firm, noncancelable orders. Changes to this [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED]/*/ -month purchase order may be submitted monthly to PRESSTEK.
Monthly Press shipment requirements beyond the [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED]/*/ -month firm period may be reduced by up to [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED]/*/ percent of the original forecast. Forecasted monthly press
shipments beyond [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ months may be increased
or decreased by up to [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ percent of the
original forecast. PRESSTEK will make commercially reasonable efforts to
accommodate requested monthly shipment increases that have less an [CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ -month notification. XEROX shall place the first
purchase order for [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ Presses not later than
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ and [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/

each calendar quarter (April 15th, July 15th, October 15th, January 15th), XEROX
will submit a new order/forecast outlining the next [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED]/*/-month Press shipment requirements. Each such forecast/order shall
specify the Presses and features desired and the quantity and month of delivery
requested. For the first [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ months of the
forecast period, XEROX will designate the Press with adequate specificity so
that the Press can be fully manufactured (four or five color, Perfector and
location, and voltage/frequency); the forecast for the next [CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ months of the forecast period shall be in adequate
detail to order parts and components for the manufacture of such Presses; and
the forecast for the last [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ months of the
forecast period shall be sufficient for the ordering of long-lead time parts and
components for such Presses. The parties shall cooperate fully with one another
in the formulation of such descriptions.
b. Shipment Releases. A shipment release document, which
specifies the shipping address of Presses ordered, is required by the first day
of the requested shipping month. If XEROX fails to provide shipment releases for
Presses which are the subject of firm orders pursuant to this Subsection by the
end of the month during which the Presses are scheduled for shipment, PRESSTEK
may ship such Presses to a default address or consign the Presses to an isolated
location at the manufacturing facility or to a bonded warehouse and invoice
XEROX for the final payment for such Presses. Payment for such Presses shall be
due pursuant to the payment terms of this Agreement from the date of XEROX'
receipt of correct invoice without regard to the actual date of shipment. Such
products shall be stored in a facility agreed to between the parties, and the
costs of such storage shall be paid by XEROX.
c. Installment Payments for Presses. Except with respect to
[CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ Presses ordered in the first [CONFIDENTIAL
TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ months following the Available Date, the pay terms for
which the parties shall negotiate in good faith in an amendment hereto, payment
for each [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ Press ordered shall be due in the

TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ percent of the applicable price per Exhibit G shall be
due [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ days following shipment. Payment for
Consumables shall be due [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ days from
shipment. All payments are due following XEROX' receipt of a correct invoice,
subject to the provisions of Section 7(m). To the extent PRESSTEK has not
received payment when due, PRESSTEK may suspend its obligations to manufacture
and deliver the Press for which payment is due but not received. If in any
forecast the number of Presses projected during the [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT
REQUESTED]/*/ or [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ month of such projection
period decreases within the allowable limits provided herein, any and all
amounts previously paid for such Press pursuant to this Section shall be
refunded or credited against future amounts due, at XEROX' election.
d. Anything in this Section to the contrary notwithstanding,
PRESSTEK shall not be deemed in breach of its obligations to deliver Presses

Product(s) to its customers beyond such termination or expiration date, PRESSTEK
and XEROX agree to negotiate in good faith, and in a timely manner, terms and
conditions to allow XEROX to fulfill such commitments. In the absence of
agreement as to such terms and conditions, the parties agree to submit such
dispute to arbitration as set forth in Section 33 hereof, and PRESSTEK shall
continue to deliver Products to XEROX during the pendency of such arbitration at
price levels which were in effect immediately prior to such termination or

documentation necessary to continue servicing Product(s) sold and/or licensed
hereunder prior to any breach and the right to dispose of its inventory of
Product(s), subject to all payment obligations to PRESSTEK.
f. Survival. Any termination of this Agreement shall not serve
to eliminate any liability arising out of conduct prior to the actual date of
termination, including any uncontested accrued payment obligation, and either
party may, following such termination, pursue such remedies as may be available
with respect to such liabilities. Any and all such payments accrued hereunder as
of the date of termination shall remain due and payable in accordance with the
terms hereof. Termination of this Agreement shall immediately terminate all
licenses hereunder to the software or firmware within the Presses, except for
licenses to the software or firmware for Presses which have been previously paid

party with the power or authority to act on behalf of the other party or to bind

"development partner" or the like is used to describe the parties' relationship,
XEROX and PRESSTEK agree to make it clear to third parties that these terms
refer only to the spirit of cooperation between them and neither describe, nor
expressly or implicitly create, the legal status of partners or joint venturers.

obligations or liabilities, express or implied, by reason of the conduct of such
personnel.

such courts. The parties specifically agree that the 1980 United Nations

amended from time to time, shall not apply to this Agreement. The definitions
set forth in the Incoterms of the International Chamber of Commerce, 2000
edition, shall be controlling.
30. NON-ASSIGNMENT. A party to this Agreement may not assign its rights
and obligations under this Agreement without the consent of the other party;
provided, however, that each party may assign this Agreement in connection with

party, or (b) the acquisition by a third party of a party to this Agreement by
merger, consolidation, reorganization or other business combination whereby more
than fifty (50) percent of the voting securities of a party to this Agreement

32. INVALIDITY OF PROVISIONS. If any of the provisions of this
Agreement shall contravene the laws of any country, it is agreed that such
invalidity or illegality shall not invalidate the whole agreement, but such
agreement shall be construed as if it did not contain the provisions claimed or
held to be invalid or illegal in the particular jurisdiction concerned, insofar
as such construction does not materially affect the substance of such agreement,
and the rights and obligations of the parties hereto shall be construed and
enforced accordingly. In the event, however, that such claimed invalidity or
illegality shall substantially alter the relationship between the parties hereto
materially affecting adversely the interest of either party in such
jurisdiction, then the parties hereto shall negotiate an alternative provision
not conflicting with such laws so as to maintain, to the degree reasonably
possible, the business and economic benefits and liabilities of such agreement
as initially established. If such invalidity or

-23-

and economic benefits and liabilities of the parties, then the party whose
interests are adversely affected shall have the right to terminate that portion
of this Agreement as is materially impacted by such invalidity or illegibility.
33. ARBITRATION. In the event of any dispute, controversy or claim
arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to this Agreement or breach
thereof, the parties shall attempt to resolve such matter by means of mediation
between and among the senior executives of PRESSTEK and XEROX. In the event such
mediation is unsuccessful after 60 days, then any such dispute, controversy or
claim arising out of, in connection with, or in relation to this Agreement or
breach thereof (except for claims for which equitable relief is sought or claims
related to infringement) shall be settled by arbitration in accordance with the
rules of the American Arbitration Association then in force. The parties agree
to (i) appoint an arbitrator who is knowledgeable in and familiar with the
printing and imaging industry, and instruct the arbitrator to follow substantive
rules of law; (ii) require the testimony to be transcribed; and (iii) require
the award to be accompanied by findings of fact and a statement of reasons for
the decision. The arbitrator shall have the authority to permit discovery, to
the extent deemed appropriate by the arbitrator, upon request of a party. The
arbitrator shall have no power or authority to add to or detract from the
written agreement of the parties. All costs and expenses, including attorneys'
and the arbitrator's fees, of all parties incurred in any dispute which is
determined and/or settled by arbitration pursuant to this section shall be borne
equally by the parties.. Except where clearly prevented by the area of dispute,
both parties agree to continue performing their respective obligations under
this Agreement while the dispute is being resolved. Any award shall be final,
binding and conclusive upon the parties and a judgment rendered thereon may be
entered in any court having jurisdiction thereof. This Section shall not limit
the right of any party to xxx for injunctive relief, for a breach of the
confidential obligations under the Confidentiality Agreement, for indemnified
matter or a violation of the license rights granted herein. Arbitration shall be
held in New York, New York.
34. Export Control. PRESSTEK and XEROX shall comply in all material
respects with all applicable laws and regulations respecting the export,
directly or indirectly, of any technical data acquired from the other under this
Agreement or any Product(s) utilizing any such data to any country the laws or
regulations of which at the time of export, require an export license or other
government approval, including but not limited to first obtaining such license
or approval.
35. Nonpublicity. Neither party shall (a) make any news release, public
announcement, denial or confirmation of this Agreement or its subject matter, or
(b) advertise or publish any facts relating to this Agreement, without the prior
written consent of the other party with respect to the content of any of the
foregoing, subject to applicable rules, policies, practices and procedures of
the Securities and Exchange Commission, National Association of Securities
Dealers, Inc., other authority or exchange applicable to either party, or advice
of counsel.
36. FORCE MAJEURE. Neither party shall be liable or deemed to be in
default for any delay or failure in performance under this Agreement or
interruption of services resulting directly or indirectly from acts of God,
allocation of parts and components due to civil or military authority, war,

37. TAXES.
a. Prices do not include Taxes.
b. For purposes of this section, "Taxes" shall mean any and
all taxes, duties, and similar charges imposed or collected by any governmental
entity worldwide or any political subdivision thereof and however designated or
levied and shall include any interest, penalties, or additions to tax (except as
may otherwise be specifically provided herein). "Taxes" as defined herein shall,
however, expressly exclude taxes imposed upon the net income of PRESSTEK (or
similar taxes imposed in lieu of such net income taxes, including income
withholding taxes that are required to be collected by XEROX on amounts due to
PRESSTEK).
c. If PRESSTEK is required to pay any sales, value added, use,
excise, import-related or other Taxes (whether federal, state, local, or
foreign) imposed with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement
or any license granted hereunder, such Taxes shall be paid by XEROX (1) through
remittance to PRESSTEK which shall remit such Taxes to the appropriate taxing
authority, or (2) to the applicable taxing authority, the manner and timing of
such payment to depend on the context as appropriate. In lieu of such Tax
payment, and where applicable, XEROX may provide PRESSTEK with a Tax exemption
certificate and any other appropriate documentation acceptable to the
appropriate taxing authority as provided in subsection (f) below or as mutually
agreed between the parties.
d. Any invoice on which Taxes are added to the price by
PRESSTEK shall separately state any and all such Taxes. Such original invoice
shall be supported by appropriate detail and summary billing information
provided to XEROX in a timely manner, and both the invoice and the supporting
documentation shall be in the form required by the appropriate governmental
agency or as otherwise mutually agreed.
e. PRESSTEK shall indemnify XEROX for: (i) Taxes paid by XEROX
to PRESSTEK imposed as a result of PRESSTEK's failure to remit such Taxes paid
by XEROX to PRESSTEK to the appropriate taxing jurisdiction in a timely fashion
after their receipt; (ii) any Taxes in excess of the amount of Tax which would
have been charged if the original invoice had been correct (less the interest
benefit realized by XEROX due to the time value of money relating to the delay
in payment of such Tax) relating solely to PRESSTEK's failure attributable to
its actions or inaction (except as commercially reasonable) to invoice XEROX for
the correct amount of Taxes at the time of the original invoice; and (iii) any
Tax arising from PRESSTEK'S purchase of Products that are acquired by PRESSTEK
to be resold to XEROX under this Agreement.
f. PRESSTEK and XEROX agree to cooperate to minimize and
properly calculate any applicable Taxes for which either party is responsible
under this Agreement, and, in connection therewith, XEROX shall provide PRESSTEK
any resale certificates, information regarding out-of-state use of materials,
services or sales or other exemption or tax reduction certificates or other
certificate or document of exemption or information that may be required in
order to exempt XEROX'S payment for goods and/or services from any such Taxes,
and PRESSTEK shall cooperate to the extent commercially reasonable in accepting
and supporting any claims (which XEROX in good xxxxx xxxxx to be valid) of
resale, direct pay, identifiable segment, bulk sale, occasional sale, casual
sale or other exemption. If XEROX provides certification of an exemption from
any Tax or of a reduced rate of Tax imposed by an applicable taxing authority,
under such taxing authority's rules, then PRESSTEK shall not (unless otherwise
required by law) invoice for or pay over any such Tax unless and until the
applicable taxing authority assesses such Tax, at which time PRESSTEK shall
invoice and XEROX shall pay any such Tax that XEROX erroneously claimed
exemption of or a reduced rate.

-25-
g. Subject to the provisions in the last sentence of
subsection (j) hereof, XEROX shall be entitled to, and PRESSTEK shall promptly
repay to XEROX if received by PRESSTEK, any refunds, rebates or credits of Taxes
paid by XEROX pursuant to this Agreement, together with interest thereon as paid
by the applicable taxing authority.
h. If PRESSTEK receives any assessment or other notice
(collectively "Assessment") from any taxing authority providing that Taxes are
due from PRESSTEK which are subject to payment by or indemnification from XEROX
pursuant to this Agreement, PRESSTEK shall, within thirty (30) days of receipt
of the Assessment, give XEROX written notice of the Assessment and XEROX shall
pay to PRESSTEK or directly to the taxing authority the amount of Taxes set
forth as due in the Assessment within thirty (30) days of receipt of such notice
or such shorter period as is reasonable to protect the right of protest or
appeal or other material rights; exclusive, however, of any amounts for which
PRESSTEK has indemnified XEROX in accordance with this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the above, if XEROX, in its sole discretion, determines that it
will contest an Assessment of indemnifiable Taxes rather than make a payment to
PRESSTEK or the applicable governmental taxing authority, then XEROX shall
control any such contest and PRESSTEK shall, to the extent commercially
reasonable under the circumstances, cooperate with XEROX in such contest and
provide such support, information, documents and other items that may be
reasonably beneficial to XEROX in its contest of any such Assessment. In any
case where XEROX determines to contest an Assessment, XEROX will fully indemnify
PRESSTEK for Taxes and other reasonable defense costs related thereto incurred
by PRESSTEK as a result of the contest. If any such contest or resolution
thereof could reasonably be expected to have a material effect on PRESSTEK,
PRESSTEK shall have reasonable rights to participate in such contest or
resolution and to approve any settlement or other resolution, which approval
shall not be unreasonably withheld. If PRESSTEK determines that it would prefer
that XEROX not contest an Assessment, PRESSTEK may notify XEROX at any time not
to pursue such contest, provided that PRESSTEK fully satisfies any such
Assessment. In such a case, XEROX will have no obligation to indemnify PRESSTEK
for any amounts paid or payable by PRESSTEK with respect to such Assessment.
i. In accordance with the definition of Taxes set out in
subsection (b) hereof, to the extent royalties are payable to PRESSTEK and any
amounts paid to PRESSTEK (or to XEROX on PRESSTEK's behalf) in respect of such
royalties are subject to income withholding taxes, such withholding taxes shall
be considered to be based upon PRESSTEK's net income. Accordingly, payments to
PRESSTEK in respect of such royalties shall be made net of such withholding
taxes, and XEROX shall have no obligation to indemnify PRESSTEK for any such
withholding taxes. XEROX shall promptly furnish to PRESSTEK receipts evidencing
the payment of any such withholding taxes. If PRESSTEK provides certification of
an exemption from any tax or of a reduced rate of tax imposed by an applicable
taxing authority, under the rules of such taxing authority, then XEROX shall not
(unless otherwise required by law) invoice for or pay over any such tax unless
and until the applicable taxing authority assesses such tax, at which time XEROX
shall invoice and PRESSTEK shall pay any such tax (plus any applicable interest,
penalties, or additions to tax) that PRESSTEK erroneously claimed exemption of
or a reduced rate.
j. XEROX shall indemnify PRESSTEK for any Taxes for which
XEROX bears responsibility under this Agreement, to the extent if any, that the
sum of payments and or reimbursements for Taxes made by XEROX either to PRESSTEK
or directly to taxing authorities does not fully equal the amount of Taxes that
PRESSTEK is required to pay as provided in this section 37. To the extent that
any Taxes payable by PRESSTEK that have been or would be subject to payment,
reimbursement, or indemnification by or from XEROX under this Agreement are
eligible for a tax credit or rebate to PRESSTEK, PRESSTEK will either pay over
such credit or rebate to XEROX (if XEROX has already

paid such amount to PRESSTEK) or will not pursue reimbursement or
indemnification from XEROX, as the case may be, provided that claiming such
rebate or credit and passing the benefit thereof to XEROX will not have any
material adverse tax or other effect (relative to the amount of the credit or
rebate) upon PRESSTEK and that XEROX pays the reasonable expenses to obtain such
credit or refund.

PRODUCT NAME: Presstek PEARLdry PLUS thermal laser media - spooled product.
PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: Metalized polyester film with silicone coating.
PRODUCT APPLICATION: Plate material for Presstek DI enabled printing presses.
The material is spooled on steel cores that engage unwind and take-up mechanisms
integral to the press plate cylinder. The design allows a specific amount of
material to be advanced into imaging and printing position. A thermal laser
imaging system creates a latent image on the surface of the plate. A subsequent
cleaning step removes silicone in the imaged areas, creating an ink-receptive
printing master. Up to [CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED]/*/ copies can be
produced from the printing master.
* Actual run length performance may vary.

SOURCE CODE ESCROW AGREEMENT
This SOURCE CODE ESCROW AGREEMENT is entered into by and among DATA
SECURITIES INTERNATIONAL, INC. with offices
_____________________________________________________ ("DSI" or "HOLDER");
PRESSTEK, INC., a Delaware corporation ("LICENSOR"), with offices at 0
Xxxxxxxxxx Xxxxxx, Xxxxxx, Xxx Xxxxxxxxx 00000; and Xerox Corporation, located
at ___________________________________________________________ (the "LICENSEE"
or "Licensee").
RECITALS
A. Licensor and Licensee have entered or will enter into certain Master Supply
and Distribution Agreement involving the production of Presses certain
proprietary software or firmware technology of Licensor (referred to in this
Agreement as the "MASTER AGREEMENT").
B. Licensor desires to avoid unauthorized use or disclosure of its proprietary
technology except under certain limited circumstances as defined herein.
C. The availability of the proprietary technology of Licensor is critical
to Licensee in the conduct of its business and, therefore, Licensee needs access
to the source code materials and other proprietary technology of Licensor under
certain limited circumstances if Licensor shall fail to maintain and support the
software described in the Master Agreement, or should Licensor experience
financial difficulties by becoming subject to bankruptcy or insolvency
proceedings, as defined herein.
D. Licensor and Licensee desire to establish an escrow with DSI to provide
for the retention, administration and controlled access of certain proprietary
technology materials of Licensor.
E. The parties desire this Agreement to be supplementary to the Master
Agreement pursuant to 00 Xxxxxx Xxxxxx Bankruptcy Code, Section 365(n). This
Agreement is entered into in furtherance of the provisions and objectives of
that certain Master Agreement.
For valuable consideration acknowledged by each, the parties agree that:
1. DEPOSIT. Licensor shall deposit with Holder those source code materials
specified in EXHIBIT A (the "DEPOSIT"). Licensor shall keep the Deposit at
the current revision level on an annual basis commencing with the
effective date of this Agreement. In addition, Licensor shall update the
Deposit at any time during the term or any renewal term of this Agreement
that Licensor issues a new, material version or release of the Deposit.
Licensor also agrees to comply with Holder's reasonable requests for the
deposit or replacement of Deposit materials likely to physically degrade.
2. RETENTION OF REPLACED DEPOSIT. Holder will also retain all existing and
supplanted Deposit materials for the benefit of Licensee and Licensor.
3. VERIFICATION AND DELIVERY. The Deposit shall be packaged for storage as
reasonably instructed by Holder and accompanied by a cover sheet
identifying the contents as indicated in EXHIBIT A. Risk of loss or damage
to the Deposit materials during shipment shall lie with the Licensor.
Licensee
Page 10
shall have the right to verify, at its own expense, each Deposit before
shipment at Licensor's premises.
Licensor hereby grants Licensee and Holder, free of charge, at its own
expense, the right to use the facilities of Licensor, including its
computer systems, to as reasonably necessary to verify the Deposit. Such
right shall be exercised by 30 days' prior written notice from Licensee to
Licensor and inspection will occur during Licensor's normal business hours
without undue disruption of Licensor's business. At the expense of
Licensor, Licensor shall make available Licensor's technical support
personnel as reasonably necessary to verify the Deposit.
4. STORAGE OF DEPOSIT. Holder shall safekeep the Deposit in a security vault
and exercise the same high standard of care to protect the Deposit which
Holder would use to protect items of this nature which Holder might own,
but in no event less than that standard of care customary in the industry.
5. USE AND NONDISCLOSURE. Except as expressly provided in this Agreement,
Holder shall not disclose or make any use whatsoever of the Deposit, nor
shall Holder disclose or make use of any confidential information provided
to Holder by Licensor or Licensee in connection with this Agreement
without the prior written consent of Licensor or Licensee, respectively.
These obligations shall continue indefinitely notwithstanding any
termination of this Agreement for any reason.
6. RECORDS AND AUDIT RIGHTS. Holder shall keep complete written records of
the activities undertaken and materials prepared pursuant to this
Agreement. Upon 10 days prior written notice to Holder during the term of
this Agreement, Licensor and Licensee shall be entitled to inspect and
request the records of Holder with respect to this Agreement at reasonable
times during normal business hours at Holder's facilities and to inspect
the Deposit required then to be held by Holder.
7. RELEASE OF DEPOSIT. If Licensee notifies Holder of the occurrence of a
release condition as defined in EXHIBIT B, Holder shall immediately notify
Licensor and provide Licensor with a copy of the notice from Licensee.
Licensor shall have ten (10) business days from the date Holder sends its
notice to notify Holder and Licensee that the release condition has not
occurred or has been cured. Failing such timely notice, Holder shall
release a copy of the Deposit to Licensee. However, if Holder receives
timely notice from Licensor, Holder shall not release a copy of the
Deposit but shall instead institute the Dispute Resolution Process below
within three (3) business days of such timely notice from Licensor.
8. DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCESS. Holder shall first notify Licensor and
Licensee in writing of contrary instructions from Licensee and Licensor
for release of the Deposit. Within five (5) business days after the date
the notice is sent by Holder, an independent referee shall be appointed by
the mutual agreement of Licensor and Licensee.
On the 20th business day after the dispute notice from Holder, the referee
shall meet at the San Diego, California offices of Holder, or such other
location as is mutually agreed upon by Licensor and Licensee, and shall
hear testimony and other evidence that Licensor and Licensee may wish to
present with respect to the dispute. The meetings shall be conducted from
8:30 am. to 5:30 p.m. on no more than three (3) consecutive business days,
national holidays excluded. Licensee shall present up to one day of
evidence followed by up to one day of presentation from Licensor, followed
by a final day reserved for rebuttal by each party in the morning and
afternoon, respectively. Licensor, Licensee and Holder agree that the
evidence and results of the hearings shall not be disclosed to third
parties.
Page 11
Within two business days after the close of the presentations, the referee
shall resolve the dispute by a written decision.
This dispute resolution process shall be the exclusive means for resolving
disputes regarding a release of the Deposit, and the decision of the
referees shall be final, conclusive, and enforceable by a court of
competent jurisdiction. All costs of the referee shall be split between
Licensor and Licensee.
Insofar as possible, the referee shall be, at the time of selection, a
partner or manager of a national or regional accounting or software
consulting firm (including the information processing, management support,
and affiliates thereof) not employed by or affiliated with the Licensor or
Licensee, and such referee shall be required to have relevant experience
in the field of computer software technology and licensing. The sole
issues for arbitration shall be whether there exists any material failure
of Licensor to provide any support for the Software which it is obligated
to provide under the Master Agreement and whether there has occurred a
"Release Condition" under EXHIBIT B.
9. JOINT RELEASE. Licensee and Licensor may, by joint written instruction to
Holder, authorize the release of the Deposit or a copy of it to the party
named in the instruction.
10. RIGHTS IN DEPOSIT. Licensee's rights in the Deposit are stated in EXHIBIT
C. This Agreement shall automatically terminate upon the termination of
the Master Agreement, and notice shall be provided by Licensor and
Licensee to Holder regarding such termination.
11. TERM AND TERMINATION. The account will renew each year on the anniversary
date upon receipt by Holder of the renewal fees.
If Holder does not receive the renewal fee from Licensee by the
anniversary date of this Agreement, Holder shall give notice to Licensor
and Licensee. If the fee is not received from Licensee within thirty days
of such notice, this Agreement shall automatically expire. Upon expiration
of this Agreement, Holder will return the Deposit to Licensor. All
obligations of Holder under this Agreement shall terminate thereafter,
except as provided in this Agreement.
12. FEES. All fees of Holder shall be due from Licensee in full upon receipt
of Holder's invoice. Fees shall be those specified in Holder's schedule of
fees in effect for the initial term of this Agreement plus taxes (unless
Licensee provides evidence of tax-exempt status), which schedule of fees
is attached as EXHIBIT X. Xxxxxx shall not increase fees during the term
of this Agreement.
13. ACCOUNT REPRESENTATIVE. Licensor, Licensee, and Holder shall each
designate an authorized individual to receive notices and otherwise act on
behalf of Licensor, Licensee and Holder in connection with this Agreement.
Representatives may be changed by prior written notice to the other
parties.
14. NOTICES. All notices for a release or a dispute in connection with this
Agreement shall be in writing addressed to the Account Representatives,
shall be sent by overnight courier service or electronic facsimile
transmission (with a confirmation copy to follow by first class mail,
postage prepaid) and shall be effective at the end of the next business
day following delivery.
15. AUTHENTICITY. Holder may act in reliance upon any instruction, instrument,
or signature believed to be genuine and may assume that it has been duly
authorized.
Page 12
16. HOLD HARMLESS. Licensor and Licensee will hold Holder harmless against any
action regarding the release or refusal to release a copy of the Deposit
by Holder so long as Holder has acted in good faith and in accordance with
this Agreement. Licensee and Licensor agree to defend and indemnify Holder
and hold Holder harmless from and against any and all claims, actions and
suits, whether in contract or in tort, and from and against any and all
liabilities, losses, damages, costs, charges, penalties, counsel fees, and
other expenses of any nature (including, without limitation, settlement
costs) incurred by Holder as a result of performance of the Agreement,
except in the event of a judgment which specifies that Holder acted in bad
faith or with gross negligence or willful misconduct.
17. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in
accordance with the laws of the State of New York without regard to its
conflict of laws principles.
18. PRIOR AGREEMENTS. The Master Agreement with each Licensee and this
Agreement, including the Exhibits to both Agreements, constitute the
entire agreement between the parties concerning the subject matter of this
Agreement and the Deposit, and shall supersede all previous
communications, representations, understandings, and agreements, oral or
written, between and among the parties. Licensor and Licensee acknowledge
that Holder has no knowledge of the terms and conditions contained in the
Master Agreement and that Holder's only obligations shall be as set forth
herein or in any other writing signed by Holder, Licensor and Licensee.
19. SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held by any court to
be invalid or unenforceable, then that provision will be severed from this
Agreement and the remaining provisions shall continue in force.
20. ASSIGNMENT. No party may assign any rights or delegate any obligations
under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the others, and
any attempt to do so shall be deemed void, except as provided in the
Master Agreement. Any party may assign this Agreement to a successor to
