third party as a matter of right.
4. Confidentiality of Proprietary Information; Covenant Not to Compete
4.1 LICENSOR, LICENSEE acknowledge that certain aspects of the
technology licensed herein may never issue as a patent, and may
not otherwise enter the public domain, and further acknowledge
that such technology that is not patented or otherwise in the
public domain may constitute a valuable trade secret of a party.
Each party agrees that it will hold in confidence all
information of the other party which is disclosed to it under
conditions wherein the disclosure is designated as containing
confidential information, whether such disclosure is made orally
or in writing. It is expressly agreed that the Licensed Patents
and the Licensed Technology, to the extent that information
relating thereto is not in the public domain by publication or
otherwise, shall be considered as the sole property of and a
trade secret of LICENSOR. It is expressly agreed that inventions
and improvements related to the Licensed Patents and the
Licensed Technology and made by LICENSEE's employees, to the
extent that they are not in the public domain by publication or
otherwise, shall be considered as a trade secret of LICENSEE.
Each employee of party who receives confidential information of
the other party shall agree in writing not to disclose or
communicate such information to any unauthorized person.
4.2 The provisions of Section 4.1 above notwithstanding, LICENSOR recognizes
that LICENSEE may wish to publicize certain aspects of subject matter of
the Licensed Patents and the Licensed Technology that LICENSOR considers or
could consider to be a trade secret, for the purpose of marketing the
Licensed Products and processes licensed hereunder. If LICENSEE wishes to
make a publication of information that LICENSOR may consider a trade
secret, LICENSEE will request in writing, including electronic mail,
LICENSEOR's permission therefore at least 5 days prior to such publication.
If LICENSOR does not respond to LICENSEE within such 5-day period,
LICENSOR's permission shall be deemed to have been granted. Routine
marketing efforts such as available tests of the licensed product,
literature, testimonials, professional assessments, public assessments,
pictures or representations of the product are not considered proprietary
or requiring Licensor approval for dissemination.
4.3 LICENSEE undertakes to continue to take all reasonable and necessary
precautions and actions to maintain in secrecy of the accumulated body of
knowledge, skill, discoveries, developments, tests, and procedures
constituting the Proprietary Information. LICENSEE further undertakes that
it will not disclose the Proprietary Information to any third party that
such third party will receive and maintain in strict confidence all such
information disclosed to it by LICENSEE and that such third party will take
all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized use or disclosure of
such information to others. In no event, however, shall either LICENSOR or
LICENSEE disclose the Proprietary Information to any third party for a
purpose which is, or which it has reasonable grounds to believe is,
inconsistent with or in violation of its obligations to LICENSOR under this
Agreement.
4.4 LICENSEE undertakes to receive and protect, and to maintain in strict
confidence, all Proprietary Information disclosed to it by LICENSOR, as
well as all flow sheets, drawings, descriptions, specifications, operating

application filed with respect thereof. Without limiting the foregoing,
LICENSEE agrees that it will not, without LICENSOR's prior written consent,
disclose any Proprietary Information or such other confidential information
to any third party or permit any third party to visit any facility where
LICENSEE's activities pursuant to this Agreement are conducted, unless such
third party has agreed in writing to the confidentiality provisions set
forth in this Section 4. LICENSEE will make all further necessary and
reasonable efforts to insure that its employees, agents, consultants, and
any other persons to whom it is necessary to disclose the Proprietary
Information, will hold such Proprietary Information in strict confidence.
LICENSEE covenants that it will use the Proprietary Information and other
confidential information furnished by LICENSOR to it only pursuant to and
in strict compliance with this Agreement, only for the purpose of its
activities under this Agreement. LICENSEE further agrees that it will not,
without LICENSOR's prior written consent, use for its own benefit (other
than for the purpose permitted by this Agreement) or for the benefit of
another, reproduce or copy, or permit the reproduction or copying, of any
physical, mechanical, electrical, or electronic medium in which the
Proprietary Information is recorded. LICENSEE's covenants in this Section 4
shall continue during the term of this Agreement and for 10 years after the
termination hereof.
4.5 LICENSOR agrees that it will not compete with LICENSEE in the sale of
Licensed Products in the Territory and will not sell, market, provide
consulting services, or in any way attempt to participate in the
commercialization of any other product in the Territory that competes with
the Licensed Products.

party who had no duty of confidentiality to LICENSOR with respect to such

from LICENSOR; (iii) become or became at any time a part of the public
domain, by publication or otherwise, without any breach by LICENSEE of a
duty of confidentiality to LICENSOR; or (iv) is approved for release by
prior written authorization of LICENSOR.

obtain equitable relief to enjoin LICENSEE from violating its respective
covenants in this Agreement.

operations.

this Agreement by LICENSEE.

from the date of execution through December 31, 2006 and shall be

ineffective or obsolete at anytime within the first twelve months, the
Licensee is able to terminate the lease. Under this circumstance, the
Licensee may continue to have manufactured and continue selling product as
it may choose to do so until all costs have been recovered. No royalties or
other fees to Licensor will be considered until after all costs of
development have been recovered. No other agreement by the Licensor after
terminating this lease will infringe upon the Licensee's right to recover
its costs. A quarterly reporting will be provided to Licensor of total
costs and collections against it if this provision is enacted by the
Licensee.

Agreement may be terminated forthwith by LICENSOR upon furnishing written
notice to that effect to LICENSEE.

inability to pay its debt as they mature, make an assignment for the
benefit of creditors, or be declared bankrupt, or go into liquidation or
receivership, or become a party to a dissolution proceeding or be admitted

of competent jurisdiction against LICENSEE to effectuate the provisions of
this Section and that LICENSEE hereby consents to LICENSOR obtaining such
injunction.
