Without limiting the foregoing, (i) the Parties acknowledge that Xxxx already has certain ongoing development obligations to Intuitive Surgical, Inc., certain internal product development efforts, and under certain government contracts as of the Effective Date but Xxxx shall give the Development Program for Xxxxxx at least equal priority to such other obligations (and balance its development work for Xxxxxx and such other parties accordingly), (ii) Xxxx shall give the Development Program for Xxxxxx at least equal priority to any other development project or similar activities (whether for itself, its Affiliates or for third parties) not described in (i) above, including pursuant to an agreement entered into after the Effective Date, and (iii) Xxxx may need to hire additional highly qualified employees, possibly because of the loss of employees, and the ability and timing of hiring such employees cannot be guaranteed. The Parties acknowledge that technical and scientific issues and realities may make either or both the Development Plan or the Development Milestones impractical or infeasible. Xxxxxx shall compensate Xxxx for such development and related activities solely as provided for in Article 4 below.

The Specifications shall be part of the Development Plan, or, to the extent not so specified in the Development Plan, independently established in writing in a document executed by both Parties, and any changes thereto (and/or any initial determination thereof) shall be done in accordance with this Section 2.2. The Development Plan (including the Specifications) and Development Milestones may not be modified other than in accordance with this Section 2.2.

2.2.1 If Xxxxxx wishes to request changes to the Development Plan (including the Specifications) and/or the Development Milestones, Xxxxxx shall notify Xxxx and propose a draft of the modified Development Plan and/or modified Development Milestones for review by Xxxx. Xxxx shall provide reasonable consultation and assistance to Xxxxxx in Xxxxxx’x efforts to modify the Development Plan and the Development Milestones. Xxxx shall provide Xxxxxx with any comments on the proposed modifications and a reasonable estimate of changes to the budget, if any, necessitated by the modifications within [****] days of Xxxxxx’x request.

[****] = CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS

Milestones (whether on their own or as a result of modifications to the Development Plan) proposed by Xxxxxx, Xxxx shall provide Xxxxxx with a reasonably detailed explanation for Xxxx’x concerns and a proposal with reasonably estimated timelines for such Development Milestones. Xxxxxx shall consider Xxxx’x concerns and proposed budget and timelines in good faith in finalizing the modified Development Plan and/or Development Milestones. No sooner than [****] days after first providing to Xxxx Xxxxxx’x proposed modifications to the Development Plan and/or the Development Milestones in accordance with the foregoing, Xxxxxx may formally propose a final modified Development Plan and/or modified Development Milestones by providing a copy thereof to Xxxx. Xxxx shall thereupon have [****] days to approve such modified Development Plan and/or Development Milestones, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld.

2.2.2 Upon any such approval by Xxxx under Section 2.2.1, such modified Development Plan (including modified Specifications if applicable) and/or modified Development Milestones shall become the Development Plan and/or Development Milestones (as applicable) hereunder and shall replace the previous Development Plan and/or previous Development Milestones (as applicable), except to the extent the modified version expressly incorporates such previous Development Plan and/or Development Milestones or otherwise expressly provides for existing portions thereof to remain in effect.

2.2.3 If Xxxx does not approve the proposed modifications under Section 2.2.1 within the [****] day period specified above, the Parties shall discuss in good faith for a period of at least [****] days to reach mutual agreement on the proposed modifications. Otherwise, absent such agreement within such [****] day period, Xxxxxx shall have the right at any time after such [****] day period to submit its proposed modifications (including any determination of Specifications, if applicable) to binding dispute resolution under Section 2.6 hereunder, and (to the extent not otherwise resolved prior to completion of any arbitration thereunder) the arbitrator under any arbitration pursuant to Section 2.6 shall be empowered hereunder to determine whether or not Xxxx’x failure to approve is reasonable (and therefore if Xxxxxx’x proposed modifications shall become effective hereunder) and/or determine an alternative form of the modifications that is fair to Xxxx in light of Xxxx’x objections to Xxxxxx’x formally proposed modifications but which also most nearly achieves Xxxxxx’x goals and objectives of such proposed modifications.

2.2.4 If Xxxx wishes to request changes to the Development Plan (including the Specifications) and/or Development Milestones, it shall notify Xxxxxx thereof and inform Xxxxxx of the proposed modifications. Xxxx and Xxxxxx shall thereupon discuss such modifications. No sooner than [****] days after first providing to Xxxxxx Xxxx’x proposed modifications to the Development Plan and/or the Development Milestones in accordance with the foregoing, Xxxx may formally propose a final modified Development Plan and/or modified Development Milestones by providing a copy thereof to Xxxxxx. Xxxxxx shall thereupon have [****] days to approve such modified Development Plan and/or Development Milestones, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld so long as such proposed modifications are consistent with the reasonable development of a commercially viable End Product and do not significantly increase the budget. If Xxxxxx approves such modification, such modified Development Plan (including modified Specifications if applicable) and/or modified Development Milestones shall become the Development Plan and/or Development Milestones (as applicable) hereunder and shall replace the previous Development Plan and/or previous Development Milestones (as applicable), except to the extent the modified version expressly incorporates such previous Development Plan and/or Development Milestones or otherwise expressly provides for existing portions thereof to remain in effect. If Xxxxxx does not approve the proposed modifications within the [****] day period specific above, Section 2.2.3 shall apply with respect thereto, with the Parties in such section reversed.

files and utilities necessary to compile or synthesize the source code, together with any documentation, libraries, tools, utilities and other related materials reasonably necessary for the installation, testing, deployment, operation, modification or use of such software source code (collectively, “Xxxx Product Deposit Materials”) with [****] (or, if [****] is not reasonably available, with another reputable software escrow company to be mutually agreed by the Parties). Xxxx shall periodically update such Xxxx Product Deposit Materials with the latest versions thereof, but no less frequently than once each [****]. The Xxxx Product Deposit Materials shall be released to Xxxxxx in the event any of the following occurs (but not in any other case): (i) refusal of Xxxx to perform continued development, maintenance, upgrading and support of the software within the Xxxx Product Deposit Materials under Xxxx’x standard rates and under other reasonable and customary terms (it being understood that Xxxx has no obligation to do so hereunder outside of the Development Program) or failure of Xxxx to provide such services after agreeing to do so (following notice and an opportunity to cure such failure within [****] days), and (ii) the bankruptcy, liquidation or insolvency of Xxxx or an assignment for the benefit of creditors by Xxxx.

2.5 Liquidated Damages.

2.5.1 The Parties acknowledge that Xxxxxx is relying on Xxxx performing its obligations under Section 2.1 above in order to provide Xxxxxx with important technical solutions that are critical to Xxxxxx’x business and that Xxxxxx would suffer significant harm, and lose the benefit of a critical development and supply arrangement, if Xxxx fails to meet its obligations under Section 2.1. The Parties acknowledge that the liquidated damages set forth in this Section 2.5 are reasonable under the circumstances existing on the Effective Date and reasonably approximate the amount of damage that would be sustained by Xxxxxx as a result of Xxxx’x failure to meet its obligations under Section 2.1, and that it is impracticable or extremely difficult to determine the actual damages that would be sustained by Xxxxxx as a result thereof. The Parties further acknowledge and agree that the amount of the liquidated damages set forth in this Section 2.5 is not a penalty. If a court of competent jurisdiction nonetheless determines, by a final, non-appealable judgment, that the amount of the liquidated damages exceeds the maximum amount permitted by law, then the amount of the liquidated damages shall be reduced to the maximum amount permitted by law in the circumstances, as determined by such court of competent jurisdiction.

2.5.2 In the event Xxxx breaches Section 2.1 of this Agreement and (a) Xxxx fails to cure such breach within sixty (60) days after notice thereof from Xxxxxx to Xxxx describing such breach in reasonable detail as well as those steps known to Xxxxxx, if any, that Xxxx could take to cure such breach (or, within only thirty (30) days after such a notice with respect to a second (same or similar) breach of Section 2.1 described in such a Xxxxxx notice in the event a first breach of the same or similar nature subject to a Xxxxxx notice hereunder was duly cured by Xxxx), or (b) such breach is the third (same or similar) breach of Section 2.1 described in a Xxxxxx notice of breach following Xxxx’x timely cure of two prior breaches of the same or similar nature described in previous Xxxxxx notices hereunder, then, in the case of either (a) or (b), Xxxx shall pay Xxxxxx without offset, recoupment or defense, which are hereby waived by Xxxx, liquidated damages in the amount of Ten Million Dollars ($10,000,000) plus the amount of Development Fees actually paid by Xxxxxx pursuant to Section 4.1 below, due and payable within five (5) days after the end of the applicable cure period described above (in the case of (a)), or, with respect to the third breach under (b), within five (5) days of Xxxxxx’x notice referencing such third breach. In the event that Xxxx disputes that Xxxx has breached Section 2.1 of the Agreement or disputes that it has failed to cure such breach within the applicable cure period (or Xxxx otherwise disputes the payment of liquidated damages that Xxxxxx claims are due hereunder), either Party may by written notice submit the matter to resolution pursuant to Section 2.6 below. For the avoidance of doubt, if Xxxx breaches Section 2.1 but subsequently cures such breach and/or achieves the next Development Milestone on a timely basis, in either case prior to a notice of breach from Xxxxxx under this Section 2.5.2, Xxxxxx shall thereupon have no right to provide notice of such breach to Xxxx under this Section 2.5.2.

2.5.3 [****].

2.6 Certain Development Disputes. If either Party has any dispute regarding Xxxx’x performance under Section 2.1 above, or any failures with respect thereto (including the payment of liquidated damages under Section 2.5 and any dispute regarding if and when a given Development Milestone is achieved or otherwise with respect to payments owed under Section 4.1 (without limiting Section 4.2)) or otherwise pursuant to Sections 2.4, 3.3 and 3.8, then prior to taking any other action with respect to such dispute (e.g., litigation), except as may be required to preserve a Party’s rights with respect to the dispute process described in the Amended Plan, the complaining Party shall refer the dispute to the Chief Executive Officers of the Parties for good-faith discussions over a period of not less than [****] days. Each Party will make such executives reasonably available for such discussions. If the

[****] = CERTAIN INFORMATION HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS

Parties are unable to resolve any such dispute through such discussions within such [****] days, then either Party may initiate resolution of the matter in accordance with the following expedited dispute resolution process (which shall be the exclusive dispute resolution process for any such dispute, except for, to the extent applicable, the dispute process described in the Amended Plan). Upon either Party’s request at such point, the Parties shall submit such dispute to arbitration proceedings under the Comprehensive Arbitration Rules and Procedures of [****] as modified by this Section. The arbitration shall take place in New York City, New York before a single arbitrator. The Parties shall jointly select the arbitrator, and should they fail to agree on such arbitrator within [****] days of this Section being invoked, the Parties shall request that [****] appoint an appropriate arbitrator who shall be a neutral, independent and impartial individual with expertise in the development of medical devices. Within [****] days after an arbitrator is selected (or appointed, as the case may be), each Party will deliver to both the arbitrator and the other Party a memorandum (the “Support Memorandum”) in support of its position with respect to the dispute (including any data or information in support thereof). Within [****] days after receipt of the other Party’s Support Memorandum, each Party may submit to the arbitrator (with a copy to the other Party) a rebuttal to the other Party’s Support Memorandum. Neither Party may have communications (either written or oral) with the arbitrator other than for the sole purpose of engaging the arbitrator or as expressly permitted in this Section; however, the arbitrator may convene a hearing if the arbitrator so chooses to hear oral argument and discussion regarding the dispute in question. The Parties shall direct the arbitrator to decide the applicable dispute within [****] days after the arbitrator’s selection (or appointment, as the case may be). The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, binding, and unappealable and shall be deemed the decision of the Parties hereunder and may be entered by any Party in a court of competent jurisdiction. Nothing in this Section 2.6 shall limit or restrict Xxxxxx’x ability to enforce or defend its rights under this Agreement pursuant to the dispute process described in the Amended Plan.

2.7 Further Assurances and Assistance. Each Party agrees to take or cause to be taken such further actions, and to execute, deliver and file or cause to be executed, delivered and filed such further documents and instruments, and to obtain such consents, as may be reasonably required or requested by the other Party (to the extent consistent with this Agreement and at the other Party’s expense) in order to effectuate fully the purposes, terms and conditions of this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall provide the other Party with assistance, information and cooperation reasonably requested by such other Party (and at such other Party’s expense) in connection with such other Party’s compliance with regulatory requirements and Applicable Laws with respect to the Xxxx Products and/or End Products (with respect to the Xxxx Product portion thereof) and as required to obtain regulatory approvals and industry certifications for Xxxx Products or End Products (with respect to the Xxxx Product portion thereof), including without limitation in connection with all regulatory filings, approvals and registrations for Xxxx Products and End Products (with respect to the Xxxx Product portion thereof).

5. Intellectual Property

5.1 Acknowledgement of License Agreement. The Parties acknowledge that they are concurrently entering into the separate License Agreement governing the terms and conditions of licenses under certain Technology (and Intellectual Property Rights therein or thereunder) relevant to the development activities contemplated under this Agreement, including with respect to Fiber Optic Shape Sensing/Localization Technology. Nothing herein shall limit the rights and licenses expressly granted to, acquired by or confirmed for Xxxxxx or Xxxx in the License Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, any Technology (and Intellectual Property Rights therein or thereunder) developed, made, created, conceived or reduced to practice (in whole or in part) by or for Xxxx in connection with Xxxx’x development activities or performance under this Agreement shall be included in the Licensed IP (including as used in Section 2.1 of the License Agreement) for all purposes under the License Agreement, including for purposes of the licenses granted to Xxxxxx under the terms and conditions of the License Agreement (except, with respect to Joint Patents, to the extent assigned to Xxxxxx hereunder). Furthermore, the Parties acknowledge and agree that the licenses granted to Xxxxxx under the License Agreement are essential to this Agreement and necessary for Xxxxxx to enjoy the benefits of the Development Program and other terms and conditions of this Agreement, and that, without such licenses, the purposes and performance of this Agreement would be entirely frustrated and materially impaired. Accordingly, without limiting the terms and conditions of the License Agreement (or any rights or remedies for any breach thereof), the Parties agree that any termination of the licenses granted to Xxxxxx under the License Agreement or any narrowing of (i) the scope of such licenses or (ii) the degree of their exclusivity (which narrowing results in a material impairment of the purposes or performance of this Agreement and/or the License Agreement), shall be a material breach of this Agreement.

5.2 New Inventions. To the extent a Party develops, makes, conceives or reduces to practice a new patentable invention under the Development Program (“New Inventions”), subject to the License Agreement, ownership of the patent rights to such New Invention between the Parties shall be governed as follows:

5.2.1 Xxxxxx Inventions. Xxxxxx shall own all patent rights to any New Inventions that Xxxxxx solely develops, makes, conceives or reduces to practice (i.e., no employee or consultant of Xxxx is an “inventor” thereof under applicable patent law). Xxxxxx shall have the sole right to file any patent application on any such New Invention and to control the prosecution and enforcement thereof. Xxxxxx shall promptly notify Xxxx in writing of any such New Inventions within thirty (30) days of documenting same.

5.2.2 Joint Inventions. Xxxxxx shall own all patent rights to any New Inventions that Xxxxxx and Xxxx jointly develop, make, conceive or reduce to practice (i.e., an employee or consultant of each of Xxxxxx and Xxxx is an “inventor” thereof under applicable patent law) (to the extent any patent application is filed thereon, together with any patents issuing thereon and other patent rights arising therefrom or claiming priority thereto, a “Joint Patent”). Xxxxxx shall have the sole right to file any patent application on any such New Invention (and to control the prosecution and enforcement thereof); provided that (i) Xxxx shall cooperate in the filing of any such patent application to the extent consistent with applicable patent law and (ii) Xxxxxx shall provide Xxxx with a copy of each such patent application. The Parties acknowledge that any Joint Patent(s) are subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the License Agreement and Section 5.2.5 below. Each Party shall promptly notify the other in writing of any such New Inventions within thirty (30) days of documenting same.

5.2.3 Xxxx Inventions. Xxxx shall own all patent rights to any New Inventions that Xxxx solely develops, makes, conceives or reduces to practice (i.e., no employee or consultant of Xxxxxx is an “inventor” thereof under applicable patent law). Xxxx shall have the sole right to file any patent application on any such New Invention and to control the prosecution and enforcement thereof, subject to the provisions below. The Parties acknowledge that any such New Inventions are subject to the applicable terms and conditions of the License Agreement and the Intuitive-Xxxx License, to the extent applicable to such New Inventions (including Sections 5.1 and 5.2 of the License Agreement, but without limiting the additional terms and conditions regarding patent prosecution and enforcement below, and including in any event the inclusion of such New Inventions and Intellectual Property Rights therein or thereto within the Licensed IP licensed to Xxxxxx under the License Agreement). Xxxx shall promptly notify Xxxxxx in writing of any such New Inventions within thirty (30) days of documenting same. Upon Xxxxxx’x reasonable request, Xxxxxx shall have the right to review and provide input on all patent filings and responses regarding the New Inventions prior to their filing or submission with any applicable patent office. Prior to dropping prosecution of any claim within any patent applications on any New Inventions, Xxxx shall notify Xxxxxx thereof and Xxxxxx, at is option, shall have the right to continue the prosecution of such claim and Xxxx shall provide Xxxxxx reasonable cooperation and assistance in connection therewith. Xxxxxx shall have the sole and exclusive right to enforce any patents on New Inventions with respect to any infringement or alleged infringement thereof in the [****] Field, the [****] Field and the [****] Field and the [****] Field, and the terms and conditions of Section 5.2(b) of the License Agreement shall otherwise apply with respect thereto.

5.2.4 Patent Ownership. Xxxx hereby assigns (and agrees to assign, identify, document and deliver) to Xxxxxx all right, title and interest in and to any Joint Patent. Xxxx shall execute and deliver all documents reasonably required by Xxxxxx to evidence, perfect, record or enforce such assignment and/or the Joint Patents, and appoints Xxxxxx as its attorney-in-fact to execute and deliver such documents if Xxxxxx is unable, after making reasonable inquiry, to obtain Xxxx’x signature. Xxxxxx shall have the sole right (in its sole discretion) to control and oversee all filing, prosecuting, maintaining and enforcing any and all Joint Patents at its own expense, and Xxxx shall reasonably cooperate with Xxxxxx and provide all reasonable assistance (and execute such documents) in connection with any action Xxxxxx may take with respect thereto, in all cases at Xxxxxx’x sole cost and expense. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, the Parties agree that applicable patent law shall govern who is an inventor of any New Invention. In the event of any disagreement about ownership, inventorship or similar matters arising out of this Agreement or otherwise related to New Inventions, the Parties hereby agree first to have their Chief Executive Officers or their designees meet and confer to attempt to resolve such disagreement. If such disagreement is not resolved within [****] days of either party’s referral of such disagreement for resolution by such Chief Executive Officers or their designees, the Parties agree to submit such disagreement to final and binding arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Patent Arbitration Rules before one single neutral arbitrator. Such arbitration shall occur in New York City, New York. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final, binding, and unappealable and shall be deemed the decision of the Parties hereunder and may be entered by any Party in a court of competent jurisdiction.

5.2.5 [****] License to Joint Patents outside of [****] Fields. Xxxxxx hereby grants Xxxx an irrevocable, perpetual, fully paid-up, royalty-free, nonexclusive, transferable, sublicensable, worldwide license under the Joint Patent(s) to research, develop, make, have made, use, have used, import, sell, have sold, offer to sell, sell and transfer and otherwise commercialize and exploit under any such Joint Patents in all fields of use outside the [****].

5.3 Third Party Technology. Xxxx shall inform Xxxxxx prior to including Third Party Technology in or with any Xxxx Products (or otherwise providing such Third Party Technology to Xxxxxx in connection with the development of Xxxx Products hereunder). To the extent any such Third Party Technology is so included or provided, Xxxx shall provide Xxxxxx with written notice informing Xxxxxx thereof and acknowledging Xxxxxx’x rights thereto (and confirming such rights are as provided for in the License Agreement). To the extent any such Third Party Technology is required for Xxxx to manufacture and supply Xxxx Products hereunder, and any royalties with respect thereto are to be included in the formula for the Development Transfer Price or the Commercial Transfer Price under Sections 3.2 and 3.3.2, respectively, then Xxxxxx must provide its prior written consent; provided, however, that if Xxxxxx does not consent thereto, notwithstanding anything else herein to the contrary, Xxxx shall have no duty to supply such Xxxx Products. If Xxxx includes Third Party Technology with or in any Xxxx Products (or otherwise provides such Third Party Technology to Xxxxxx in connection with the development of Xxxx Products hereunder) without such Third Party Technology having been licensed or sublicensed to Xxxxxx in accordance with the foregoing, or if Xxxx infringes any third party patents or misappropriates any trade secrets in the course of its performance of the Development Program hereunder, then in all such cases, Xxxx shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Xxxxxx Indemnitees from and against any loss, damage, liability, judgment, fine, or amount paid in settlement (with Xxxx’x consent) and expense or cost of defense arising from any claim, demand, action, proceeding, in all such cases suffered or incurred by the Xxxxxx Indemnitees resulting from Xxxxxx’x use and exploitation of such Third Party Technology.

This Agreement shall be governed by, and interpreted in accordance with: (a) the Bankruptcy Code, and (b) in the case of applicable nonbankruptcy law, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to conflicts of laws, or applicable federal law as to a particular subject where federal law governs, such as for example, the Patent Act governing patents or the Copyright Act governing copyrights.

10.4.2 Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction. Except as provided in Section 10.4.3 and Section 10.4.4, any disputes arising under this Agreement, or related to the meaning, effect and interpretation of the Amended Plan, the Confirmation Order or this Agreement (which Agreement is a part of the Amended Plan and Confirmation Order), shall be subject to the jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court.

10.4.3 Exceptions to Bankruptcy Court Jurisdiction. In the event: (a) the Bankruptcy Court lacks or declines to exercise jurisdiction over a dispute arising under this Agreement, for any reason; (b) the reference of jurisdiction to the Bankruptcy Court is withdrawn, for any reason; (c) the dispute or enforcement is related to any intellectual property rights of Xxxxxx or Xxxx, including without limitation any alleged infringement or misappropriation or misuse thereof; or (d) the dispute or enforcement arises from or with respect to any provision of, or incorporated into, any of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5, 4, 5, or 6.3 of the License Agreement or causes of action relating thereto or arising therefrom, or any of Sections 2.1, 2.2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8 or 10.3 of this Agreement or causes of action relating thereto or arising therefrom, then the state or federal courts for or in New Castle County, Delaware shall have jurisdiction over any disputes arising under or related to this Agreement.

10.4.4 Alternative Dispute Resolution. Notwithstanding Sections 10.4.2 and 10.4.3 above and Section 10.4.5 below, in the event some provision of a particular Settlement Document expressly creates an alternative dispute resolution provision as to a particular type of dispute, such as Sections 2.6 or 5.2.4 of this Agreement (or provisions of this Agreement expressly invoking Section 2.6), then such disputes shall be resolved as so specified in the applicable Agreement.

10.4.5 Consent to Jurisdiction. Each Party hereby (a) consents and submits to the venue and co-exclusive jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court and the courts of New Castle County in the State of Delaware and the Federal courts of the United States sitting in such part of the District of Delaware (without prejudice to either the retained rights and jurisdiction of the Bankruptcy Court), (b) agrees that all claims may be heard and determined in such courts, (c) irrevocably waives (to the extent permitted by applicable law) any objection that it now or hereafter may have to the laying of venue of any such action or proceeding brought in any of the foregoing courts, and any objection on the ground that any such action or proceeding in any such court has been brought in an inconvenient forum, and (d) agrees that a final judgment in any such action or proceeding shall be conclusive and may be enforced in other jurisdictions by suit on the judgment or in any other manner permitted by law. Each of the Parties hereby consents to service of process by any party in any suit, action or proceeding in accordance with such applicable law.

10.4.6 Resolving Conflicts. If there is any question as to whether the proper jurisdiction or venue for any dispute is in the Bankruptcy Court or in the Delaware Court, the Bankruptcy Court may decide that issue.

10.4.7 Miscellaneous. The prevailing Party in any final judgment of any such controversy, claim or dispute, or the non-dismissing Party in the event of a dismissal without prejudice, shall be entitled to receive from the other Party the reasonable attorneys’ fees (and all related costs and expenses) and all other costs and expenses paid or incurred by such prevailing Party in connection with such controversy, claim or dispute and in connection with enforcing any judgment or order with respect thereto.

10.5 Severability. If for any reason a provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, is finally determined to be unenforceable under Applicable Laws, that provision, or portion thereof, shall nonetheless be enforced, as to circumstances, persons, places and otherwise, to the maximum extent permissible by Applicable Laws so as to give effect to the intent of the Parties, and the remainder of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect.

10.6 Effect of Plan/Confirmation Order. The Parties agree that this Section 10.6(a) is a settlement proposal that shall apply only to the extent approved by the Confirmation Order. The Parties each agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to support the full rights sought by the Parties hereunder, including without limitation by appropriate proffers or other proof in the plan confirmation process. To the maximum extent possible under applicable law (as affected by the Confirmation Order), this Agreement is not an “executory contract” for the purposes of 11 U.S.C. § 365. Rather, this Agreement constitutes a settlement allocation and partition of intellectual property and other rights disputed in the Litigation and in Xxxxxx’x related claims in the Chapter 11 Case but resolved by the Amended Plan and the Confirmation Order. To the extent that a final judgment by a court of competent jurisdiction rules otherwise than that, the executory parts of this Agreement (herein sometimes called a “Section 365(n) Contract”) shall be interpreted so that the greatest possible rights and licenses of the licensee Party thereto shall be held to be “executed,” thereby minimizing any “executory” parts of the Agreement. As to any Section 365(n) Contract, the parties hereto acknowledge and agree that the rights and licenses granted by the licensor Party to the licensee Party and its Affiliates hereunder are rights with respect to intellectual property (including without limitation “intellectual property” within the meaning of 11 U.S.C. § 101), and: (a) all reports, drawings, samples, prototypes and other books and records and embodiments of the intellectual property shall be deemed “embodiments” of the intellectual property protected by 11 U.S.C. § 365 hereunder; (b) any Settlement Document or obligations thereunder that the licensee Party designates as such an “agreement supplementary” to such Section 365(n) Contract in its discretion at any time before the Confirmation Hearing in a “Plan Supplement” to the Amended Plan, shall be, to the extent permitted by applicable law (as affected by the Confirmation Order) and so designated by the licensee, an “agreement supplementary” to such Section 365(n) Contract, but no other Settlement Document or obligations shall be an “agreement supplementary” to such Section 365(n) Contract; and (c) there are no “royalty payments” due from Xxxxxx or Xxxx as a licensee under such Section 365(n) Contract or, since 11 U.S.C. § 365(n)(2) applies only to the Section 365(n) Contract, but not to any “agreement supplementary” to such contract, under any such supplementary agreement. In the event of any conflict between (i) the provisions of this Section 10.6(a), or (ii) the rights contemplated by 11 U.S.C. § 365(n), and the Amended Plan or the Confirmation Order, the Amended Plan and Confirmation Order shall govern and control. Xxxxxx and Xxxx each shall be deemed to have made a request for enforcement of all of its rights and licenses pursuant to 11 U.S.C. § 365(n)(4), without further action by either licensee Party.

10.7 Headings. The headings and captions used in this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not be considered in construing or interpreting this Agreement.

10.8 Interpretation. This Agreement has been negotiated by all Parties, and each Party has been advised by competent legal counsel. This Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with its terms and without any construction in favor of or against either Party.

10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but which collectively shall constitute one and the same instrument.

10.10 Force Majeure. No Party shall be responsible for delays to the extent resulting from causes beyond such Party’s control, including without limitation fire, explosion, flood, war, strike, crisis, terrorist attack, earthquake, power failure, or riot, provided that the nonperforming Party notifies the other Party thereof and uses commercially reasonable efforts to mitigate or remove such causes of nonperformance.

10.11 Relationship of the Parties. Xxxx’x relationship with Xxxxxx shall be that of an independent contractor and nothing in this Agreement should be construed to create a partnership, joint venture, agency or employer-employee relationship between the Parties. Xxxx is not the agent of Xxxxxx and is not authorized and shall not have any authority to make any representation, contract or commitment on behalf of Xxxxxx, or otherwise bind Xxxxxx in any respect whatsoever. Xxxx (and its employees and agents) shall not be entitled to any of the benefits Xxxxxx may make available to its employees, such as group insurance, profit-sharing or retirement benefits. Xxxx shall be solely responsible for all tax returns and payments required to be filed with or made to any federal, state or local tax authority with respect to Xxxx’x performance of services and receipt of amounts under this Agreement. Xxxxxx may regularly report amounts paid to Xxxx with the Internal Revenue Service as required by law. Because Xxxx is an independent contractor, Xxxxxx shall not withhold or make payments for social security, make unemployment insurance or disability insurance contributions, or obtain worker’s compensation insurance on Xxxx’x (or its employees’ or agents’) behalf. Xxxx shall comply with, and agrees to accept exclusive liability for its own non-compliance with all Applicable Laws regarding its employees, consultants, taxes, benefits and payroll, including obligations such as payment of all taxes, social security, disability and other contributions based on amounts paid to Xxxx, its agents or employees under this Agreement. Xxxx hereby agrees to indemnify, hold harmless and defend Xxxxxx against any and all such liability, taxes or contributions, including penalties and interest.

10.12 Notices. Except as may be otherwise provided herein, all notices, requests, waivers, consents and approvals made pursuant to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be conclusively deemed to have been duly given (a) when hand delivered to the other Party; (b) when sent by facsimile, with receipt confirmation, to the number set forth below if sent between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. recipient’s local time on a business day, or on the next business day if sent by facsimile to the number set forth below if sent other than between 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. recipient’s local time on a business day; or (c) the next business day after deposit with a national overnight delivery service, postage prepaid, addressed to the applicable parties as set forth below with next business day delivery guaranteed, provided that the sending Party receives a confirmation of delivery from the delivery service provider. Each person making a communication hereunder by facsimile shall attempt to promptly confirm by telephone to the person to whom such communication was addressed each communication made by it by facsimile pursuant hereto but the absence of such confirmation shall not affect the validity or delivery status of any such communication. A Party may change or supplement the addresses given below, or designate additional addresses, for purposes of this Section by giving the other Party written notice of the new address in the manner set forth above.

(and vice versa) and a payment from Xxxxxx to Xxxx Innovations Inc. shall fully satisfy Xxxxxx’x obligation with respect to such payment hereunder as to both entities. Xxxx Innovations Inc. and Xxxx Technologies, Inc. shall exercise their rights jointly under this Agreement, and will not take conflicting positions vis a vis Xxxxxx.
