4
its plant in Longmont, Colorado. MYT agrees to undertake reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, at its expense, to work with DT in designing, installing, debugging and Qualifying the FOL, MOL and EOL manufacturing processes in Longmont. It is expected that MYT's work and assistance to DT in designing and installing the Longmont FOL, MOL and EOL manufacturing processes will provide MYT with valuable information and experience in regard to designing FOL, MOL and EOL manufacturing processes in Nagano, Japan. The goal for DT's Longmont manufacturing facility is for a Manual, dependable, and stable manufacturing process. The Parties acknowledge that the Longmont FOL, MOL and EOL manufacturing processes may not have high Yield Rates, and that such processes may not be replicated at MYT's manufacturing facility in Nagano, Japan.
4.3 Cost of Longmont Plant. DT shall bear the entire cost of the equipment, tooling and materials used for the installation and operation of the FOL, MOL and EOL manufacturing processes at its Longmont plant. DT shall own all such equipment, materials and tooling, as well as the design of the manufacturing process. DT will be responsible for the cost of operation of its Longmont facility.
4.4 Operation of Longmont Plant. The target date for completing Qualification and beginning full scale operation of the Longmont FOL, MOL and EOL manufacturing processes is May 1, 1999. It is expected that by such date DT will begin full scale production of Semi-Finished Products. The Semi-Finished Products will be shipped to MYT's plant in Nagano for EOL processing, as described below. DT will be responsible for Yield and quality of the Semi-Finished Products assembled at its Longmont plant.
4.5 MYT's EOL Manufacturing Process in Nagano. MYT agrees that during the period of January through April 1999 it will design, install, and debug an EOL manufacturing process for Products at its existing facility in Nagano, Japan, which has an initial capacity as set forth in Section 4.6. DT agrees to work with MYT in designing, installing, debugging, and Qualifying MYT's EOL manufacturing processes in Nagano, and the expenses incurred by DT in Nagano shall be borne solely by DT.
4.6 Capacity of EOL Manufacturing Processes. The initial capacity of the manufacturing line for the EOL manufacturing process will be determined prior to ordering long lead time equipment for the EOL process, and shall be based on the highest monthly total in DT's initial nine (9) month Product demand forecast as provided in Section 5.3 below, plus twenty percent (20%).
4.7 Cost of Nagano EOL Manufacturing Process. MYT shall bear the entire cost of the equipment, tooling and materials used for the installation of the EOL manufacturing process for Products at its Nagano plant. MYT shall own all such equipment, materials and tooling. MYT will be responsible for all costs of operation of its EOL manufacturing process at its Nagano facility.
4.8 Qualification and Operation of Nagano EOL Manufacturing Processes. The target date for having MYT's EOL manufacturing process capable of initial production is May 1, 1999. Completion of Qualification and full scale production of MYT's EOL manufacturing process is expected to be no later than July 1, 1999. MYT will notify DT of the time MYT believes the EOL manufacturing process is ready for Qualification, and DT, after receipt of such notice, will conduct an inspection of the manufacturing line as a condition to Qualification. MYT will be responsible for compliance with the standards set forth in this Agreement with respect to the Yield and quality of the Finished Products it produces from its EOL manufacturing process.
4.9 MYT's FOL and MOL Manufacturing Processes in Nagano. MYT agrees that during the period of January through July 1, 1999, based in part on its experience working with DT to design and install a manufacturing line at Longmont for FOL and MOL manufacturing processes, it will work with DT to design a manufacturing line for FOL and MOL manufacturing processes at MYT's plant in Nagano, Japan. Such manufacturing line will be based in part on the technology and know-how developed by DT with MYT's help for the Longmont FOL and MOL manufacturing processes.
5
Beginning February 1, 1999 MYT agrees to discuss with DT at least monthly MYT's assessment of the design and operation of the FOL and MOL manufacturing processes to be installed at DT's Longmont facility in relation to use of the same or a similar design at MYT's facility in Nagano. By July 1, 1999 MYT agrees to make a decision as to whether or not to order long lead time equipment for the Nagano FOL manufacturing process based on MYT's and DT's assessment of the Longmont FOL process. In assessing the Longmont FOL process MYT and DT will take into consideration the stability of the process as related to current Yield, and the stability of the process as related to the trend in Yields. If MYT and DT agree that the Longmont FOL process is not yet stable enough to predict commercially viable Yields, and that more work is needed on the Longmont FOL process, then they agree to use their best efforts until August 31, 1999 to improve such process. If, on August 31, 1999, the Parties cannot agree that the Longmont FOL process is stable enough to predict commercially viable Yields, and MYT decides not to order long lead time equipment for its Nagano plant, then either Party may terminate this Agreement as it relates to MYT performing FOL and MOL manufacturing processes for DT in Nagano, by giving the other Party thirty (30) days written notice of such termination. If either Party gives such notice of termination, then MYT agrees that it will continue to perform EOL manufacturing services for DT's Products in Nagano; provided, however, because DT would have to seek another manufacturer to perform MYT's FOL and MOL operations, DT's obligations hereunder related to using MYT exclusively to manufacture Products, and its obligation to sell Private Label Products exclusively to MYT, shall also be terminated. If the Parties agree that MYT should order the long lead time equipment for the FOL Manufacturing process in Nagano, then during the period October 1, 1999 through March 1, 2000 MYT agrees to complete installation of and debug its manufacturing line for FOL and MOL manufacturing processes, and to complete Qualification of such line by March 31, 2000, with full scale production beginning April 1, 2000. MYT will notify DT of the date MYT believes the FOL and MOL manufacturing processes are ready for Qualification, and DT, after receipt of such notice, will conduct an inspection of the manufacturing line as a condition to Qualification. MYT will have responsibility for compliance with the standards set forth in this Agreement with respect to Yield and quality of Products produced at its Nagano facility.
4.10 Capacity of FOL and MOL Manufacturing Processes. The initial capacity of the manufacturing line for the FOL and MOL manufacturing process will be determined prior to ordering long lead time equipment for the FOL and MOL manufacturing processes, and shall be based on the highest monthly total of DT's most recent (prior to the order time) nine (9) month Product demand forecast as provided in Section 6.2 below, plus twenty percent (20%).
4.11 Changes to Capacity. If, as a result of DT's Product demand forecasts and purchase orders, DT and MYT, after discussion, agree that the manufacturing line at Nagano, or any part thereof, should be changed to increase its capacity, then DT will give MYT written notice that the change needs to be made, and MYT will make the change within six (6) months of the date of the written notice by adding capital equipment at its expense. If DT's Product demand forecasts indicate that DT's Product demand will exceed the capacity of the manufacturing line at Nagano, but that such forecasts will not require the addition of capital equipment, DT and MYT will discuss alternative methods of meeting capacity demand, such as 1) increasing workers' hours (overtime), 2) adding workers, 3) adding shifts, or 4) streamlining the manufacturing process. After discussion, the Parties will agree (and each Party agrees not to unreasonably withhold its agreement) on which alternative or alternatives should be undertaken, and MYT will thereafter use its best efforts to implement such alternative(s) as quickly as possible, but in no event longer than one (1) month for alternative 1), and two (2) months for alternatives 2) through 4) after the date of agreement of the Parties.
5. INITIAL MANUFACTURING SERVICES.
5.1 EOL Manufacturing Services at MYT's Nagano Plant. The initial manufacturing services performed by MYT for DT will consist of EOL processing in Nagano of Semi-Finished Products
6
supplied by DT from its Longmont plant. MYT will perform such EOL processing in order to produce Finished Products for delivery to DT or, at DT's direction, to its customers.
5.2 Forecasts and Orders.
5.2.1 Forecasts. As soon as reasonably possible after execution of this Agreement by the Parties, and to the extent it is able to do so, DT will furnish to MYT a written, non-binding forecast of the quantity and type of each Product DT expects to sell to its customers over the next nine (9) months. This forecast will be updated monthly thereafter on or before the fifth day of such month. After DT and MYT have established the Product ordering procedures in accordance with Section 5.2.2 below, and at a time in 1999 to be determined by the Parties, DT will issue an irrevocable purchase order to MYT for Product listed in the forecast in accordance with the Product ordering procedures agreed upon by the Parties..
5.2.2 Orders. The Parties agree to cooperate and work diligently to establish ordering procedures for the Products manufactured hereunder, which procedures shall be set forth in a schedule which is attached hereto as Schedule 5.2, Product Ordering Procedures. The Parties anticipate there may be distinct ordering procedures for the three separate manufacturing phases provided for hereunder: (i) where DT performs FOL and MOL manufacturing processing in Longmont and MYT performs EOL manufacturing processing in Nagano, (ii) where MYT has Qualified its FOL and MOL manufacturing processes in Nagano, but DT supplies Semi Finished Products and/or materials and component parts to MYT from it Longmont plant, and (iii) where MYT purchases materials and component parts directly from suppliers. Such procedures shall be based on and coordinated with DT's and MYT's contract obligations to its materials and component parts suppliers, the lead times for such materials and component parts, and the lead time requirements of DT's customers. Product orders will also be based on the forecasts set forth in Section 5.2.1 above, and the Parties expect that such orders will be made on a weekly basis. Each Party agrees to keep each other informed of the status of its orders for materials and component parts for the Products, particularly orders for silicon wafers. All suppliers to MYT must be approved in advance in writing by DT. Any purchase order issued in accordance with the Product ordering procedures will state lead times for the Product type, quantity, delivery date or dates, delivery instructions and price per unit of the Finished Product ordered. Notwithstanding Section 5.3 following, MYT will be bound by the provisions of the purchase order issued by DT, regardless of whether MYT acknowledges or otherwise signs the purchase order, unless MYT reasonably objects to such provision in writing.
5.3 Acceptance and Acknowledgement. MYT will accept each purchase order issued by DT within seven (7) days of issuance (unless such purchase order exceeds by more than twenty five percent (25%) the number of units of the covered Product as set forth in the forecast for the applicable time period), and will acknowledge in writing the receipt and acceptance of each such purchase order, and will confirm delivery dates for quantities of Finished products that are the subject of the purchase order. If the quantity of Product ordered for any month exceeds the forecasted number of units for that Product for such month by more than twenty five percent (25%), then the Parties agree to discuss supply of such excess number of units. In any event, MYT will acknowledge and accept DT's purchase order for the maximum quantity of Product authorized, that is, one hundred twenty five percent (125%) of the forecasted amount. In the event of any discrepancy between (1) the provisions set forth in this Agreement and (2) any purchase order, purchase order confirmation or acknowledgement, invoice, or other communication between the Parties relating to a purchase order, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
5.4 Supply of Semi-Finished Product by DT. DT agrees to timely supply sufficient quantities and types of Semi-Finished Products to MYT to enable MYT to process and timely deliver the quantities and types of Finished Products ordered by DT. A complete list of the materials and component parts
7
for each type of Semi-Finished Product that is necessary for the assembly of Finished Products ordered by DT is or will be set forth in a schedule which is attached hereto as Schedule 5.4, Materials and Component Parts. The Semi-Finished Products shall be processed, inspected and electrically tested at DT's Longmont factory before being shipped to MYT.
5.5 Cost of Semi-Finished Products. DT shall not charge MYT for the Semi-Finished Products shipped for EOL processing by MYT. DT shall be responsible for all costs related to shipping the Semi-Finished Products to MYT's Nagano plant, including shipping, insurance, and any import or export duties applicable to shipment of the Semi-Finished Products to MYT. MYT agrees to notify DT of any necessary taxes, and import or export duties which are applicable to shipment of the Semi-Finished Products to MYT.
5.6 Other Terms. All other terms related to full scale manufacturing services, as set forth below, shall apply to the initial EOL manufacturing services provided by MYT under this Article 5.

6.12 Covenants Relating to HP.
6.12.1 Obligations to HP. HP and DT have an agreement relating to the sale of the Products for use in digital still cameras ("DSCs"). Pursuant to such agreement, DT has agreed to supply MYT with sufficient FLC materials to support HP's forecast for the purchase of Finished Products through calendar year 2004. In furtherance of the foregoing, DT will train MYT on the process used to store such FLC materials. MYT hereby agrees to hold such FLC materials in trust for DT and HP and use such FLC materials solely for the manufacturing of Products ordered by HP. In addition, at the request of HP, MYT hereby agrees to sell Products for use in DSCs directly to HP under the terms and conditions set forth on Schedule 6.12, HP Pricing, as amended from time to time, to HP as a second source of supply.
6.12.2 Audit Rights. HP or any person designated by HP (other than direct competitors of MYT) shall have the right to visit MYT's manufacturing facilities and the Line during normal business hours and to inspect MYT's operation relating to the manufacture of Finished Products for use in DSCs being sold to HP only. HP or its authorized representatives shall have the right to inspect all incoming materials, inventory and Finished Products for conformity to the Product specifications and quality standards (as all of such relate to the manufacture of Finished Products for use in DSCs being sold to HP only); provided that such inspection shall not unreasonably disrupt MYT's operations; and provided further that HP or any person designated by HP agrees that it will keep in confidence any information it comes to know in the course of the inspection and will not use such information for any purpose other than the inspection and the possible recommendation to MYT of a corrective action. Any such inspections prior to delivery of any Finished Products to HP shall not constitute final acceptance by DT or HP. MYT agrees to implement within a reasonable time all mutually agreed corrective action recommended by HP or its representatives to MYT.
6.12.3 Pricing. To the extent that HP uses MYT as a second source of supply, MYT agrees to maintain the same supply volume to HP as committed to DT for the sale of Finished Products to HP at the then current price in effect at the time of any order of such Products by HP in accordance with Section 6.12.1 when DT is unable to supply to HP. If DT is able to supply to HP, and HP requests Miyota to sell directly to HP, then Miyota will charge HP [*****].
6.12.4 Agreement with HP. MYT agrees to use its best efforts to negotiate an agreement with HP confirming MYT's responsibilities as a second source of supply contemplated under this Section 6.12.
4. Section 17 of the Original Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(a) Section 17.8 shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall be inserted in lieu thereof:
17.8 Assignment. Except for the sale or transfer by DT of all or substantially all of its assets, a sale of a majority ownership in DT's capital stock, DT's merger into another company, or any assignment by DT of all or part of this Agreement to an Affiliate, this Agreement shall not be assigned (by contract, operation of law or change of control) by either Party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably delayed or withheld. Any assignment to which consent is given shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of, and be enforceable by and against, the assignee and any successors and assigns of the assignee. DT agrees to give MYT reasonable notice of the sale
2
or transfer by DT of all or substantially all of its assets, a sale of a majority ownership in DT's capital stock, DT's merger into another company or any assignment to an Affiliate of DT; however, failure to give such notice shall not prevent DT from consummating such sale, transfer or merger.
(b) A new Section 17.10 shall be added as follows:
17.10 Governing Language. The Parties acknowledge and agree that this Agreement has been entered into in the English language, which language shall govern in all respects. Any translation of this Agreement shall be for convenience only and shall not be binding upon the Parties. All written communications between the Parties shall be in English, including, but not limited to, written communications relating to changes or modifications in the manufacturing processes for the Products as contemplated under Section 2.4 of this Agreement.
5. Schedules. Schedule 6.12, HP Pricing (which Schedule is attached hereto) shall be attached to the Original Agreement.
6. Amendment No. 4. The Parties hereby agree to use best efforts to negotiate a definitive Amendment No. 4 to the Original Agreement by March 30, 2003. Amendment No. 4 will address (i) the use of MYT's manufacturing facilities for third parties, (ii) licenses and assignments of certain intellectual property necessary to permit such activities and to protect the Parties in the event of bankruptcy and other circumstances, and (iii) additional amendments that are necessary to clarify the Original Agreement, to comply with certain legal requirements, to update the Schedules and to enable DT to make certain certifications relating to government grants.
7. Conflict. If any conflict should arise between the terms and provisions of this Amendment and the Original Agreement, this Amendment shall govern.
8. No Other Amendments. Except as amended hereby, the Original Agreement shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with its original terms.
9. Counterparts. This Amendment may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute an original and all of which, when taken together, shall constitute one and the same document. Executed counterparts sent by facsimile or by other means of transmission shall be effective as originals.

2. Use of Manufacturing Facilities. A new Section 2.7 shall be added to the Original Agreement as follows:
2.7 Use of Manufacturing Facilities.
2.7.1 Use of Manufacturing Facilities.
(a) Except as expressly permitted in Sections 2.7.1(b) and 6.12, MYT agrees not to use the Line or any DT intellectual Property for any purpose except for the manufacture of the Products and, subject to Sections 2.7.1(c) and 11.1.3, the PLPs.
(b) Subject to the limitations set forth in Section 2.7.1(c) subject to Sections 3.4, 4.11, 6, 10 and 11, MYT may use the Line and its other manufacturing facilities to manufacture products for or on behalf of third parties; provided that, MYT shall notify DT in writing of the names of such third parties and the types of products manufactured
2
for or on behalf of such third parties twice a year; by the end of June and December every year.
(c) Unless otherwise agreed to by the Parties and subject Section 11, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter, MYT agrees not to use the Line, the DT Intellectual Property or its other manufacturing facilities to manufacture any Competitive Product nor shall MYT or any of its Affiliates participate, directly or indirectly, in the design, manufacture or sale of any Competitive Product. In the event MYT is manufacturing a product or device designed to perform substantially similar function as, or be a substitute or replacement for, the Products, DT and MYT shall discuss in good faith whether MYT should continue to manufacture and sell such product or device, provided however that, in any event, subject always to Section 2.7.3, MYT may manufacture and sell such product unless and until DT and MYT reach an agreement that MYT cease to manufacture and sell such product or device (in which case MYT may continue to manufacture and sell such product or device until the expiration of the then current term of the applicable manufacturing agreement, or as the Parties otherwise agree) or until the expiration of the then current term of the applicable manufacturing agreement. MYT covenants and agrees not to enter into any agreement with a third party for the manufacture of any product or device (regardless of whether it is a Competitive Product) requiring the use of the Line or any DT Intellectual Property for a term of more than three (3) years and covenants and agrees not to enter into any contract or agreement in conflict with the provisions of this Agreement. The scope and effect of the covenants contained in this Section 2.7.1(c) shall be as broad as may be permitted pursuant to the provisions of applicable law. To the extent that the language of this subsection may restrict competition to a greater extent than that permitted by applicable law, it shall be effective only to the extent permitted by applicable law.
2.7.2 Royalty; Line Access Fee. In return for the license granted in Section 11.1, MYT shall pay to DT a royalty [*****] (payable in U.S. dollars) of all gross revenue (as determined in accordance with generally acceptable accounting principles in the United States, consistently applied), recognized by MYT as a result of using FOL or MOL or any DT Intellectual Property in the manufacture or sales of non-FLC micro-display products (except the Products), which are manufactured using FOL or MOL. In the event that MYT manufactures products or devices using FOL or MOL pursuant to an agreement, understanding or arrangement ("Arrangement") (such as, among other things an arrangement involving a division of profits or special rebates or allowances) with an Affiliate or with any third party with which MYT or any Affiliate of MYT has such an Arrangement and which Arrangement results in extending to such Affiliate or third party lower prices, fees or rates than those charged to DT or other concerns buying similar products in similar amounts and under similar conditions, then the royalties to be paid hereunder with respect to such products or devices shall be based on the gross sales price at which the purchaser of such products or devices so resells such products or devices.
For purposes of this Section 2.7.2, "gross revenue" shall not include the following: (i) sales, use and/or other taxes or duties actually paid, (ii) normal and customary rebates, and cash and trade discounts, actually taken, (iii) cost of any shipping packages and packing, (iv) insurance costs and transportation charges, (v) import and/or export duties actually paid, and (vi) amounts allowed credited due to return, all of such items set forth in subsections (i)-(vi) shall itemized, to the extent applicable, on MYT's written report to DT under Section 2.7.2(a).
(a) Within 30 days of the end of each calendar quarter following any use of the Line or any DT Intellectual Property pursuant to the license in Section 11.1, MYT shall
3
furnish DT with a written report setting forth the revenue it recognized from the use of the Line or any DT Intellectual Property by third parties during the previous period and the computation of the royalties payable with respect thereto. Each report shall be accompanied by the amount due (in U.S. dollars) for that period, if any.
(b) MYT shall keep accurate records in sufficient detail to enable royalties payable to DT hereunder to be determined and it shall permit such records to be inspected once per calendar quarter upon written notice by DT, during reasonable business hours, by DT, a certified public accountant or firm of certified public accountants appointed by DT, or any other advisor of DT, at DT's expense, to the extent necessary to verify the amount of royalties payable hereunder to DT.
(c) All royalties or other amounts called for by this Agreement shall be made without deduction for taxes, assessments, or other charges of any kind which may be imposed on the Parties by the government of the Japan or any other government or political subdivision of any government, and such taxes, assessments, or other charges shall be the responsibility of and paid by MYT. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any income or other tax that MYT is required to withhold on behalf of DT with respect to the royalties owed pursuant to this Agreement shall be deducted by MYT from the royalties prior to remittance. Within 60 days after each payment of royalties to DT, MYT shall furnish to DT evidence of any such taxes withheld.
(d) The United States currency payments under this Agreement shall be determined on the basis of the Official Rate of Exchange, as quoted by the Wall Street Journal, New York, New York, U.S.A., on the date (or closest preceding business day) that such payment is due; provided that, if such exchange rate is not quoted in the Wall Street Journal, the closing transfer buying rates quoted by Citibank, N.A. in New York, New York, U.S.A., shall be employed in effecting such conversion.
2.7.3 Capacity. MYT acknowledges and agrees that its manufacturing activities on behalf of third parties [*****], shall not interrupt or in any way interfere with its capacity to manufacture Products to fulfill the requirements of DT and HP as set forth herein. DT shall be entitled to priority for manufacturing capacity to manufacture Products, including Products for PLPs, to fulfill the requirements of DT and HP before MYT or any other customer of MYT. In the event that MYT is unable to fulfill DT's and HP's requirements for the Products as set forth herein for any 60-day period, DT, at its option, may require MYT to cease manufacturing operations on behalf of MYT or any of its other customers (including all manufacturing relating to the PLP) and DT may, at its option, secure other means to fulfill its volume requirements.
3. Access to Manufacturing Facilities. A new Section 2.8 shall be added to the Original Agreement as follows:
2.8 Access to Manufacturing Facilities.
2.8.1 DT's Access. DT or any person designated by DT (other than direct competitors of MYT) shall have the right to visit MYT's manufacturing facilities and the Line during normal business hours and to inspect MYT's operation relating to the performance of its obligations hereunder. DT or its authorized representatives shall have the right to inspect all incoming materials, inventory, Finished Products for conformity to the Product specifications and quality standards provided that such inspection shall not unreasonably disrupt MYT's operations. Any such inspections and/or payments prior to delivery of any Finished Products shall not constitute final acceptance by DT. MYT agrees to implement within a reasonable time all mutually agreed corrective action recommended by DT or its representative to MYT.
4
In addition, MYT agrees to xxxxx XX reasonable access to the reports, records and other documents relating to the manufacture of the Products, including copies of all inspection and other reports by governmental regulatory agencies.
2.8.2 Third Part Access. During the term of this Agreement, MYT may grant access to the Line to a third party for or on behalf of which MYT manufactures products using the Line, provided that the confidentiality obligations of MYT under Section 12 shall be in full force and effect and provided further that, prior to such third party's access, MYT shall require that such third party execute a confidentiality agreement no less restrictive than the confidentiality obligations set forth in Section 12. Notwithstanding the foregoing, MYT shall not permit any third party that sells, manufactures, distributes or otherwise markets any Competitive Product (as further detailed on Schedule 1.C, Competitive Products) access to the Line and for all purposes of this Agreement and any confidentiality agreement entered into with third parties, all information relating to the Line and the Products, whether disclosed orally or in writing, shall be deemed to be Confidential Information.
4. Finished Products. The following shall be inserted after the last sentence in Section 6.5 of the Original Agreement:
MYT will use its best efforts to manufacture and sell to DT all quantities of the Product ordered by DT and HP in accordance with the Product order schedule. If the requested quantities of the Products are not met due to down time on the Line, use of the Line or other manufacturing facilities for third parties or itself or any failures under MYT's control and responsibility, MYT will take measures, at its cost, to make up the shortages. If shortages are due in any way to conditions solely caused by DT, DT will provide direction on whether and how to make up the shortage and will be responsible for any associated incremental cost.
5. Price. The following shall be inserted after the last sentence in Section 7.1 of the Original Agreement:
MYT agrees that overhead costs paid by DT shall not [*****]. MYT further agrees that deductions shall be made to the cost of the Products [*****]. MYT covenants and agrees that the prices, rates, charges or fees used in the determination of its manufacturing costs for the price of the Products in accordance with Section 7.1 are not less favorable than those currently and in the future extended to other customers, or to MYT's Affiliates, for similar manufacturing activities and quantities. DT shall automatically have the benefit of any lower prices, rates, charges or fees provided to MYT's other customers, or to its Affiliates (based on sales volumes similar to or more than that of MYT's other customers and Affiliates), using the Line and its manufacturing facilities in accordance with Section 2.7.1. MYT agrees to use best efforts to purchase materials from vendors and suppliers who can supply materials for MYT's manufacturing activities on behalf of DT and on behalf of itself, its Affiliates or third parties, in order to provide additional cost savings to DT as a result of higher volume discounts. The prices charged to DT by MYT for such materials shall be not less favorable than the prices charged by MYT to third parties or its Affiliates for such materials where volumes are similar to MYT's customers' or its Affiliates' volumes.

6. Exclusive Agreement. Section 10 of the Original Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(a) Section 10.1 shall be deleted in its entirety and the following shall be inserted in lieu thereof:
10.1 DT. Except as expressly permitted in Sections 2.7 and 3.1 and except for manufacturing Products on its own manufacturing line in Longmont, Colorado, DT will not manufacture or have a third party manufacture Products during the term of this Agreement or any renewal thereof. Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event of a breach or default by MYT under this Agreement that remains uncured for a period of 60 days after notice thereof from DT or if DT elects to seek a second source of supply or to find a new distributor under Sections 2.7 and 3.1, at DT's option, and in addition to all of DT's other rights and remedies hereunder, this Agreement shall become non-exclusive with respect to DT's obligations to MYT only and DT may manufacture and sell any Products (including the PLPs) itself or through any third party (and all minimum purchase requirements under Section 9 shall terminate) and DT may supply FLC materials to any third party to manufacture the Products; provided, however, MYT shall continue to be bound by all of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. To the extent that DT elects to use a second source of supply under this Section 10.1 and so long as this Agreement has not expired or been terminated, if MYT cures any breach or default after the 60 cure period set forth above (provided, however, this clause shall not create any additional cure rights for a breach or default by MYT) and MYT is able to fulfill DT's pricing, capacity, quality and other requirements under the terms of this Agreement by the third anniversary date of DT's election to contract with a second source of supply and to maintain a non-exclusive relationship with MYT, then DT shall agree to convert this Agreement back to an exclusive manufacturing relationship for the remainder of the term of this Agreement.

Some of the foregoing restrictions may not apply to DT under the particular laws of the jurisdiction which DT operates, in which case such restrictions shall not apply to the extent prohibited by or in conflict with such applicable law. Except as provided in Section 11.2 above, MYT grants no rights or licenses to DT, by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, in or to the MYT Intellectual Property. All rights not expressly granted to DT hereunder are reserved by MYT.
11.5 Joint Intellectual Property. Any and all Joint Intellectual Property shall be subject to the following provisions:
11.5.1 Ownership.
(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, all Joint Intellectual Property shall be owned jointly and equally by MYT and DT. Each Party hereby acknowledges and agrees that, except as otherwise set forth expressly below, the Parties each own an equal undivided interest in and to any and all Joint Intellectual Property, subject to the rights and obligations set forth herein.
(b) To the extent either Party has or acquires any greater right, title or interest in or to the Joint Intellectual Property than the other Party, the Party having such greater interest hereby assigns, to the other Party, such rights as necessary to effectuate the joint ownership set forth in Section 11.5.1.(a).
(c) Patent applications covering Joint Intellectual Property and patents issuing thereon, applications for copyright registration for any Joint Intellectual Property, and any and all extensions, divisions, renewals, reissues and continuations of any and each of the foregoing will be filed and prosecuted by counsel selected by DT and MYT and maintained jointly and equally by DT and MYT, and both Parties will bear fifty percent (50%) of all costs and expenses of and shall cooperate with each other with respect to applying for, prosecuting, filing, obtaining, maintaining, renewing and continuing such patents and copyrights for all Joint Intellectual Property. In the event one Party discontinues funding any of such costs or
8
expenses with respect to Joint Intellectual Property, that Party shall lose the rights granted under this Section 11.5 for that portion of the Joint Intellectual Property until such time that it reimburses the other Party for those costs the non-paying Party did not share equally. In such an event, the other Party may undertake to acquire such patent or copyright with respect to the Joint Intellectual Property at its sole expense and shall have full control over the prosecution, registration and maintenance thereof (as the case may be), in which case the non-paying Party will have no rights in such Joint Intellectual Property and shall not be entitled to any share of any profits, royalties or other amounts attributable to such Joint Intellectual Property. In connection with obtaining and maintaining patent or copyright protection for any invention that may be related to Joint Intellectual Property, regardless of which Party has ownership rights, the Parties shall cooperate with each other, during and subsequent to the term of this Agreement, by executing and delivering all documents reasonably necessary to carry out the intent of this Section 11.5.
11.5.2 Use of Joint Intellectual Property. Subject to and without limiting Section 11.5.1, each of DT and MYT may make, use, sell, offer to sell, import, copy, modify, distribute, make a derivative work or otherwise practice or exploit any Joint Intellectual Property without having any obligation to the other Party. DT and MYT each hereby waive all rights to an accounting for profits resulting from either Party's use of the Joint Intellectual Property.
11.5.3 Enforcement. Prior to commencing any action or placing in issue in a legal proceeding against a third party concerning the validity, scope, infringement or enforceability of any Joint Intellectual Property, DT or MYT, as the case may be, shall notify the other Party of the matter. Consent by the other Party to proceed with the action shall not be required, provided that the Party taking the action shall not unnecessarily compromise the other Party's interest in the Joint Intellectual Property, and shall permit the other Party at its election and expense to join the action if permitted by law. All amounts obtained during such enforcement of any Joint Intellectual Property shall belong to the Party initiating such enforcement action, provided that the enforcing Party shall deliver the other Party a pro-rata share of such amounts in proportion to the extent (if any) the other Party shared in the costs of such enforcement action.
9
11.5.4 Employees and Consultants. Each Party shall maintain agreements with its employees and consultants sufficient to enable such Party to comply with its obligations under this Section 11.5.
11.6 Indemnification.
11.6.1 MYT Indemnification. MYT shall pay all costs relating to any claim that any Permitted Use (as defined below) of the Joint intellectual Property infringes the right of any third party and MYT shall indemnify, defend and hold DT and its shareholders, Affiliates, employees, officers, directors and contractors harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, judgments, awards, damages and costs (including attorneys' fees, experts' fees and expenses) in any claim or suit arising out of an allegation that the Joint Intellectual Property (or any Permitted Use thereof, including, without limitation, incorporating such Joint Intellectual Property into a Product or manufacturing process, or the sale, offer for sale or importation of such Product) infringes any third party's rights including, without limitation, any Intellectual Property rights, or violates any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental authority or agency.
For purposes of this Agreement, "Permitted Use" shall mean any use of the Joint Intellectual Property (i) in any application currently used by MYT or DT at the time such Joint Intellectual Property was developed (including, without limitation, incorporating such Joint Intellectual Property into any Product or manufacturing process, or the sale, offer for sale or importation of such Product) or any other uses that are not materially different from such applications, or (ii) any other use of the Joint Intellectual Property after notification to MYT of such use if MYT confirms that such use does not infringe any third party's Intellectual Property rights, or violate any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental authority or agency.
11.6.2 DT Indemnification. DT shall pay all costs relating to any claim that the DT intellectual Property infringes the right of any third party and DT shall indemnify, defend, and hold MYT and its shareholders, Affiliates, employees, officers, directors and contractors harmless from and against any and all losses, liabilities, judgments, awards, damages and costs (including attorneys' fees, experts' fees and expenses) in any claim or suit arising out of an allegation that the DT Intellectual Property used pursuant to Sections 11.1.2 and 11.1.3 infringes any third party's rights including, without limitation, any Intellectual Property rights or violates any applicable law, rule or regulation of any governmental authority or agency.
11.7 Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement by one Party to the other are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to "intellectual property" as defined under Section 101 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. Subject to all of the terms, conditions and obligations of this Agreement, the Parties agree that the licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the United States Bankruptcy Code.
8. Termination. Section 16 is hereby amended as follows:

10
(b) Section 16.2 shall be deleted in its entirety and the following is hereby inserted in lieu thereof:
16.2 Termination for Breach of Intellectual Property Rights. Each Party acknowledges that (i) any misuse of any of the other Party's Intellectual Property, (ii) any violation of the licenses granted under this Agreement, or (iii) any disclosure of the other Party's Confidential Information is likely to cause serious and irreparable harm, the amount of which may be difficult to estimate, thus making any remedy at law or in damages inadequate. Each Party therefore agrees that if the other Party breaches any provision of this Agreement relating to the other Party's Intellectual Property, the licenses granted hereunder, or Confidential Information or if such Party has cause to believe that the other Party intends to or is about to breach the same, then such Party shall be entitled to, and the other Party hereby consents to, injunctive relief (without having to post a bond), restraining or enjoining the act (or failure to act) constituting the breach or threatened breach, or such other equitable and legal remedies as may be available in the circumstances. In addition, if any such breach remains uncured for 10 days after receiving written notice thereof, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement without mediation or arbitration under Section 16.1. The Parties agree that the exclusive venue and place of jurisdiction for any proceeding brought under this Section 16.2 shall be the State of Colorado, City and County of Denver, including the United States District Court for the District of Colorado in Denver, and each Party hereby waives any objection relating to the basis for personal or in rem jurisdiction or to venue which it may now or hereafter have in any such suit, action or proceeding.
(c) The following shall be inserted after the last sentence of Section 16.3:
Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, unless the Parties mutually agree in writing to the contrary and as is necessary for MYT to complete its obligations under the current term (without any opportunity for renewal) of any agreement with any third party or an Affiliate for the manufacture of products on the Line under Section 2.7 (except in the case where such use of the Line caused the termination of this Agreement), the licenses set forth in Section 11.1 shall terminate and MYT shall immediately stop the production of any Products then in process; except that in the case of the expiration of this Agreement or a termination of this Agreement by DT, at DT's option, MYT shall continue production of the Products to the extent necessary to meet any orders of Products which were accepted by MYT prior to the expiration or termination of the Agreement. In addition, MYT shall immediately cease using all of the DT Intellectual Property relating to the Products and shall promptly deliver to DT all Finished Product manufactured hereunder along with all copies or tangible forms of the DT Intellectual Property and Joint Intellectual Property used in the Line or in any other manufacturing process used to produce the Products together with all FLC materials, equipment and other tangible property supplied by or for DT. Sections 2.7, 6, 8, 9, 11.1.1, 11.2, 11.3, 11.4, 11.5, 11.6, 12, 14, 16 and 17 shall survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
9. General Terms. Section 17 of the Original Agreement shall be amended as follows:
(a) The following shall be inserted after the last sentence of Section 17.3:
Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner to the end that the obligations contemplated hereunder are fulfilled to the maximum extent possible.

Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, MYT shall comply at all times with all restrictions imposed by the U.S. Government under the U.S. Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, and regulations issued under such Act and trade sanctions programs administered by the U.S. Department of Treasury. MYT acknowledges that currently such trade sanction programs prohibit DT from engaging in transactions with certain countries and parties including, the Balkans, Burma, Cuba, Iran, Iraq, Liberia, Libya, North Korea, Sierra Leone, Sudan, the Taliban, UNITA (Angola) and Yugoslavia among others. The obligation of each Party under this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

Any breach of the terms of this Agreement by a Party's Affiliates, subcontractors or consultants shall constitute a breach by such Party, entitling the non-breaching Party to pursue against it all rights and remedies under this Agreement or applicable law that such other Party would have been entitled to assert against the Party had the Party directly breached this Agreement. In furtherance of the foregoing, to the extent that any obligations of either Party are subcontracted hereunder, such subcontractor must agree in writing to be bound by the terms of this Agreement or, in the case of the confidentiality obligations under Section 12, an agreement no less restrictive than the provisions of Section I2 and either Party may review such writings and agreements upon reasonable notice to the other Party.
