THE REDACTED TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED WITH THREE ASTERISKS [***]
reasonable detail, of the Claim within twenty (20) days after receipt by Indemnitee of written notice of the Claim; provided, however, that failure to give such notification shall not affect the indemnification provided hereunder except (i) to the extent that the ability to defend such Claim or demand shall have been prejudiced as a result of such failure, and (ii) that, without limiting the foregoing in Section 8(C)(i) hereof, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable for any Claims incurred during the period prior to the giving of such notice by Indemnitee if notice is not timely given. Thereafter, Indemnitee shall deliver to the indemnifying Party within twenty (20) days after Indemnitee’s receipt thereof, copies of all notices and documents (including court papers) received by Indemnitee relating to the Claim. D. If a Claim is made against Indemnitee, the indemnifying Party shall be entitled to participate in the defense thereof and, if it so chooses, assume the defense thereof with counsel selected by and compensated by the indemnifying Party. E. Upon the assumption of the defense of the Claim by the indemnifying Party, the indemnifying Party shall not be liable to the Indemnitee for legal expenses subsequently incurred by the Indemnitee in connection with the defense thereof arising from or related to the Claim. F. All of the applicable parties shall cooperate with the Party assuming the defense, in defense of the Claim.

G. The Party assuming the defense shall keep the applicable Indemnitee and indemnifying Party fully informed regarding the progress and status thereof. H. The Party assuming the defense shall not settle, compromise, or discharge any Claim, if such settlement, compromise, or discharge could increase the amount of any indemnity obligation, without the prior written consent of any indemnifying Party or, in the case where the indemnifying Party has assumed the defense, any Indemnitee, if such settlement, compromise, or discharge requires such Indemnitee to cease any activity or to take any action (other than entering into an agreement setting forth the terms of such settlement, compromise, or discharge). I. Indemnitee, from whom the defense was assumed, shall reimburse the Party assuming the defense for all legal fees and expenses reasonably incurred in defending against such Claim if it is subsequently determined that the Claim is a claim for which indemnification is not required under this Section 8. 9. Compensation. A. Commission. Agent’s compensation under the terms of this Agreement shall be a commission equal to [***]% of Agent’s Gross Sales of Products. “Agent’s Gross 4 CERTAIN IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THIS EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED.

THE REDACTED TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED WITH THREE ASTERISKS [***]
the expiration or termination of this Agreement, Agent shall immediately cease to use all trademarks, marks and trade name of Company. C. Obligations After Expiration or Termination. The expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not release either Party from any of its obligations under this Agreement which by their nature survive termination or which were incurred prior to the date of the termination. 12. Limitation of Liability. Upon expiration or termination by either Party in accordance with any of the provisions of this Agreement, neither Party shall be liable to the other because of such expiration or termination for compensation, reimbursement or damages on account of the loss of prospective profits or anticipated sales or on account of expenditures, investments, leases or commitments in connection with the business or goodwill of Company or Agent. In such a case, Company’s sole liability under the terms of this Agreement shall be for any unpaid commissions. 13. Confidentiality. During the Term, Agent and Agent’s Parties may have access to, and be entrusted with, technical, proprietary, sales, legal, intellectual property and financial data and information with respect to the affairs and business of Company, its affiliates, subsidiaries, customers, partners and suppliers, all of which such data and information, whether documentary, written, oral, or computer generated, shall be deemed to be, and referred to as, collectively, the “Confidential Information,” except for such information which is now, or hereafter becomes, available in the public domain, or is generally known, or hereafter becomes known, in the industry, through no fault of Agent. Agent shall not, and shall cause Agent’s Parties not to, during the Term and at any time thereafter, use the Confidential Information for its own use or for any purpose except the performance of the Services performed under this Agreement. Agent further agrees that it will not, and shall cause Agent’s Parties not to, disclose Confidential Information to any person without the prior written consent of Company. If such consent to disclosure of Confidential Information is granted to Agent, then Agent shall require all individuals, to whom such Confidential Information is disclosed, to sign a nondisclosure agreement acceptable to Company, containing terms no less restrictive than the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement. Such agreements shall be provided by Agent upon request by Company, and Agent shall notify Company, in writing, of the names of such signatories to such agreements promptly after such agreements are signed. Agent agrees to, and shall cause Agent’s Parties to agree to, use not less than a reasonable degree of care to protect the secrecy of the Confidential Information. Agent agrees to promptly advise Company in writing of any misappropriation or misuse by any person of such Confidential Information which may come to its attention. Any materials or documents of Company which have been provided to Agent shall be promptly returned by Agent to Company, accompanied by all copies of such documentation, at any time upon Company’s request. Agent acknowledges that a breach of this provision may cause irreparable harm to Company, for which the remedy at law shall be inadequate and the damages may be difficult to ascertain, and therefore Agent hereby agrees that Company shall be entitled to seek equitable relief by means of mandatory injunctions without being required to post bond or other security and without having to prove the inadequacy of the available remedies at law. This right of 7 CERTAIN IDENTIFIED INFORMATION HAS BEEN EXCLUDED FROM THIS EXHIBIT BECAUSE IT IS BOTH (I) NOT MATERIAL AND (II) WOULD BE COMPETITIVELY HARMFUL IF PUBLICLY DISCLOSED. THE REDACTED TERMS HAVE BEEN MARKED WITH THREE ASTERISKS [***]
equitable relief is in addition to any other rights (such as a right to damages and interest) that may be available to Company. 14. Non-Solicitation A. During the Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Agent shall not, and shall cause Agent’s Parties not to, whether in its or their own name and on its or their behalf or in the name and on behalf of others, in any manner whatsoever, offer, solicit, interfere with or endeavor to entice away from Company or any of its affiliates, any person, firm or company with whom Company or any of its affiliates has any contractual or commercial relationship as an employer, consultant, licensor, licensee, joint-venture, supplier, customer, distributor, agent or contractor of any nature. B. During the Term and for a period of one (1) year thereafter, Company shall not, and shall cause Company’s employees not to, whether in its or their own name and on its or their behalf or in the name and on behalf of others, in any manner whatsoever, offer, solicit, interfere with or endeavor to entice away from Agent or any of its affiliates, any person, firm or company with whom Agent or any of its affiliates has any contractual or commercial relationship as an employer, consultant, licensor, licensee, joint-venture, supplier, customer, distributor, agent or contractor of any nature. C. Agent hereby represents and warrants to Company that neither it nor any of Agent’s Parties is a party to any non-competition or non-solicitation agreement, and that it is not subject to any restriction or legal obligation, that would prohibit or prevent Agent from fulfilling its obligations hereunder and performing the Services pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 15.
