and allowing the use thereof by, third party subcontractors involved in the
manufacture of EASi IR Products on behalf of EASi, provided that EASi first
obtains from any such subcontractor an agreement to keep confidential the
Licensed Technology and not use the Licensed Technology except for such purpose.

(c) That it has the full and exclusive right and power to
enter into and perform according to the terms of this Agreement.
2.7 Mutual Indemnity.
(a) Extended hereby agrees to indemnify EASi from those
damages finally awarded to EASi against Extended or to a third person against
EASi, or settlement payments made to a third person by EASi with the consent of
Extended (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and save, and hold
EASi harmless from any and all claims or losses (including attorneys' and expert
witnesses' fees) (collectively, the "EASi Damages") arising out of or in
connection with or by reason of or resulting from a breach of any of the
warranties, representations or agreements made by Extended in this Section 2. In
the event Extended rejects a settlement offer in a third person action, Extended
must thereafter assume the defense of such action and promptly reimburse EASi
for the EASi Damages. Prompt notice shall be given to Extended of any third
person action to which the indemnity relates and Extended shall have the right,
at its own expense, to control the defense or settlement thereof with counsel of
its choice, at Extended's expense. EASi shall provide Extended with reasonable
information, authority and assistance necessary to perform under this indemnity.
Reasonable out-of-pocket expenses incurred by EASi for such assistance
(including attorneys' fees) will be promptly reimbursed by Extended.
(b) EASi hereby agrees to indemnify Extended from those
damages finally awarded to Extended against EASi or to a third person against
Extended, or settlement payments made to a third person by Extended with the
consent of EASi (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), and save,
and hold Extended harmless from any and all claims or losses (including

arising out of or in connection with or by reason of or resulting from a breach
of any of the warranties representations, or agreements made by EASi in this
Section 2. In the event EASi rejects a settlement offer in a third person
action, EASi must thereafter assume the defense of such action and promptly
reimburse Extended for the Extended Damages. Prompt notice shall be given to

Technology; provided, however, that no such action shall be required to the
extent that it would be commercially unreasonable to take such action.
2.9 Indemnification for Infringement. Notwithstanding anything
herein to the contrary, Extended will defend EASi against a claim that the
Licensed Technology furnished and used within the scope of this Agreement
infringes a patent which is held by someone other than Extended (a "Claim"), and
Extended will indemnify EASi from, and hold EASi harmless against, any damages
finally awarded or final settlement amount based upon a Claim, provided that:
(i) EASi notifies Extended in writing within thirty (30) days after written
notification of a Claim is received by EASi; and (ii) Extended shall have the
-5-

right, in its sole discretion, to assume the defense and all related settlement
negotiations; provided, however, that no settlement may be made which could
infringe upon or impair the rights of EASi to use the Licensed Technology or
otherwise without the prior written consent of EASi.
In the event the Licensed Technology is held or reasonably believed by
Extended to infringe, Extended shall have the option, at its expense, to replace
or modify the Licensed Technology with a version that is non-infringing, or, at
the option of EASi, either: (i) procure for EASi the right to continue the use,
sale and marketing of such Licensed Technology; or (ii) immediately refund all
amounts previously paid by EASi to Extended pursuant to Section 2.10 below.

[*] $[*]
[*] $[*]
subject to the remainder of this Section 2.10 (the "Earned Royalties"). No
Earned Royalties shall be due or payable by EASi to Extended with respect to
sales of EASi IR Products by EASi to Extended. Notwithstanding the above, in the
event Extended licenses any or all of the Licensed Technology for a fee or
royalties which are less than the royalties payable hereunder, then the royalty
rate payable hereunder shall thereafter be reduced to such lower fee or rate.
(b) Within [*] ([*]) days after the end of each calendar [*]
with respect to which EASi owes Extended any Earned Royalties, EASi shall
furnish Extended with a statement, together with payment for any amount shown
thereby to be due to Extended. The royalty statement shall be based upon unit
sales of the EASi IR Products during the calendar quarter then ended, and shall
contain information sufficient to discern how the royalty payment, if any, was
computed.
(c) EASi agrees to keep all proper records and books of
account and all proper entries therein relating to the manufacture and sale of
EASi IR Products and the sublicensing of the Licensed Technology. Extended may,
at Extended's expense, cause an audit to be made of the applicable records in
order to verify statements rendered hereunder. Any such audit shall be conducted
only by a certified public accountant (other than on a contingency-fee bass) and
shall be conducted during regular
[*] CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
-6-

business hours at EASi's offices and in such a manner as not to interfere with
EASi's normal business activities. Prompt payment of any amount found due and
owing Extended under this Section shall be made by EASi upon demand by Extended.
Extended hereby agrees to make available to EASi, upon reasonable request, and
at a reasonable place and time, its records and reports pertaining to the audit
and any such records and reports prepared for Extended by third parties, but
only in the event that Extended makes any claim with respect to such audit. EASi
may, prior to making any additional payments as provided above, review such
records and reports and challenge the audit, in which event such additional
payments shall not be made until the audit issues are resolved.

permanent injunctive relief.
(d) It is the intent of each of the Parties that the
covenants not-to-compete contained in this Section 4 be enforced to the fullest

necessary to make such covenant enforceable.
(e) Each of the Parties hereto recognizes and agrees that
this Section 4 is necessary and essential to the protection of the business
conducted and to be conducted in the future by the Parties and/or their
respective affiliates, and to enable the Parties to realize and derive all of

agreements contained herein are solely for the benefit of the Parties. No other

the first Party of the arbitrator's name and address and of any other issue or
issues to be arbitrated. The two arbitrators so named shall appoint a third
arbitrator within a period of 30 days after which the first Party receives
notice of appointment of the second arbitrator. If the Party upon which demand
for arbitration is served fails to appoint an arbitrator within 20 days, or if
the two arbitrators so named fail to appoint a third arbitrator within 30 days,
then the Party demanding the arbitration in the first case and either Party in
the second case, may apply to an appropriate court to appoint an arbitrator; and
in the case of a Party failing to appoint an arbitrator, the Party demanding
arbitration may at the same time also request the court to appoint its
arbitrator. The decision or award of the three arbitrators will be final and
binding upon the Parties. Any decision or award rendered by the arbitrators may
be entered as a judgment or order in any court having jurisdiction.

of this Agreement inhibits either Party from remaining competitive in the
marketplace, the Parties agree to negotiate in good faith an amendment to this
Agreement to minimize or eliminate such hindrance to the extent reasonably
acceptable to the Parties.
5.12 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple
counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original for all purposes and all
of which when taken together shall constitute a single instrument.
