per second) based channels, or processing DS1 (E1)/DS3 (E3) packet/cell based
channels. During such twenty four (24) month period, Premisys will always
install Premisys Products with the hardware necessary to terminate or process
either DS0 based channels or DS1 (E1) and/or DS3 (E3) packet/cell based
channels. Following such twenty-four month period, Premisys may manufacture
Premisys Products and install Premisys Products without the hardware necessary
to process either DS0 or DS1 (E1) and/or DS3 (E3) packet/cell based channels.
3.2 NO SUB-LICENSING. None of the Licensed Manufacturing Materials,
Backplane Development Materials, Software or Specifications or any derivative
works thereof may be sub-licensed by Premisys to any third-party other than as

Documentation are intended to provide design assistance to Premisys in
modifying the Backplane and Software and in incorporating the ASICs, FPGAs,
Modified Backplane and Software as modified into Premisys Products. Except as
set forth herein, Premisys has no license or implied right to disclose,
license, sell, provide or otherwise transfer the Design Documentation to any
third party.

12. INFRINGEMENT INDEMNITY.
12.1 DUTY TO INDEMNIFY AND DEFEND.
(a) Positron will indemnify Premisys against, and will defend
or settle at Positron's own expense, any action or other proceeding brought
against Premisys attributable to the acts or omissions of Positron to the
extent that it is based on a claim that the manufacture, use or sale of the
ASICs, FPGAs or Backplane, the duplication, distribution or use of the
Software, Licensed Manufacturing Materials, Backplane Development Materials,
Specifications, Design Documentation or Design Source Materials, as licensed in
this Agreement infringes any trademark, copyright or patent or that the
Software, Licensed Technology, Licensed Manufacturing Materials, Backplane
Development Materials, Specifications Design Documentation or Design Source
Materials incorporate any misappropriated trade secrets.
(b) Positron will pay any and all costs, damages, and expenses
(including but not limited to reasonable attorneys' fees) awarded against
Premisys in any such action or proceeding attributable to any such claim.
(c) Positron will have no obligation under this Section as to
any action, proceeding, or claim unless: (i) Positron is notified of it
promptly; (ii) Positron has sole control of its defense and settlement; and
(iii) Premisys provides Positron with reasonable assistance in its defense and
settlement at no cost to Positron.
12.2 INJUNCTIONS. If Premisys' use, manufacture or
distribution of any software, Licensed Technology, Licensed Manufacturing
Materials, Backplane Development Materials, Design Documentation,
Specifications or Design Source Materials (collectively, the "ITEMS") under the
terms of this Agreement is, or in Positron's opinion is likely to be, enjoined
due to the type of infringement or misappropriation specified in Subsection
12.1 above, then Positron may, at its sole option and expense, either:
(a) procure for Premisys the right to continue using such Items
under the terms of this Agreement; or
(b) replace or modify such Items so that they are noninfringing
and substantially equivalent in function to the enjoined
Products; or
(c) if options 12.2(a) and 12.2(b) above cannot be accomplished
despite the reasonable efforts of Positron, then Positron may
both:
(1) terminate Premisys rights and Positron's obligations
under this Agreement with respect to such Licensed
Technology; and
(2) refund to Premisys its actual damages but in no event
more than all initial license fees, and all royalties paid
by Premisys to Positron for such Licensed Technology.
13
12.3 EXCLUSIONS. Positron will have no obligations under this
Section 12.2 with respect to infringement or misappropriation solely arising
from (i) modifications to the Licensed Technology that were not authorized by
Positron; or (ii) the use of the Licensed Technology in combination with
products not provided by Positron.
12.4 PREMISYS DUTY TO DEFEND. Premisys agrees that, to the
fullest extent permitted by law, it will indemnify, defend and hold Positron
harmless from and against any and all third-party claims, demands, costs,
expenses, suits and judgments incurred by Positron and solely attributable to
the acts or omissions of Premisys in its performance or failure to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
13. LIMITATIONS OF LIABILITY. IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO
THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHETHER
BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY, OR
OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGE UNLESS SUCH DAMAGE IS ATTRIBUTABLE TO THE WILLFUL MISCONDUCT OF A
PARTY.

obligations under this Agreement and may terminate this Agreement for any
reason or for no reason; and (ii) Positron will have no obligations under this
Agreement except as set forth in this Section 14.1. Positron will indemnify
Premisys against, and will defend or settle at Positron's own expense, any
