Sublicenses COMPANY shall have the right to grant sublicenses under its license grant as described in Section 2.1. COMPANY shall incorporate terms and conditions into its sublicense agreements sufficient to enable COMPANY to comply with this Agreement. The terms of any sublicense agreement shall not contradict the terms of this AGREEMENT and shall include (at least) the following provisions: prohibiting any use of THE PARTIES’s names, requiring indemnification of THE PARTIES, requiring appropriate insurance, and disclaiming any warranties or representations by THE PARTIES. COMPANY shall also include provisions in all sublicenses to provide that in the event that SUBLICENSEE brings a PATENT CHALLENGE against any or all of THE PARTIES or assists another party in bringing a PATENT CHALLENGE against any or all of THE PARTIES (except as required under a court order or subpoena) then COMPANY may terminate the sublicense.

Sublicense SONY shall be permitted to sublicense the rights ---------- granted in Section

LEXAR and SONY acknowledge that in the course of these negotiations, the parties' mutual interest in making the Host Device manufacturing license available as broadly as possible should be weighed against the importance of protecting LEXAR's Confidential Information.
