6. Confidentiality.
(a) In connection with the performance of this Agreement,
each Party (a "Receiving Party") may receive Confidential Information
of the other Party (a "Disclosing Party"), which constitutes
valuable, special and unique property of the Disclosing Party. For
the purposes of this Agreement, "Confidential Information" means the
confidential or proprietary information and materials of the
Disclosing Party so identified in writing at the time of disclosure
to the Receiving party including, without limitation: (1) any trade
secrets, know-how or proprietary technology; (2) information
regarding plans for research and development; or (3) the existence of
any business discussions, negotiations or agreements between the
Parties, including the terms and provisions of this Agreement;
whether any of the foregoing is in oral, graphic, written, electronic
or machine readable form. Confidential Information also includes,
each Party's products and services. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
the Parties agree that, except for information that is required by
law to remain confidential, Confidential Information will not include
any information that: (A) was in the public domain at the time it was
communicated to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party; (B)
entered the public domain subsequent to the time it was communicated
to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing Party through no fault of
the Receiving Party; (C) was developed by employees or agents of the
Receiving Party independently of and without reference to any
information communicated to the Receiving Party by the Disclosing
Party, as demonstrated by the Receiving Party's written records, or
(D) to the extent that either Party is required by law or regulation
to disclose such information.
(b) With respect to any Confidential Information, the
Receiving Party will: (1) receive the Confidential Information in
strict confidence; and (2) accord to such Confidential Information at
least the same level of protection against unauthorized use or
disclosure that the Receiving Party customarily accords its own
Confidential Information; and (3) use or permit use of the
Confidential Information solely and exclusively in carrying out its
obligations under this Agreement; and (4) use its commercially
reasonable best efforts to ensure that access to such Confidential
Information is not provided to any third parties or to any employees
without a specific need to know the information. Within 90 days of
this Agreement's termination, each Party will return or destroy all
copies, in whatever media or form, of the Confidential Information
received from the other Party, except to the extent that either Party
may be required by law or regulation to retain such information.
(c) Each Party has certain obligations under law and
governmental regulations to report financial and operational
information to the public and to governmental entities, which are
inherently in conflict with the high degree of confidentiality sought
to be imposed by the provisions above. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement to the contrary, either Party may make
such disclosure of Confidential Information as may be required by law
or regulation. Such disclosures, however, will be made to the
minimum extent possible under the circumstances, will wherever
possible utilize available procedures to exempt or protect
proprietary or medical information, and the disclosing Party will
give the other notice of such disclosure. In the event that a
Receiving Party or its respective directors, officers, employees,
consultants or agents is requested or required by legal process to
disclose any Confidential Information, the Receiving Party will
provide adequate notice to the Disclosing Party so that the
Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate
relief. In the event that such a protective order is not obtained,
such Receiving Party may disclose only that portion of the
Confidential Information that such Receiving Party's counsel advises
that such Receiving Party is legally required to disclose.
(d) Damages alone will be an inadequate remedy for any
breach or violation of the provisions of this Section 6 in view of
the difficulties of placing a monetary value on the Confidential
Information, each Party is entitled to a preliminary and final
injunction to prevent any breach or further breach of this Section 6
or further unauthorized use of Confidential Information. This remedy
is separate and apart from any other remedy such party may have at
law or in equity.
7. Indemnification.
(a) Each Party (the "Indemnifying Party") shall hold the
other Party, its officers, directors, employees, affiliates,
successors, and assigns (collectively, the "Indemnified Parties")
harmless against all losses, damages, or expenses of whatever form or
nature, including reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs of legal
defense, whether direct or indirect, that they, or any of the
Indemnified Parties, may sustain or incur as a result of any acts or
omissions of the Indemnifying Party or any of its affiliates,
directors, officers, employees, or other agents, including but not
limited to (1) breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement,
(2) gross negligence or other tortious conduct, or (3)
representations or statements not specifically authorized by the
Indemnified Parties herein or otherwise in writing.
(b) Provided that the Selling Party is not grossly
negligent in the performance of its obligations hereunder, the
Referring Party will be under no obligation to make an independent
investigation or inquiry as to the representations made to it by
either the Selling Party or any party, which the Referring Party
introduces to the Selling Party, and the Referring Party will be
entitled to rely in good faith upon any such representations. The
Referring Party does not assume responsibility for the accuracy or
completeness of any information provided to it by a Prospect.
8. Right to Audit. During the term of this Agreement and for
at least two years after termination of this Agreement, each Party
must maintain complete and correct financial records as are required
to verify compliance with this Agreement. In order to verify
compliance under this Agreement, no more than twice each year during
the term of this Agreement, and once each year after termination of
this Agreement, either Party (the "Auditing Party"), through its
nationally or regionally recognized independent auditors, must have
reasonable access during normal business hours and upon reasonable
prior written notice, to the books and records of the other Party
(the "Audited Party") insofar as such books and records relate to the
amounts payable to the Auditing Party under this Agreement. All
books of accounts and records must be kept available for at least two
calendar years after the termination of this Agreement and, in the
event that there is an unresolved dispute with regard to the amounts
payable under this Agreement at the end of such period of time, all
such records must be preserved by the Audited Party until such
dispute is resolved. If, as a result of the audit, the auditors
determine that the Audited Party misreported any figure or unpaid any
amount, the Auditing Party must promptly furnish to the Audited Party
a copy of the report of its auditors setting forth the discrepancy
and showing in reasonable detail the bases upon which the same was
determined. If the Audited Party disputes the results of the audit,
such dispute will be resolved by negotiation or arbitration in
accordance with the provisions of Section 11 below. The Audited
Party will remit to the Auditing Party the amount of any underpayment
within 30 days of receiving notification of such (or, in the event of
a disputed audit, within 30 days of its resolution by mediation or
receipt of the arbitrators' final award, as applicable), together
with interest calculated at an annual rate of one and one half
percent (1/2%) for each month such payment is overdue, or such rate as
allowed by law, whichever is less. If there is an underpayment of
ten percent (10%) or more in the amounts paid by the Audited Party
for the period in dispute, (a) the Audited Party will pay, in
addition to the amount of the shortfall plus interest, all expenses
and costs relating to such audit and (b) such audit will not count
against the total number of audits the Auditing Party is permitted to
conduct during such year.
9. Term; Termination. This Agreement shall have an initial
term of 3 years commencing on the effective date. The Agreement will
renew automatically for successive one-year terms, unless terminated
earlier. Either Party may earlier terminate this Agreement upon 30
days prior written notice to the other Party addressed to the other
at the address set forth above or such other address as the Parties
shall designate in like manner. Sections 2, 4, 6, 7 and 8 shall
survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement.
10. Future Agreements; Governing Law. This Agreement contains
the entire Agreement between the Parties concerning the subject
matter hereof, and no modifications of this Agreement or waiver of
the terms and conditions hereof will be binding unless approved in
writing by each Party hereto. This Agreement will be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania without regard to its principles of conflicts of law and
jurisdiction and venue is hereby conferred by the parties upon any
court of competent jurisdiction sitting in the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania.
11. Arbitration. Any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, will be settled in
the state of the Party who first initiates a demand for arbitration
under this Agreement, such arbitration to be administered by the
American Arbitration Association in accordance with its Commercial
Arbitration Rules, and judgment on the award rendered by the
arbitrator may be entered in any court having jurisdiction. The
arbitrator may award monetary damages (but not punitive damages as
the Parties agree that neither shall be liable to the other for
punitive damages), injunctive relief, costs and reasonable attorneys'
fees. The arbitration will be final and binding regardless of
whether one of the Parties fails or refuses to participate in the
arbitration. The arbitrator will not have the power to amend this
Agreement in any respect. Notwithstanding the foregoing, this
Section 11 does not apply to the breach of provisions pertaining to
confidentiality and proprietary rights, and that either Party may
petition a court of law for injunctive relief and such other rights
and remedies as it may have at law or equity against such breaches.
12. Limitations Period. Any action or claims rising out of or
relating to this Agreement or any completed sale hereunder, or by
reason of any federal or state statutory provision relating thereto,
must be commenced within one year from the date such cause of action
arises, otherwise such action or claim will be barred notwithstanding
any statutory period of limitations to the contrary.
13. Limitation of Damages. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR
ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT OR OF ANY DUTY OR OBLIGATION ARISING OUT
OF OR RELATED HERETO, IN ANY AMOUNT IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY
RECEIVED BY SUCH PARTY FOR THE PRODUCTS AND SERVICES WITH RESPECT TO
WHICH SUCH BREACH OCCURS, AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE IN ANY EVENT FOR
