PURCHASE AGREEMENT
------------------
THIS AGREEMENT entered into this 9th day of June, 1997, by and between
LASERSIGHT TECHNOLOGIES, INC. ("LST"), a Florida corporation, whose address is
00000 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxx 000, Xxxxxxx, XX XXX 00000, and TUI LASERTECHNIK UND
LASERINTEGRATION GmbH, a German corporation, whose address is Xxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx
00, X-00000 Xxxxxxxxxx/Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxx ("TUI").
Background
TUI is in the business of manufacturing certain lasers and/or laser
components, including an excimer laser, which contains, as a major component, an
excimer licensed technology.
LST manufactures and sells laser systems for use in ophthalmologic
medical applications, including excimer laser systems for vision correction
applications.
TUI is in the process of developing a certain small laser head
technology ("Laser"), which is an ArF excimer laser as described in the
technical specifications attached hereto as Exhibit 1.4. TUI is willing to sell
the Lasers to LST and to grant LST a limited license to use the technology of
TUI incorporated therein ("Licensed Technology") for use in any and all of LST's
ophthalmic laser systems, including, but not limited to, LS300, LaserScan 2000,
and LaserScan LSX (the "Systems") on the terms and conditions set forth herein.
Terms of Agreement
IN CONSIDERATION of the mutual promises and obligations contained in
this Agreement, the parties agree as follows:
1. LIMITED EXCLUSIVITY.
1.1 Exclusive Purchase Rights. During the Term (as defined
herein) of this Agreement, LST shall purchase from TUI and TUI shall sell to LST
on an exclusive basis, the Lasers. TUI hereby grants LST a license to use the
Licensed Technology incorporated in the Laser according to the terms of this
Agreement. During the Term, as long as LST is not in default (as defined in
Article 6), TUI agrees that it will not, for or on behalf of any competitor of
LST in the small-beam scanning laser market in LST's Field of Application, as
such term is defined in Exhibit 1.1 attached hereto and incorporated herein by
reference, (i) enter into any agreement to sell, promote, market or distribute
the Lasers or the Licensed Technology or (ii) sell, promote, market or
distribute the Lasers or the Licensed Technology. Notwithstanding the foregoing
rights of exclusivity, if LST licenses its patent covering the Field of
Application to an unaffiliated person or entity, other than by licenses existing
as of the date of this Agreement, then TUI shall have the right to sell Lasers
to such persons or entities within the Field of Application. LST agrees during
the Term not to purchase laserheads for the Field of Application from any
supplier other than TUI, except that LST may continue to purchase laserheads
from MPB without restriction.
1.2 Redesign of Licensed Technology. LST agrees that LST will
not materially improve or redesign the MPB Technology. LST does intend to make
process improvements in its rework process and to correct certain design flaws
in the areas of optics mounts and electrode securement. Such improvements and
corrections shall not be deemed to be material improvements or redesigns from
the existing technical state of the Lasers as defined LST's technical manuals,
copies of which have been provided to TUI.
1.3 Loss of Exclusive Purchase Rights. TUI shall have the
right to terminate the exclusive purchase rights of LST if (a) LST does not meet
the minimum purchase requirements set forth in Exhibit 3.1 for a period of one
(1) quarter plus a forty-five (45) day cure period, or (b) if LST is past due on
the payment of three (3) or more Laser units for more than forty-five (45) days
after the due date for payment for such units. Termination will be effective
immediately upon LST's receipt of notice from TUI. Termination of exclusivity by
TUI upon the occurrence of either of the events set forth in this Section 1.3
shall not result in the loss of LST's rights to purchase the Lasers at the
purchase prices set forth in Article 3.
1.4 Non-Circumvention by TUI. The specifications of the Laser
and the Licensed Technology are set forth in Exhibit 1.4. LST acknowledges that
TUI is continuously developing and improving its excimer laser technology and
that, as part of this process, TUI may improve the Licensed Technology. TUI
shall not circumvent the exclusive rights granted LST under Section 1.1 by
making minor modifications, as defined in Exhibit 1.4, to the design and
specifications of the Laser, or the Licensed Technology. The exclusive rights
granted LST under Section 1.1 of this Agreement shall not apply to, and TUI
shall not be deemed to have circumvented the intent of Section 1.1 as a result
of, a major modification, as defined in Exhibit 1.4, to the Laser, provided,
however, that TUI agrees to inform LST of any demonstrable major modification,
as defined in Exhibit 1.4, to the Laser or the Licensed Technology, and the
technical improvements and price influences. LST shall have the right to have
any such major modification incorporated into future purchases of the Lasers
under this Agreement at mutually agreed upon prices and on terms no less
favorable than those offered to other customers of TUI..
2. TERM.
2.1 Initial Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall
begin on the date of Acceptance (as defined below) of the first production Laser
to be delivered by TUI to LST as set forth in Section 3.1 ("Effective Date") and
shall continue in full force and effect for a period of eighteen (18) months
thereafter ("Initial Term"), unless otherwise terminated by other provisions of
this Agreement. "Acceptance" of a Laser means, after functional testing by LST
in a laser system, the Laser has met all LST-defined technical specifications.
2.2 Optional Renewal by LST. Provided that TUI has not
terminated pursuant to Section 1.3 LST's exclusive purchase rights as set forth
in Section 1.1, LST shall have the option to renew this Agreement for an
additional eighteen (18) months ("Renewal Term"). The terms and conditions of
purchase for Lasers for the Renewal Term shall be mutually agreed to by the
parties, but the minimum purchase requirements shall be not less than the
minimum purchase requirements, and no more than one hundred twenty-five percent
(125%) of the minimum purchase requirements, applicable to the Initial Term. For
purposes of this Agreement, "Term" shall mean the Initial Term and the Renewal
Term, if any.
