Therefore, Seller and Buyer mutually agree to the following:
1. Term of Agreement. This Agreement is enforceable immediately but its
terms and conditions shall become effective on 01 January 2004 and will
remain in force until 31 December 2006 ("Initial Term"); provided, however,

part of this Agreement. The parties expressly agree that none of the terms
and conditions of any standard purchase preprinted forms used by either

shipping documents) which are inconsistent with, or in addition to, those

4. Inventory. Seller will maintain a finished inventory for each Product at
the level indicated in Exhibits B, C, D and E. The level is a proportion of
the estimated annual usage for the product and will be updated each
quarter. If inventory drops below the indicated level at any time or is
totally consumed by Buyer, Seller will promptly replenish inventory to the
appropriate level as indicated in Exhibits B, C, D and E. Seller will keep
Buyer informed of the inventory level and location of each Product. At

10.1. Treatment of Propriety Information. Each of Seller and Buyer (each a
"receiving party") agrees to maintain all proprietary information disclosed
by the other party to this Agreement (each a "disclosing party") in strict
secrecy and confidence, and not to disclose such proprietary information to
any third party, nor make any use of such information and technology for
its own benefit or gain other than in carrying out its efforts under this
Agreement. The receiving party agrees to have its employees sign
agreements, or to have an appropriate corporate policy in effect, which
requires them to keep confidential any proprietary information they learn
in their positions at the receiving party; these agreements and/or policies
shall require them to maintain confidentiality of proprietary information
disclosed by the disclosing party. The receiving party further agrees that
no proprietary information or materials will be supplied to any other
corporation, partnership, laboratory, or individuals other than those
approved in writing by the disclosing party, with the exception of
disclosure to the FDA and similar regulatory agencies of information
relative to obtaining regulatory approval.
10.2. Limited Release. The receiving party shall be released from the
obligations of Section 10.1 to the extent that any of the disclosed
information: (a) was already part of the public domain at the time of the
3
disclosure by the disclosing party; (b) becomes part of the public domain
through no fault of the receiving party (but only after and only to the
extent that it is published or otherwise becomes part of the public
domain); (c) was in the receiving party's possession prior to the
disclosure by the disclosing party and was not acquired, directly, or
indirectly, from the disclosing party or from a third party who was under a
continuing obligation of confidence to the disclosing party; (d) is
received (after the disclosure by the disclosing party) by the receiving
party from a third party who did not require the receiving party to hold it
in confidence and did not acquire it directly or indirectly, from the
disclosing party under a continuing obligation of confidence; or (e) is
disclosed by the receiving party pursuant to judicial compulsion, provided
that the disclosing party is notified at the time such judicial action is
initiated. In addition, notwithstanding Section 9.1, Seller may provide
proprietary information of Buyer to its subcontractors and vendors without
Buyer's prior approval provided that WGL first requires any such
subcontractor or vendor to sign a confidentiality agreement which requires
them to keep confidential such Buyer information and not to use it except
for the purpose of performing their obligations to Seller.
10.3. Term of Obligation. The obligation of the receiving party to receive
and hold information disclosed by the disclosing party in confidence, as
required by this Section 9, shall terminate eight (8) years from the date
of disclosure of the information hereunder and shall survive any earlier
termination of this Agreement.
10.4. Disposal Upon Termination. In the event this Agreement is terminated,
any samples, sketches, or other proprietary material provided by the
disclosing party to the receiving party shall be destroyed or returned to
the disclosing party, unless and to the extent such materials are necessary
to the receiving party to provide continuing support.
11. Other Provisions.
11.1. Relationship of the parties. There is no principal-agent relationship
between the parties. Neither party will have any authority to contract,
bind, or act on behalf of the other, and neither party will try to do so.
11.2. Separability and waiver. If any part of this Agreement is not legally
enforceable, only that part will be disregarded and the rest will stay in
effect. If a party waives a particular term or condition, it will be for
one time only, it will not change the Agreement, and the same term or
condition can be enforced again later.
11.3. Entire agreement; changes. This Agreement contains the entire
understanding of the parties regarding this subject and replaces all
previous agreements. There are no written or oral agreements,
understandings, or representations apart from this Agreement. This
Agreement cannot be changed in any way except by a written document that
both parties sign. No interference will be drawn from any difference
between this Agreement and any prior negotiations, letters of intent, or
drafts of this Agreement.
4
11.4. Notices. Notices under this Agreement must be in writing. A party can
send notice by U.S. certified or express mail, by express courier service
(e.g., Federal Express), or by telephone fax to the other party, addressed

authorized representative of the receiving party at the address above.

have accrued prior to such termination, and the parties obligations under

statements relating to or submitted in connection with the settlement or
defense of any such claim, and timely notices of any hearing or other court
proceeding relating to such claim.

4.1 Violation of Law. Buyer and Seller shall each strictly observe and
comply with all federal and local laws and regulations, which may govern
the manufacture, sale, handling and disposal of any Products herein
specified. Violation of any such law or regulation may be viewed as a
