Neither party may assign this Agreement or any of its rights or delegate any obligations hereunder (including without limitation rights and duties of performance) to any other third party or entity, and this Agreement may not be involuntarily assigned or assigned by operation of law, without the prior written consent of the non-assigning party, which consent may be given or withheld by such non-assigning party in the sole exercise of its discretion, except that either party may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other party as part of: (i) any transfer of 50% or more of its outstanding voting capital stock; or (ii) any transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of such party in a single transaction. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section will be null and void. This Agreement shall be binding upon the parties and inure to the benefit of the parties’ successors and permitted assigns

13.2 Relationship of Parties. Manufacturer and immix perform this Agreement as independent contractors. Each party has the sole obligations to supervise, manage, contract, direct, procure, perform or cause to be performed its obligations set forth in this Agreement, except as may otherwise be agreed upon in writing by the parties.

13.3 Confidentiality. Each party agrees not to use any confidential information of the other party (whether oral or written) except in performance of this Agreement and not to disclose such information to third parties (other than, as determined by the receiving party in good faith, those persons with a genuine “need to know” and who agree to similarly limit the use and disclosure of the information, such as attorneys and accountants). “Confidential information” shall mean all information clearly identified as such by the disclosing party or such other information which should be reasonably understood under the circumstances to be confidential given the nature of the information. With respect to both parties hereto, for the purposes hereof, confidential information shall not include any information that: (1) is now or becomes in the public domain through no breach of this Agreement; (2) is in the possession of the receiving party as of the date of execution hereof; (3) is independently learned by the receiving party from a third party without breach of this Agreement; (4) is required by law or order of a court (in which case the other party shall be promptly notified before disclosure), administrative agency or other governmental body to be disclosed by the receiving party; or (5) is disclosed by the receiving party more than three years after that party’s receipt of such information.

Either party shall have the right in its good faith discretion to make such public press releases, announcements or other communications as it reasonably believes are necessary to comply with applicable federal and state securities or other laws and the regulations promulgated by the National Association of Securities Dealers (“NASD”) and/or appropriate securities exchanges, as the case may be, but only to the extent of not divulging any confidential information of the other party. immix acknowledges and agrees that Manufacturer may, without having to obtain the prior consent of immix and without having to provide immix with prior notice, file this Agreement with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission and with all applicable securities exchanges and regulator agencies if required to do so by law.

13.4 Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement, and for a period of six (6) months after termination of this Agreement neither party shall solicit for employment any employee of the other party, provided, however, the foregoing covenant will not apply to employees who independently respond to general pubic solicitations (such as general newspaper advertisements, employment agency referrals and internet postings) not targeting such employees.

13.5 Notices. All notices, directives, request or other written communications required or permitted to be given or sent by this Agreement, shall be deemed given if mailed first class, postage paid or sent by facsimile, and if addressed as follows:

received by it. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the parties may separately agree to exchange Orders via electronic mail and other means of communication.

13.6 Severability. If any term, provision, covenant, or condition of this Agreement is held by a court or board of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable for any reason, the remainder of the provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect as if this Agreement had been executed with the invalid portion(s) eliminated, and such term, provision, covenant or condition shall be amended to achieve as nearly as possible the same economic effect as the original term, provision, covenant or condition.

13.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including any separately executed Fee Schedules, constitute the entire understanding and agreement of and between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous representations and agreements with respect to the subject matter hereof. This Agreement shall not be varied by any oral agreements or representations or otherwise except by an instrument in writing duly executed by authorized representatives of the parties. In the event the terms contained within an Addendum vary or conflict with the terms stated in the Agreement above, the terms and conditions contained in the Addendum shall control for all Orders placed under the referenced opportunity or GWAC subsequent to the date of the Addendum. The Section and paragraph headings herein are for convenience only and shall not limit in any way the scope of any provisions of this Agreement.

13.8 Nonwaiver of Rights. The failure of either party to insist upon strict performance of any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any rights or remedies shall not be construed as a waiver of its right to assert any of the same or to rely on any such terms and conditions at any time thereafter.

13.9 Force Majeure. Neither Manufacturer nor immix shall be deemed in default if its performance of obligations hereunder (other than payments of amounts due) is delayed or becomes impossible or impractical by reason of any act of God, war, fire, earthquake, strike, epidemic, or any other cause beyond such party’s reasonable control.

13.10 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two or more counterparts which may be provided by electronic mail in PDF format, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

13.11 Survival. The terms and conditions set forth in Sections 3, 10, 11 and 13 shall survive any termination of this Agreement for any reason whatsoever.

13.12 Prior Agreement. Parent and Manufacturer agree that following execution of this Agreement that all orders outstanding as of the Effective Date under that certain Government Reseller Agreement, dated October 8, 2002, as amended, by and between Manufacturer and immixTechnology, Inc., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Parent (the “Prior Agreement”), shall be honored and processed in accordance with the terms of the Prior Agreement. Once such outstanding orders have been fulfilled, Parent shall cause immixTechnology, Inc. to enter into an agreement with Manufacturer to terminate the Prior Agreement.

13.13 Parent’s Obligations. Parent is only a party to this Agreement with respect to Section 2.6 and Section 13.12, and not with respect to any other terms or conditions of this Agreement, all of which other terms and conditions hereof are of no force or effect with regard to Parent.
