INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS AGREEMENT
This Agreement, effective as of the ____ day of ___________, 1996, is by and
between Imation Corp., a Delaware corporation whose address and principal place
of business is 0 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx, Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 ("IMATION") and
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company, a Delaware corporation whose address
and principal place of business is 3M Center, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000
("3M").
RECITALS:
3M is spinning off IMATION as a separate independent company to operate in
fields generally distinct from 3M. This Agreement is intended to license and
assign to IMATION certain intellectual property rights. Since certain IMATION
employees will be located in 3M facilities for a period of time in the future
and to provide a smooth transition, 3M and IMATION provide limited licenses to
each other under intellectual property developed in the future. Also, since 3M's
corporate culture provides for an intermingling of technology, noncompete and
change in control provisions are provided to minimize the opportunity for
conflict.
In consideration of these premises and of the mutual promises set forth below,
the parties to this Agreement agree as follows:

Products are manufactured in accordance with the designs,
product specifications and standards set forth from time to
time in writing by 3M. These designs, product specifications
and standards are initially as established by 3M as of the
Distribution Date and as may be modified from time to time by

4.2. Sublicense Right. The right and license granted under
Paragraph 4.1 shall not include the right to grant sublicenses
to any third party, except that IMATION may sublicense IMATION

time or times, to conduct, during regular business hours, an
examination of IMATION's Trademark Licensed Products and the
plants and processes for making Trademark Licensed Products.

or assembled by or for IMATION and bearing the Licensed
Trademarks and/or Licensed Trade Dresses shall, in the
reasonable opinion of 3M, fail to conform to the standards of
quality set by 3M, 3M shall give IMATION notice of such
failure. IMATION shall immediately employ its best efforts to
cure such failure. If IMATION is unable to cure such failure
in as short a period as possible, which in no instance shall
exceed thirty (30) days after such notice, IMATION shall
immediately thereafter remove the Licensed Trademarks and/or
Licensed Trade Dresses from all such non-conforming Trademark
Licensed Products in its possession, and shall, as rapidly as
possible, replace, at its own cost, any such non-conforming
Trademark Licensed Products held in the trade with conforming

authorize others to do so. Further, IMATION shall not use
"3M/IMATION" or "IMATION/3M" or any other combination of "3M"
and "IMATION" that is likely to cause confusion, mistake or
deception as to the source, origin, association, affiliation,
sponsorship or endorsement between these two separate
companies, or their respective products or services. In
addition to all other obligations and restrictions imposed
upon IMATION under this Article 4 in respect to manner of use
of the Licensed Trademarks, IMATION shall always describe the
Licensed Trademarks used as trademarks in Canada in a manner
so as to indicate clearly that they are trademarks of 3M.

from time to time by 3M with respect to the use of the
Licensed Trademarks and Licensed Trade Dresses as follows:
4.7.1. The use shall be as mutually agreed upon in writing

periods indicated in Exhibit L. Final authority as to
permitted use for the Licensed Trademarks and
Licensed Trade Dress shall rest with 3M. The Parties
expect to establish written use guidelines, Sample
initial product packaging and use guidelines using
the Licensed Trademarks are attached hereto as
Exhibit M. IMATION must transition to initial product
packaging substantially similar to that shown in
Exhibit M within six (6) months after the
Distribution Date, or any later date approved by 3M
in writing, and IMATION shall take all measures
required by law to avoid deception of the public, and
assumes all warranty obligations. If at any time
IMATION's use of Licensed Trademarks or Licensed
Trade Dresses fails to comply with the agreed upon
use guidelines, 3M shall provide notice to IMATION
and IMATION shall conform to such use guidelines
within ninety (90) days of such notice. Any use of
the Licensed Trademarks or Licensed Trade Dresses not
specifically agreed upon shall be adopted by IMATION
only upon prior approval in writing by 3M as set
forth in the first sentence of this Paragraph 4.7.1.
Representative specimens showing the use of the
Licensed Trademarks by IMATION shall be sent to 3M
from time to time upon request of 3M.
4.7.2. IMATION has a certain volume of slow moving inventory
which has the Licensed Trademarks and/or Licensed
Trade Dress molded into the product or otherwise
directly applied to the product. To minimize any
possible need to destroy product, 3M agrees that it
will be sufficient for IMATION to repackage any such
product to be sold by IMATION after March 31, 1997,
in packaging conforming with the sample packaging of
Exhibit M; provided, that IMATION will destroy any
such product remaining in inventory after the
expiration of the use periods in Exhibit L for any of
the Licensed Trademarks appearing on such inventory.
Further, businesses being transferred to IMATION have
certain molds for CD-ROMs prepared for third parties
which these businesses retain in the ordinary course
of business for one to two years to allow for
repressing of more identical CD-ROMs. These existing
molds include the words "Made by 3M" as part of the
mold. These words cannot be removed without
completely replacing the molds, which would impose a
significant cost burden on either IMATION or the
customer. 3M agrees that IMATION may retain and
continue to use such molds through the end of 1997.
IMATION's usage of packaging or molds pursuant to
this Paragraph 4.7.2 is subject to IMATION taking all
measures required by law to avoid deception of the
public and assuming all warranty obligations.
4.8. Compliance With Laws. IMATION shall comply with all laws and
governmental regulations pertaining to the proper use and
designation of trademarks in the various countries where such
trademarks are used.
4.9. Admission of Validity. IMATION admits the validity of the
Licensed Trademarks and Licensed Trade Dresses and agrees that
any and all rights and goodwill that might be acquired by the
use of the Licensed Trademarks and Licensed Trade Dresses by
IMATION shall inure to the sole benefit of 3M. IMATION agrees
to fully cooperate with 3M in registering and maintaining the
Licensed Trademarks and Licensed Trade Dresses and recording
this Agreement, all at 3M's expense.
4.10. Use of Other Trademarks by IMATION. IMATION agrees not to use
or register in any country any trademarks or trade dresses
resembling or confusingly similar to the Licensed Trademarks
or Licensed Trade Dresses during the term of the trademark
license under this Article 4 and thereafter. Whenever the
attention of IMATION is called by 3M to any such uses or
registrations, IMATION agrees to take appropriate steps
immediately to remedy or avoid such trademarks or trade
dresses.
4.11. Infringement of Licensed Trademarks and Licensed Trade Dresses
and Maintenance of Applications For Registrations and
Registrations.
4.11.1. IMATION shall give 3M notice of any known or presumed
infringements of the Licensed Trademarks, and IMATION
shall give 3M full cooperation in the protection of
the Licensed Trademarks and Licensed Trade Dresses.
If 3M decides to enforce the Licensed Trademarks or
Licensed Trade Dresses against an infringer, all
costs incurred and all recoveries made shall be for
the account of 3M, unless otherwise agreed to in a
separate writing between the Parties. 3M shall have
the right to name IMATION as a party in any
litigation involving any such enforcement of rights,
provided 3M agrees to indemnify IMATION vis-a-vis any
damages awarded to any third party as the result of
enforcement of such rights.
4.11.2. The parties will establish a mutually acceptable
docketing system and other procedures to permit
IMATION to monitor the status of registration
applications and registrations for Licensed
Trademarks so as to allow IMATION to take any action
necessary to avoid an unintentional or inadvertent
abandonment by 3M of any such registration
application or registration.
4.12. 3M Right to Terminate Forthwith.
4.12.1. 3M shall have the right to terminate immediately the
license rights granted under this Article 4 in the
event 3M reasonably determines that the use of a
particular Licensed Trademark or Licensed Trade Dress
by IMATION could be deemed to be in connection with
obscene, pornographic, or excessively violent
materials or subjects or otherwise in poor taste or
unlawful and thereby impairing or diminishing the
value of the Licensed Trademark or Licensed Trade
Dress to 3M.
4.12.2. 3M shall have the right to terminate immediately the
license rights granted under this Article 4 relative
to any country in the event 3M shall reasonably
determine that IMATION's use of any Licensed
Trademark, Licensed Trade Dress or activities
associated therewith in such country are such as to
significantly impair, tarnish or diminish the
trademark or 3M corporate image in that country.
4.12.3. 3M shall have the right to terminate immediately the
license rights granted under this Article 4 in the
event that 3M shall reasonably determine that
IMATION's reputation becomes sufficiently negative
that continued use of any Licensed Trademark or
Licensed Trade Dress would significantly impair,
tarnish or diminish 3M's reputation.
4.13. Other Breach by IMATION. In the event that IMATION does not
comply with any provisions of this Article 4, other than
Paragraph 4.12, and 3M elects to give IMATION notice of such
non-compliance, IMATION shall have ten (10) days from the
receipt of such notice to remedy the non-compliance. If the
non-compliance is not remedied within the ten (10) day period
of time, 3M shall have the right to terminate immediately the
license rights granted under this Article 4.
4.14. Cessation of Use of Trademarks and Trade Dresses. Upon
termination of the licenses granted under this Article 4,
IMATION shall as quickly as reasonably possible cease and
discontinue all further use of the Licensed Trademarks and
Licensed Trade Dresses. IMATION shall remove all Licensed
Trademarks and all Licensed Trade Dresses from all Trademark
Licensed Products remaining in inventory after three (3)
months from such termination.
5. ASSIGNMENT TO IMATION OF CERTAIN TRADEMARKS AND TRADE DRESSES
5.1. 3M assigns IMATION all right, title and interest in and to the
Assigned Trademarks and Assigned Trade Dresses, together with
the goodwill of the business symbolized by the Assigned
Trademarks and Assigned Trade Dresses, and the applications
for registration and the registrations for the Assigned
Trademarks as set forth in Exhibit I.
5.2. 3M shall promptly execute assignments contemplated by
Paragraph 5.1 and requested by IMATION, at 3M's expense, and
shall provide the same to IMATION for filing by IMATION, as
IMATION deems appropriate and at its expense, including any
fees and taxes associated therewith.
5.3. 3M shall assign to IMATION the BLACKWATCH trademark and the
"BALL AND LADDER" design trademark on an appropriate date in
the future when 3M is no longer using the same in its own
businesses or otherwise, subject to the retention by 3M of a
worldwide, paid-up, royalty-free sublicensable right and
license to use the "BALL AND LADDER" design trademark in
connection with head cleaners for video and audio drives. Such
assignment shall include the goodwill of the business
symbolized by the above trademarks, except for the goodwill
relating to the businesses for which 3M retains a license
under this Paragraph 5.3.
5.4. Use of Other Trademarks by 3M. 3M agrees not to use or
register in any country any trademarks or trade dresses
resembling or confusingly similar to the Assigned Trademarks
or Assigned Trade Dresses during the term of the trademark
license to 3M under Paragraph 5.3 and thereafter. Whenever the
attention of 3M is called by IMATION to any such uses or
registrations, 3M agrees to take appropriate steps immediately
to remedy or avoid such trademarks or trade dresses.
6. LICENSE UNDER 3M COPYRIGHT RIGHTS
6.1. 3M hereby grants to IMATION paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide
licenses to 3M Licensed Works regularly used in the ordinary
course of business on or before the Distribution Date by a 3M
business being transferred to IMATION as follows:
6.1.1. a non-exclusive license with a right to sublicense
IMATION Affiliates, and third parties to the extent
permitted by Article 11, to exercise any or all of
the 3M Copyright Rights in such 3M Licensed Works in
the Non-Exclusive Fields; and
6.1.2. an exclusive license (subject to any licenses granted
by 3M prior to the Distribution Date to third parties
which are not 3M Affiliates), with a right to
sublicense IMATION Affiliates, and third parties to
the extent permitted by Article 11, to exercise any
or all of the 3M Copyright Rights in such 3M Licensed
Works in the IMATION Supply Fields and the IMATION
Exclusive Fields.
6.2. IMATION's exercise of any license, exclusive or non-exclusive,
granted pursuant to this Article 6, shall be subject to all
prohibitions, restrictions and qualifications set forth in
this Agreement including, for example, restrictions on the use
and disclosure of 3M Confidential Information that may be
contained in a 3M Licensed Work and the limitations respecting
3M Software set forth in Paragraph 7.1.
6.3. If either party modifies, revises, enhances or creates any
derivative work (collectively referred to as "New Material")
of any 3M Licensed Work (including any item of 3M Software)
during the Foreground Period, then: (i) the party making such
New Material shall own all copyright rights arising in and to
such New Material without affecting 3M's ownership of all
copyright rights in the underlying 3M Licensed Work, (ii) if
such New Material has been created by 3M, then it shall be
treated as a 3M Licensed Work and licensed to IMATION subject
to this Article 6 and Article 7, and (iii) if such New
Material has been created by IMATION, then IMATION grants to
3M paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide, irrevocable and
non-exclusive licenses to exercise any or all of IMATION's
copyright rights arising in and to such New Material in the 3M
Business Fields and Non-Exclusive Fields in a manner
consistent with the rights retained by and/or licensed to 3M
under this Agreement.
6.4. 3M and IMATION shall jointly determine within about ninety
(90) days after the Distribution Date any works (including
computer software) which (a) are subject to 3M Copyright
Rights, and (b) have been used prior to the Distribution Date
exclusively by businesses being transferred to IMATION and not
used or anticipated to be used by any business remaining with
3M on the Distribution Date. 3M shall assign its entire right,
title and interest in any such works to IMATION in a manner
consistent with the assignment of Assigned PI under Article 3.
7. LICENSES UNDER 3M SOFTWARE AND THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE
7.1. License of 3M Software. IMATION's use and licensing of any 3M
Copyright Rights in 3M Software which are licensed under
section 6.1 are limited as follows:
7.1.1. External Use Software. 3M and IMATION shall jointly
determine within about ninety (90) days after the
Distribution Date those items of 3M Software which
are being developed as of the Distribution Date by a
3M business being transferred to IMATION and intended
by 3M for sublicensing, leasing or otherwise
distributing to third parties in the regular course
of business by such 3M business. IMATION may
sublicense, lease or otherwise distribute i) such
software, ii) any software being licensed, leased or
otherwise distributed to third parties on or before
the Distribution Date in the regular course of
business by a 3M business being transferred to
IMATION, and iii) revisions, updates or new versions
of the foregoing, to third parties to the extent
permitted in Article 11 and in a manner consistent
with the license rights expressly granted to IMATION
under Articles 2 and 3 of this Agreement to end
users, either directly, through distributors, through
value-added resellers, or otherwise.
7.1.2. Internal Use Software. Except as provided in
Paragraph 7.1.3, IMATION shall use any 3M Software,
other than that identified in Paragraph 7.1.1, only
for IMATION's own internal operations (including, but
not limited to, research, development, manufacture,
purchasing, accounting, engineering, marketing,
merchandising, selling, leasing, servicing or
finance) and only in a manner consistent with the
rights expressly granted to IMATION under Articles 2
and 3 of this Agreement. Such use may include loading
and executing such software on computers owned or
leased by IMATION (or, where appropriate and agreed
between the parties, remotely accessing such software
loaded on 3M computers and executing such software
via such remote access). Access to, and use of, such
software shall be restricted to IMATION Employees,
and to such contract workers, consultants and other
contractors who have executed a nondisclosure
agreement limiting the access to and use of the
software for IMATION's strictly internal purposes.
Such software shall be considered 3M Confidential
Information, and may not be sublicensed or otherwise
transferred at any time to any third party, except
that it may be sublicensed or otherwise transferred
to IMATION Affiliates only for use by IMATION
Affiliates in their internal operations.
7.1.3. Manufacturing Software. IMATION may sublicense to
third parties a limited right to use that 3M Software
which, on or before the Distribution Date, a business
being transferred to IMATION used, or was developing
specifically for use, directly in the manufacture of
IMATION products (i.e., to drive, control or regulate
manufacturing equipment), to the extent permitted by
Article 11, as well as in connection with
out-sourcing of products by IMATION or otherwise
exercising the "have made" rights granted to IMATION
elsewhere in this Agreement, subject to i) IMATION
procuring agreements restricting the use and
disclosure by any such third party of 3M Confidential
Information discernible from such software to the
extent contemplated by Article 15, and ii) the
provisions herein regarding protection of
Extraordinarily Sensitive Technologies.
Provided, however, that nothing in this Paragraph 7.1 shall be
construed i) as in any way limiting IMATION's right to use any
algorithms, tools, utilities, sub-routines and the like for
computer programming in any manner which is consistent with
the rights expressly granted to IMATION under Articles 2 and 3
of this Agreement, or ii) as granting any right to use content
in programs or software other than as expressly granted to
IMATION under Articles 2 and 3 of this Agreement.
7.2. Delivery of Software. Upon request by IMATION within two (2)
years after the Distribution Date, 3M shall deliver to IMATION
human-readable and machine-executable copies of all source
codes and object codes, and any associated documentation for
the 3M Software to which IMATION is entitled under this
Article 7.
7.3. No Support or Maintenance. Unless specified in a separate
written agreement between 3M and IMATION, 3M shall have no
obligation to provide support (either telephone or on-site),
maintenance, modifications, updates or enhancements to IMATION
concerning any 3M Software. 3M shall provide to IMATION, at
IMATION's expense, reasonable amounts of consulting to explain
source codes, object codes and associated documents provided
under Paragraph 7.2.
7.4. Third Party Software.
7.4.1. IMATION understands and acknowledges that many
software products utilized by 3M, including software
directly used by the 3M businesses being transferred
to IMATION and software used by various 3M
departments providing support and services to such 3M
businesses and their employees (e.g., Human
Resources, Finance and the like) have been licensed
from third parties pursuant to software license
agreements that contain restrictions which, by their
terms, specifically prohibit 3M from making and
transferring copies of the Third Party Software to
IMATION, or permitting IMATION to access or use the
Third Party Software. IMATION further understands and
acknowledges that Third Party Software licensed to 3M
under distribution and value-added reseller
agreements, including 3M businesses being transferred
to IMATION, contain provisions that prohibit or
condition assignment of 3M's rights under such
agreements to IMATION.
7.4.2. Accordingly, with respect to Third Party Software, 3M
will assist IMATION to, where appropriate, obtain the
third party licensor's permission: (i) to assign 3M's
rights and obligations (in whole or in part) to
IMATION, and transfer possession of the Third Party
Software to IMATION, and/or (ii) to make and provide
copies of the Third Party Software to IMATION, and/or
(iii) to permit IMATION to access remotely the Third
Party Software resident on 3M computers and to use
such Third Party Software, and/or (iv) to permit 3M
to utilize the Third Party Software on IMATION's
behalf in instances where IMATION will not be given
access to such software.
7.4.3. When such third party permission has been secured,
IMATION shall be responsible for complying with all
conditions imposed by such third party, including
restrictions and limitations on IMATION's use of the
Third Party Software and the payment of any
additional licensee/transfer fees together with all
applicable federal, state and local taxes imposed
thereon.
8. OWNERSHIP OF FOREGROUND INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
8.1. 3M Owned. Unless and to the extent a separate written
agreement between 3M and IMATION provides otherwise,
including, but not limited to, any agreement pursuant to
Paragraph 14.1 or 14.2, 3M shall own all right, title and
interest to 3M Foreground PI, 3M Foreground Patents and any
other intellectual property, whether patented or not,
conceived solely by one or more employees or agents of 3M
after the Distribution Date.
8.2. IMATION Owned. Unless and to the extent either Paragraph
16.3.1 or a separate written agreement between 3M and IMATION
provides otherwise, including, but not limited to, any
agreement pursuant to Paragraph 14.1 or 14.2, IMATION shall
own all right, title and interest to IMATION Foreground PI,
IMATION Foreground Patents and any other intellectual
property, whether patented or not, conceived solely by one or
more employees or agents of IMATION after the Distribution
Date.
8.3. Jointly Owned. Unless and to the extent either Paragraph
16.3.1 or a separate written agreement between 3M and IMATION
provides otherwise, including, but not limited to, any
agreement pursuant to Paragraph 14.1 or 14.2, 3M and IMATION
shall jointly own all right, title and interest to Joint
Foreground PI, Joint Foreground Patents and any other
intellectual property, whether patented or not, conceived
jointly by one or more employees, agents or contract employees
of 3M and one or more employees, agents or contract employees
of IMATION, with each Party having an undivided, fifty (50)
percent interest therein.
9. LICENSE GRANT TO IMATION UNDER 3M FOREGROUND PI, 3M FOREGROUND PATENTS,
JOINT FOREGROUND PI AND JOINT FOREGROUND PATENTS
9.1. 3M hereby grants to IMATION paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide
licenses, including the right to manufacture, have
manufactured (subject to Paragraph 15.3), use, offer to sell,
sell and import, as follows:
9.1.1. a non-exclusive license, with a right to sublicense
IMATION Affiliates, and third parties to the extent
permitted by Article 11, under the 3M Foreground PI
and 3M Foreground Patents in the Non-Exclusive Fields
and IMATION Supply Fields; and
9.1.2. an exclusive license (subject to any licenses granted
by 3M prior to the Distribution Date to third parties
which are not 3M Affiliates), with a right to
sublicense IMATION Affiliates, and third parties to
the extent permitted by Article 11, under the 3M
Foreground PI and 3M Foreground Patents, and under
3M's interest in the Joint Foreground PI and Joint
Foreground Patents in the IMATION Exclusive Fields.
10. LICENSE GRANT TO 3M UNDER IMATION FOREGROUND PI, IMATION FOREGROUND
PATENTS, JOINT FOREGROUND PI AND JOINT FOREGROUND PATENTS
10.1. IMATION hereby grants to 3M paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide,
irrevocable licenses, including the right to manufacture, have
manufactured (subject to Paragraph 15.3), use, offer to sell,
sell and import, as follows:
10.1.1. a non-exclusive license, with a right to sublicense
3M Affiliates, and third parties to the extent
permitted by Article 11, under the IMATION Foreground
PI and IMATION Foreground Patents in the
Non-Exclusive Fields and 3M Supply Fields; and
10.1.2. an exclusive license, with the right to sublicense 3M
Affiliates, and third parties to the extent permitted
by Article 11, under IMATION Foreground PI and
IMATION Foreground Patents and under IMATION's
interest in Joint Foreground PI and Joint Foreground
Patents in the 3M Business Fields, but not in the 3M
Supply Fields within the 3M Business Fields.
11. SUBLICENSE OF RIGHTS
11.1. Except as may be provided otherwise under Paragraph 15.3,
Article 19 or elsewhere in this Agreement, a licensee under
Article 2, 3, 6, 7, 9 or 10 may sublicense its rights under
such Articles (except, in the case of Article 7, as expressly
limited or prohibited by Paragraph 7.1.2 and 7.1.3) to third
parties which are not Affiliates of the licensee only as
follows:
11.1.1. For a period of five (5) years after the Distribution
Date, a right non-exclusively licensed hereunder may
be sublicensed to a third party only: i) as an
ancillary part of the sale by the licensee to the
third party of the business to which the sublicense
pertains, ii) as an ancillary part of a broad
crosslicensing program; iii) as an ancillary part of
a business alliance relating to the development of a
product or service; or iv) in the case of software,
in the normal course of business in a manner
comparable to the sale of a non-software product.
11.1.2. For a period of five (5) years after the Distribution
Date, a right exclusively licensed hereunder may be
sublicensed to any third party.
11.1.3. After the five (5) year period after the Distribution
Date, rights whether non-exclusively or exclusively
licensed hereunder may be sublicensed to any third
party.
11.2. In any sublicense permitted under Paragraph 11.1.1 (i) of this
Article 11, the Party granting the sublicense shall obtain
from its sublicensee a paid-up, royalty-free, non-exclusive
license for the other Party under any and all claims in any
and all patents claiming inventions conceived by the
sublicensee during the Foreground Period and resulting from
the use of, or based upon technical Background PI and/or
Assigned PI. The fields of such license when such other Party
is 3M are the 3M Business Fields and Non-Exclusive Fields. The
fields of such license when such other Party is IMATION are
the IMATION Exclusive Fields, IMATION Supply Fields and
Non-Exclusive Fields.
11.3. The Party granting a sublicense to a third party under this
Article 11, or to an Affiliate under Article 2, 3, 4, 6, 7, 9
or 10, guarantees the performance of the sublicensee and
compliance of the sublicensee with all the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
12. PATENT FILING, PROSECUTION AND MAINTENANCE AND EXCHANGE OF FOREGROUND
PI
12.1. Patents Owned by a Single Party. Except as limited for Common
Interest Patents below, each Party shall have the exclusive
right to file, prosecute, issue and maintain all patent
applications and patents, throughout the world, owned by that
Party, and will bear all expense associated with their filing,
prosecution, issuance and maintenance.
12.2. Common Interest Patents. The Parties will cooperate in the
filing, prosecution and maintenance of each patent application
or patent owned by one Party but specifically identified by
the other Party as a Common Interest Patent, for so long as
that patent application or patent remains designated as a
Common Interest Patent. Ultimate prosecution control will
remain with the Party that owns the patent application or
patent, but that Party will provide the other Party with a
reasonable opportunity to comment upon the application and
prosecution strategy, and will in good faith consider such
comments. Filing, prosecution and maintenance expenses and
in-house and outside legal fees associated therewith will be
shared equally by the Parties for Common Interest Patents
except as the Parties may agree differently in a separate
writing between them.
12.3. Right to File on Joint Foreground Patents. If a joint
invention is clearly directed primarily to subject matter for
which only one Party has exclusive field of use rights
hereunder, that Party shall have the right in the first
instance to file, prosecute, issue and maintain throughout the
world Joint Foreground Patents directed to that invention. If
a joint invention is not clearly directed primarily to subject
matter for which only one Party has exclusive field of use
rights hereunder, then the Parties shall agree upon how to
file, prosecute, issue and maintain throughout the world Joint
Foreground Patents directed to that invention. The Parties
agree to cooperate fully with each other in filing,
prosecuting, issuing and maintaining such patent applications
and patents throughout the world and agree to equally share
all expenses and in-house and outside legal fees associated
therewith. The Parties will agree upon the extent of
interaction and review for each application on a case by case
basis.
12.4. Proposed Abandonment of Common Interest or Joint Patents. If a
Party which owns a Common Interest Patent or which has
initially filed a Joint Foreground Patent elects not to file,
continue to prosecute, issue or maintain the Common Interest
Patent or the Joint Foreground Patent, or not to file
equivalents in a particular country to the Common Interest
Patent or Joint Foreground Patent, that Party shall give the
other Party notice of such election promptly, and preferably
at least two (2) months prior to any date that action must be
taken to avoid abandonment or lapse. The other Party shall
have the right to take over at its sole expense the filing,
prosecution or maintenance of any such patent application or
patent or equivalent, except in the situation where the Party
electing not to proceed has done so so as to avoid disclosure
of a trade secret such as through publication of a patent
application which would disclose the trade secret. If the
other Party takes over the filing, prosecution or maintenance
of a Common Interest Patent, the electing Party shall assign
all of its rights in the patent application or patent to the
other Party, subject to the retention by the electing Party of
a non-exclusive license therein, which license is commensurate
in scope with the field of use rights the recipient thereof
has under this Agreement. The Party electing not to file,
prosecute or maintain a Common Interest Patent or a Joint
Foreground Patent shall provide reasonable assistance to the
other Party if the other Party files, prosecutes or maintains
such Common Interest Patent or Joint Foreground Patent and
shall execute and cause its employees, agents or consultants
to execute such documents as are reasonably necessary (i) to
vest ownership of such application or patent in the other
Party (as appropriate); and (ii) for the other Party to file,
continue prosecution or maintenance of such patent application
or patent. Any Party filing, prosecuting or maintaining such
patent application or patent after the other Party has elected
not to file, prosecute or maintain such patent application or
patent, shall have no liability to the other Party for that
Party's acts or failure to act with respect to such patent
application or patent, and may subsequently elect to
discontinue to prosecute or maintain such patent application
or patent.
12.5. Review of Proposed Patent Applications. The Parties recognize
that in the course of preparing or prosecuting a patent
application hereunder it may become apparent to a Party that
proprietary information owned by the other Party, or otherwise
of interest to the other Party such as in the case of an
Extraordinarily Sensitive Technology, would have to be
disclosed in the application or papers filed during
prosecution of the application, including, without limitation,
in an Information Disclosure Statement, for a resulting patent
to be legally valid and enforceable. Upon recognizing such a
situation, the first Party shall notify the second Party of
the potential need to disclose such information. The second
Party will then have thirty (30) days to object to such
disclosure with specificity of the concerns. If the second
Party does not so object, the first Party may disclose as
necessary to the relevant patent office. If the second Party
does so object, the Parties will attempt to make a reasonable
accommodation to allow disclosure of a sufficient amount of
the information to meet the minimum legal requirements. If no
such accommodation can be reached, such as in the case where
the proprietary information is a trade secret owned by the
second Party, the first Party will not disclose such
information. In the event the first Party must file a patent
application before the thirty (30) day notice period has
expired to avoid potential loss of patent rights in one or
more countries throughout the world, the first Party may do so
in confidence in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the
United Kingdom Patent Office only. If agreement to disclose
the information is not then forthcoming from the second Party,
the first Party shall take the necessary steps to prevent the
relevant application from being published.
12.6. Docketing. The Parties will establish mutually acceptable
docketing systems and other procedures to ensure compliance
with the various duties and obligations under this Article.
Such docketing systems and other procedures shall provide a
Party having a joint ownership interest in a patent
application or an interest in a Common Interest Patent with
sufficient information with respect to the status thereof to
ensure preservation of its interests therein to the extent
otherwise contemplated by this Article 12. For example, the
Party having a joint ownership interest in a patent
application or an interest in a Common Interest Patent shall
be permitted to take any action necessary to avoid an
unintentional or inadvertent abandonment by the other Party of
the jointly owned patent application or the Common Interest
Patent.
12.7. Exchange of Records of Invention. Each Party shall provide to
the other Party Records of Invention disclosing inventions
conceived during the Foreground Period and resulting from use
of, or based upon Background PI and/or Assigned PI promptly
after preparation thereof to permit the other Party to
determine whether it intends to identify any invention
disclosed therein as one to be claimed in a Common Interest
Patent, and to comply with the disclosure of proprietary
information contained in such Records of Invention as
contemplated in this Agreement.
12.8. Symposia Regarding Extraordinarily Sensitive Technologies. The
Parties shall meet for about four (4) hours every six (6)
months during the Foreground Period to disclose to the other
developments each Party has made relating to Extraordinarily
Sensitive Technologies.
13. ASSIGNMENT OF RIGHT AND OBLIGATIONS UNDER CERTAIN EXISTING AND FUTURE
AGREEMENTS
13.1. Assignment of Agreements of Interest Only to IMATION. Provided
the agreements so permit, 3M shall assign to IMATION its
rights and obligations in agreements with third parties which
are effective on the Distribution Date and concern
intellectual property relating only to IMATION Exclusive
Fields, excluding 3M Business Fields. IMATION hereby accepts
with all agreements so assigned any and all obligations
undertaken by 3M under such agreements. In the event an
agreement prohibits an assignment to IMATION, 3M shall use
reasonable efforts in cooperating with IMATION in an endeavor
to obtain approval of the third party to the agreement for an
assignment thereof to IMATION.
13.2. Agreements of Interest to Both 3M and IMATION. 3M shall use
reasonable efforts in cooperating with IMATION in an endeavor
to provide IMATION with rights and obligations under
agreements with third parties which are effective on the
Distribution Date and concern intellectual property relating
to IMATION Exclusive Fields and/or IMATION Supply Fields, as
well as other fields. IMATION hereby accepts, with the partial
assignment of rights under such agreements, such obligations
undertaken by 3M under such agreements which are commensurate
in scope with the rights provided to IMATION thereunder. The
rights and obligations endeavored to be provided to IMATION
are intended to be commensurate in scope with the intellectual
property rights received by IMATION under this Agreement.
13.3. Future Agreements. Each Party shall provide in all future
agreements with third parties provisions sufficient to carry
out its obligations under this Agreement.
14. TECHNICAL AND OTHER COOPERATION, NOTEBOOKS AND ACCESS TO DOCUMENTS
14.1. Existing and Future Joint Development Projects. Joint
development projects in progress on the Distribution Date
between a laboratory being transferred to IMATION on the
Distribution Date and a laboratory remaining with 3M on the
Distribution Date or projects to be initiated between the
Parties after the Distribution Date shall be made the subject
of a written joint development agreement to be negotiated
between the Parties. The Parties expect that the contents of
joint development agreements pursuant to this Paragraph 14.1
will typically be substantially of the form contained in
Exhibit N, but the Parties may agree otherwise.
14.2. Consulting Services. The Parties contemplate that they may
enter into agreements relating to provision by one Party to
the other of technical and other consulting services. The
Parties expect that the contents of such agreements pursuant
to this Paragraph 14.2 will typically be substantially of the
form contained in Exhibit O, but the Parties may agree
otherwise.
14.3. Notebooks. All notebooks existing on the Distribution Date and
in the possession of 3M businesses being transferred to
IMATION shall have been made current up to the Distribution
Date and shall be signed off before the Distribution Date. All
such notebooks shall be retained and owned by 3M. IMATION
shall have reasonable access to such notebooks to permit
IMATION to exercise the rights granted to it under this
Agreement.
14.4. Access to Other Documents, Data and Other Services. Each Party
will provide the other Party with reasonable access to
documents, data, information services and the like to the
extent generally contemplated by the rights granted to the
other Party under this Agreement. To the extent such data
already exists in electronic form, this access will include
providing relevant data to the other Party in electronic form,
in such format as the other Party may reasonably request.
Provision of information and other services may also be
contemplated in other written agreements between the parties.
15. CONFIDENTIALITY AND PARTIES AS THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARIES
15.1. Restrictions on Use and Disclosure of Business Confidential
Information. 3M and IMATION each shall not disclose to another
or use except for purposes of the Agreement any business
information which is IMATION Confidential Information or 3M
Confidential Information, respectively. The foregoing
restrictions shall expire with respect to IMATION Confidential
Information and 3M Confidential Information five (5) years
after the date of disclosure of such information, unless and
to the extent the Parties agree to a longer period for the
foregoing restrictions with respect to specific categories of
business information which is IMATION Confidential Information
and/or 3M Confidential Information, in which case the
foregoing restrictions shall expire with respect to such
information on the expiration of such longer period. The date
of disclosure in the case of business information which is
either 3M Confidential Information known by IMATION or IMATION
Confidential Information known by 3M on the Distribution Date
shall be considered to be the Distribution Date.
15.2. Restrictions on Use and Disclosure of Technical Confidential
Information. Except as provided otherwise elsewhere in this
Agreement or in a separate written agreement between 3M and
IMATION including, but not limited to, any agreement pursuant
to Paragraph 14.1 or 14.2, 3M and IMATION each shall not
disclose to another or use except for purposes of the
Agreement any technical information which is IMATION
Confidential Information or 3M Confidential Information,
respectively. The foregoing restrictions shall not expire
until such time and to the extent that such information ceases
to be IMATION Confidential Information or 3M Confidential
Information, as the case may be.
15.3. Confidential Information Relating to Extraordinarily Sensitive
Technologies. The Parties have agreed upon a list of
Extraordinarily Sensitive Technologies which involve
Confidential Information that is considered to be
extraordinarily sensitive. These technologies are identified
on a list which has been exchanged by the Parties. Certain of
the Extraordinarily Sensitive Technologies are primarily used
by one Party and of primary commercial importance to that
Party. Others are used substantially by both Parties and those
Extraordinarily Sensitive Technologies are of significant
commercial importance to both Parties. All of these
Extraordinarily Sensitive Technologies shall be subject to the
special treatment set forth in Exhibit P. Any Extraordinarily
Sensitive Technology which finds its primary commercial
importance in one Party will be treated under the restrictions
set forth in Exhibit P by the other Party as well as any
sublicensee of such other Party and any third party
manufacturing product under such other Party's "have
manufactured" rights or any other transferee of such other
Party. No sublicense or other transfer, whether for purposes
of exercising "have manufactured" rights or otherwise, of any
rights or use of the Extraordinarily Sensitive Technology
shall occur without the prior written approval of the Party
which is the primary commercial user of that Extraordinarily
Sensitive Technology. Any Extraordinarily Sensitive Technology
which finds substantial commercial importance in both Parties
shall not be sublicensed or otherwise transferred by either
Party without the prior written approval of the other Party.
Any such sublicense or other transfer of the Extraordinarily
Sensitive Technology shall be subject to the restrictions set
forth in Exhibit P.
15.4. Reasonable Efforts. Each Party shall protect Confidential
Information hereunder by using the same degree of care, but no
less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the
unauthorized disclosure of the other Party's Confidential
Information as the Party uses to protect its own confidential
information of a like nature, including the heightened degree
of care for Confidential Information which has been designated
as relating to an Extraordinarily Sensitive Technology by the
other Party pursuant to Paragraph 15.3.
15.5. Disclosure to Affiliates and Licensees; Binding Effect. Each
Party may disclose Confidential Information to third parties,
such as potential sublicensees, in the normal course of its
business and consistent with the rights expressly reserved by
and/or licensed to it under this Agreement and consistent with
any other restrictions on the disclosure of Confidential
Information in this Agreement including, but not limited to,
those contained in this Article 15. Each Party shall insure
that its Affiliates, sublicensees and other transferees agree
in writing to be bound by restrictions on use and disclosure
of Confidential Information at least as stringent as those
which bind the Party in advance of the disclosure of
Confidential Information to any Affiliate, sublicensee or
other transferee.
15.6. 3M as Third Party Beneficiary in Event Third Party Breaches
CDA With IMATION. 3M shall have the right to bring a lawsuit
for injunction and/or other remedy directly against any third
party which is violating restrictions on use or disclosure of
3M Confidential Information which was disclosed to the third
party under a confidentiality agreement between that third
party and IMATION. IMATION shall cooperate in all reasonable
respects with 3M in any such litigation.
15.7. IMATION as Third Party Beneficiary in Event Third Party
Breaches CDA With 3M. IMATION shall have the right to bring a
lawsuit for injunction and/or other remedy directly against
any third party which is violating restrictions on use or
disclosure of IMATION Confidential Information which was
disclosed to the third party under a confidentiality agreement
between that third party with 3M. 3M shall cooperate in all
reasonable respects with IMATION in any such litigation.
16. EMPLOYEE AGREEMENTS
16.1. IMATION Employee Agreements. IMATION shall determine the
individual IMATION Employees, or classes of IMATION Employees,
who must execute an IMATION Employee Agreement as a condition
of employment with IMATION. The IMATION Employee Agreement
shall contain terms and conditions which are consistent with
and effectuate the terms of this Agreement. The portions of
the initial version of the IMATION Employee Agreement relating
to rights under this Agreement shall be in a form which is
acceptable to 3M prior to its use.
16.2. Survival of 3M Employee Agreement Obligations and 3M's Common
Law Rights. The 3M Employee Agreements of all Former 3M
Employees shall remain in full force and effect according to
their terms; provided, however, that 3M shall not consider any
of the following acts committed by Former 3M Employees within
the scope of their IMATION employment to constitute a breach
of such 3M Employee Agreements: (i) the use or disclosure of
Confidential Information (as that term is defined in the
Former 3M Employee's 3M Employee Agreement) for or on behalf
of IMATION, if such use or disclosure is consistent with the
license rights granted to IMATION under this Agreement, (ii)
the disclosure and assignment to IMATION of rights in
Inventions authored or conceived by the Former 3M Employee
after the Distribution Date of this Agreement and resulting
from the use of, or based upon Background PI and/or Assigned
PI (as Inventions are defined in the Former 3M Employee's 3M
Employee Agreement) and (iii) the rendering of any services,
directly or indirectly, to IMATION to the extent such services
are consistent with the assignment or license of rights
granted to IMATION under this Agreement. IMATION shall remind
all Former 3M Employees transferred to or hired by IMATION
during the period beginning with the Distribution Date and
ending five (5) years thereafter of their obligations under
the 3M Employee Agreement. Further, 3M retains any rights it
has under statute or common law vis-a-vis actions by its
former employees who did not execute 3M Employee Agreements to
the extent such actions are inconsistent with the rights
granted to IMATION under this Agreement.
16.3. Assignment, Cooperation for Compliance and Enforcement.
16.3.1. 3M retains all rights under the 3M Employee
Agreements of all Former 3M Employees necessary to
permit 3M to protect the rights and interests of
continuing 3M businesses, but hereby transfers and
assigns to IMATION its rights under the 3M Employee
Agreements of all Former 3M Employees to the extent
required to permit IMATION to enjoin, restrain,
recover damages from or obtain specific performance
of the 3M Employee Agreements or obtain other
remedies against any employee who breaches his/her 3M
Employee Agreement, to the extent necessary to permit
IMATION to protect the rights and interests of the 3M
businesses being transferred to IMATION on the
Distribution Date. IMATION agrees to perform the
obligations of 3M under the 3M Employee Agreements of
Former 3M Employees necessary to enable IMATION to
enforce said agreement including, without limitation,
the obligation to compensate any Former 3M Employee
who is unable to obtain employment consistent with
his/her abilities and education solely as a
consequence of the covenant not to compete contained
in the 3M Employee Agreement. IMATION acknowledges
that 3M background proprietary information which is
not Background PI or Assigned PI is not licensed or
assigned to IMATION under this Agreement.
Consequently, IMATION shall assist 3M in obtaining
the entire right, title and interest to intellectual
property (whether patented or not) resulting from
activities constituting a breach of the 3M Employee
Agreement by an employee who was in IMATION's employ
at the time of the breach, such assistance including,
but not being limited to, assigning to 3M any patent
or patent application claiming inventions resulting
from breach of a 3M Employee Agreement and
inadvertently filed by IMATION.
16.3.2. 3M and IMATION agree, at their own respective cost
and expense, to use their reasonable efforts to
cooperate as follows: (i) IMATION shall advise 3M of:
(a) any possible violation(s) of the 3M Employee
Agreement by Former 3M Employees, and (b) any
possible violation(s) of the IMATION Employee
Agreement which affect 3M's rights under this
Agreement; (ii) 3M shall advise IMATION of any
possible violations of the 3M Employee Agreement by
current or former 3M Employees which affect IMATION's
rights under this Agreement; and (iii) each Party
shall advise the other of the identity of the
subsequent employer of each such employee leaving the
employ of IMATION or 3M, as the case may be, during a
period of five (5) years after the Distribution Date,
to the extent known and necessary to permit the other
Party to protect its rights and interests under that
former employee's Employee Agreement.
16.3.3. 3M and IMATION each may separately enforce the 3M
Employee Agreements of Former 3M Employees to the
extent necessary to reasonably protect their
respective interests, provided, however, that IMATION
shall not commence any litigation relating thereto
without first consulting with 3M's Chief Intellectual
Property Counsel. If either Party, in seeking to
enforce any 3M Employee Agreement, notifies the other
party that it requires, or desires, the other Party
to join in such action, then the other Party shall do
so. In addition, if either Party commences or becomes
a party to any action to enforce a 3M Employee
Agreement of a Former 3M Employee, the other Party
shall, whether or not it becomes a party to the
action, cooperate with the other Party by making
available its files and employees who have
information or knowledge relevant to the dispute,
subject to appropriate measures to protect the
confidentiality of any proprietary or confidential
information that may be disclosed in the course of
such cooperation or action.
16.3.4. 3M and IMATION understand and acknowledge that
matters relating to the making, performance,
enforcement, assignment and termination of employee
agreements are typically governed by the laws and
regulations of the national, federal, state or local
governmental unit where an employee resides, or where
an employee's services are rendered, and that such
laws and regulations may supersede or limit the
applicability or enforceability of Paragraphs 16.1 to
16.3. In such circumstances, 3M and IMATION agree to
take action with respect to the employee agreements
that best accomplishes the Parties' objectives as set
forth in Paragraphs 16.1 to 16.3 and which is
consistent with applicable law.
17. ENFORCEMENT OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS
17.1. Enforcement of Solely Owned IP. Except as provided in
Paragraph 17.2, each Party shall have the exclusive right to
enforce any intellectual property rights owned solely by it,
and any decision on the institution or continuation of any
litigation thereunder shall be that Party's. The expenses
associated with such enforcement shall be borne by such Party
and any damage award shall be retained by such Party, unless
the Parties agree otherwise. To the extent the intellectual
property rights to be enforced under this Paragraph 17.1 were
assigned by 3M to IMATION under this Agreement, IMATION shall
provide reasonable notice to 3M prior to instituting such a
lawsuit, and shall advise 3M periodically during the course of
the lawsuit of any developments in the litigation, to
facilitate a determination that the lawsuit can be initiated
and continued without providing significant legal exposure to
3M which cannot be totally compensated for by the
indemnification contemplated in Paragraph 17.3.
17.2. Enforcement By Party Having Exclusive License. A Party which
has received under this Agreement an exclusive license under
any intellectual property that is owned by the other Party may
institute a lawsuit against a third party for patent
infringement of such claim or continue a lawsuit initially
brought by the Party owning the intellectual property,
provided that:
17.2.1. the Party owning the patent has elected not to
institute a lawsuit under Paragraph 17.1 within sixty
(60) days of a request to do so by the exclusively
licensed Party (or within a reasonable, shorter
period of time in the event the exclusively licensed
Party is reasonably concerned about the likelihood of
a declaratory judgment being filed by a third party
in respect to the patent, will be seeking a
preliminary injunction against the third party or
otherwise may have its interests significantly
injured if immediate action is not taken), or having
instituted such a lawsuit, the Party owning the
patent subsequently determines that it wishes to
terminate the lawsuit, by settlement or otherwise;
17.2.2. the patent does not cover an invention of overriding
potential commercial importance or value or actual
commercial importance or value to the Party owning
the patent; and
17.2.3. such a lawsuit can be instituted or continued without
providing significant legal exposure to the owner of
the patent which cannot be totally compensated for by
the indemnification contemplated in Paragraph 17.3.
The Party owning such patent shall join in any such litigation
if necessary for the exclusive licensee to bring or maintain
the lawsuit. All expenses associated with such litigation
shall be borne by the exclusive licensee, including the
expenses incurred by the Party owning the patent if it is
required to join in such litigation, except for expenses
associated with the owner's independent representation by
counsel, and all recovery from such litigation shall accrue to
the exclusively licensed Party. The exclusive licensee shall
not initiate any activity vis-a-vis any third party which
could provide a basis for a declaratory judgment action
brought by that third party against the patent owner unless
the exclusive licensee has first obtained the right to bring a
lawsuit under this Paragraph 17.2.
17.3. Indemnification. The Party owning intellectual property which
is being enforced pursuant to Paragraph 17.1 shall indemnify
the other Party and hold such other Party harmless in respect
to any damages or other costs of any type, reasonably related
to the intellectual property rights being enforced under
Paragraph 17.1 (but not related to any counterclaim for
infringement against such other Party), payable to third
parties as a result of litigation pursuant to Paragraph 17.1.
The exclusively licensed Party which is enforcing intellectual
property pursuant to Paragraph 17.2 shall indemnify the Party
owning the patent and hold such Party harmless in respect to
any damages or other costs of any type, reasonably related to
the intellectual property rights being enforced under
Paragraph 17.2 (but not related to any counterclaim for
infringement against the Party owning the patent), payable to
third parties as a result of litigation pursuant to Paragraph
17.2.
17.4. Enforcement of Joint Patents Outside Exclusive Field. The
Parties shall cooperate in enforcing Joint Foreground Patents
in the Non-Exclusive Fields or other fields outside of 3M
Business Fields, IMATION Exclusive Fields and IMATION Supply
Fields and shall share in all expenses associated therewith
and in any damage award received as a result thereof. However,
either Party may elect not to participate or continue to
participate in any such litigation. The Party so electing
shall not share in the expenses incurred in such litigation
after such election, and shall not share in any damage award
received as a result. Further, the Party electing not to
participate or continue to participate shall be indemnified
and held harmless by the other Party in respect to any damages
or other costs of any type payable to third parties as a
result of such litigation. Notwithstanding anything expressed
or implied to the contrary, in the event the patent contains a
claim of overriding potential or actual commercial importance
or value to a Party, the other Party may not institute an
action hereunder without the first Party's written consent.
17.5. Enforcement of Joint Patents in Exclusive Field. For Joint
Patents under which one Party has granted the other an
exclusive license, the licensed Party may bring suit in its
exclusive fields under Paragraph 17.1 as if the patent were
solely owned by that Party. The Party electing to file such a
suit shall indemnify and hold harmless the other Party in
respect to any damages or other costs of any type, reasonably
related to the intellectual property rights being enforced
under this Paragraph 17.5 (but not related to any counterclaim
for infringement against such other Party), payable to third
parties as a result of such litigation. Notwithstanding
anything expressed or implied to the contrary, in the event
the patent contains a claim of overriding potential or actual
commercial importance or value to a Party, the other Party may
not institute an action hereunder without the first Party's
written consent.
17.6. "Overriding" Interest. In evaluating whether a Party's
interests in a patent under this Article are "overriding," the
Parties shall consider the materiality of the patent to the
particular business to which it relates in both Parties, and
the relative significance of the patent and the litigation to
those businesses.
17.7. Enforcement of Rights Relating to Proprietary Information.
Enforcement of proprietary information rights licensed under
this Agreement shall be handled in a fashion consistent with
enforcement of patent rights hereunder.
18. SPECIAL PROVISIONS REGARDING CERTAIN FIELD
18.1. "Aurora". IMATION's exploitation of the technology described
in Paragraph IV of Exhibit D hereto shall be subject to the
following conditions:
18.1.1. IMATION shall i) keep 3M advised of IMATION's
endeavors to select partners to develop and
commercialize such technology; ii) consider in good
faith partners proposed by 3M to be involved in
development and/or commercialization; iii) provide 3M
a first right to negotiate with IMATION for rights to
supply soft goods such as toner to IMATION; iv)
provide 3M a first right to negotiate with IMATION
for rights to use the technology in overhead
transparency applications; and v) provide 3M a first
right to negotiate with IMATION and its partners for
rights to adapt and use the technology in signage
applications, label applications, and textile
printing applications and to supply soft goods such
as toner to IMATION and its partners for such
applications; and
18.1.2. IMATION shall not itself exploit or partner with or
license any third party to exploit such technology
specifically for generating graphics on products
comprising retroreflective substrates.
19. NON-COMPETE
19.1. For a period of five (5) years after the Distribution Date,
except for i) an ancillary activity involving an insubstantial
business, ii) resale of products or services purchased from
IMATION, or iii) making and using magneto-optical and optical
media for use with such Blue-Green Diode Lasers which embody
intellectual property owned by 3M, 3M and its Affiliates shall
not intentionally engage directly or indirectly in the sale of
products or services which compete with products or services
within the IMATION Exclusive Fields or IMATION Supply Fields.
A non-limiting example of activity which constitutes "engaging
indirectly" under this Paragraph 19.1 is 3M or a 3M Affiliate
working with a third party in focused joint promotion of a 3M
product with a product of the third party which competes with
a product in the IMATION Exclusive fields. This Paragraph 19.1
shall not preclude 3M and 3M Affiliates from indirect activity
involving continued selling of products or services sold on
the Distribution Date by businesses remaining with 3M (and to
exploit the normal progression of such products and services
using similar standards as employed by 3M before the
Distribution Date) to customers involved in the IMATION
Exclusive Field.
19.2. For a period of five (5) years after the Distribution Date,
except for i) an ancillary activity involving an insubstantial
business, ii) resale of products or services purchased from
3M, or iii) making and using Blue-Green Diode Lasers
independently of intellectual property owned by 3M, IMATION
and IMATION Affiliates shall not engage directly or indirectly
in the sale of products or services which compete with
products or services in the 3M Business Fields (defined as in
Paragraph 1.5. ii)). A non-limiting example of activity which
constitutes "engaging indirectly" under this Paragraph 19.2 is
IMATION or an IMATION Affiliate working with a third party in
focused joint promotion of an IMATION product with a product
of the third party which competes with a product in 3M
Business Fields (as defined in Paragraph 1.5. ii)). This
Paragraph 19.2 shall not preclude IMATION and IMATION
Affiliates from indirect activity, outside of the 3M Reserved
Fields, involving working with a third party on that party's
image and electronic information processing (i.e., capture,
movement, storage, access, retrieval, conversion, organization
and output of information) needs, internal or external, as
long as the activity does not benefit, in more than in an
ancillary way, a product or service of the third party which
competes with a product or service in the 3M Business Fields
(as defined in Paragraph 1.5. ii)) outside of the 3M Reserved
Fields. Further, this Paragraph 19.2 shall not preclude
IMATION and IMATION Affiliates from indirect activity
involving continued selling of products or services sold on
the Distribution Date by businesses being transferred to
IMATION (and to exploit the normal progression of such
products and services using similar standards employed by 3M
before the Distribution Date) to customers involved in the 3M
Business Fields (as defined in Paragraph 1.5. ii)).
20. INDEMNIFICATION
20.1. By 3M. 3M shall indemnify and hold IMATION and its Affiliates
harmless from any and all loss or liability, evolving out of
the relationship established by this Agreement, for any and
all claims, causes of action, suits, proceedings, losses,
damages, demands, fees, expenses, fines, penalties and costs
(including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees,
costs and disbursements) arising from any injury or alleged
injury to any third person or business for property damage,
personal injury or incidental, special or consequential
damages caused by any products made or processes performed by
3M, an Affiliate thereof, or a licensee or sublicensee of
either other than IMATION or an Affiliate thereof.
20.2. By IMATION. IMATION shall indemnify and hold 3M and its
Affiliates harmless from any and all loss or liability,
evolving out of the relationship established by this
Agreement, for any and all claims, causes of action, suits,
proceedings, losses, damages, demands, fees, expenses, fines,
penalties and costs (including without limitation reasonable
attorney's fees, costs and disbursements) arising from any
injury or alleged injury to any third person or business for
property damage, personal injury or incidental, special or
consequential damages caused by any products made or processes
performed by IMATION, an Affiliate thereof, or a licensee or
sublicensee of either other than 3M or an Affiliate thereof.
20.3. Claims. A Party (the "indemnitee") which intends to claim
indemnification under this Article 20 shall promptly notify
the other Party ("the indemnitor") in writing of any action,
claim or liability in respect of which the indemnitee or any
of its employees or agents intend to claim such
indemnification. The indemnitee shall permit, and shall cause
its employees and agents to permit, the indemnitor to settle
any such action, claim or liability and agrees to the control
of such defense or settlement by the indemnitor; provided,
however, that such settlement does not adversely affect the
indemnitee's rights hereunder or impose any obligations on the
indemnitee in addition to those set forth herein. No such
action, claim or liability shall be settled without the prior
written consent of the indemnitor to the extent the indemnitor
has responsibility or liability for any portion of such
settlement, and the indemnitor shall not be responsible for
any attorneys' fees or other costs incurred other than as
provided herein. The indemnitee, its employees and agents,
shall cooperate fully with the indemnitor and its legal
representatives in the investigation and defense of any
action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification.
The indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to be represented by counsel of its own selection and at its
own expense.
20.4. Insurance. Each Party shall maintain commercial general
liability insurance, including products liability and
contractual liability coverage, in an amount and for a time
period which will cover the liability assumed by that Party
under this Agreement, provided that each Party shall have the
right to be self-insured for at least a portion of such
amount. Each Party shall provide the other upon request with a
certificate of insurance evidencing the existence of these
coverages.
21. DISCLAIMERS
21.1. Limitation of Liabilities. NEITHER 3M NOR IMATION SHALL UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE OR BUSINESS)
RESULTING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEPT
TO THE EXTENT SUCH DAMAGES ARE PAYABLE TO A THIRD PARTY AND
ARE INDEMNIFIED BY A PARTY PURSUANT TO ARTICLE 17 OR 20. This
limitation applies regardless of whether such damages are
sought based on breach of contract, negligence or any other
legal theory.
21.2. No Warranty of Non-Infringement. In entering into this
Agreement, neither Party is representing to the other that any
right licensed or assigned hereunder to the other Party can be
practiced or otherwise exploited without infringement of
patent, trade secret, trademark, copyright or other
intellectual property rights of third parties.
21.3. "As-is" Basis of Licenses and Assignments. Each Party
recognizes that any license or assignment of intellectual
property received under this Agreement is on an "as-is" basis
with no representations or warranties whatsoever as to the
validity or scope of the intellectual property rights so
licensed or assigned.
22. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
22.1. Either Party may invoke the dispute resolution process of this
Article upon notice to the other Party that it believes a
dispute has arisen between the Parties relating to the making
or performance of this Agreement, including, but not limited
to, any act or failure to act by said other Party which the
Party providing notice believes constitutes a material breach
hereof. Any such dispute shall be resolved in the following
order of preference:
22.1.1. by good faith negotiation between executives of 3M
and IMATION who have authority to fully and finally
resolve the dispute;
22.1.2. if necessary, by non-binding mediation at a location
acceptable to both Parties using a neutral mediator
having experience with the industry under the Center
for Public Resources Model Procedure for Mediation of
Business Disputes (with the costs therefor shared
equally); or
22.1.3. as a last resort only, by binding arbitration of
disputes concerning inventorship or involving a risk
that a trade secret could be disclosed publicly or
otherwise compromised if litigated, or by litigation
of any other disputes, including disputes pertaining
to Article 25.
22.2. In the case of negotiation or mediation under Paragraph 22.1.1
or 22.1.2, the following executives (as well as such other
persons as they may deem appropriate) will be personally
involved in such negotiations or mediation depending upon the
subject matter of the dispute:
22.2.1. For disputes relating to intellectual property
(including, without limitation, inventorship, scope
of license, scope of fields, enforcement) other than
trademarks or trade dress, each Party's respective
Vice President of Research and Chief Intellectual
Property Counsel, or designates of any of them.
22.2.2. For disputes relating to trademarks or trade dress,
each Party's respective Vice President of Marketing
and Chief Intellectual Property Counsel, or
designates of any of them.
22.2.3. For disputes in respect to non-competition issues,
each Party's respective Chief Executive Officer,
General Counsel and Chief Intellectual Property
Counsel, or designates of any of them.
22.3. Treatment of Negotiations and Mediations. All negotiations and
mediations pursuant to this Article shall be treated as
compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule
408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state
rules of evidence.
22.4. Disputes Subject to Binding Arbitration. Disputes regarding
inventorship (the process for which is further detailed in
Paragraph 22.6) and disputes which involve a risk that a trade
secret could be disclosed publicly or otherwise compromised if
litigated shall be subject to binding arbitration. If
litigation is initiated relative to a dispute, and subsequent
to such initiation it is realized by a Party that there is a
risk of public disclosure or other compromise of a trade
secret if the litigation continued, that Party may request
that the litigation be terminated and that the dispute be sent
to arbitration. If there is a disagreement between the Parties
as to whether the dispute should be sent to arbitration, the
court where the litigation is pending shall be asked to take
evidence in camera and decide if the dispute should be sent to
arbitration under this provision. The Party asserting that a
trade secret could be disclosed publicly or could otherwise be
compromised in resolving the dispute shall bear the burden of
proof by a preponderance of the evidence.
22.5. Arbitration Procedures. If the Parties are unable to resolve
any dispute that is subject to arbitration under this Article
22 by negotiation or mediation under Paragraphs 22.1.1 and
22.2.2, they agree to submit such dispute to binding
arbitration under the Center for Public Resources Rules for
Non-Administered Arbitration of Patent and Trade Secret
Disputes. The Parties agree to employment of a single
arbitrator in resolving any such dispute. The Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence shall be
applicable except where they may conflict with the more
explicit process for resolving inventorship disputes set forth
in Paragraph 22.6. Any arbitration proceeding shall be
concluded in a maximum of one (1) year from written notice
from one Party to the other Party identifying a dispute
subject to arbitration under this Paragraph 22.5 and
requesting arbitration after having participated in
negotiation under Paragraph 22.1.1 and mediation under
Paragraph 22.1.2.
22.6. Disputes Regarding Inventorship. In addition to the procedure
set forth in Paragraph 22.5, the following shall apply to
arbitration of disputes regarding inventorship. The arbitrator
shall be an independent patent attorney residing in the United
States and registered to practice before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office. The arbitrator shall resolve the
inventorship dispute in accordance with the laws of the United
States within three (3) months of his or her appointment. The
Parties agree to supply to the arbitrator such documentary
evidence of inventorship as they wish to rely upon together
with a written statement of their position not to exceed
twenty (20) pages in length within twenty (20) days of the
appointment of the arbitrator. Unless the Parties agree to
rely on affidavits, the arbitrator shall set a hearing at
which each Party shall have up to eight (8) hours to present
witnesses and to cross examine the witnesses for the other
Party. If there is a hearing, each Party shall provide a
statement summarizing the anticipated testimony of each
witness it may have testify to the other Party and the
arbitrator at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the
hearing. The arbitrator's award shall be in writing not to
exceed twenty (20) pages in length and shall include reasoning
in support of the award. The resolution of the arbitrator
shall be final and binding on the Parties, without right of
appeal.
22.7. Confidentiality. All negotiation, mediation and arbitration
proceedings under this Article shall be treated as
Confidential Information in accordance with the provisions of
Article 15. Any mediator or arbitrator shall be bound by an
agreement containing confidentiality provisions at least as
restrictive as those contained in Article 15.
22.8. Equitable Relief. Nothing herein shall preclude either Party
from taking whatever actions are necessary to prevent any
immediate, irreparable harm to its interests, including
multiple breaches of this Agreement by the other Party.
Otherwise, these procedures are exclusive and shall be fully
exhausted prior to the initiation of any litigation. Either
Party may seek specific enforcement of any arbitrator's
decision under this Article. The other Party's only defense to
such a request for specific enforcement shall be fraud by or
on the arbitrator.
22.9. Governing Law; Personal Jurisdiction. Any questions, claims,
disputes, remedies or procedural matters shall be governed
exclusively by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without
regard to the principles of conflicts of law. The Parties
agree that Minnesota has a substantial relationship to this
transaction, and each Party consents to personal jurisdiction
in the courts of Minnesota.
23. AMENDMENT
23.1. Written Amendment. This Agreement, including any Exhibits
hereof, may not be modified, amended or discharged except as
expressly stated in this Agreement or by a written agreement
signed by an authorized representative of each Party.
23.2. Proposed Amendments. With a transaction of this magnitude, it
is anticipated by both Parties that amendments may need to be
made to this Agreement. Any proposed amendment to this
Agreement, including any Exhibit hereof, relating to
intellectual property other than trademarks or trade dress
shall be negotiated by each Party's respective Vice President
of Research and Development and Chief Intellectual Property
Counsel, or by designates of any of them. Any proposed
amendment relating to trademarks or trade dress shall be
negotiated by each Party's respective Vice President of
Marketing and Chief Intellectual Property Counsel, or by
designates of any of them. Any proposed amendment relating to
non-competition issues shall be negotiated by each Party's
respective Chief Executive Officer, General Counsel and Chief
Intellectual Property Counsel, or by designates of any of
them.
24. TERM AND TERMINATION
24.1. Expiration. This Agreement shall expire upon expiration of the
last right licensed or retained hereunder.
24.2. Termination. While this Agreement may not be terminated in
whole by either Party, a Party may terminate license and other
rights granted to the other Party as follows:
24.2.1. 3M may terminate all license and other rights granted
to IMATION under this Agreement as provided in
Article 25;
24.2.2. 3M may terminate license rights granted to IMATION
under the Licensed Trademarks and Licensed Trade
Dresses under Article 4 as provided in Article 4; or
24.2.3. subject to applicable bankruptcy laws, a Party may
terminate all license and other rights granted to the
other Party under this Agreement upon written notice
to such other Party if such other Party becomes
insolvent or acknowledges its insolvency in any
manner, or if a receiver or receiver-manager is
appointed in respect of such other Party's business,
or if a petition in bankruptcy is instituted by or
against such other Party, or if such other Party
makes a general assignment for the benefit of its
creditors.
24.3. Reassignment. Any rights assigned to IMATION under Articles 3
and 5 shall be promptly reassigned to 3M upon any termination
by 3M under Paragraphs 24.2.1 or 24.2.3.
25. CHANGE IN CONTROL OR OWNERSHIP OF IMATION
25.1. For five (5) years after the Distribution Date, 3M shall have
the right to terminate a portion or all of IMATION's rights
under this Agreement in the event that the direct or
beneficial ownership of IMATION or of IMATION's business or
assets changes, in whole or in part, through merger or
otherwise, such that because of the ownership change a person
or a group can significantly impact, or control directly or
indirectly, the business of IMATION or the direction of
IMATION's business. This right to terminate by 3M shall not be
exercised except for good cause due to the reasonable
likelihood that the change in ownership will result in
substantially enhanced competition to a significant existing
3M business or an anticipated business involving significant
development activities by or on behalf of 3M at the
Distribution Date and the extent of the rights terminated
shall be commensurate in scope with the enhanced competition
reasonably likely to result but for the termination of the
rights, provided that 3M shall further have the right to
terminate all licenses granted under Article 4 of this
Agreement. The effective date of any such termination by 3M of
rights granted to IMATION under this Agreement shall be
considered to be the effective date of notice pursuant to
Paragraph 26.1 of 3M's decision to terminate such rights.
26. MISCELLANEOUS

assignment without such consent shall be void; provided,
however, that 3M may assign this Agreement without such
consent in connection with the sale of substantially all of
its business to which this Agreement relates. Any permitted
assignee shall assume all obligations of 3M under this
Agreement. No assignment shall relieve 3M of responsibility
for the performance of any accrued obligation which 3M then

In the implementation of the IMATION name on stationary and business cards, the

On packages where the phrase "Borne of 3M Innovation" appears, the 3M logo shall
be used in the phrase when the size of the logo is large enough so that the logo
is not distorted. The color red will also be used unless the background color is
such that it clashes with the 3M red. In those cases, the "3M" shall be either
white or black. When the size of the type is too small, the "3M" shall appear in
the same font as the word "Innovation," and its use shall be subject to the same
color restrictions previously stated.

6.3. IMATION Option. 3M grants to IMATION an exclusive option to
acquire a worldwide license, with the right to grant
sublicenses, in the IMATION Field of License under the
6.3.1. Sponsored Rights that 3M owns solely or jointly with
IMATION, with respect to which IMATION's license
shall be exclusive or nonexclusive at IMATION's
option; and
6.3.2. to the extent necessary to practice the license
granted in Paragraph 6.3.1, the Background Rights
which 3M owns solely and may legally grant rights to
IMATION, with respect to which IMATION's license
shall be non-exclusive.
6.4. Exercise of Option. The options granted under this Article 6
of this Agreement are exercisable at any time during the term
of this Agreement by the Party to whom the option has been
granted notifying the other Party in writing of its election
to obtain a license. Promptly upon transmission of such
notice, the Parties shall commence negotiations for such
license. The Parties shall negotiate in good faith and with
reasonable dispatch to reach agreement with respect to the
licensing terms.
6.5. Licensing Terms. The terms of the license may or may not
include a royalty based on the commercial sale of products by
the licensee, its Affiliates, permitted assigns or
sublicensees. Any royalty rate shall be commercially
reasonable, taking into account the scope of the licensee
rights, i.e., the scope of the 3M or IMATION Field, whichever
is applicable and the amount of development costs borne by the
Parties to develop the licensed right. The royalty rate for an
exclusive license shall be no greater than five percent (5%)
of the net sales price for products covered by the licensed
Sponsored Rights and/or Background Rights. The royalty rate
for a nonexclusive license will be no greater than three
percent (3%) of the net sales price of products covered by the
licensed Sponsored Rights and/or Background Rights. A Party's
obligations to pay royalties with respect to sales of a
particular product will not extend beyond four (4) years from
the date of first sale of such product, unless there exists an
issued, unexpired patent in Sponsored Rights and/or Background
Rights which is licensed hereunder and contains a valid claim
claiming such product or the manufacture or use of such
product in the country where such product is made or sold.
6.6. Supply. Alternatively, or in addition to any royalty
contemplated by Paragraph 6.5, the terms of the license may
include an obligation upon the licensee to purchase goods or
services from the licensor. In such event, the licensee agrees
to purchase products from the licensor pursuant to a
manufacturing and supply agreement to be negotiated in good
faith between the Parties. Such a manufacturing and supply
agreement shall at least include the provisions contained in
the Addendum. The rights and obligations of the Parties
concerning such a manufacturing and supply agreement shall be
contingent on the negotiation and execution thereof.
6.7. Licensing Negotiations. Licensing negotiations shall be
concluded within ninety (90) days unless an extension of the
negotiation period is agreed to by the Parties. In the event
that the Parties cannot in good faith reach agreement within
such ninety (90) day period, or any mutually agreed to
extension thereof, commercially reasonable terms for such
license shall be set by the appointed arbitrator, in
accordance with Article 12 of this Agreement.
6.8. Scope of Licenses. The licensing options granted in accordance
with this Article 6 of this Agreement shall be for licenses
having sufficient scope to enable
6.8.1. a Party to make, have made for it, use, offer to
sell, sell, import, lease and otherwise transfer
products in the 3M Field of License or IMATION Field
of License, as the case may be, and embodying
Sponsored Rights and Background Rights pursuant to
Paragraph 6.2 or 6.3, as the case may be, subject to
any restrictions imposed upon the Party in respect to
3M Supply Fields or IMATION Supply fields, as the
case may be, under the Intellectual Property Rights
Agreement; and
6.8.2. a Party, and purchasers of products from that Party,
to practice and have practiced for it processes in
the 3M Field of License or IMATION Field of License,
as the case may be, and embodying the Sponsored
Rights and Background Rights pursuant to Paragraph
6.2 or 6.3, as the case may be.
7. PATENT FILING AND PROSECUTION
7.1. Disclosure of Sponsored Rights. 3M and IMATION shall fully
disclose to each other in writing all Sponsored Rights
promptly after such Sponsored Rights are brought to the
attention of the Party's personnel responsible for patent
matters.
7.2. Right to File on Party's Patent Rights. Each Party shall have
the exclusive right at that Party's expense to file,
prosecute, issue, maintain, license (to the extent not
inconsistent with this Agreement) and defend all patent
applications and patents, throughout the world, containing
solely that Party's Patent Rights.
7.3. Right to File on Joint Patent Rights. The Parties shall have
the right in the first instance to jointly file, prosecute,
issue, maintain, license (to the extent not inconsistent with
this Agreement) and defend patent applications and patents,
throughout the world, containing (1) both 3M Patent Rights and
IMATION Patent Rights and/or (2) Joint Patent Rights. If the
Parties elect to exercise such right, they agree to cooperate
fully with each other in filing, prosecuting, issuing,
maintaining, licensing and defending such patent applications
and patents throughout the world and agree to equally share
all expenses and in-house and outside legal fees associated
therewith.
7.4. Abandonment or Lapse. If a Party who has the right in the
first instance to jointly or solely file, prosecute, issue,
and maintain a patent application or patent claiming that
Party's Patent Rights or Joint Patent Rights, in accordance
with Paragraph 7.2 or 7.3, elects not to file such a patent
application or elects to allow any such patent application or
patent to become abandoned or lapse, that Party shall give the
other Party notice of such election promptly and at least two
(2) months prior to the first date that action must be taken
to avoid such abandonment or lapse. The other Party shall have
the right to take over at its sole expense the filing,
prosecution or maintenance of any such patent application or
patent. If such other Party elects to take over the filing,
prosecution or maintenance of such patent application or
patent, the non-electing Party shall assign all of its rights
in such application or patent to the electing Party, subject
to the retention by the non-electing Party of any licenses
granted in accordance with Article 6 of this Agreement. Any
Party not electing to file, prosecute or maintain any such
patent application or patent shall provide assistance to the
other Party if the other Party elects to file, prosecute or
maintain such patent application or patent and shall execute
and cause its employees, agents or consultants to execute such
documents as are necessary (1) to vest ownership of such
application or patent in the other Party; and (2) for the
other Party to file, continue prosecution or maintenance of,
or enforce such patent application or patent. Any Party
electing to file, prosecute or maintain such patent
application or patent after the other Party has elected not to
file, prosecute or maintain such patent application or patent,
shall have no liability to the other non-electing Party for
that Party's acts or failure to act with respect to such
patent application or patent.
7.5. Notification before Patent Filing. Thirty (30) days prior to
either Party filing any patent application during or after the
term of this Agreement claiming any Sponsored Rights, the
Party desiring to file such an application shall provide the
other Party with a copy of the proposed application. The Party
receiving the copy of the proposed application shall then have
thirty (30) days to notify the Party desiring to file as to
whether it believes that any of its Confidential Information
is disclosed. If the application contains any such
Confidential Information, then the Party desiring to file
shall either
1. delete such Confidential Information from the
application prior to filing, or
2. where disclosure of such Confidential Information
in the patent application or related documents is
necessary to comply with the statutory requirements
of any country in which the application will be
filed, not file such application without the
permission of the Party owning such Confidential
Information, which permission shall only be withheld
if disclosure of such Confidential Information has a
significant adverse impact upon the commercial
interests of the Party owning such Confidential
Information.
In the event a Party must file a patent application before the thirty
(30) day notice period has expired to avoid potential loss of patent
rights in one or more countries throughout the world, that Party may do
so in confidence in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office or the United
Kingdom Patent Office only. If agreement to disclose the information is
not then forthcoming from the other Party pursuant to this Paragraph
7.5, the Party which filed the application shall take the necessary
steps to prevent the relevant application from being published.
7.6. Information Regarding Sponsored Rights. Each Party will keep
the other Party fully advised of the status of any patent
application or patent for which the other Party has been
granted an option to license under Article 6 of this
Agreement. Each Party will provide the other Party with all
pertinent information related to such patent application or
patent, including but not limited to copies of all searches,
patent applications, prosecution papers, issued patents,
correspondence with foreign associates in respect to foreign
patent applications and patents, and litigation papers.
8. WARRANTIES
8.1. No Conflicting Agreements. Both parties warrant that they have
no agreements with any third party or commitments or
obligations which conflict in any way with their obligations
under this Agreement. Neither Party will enter into during the
term of this Agreement any agreement, commitment or obligation
in conflict with its obligations under this Agreement.
8.2. Agreements with Employees and Agents. IMATION and 3M warrant
that they will obtain from their employees and agents who
perform work in accordance with the Joint Development Program
a valid and sufficient written agreement vesting ownership of
all their relevant discoveries, improvements and ideas in
IMATION or 3M, respectively.
8.3. Non-infringement. Neither Party warrants nor represents that
any product or process conceived, developed or used in
accordance with the Joint Development Program does not
infringe any intellectual property rights of any third party.
Each Party will, however, notify the other Party promptly in
the event a Party has knowledge of a possible conflict with
the intellectual property rights of any third party.
9. CONFIDENTIALITY
9.1. Non-Use and Nondisclosure. Except as provided elsewhere in
this Agreement, 3M and IMATION each agree to maintain
Confidential Information in confidence and not use or disclose
such Confidential Information without the prior written
approval of the other Party, except i) as is contemplated by
this Agreement or any subsequent Agreement relating to the
Joint Development Program, ii) to commercialize any products
developed as a result of the Joint Development Program, iii)
as is required to be disclosed to recover damages for a breach
of this Agreement, or iv) as is required to comply with any
order of a court or any applicable rule, regulation, or law of
any jurisdiction. In the event that a Party is required by
judicial or administrative process to disclose Confidential
Information of the other Party, it shall promptly notify the
other Party and allow the other Party a reasonable time to
oppose such process. The foregoing obligations shall remain in
force for the period set forth in the Addendum.
9.2. Degree of Care. Both 3M and IMATION shall protect Confidential
Information by using the same degree of care, but not less
than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized
disclosure or use of Confidential Information, as that Party
uses to protect its own confidential information of like
nature.
9.3. Disclosure to Affiliates. Any provision of this Agreement to
the contrary notwithstanding, both 3M and IMATION are entitled
to disclose Confidential Information to the extent reasonably
necessary for the purposes of this Agreement, to their
respective Affiliates on condition that such entities agree to
be bound by this Agreement with respect to nondisclosure
and/or non-use of such information.
9.4. Agreements with Employees, Agents and Consultants. 3M and its
Affiliates and IMATION and its Affiliates each represent and
warrant that their respective employees or agents performing
work according to the Joint Development Agreement or having
access to any Confidential Information shall be subject to a
valid, binding and enforceable agreement to maintain the
obligations of confidentiality and non-use of this Article 9.
9.5. No Reference to Other Party. Except to the extent permitted
expressly in the Intellectual Property Rights Agreement, or in
any other written agreement between the Parties, neither Party
will, without the prior written consent of the other Party:
9.5.1. use in advertising, publicity, or otherwise in
connection with products developed in accordance with
this Agreement, any trade name, trademark, trade
device, service xxxx, or symbol owned by the other
Party; or
9.5.2. represent, either directly or indirectly, that any
product or service of the other Party is a product or
service of the representing Party, or vice versa.
10. INDEMNIFICATION AND INSURANCE
10.1. By 3M. 3M shall indemnify and hold IMATION and its Affiliates
harmless from any and all loss or liability for any and all
claims, causes of action, suits, proceedings, losses, damages,
demands, fees, expenses, fines, penalties and costs (including
without limitation reasonable attorney's fees, costs and
disbursements) arising from any injury or alleged injury to
any third person or business for property damage, personal
injury or incidental, special or consequential damages caused
by any products made or processes performed by 3M which are
related to this Agreement.
10.2. By IMATION. IMATION shall indemnify and hold 3M and its
Affiliates harmless from any and all loss or liability for any
and all claims, causes of action, suits, proceedings, losses,
damages, demands, fees, expenses, fines, penalties and costs
(including without limitation reasonable attorney's fees,
costs and disbursements) arising from any injury or alleged
injury to any third person or business for property damage,
personal injury or incidental, special or consequential
damages caused by any products made or processes performed by
IMATION which are related to this Agreement.
10.3. Claims. A Party (the "indemnitee") which intends to claim
indemnification under this Article 10 shall promptly notify
the other Party ("the indemnitor") in writing of any action,
claim or liability in respect of which the indemnitee or any
of its employees or agents intend to claim such
indemnification. The indemnitee shall permit, and shall cause
its employees and agents to permit, the indemnitor to settle
any such action, claim or liability and agrees to the control
of such defense or settlement by the indemnitor; provided,
however, that such settlement does not adversely affect the
indemnitee's rights hereunder or impose any obligations on the
indemnitee in addition to those set forth herein. No such
action, claim or liability shall be settled without the prior
written consent of the indemnitor to the extent the indemnitor
has responsibility or liability for any portion of such
settlement, and the indemnitor shall not be responsible for
any attorneys' fees or other costs incurred other than as
provided herein. The indemnitee, its employees and agents,
shall cooperate fully with the indemnitor and its legal
representatives in the investigation and defense of any
action, claim or liability covered by this indemnification.
The indemnitee shall have the right, but not the obligation,
to be represented by counsel of its own selection and at its
own expense.
10.4. Insurance. Each Party shall maintain commercial general
liability insurance, including products liability and
contractual liability coverage, in an amount and for a time
period which will cover the liability assumed by that Party
under this Agreement, provided that each Party shall have the
right to be self-insured for at least a portion of such
amount. Each Party shall provide the other upon request with a
certificate of insurance evidencing the existence of these
coverages.
11. DISCLAIMERS
11.1. Introduction. 3M and IMATION expressly agree to the following
provisions which underlie their positions upon entering this
Agreement.
11.2. Risk of Failure. 3M and IMATION recognize and assume the
significant risks associated with designing, developing and
manufacturing products in accordance with the Joint
Development Agreement. Specifically, 3M and IMATION
individually assume the risks that:
11.2.1. neither Party will develop any products or processes
that meet customer requirements or the goals of the
Joint Development Program, and
11.2.2. the market will fail to accept such products, or the
market will fail to accept such products to the level
anticipated by 3M or IMATION at the time the Parties
sign this Agreement.
Although 3M and IMATION will use their reasonable efforts to
conduct the Joint Development Program, no expenditures by
either Party hereunder will be reimbursed because the
development of any products or processes has been
unsuccessful. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE EXPLICITLY SET FORTH HEREIN,
EACH PARTY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS TO THE OTHER PARTY ANY EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY
OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARISING OUT OF ITS
PERFORMANCE OR ATTEMPTED DEVELOPMENT OF A PRODUCT OR PROCESS
PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.
11.3. Devotion of Resources. Any obligations regarding a duty to
devote resources and efforts to the development of products
are contained in this Agreement. There is no implied
obligation to devote any other level of resources or effort.
11.4. Competitive Products. This Agreement in no way precludes
either Party from developing, manufacturing, marketing, using
or processing any products or technology that are not
developed in accordance with the Joint Development Program but
that may be compatible or competitive with any products or
Subject Technology conceived or developed in accordance with
the Joint Development Program. The Parties recognize, however,
that the Intellectual Property Rights Agreement may preclude
such activities.
11.5. Limitation of Liabilities. NEITHER IMATION NOR 3M SHALL UNDER
ANY CIRCUMSTANCES BE LIABLE TO EACH OTHER FOR INDIRECT,
INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, BUT
NOT LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, OR BUSINESS)
RESULTING FROM OR IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR THE
TERMINATION OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ARISING OUT OF OR ALLEGED TO
HAVE ARISEN OUT OF (i) BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, (ii) THE
FAILURE BY EITHER PARTY TO DEVELOP ANY PRODUCTS OR PROCESSES
IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE JOINT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, (iii) THE
FAILURE BY EITHER PARTY TO DEVOTE THE RESOURCES SPECIFIED IN
THE JOINT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, (iv) THE FAILURE BY EITHER
PARTY TO COMPLY WITH THE EXPRESS CONDITIONS SPECIFIED IN THE
JOINT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM, OR (v) ANY EVENT RELATED TO THE
CONDUCT OF THE JOINT DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM. This limitation
applies regardless of whether such damages are sought based on
breach of contract, negligence, or any other legal theory.
11.6. No Obligation to Supply. Except as expressly stated herein,
this Agreement in no way creates an obligation on, or
commitment by IMATION or 3M to manufacture or supply products
to each other or to any other person, firm, or corporation.
11.7. Future Financing. Neither Party will rely on the other Party
as a source of any additional monies except as explicitly
provided by this Agreement.
12. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
12.1. Either Party may invoke the dispute resolution process of this
Article upon notice to the other Party that it believes a
dispute has arisen between the Parties relating to the making
or performance of this Agreement, including, but not limited
to, any act or failure to act by said other Party which the
Party providing notice believes constitutes a material breach
hereof. Any such dispute shall be resolved in the following
order of preference:
12.1.1. by good faith negotiation between executives of 3M
and IMATION who have authority to fully and finally
resolve the dispute;
12.1.2. if necessary, by non-binding mediation at a location
acceptable to both Parties using a neutral mediator
having experience with the industry under the Center
for Public Resources Model Procedure for Mediation of
Business Disputes (with the costs therefor shared
equally); or
12.1.3. as a last resort only, by binding arbitration of
disputes i) concerning inventorship, ii) resulting
from a failure to agree to licensing terms under
Article 6, or iii) or involving a risk that a trade
secret could be disclosed publicly or otherwise
compromised if litigated, or by litigation of any
other disputes.
12.2. Treatment of Negotiations and Mediations. All negotiations and
mediations pursuant to this Article shall be treated as
compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of Rule
408 of the Federal Rules of Evidence and comparable state
rules of evidence.
12.3. Disputes Subject to Binding Arbitration. Disputes regarding
inventorship (the process for which is further detailed in
Paragraph 12.5), disputes regarding licensing terms under
Article 6 (the process for which is further detailed in
Paragraph 12.6), and disputes which involve a risk that a
trade secret could be disclosed publicly or otherwise
compromised if litigated shall be subject to binding
arbitration. If litigation is initiated relative to a dispute,
and subsequent to such initiation it is realized by a Party
that there is a risk of public disclosure or other compromise
of a trade secret if the litigation continued, that Party may
request that the litigation be terminated and that the dispute
be sent to arbitration. If there is a disagreement between the
Parties as to whether the dispute should be sent to
arbitration, the court where the litigation is pending shall
be asked to take evidence in camera and decide if the dispute
should be sent to arbitration under this provision. The Party
asserting that a trade secret could be disclosed publicly or
could otherwise be compromised in resolving the dispute shall
bear the burden of proof by a preponderance of the evidence.
12.4. Arbitration Procedures. If the Parties are unable to resolve
any dispute that is subject to arbitration under this Article
12 by negotiation or mediation under Paragraphs 12.1.1 and
12.2.2, they agree to submit such dispute to binding
arbitration under the Center for Public Resources Rules for
Non-Administered Arbitration of Patent and Trade Secret
Disputes. The Parties agree to employment of a single
arbitrator in resolving any such dispute. The Federal Rules of
Civil Procedure and the Federal Rules of Evidence shall be
applicable except where they may conflict with the more
explicit process for resolving inventorship disputes set forth
in Paragraph 12.5 or for resolving disputes regarding
acceptable licensing terms set forth in Paragraph 12.6. Any
arbitration proceeding shall be concluded in a maximum of one
(1) year from written notice from one Party to the other Party
identifying a dispute subject to arbitration under this
Paragraph 12.4 and requesting arbitration after having
participated in negotiation under Paragraph 12.1.1 and
mediation under Paragraph 12.1.2.
12.5. Disputes Regarding Inventorship. In addition to the procedure
set forth in Paragraph 12.4, the following shall apply to
arbitration of disputes regarding inventorship. The arbitrator
shall be an independent patent attorney residing in the United
States and registered to practice before the United States
Patent and Trademark Office. The arbitrator shall resolve the
inventorship dispute in accordance with the laws of the United
States within three (3) months of his or her appointment. The
Parties agree to supply to the arbitrator such documentary
evidence of inventorship as they wish to rely upon together
with a written statement of their position not to exceed
twenty (20) pages in length within twenty (20) days of the
appointment of the arbitrator. Unless the Parties agree to
rely on affidavits, the arbitrator shall set a hearing at
which each Party shall have up to eight (8) hours to present
witnesses and to cross examine the witnesses for the other
Party. If there is a hearing, each Party shall provide a
statement summarizing the anticipated testimony of each
witness it may have testify to the other Party and the
arbitrator at least fifteen (15) days in advance of the
hearing. The arbitrator's award shall be in writing not to
exceed twenty (20) pages in length and shall include reasoning
in support of the award. The resolution of the arbitrator
shall be final and binding on the Parties, without right of
appeal.
12.6. Licensing Terms. In addition to the procedure set forth in
Paragraph 12.4, the following shall apply to arbitration of
disputes resulting from a failure by the Parties to agree to
mutually acceptable licensing terms under Article 6. The
arbitrator shall be an unbiased professional familiar with the
industry to which the licensed rights pertain. The Parties
shall be obligated to offer licenses to the other Party on the
terms set by the arbitrator. If the Party offered a license
decides not to accept a license on such terms, the Party
offering the license shall have the right to seek other
potential licensees.
12.7. Confidentiality. All negotiation, mediation and arbitration
proceedings under this Article shall be treated as
Confidential Information in accordance with the provisions of
Article 9. Any mediator or arbitrator shall be bound by an
agreement containing confidentiality provisions at least as
restrictive as those contained in Article 9.
12.8. Equitable Relief. Nothing herein shall preclude either Party
from taking whatever actions are necessary to prevent any
immediate, irreparable harm to its interests, including
multiple breaches of this Agreement by the other Party.
Otherwise, these procedures are exclusive and shall be fully
exhausted prior to the initiation of any litigation. Either
Party may seek specific enforcement of any arbitrator's
decision under this Article. The other Party's only defense to
such a request for specific enforcement shall be fraud by or
on the arbitrator.
12.9. Governing Law; Personal Jurisdiction. Any questions, claims,
disputes, remedies or procedural matters shall be governed
exclusively by the laws of the State of Minnesota, without
regard to the principles of conflicts of law. The Parties
agree that Minnesota has a substantial relationship to this
transaction, and each Party consents to personal jurisdiction
in the courts of Minnesota.
13. TERM AND TERMINATION
13.1. Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date
stated above and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement, will continue according to the
timetable set forth in the Joint Development Program and will
expire upon termination of the Joint Development Program,
which shall be no later than the date set forth in the
Addendum .
13.2. Termination of Agreement. This Agreement may be terminated by
either Party without cause by giving not less than thirty (30)
days prior written notice to the other Party. However, such
termination shall not affect any license or option to license
granted to either Party in accordance with Article 6 of this
Agreement prior to the date of such termination.
13.3. Default. This Agreement may be terminated by either Party in
the event of a material breach by the other Party of the terms
of this Agreement, provided that the terminating Party first
gives the defaulting Party written notice of termination,
specifying the grounds therefor, and the defaulting Party has
had thirty (30) days after such notice is given to cure the
breach. If not so cured, this Agreement shall terminate at the
expiration of such thirty (30) days. Waiver by a Party of a
default by the other Party shall not deprive the first Party
of the right to terminate this Agreement due to any subsequent
default of the other Party.
13.4. Survival. Termination of this Agreement through any means for
any reason shall not relieve either Party of any obligation
accrued prior to such termination and shall be without
prejudice to the rights and remedies with respect to default
or breach of this Agreement. Specifically, the provisions of
Articles 6, 9, and 10 shall survive termination or expiration
of this Agreement to the extent provided in such Articles.
13.5. Return of Information. In the event this Agreement is
terminated pursuant to Paragraph 13.2, the terminating Party
agrees to return to the terminated Party within thirty (30)
days of termination all documents, prototypes and models
received from the terminated Party pursuant to this Agreement.
If this Agreement is terminated pursuant to Paragraph 13.3,
the Party in default shall return to the terminating Party all
such documents, prototypes and models received from the
terminating Party within thirty (30) days of termination.
14. MISCELLANEOUS
14.1. Notices. Except as set forth in Article 4, all notices or
reports shall be delivered personally or by registered or
certified mail, postage prepaid, to the addresses of the
respective Parties shown in the Addendum. Notices shall be
effective upon receipt if personally delivered or sent by
facsimile transmission, or on the first business day following
the date of mailing. Any change of address of a Party shall be
promptly communicated in writing to the other Party.
14.2. Assignment. Neither this Agreement nor any right or obligation
hereunder shall be assignable by either Party without the
prior written consent of the other Party and any purported
assignment without such consent shall be void; provided,
however, that either Party may assign this Agreement without
such consent in connection with the sale or transfer of all or
substantially all of the business to which this Agreement
pertains. Any permitted assignee shall assume all obligations
of its assignor under this Agreement. No assignment shall
relieve any Party of responsibility for the performance of any
accrued obligation which such Party then has hereunder.
14.3. Force Majeure. If the performance of this Agreement or any
obligations under this Agreement, except the making of
required payments, is prevented, restricted, or interfered
with by reason of fire, flood, explosion, or other casualty,
accident, or act of God; strikes or labor disturbances; war,
whether declared or not, or other violence; sabotage; any law,
order, proclamation, regulation, ordinance, demand, or
requirement of any government agency; or any other event
beyond the reasonable control of the Parties, the affected
Party, upon giving prompt notice to the other Party, shall be
excused from such performance to the extent of such
prevention, restriction, or interference. The affected Party
shall use its reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such cause
of non-performance or to limit the impact of the event on such
Party's performance and shall continue performance with the
utmost dispatch whenever such causes are removed.
14.4. Export Controls. A recipient of technical data or products
agrees to comply with all United States Department of Commerce
and other United States export controls. Each Party agrees
that, unless prior authorization is obtained from the Office
of Export Administration, it will not knowingly ship or
transfer technical data covered by this Agreement or any
direct product of such technical data, directly or indirectly,
to any country in contravention of any Office of Export
Administration requirement.
14.5. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and its Exhibits set forth
the entire agreement between the Parties and supersede all
previous agreements and understandings, whether oral or
written, between the Parties with respect to the subject
matter of this Agreement except to the extent contemplated
herein relative to the Intellectual Property Rights Agreement.
14.6. Amendment. This Agreement may not be modified, amended or
discharged except as expressly stated in this Agreement or by
a written agreement signed by an authorized representative of
each Party.
14.7. Separability. The provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed
separable. If any provision in this Agreement shall be found
or be held to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction
in which this Agreement is performed, then the meaning of that
provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, to
render the provision enforceable, and if no feasible
interpretation would save such provision, it shall be severed
from the remainder of this Agreement which shall remain in
full force and effect unless the provisions that are invalid
or unenforceable substantially impair the value of the entire
Agreement to either Party. In such event, the Parties shall
use their respective reasonable efforts to negotiate a
substitute, valid and enforceable provision which most nearly
effects the Parties' intent in entering into this Agreement.
14.8. Waiver. No waiver of any term, provision or condition of this
Agreement whether by conduct or otherwise in any one or more
instances shall be deemed to be or construed as a further or
continuing waiver of any such term, provision or condition or
of any other term, provision or condition of this Agreement.
14.9. Relationship of Parties. Each of the Parties hereto is an
independent contractor and nothing herein shall be deemed to
constitute the relationship of partners, joint venturers, nor
of principal and agent between the Parties hereto.
14.10. Succession. This Agreement shall bind the Parties, their
successors, trustees, and permitted assigns.
14.11. Guaranty Affiliates. Each Party guarantees the performance and
all obligations of its Affiliates under this Agreement.
14.12. Authority. Each Party has the full right, power, and authority
to execute and deliver this Agreement and to perform its
terms. The execution and delivery of this Agreement and the
consummation of the transactions required by this Agreement
will not violate or conflict with any charter provision or

SHORT TERM/PROJECT CONSULTING AGREEMENT
This Agreement ("Agreement") is by and between Imation Corp., a Delaware
corporation whose address and principal place of business is 0 Xxxxxxx Xxxxx,
Xxxxxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 ("IMATION") and Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing
Company, a Delaware corporation whose address and principal place of business is
3M Center, Xxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxx 00000 ("3M").
RECITALS
3M and IMATION have separately entered into an Intellectual Property Rights
Agreement on July 1, 1996 (the "Intellectual Property Rights Agreement"). The
Parties have now agreed to cooperate in the provision by one Party to the other
of technical consulting services as follows.
In consideration of the mutual covenants which follow, it is agreed that:
1. DEFINITIONS
Except as otherwise specifically provided herein, the terms of this
Agreement shall have the meanings set forth in the Intellectual Property Rights
Agreement. In addition, the following terms shall have the meanings set forth
herein:
1.1 "Requestor" shall mean the Party requesting the provision of
Services.
1.2 "Provider" shall mean the Party providing the Services.
1.3 "Services" shall mean work to be performed by the Provider as
described in the Addendum hereto.
1.4 "Work Product" means all discoveries, improvements and ideas
(whether or not shown or described in writing or reduced to practice), mask
works (topography of semiconductor chips) and works of authorship, whether or
not patentable, copyrightable or registerable made, authored or conceived by a
Provider in the performance of Services.
2. PROVISION OF SERVICES
2.1 PROVIDER PERSONNEL. All Services rendered by a Provider shall be
performed only by Provider's employees who have signed the Provider's standard
Employee Agreement and contract workers who have signed the Provider's standard
Contract Worker Agreement, and no part of the Service shall be performed by any
other third Party without the express written consent of the Requester (who may
need to impose special terms and conditions to protect its confidential
information, trade secrets, ownership of intellectual property and the like).
2.2 COOPERATION. Each Party shall fully cooperate with the other Party
to facilitate the provisions of services including, but not limited to,
providing access to the other Party's facilities and premises (subject to
reasonable safety and security policies and requirements) and conducting
in-person and telephonic conferences to review progress and resolve problems
arising with respect to Services.
2.3 STANDARD OF CARE. The Parties understand and acknowledge that
neither Party is in the business of providing Services to third parties of the
type contemplated by this Agreement and that the standard of care to which a
Provider performing Services hereunder shall be accountable for shall be the
standard of care used by the Provider in furnishing the same or similar services
to its own internal organization. Under no circumstances shall a Provider be
held accountable for a greater standard of care than that which is appropriate
for an entity furnishing the same or similar services to the general public.
3. COMPENSATION, TAXES
3.1 As full compensation for the provision of Services, the Requestor
shall pay the Provider the Compensation indicated in the Addendum hereto,
together with any applicable sales, use, value-added or related taxes (but
excluding taxes based upon the Provider's net income or any payroll or
withholding taxes which relate to the Provider's employees). Compensation and
taxes shall be payable to the Provider within one month after the Requester's
receipt of the Provider's itemized invoice detailing the Services performed.
4. WORK PRODUCT, CONFIDENTIALITY
4.1 The Parties acknowledge and agree that, except as specifically set
forth herein, this Agreement, and all Services performed under this Agreement,
are subject to the terms and conditions of the Intellectual Property Rights
Agreement in effect between the parties. No term or condition of this Agreement
is intended to alter or circumvent, or will alter or circumvent, the Parties'
rights and obligations respecting intellectual property as set forth in the
Intellectual Property Rights Agreement, except as may be agreed to separately in
writing between the Parties. By way of illustration, it is possible that the
provision of Services may result in the creation of Work Product that is based,
in whole or in part, upon Background PI, and that such Work Product may
constitute 3M Foreground PI, IMATION Foreground PI, Joint Foreground PI or other
intellectual property otherwise covered by the Intellectual Property Rights
Agreement. The Parties' respective rights and obligations in and to all such
intellectual property shall be governed exclusively by the Intellectual Property
Rights Agreement. All Services shall be provided subject to the confidentiality
provisions of the Intellectual Property Rights Agreement.
5. TERM AND TERMINATION
5.1 The Agreement shall remain in effect (the "Term") for the period
set forth in the Addendum; provided, however, either Party may terminate this
Agreement by giving the other Party sixty (60) days advance written notice. Upon
termination or completion of this Agreement: (i) each Party shall return, upon
demand, all tangible personal property of the other Party in its possession, and
(ii) each Party shall pay Compensation for all Services rendered prior to the
effective termination or cancellation date.
6. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
6.1 Disputes between the Parties shall be resolved pursuant to the
procedures in Article 22 of the Intellectual Property Rights Agreement.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the Parties hereto have caused this Agreement to be
executed by their duly authorized representatives.

OBLIGATIONS REGARDING EXTRAORDINARILY
SENSITIVE TECHNOLOGIES
Use and disclosure of Extraordinarily Sensitive Technologies shall be governed
by following provisions of this Agreement:
I. Extraordinarily Sensitive Technologies which find their primary use and
commercial importance in one of the Parties (Primary User) shall be
treated by the other Party (Secondary User) in addition to the other
provisions of this Agreement as follows:
A. The Extraordinarily Sensitive Technology (EST) shall be
treated with a degree of care which is higher than the
treatment of other Confidential Information and at least with
the same degree of care as it has been treated by 3M prior to
the Distribution Date.
B. The Secondary User shall not sublicense or otherwise transfer
the EST without the prior written approval of the Primary
User.
C. Any person who is authorized to practice the EST or who by
virtue of his or her employment by the Secondary User has an
understanding regarding the theoretical intricacies of the EST
enabling such person to instruct or demonstrate to another how
to use the EST or operate any equipment associated therewith
shall be subject to restrictions relative to the use and
disclosure of the information regarding the EST at least as
restrictive as those set forth in the format of the 3M
Employee Agreement on the Distribution Date (in the case where
3M is the Secondary User) or the format of the IMATION
Employee Agreement as of the Distribution Date (in the case
where IMATION is the Secondary User). The operators of
equipment who carry out a process involved in an EST at 3M and
who have not traditionally signed Employee Agreements shall
not be required to sign such an agreement. The Primary User of
the EST shall be a third party beneficiary under such
confidentiality provisions and such Primary User shall have
the option but not the obligation to enforce such agreements
to the extent they relate to EST and to join the Secondary
User in any suit brought to enforce such agreement, if the
Secondary User is an indispensable Party to such suit, or to
join the Secondary User in any suit brought by the Secondary
User to enforce such agreements to the extent they relate to
the EST.
D. To the extent that the use of the EST is subject to a Field of
Use restriction, the Secondary User shall promptly provide the
Primary User with notice of any breach of the use or
non-disclosure obligations relating to EST. Any claims,
disputes, questions or controversies between the Parties that
may arise in connection with the rights or obligations hereto
concerning the EST (including but not limited to any dispute
concerning the use or disclosure of the EST) shall be resolved
in accordance with Paragraphs 22.1.1 and 22.1.2 of this
Agreement and if they cannot be resolved between the Parties
shall be submitted and determined by arbitration as set forth
in Paragraph 22.5 of this Agreement.
E. In the event that the Secondary User of the EST shall have any
knowledge or reasonable grounds to suspect that any breach of
any of the obligations of the Secondary User contained herein
regarding the use and disclosure of EST has occurred, the
Secondary User shall immediately advise the Primary User in
writing thereof.
In the event that the Secondary User has reason to give notice
or has actually given notice to the Primary User that it has
reasonable grounds to suspect such a breach, the Secondary
User shall promptly use reasonable efforts to investigate its
suspicion in an effort to determine whether there has been in
fact such a breach and report the results of such
investigation to the Primary User.
In the event that the Secondary User has given notice to the
Primary User that such breach has occurred, the Secondary User
shall promptly seek a preliminary injunction or other
available relief against further unauthorized use or
disclosure of the EST by any employee of the Secondary User or
any person who to the best of the knowledge of the Secondary
User has obtained such information concerning the EST as a
result of such breach. If in seeking such judicial relief it
appears to the Secondary User that any disclosure of EST will
be required, it will promptly notify the Primary User and seek
a protective order for such information satisfactory to the
Primary User, it being understood that if such protective
order cannot be obtained or the Primary User requests that the
Secondary User discontinue its attempt to seek such judicial
relief, the Secondary User will comply with such request and
the Secondary User will not have any further obligation to
seek any such relief. Any person known to the Secondary User
to be responsible for such breach shall no longer be afforded
access to the EST by the Secondary User and the Secondary User
shall use all reasonable efforts to prevent recurrence of such
breach.
2. If both Parties are significant users of an Extraordinarily Sensitive
Technology (EST), and it is of substantial commercial importance to
both, the following shall apply, in addition to other provisions of
this Agreement:
A. Neither party shall sublicense or otherwise transfer the EST
without prior written approval of the other Party.
B. The foregoing provisions relative to the Secondary User shall
apply to each user in respect to the matters referenced in the
foregoing provisions relative to a Primary and Secondary User.
3. Any sublicense or other transfer of an EST shall only occur as an
ancillary part of an overall transaction. No sublicense or other
transfer shall occur except as provided above in 1B or 2A. The Party
sublicensing or otherwise transferring the EST shall obtain from the
transferee (SUBLICENSEE) agreement to the following provisions before
disclosing the EST to the SUBLICENSEE:
A. Agreement to use and confidentiality restrictions at least as
restrictive as those contained in this Agreement. Any person
who is authorized by the SUBLICENSEE to use the EST or any
person who, by virtue of his employment by SUBLICENSEE, is
allowed to know or use the EST shall enter into an agreement
with use and confidentiality restrictions at least as
restrictive with SUBLICENSEE as set forth in the form of the
employee agreement of the Party sublicensing or otherwise
transferring the EST hereunder. For a period of twenty (20)
years from the Distribution Date, SUBLICENSEE shall authorize
only the minimum number, as reasonably determined by
SUBLICENSEE, of manufacturing and research and development
personnel of SUBLICENSEE who have an actual need to know to
have access to the EST. The Party sublicensing or otherwise
transferring the EST (Licensing Party) shall be a third party
beneficiary under such agreements to the extent they relate to
the EST, and the Licensing Party shall have the option, but
not the obligation, to enforce such agreements to the extent
they relate to the EST and to join SUBLICENSEE in any suit
brought by the Licensing Party to enforce such agreement, if
SUBLICENSEE is an indispensable party to such suit, and to
join SUBLICENSEE in any action instituted by SUBLICENSEE to
enforce such agreements to the extent they relate to the EST
B. For the first ten (10) years after the Distribution Date,
within thirty (30) days after the anniversary of the
Distribution Date, any SUBLICENSEE shall (i) certify in
writing to the Licensing Party that, to the best knowledge of
SUBLICENSEE, there has been no material breach of
SUBLICENSEE's obligations under this Agreement concerning the
use and non-disclosure of the EST, and (ii) provide a list in
writing of all persons who, to the best knowledge of
SUBLICENSEE, have used or had access to the EST during that
year and, for each such person who has left the employ of
SUBLICENSEE, such list shall indicate such person's first
subsequent employer (if employed).
C. Any claims, disputes, questions or controversies between the
parties to this Agreement that may arise within twenty (20)
years of the Distribution Date in connection with the rights
and obligations of the parties thereto concerning the EST
(including, but not limited to, any dispute concerning the use
or disclosure of the EST) which cannot after a reasonable
effort be resolved between the parties shall be submitted to
and determined by arbitration. The parties shall use their
reasonable efforts to enable such arbitration to be conducted
as expeditiously as reasonably possible in an attempt to
minimize the adverse effects of such claims, disputes,
questions or controversies.
D. In the event that SUBLICENSEE has knowledge, or reasonable
grounds to suspect, that a breach of any of the obligations of
SUBLICENSEE regarding the use or disclosure of the EST has
occurred, SUBLICENSEE shall immediately advise the Licensing
Party in writing thereof.
In the event SUBLICENSEE has given notice to the Licensing
Party that it has reasonable grounds to suspect such a breach,
SUBLICENSEE will promptly use reasonable efforts to
investigate its suspicion in an effort to determine whether
there has in fact been such a breach, and report the results
of such investigation to the Licensing Party. In the event
SUBLICENSEE has given notice to the Licensing Party that such
a breach has occurred, SUBLICENSEE shall promptly seek a
preliminary injunction and other available judicial relief
against further unauthorized use or disclosure of the EST by
any employee of SUBLICENSEE or any other person who, to the
best knowledge of SUBLICENSEE, has obtained such information
concerning the EST as a result of such breach. If, in seeking
such judicial relief it appears to SUBLICENSEE that any
disclosure of the EST will be required, it will promptly
notify the Licensing Party and seek a protective order for
such information satisfactory to the Licensing Party, it being
understood that if such protective order cannot be obtained or
the Licensing Party requests that SUBLICENSEE discontinue its
attempt to seek such judicial relief, SUBLICENSEE will comply
with such request and SUBLICENSEE will not have any further
obligation to seek any such relief. Any person known to
SUBLICENSEE to be responsible for such breach shall no longer
be afforded access to the EST by SUBLICENSEE and SUBLICENSEE
shall use all reasonable efforts to prevent the recurrence of
such breach.
In the event that SUBLICENSEE shall have given notice to the
Licensing Party of such a breach of SUBLICENSEE's obligations
under the agreement with respect to the use or disclosure of
the EST or a determination in an arbitration proceeding
conducted as described above that such a breach shall have
occurred, the parties agree to the following provisions. If
such breach is due to (a) the use by SUBLICENSEE of the EST
outside the fields allowed under the agreement of use by
SUBLICENSEE or (b) the failure by SUBLICENSEE to comply in any
material respect with its obligations under the agreement with
regard to the EST, the license under the EST or other rights
granted under the agreement shall be immediately terminated
unless such breach is cured within sixty (60) days after the
Licensing Party shall have received notice thereof from
SUBLICENSEE or the Licensing Party shall have given notice
thereof to SUBLICENSEE, as the case may be. Use of the EST
outside the fields allowed to SUBLICENSEE under the agreement
shall at the Licensing Party's option be deemed cured by
termination of such use. Such termination or cure shall not
prevent the Licensing Party from seeking relief with respect
to such breach through arbitration.
EXHIBIT Q
ROYALTY FOR LICENSES UNDER LICENSED
TRADEMARKS AND LICENSED TRADE DRESSES
I. For use of "Borne of 3M Innovation," IMATION will pay to 3M one-hundred
thousand dollars ($100,000.00) per year beginning July 1, 1996, until
June 30, 2001, or until IMATION discontinues use of the phrase,
whichever comes first. The annual fee will be payable by August 31 of
each year.
II. For use of the other Licensed Trademarks and Licensed Trade Dress by
IMATION's Data Storage, Medical Imaging and Photo Color Divisions,
IMATION agrees:
i) To purchase from 3M an annual amount of fifty million dollars
($50,000,000.00) of supplies for the manufacture of IMATION products,
such as, but not limited to, film products, chemical products, fabric,
label stock and burnishing tapes; and
ii) To provide 3M with 30 million Leveraging Our Leadership ("LOL")
insert placements in diskette 10 pack boxes per year. The inserts will
be provided to IMATION by 3M and will comply with IMATION's guidelines
for LOL inserts. IMATION will bear the costs of insertion.
Such purchase and placement obligations shall continue from July 1,
1996 to June 30, 1999 or until the time IMATION's Data Storage, Medical
Imaging and Photo Color Divisions discontinue use of the Licensed
Trademarks and the Licensed Trade Dress, whichever comes first.
III. If for any reason, other than inability by 3M to fill IMATION's orders
for supplies or 3M's failure to request sufficient LOL placements,
IMATION does not substantially fulfill the purchase and LOL commitments
set forth above, the Parties agree to negotiate a reasonable royalty
for use of the Licensed Trademarks and Licensed Trade Dress by the Data
Storage, Medical Imaging and Photo Color Divisions. In negotiating such
a royalty, consideration will be given to the extent to which IMATION
has partially completed such commitments, and a suitable reduction in
any otherwise due royalty will be allowed for such partial completion.
IV. For use of the other Licensed Trademarks and Licensed Trade Dress on or
in connection with IMATION's Document Systems products, IMATION agrees
to pay a royalty of 1% on 3M branded sales of such products.
V. For use of the other Licensed Trademarks and Licensed Trade Dress by
IMATION's Printing and Publishing Systems Division, IMATION agrees to
pay a royalty of 1/2% on 3M branded sales of products by the division.
VI. Within two (2) months of the end of each calendar quarter, IMATION
shall report and pay the royalty on all sales for which a royalty is
due. The royalty shall be payable on sales net of returns, refunds,
discounts, trade allowances and the like. IMATION shall send the report
and royalty payment to:
Minnesota Mining and Manufacturing Company
Department RR
Box 33133
St. Xxxx, Minnesota 55133-3133
VII. IMATION will maintain accurate books and records of account regarding
the sale of products upon which a royalty is due. IMATION will permit
3M to audit its books and records of account regarding products for
which a royalty is due from time to time, not more often than once a
year, to the extent necessary to verify the royalty reports and
payments based upon them. Such examination will be made at the expense
of 3M by a certified public accountant appointed by 3M and reasonably
acceptable to IMATION. The obligations of this paragraph will survive
the reporting period for three (3) years.
