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property Rights of a Third Party, IM shall, at its sole expense, exercise whichever of the following two options it selects:  (i) obtain a license to continue to use the Wets Workflow or IM Improvements without additional charge to ATMI; or (ii) modify the Wets Workflow or IM Improvements, or Use thereof, so they are non-infringing and meet the applicable Acceptance Criteria (“Non-Infringing Modification”).  IM’s indemnification obligations shall cease if ATMI fails or refuses to implement any Non-Infringing Modification or if the Use is other than an intended Use set forth in Exhibit D. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, IM provides no indemnification of claims that Third Party Software, other than Symyx Software, infringes Third Party Intellectual Property Rights if said claims do not allege that the infringement was caused by use of the Third Party Software in combination with other elements of the Wets Workflow. ATMI’s right to indemnification, if any, in connection with such claims shall be governed by its applicable Third Party end user license agreement.  Moreover, claims alleging that the Symyx Software infringes Third Party Intellectual Property Rights shall be handled in accordance with Exhibit B rather than in accordance with this Section 8.2.3, except that IM’s liability for damages based on infringement by the Symyx Software shall be governed by Article 9 of this Agreement, which supersedes such limitations in Exhibit B (specifically i) paragraph 9 and ii) the last sentence of paragraph 8(b)).  The foregoing indemnity states the sole obligations and exclusive liability of IM, and ATMI’s sole recourse and exclusive remedy for any Third Party claim of infringement or misappropriation of an Intellectual Property Right by IM under this Agreement.

 

8.3           Limited Warranty on Equipment.  IM warrants to ATMI  that for a period commencing on [*] and extending for [*] from final acceptance of the Equipment, the Equipment is free from defects in materials and workmanship and shall conform in all material respects to its Specifications.  The warranty set forth in the prior sentence shall apply only to the IM- supplied components of the Equipment and specifically excludes those components supplied by ATMI.  IM does not otherwise warrant the Equipment and does not warrant that operation of the Equipment will be uninterrupted or error free.  If the Equipment does not meet the warranty specified above during the warranty period, IM shall, at its option, repair or replace at no cost to ATMI any defective or nonconforming Equipment component.  Procedures and response times in connection with warranty claims under this Section 8.3, as well as IM’s obligations with respect to maintenance and support of Equipment, are set forth in Exhibit C.

8.4           Limited Warranty on Informatics Hardware.  IM warrants to ATMI that for a period commencing on [*] and extending for [*] from final acceptance of the Informatics Hardware, the Informatics Hardware shall be free from defects in materials and workmanship and shall conform in all material respects to its Specifications.  The warranty set forth in the prior sentence shall apply only to the IM- supplied components of the Equipment and specifically excludes those components supplied by ATMI.  IM does not otherwise warrant the Informatics Hardware and does not warrant that operation of the Informatics Hardware will be uninterrupted or error free.  If the Informatics Hardware does not meet the warranty specified above during the warranty period, IM shall, at its option, repair or replace at no cost to ATMI any defective or nonconforming Informatics Hardware component.  Procedures and response times in connection with warranty claims under this Section 8.4, as well as IM’s obligations with respect to maintenance and support of Informatics Hardware, are set forth in Exhibit C.

 

8.5           Limited Warranty on Informatics Software.  IM warrants for a period of [*] from [*] of the Informatics Software to Licensee (and extending for each year that ATMI renews its license for the Informatics Software) that such Informatics Software as delivered, will function in conformity with its Specifications and the documentation supplied therewith.  IM will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any nonconformities reported to IM in writing or in electronic form during the warranty period.  Procedures and response times in connection with claims under this Section 8.5, as well as IM’s obligations with respect to maintenance and support of Informatics Software, are set forth in Exhibit C.

 

8.6           System Warranty.  IM warrants for a period of [*] from [*] of any Wets Workflow sold hereunder, and during any additional period during which ATMI renews, under the terms of this Agreement, its HPC Site License and HPC-Enabled Informatics Software license and Maintenance and Support for each Wets Workflow item, the Informatics Software for each Wets Workflow item, and the Informatics Hardware (such additional renewal periods must be continuous from the initial [*] term), that (i) the Wets Workflow items are compatible and will operate with one another as set forth in the Purchase Documentation, and (ii) the Wets Workflow will support the applications as set forth in Exhibit D. This warranty is in addition to IM’s other applicable warranties.  IM does not otherwise warrant the Wets Workflow and does not warrant that its operation will be uninterrupted or error free.  If the Wets Workflow does not meet the warranty specified above during the warranty period, IM shall, at its option, repair or replace at no cost to ATMI the nonconformity.  Procedures and response times in connection with warranty claims under this Section 8.6, as well as IM’s obligations with respect to maintenance and support, are set forth in Exhibit C for the Equipment, Informatics Hardware and Informatics Software, provided that IM will promptly remedy any such nonconformity in 8.6(ii) above.

24

 

8.7           Warranty for Services.  IM will provide Services in a professional manner using reasonable care and skill and in accordance with standard industry practice and all applicable federal, state and local laws and regulations.

 

8.8           Exclusions.  The warranties and remedies set forth in Sections 8.4, 8.5, 8.6, and 8.7 will be void as to (i) any Wets Workflow that has been damaged, modified, or altered (other than by IM or as authorized in writing by an officer of IM) unless ATMI can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the alteration or modification did not cause the non-conformity in whole or in part, or (ii) non-conformities, in whole or in part, arising from use of the Wets Workflow with any other hardware, software, firmware, devices, or other products not provided by IM. IM shall provide no warranty with respect to any Wets Workflow to which IM has implemented ATMI Improvements and such ATMI Improvements caused such non-conformity unless the parties separately agree to such a warranty in writing.

 

8.9           Disclaimer.  ATMI and IM specifically disclaim any representation, warranty or guarantee that the use of the Equipment, Informatics Software, Third Party Software, or Informatics Hardware, will be successful, in whole or in part.  It is understood that the failure to successfully develop and commercialize any technology related to this Agreement shall not constitute a breach of any representation or warranty or other obligation under this Agreement.  EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IM AND ATMI MAKE NO REPRESENTATIONS AND EXTEND NO WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE TECHNOLOGIES DESCRIBED HEREIN OR INFORMATION DISCLOSED HEREUNDER, AND HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR VALIDITY OF ANY TECHNOLOGY, PATENTED OR UNPATENTED, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES.

EXHIBIT B

 

SYMYX SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT

Intermolecular, Inc. (“Licensor,” or “we”)               Advanced Technology Materials, Inc. (“Licensee” or “you”)

 

This Symyx Software License Agreement (this “SLA”) between Licensor and Licensee is effective as of

the Effective Date. For good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which we hereby

acknowledge, we agree to the license terms below.

 

(1)           License.

 

(a)   We are duly authorized to sublicense to you the Symyx Software described in the Purchase Documentation (“Programs”) in object code form only, and any operating instructions (“Documentation”) delivered with the Programs, under our agreements with Symyx Technologies, Inc. and its subsidiaries (“Symyx”). We refer to the Programs and Documentation and any and all copies or modifications thereto collectively as the “Software.” For the license term defined in the Quote (incorporated into this SLA by reference and incorporated herein by reference), we grant you a personal, non-exclusive and nontransferable right to install and use the Software.

 

(b)   You may not edit, modify, change, reproduce (except as necessary to install and use) or create derivative works of the Software.

 

(c)   This License is limited to the Site. Only your Named Users may use the Software at these facility(ies).

 

(d)   We may add licenses to this SLA by issuing a Quote and receiving a Purchase Order.

 

(2)           Other License Limitations.

 

(a)   You may use the Software only for your sole and exclusive benefit as licensed hereunder, and agree not to use the Software to provide time-sharing or other similar services on behalf of third parties.

 

(b)   You will not try to reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble any portion of the Software nor use any mechanical, electronic or other method to trace, decompile, disassemble, derive or identify the Software’s source code, or permit others to do so. You may make one copy of the Software for archival and back-up purposes only.

 

(c)   You will not transfer, distribute, sell, lease, license or sublicense the Software to others (other than to Named Users as necessary to permit them to use the Software as this SLA permits).

 

(3)           Term and Termination.

 

(a)   This SLA begins on the Effective Date and continues until it is terminated. The initial license term is defined in the Purchase Documentation.

 

(b)   Either party may terminate this SLA if the other party materially breaches this SLA and does not cure the breach as set forth in Section 11.2 of the Agreement.

 

(c)   Any obligations, including payment obligations, which accrued prior to a termination or expiration will survive and must be met. All of your rights under this SLA end upon termination or expiration of this SLA. At termination or expiration of this SLA, or at termination or expiration of any particular licenses granted, you will immediately discontinue using the relevant Software, remove the relevant Programs from your equipment, and return to us all tangible copies of the relevant Software and any of our proprietary materials that you may have. Sections 1(b), 2, 3, 4, 6(b) and 6(d), 7, 8, 9, 10 and 11 survive termination or expiration of this SLA and/or your licenses.

 

(4)           Payment.

 

(a)   You agree to make all payments in accordance with the Agreement

 

(5)           [Omit]

 

(6)           Limited Warranty.

 

(a)   We represent and warrant to you that:

 

(i)    the Software contains no malicious code, program or other internal component (e.g., computer virus, worm, time bomb, or similar component) designed to disable, deinstall, deactivate, damage or destroy the Software or other computer programs or

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

1

 

data or information the Software accesses or processes;

 

(ii)   the computer diskettes or other media we use to deliver the Software to you will have no materials or workmanship defects under normal use; and

 

(iii)  the Software will function in accordance with its specifications.

 

 

(b)   If we breach Section 6(a), we will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the error(s) or replace the affected Software at our expense. However, if the Software fails to meet the warranties in Section 6(a) because you have altered or modified it or used it in an unauthorized way, we will not be obligated to correct or replace the Software.

 

(c)   Except as provided in Section 6(a), WE MAKE NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. CERTAIN VERSIONS OF OUR SOFTWARE MAY INCLUDE BETA CODE AND MAY BE CHANGED SUBSTANTIALLY BEFORE COMMERCIAL RELEASE. WE DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL MEET YOUR REQUIREMENTS OR PERFORM UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE.

 

(7)           Proprietary Rights.

 

(a)   We and our licensors own all rights to and in (i) the Software, including copyright, patent, trademark and trade secret rights, (ii) each copy of the Software, and (iii) all customizations, enhancements, modifications and new code we deliver to you pursuant to this SLA. We reserve all rights to the Software we have not specifically granted to you under this SLA.

 

(b)   You agree not to remove, obscure or alter our copyright notices, trademarks, patent numbers or other proprietary rights notices affixed to or contained within the Software.

 

(8)           Indemnification.

 

(a)   If someone takes legal action against you claiming the Software infringes their patent, copyright or trade secret rights in a jurisdiction where you are licensed to use the Software pursuant to the Agreement, we will defend on that claim at our expense, and will pay any costs, damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees finally awarded as a result of a settlement or judgment against you, but only if you give us prompt and timely written notice of the claim and relevant proceedings. If you do not give us prompt written notice, and your failure to be prompt materially and negatively affects our defense, then we will not have to defend or indemnify you to the extent we are actually and materially prejudiced by the delay. We will control the defense and settlement, if any, of the claim, and you agree to cooperate with us at our expense by providing prompt and necessary authority, information and reasonable assistance to enable us, at our option, to settle or defend such claim. You may, however, participate in defending the claim using your own attorneys and at your own expense.

 

(b)   If (i) the rights owner described in Section 8(a) obtains an injunction against you and you thus cannot use the Software as licensed, or (ii) we believe an injunction may occur, we will, at our sole option, exercise the first of the following that is practicable (A) modify the Software so it does not infringe while maintaining substantial functional equivalence, or (B) obtain a license that permits you to continue using the Software at no additional cost to you. If we notify you Symyx has informed us that it has not found a commercially reasonable way to do either (A) or (B)any continued use you make of the Software shall be at your sole risk.

 

(c)   We do not have to defend or indemnify you under this Section 8 if and to the extent: (i) the alleged infringement arises because you are using the Software in combination with any other software, data products, processes or materials we did not provide or approve in writing; (ii) you continue allegedly infringing activity after we provide modifications at no charge to you that would have avoided the infringement and that do not materially impact  the functionality of the Software; (iii) the alleged infringement arises because you use the Software other than in accordance with our license grant; (iv) the alleged infringement  arises because you have modified the Software in a way we did not expressly authorize in writing; or (v) we have delivered a newer version of the Software that would not infringe,

SCHEDULE 1 to Exhibit B

Symyx Software Maintenance Terms

 

1.     SUPPORT SERVICES.

 

We will use commercially reasonable efforts during the term to provide the maintenance and support services described in this Schedule for the Symyx Software you have under annual licenses from us or on which you have paid maintenance fees. IM’s response times as set forth in Exhibit C shall apply for 1st Tier Support for the Software. (As used in this Schedule, 1st Tier Support means providing support based on information available in the user manual, and determining that the issue the customer is having relates to a supported feature of the product and that it cannot be resolved by following the procedures set forth in the documentation.) Sections 2, 3, and 4, below, state the commitments Symyx has made to IM regarding support beyond 1st Tier Support, and we will use reasonable efforts to enforce such commitments. Under appropriate circumstances, IM will request and use good faith efforts to obtain more urgent support from Symyx.

 

2.     SUPPORT RESPONSIBILITY.

 

a)       Error Reporting. We will provide you telephone support during our normal business hours of 9:00 am to 5:00 p.m. Pacific time, Monday through Friday, excluding our holidays.

 

You should include in each error report sufficient information to enable us to reproduce and verify the suspected error. If you do not supply this information, it will delay our response. We will acknowledge each reported error via telephone, facsimile transmission or electronic mail to your Support Contact within twenty-four (24) hours of its original report, and will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the severity of the error to reproduce and verify reported errors and provide Updates (including workarounds) in accordance with the terms set forth herein. You agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist us in our efforts to find corrections to confirmed errors you report. We will use our best judgment to determine the priority level of each reported error according to the following criteria:

 

i)           Priority 1 Error: Critical problem with significant business impact to you. No viable workaround, but you need an immediate fix or workaround to get up and running again.

 

ii)          Priority 2 Error: Critical problem with significant business impact to you. A viable workaround exists, you need a fix other than a workaround, but can wait until next scheduled Update.

 

iii)         Priority 3 Error: Problem identified with moderate business impact to you, but you can wait until a future Upgrade for a fix.

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

b)       Response Times.

 

i)           Priority 1 Error. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to promptly resolve the error with an Update. We will give you periodic reports on the status of relevant Updates.

 

ii)          Priority 2 Error. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to include an error correction in the next Update, if any, of the Software.

 

iii)         Priority 3 Error. We will use commercially reasonable efforts to include an error correction in the next Upgrade, if any, of the Software.

 

c)       Support Obligation. We are not required to support or maintain any version of the Software except its then-current, commercially released version, and the version released immediately before that version.

 

3.     UPDATES, UPGRADES.

 

“Update” means a subsequent version of the Software we release generally to our end user customers that includes error corrections, bug fixes or workarounds to ensure that the Software performs according to its specifications. “Upgrade” means a revision of the Software we release generally to our end user customers receiving maintenance and support services that adds new and different functions or enhancements. Updates and Upgrades we provide to you are deemed “Software” under the SLA.

 

We will provide you Updates and Upgrades if, as and when we make any such Updates and/or Upgrades generally available to our end user customers receiving maintenance and support services. You agree that, except as expressly provided in Sections 2(a) and 2(b) above, we are not obligated to issue Updates and/or Upgrades and that we must provide you Updates and/or Upgrades only when we have commercially released them to our customers generally. We provide installation and training for Updates and Upgrades on a time and materials basis.

Exhibit C: IM Maintenance and Support Services

 

I.        General Terms

 

A.       Services Provided During First Year and During Any Renewal Term

 

Section II of this Exhibit C describes maintenance and support services that IM shall provide with respect to any Wets Workflow sold pursuant to this Agreement. IM shall provide maintenance and support services throughout the initial term for maintenance and support, which shall commence upon delivery to ATMI of the Wets Workflow and continue until the first anniversary of final acceptance of the Workflow (the “Initial Maintenance and Support Term”).

 

IM shall continue to provide said services during any additional term during which IM provides maintenance and support services (each one a “Renewal Maintenance and Support Term”) in accordance with the procedure set forth in Section I B., below. Each Renewal Maintenance and Support Term for a Wets Workflow shall consist of a one-year period; the first Renewal Maintenance and Support Term shall commence the day following the last day of the Initial Maintenance and Support Term; any subsequent Renewal Maintenance and Support Terms shall commence on the anniversary of the first day of the first Renewal Maintenance and Support Term.

 

Nothing in this Exhibit C shall reduce IM’s warranty obligations set forth in the Agreement.

 

B.       Term of Maintenance and Support; Renewal

 

IM shall provide the maintenance and support services set forth in Section II of this Exhibit C throughout the Initial Maintenance and Support Term. Not less than ninety (90) days prior to the conclusion of the Initial Maintenance and Support Term, IM shall send ATMI written notice of the date that the Initial Term is scheduled to expire, together with a Quote for maintenance and support services for the first Renewal Term.

 

If ATMI thereupon provides IM with an acceptable Purchase Order in connection with the Quote, IM shall invoice ATMI in accordance with Section 5.1 of the Agreement, and provide maintenance and support services as set forth in Section II, below, for the first Renewal Term. Not less than ninety (90) days prior to the end of any Renewal Period, IM shall provide ATMI with notice specifying whether IM intends to continue to offer maintenance and support services for the Wets Workflow in question; if so, IM shall specify the price for maintenance and support for the next Renewal Term.

 

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the price for maintenance and support services for June 26, 2007 the first and second Renewal Terms are set forth in Exhibit A to the

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

 

Agreement. The price for maintenance and support services for any subsequent Renewal Term shall be as mutually agreed by IM and ATMI.

 

C.       Special Services Provided Only During First Year

 

In addition to the maintenance and support services described above, during the one-year period following Final Acceptance of the first Wets Workflow sold hereunder, IM shall also make available one (1) product support engineer who will provide services, including but not limited to training, support or maintenance, to ATMI in the operation of the Wets Workflow.

 

D.       Modified or Altered Wets Workflow

 

The obligation to provide maintenance and support services hereunder will be void as to (i) any Wets Workflow that has been damaged, modified, or altered (other than by IM or as authorized in writing by an officer of IM), unless ATMI can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the modification or alteration did not cause the non-conformity, in whole or in part, (ii) nonconformities, in whole or in part, arising from use of the Wets Workflow with any other hardware, software, firmware, devices, or other products not provided by IM, or (iii) Equipment or Informatics Hardware that has been subjected to unusual physical, chemical or electrical stress, or that has been operated without regard to any limitations defined in the Equipment Specifications.

 

E. Error Classification and Response Times

 

The following terms shall apply with respect to support for Equipment, Informatics Hardware, and/or Informatics Software:

 

(i)    Error Classification

 

(a) Priority 1 Error: System down with critical business impact to ATMI. No viable workaround, but ATMI needs an immediate fix or workaround to get up and running again.

 

(b) Priority 2 Error: Critical problem with significant business impact to ATMI. A viable workaround exists, but ATMI needs a fix other than a workaround.

 

(c) Priority 3 Error: Problem identified with moderate business impact to ATMI for which a workaround may be adequate.

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

 

(ii) Response Times.

 

(a) Priority 1 Error. IM shall provide and maintain for ATMI contact and escalation procedures for ATMI personnel to reach an appropriate IM employee as follows:

 

i.      From 8 a.m. to 12 midnight Eastern time, IM shall acknowledge the ATMI call within three (3) hours of ATMI initiating the process of contacting IM;

 

ii.     From 12 midnight to 8 a.m. Eastern time, IM shall acknowledge the ATMI call by 8 a.m. Eastern time, or within three (3) hours of ATMI initiating the process of contacting IM, whichever is later;

 

iii.    If ATMI requires faster response during a defined time period, e.g. during a critical demo, IM shall make a best effort to put in place a shorter response time, if ATMI has provided reasonable notice prior to that defined time period.

 

Upon acknowledging a Priority 1 Error, IM shall provide ATMI an initial assessment within twelve (12) hours and an error resolution plan within eighteen (18) hours. IM will use best commercial efforts to promptly resolve the error through an Update, or through the implementation of a viable workaround, or through any other means that provides the fastest time for ATMI to be up and running again. IM will give ATMI periodic reports, or immediately upon ATMI’s request, on the status of relevant error resolution plans and activities.

 

(b) Priority 2 Error. Upon acknowledging a Priority 2 Error, IM shall provide ATMI an initial assessment within 2 business days and an error resolution plan within 3 business days. IM will use best commercial efforts to (i) include an error correction in the next Update, if any, of the Software and/or (ii) to schedule and execute in a timely fashion error resolution activities for Informatics Hardware or Equipment.

 

(c) Priority 3 Error. Upon acknowledging a Priority 3 Error, IM shall provide ATMI an initial assessment within 3 business days and an error resolution plan within 5 business days.

II. Maintenance and Support Services

 

A.                  Informatics Hardware and Equipment Support

 

IM shall use best commercial efforts to do the following during the Initial Maintenance Support Term, and during any Renewal Maintenance and Support Term:

 

(a)                                  IM shall maintain the Equipment and Informatics Hardware in the Wets Workflow in accordance with the warranty set forth in the Agreement. Service may also include scheduled preventative maintenance, as determined by IM. Remedial maintenance will be provided by IM during normal working hours when notified by ATMI that the Wets Workflow is inoperable. IM customer service may be initiated by calling 408-416-2300 (or such other number or email provided to ATMI for that purpose) between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, Monday through Friday, excluding IM holidays (or such other hours and days as may be mutually agreed to by the parties, from time to time, or for Priority 1 Errors, as specified in I.E., above).

 

(b)                                 Maintenance will include replacement of parts deemed necessary by IM. ATMI must inform IM if any replaced parts may be contaminated with hazardous or toxic materials. All parts may be furnished on an exchange basis and will be new or equivalent to new. Replaced parts removed from the Equipment or Informatics Hardware shall, at IM’s sole option, become the property of IM. All customer consumable items, including but not limited to wafers, vials, chemicals, are excluded from coverage hereunder.

 

(c)                                  Exclusions: Maintenance service is contingent upon the proper use of all Equipment and Informatics Hardware, and does not cover Equipment or Informatics Hardware that has been damaged, modified, or altered as described in I.D. above. IM shall be under no obligation to furnish maintenance service if (i) adjustment, repair or parts replacement is required because of operator-caused error or repeated misuse of Equipment or Informatics Hardware; (ii) the Equipment or Informatics Hardware is repaired or if attempts to repair or service the equipment are made by other than authorized IM personnel, without the prior written approval of IM; (iii) a non-conformity arising from or after relocation of the Equipment or Informatics Hardware without prior written approval of IM, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, unless ATMI can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the relocation did not cause the non-conformity, in whole or in part; (iv) the Equipment or Informatics Hardware is damaged through the use of hardware consumables that IM has not previously recommended or approved, unless ATMI can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the use of such consumables did not cause the damage, in whole or in part. Maintenance service does not include damage from acts of God, such as fire, flood, or earthquakes. All repairs required by such excluded

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

 

damage will be subject to an additional charge, as agreed in advance in writing by IM and ATMI.

 

(d)                                 ATMI shall provide full and free access to the Equipment and Informatics Hardware as needed to perform any services to be provided hereunder, subject to ATMI’s reasonable policies and procedures. ATMI acknowledges that employees or contractors of Symyx Technologies, Inc., may be providing services hereunder with respect to Equipment manufactured by Symyx.

 

B.                  Informatics Software Support

 

1.                            IM shall use best commercial efforts to do the following during the Initial Maintenance and Support Term and during any Renewal Maintenance and Support Term:

 

(a) IM shall maintain the Informatics Software in accordance with the warranty set forth in the Agreement. ATMI shall provide VPN site to site Internet access to the data network located at 6 Commerce Drive, Danbury, CT. ATMI will fund the data circuits located in the ATMI data center and IM will fund the data circuits located in its data center. ATMI shall institute and document, prior to installation of the Informatics Hardware, and maintain thereafter, a reasonable firewall management policy to enable appropriate access and block unneeded access to the Informatics Software and Third Party Software installed on Informatics Hardware as needed to diagnose any problem or perform any services to be provided hereunder, subject to the provisions of Section 7.5 (IP Firewall) of the Agreement. The response times and procedures set forth above shall not apply for any error or problem if limits on IM’s access to the Informatics Software inhibit IM’s ability to conduct an initial assessment, make a diagnosis, provide an error resolution plan, and/or perform any services related to resolution of that error or problem.

 

(b) ATMI may request services by calling 408-416-2300 (or such other number or email provided to ATMI for that purpose) between the hours of 9:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m., Pacific time, Monday through Friday, excluding IM holidays, (or such other hours and days as may be mutually agreed to by the parties, from time to time, or for Priority 1 Errors., as specified in I.E., above).

 

(c) ATMI should include in each error report sufficient information to enable IM to reproduce and verify the suspected error. Failure to supply this information may delay IM’s response. IM will acknowledge each reported error via telephone, facsimile transmission or electronic mail to the Named User reporting the error within twenty-four (24) hours of its original report, and will use commercially reasonable efforts consistent with the severity of the error to reproduce and verify reported errors and provide Updates

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

 

(including workarounds) in accordance with the terms set forth herein. ATMI agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to assist IM in its efforts to find corrections to confirmed errors ATMI reports. IM will use its best judgment to determine the priority level of each reported error according criteria set forth in Section I.E.

 

(d) Support Obligation. IM is not required to support or maintain any version of the Software except its then-current, commercially released version, and the version that immediately preceded that version. For such immediately preceding software version, IM shall use commercially reasonable efforts to provide error-fixing updates, but shall have no obligation to provide upgrades that improve the functionality of that software version.

 

2.                            The following software is not covered by this schedule:

 

A.           Altered or modified Informatics Software

3. IM is not obligated to provide free of charge services outside of the range of normal support services, such as (1) debugging problems in non-IM-supported software or products, or in combinations of supported and non-supported software or products where the problem occurs in products or software not supplied by IM, and (2) other cases where IM reasonably judges it highly likely that the suspected problem is not its responsibility. IM will advise ATMI in advance when IM believes services are likely to fall outside of the range of supported services, and may give ATMI an estimate of the likely charges. If IM finds that the problem is, indeed, caused by a supported product, ATMI will incur no additional charges. However, if the problem is not IM’s responsibility, IM will charge ATMI at the rates specified in the estimate/service agreement.

ARTICLE 3
 STRATEGIC FTEs, PLAN AND WORKFLOW ACCESS

 

3.1                                 Dedicated Personnel:  IM shall provide [*] Strategic FTEs to provide services to ATMI, the nature of the services to be mutually agreed by the parties, to support the Strategic Accounts in connection with the Strategic Fields on the schedule set forth in this Section 3.1 (“Addendum Services”).  The parties may mutually agree in writing to increase the number of Strategic FTEs provided by IM and paid for by ATMI if the number of Strategic Fields increases or the expected workload increases at a later date; however, such agreement can be withheld by either party in its sole discretion.  Addendum Services will be provided in the manner consistent with Section 8.7 of the Agreement with the same rights and remedies set forth therein.

 

IM shall invoice and ATMI shall pay for [*] Strategic FTEs starting on January 1, 2008 and [*] additional Strategic FTEs starting upon Factory Acceptance of the first Element of each of the Second through Fourth Wets Workflows.

The Strategic FTEs shall continue to provide Addendum Services under this Addendum to ATMI in connection with the Strategic Accounts until [*].  ATMI shall pay IM for said FTEs at the rate of [*] US dollars (US$[*]) per FTE per month.  IM will invoice monthly for the Addendum Services and payment terms shall be as set forth in the Agreement.  Upon the mutual execution of this Addendum, AMTI shall issue a purchase order to IM for the total fees for Addendum Services scheduled to be rendered under this Section 3.1.

 

3.2                                 Access to IM Workflow.  IM shall be responsible for providing the IM resources described in Section 3.1 with access to a Wets Workflow that is substantially equivalent to the Wets Workflow described in Modified Quote #2 in IM’s clean

room in San Jose, California to support activities in the Strategic Fields for the Strategic Accounts pursuant to this Addendum until [*].  This support shall include access to IM’s metrology and characterization infrastructure (i.e., physical and electrical test equipment) for that period.

 

3.3                                 Strategic Plan.  It is the intent of the parties through this Addendum to work together to drive adoption of ATMI Products for each Strategic Field in each Strategic Account through the use of HPC Technology, specifically the Wets Workflows.  To further that intent, the parties agree to develop a materials, process and process integration development and qualification plan for each Strategic Account in each Strategic Field (each a “Strategic Plan”).  The Strategic Plans will (a) define the priority of the Strategic Fields at each Strategic Account, (b) define a joint sales and marketing strategy for each Strategic Account, and (c) define the IM and ATMI resources, equipment, and other development resources necessary to execute on each Strategic Plan.  The Strategic Plans will be created on the following schedule:  [*] and [*] within [*] of the Addendum Effective Date, [*] and [*] no later than the Target Ship Date for the Second, Third and Fourth Wets Workflow, respectively, irrespective of ATMI’s decision to substitute a Dry Workflow for the Fourth Wets Workflow as set forth in Quote #4.  A Strategic Plan may be modified based on the mutual written consent of the parties.  In addition, each party agrees to discuss, as permitted, circumstances external to this Addendum that may have an effect on each Strategic Plan, provided, however, that the decision whether a party may or does discuss such business opportunities shall be made in its sole discretion.  Nothing in this Section 3.3 changes the right, restrictions and obligations, including Wets Workflow sales and Strategic FTE resources, set forth elsewhere in this Addendum.

 

ARTICLE 4
 RESTRICTIONS AND RIGHTS

 

4.1                                 Services Restrictions on IM.  Commencing with the Addendum Effective Date, and continuing until [*], IM shall refrain from entering into any agreements defining joint marketing, sales or development obligations with a Competitor to address any Strategic Field with any Strategic Account.  For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not and is not intended to restrict IM from (i) selling one or more Wets Workflows in whole or in part to any Strategic Account, subject to the restrictions in Section 4.2, or for performing services for a Competitor in the Strategic Fields, except as set forth above, or (ii) licensing its IM Independent IP to any Strategic Accounts or other Third Parties.

 

In the event that (i) Actual Royalties (as hereinafter defined) paid by ATMI to IM are equal to or greater than [*] US dollars (US$[*]) by [*], and (ii) ATMI elects to extend its commitment to pay for the IM Strategic FTEs in Section 3.1 for [*] through [*],

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

 

then IM’s obligations set forth in this Section 4.1 shall be extended until [*] (“First Extension”).

 

If ATMI has elected to exercise the First Extension and met the requirements therein, then ATMI may elect to extend IM’s obligations set forth in this Section 4.1 until [*] if (i) Actual Royalties (as hereinafter defined) paid by ATMI to IM from [*] to [*] are equal to or greater than [*] US dollars (US$[*]), and (ii) ATMI elects to extend its commitment to pay for the IM Strategic FTEs in Section 3.1 for [*] through [*] (“Second Extension”).

 

If ATMI has elected to exercise the Second Extension and met the requirements therein, then ATMI may elect to extend IM’s obligations set forth in this Section 4.1 until [*] if (i) Actual Royalties (as hereinafter defined) paid by ATMI to IM from [*] to [*] are equal to or greater than [*] US dollars (US$[*]), and (ii) ATMI elects to extend its commitment to pay for the IM Strategic FTEs in Section 3.1 for [*] through [*].

 

4.2                                 Wets Workflow Restrictions on IM.  Commencing with the Addendum Effective Date, and continuing until [*], IM agrees not to ship (a) more than [*] of each Element of a Wets Workflow to a Competitor and/or (b) a [*] system(s) to a Strategic Account for use in the Strategic Fields without a written agreement that provides (i) ATMI, (ii) ATMI and IM or (iii) IM, subject to Section 2.5 of the Alliance Agreement between the parties dated November 17, 2006 (the “Alliance Agreement”), the right to source materials developed through the use of the [*] system(s) to that Strategic Account (absent mutual written consent of the parties to ship said system(s) without such sourcing rights).  For the purposes of the preceding sentence, Section 2.5 of the Alliance Agreement shall be amended so that (x) references to “CDP Fields” shall include the Strategic Fields, and (y) references to “Materials” shall mean materials developed through the use of the [*] system(s) by the applicable Strategic Account.  Nothing in this Addendum shall preclude IM from (a) shipping a Wets Workflow in whole or in part to a company that is not a Competitor or Strategic Account, (b) shipping two or more Elements of a Wets Workflow in whole or in part to a Competitor on or after [*], or (c) shipping a [*] system(s) to a Strategic Account for use in the Strategic Fields without rights to source the materials discovered through the use of the [*] systems on or after [*].  The foregoing shall in no way reduce IM’s obligations pursuant to Section 4.13 of the Agreement.

 

4.3                                 Dry Workflow Rights for ATMI.  Commencing with the Addendum Effective Date, and continuing until [*], IM agrees to provide ATMI a Right of First Negotiation (“ROFN”) before selling or licensing its [*] based Workflow (“Dry Workflow”) to a Competitor.  Under this ROFN, IM

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

 

agrees to offer its Dry Workflow to ATMI no earlier than [*] from its initial availability and negotiate in good faith with ATMI for [*] to come to terms on the sale and licensing of IM’s Dry Workflow to ATMI.  During this [*] period, IM shall not negotiate, or enter into an agreement, to sell or license its Dry Workflow to a Competitor.  Nothing in this Addendum shall A) preclude IM from (i) shipping a Dry Workflow in whole or in part to a company that is not a Competitor, or (ii) selling or licensing a Dry Workflow in whole or in part to a Competitor on or after the [*] of the ROFN negotiation period or after [*], whichever occurs first; or B) require IM to provide ATMI a ROFN if IM does not sell or license its Dry Workflow in whole or in part to a Competitor prior to [*].

 

4.4                                 Access to Independent IP.  No license right shall be created by implication, estoppel or otherwise, by this Addendum, to the other Party’s Independent IP, except as explicitly set forth in the Agreement.

 

ARTICLE 5
 ROYALTIES

 

5.1                                 Royalty Payments to ATMI:  IM shall pay royalties to ATMI of [*] percent [*] of the gross sales proceeds arising from ATMI’s successful brokering the sale of an element of the Wets Workflow to a Strategic Account, after the Addendum Effective Date, and on or before [*].  ATMI shall only be deemed to have successfully brokered the sale if the Strategic Account (a) issues a purchase order acceptable to IM, and (b) signs an agreement for the purchase of an element of the Wets Workflow, under terms and conditions that are substantially identical to those set forth in the Agreement (except for terms relating to exclusivity and volume discounts, and terms relating to the Alliance Agreement).  No royalties under this Section 5.1 shall be payable except in connection with the sale of an element of a Wets Workflow to a Strategic Account through the efforts of ATMI.  Moreover, in no event shall any royalty be payable to ATMI in connection with any sale by IM of a Wets Workflow element to IBM Corporation, except by mutual agreement of the parties; however, such agreement can be withheld by either party in its sole discretion.  Furthermore, as used in this Section, “gross sales proceeds” shall consist of the sale price of the Wets Workflow element, excluding royalties payable by the Strategic Account to IM, and excluding the price of annual warranties and licenses after the first year, and less the following:  (i) Third Party sales commissions, allowances, discounts, including cash discounts, rebates and returns all to the extent actually given in the trade by IM or its affiliates; (ii) sales, excise and similar taxes (including but not limited to any value added tax or withholding taxes) or duties; and (iii) insurance and freight.

 

5.2                                 Royalty Payments to IM:  ATMI’s obligation to pay IM royalties as set forth in Section 6.1 of the Agreement for Products, Product licenses, or other business arrangements shall apply to (a) the use of any Wets Workflow sold to ATMI

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

 

pursuant to this Addendum, or (b) the use of the Wets Workflow access provided under Section 3.2 to this Addendum (“Actual Royalties”).  Actual Royalties shall include royalties payable by ATMI pursuant to Section 14 of [*] CDP agreement dated November 16, 2007 as amended by the parties in the October 11, 2007 letter addendum.

 

5.3                                 Prepaid Guaranteed Minimum Royalties:  ATMI will pay Guaranteed Minimum Royalties to IM as set forth in this Section 5.3.  Within [*] days of the Addendum Effective Date, ATMI shall pre-pay Guaranteed Minimum Royalties to IM in the amount of [*]US dollars (US$[*]) (“Pre-paid Royalty”).  Said payment shall be made as set forth in the Agreement and shall be applied to the Guaranteed Minimum Royalties for the Royalty Periods defined as follows:

 

“Royalty Period One”, consisting of the period from [*] through [*]:  Guaranteed Minimum Royalties in the amount of [*] US dollars (US$[*]).

 

“Royalty Period Two”, consisting of the period from [*] through [*]:  Guaranteed Minimum Royalties of [*] US dollars (US$[*]).

 

“Royalty Period Three”, consisting of the period from [*] through [*]:  Guaranteed Minimum Royalties of [*] US dollars (US$[*]).

 

In the event that Actual Royalties due to IM are greater than the Guaranteed Minimum Royalty for a given Royalty Period, the excess royalties due for that Royalty Period shall be paid from the Pre-paid Royalty.  Any excess royalty amount for a particular Royalty Period that is paid from the Pre-paid Royalty shall not reduce the Guaranteed Minimum Royalty set forth above for later Royalty Periods.  No refunds shall be due in the event that the Actual Royalties for a Royalty Period are less than its Guaranteed Minimum Royalties.  In the event that Actual Royalties due from ATMI to IM are in excess of the Pre-paid Royalty, the remaining royalties due shall be paid as set forth in the Agreement.  Royalties shall continue to be payable after the end of Royalty Period Three in accordance with the terms of the Agreement and this Addendum.

 

If ATMI terminates the Purchase Documentation, pursuant to Section 11.2 of the Agreement, of any of the Second, Third or Fourth Wets Workflows (as set forth in Section 2.1-3 of this Addendum), then IM shall promptly refund [*] of the Pre-paid Royalty for each such set of Wets Workflow Purchase Documentation so terminated.  However, if ATMI elects not to receive the Fourth Wets Workflow as set forth in Quote #4, then ATMI shall not be eligible for a refund on the Pre-paid Royalties for that Wets Workflow as set forth in this Section.

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

 

ARTICLE 6
 WARRANT

 

6.1                                 Issuance.  Upon execution of this Addendum IM shall issue to ATMI a warrant in the form attached as Appendix E (the “Warrant”), to purchase common shares of IM on the terms and conditions set forth in the Warrant.

 

Except as modified by this Addendum, the terms of the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.  The Agreement, together with all Exhibits thereto, and together with this Addendum, and all Appendices hereto, constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes all prior negotiations and understandings between the parties, both oral and written, regarding such subject matter.

 

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties hereto have executed this Addendum as of the day and year first written above.

BACKGROUND

 

IM and ATMI entered into the Agreement effective July 13, 2007 and subsequently entered into the Addendum.  The parties now wish to (i) amend certain terms contained in the Addendum and the Agreement, and (ii) modify their strategic alliance related to the sale of a Dry Workflow and the use thereof by the parties for their mutual benefit.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree as set forth below.

 

ARTICLE 1
 ADDITIONAL DEFINITIONS:  MODIFIED DEFINITION

 

1.1                                 “Dry Workflow” means the [*] workflow sold to ATMI by separate agreement of same date as the Amendment Effective Date, which agreement shall be termed the “Dry Workflow Purchase Agreement.”

3.1                                 Dedicated Personnel:  The parties agree that the final [*] Strategic FTEs referenced in Section 3.1 of the Addendum shall start on [*] providing services to ATMI to support the wet and/or dry processing activities as mutually agreed by the parties.  ATMI shall pay IM for said FTEs at the rate of [*] US dollars (US$[*]) per FTE per month.  IM will invoice ATMI monthly and payment terms shall be as set forth in the Agreement.  Upon the mutual execution of this Amendment, ATMI shall issue or have in place a purchase order to IM to cover the [*] Strategic FTE Services through [*].

 

3.2                                 Access to IM Workflow.  The Strategic FTEs shall have access to the dry workflow capabilities at IM, subject to other commitments to those tools (provided that IM shall use best commercial efforts to ensure reasonable access) until the [*] Dry Workflow tool purchased in the Dry Workflow Purchase Agreement is available to ATMI.   In addition, IM agrees to extend the Wets Workflow access provided in Section 3.2 of the Addendum until [*].  This support shall include access to IM’s metrology and characterization infrastructure (i.e., physical and electrical test equipment) for that period.  ATMI agrees to pay for consumables (such as wafers, mask sets, materials, and targets), outsourced metrology and characterization not supported internally by one of the parties, and other mutually agreed out-of-pocket costs to support the joint programs being performed by the parties using workflows at IM’s facility.

 

3.3                                 Joint Marketing and Development Efforts.  The parties agree to develop joint marketing and development plans for projects utilizing the ATMI Dry Workflow (“Joint Plan”).

marketing (including, without limitation, joint technical presentations), sales or development obligations with a Competitor to address any Strategic Field with any Strategic Account.  For the avoidance of doubt, this provision does not and is not intended to restrict IM from (i) selling one or more Wets Workflows in whole or in part to any Strategic Account, subject to the restrictions in Section 4.2 of the Addendum, or for performing services for a Competitor in the Strategic Fields, except as set forth above, or (ii) licensing its IM Independent IP to any Strategic Accounts or other Third Parties. At any time prior to [*] ATMI may elect in writing to extend its commitment to pay for the [*] Strategic FTEs in Section 3.1 of the Addendum and this Amendment for [*] through [*].  If ATMI makes such election to extend the FTEs, then IM’s obligations set forth in this Section 4.1 shall be extended until [*] (“First Extension”). If ATMI has elected to exercise the First Extension and met the requirements therein, then IM’s obligations set forth in this Section 4.1 shall be extended until [*] if (i) Actual Royalties (as hereinafter defined) paid by ATMI to IM from [*] are equal to or greater than [*] US dollars (US$[*]), and (ii) ATMI elects in writing to extend its commitment to pay for the [*] Strategic FTEs in Section 3.1 of the Addendum and this Amendment for [*] additional [*] through [*] (“Second Extension”). If ATMI has elected to exercise the Second Extension and met the requirements therein, then IM’s obligations set forth in this Section 4.1 shall be extended until [*] if (i) Actual Royalties (as hereinafter defined) paid by ATMI to IM from [*] are equal to or greater than [*]US dollars (US$[*]), and (ii) ATMI elects in writing to extend its commitment to pay for the [*] Strategic FTEs in Section 3.1 of the Addendum and this Amendment for [*] additional [*]through December 31, 2012.

 

4.2                                 Workflow Restrictions on IM.  In addition to the restrictions set forth in Section 4.2 of the Addendum, the parties agree that commencing with the Addendum Effective Date , and continuing until [*], IM agrees not to ship (a) more than [*] of each Element of a Wets Workflow or (b) a [*] system to a Competitor.  Nothing in this Amendment shall preclude IM from (a) shipping any Element of a Wets Workflow or a [*] system, in whole or in part, to a company that is not a Competitor, or (b) shipping a workflow, in whole or in part, to a Competitor after [*].  This provision shall in no way reduce IM’s obligations pursuant to Section 4.2 of the Addendum.

 

[*] Certain information in this document has been omitted and filed separately with the Securities and Exchange Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to the omitted portions.

 

 

4.3           Preferred Material Supplier.  IM agrees that it will evaluate available ATMI materials for any collaborative development program between IM and an integrated device manufacturer for an integrated circuit (“IC”) or a [*] application that starts from the Amendment Effective Date until the later of [*] or the last extension period elected by ATMI pursuant to Section 4.1 of this Amendment (“Collaboration”).  IM will make best commercial efforts to introduce new material opportunities to ATMI and qualify ATMI materials in such Collaborations.  IM agrees to recommend ATMI materials to IM customers in Collaborations if the ATMI materials are timely available, meet the customer’s technical requirements; and are cost competitive.  IM further agrees to provide written feedback to ATMI on any technical gaps and customer cost requirements.  The Parties understand and agree that the selection of material provider is at the sole discretion of the IM customer.  The Parties agree to review the progress under this Section at the Operating Committee meetings and work to address any issues through that process.  Subject to the foregoing obligations, nothing in this Section shall limit IM from engaging Third Parties in IC or solar applications without ATMI or using materials from a Competitor as part of any such Collaboration.

 

4.4           Access to Independent IP and IM Programs.  No license right shall be created by implication, estoppel or otherwise, by this Amendment, to the other Party’s Independent IP, except as explicitly set forth in the Agreement.  No right shall be created by implication, estoppel or otherwise, by this Amendment, for ATMI to participate in any programs IM has or may have in IC or solar applications.

 

ARTICLE 5

ROYALTIES

 

5.1           Royalty Payments to ATMI:  In addition to IM’s obligation to pay ATMI royalties for brokered sales of Wets Workflows to Strategic Accounts as set forth in Section 5.1 of the Addendum, the parties agree that IM’s royalty obligations shall apply to any Wets Workflow sale brokered by ATMI to one of its strategic material company partners.  The second sentence of Section 5.1 of the Addendum is hereby amended to read as follows:

 

“ATMI shall only be deemed to have successfully brokered the sale if the Strategic Account or ATMI strategic material company partner (a) issues a purchase order acceptable to IM in its reasonable discretion, and (b) signs an agreement for the purchase of an element of the Wets Workflow, under terms and conditions generally consistent with those set forth in the Agreement (except for terms relating to exclusivity and volume discounts, and terms relating to the Alliance Agreement).”

ATMI and IM are sometimes referred to herein individually as a “party” and collectively as the “parties.”  Capitalized terms in this Supplement shall have the meaning assigned to them in the Amendment or other agreements between the parties, unless otherwise separately defined herein.

 

IM and ATMI entered into the Addendum to the Wets Workflow Purchase Agreement effective December 21, 2007, and subsequently entered into the Amendment effective on December 16, 2008.  The parties now wish to (i) amend certain terms contained in the Amendment and Addendum, and (ii) modify their strategic alliance by revising certain services related to IM Strategic FTEs and adding Process Integration Support in April 2010 for their mutual benefit of the parties and their strategic alliance,

IM shall invoice ATMI upon execution of this Supplement and ATMI shall pay the above amounts within ten (10) days of such invoice.

 

3.0       Services Restrictions on IM.  The service restrictions, workflow restrictions and preferred material supplier language from Article 4 of the Amendment shall continue through [*] only if ATMI issues the non cancellable purchase orders in Sections 1.0 and 2.0 above and makes the associated payments in a timely manner.  Any extensions of these obligations beyond [*] shall be governed by the requirements set forth in Article 4 of the Amendment.

 

If ATMI does not issue the non-cancellable purchase orders and make the payments as set forth herein, the terms of this Supplement shall be null and void and the Amendment, Addendum and other agreements between the parties shall govern the relationship between ATMI and IM.

 

Except as explicitly set forth in this Supplement, the terms of the Amendment, Addendum, and other agreements between the parties shall remain in full force and effect.  The Supplement constitutes the entire agreement and understanding of the parties relating to the subject matter set forth herein, and supersedes all negotiations and understandings between the parties, both oral and written, regarding such subject matter.

8.7                                 Exclusions. The warranties and remedies set forth in Sections 8.3 and 8.4 will be void as to (i) any Dry Workflow that has been damaged, modified, or altered (other than by IM or as authorized in writing by an officer of IM) (ii) any Dry Workflow that has been subjected to physical, electrical or other environmental abuse or misuse, including improper storage or conditions not in accordance with IM’s specifications, or (iii) damage or non-conformities, in whole or in part, arising from use of the Dry Workflow with any other hardware, software, firmware, devices, or other products not provided by IM or chemicals not recommended or approved for use by IM on the Dry Workflow Equipment or as otherwise set forth in Exhibit B unless Customer can demonstrate by clear and convincing evidence that the matter described in clause (i), (ii) or (iii) above, as applicable, did not cause the non-conformity in whole or in part.

 

8.8                                 Disclaimer.

ARTICLE 9
 INDEMNIFICATION

 

9.1                                 IM agrees to defend and hold Customer harmless from and against all claims, losses, damages, judgments, awards, settlements, and costs (including reasonable attorneys’ fees), arising out of, or resulting from, any litigation or

proceeding brought by a Third Party alleging infringement by the Dry Workflow or the use of such Dry Workflow by Customer in the Field pursuant to and in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (“Use”) of a Third Party’s Intellectual Property Rights, provided that (i) Customer notifies IM promptly in writing of the claim (provided, however, that the failure to promptly provide notice to IM will not affect IM’s duties or obligations under this Article 9 except to the extent IM is prejudiced thereby) and (ii) Customer assists and cooperates reasonably with IM, at IM expense, in defending or settling such claim. IM shall have sole control of the defense and all related potential settlement negotiations, provided that IM shall not enter into any settlement which would materially adversely affect the Rights granted to Customer under this Agreement without Customer’s express prior written consent. Customer shall be entitled to be represented by Customer’s own counsel at Customer’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, IM shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on or arising from the use, sale, offer for sale, import license, or manufacture of Products or other related technology sold or licensed by Customer that is derived from the Dry Workflow.

 

9.2                                 In the event the Dry Workflow or Use thereof is held, or IM, in good faith and in its sole discretion, believes may be held, to infringe or misappropriate any Intellectual Property Rights of a Third Party, IM shall at its sole expense: (i) obtain a license to continue to use the Dry Workflow without additional charge to Customer; or (ii) modify the Dry Workflow or Use thereof, so they are non-infringing and meet the applicable Acceptance Criteria (“Non-Infringing Modification”). IM’s indemnification obligations shall cease if Customer fails or refuses to implement any Non-Infringing Modification or if the Use is other than a licensed Use.

 

9.3                                 Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, IM provides no indemnification of claims that Third Party Software infringes Third Party Intellectual Property Rights if said claims do not allege that the infringement was caused by use of the Third Party Software in combination with other elements of the Wets Workflow. Customer’s right to indemnification, if any, in connection with such claims shall be governed by its applicable Third Party end user license agreement.

 

9.4                                 The foregoing indemnity states the sole obligations and exclusive liability of IM, and Customer’s sole recourse and exclusive remedy for any Third Party claim of infringement or misappropriation of an Intellectual Property Right by IM under this Agreement.
