directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives (collectively,
the “Licensee
Indemnified Parties”)
from
and against any loss, liability, obligation, claim, diminution in value, damage,
cost or expense, including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and
costs of investigation in connection with any claim, action, suit or proceeding
(each a “Loss”)
suffered or incurred by, or asserted against, any Licensee Indemnified Party
that is attributable to, is based upon, is caused by, results from, or in any
way arises from any breach or failure to perform by Licensor of any of its
obligations, covenants or agreements set forth in this Agreement.
7
12.2.
Indemnification
of Licensor.
Licensee shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Licensor and its officers,
directors, employees, stockholders, agents and representatives (collectively,
the “Licensor
Indemnified Parties”
and
together with the Licensee Indemnified Parties, the “Indemnified
Parties”)
from
and against any Loss suffered or incurred by, or asserted against, any Licensor
Indemnified Party that is attributable to, is based upon, is caused by, results
from, or in any way arises from:
(a)
any
breach or failure to perform by Licensee of any of its obligations, covenants
or
agreements set forth in this Agreement;
(b)
any
inaccuracy in or breach of any covenant, agreement, representation or warranty
of Licensee contained in this Agreement, and any claim, action, suit or
proceeding by any third party alleging facts that if proven would constitute
an
inaccuracy in or breach of any such covenant, agreement, representation or
warranty of Licensee, provided the same is not the result of any fault of
Licensor; or
(c)
any
claim, action, suit or proceeding brought by any third party (including without
limitation any governmental entity) in connection with Licensee’s production,
distribution, marketing and/or use of any Trillennium System, provided the
same
is not the result of any fault of Licensor.
12.3.
Indemnification
Claim Procedure.
(a)
Any
Indemnified Party seeking indemnification under this Article 12 shall give
prompt written notice to the persons against whom indemnification is sought
(the
“Indemnifying Party”) of the assertion of any claim by a third party or the
discovery of any fact upon which the Indemnified Party intends to base a claim
under this Article 12. The delay or failure of any Indemnified Party to provide
notice hereunder shall not in any way limit its indemnification rights hereunder
except to the extent that the Indemnifying Party demonstrates that its ability
to defend or resolve such claim is actually and materially prejudiced thereby.
Any such notice shall describe the facts and circumstances upon which the
asserted claim for indemnification is based and shall include the amount of
the
indemnified Losses (or, if such amount is not then determined, a good faith
estimate thereof) and the basis for the determination of the amount of such
Losses.
(b)
With
respect to a third party claim:
(i)
The
Indemnifying Party may, if applicable, and at the request of the Indemnified
Party shall, participate in and control the defense of any third party claim
at
its own expense. If the Indemnifying Party elects to assume the defense (whether
or not obligated to) of any such claim, the Indemnified Party may participate
in
such defense, but in such case the expenses of the Indemnified Party shall
be
paid by the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party shall fail to defend
a
third party claim or, if after commencing or undertaking any such defense,
shall
fail to prosecute or shall withdraw from such defense, the Indemnified Party
shall have the right to undertake the defense thereof at the Indemnifying
Party’s expense. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Indemnifying Party
assumes the defense of a third party claim and if the Indemnified Party later
determines in good faith that the third party claim is (x) likely to materially
adversely affect it or its business in a manner that may not be adequately
compensated by money damages or (y) may expose the Indemnified Party to
potential obligations or Losses that may not be fully satisfied by the
Indemnifying Party, then the Indemnified Party may, by written notice to the
Indemnifying Party, assume the exclusive right to defend, compromise, or settle
such claim. If the Indemnified Party shall so assume the exclusive right to
defend, compromise, or settle such claim as it relates to the Indemnified
Party’s liability only, all attorneys’ fees and other expenses incurred by the
Indemnified Party in the defense, compromise or settlement of such claim shall
be at the Indemnifying Party’s expense.
8
(ii)
The
Party controlling the defense of any third party suit, action or proceeding
shall keep the other Party advised of the status of such action, suit or
proceeding and the defense thereof and shall consider in good faith
recommendations made by the other Party with respect thereto.
(iii)
The
Indemnifying Party shall not settle any third party claim without the consent
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) of the Indemnified
Party if any relief, other than the payment of money damages which the
Indemnifying Party shall be obligated to pay in full, would be granted against
the Indemnified Party or its Affiliates by such settlement or if the Indemnified
Party would be liable to the third party for any portion of such
settlement.

Upon

(d)
Licensor shall have the right at its option to cancel any or all accepted

14.
CONFIDENTIALITY.
Licensee and Licensor both acknowledge a duty of care to each other. Each
Party’s trade secrets and business information, including but not limited to
customer lists, management information, and strategies and plans, that become
known to the other are to be treated as confidential, are to be used solely
in
connection with the performance of this Agreement, and are not to be disclosed
to anyone other than Licensee’s or Licensor’s officers and employees, as the
case may be, who require access to the confidential information to perform
their
obligations under this Agreement. On termination of this Agreement, each Party
shall deliver to the other all confidential information and materials and all
copies thereof. The duty of confidentiality will survive the termination of
this
Agreement.
15.
SUSPENSION
OF PERFORMANCE.
Whenever a Party’s performance of its obligations, other than those obligations
involving payments for goods delivered, are substantially impaired by reason
of
circumstances beyond the reasonable control of such Party, including but not
limited to failures or delay caused by the other Party, acts of God (including
without limitation, flood or earthquake), war, embargo, strike, labor
disturbance, riot, public disorder, terrorism, catastrophes of fire or
explosion, local or foreign laws or regulations not existing at the time of
execution of this Agreement, inability, beyond the party’s ability to control,
to secure materials or transportation facilities, or the intervention of any
governmental authority, then such performance will be excused during the course
of such events and for a reasonable time thereafter. To assert the right to
suspend performance, a Party must provide notice to the other Party within
seven
(7) days of the event justifying the suspension. The Parties will make
commercially reasonable efforts to minimize the impact of such events, and
the
party receiving such notification shall be entitled to suspension of its
performance during such period of interruption.
10
Additionally,
Licensor agrees that it shall notify Licensee within three (3) business days
of
its receipt of any impending or threatened interruption in the supply of any
components, which would impair Licensor’s ability to deliver Trillennium Systems
in accord with the terms of this Agreement.
16.

If this
Agreement is terminated for any reason, Licensee will have One Hundred Twenty
(120) days to dispose of its remaining inventory of Trillennium Products or

terms of this Agreement. If Licensee is unable to sell all remaining inventory
within this period, Licensor will make reasonable efforts to find a third party
buyer or otherwise dispose of the inventory.
17.
GOVERNING
LAW.
All
matters arising out of or relating to this Agreement and the transactions
contemplated hereby (including without limitation its interpretation,
construction, performance and enforcement) shall be governed by and construed
in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Ohio without giving effect
to
any choice or conflict of law provision or rule (whether of the State of Ohio
or
any other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of laws of any
jurisdictions other than those of the State of Ohio to be applied.
18.
SUBMISSION
TO JURISDICTION.
Each of
the Parties to this Agreement:
(a)
submits to the personal jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Ohio in

security that might be required of any other Party with respect thereto. Any
Party hereto may make service on the other Party by sending or delivering a
copy
of the process to the Party to be served at the address and in the manner
provided for the giving of notices in Section 19. Nothing in this Section 18,

herein shall be deemed to constitute Licensor and Licensee as partners or
otherwise associated in or with the business of the other. Licensee is and
will
always remain an independent contractor and neither Party shall be liable for
any debts, obligations, or liabilities of the other. Neither Party is authorized
to incur debts or other obligations of any kind on the part of or as agent

the other. It is expressly recognized that no fiduciary relationship exists
between the Parties.

21.
WAIVERS.
The
failure or delay of either Party to require performance by the other of any
provision of this Agreement will not affect the right of that Party to require
performance of that provision or to exercise any right, power, or remedy under
this Agreement. A waiver regarding a breach of a provision of this Agreement
is
not to be construed as a waiver of any continuing or succeeding breach of that
provision, a waiver of the provision itself, or a waiver of any right, power,
or
remedy under this Agreement.
22.
SURVIVAL.
All
agreements, representations, and warranties made in this Agreement or made
in
writing pursuant to this Agreement will survive the termination or execution

not
then fail in its essential purpose or purposes. The Parties agree that they
will
negotiate in good faith to replace any invalid or unenforceable provision or
provisions with suitable provisions to maintain the economic purposes and
intentions of this Agreement.
