(a) Treatment of Confidential Information

Each Recipient receiving Confidential Information from a Discloser pursuant to this Agreement shall (and shall cause the Recipient’s Affiliates to): (a) hold confidential and not disclose to persons or entities other than Recipient’s Affiliates having a reasonable need to know such Confidential Information in connection with the permitted purposes hereunder, without the prior written consent of the Discloser, all Confidential Information provided by the Discloser or the Discloser’s Affiliates; (b) use such Confidential Information only for the purposes for which it is delivered to the Recipient, and for no other purposes whatsoever, except with the prior written consent of the Discloser; and (c) return the Confidential Information (with all copies thereof and all portions of documents prepared by or for the Receiving Party or Recipient’s Affiliates that contain Confidential Information) to the Discloser (or, at the option of the Recipient, destroy all Confidential Information, including all copies thereof and all portions of such documents containing Confidential Information, and provide the Discloser with a certificate of an officer of the Recipient stating that such destruction has occurred) within thirty (30) days of receipt by the Recipient of a written request therefor from the Discloser except to the extent the Recipient shall have a continuing right to retain such Confidential Information pursuant to this Agreement or other written agreement entered into between the parties.

(b) Exceptions

The obligations imposed by section 8(b) hereof shall not apply, or shall cease to apply, to any Confidential Information if or when, and to the extent that, such Confidential Information: (a) was known to the Recipient or the Recipient’s Affiliates prior to the receipt of the Confidential Information from the Discloser or Discloser’s Affiliates; (b) was, or becomes through no breach of the Recipient’s (or any of its Affiliates’) obligations hereunder, known to the public; (c) becomes known to the Recipient or Recipient’s Affiliates from sources other than the Discloser or Discloser’s Affiliates under circumstances not involving any breach of any confidentiality obligation between such source and the Discloser or Discloser’s affiliates; (d) is independently developed by the Recipient or the Recipient’s Affiliates, without any use of or reference to the Discloser’s Confidential Information; or (e) is required to be disclosed by law or applicable legal process, provided that the Recipient or the Recipient’s Affiliate(s) making such disclosure

***	CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

shall (i) give the Discloser as much prior notice thereof as is reasonably practicable so that the Discloser may seek such protective orders or other confidentiality protection as it, in its sole discretion and at its sole expense, may elect, and (ii) reasonably cooperate(s) with the Discloser in protecting such confidential or proprietary nature of the Confidential Information that must be so disclosed (with such duty of cooperation not requiring the Recipient or Recipient’s Affiliates to initiate or participate in any litigation or incur more than de minimis out-of-pocket costs).

Each Recipient acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of the Discloser’s Confidential Information, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of the Recipient’s confidentiality and/or use-restriction obligations under this Agreement, that any such breach may result in irreparable harm to the Discloser, and that therefore, upon any such breach or threat thereof, the Discloser will be entitled to appropriate equitable relief, including injunctive relief, in addition to any remedies it may have available at law. Each party hereby waives any right it may have to assert that the other party has an adequate remedy available at law with respect to any breach of this Agreement in connection with Confidential Information.

(d) Elekta warrants that any Personal Data it has disclosed or will disclose to IMPAC has been disclosed or will be disclosed (as appropriate) in accordance with the Data Protection Xxx 0000 (or, in respect of potential customers and Leads not based in the United Kingdom, any relevant equivalent or similar legislation) and that IMPAC may use that data to correspond with a potential customer for the purpose of performing and fulfilling its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

(e) Each party will Process Personal Data in accordance with the Data Protection Xxx 0000 (or, in respect of potential customers and Leads not based in the United Kingdom, any relevant equivalent or similar legislation), as applicable.

(f) In sub-clauses 5(d) and (e) above, the terms “Personal Data” and “Process” are as defined in the Data Protection Xxx 0000 of the United Kingdom or, as appropriate, the equivalent of such terms in any relevant equivalent or similar legislation applicable outside the United Kingdom.

9. Quality Assurance, Regulatory Requirements, and Customer Complaints

(a) Quality Assurance

IMPAC will inspect all Products supplied to Elekta under this Agreement (using representative sampling where appropriate) and, with respect to each new release, will test Products in accordance with the U.S. FDA and the Medical Device Directive regulatory requirements. IMPAC will supply to Elekta only Products that conform in all material respects to the applicable regulatory requirements.

(b) Regulatory Requirements

Where applicable, the Products will be marketed and distributed by IMPAC as medical devices as defined in the United States Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act and the regulations thereunder (and similar laws in other countries) to the extent permitted by applicable law. IMPAC will comply with all statutes and regulations applicable to design, manufacture, and distribution of the Products as medical devices, including those relating to the Quality System Regulations, establishment registration, device listing, pre-market approval or notification and medical device reporting. The parties will cooperate with respect to any reporting or approvals required by law or this section 9 in connection with the Products.

IMPAC shall address all Product-related customer complaints consistent with its then current complaint handling procedures. If a customer complaint is fielded initially by Elekta, and the complaint is identified as arising from, attributable to, or relating directly to the Products in all material respects, Elekta shall transfer the complaint to IMPAC. IMPAC shall address the issue consistent with its then current complaint handling procedures and, upon completion, shall report back to Elekta the closure of the complaint and the resolution of the issue.

10. Term and Termination

(a) Term

The initial term of this Agreement shall be two (2) years from the Effective Date, and, unless earlier terminated in accordance with the terms of this section 10, shall automatically renew for successive one year terms.

(b) Termination for Default

In addition to any other remedies it may have, either party may terminate this Agreement at any time, without any liability arising from the termination, by providing written notice of termination to the other party following the occurrence of one or more of the following circumstances:

(i) the commencement of any proceeding by the other party for relief under the United States Bankruptcy Code (or similar law of any foreign jurisdiction), any assignment by the other party for the benefit of any of its creditors, or the appointment of a receiver for all or a substantial part of the other party’s business or assets; or

(ii) the other party’s failure to pay money due in accordance with this Agreement, this failure remaining uncured fifteen (15) days after the other party’s receipt of written notice thereof; or

(iii) the breach of any agreement, obligation, covenant or representation of the other party under this Agreement, this breach remaining uncured in any material respect thirty (30) days after written notice thereof from the first party.

Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement, this Agreement (1) may be terminated in whole or as to any particular Product or Products by either party without cause upon not less than 120 (one hundred twenty) days prior written notice to the other party and (2) may be terminated in whole or as to any particular Product or Products immediately upon written notice if (a) IMPAC discontinues production of the Product or Products, (b) the Product or Products are no longer offered for sale by IMPAC to customers, or (c) ownership or control of IMPAC changes by purchase, merger, operation of law or otherwise. For purposes of the foregoing, “control” shall include the right, directly or indirectly, to direct the management of an entity by ownership of more than fifty percent (50%) of the voting stock (or its equivalent) entitled to determine or remove the board of directors (or their equivalent).

(d) Effect of Termination: Upon the date of any termination or expiration of this Agreement, all rights of Elekta to act as a sales consultant of IMPAC pursuant to this Agreement shall cease and Elekta will immediately pay IMPAC all amounts outstanding hereunder regardless of whether such amounts have fallen due at the date of termination (and including the unpaid balance of any transfer price yet to fall due under section 2(h)). IMPAC, however, will honor all Elekta-generated orders that remain outstanding at the date of termination, and all outstanding quotes that are identified in writing to IMPAC within ten (10) days of the date of termination and ordered within six (6) months of the date of termination. IMPAC will work directly with the prospect to ensure delivery of the Products.

11. Warranties and Disclaimers.

(a) Limited Product Warranties. IMPAC warrants to Elekta (and not to any third party) that each release of the Products, as delivered to Elekta by IMPAC, will operate substantially in conformance with the Documentation for a period of one (1) year from the date of first delivery to Elekta of such release. IMPAC further warrants that all Products provided by IMPAC to Elekta hereunder shall be free from defects in material and workmanship for a period of one (1) year from the date of delivery to Elekta. Elekta’s sole remedy for breach of the foregoing warranty with respect to material and workmanship shall be to return defective Products for replacement by IMPAC, or if IMPAC determines that such repair and replacement is not commercially feasible, IMPAC will refund the amounts paid by Elekta for the same.

(b) Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 11(a) ABOVE AND TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IMPAC DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY, WITH RESPECT TO ANY PRODUCTS, INFORMATION, MATERIALS OR SERVICES PROVIDED BY IMPAC HEREUNDER, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY, COMPLETENESS, ERROR-FREE SERVICE, UNINTERRUPTED SERVICE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, TITLE AND NON-INTERFERENCE.

Subject to section 12(c) below, IMPAC agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Elekta and its directors, employees, agents and Affiliates harmless from and against any and all damages, liability, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising under any third-party action to the extent arising out of personal injury or death of a person or damage to tangible property (specifically excluding data and other intellectual property) caused or alleged to have been caused by defects in the Products or their manufacture or design (except to the extent that such defects are caused by modifications to the Products not performed or authorized by IMPAC). Subject to section 12(c) below, Elekta agrees to defend, indemnify and hold IMPAC and its directors, employees, agents and Affiliates harmless from and against any and all damages, liability costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) in connection with any third party action to the extent arising out of personal injury or death of a person or damage to tangible property (specifically excluding data and other intellectual property) caused or alleged to have been caused by defects in the equipment and/or other products with which Elekta sublicenses or otherwise distributes the Products.

(b) Infringement Indemnity. Subject to Section 12(c) below, IMPAC agrees to defend, indemnify and hold Elekta and its directors, employees, agents and Affiliates harmless from and against any and all damages, liability, costs and expenses (including without limitation reasonable attorneys’ fees) arising under any third party action to the extent that such action alleges or proves that any Product, as provided by IMPAC to Elekta hereunder, infringes any United States patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret, except to the extent that any such infringement arises from: (a) any modification to any Product after being provided to Elekta by IMPAC, or (b) the combination of any Product with any other product or equipment distributed by Elekta or its sublicensees.

(c) Conditions of Indemnification. In connection with any claims for which indemnification may be sought under this section 12, the indemnified party will give the indemnifying party prompt written notice of any such claim, reasonable information and assistance (at the indemnifying party’s request and expense) in connection with the defense or settlement of such claim and, subject to the provisions of this section, the sole right to control and direct the investigation, preparation, defense and settlement of such claim. In the event that the indemnified party fails to provide any such notice or reasonable information or assistance, the indemnifying party will not be relieved of its obligations under this section 12 except to the extent that it is prejudiced by such failure. The indemnified party shall have the right to participate in the defense or settlement of any such claim with counsel of its choosing at the indemnified party’s expense. The indemnifying party will not enter into any settlement adversely affecting any of the indemnified party’s rights or obligations without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld.

(d) Infringement Options. If all or any part of a Product is, or in the reasonable opinion of IMPAC may become, the subject of any claim, suit or proceeding for infringement of any United States or foreign patent, trademark, copyright or trade secret, then without limiting any other remedy to which Elekta may be entitled under this section 12, IMPAC may, and in the event of any adjudication that a Product or any part thereof infringes any United States or foreign patent, trademark, copyright or trade secret or if the licensing or use of a Product or any part thereof is enjoined, IMPAC shall, at its expense, do one of the following things: (a) procure for Elekta the right under such patent, trademark, copyright or trade secret to use or sublicense, as appropriate, the Product or the affected part thereof; (b) replace the Product or affected part thereof with other non-infringing software that satisfies the Documentation and other requirements of this Agreement; (c) suitably modify the Product or affected part thereof, without material loss of performance or functionality, to make it non infringing; or (c) if Elekta determines that none of the foregoing remedies is commercially practicable, refund the payments paid by Elekta for the Product, provided that that each such payment will be depreciated on a thirty six (36) month straight-line basis from the date of delivery of the Product for which such payment was made.

(e) Exclusive Remedies. SECTIONS 12(b), 12(c) AND 12(d) STATE THE ENTIRE LIABILITY AND OBLIGATION OF IMPAC AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF ELEKTA AND ITS AFFILIATES WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF PATENT, TRADEMARK, COPYRIGHT, TRADE SECRET OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHT BY THE PRODUCTS OR ANY PART THEREOF.
