a separate service and support agreement that describes the service,
recalibration and support obligations of each Party.
10.5.
Public Information.
Licensee agrees that the existence of a copyright notice or patent

warranty shall constitute the exclusive remedy available to Licensee and its End
User and shall be considered a condition of sale and use. Licensor shall not be
liable for any loss or damage, including loss of profit or consequential
damages, resulting from or attributed to the use of any Trillennium Product,

modification, installation, integration or other software not developed and
provided by Licensor. Licensor reserves the right to charge a fee based on time,

warranty that Licensor, in its sole discretion, subsequently determines was not
caused by a defect in the Product Software.

12.1.
Indemnification of
Licensee. Licensor shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensee and
its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives
(collectively, the “Licensee
Indemnified Parties”) from and against any loss, liability, obligation,
claim, diminution in value, damage, cost or expense, including reasonable
attorneys’ fees and disbursements and costs of investigation in connection with
any claim, action, suit or proceeding (each a “Loss”) suffered or incurred
by, or asserted against, any Licensee Indemnified Party that is attributable to,
is based upon, is caused by, results from, or in any way arises from any breach
or failure to perform by Licensor of any of its obligations, covenants or
agreements set forth in this Agreement.
7
12.2.
Indemnification of
Licensor. Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensor and
its officers, directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives
(collectively, the “Licensor
Indemnified Parties” and together with the Licensee Indemnified Parties,
the “Indemnified
Parties”) from and against any Loss suffered or incurred by, or asserted
against, any Licensor Indemnified Party that is attributable to, is based upon,
is caused by, results from, or in any way arises from:
(a) any
breach or failure to perform by Licensee of any of its obligations, covenants or
agreements set forth in this Agreement;
(b) any
inaccuracy in or breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty
of Licensee contained in this Agreement, and any claim, action, suit or
proceeding by any third party alleging facts that if proven would constitute an
inaccuracy in or breach of any such covenant, agreement, representation or
warranty of Licensee, provided the same is not the result of any fault of
Licensor; or
(c) any
claim, action, suit or proceeding brought by any third party (including without
limitation any governmental entity) in connection with Licensee’s production,
distribution, marketing and/or use of any Trillennium System, provided the same
is not the result of any fault of Licensor.
12.3.
Indemnification Claim
Procedure.
(a) Any
Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Article 12 shall give
prompt written notice to the persons against whom indemnification is sought (the
“Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim by a third party or the
discovery of any fact upon which the Indemnified Party intends to base a claim
under this Article 12. The delay or failure of any Indemnified Party to provide
notice hereunder shall not in any way limit its indemnification rights hereunder
except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that its ability
to defend or resolve such claim is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.
Any such notice shall describe the facts and circumstances upon which the
asserted claim for indemnification is based and shall include the amount of the
indemnified Losses (or, if such amount is not then determined, a good faith
estimate thereof) and the basis for the determination of the amount of such
Losses.
(b) With
respect to a third party claim:
(i) The Indemnifying Party may, if
applicable, and at the request of the Indemnified Party shall, participate in
and control the defense of any third party claim at its own expense. If the
Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense (whether or not obligated to) of
any such claim, the Indemnified Party may participate in such defense, but in
such case the expenses of the Indemnified Party shall be paid by the Indemnified
Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend a third party claim or, if
after commencing or undertaking any such defense, shall fail to prosecute or
shall withdraw from such defense, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to
undertake the defense thereof at the Indemnifying Party’s expense.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party assumes the defense of
a third party claim and if the Indemnified Party later determines in good faith
that the third party claim is (x) likely to materially adversely affect it or
its business in a manner that may not be adequately compensated by money damages
or (y) may expose the Indemnified Party to potential obligations or Losses that
may not be fully satisfied by the Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party
may, by written notice to the Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to
defend, compromise, or settle such claim. If the Indemnified Party shall so
assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle such claim as it
relates to the Indemnified Party’s liability only, all attorneys’ fees and other
expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party in the defense, compromise or
settlement of such claim shall be at the Indemnifying Party’s
expense.
8
(ii) The Party controlling the defense
of any third party suit, action or proceeding shall keep the other Party advised
of the status of such action, suit or proceeding and the defense thereof and
shall consider in good faith recommendations made by the other Party with
respect thereto.
(iii) The Indemnifying Party shall not
settle any third party claim without the consent (which consent shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Indemnified Party if any relief, other
than the payment of money damages which the Indemnifying Party shall be
obligated to pay in full, would be granted against the Indemnified Party or its
Affiliates by such settlement or if the Indemnified Party would be liable to the
third party for any portion of such settlement.
12.4.

TRADENAMES. Licensor owns numerous trademarks and trade names (“Trillennium Marks”), including
but not limited to the Trillennium® trademark and trade name. This Agreement

Trillennium Marks for any purpose without first obtaining Licensor’s written
consent to do so.
13. DEFAULT;
TERMINATION.
13.1.
Events of Default. Each
of the following shall constitute an Event of Default:

shall occur any failure by Licensee to pay, when due, any sum due and owing with
respect to the purchase of Trillennium Systems or any components thereof, it
being expressly understood and agreed that Licensee’s payment obligation
hereunder arises only with respect to Trillennium Products, Trillennium Systems

Licensee shall fail to perform any of the agreements or obligations imposed upon

Rights and Obligations upon
Licensee’s or Licensor’s Default. Upon the occurrence of any of the
Events of Default specified below, Licensor or Licensee, as the case may be,
shall have the following rights and obligations:
(a) Upon
occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Sections 13.1(a), (e) or (f), to
terminate this Agreement immediately upon the giving of notice thereof to the
non-defaulting Party.
(b) Upon
occurrence of an Event of Default specified in Section 13.1(b), (c) or (d), to
terminate this Agreement on the fifteenth (15th) day
after notice of such termination shall be given to Licensee or Licensor, as the
case may be, unless within such period of time, the defaulting Party shall have
cured the Default specified in such notice.
(c)
Termination of this Agreement shall not release the defaulting Party from the
obligation to make payment of all amounts then or thereafter due and payable to
Licensor hereunder.
(d)
Licensor shall have the right at its option to cancel any or all accepted
purchase orders which provide for delivery after the effective date of any such
termination.
14. CONFIDENTIALITY. Licensee and
Licensor both acknowledge a duty of care to each other. Each Party’s trade
secrets and business information, including but not limited to customer lists,
management information, and strategies and plans, that become known to the other
are to be treated as confidential, are to be used solely in connection with the
performance of this Agreement, and are not to be disclosed to anyone other than
Licensee’s or Licensor’s officers and employees, as the case may be, who require
access to the confidential information to perform their obligations under this
Agreement. On termination of this Agreement, each Party shall deliver to the
other all confidential information and materials and all copies thereof. The
duty of confidentiality will survive the termination of this
Agreement.
15. SUSPENSION OF PERFORMANCE.
Whenever a Party’s performance of its obligations, other than those obligations
involving payments for goods delivered, are substantially impaired by reason of
circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including but not
limited to failures or delay caused by the other Party, acts of God (including
without limitation, flood or earthquake), war, embargo, strike, labor
disturbance, riot, public disorder, terrorism, catastrophes of fire or
explosion, local or foreign laws or regulations not existing at the time of
execution of this Agreement, inability, beyond the party’s ability to control,
to secure materials or transportation facilities, or the intervention of any
governmental authority, then such performance will be excused during the course
of such events and for a reasonable time thereafter. To assert the right to
suspend performance, a Party must provide notice to the other Party within seven
(7) days of the event justifying the suspension. The Parties will make
commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of such events, and the
party receiving such notification shall be entitled to suspension of its
performance during such period of interruption.
10
Additionally,
Licensor agrees that it shall notify Licensee within three (3) business days of
its receipt of any impending or threatened interruption in the supply of any
components, which would impair Licensor’s ability to deliver Trillennium Systems
in accord with the terms of this Agreement.
16. DISPOSITION PERIOD. If this
Agreement is terminated for any reason, Licensee will have One Hundred Twenty
(120) days to dispose of its remaining inventory of Trillennium Products or
Trillennium Systems or any components thereof in a manner consistent with the
terms of this Agreement. If Licensee is unable to sell all remaining inventory
within this period, Licensor will make reasonable efforts to find a third party
buyer or otherwise dispose of the inventory.
17. GOVERNING LAW. All matters
arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions contemplated
hereby (including without limitation its interpretation, construction,
performance and enforcement) shall be governed by and construed in accordance
with the internal laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect to any choice
or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Ohio or any other
jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any jurisdictions
other than those of the State of Ohio to be applied.
18. SUBMISSION TO JURISDICTION.
Each of the Parties to this Agreement:
(a)
submits to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Ohio in Xxxxx
County or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio
located in Toledo, Ohio, in any action or proceeding arising out of or relating
to this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement;
(b)
agrees that all claims in respect of such action or proceeding may be heard and
determined in any such court;
(c)
agrees that it shall not attempt to deny or defeat such personal jurisdiction by
motion or other request for leave from any such court; and
(d)
agrees not to bring any action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this
Agreement or any of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement in any other
court.
Each of
the Parties hereto waives any defense of inconvenient forum to the maintenance
of any action or proceeding so brought and waives any bond, surety or other
security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any
Party hereto may make service on the other Party by sending or delivering a copy
of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner
provided for the giving of notices in Section 19. Nothing in this Section 18,
however, shall affect the right of any Party to serve legal process in any other
manner permitted by law.
19. NOTICES. All notices, and
other communications required in this Agreement will be in writing and will be
sent by certified mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, by a
recognized international courier service or by electronic communication. Notices
will be sent to the addresses shown at the beginning of this Agreement, or to
any other address a Party may designate by notice in accordance with this
Section. Notices will be deemed delivered when (a) the return receipt is signed,
delivery is refused, or the notice is designated by the postal authority as not
deliverable; (b) on the date of delivery recognized by an international courier
service; (c) or on the date of transmission if sent by electronic communication.
Notwithstanding the above, electronic notices and Purchase Orders sent to
Licensor will only be deemed delivered when their delivery or acceptance is
formally acknowledged by return notice from Licensor to Licensee.
20. INDEPENDENT CONTRACTOR.
Nothing herein shall be deemed to constitute Licensor and Licensee as partners
or otherwise associated in or with the business of the other. Licensee is and
will always remain an independent contractor and neither Party shall be liable
for any debts, obligations, or liabilities of the other. Neither Party is
authorized to incur debts or other obligations of any kind on the part of or as
agent for the other. It is expressly recognized that no fiduciary relationship
exists between the Parties.
11
21. WAIVERS. The failure or delay
of either Party to require performance by the other of any provision of this
Agreement will not affect the right of that Party to require performance of that
provision or to exercise any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement. A
waiver regarding a breach of a provision of this Agreement is not to be
construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of that provision,
a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right, power, or remedy
under this Agreement.
22. SURVIVAL. All agreements,
representations, and warranties made in this Agreement or made in writing
pursuant to this Agreement will survive the termination or execution and
delivery of this Agreement and the consummation of the transactions contemplated
herein and hereby.
23. SEVERABILITY. If any provision
of this Agreement is contrary to, prohibited by, or deemed invalid under
applicable laws or regulations, only that provision will be deemed omitted to
the extent it is contrary, prohibited, or invalid, and the remainder of the
Agreement will be given full force and effect so long as the Agreement does not
then fail in its essential purpose or purposes. The Parties agree that they will
negotiate in good faith to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision or
provisions with suitable provisions to maintain the economic purposes and
intentions of this Agreement.
24. BINDING EFFECT. The terms and
provisions of this Agreement are binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of
the Parties, their respective legal representatives, successors, and permitted
assigns.
25. AMENDMENTS; SCHEDULES. This
Agreement and the Schedules annexed hereto may only be amended by a writing that
makes specific reference to this Agreement and that is signed by the Party
against whom enforcement is sought.
26. ASSIGNMENT. Licensee shall not
assign this Agreement, or delegate its obligations hereunder without first
having received Licensor’s consent thereto.
27. AUTHORITY AND LEGAL
COMPLIANCE. Licensor represents and warrants that it has the full and
unrestricted legal authority to enter into and perform all of its obligations as
set forth herein and further that it shall comply with all applicable laws,
rules and regulations applicable to this Agreement and its relationship with
Licensee.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the
Parties have executed this Agreement effective as of the day and year written
above.
