In the event of timely rejection by SHC, DSM PTG shall, within thirty (30) business days after receipt thereof, notify SHC of whether it accepts SHC’s notice of nonconformity or it shall be deemed to accept such notice.

(c) Disagreement. If DSM PTG disagrees with any purported nonconformity issue raised by SHC, then both parties agree to cooperate in good faith and make every reasonable effort to resolve the disagreement. If DSM PTG confirms SHC’s rejection under (i) or (ii) above in Section 8.4(b), or if SHC’s rejection is otherwise due to (iii) above in Section 8.4(b), then DSM PTG shall, at its sole expense and option, and in a reasonably prompt manner, but in no event more than sixty (60) days after receipt of SHC’s rejection statement, either replace the nonconforming Licensed Product with conforming Licensed Product or refund to SHC the purchase price thereof or credit such amounts if not already paid.

13. RELATIONSHIP MANAGEMENT

13.1 Meetings.

(a) SHC and DSM PTG shall cause their respective employees to hold Quarterly Business Reviews (QBR) to review and discuss strategic issues such as but not limited to: business trends effecting both the SHC and DSM PTG, price increase, forecasted quantity requirements, delivery performance, quality performance, payment performance, Assembly pricing, manufacturing capacity, compliance issues, and any other matter relating to the business relationship of the parties.

(b) Other Recurring Communications. SHC shall permit its cross-functional team to communicate directly with DSM PTG’s program management team, and DSM PTG shall permit its program management team to communicate directly with SHC’s cross-functional team, with respect to quality, MRP, operations, purchasing, engineering, and any other matters relating to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. SHC shall cause its operations, purchasing, engineering, and other applicable personnel to communicate as directly as reasonably possible with their respective counterparts at DSM PTG, and DSM PTG shall cause its MRP, operations, purchasing, engineering, and other applicable personnel to communicate as directly as reasonably possible with their respective counterparts at SHC.

14. ASSEMBLY MANAGEMENT

(a) Assembly Changes: If SHC desires to modify the Specifications or Xxxx of Materials for any Assembly, then SHC shall work with DSM PTG and deliver or cause to deliver to DSM PTG either an Engineering Change Notice in writing that describes the modification in detail or a revision of the affected Document that includes the changes as set forth at Exhibit M. However; DSM PTG shall determine the effects of such Change at the time of submission and provide notice to SHC of such effects thereof. If SHC desires to implement any such modification, then within 30 calendar days after the receipt of the related notice, SHC shall deliver the signed and approved Engineering Change Notice to DSM PTG for execution. If SHC fails to deliver to DSM PTG such notice within such 30-calendar-day period, then SHC shall be deemed to have elected not to implement the modification. DSM PTG shall implement any such modification approved by SHC in accordance with a mutually agreed schedule.

(b) If DSM PTG proposes to modify the Specifications or Xxxx of Materials for any Assembly, then DSM PTG shall deliver to SHC a proposed Engineering Change Notice that describes the modification in detail and sets forth (i) any change in the purchase price or delivery schedule of the related Assembly and (ii) a description of any Materials relating to the Assembly that will be rendered obsolete as a result of the implementation of such modification and DSM PTG’s standard material cost therefore. If SHC desires to accept any such proposal, then within 30 calendar days after the receipt of the proposed Engineering Change Notice, SHC shall deliver to DSM PTG notice to such effect. If SHC fails to deliver to DSM PTG such notice within such 30-calendar-day period, then SHC shall be deemed to have rejected the proposal. If SHC rejects any such proposal, then SHC and DSM PTG shall jointly review the reasons therefore. DSM PTG shall not implement any proposal to modify the Specifications or Xxxx of Materials for any Assembly unless and until SHC has accepted the proposal.

15. INSURANCE AND INDEMNIFICATION

15.1 Insurance and Indemnification. SHC shall cause DSM PTG and its Affiliates, and their respective agents, employees, officers, employees, shareholders and contractors (“Indemnitees”), to be named as additional insureds on policies of general commercial liability and Assemblies liability insurance covering SHC, which coverage shall have limits of liability which are commercially reasonable. Within five (5) days of the beginning of each policy period SHC shall supply DSM PTG with a certificate evidencing the coverage required hereby and the amount thereof. Such coverage shall be maintained for not less than five (5) years following termination of this Agreement, or, if such coverage is of the “claims made” type, for ten (10) years following termination of this Agreement. SHC shall indemnity, defend and hold harmless DSM PTG and the other Indemnitees from and against all losses, liabilities, claims, causes of action, and expenses (including attorneys’ fees and litigation costs), resulting from bodily injury (including death), or property damage arising out of or related to, or asserted to arise from, any Material or Assembly which is the subject of this Agreement, unless it is determined in a court of competent jurisdiction that the loss, damage or claim is the consequence of the negligence or willful act of DSM PTG. DSM PTG shall defend, indemnity and hold harmless SHC against all loss, damages or claims caused by the negligence or willful acts of DSM PTG with total aggregate indemnification obligations of DSM PTG capped at one (1) times annual sales to SHC in the initial year of this Agreement. The insurance referred to above shall provide contractual liability

coverage covering SHC’s obligations under the preceding sentence.

16. PATENTS AND INFRINGEMENT

16.1 Patents. DSM PTG may, but shall have no obligation to, prosecute applications and maintain patents covering Subject Technology or DSM PTG Materials. If it elects to do so, DSM PTG shall be responsible for any of its expenses, including attorney’s fees that DSM PTG incurs in order to obtain or maintain the patent(s).

16.2 Notice of lnfringement. SHC shall promptly inform DSM PTG of any suspected infringement of any claims in any Patent or misuse, misappropriation, theft or breach of confidence of other proprietary rights in the Subject Technology or any DSM PTG Materials by a third party.

16.3 Warranty. DSM PTG warrants that, to the best of its knowledge, the DSM PTG Materials, components thereof and their materials and manufacturing processes and the Subject Technology, as the same may exist as of the Effective Date, do not infringe any third party patents or other intellectual property rights, and each party shall reasonably cooperate with the other in any investigations undertaken to determine any potential infringement.

16.4 Remedy. In the event of a breach of the warranty given by DSM PTG in Section 16.3, DSM PTG shall take any one or more of the following actions, simultaneously or sequentially: (a) attempt to redesign the allegedly infringing Assembly so as to make it non-infringing, and (b) if such redesign is impossible or impracticable, attempt to obtain for itself and the benefit of SHC a license to manufacture and sell the allegedly infringing Assembly, or (c) only after attempting, in good faith, to take the aforementioned actions and failing, terminate this Agreement, including without limitation, all licenses granted hereunder and all payment obligations of SHC hereunder.

16.5 Invalidity. DSM PTG warrants to SHC that: (a) it is unaware of any prior art which would render any of the patents under the Subject Technology invalid; (b) it has not received a third party claim of invalidity or unenforceability of any of the Patents under the Subject Technology; (c) it is unaware of any third party allegations of misappropriation of third party trade secrets by DSM PTG; and (d) that it is unaware of any third party claim of ownership of or invalidity of any of the Subject Technology. To the best of DSM PIG’s knowledge, the license of the Subject Technology hereunder by DSM PTG to SHC pursuant to this Agreement will not violate any right of any third party and DSM PTG has the right and authority to enter into this Agreement and to grant the license granted herein.

17. TERMANDTERMINATION

17.1 Term. The Term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and terminate on the third (3rd) anniversary of the Effective Date upon receipt of ninety (90) days written notice from either Party of their intent to terminate. After the third anniversary of the Effective Date, this Agreement shall continue on a year to year basis until terminated by written notice as set forth above. This Agreement may also be terminated pursuant to its terms, including under section 4.2, 17.2 or 17.3 of this Agreement. SHC shall ***, despite any expiry of a Patent listed on Exhibit A, in which case the License granted under Section 3.1 shall be a license in and to all Subject Technology except the

Patent. ***

17.2 Termination by Consent or for Breach. This Agreement may be terminated at any time by the mutual written agreement of the Parties. In addition, either Party may terminate the Agreement, after providing written notice and sixty (60) days’ opportunity to cure, if the other Party breaches a material provision of this Agreement. DSM PTG shall have the right, at its option, to cancel and terminate this Agreement in the event that SHC shall (i) cease to purchase all its requirements of Assemblies meeting the description and Specifications set forth at Exhibit M, or (ii) become involved in insolvency, dissolution, bankruptcy or receivership proceedings affecting the operation of its business or (iii) make an assignment of all or substantially all of its assets for the benefit of creditors, or in the event that (iv) a receiver or trustee is appointed for SHC and SHC shall, after the expiration of thirty (30) days following any of the events enumerated above, have been unable to secure a dismissal, stay or other suspension of such proceedings. The failure of any party to exercise any right of termination or other right shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any right such party might have to exercise or enforce that right, upon any subsequent breach.

17.3 Effect of Termination. Any termination of this Agreement shall automatically terminate all licenses granted hereunder unless otherwise set forth herein. Termination of this Agreement shall not, however, terminate the rights and obligations of the Parties under Sections 3, 12, 15, 17 and 18 hereof.

18. CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

18.1 Protection of Information. In the performance of this Agreement DSM PTG and SHC may exchange certain Confidential Information. The Parties shall use such information of the other only for the purposes of this Agreement. A party shall disclose the Confidential Information of the other only to those of its employees, directors, agents or associates who have a reasonable need for such Confidential Information in connection with the permitted use of such Confidential Information. The receiving Party of Confidential Information shall inform, its employees, directors, agents or associates who receive such Confidential Information of the terms of this Agreement , and shall take all necessary and appropriate actions to preserve the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, including, without limitation, placing suitable confidentiality legends on all Confidential Information so disclosed and using the same degree of care receiving Party exercises to protect its own proprietary or confidential information (but which in any event shall be not less than a reasonable standard of care). All documents, discs and other materials containing Confidential Information shall remain the sole property of the disclosing Party. The receiving Party shall promptly return all such materials on request, but such return shall not affect the continuing obligations of the receiving Party hereunder. The provisions of this Section 18 are in addition to, and not in lieu of, the obligations of the Parties under the Mutual Confidentiality Agreement dated December 16,2009 executed by the Parties or their Affiliates, the terms of which shall remain in effect.

18.2 Permitted Use. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall in any way restrict either Party’s right to use, disclose or otherwise deal with any Confidential Information which: (a) at the time of disclosure is generally available to the public, or thereafter becomes generally

*** Portions of this page have been omitted pursuant to a request for confidential treatment filed separately with the commission.

available to the public through no act of the receiving Party in violation of this Agreement; (b) was in the possession of the receiving Party prior to the time of disclosure and such possession is documented by written evidence in existence at the time of such disclosure and was not acquired, directly or indirectly, from the disclosing Party; (c) is independently made available as a matter of right to the receiving Party by a third party lawfully entitled to possess such Confidential Information, provided such third party did not violate any legal obligation to the disclosing Party or any other person or acquire such Confidential Information directly or indirectly from the disclosing Party, or (d) the receiving Party is required to disclose under applicable laws or regulations or a court or other governmental order, provided that (i) except where impracticable, the receiving Party provides the disclosing Party with reasonable advance notice of such disclosure requirement and affords the disclosing Party opportunity to oppose or limit, secure confidential treatment for, such required disclosure, and (ii) the recipient discloses only that portion of the Confidential Information that the receiving Party is legally required to disclose.

19. GENERAL

19.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York without regard to conflicts of law principles. The Parties also agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.

19.2 Complete Agreement; Modification; Waiver. This Agreement, including its Exhibits, which are hereby incorporated by reference, and any other agreement or Mutual Confidentiality Agreement referred to herein are intended as the complete, final and exclusive statement of the terms of the agreement between the Parties with regard to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any and all agreements between them relating to the subject matter hereof. No modification, change, or amendment to this Agreement, or any waiver of any rights in respect hereto, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Party to be charged. The waiver of any breach or default hereunder shall not constitute the waiver of any subsequent breach or default.

19.3 Notices. Any notice or report required or permitted by this Agreement shall be deemed given if delivered personally or if sent by either Party to the other by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid, or internationally recognized courier, for overnight delivery, or by electronic transmission (e.g. E-mail or facsimile). If by personal delivery or by courier, delivery shall be effective on receipt. If by electronic transmission, delivery shall be effective on the day after transmission. If by mail, delivery shall be effective on the third business day after mailing. Notices shall be transmitted as follows:

19.4 Assignment and Successors. Neither Party shall assign this Agreement or any rights hereunder, or delegate any obligations hereunder, without the prior written consent of the other Party, except as expressly permitted hereby. Either Party shall be entitled to assign its interest in this Agreement and to delegate its obligations under this Agreement, in whole but not in part, in connection with a merger or other business combination in which it is not the surviving entity or to a party which acquires substantially all of the business and assets of the transferring Party which are related to the line of business which is the subject of this Agreement and which assumes in writing the transferring Party’s obligations hereunder. Such assignment or delegation shall not relieve the transferring Party of its obligations hereunder, and such Party shall remain secondarily liable therefore. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and assigns.

19.5 Severability. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable, the validity, legality, and enforceability of any of the remaining provisions shall not in any way be affected or impaired thereby.

19.6 Arbitration. Any dispute arising under or relating to this Agreement shall be decided by binding arbitration as follows. The Parties shall use all reasonable efforts to resolve the dispute through direct discussions within 30 days of written notice that there is such a dispute. If no amicable settlement is reached as a result of the discussions, the matter shall be finally settled by arbitration conducted expeditiously by a single neutral arbitrator in accordance with the applicable rules of the American Arbitration Association. No arbitrator may serve who has had at any time a material personal or financial relationship with any participant to the dispute or any Affiliate of any such participant. The place of arbitration shall be in the county in which is located the principal place of business of the respondent. The arbitrator is not empowered to modify the terms of this Agreement. The arbitrator shall award costs and attorneys’ fees to the prevailing Party. The dispute resolution proceedings contemplated by this provision shall be as confidential and private as permitted by law. To that end, the Parties shall not disclose the existence, content or results of any proceedings conducted in accordance with this provision, and materials submitted in connection with such proceedings shall not be admissible in any other proceeding; provided, however, that this confidentiality provision shall not prevent a petition to vacate or enforce an arbitral award, and shall not bar disclosures required by law. The Parties agree that any decision or award resulting from proceedings in accordance with this dispute resolution provision shall have no preclusive effect in any other matter involving third parties. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the enforcement of any right under this Agreement reasonably requires recourse to the equitable remedies provided by a court, due to the immediacy or nature of the remedy sought (for example, a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order), then either Party may pursue such equitable remedies in a court of competent jurisdiction if otherwise permissible by law pending submission of the matter to arbitration.

19.7 Compliance with Laws. SHC shall at all times during the term of this Agreement and for

so long as it shall sell Licensed Products comply with all laws and regulations that apply to import, export, manufacture, use, sale, marketing, distribution and other commercial exploitation of Licensed Products or any other activity undertaken pursuant to this Agreement.

19.8 Non-Waiver. The parties covenant and agree that if a party fails or neglects for any reason to take advantage of any of the terms provided for the termination of this Agreement or if a party, having the right to declare this Agreement terminated, shall fail to do so, any such failure or neglect by such party shall not be a waiver or be deemed or be construed to be a waiver of any cause for the termination of this Agreement subsequently arising, or as a waiver of any of the terms, covenants or conditions of this Agreement or of the performance thereof. None of the terms, covenants and conditions of this Agreement may be waived by a party except by its written consent.

19.9 Independent Contractors. The Parties hereby acknowledge and agree that each is an independent contractor and that neither Party shall be considered to be the agent, representative, master or servant of the other Party for any purpose whatsoever, and that neither Party has any authority to enter into a contract, to assume any obligation, or to give warranties or representations on behalf of the other party. Nothing in this relationship shall be construed to create a relationship of joint venture, partnership, fiduciary or other similar relationship between the Parties.

19.10 Publicity. During the Term and thereafter, except as required by applicable law, neither Party shall, without securing the prior written consent of the other Party, release the terms of this Agreement to any third party, publicly announce the terms of this Agreement or otherwise use the name of the other Party in any website, publication or press release without the prior written consent of the other Party.
