Pavilion shall grant to Pegasus licenses to the Pavilion Patents and the
Pavilion Software as more specifically set forth herein.
SECTION 3. CONSIDERATION

-----------
As partial consideration for the Assets, the licenses granted hereunder,
and the covenants of Pavilion contained herein, Pegasus will pay to Pavilion
Nine Million Five Hundred Thousand and 00/100 Dollars ($9,500,000.00 USD) (the
"Base Price"), payable in installments as set forth in this Section 3.1, subject
to adjustment as provided in Sections 3.2 and 3.3, and Pegasus will assume
certain obligations of Pavilion as provided in Section 4. All payments made

00/100 Dollars ($2,000,000.00 USD) in cash.
-11-
3.2 Adjustments to Base Price.
-------------------------
The initial payment of the Base Price at the Closing will be adjusted as
follows:
3.2.1 Adjustments on a pro rata basis as of the Closing Date will
be made for all prepaid expenses (to the extent such prepayments may accrue to
Pegasus' benefit), prepaid income and accounts receivable, as more specifically
set forth in Schedule 3.2, and to reflect the principle that all expenses and
income attributable to the Segment for the period prior to the Closing Date are
for the account of Pavilion, and all expenses and income attributable to the
Segment for the period on and after the Closing Date are for the account of
Pegasus.
3.2.2 All advance payments to, or funds of third parties on
deposit with, Pavilion as of the Closing Date, as more specifically set forth in
Schedule 3.2, relating to the Segment will be retained by Pavilion and will
reduce the Base Price accordingly.
3.2.3 All deposits relating to the Segment that are held by third
parties as of the Closing Date, as more specifically set forth in Schedule 3.2,
for the account of Pavilion or as security for Pavilion's performance of its
obligations will be credited to the account of Pavilion in their full amounts to
increase the Base Price and will become the property of Pegasus.
3.3 Determination of Adjustments.
----------------------------
Preliminary and final adjustments to the Base Price will be determined as
follows:
3.3.1 Attached hereto as Schedule 3.2 is a Preliminary Adjustments
Report, delivered by Pavilion to Pegasus certified as to completeness and
accuracy by an officer of Pavilion, showing in detail the preliminary
determination of the adjustments referred to in Section 3.2, which are
calculated as of the Closing Date (or as of any other date agreed to by the
parties), together with all documents substantiating the adjustments proposed in
the Preliminary Adjustments Report. The Preliminary Adjustments Report includes
a schedule setting forth advance payments and deposits made to or by Pavilion,
as well as accounts receivable information relating to the Segment (showing sums
due and their respective aging as of the Closing Date). The net adjustment shown
in the Preliminary Adjustments Report will be reflected as an adjustment to the
portion of the Base Price payable at the Closing.
3.3.2 Within fifteen (15) Business Days after the Closing, Pavilion
will deliver to Pegasus a report (the "Final Adjustments Report"), showing in
detail the final determination of all adjustments which were not calculated as
of the Closing Date and containing any corrections to the Preliminary
Adjustments Report, together with any documents substantiating the adjustments
proposed in the Final Adjustments Report.
3.3.3 Within fifteen (15) Business Days after receipt of the Final
Adjustments Report, Pegasus will give Pavilion written notice of Pegasus'
objections, if any, to the Final Adjustments Report. If Pegasus makes any such
objection, the parties will agree on the amount,
12
if any, which is not in dispute within thirty (30) days after Pavilion's receipt
of Pegasus' notice of objections to the Final Adjustments Report. Any undisputed
amount will serve as a post-Closing adjustment to the first installment of the
Base Price payable under Section 3.1.1 (the "Undisputed Adjustment Amount"). The
Undisputed Adjustment Amount will be paid by Pegasus to Pavilion, or paid by
Pavilion to Pegasus, whichever the case may be, the later of forty-five (45)
days after the Closing Date or within three (3) Business Days after agreement on
the Undisputed Adjustment Amount. Resolution of any disputed amounts will be
determined within sixty (60) days after the Closing Date by the Chicago office
accounting firm of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, whose determination will be conclusive.
Pavilion and Pegasus will bear the fees and expenses payable to such firm in
connection with such determination in reverse proportion to the manner in which
the disputed amounts are allocated by the accountants. The payment required
after determination of all disputed amounts (the "Dispute Adjustment Amount")
will be made by the responsible Party by wire transfer of immediately available
funds to the other Party within three (3) Business Days after ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇
final determination.
3.4 Allocation of Consideration.
---------------------------
Pegasus and Pavilion will use their best efforts to agree on an allocation
of the Base Price (excluding transaction costs incurred by each of them) within
forty-five (45) days after the Closing. Upon such agreement, each of Pegasus
and Pavilion covenant to complete Form 8594, Asset Acquisition Statement of
Allocation, consistent with such mutually agreed allocation and each will file a
copy of such form with its federal income tax return for the applicable tax
year, and will file all returns and reports with respect to the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement, including all federal, state and local tax
returns, on the basis of such allocation. Pegasus and Pavilion further agree
and covenant not to take any position inconsistent with such mutually agreed
allocation for any tax purpose. If, after good-faith efforts, Pegasus and
Pavilion are unable to agree upon an allocation within sixty (60) days after the
Closing, then each Party will be free to report its own position to the Internal
Revenue Service and other taxing authorities. Each of Pegasus and Pavilion
shall provide the other Party with such information as may reasonably be
requested by such other Party in connection with the preparation of any tax
return, tax audit or tax judicial proceeding that relates to the Segment.
3.5 Royalties Due Under This Agreement.
----------------------------------
As further consideration for the licenses granted hereunder, during the
Royalty Period, Pegasus shall pay Pavilion royalties of up to Five Million Five

-----------------------------------------------------
For the Consulting Services provided by Pavilion to End Users under the
Services Agreement (as a subcontractor to Pegasus), Pegasus shall pay to
Pavilion the fees set forth in the Services Agreement. For avoidance of doubt,
so long as Pegasus and KFx are not in breach of this Agreement, and (if after
the Royalty Period) Pegasus has elected to receive Maintenance Services under
Section 8.2, no personnel time fees in addition to the Maintenance Service Fees
-13-
specified in Section 8.2 shall be due to Pavilion for Maintenance Services
provided by Pavilion to End Users under the Services Agreement. Payments for

with at least five (5) Business Days prior notice to audit Pegasus during its

Agreement. During audits, Pavilion agrees that any statements or audit results
furnished or otherwise made available to or obtained by Pavilion pursuant to
this section shall be subject to equivalent confidentiality restrictions as set
forth in Section 20. Pavilion shall bear its own costs associated with such
audits, except that if any such audit establishes underpayment greater than five
percent (5%) of the royalties due, Pegasus shall reimburse Pavilion for the cost
of the audits; provided, however, such reimbursement shall not exceed the amount
of the underpayment; unless, however, the underpayment is subject to a good-
faith dispute between the Parties with respect to royalties. Underpayments and
reimbursement of all of Pavilion's reasonable expenses associated with the
audit, shall be payable within twenty (20) Business Days from the presentation
of the audit results.

payment by Pavilion. Pegasus shall not be entitled to deduct the amount of any

and assignment provisions of Section 19; and (iii) such third party is not a
Pavilion Competitor. With respect to the approval of new third party resellers,
Pavilion will respond within fifteen (15) Business Days of receipt of such third
party reseller's identity, and its failure to respond will be deemed approval.
-17-
5.4 Pavilion Marks.
--------------
5.4.1 Use of Pavilion Marks. Pegasus agrees that it will use the
Pavilion Marks when referring to the Pavilion Software, and that such references
will be in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and will
conform substantially with reasonable guidelines concerning Pavilion's trademark
usage policies as communicated to Pegasus in writing from time to time. Pegasus
shall not use the Pavilion Marks to refer any product other than the Pavilion
Software. Pegasus will supply Pavilion, for Pavilion's prior written approval
(which shall not unreasonably be withheld), representative specimens of
marketing materials, advertisements, and other promotional materials bearing a
Pavilion ▇▇▇▇ at least ten (10) Business Days prior to use of such materials.
Pavilion will respond within five (5) Business Days of receipt of such material,
and its failure to respond will be deemed approval. Pegasus will cooperate
fully with Pavilion to facilitate periodic review of Pegasus' use of the
Pavilion Marks and of Pegasus' compliance with this Section 5.4.
5.4.2 Attribution. Pegasus will use the Pavilion Marks with a "TM"
(or in the event that Pavilion obtains registration and so notifies Pegasus of
the registration, with a "(R)") as specified in the Schedule 1.32. On each
marketing material, advertisement, or other promotional material bearing or
using a Pavilion ▇▇▇▇, Pegasus will include the following legend appearing on
the document or item: "[Pavilion ▇▇▇▇] is a trademark of Pavilion Technologies,
Inc."; or if the ▇▇▇▇ is registered: "[Pavilion ▇▇▇▇] is a registered trademark
of Pavilion Technologies, Inc.".
5.4.3 Cooperation. Except as expressly set forth in Subsection 5.1.6
and subject to this Section 5.4, no right, title or interest in or to the
Pavilion Marks or any other Pavilion trademarks, trade names, slogans, labels,
and designs, nor the goodwill connected thereto, is conveyed to Pegasus by this
Agreement. All past, present, and future use by Pegasus of the Pavilion Marks
shall inure solely to the benefit of Pavilion. Pegasus acknowledges the
goodwill associated with the Pavilion Marks and the value of that goodwill to
the relevant consumers and the consuming public. Pegasus agrees that it is
critical that such goodwill be protected and enhanced and, toward this end,
Pegasus shall not during the Patent License Term, or thereafter: (i) represent
that Pegasus has ownership in any Pavilion ▇▇▇▇ or registration thereof; (ii)
attack the title or any rights of Pavilion in or to any Pavilion ▇▇▇▇; (iii)
apply to register or maintain any application or registration of any Pavilion
▇▇▇▇, or any other ▇▇▇▇ confusingly similar thereto (except at the request of
Pavilion), in any jurisdiction, domestic or foreign; (iv) use any variant form
of the Pavilion Marks, not specifically approved by Pavilion; or (v) take action
that would tend to materially destroy or diminish the goodwill in the Pavilion
Marks. Pavilion may take whatever action it deems appropriate with respect to
registration of the Pavilion Marks, and Pegasus will cooperate with any
reasonable request of Pavilion to execute any documents related to registration
by Pavilion of the Pavilion Marks, and registered user applications or documents
relating to recordation of this Agreement where required by local law or
practice.
5.5 License Restrictions.
--------------------
Except as provided in the escrow provisions of Section 8.3, Pegasus shall
not derive or attempt to derive the source code or structure of all or any
portion of the Pavilion Software by
18
reverse engineering, disassembly, decompilation or any other means, and shall
not knowingly permit others to do so and shall undertake its best efforts to
ensure compliance by Pegasus and all its employees, officers, directors,
Affiliates, Third Party Resellers, agents and end users with this Section 5.5.
Except as specifically authorized in the escrow provisions of Section 8.3,
Pegasus shall not modify, translate, patch, alter or otherwise change the object
or source code of the Pavilion Software or any part thereof or create any
Derivative Work (defined below) of the Pavilion Software or any part thereof,
and shall not permit others to do so. Except as specifically authorized in
Sections 5.1 and 5.3 above, or as may be consented to in writing by Pavilion
(which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld), Pegasus shall not
sublicense, give, sell, rent, lease, pledge, encumber, hypothecate, publish or
assign any portion of the Pavilion Software or other rights to any third party,
including but not limited to Pegasus' subsidiaries and Affiliates. Pegasus shall
not use, copy, distribute, or allow any third party to use, copy, or distribute
the Pavilion Software (electronically or otherwise), or any copy, adaptation,
transcription, or merged portion thereof, except as permitted under Sections 5.1
and 5.3 or with the express written authorization of Pavilion. Except for those
rights and licenses set forth in Section 5, no other rights or licenses to
Pavilion intellectual property or technology, whether implied, by estoppel or
otherwise, are granted, intended or conveyed herein. Pavilion reserves all
rights not expressly granted in Section 5. In the event that Pegasus desires to
sublicense the Pavilion Software to End Users via an Application Service
Provider (ASP) arrangement, the Parties shall meet to discuss the situation and
any security requirements and other issues relating to the Pavilion Software
that are applicable to such offering.
5.6 Unlicensed Program Code.
-----------------------
For Pavilion's administrative convenience, the materials on which Pavilion
provides the Pavilion Software to Pegasus may include additional program code
that is not Pavilion Software. Except to the extent portions of such program
code must be called on or operated solely for the Pavilion Software to operate
within the licensed scope within the Field of Use, Pegasus does not receive any
licenses hereunder with respect to such additional program code, and shall not
use such additional program code in any manner and will not knowingly permit
others to do so and will utilize commercially reasonable efforts (which shall be
no less restrictive than the confidentiality obligations contained in Section 19
of this Agreement) to restrict such use by others.

law to do so, and then with thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice to
Pegasus) the existing agreements with the Representatives, disclosed in Schedule
5.7, to the extent such agreements permit the Representative to market,

provide Maintenance Services or Consulting Services in connection with the

way competes with Pegasus therein, or has the effect which is deemed to be
competitive with Pegasus therein.
5.7.3 Transition. With respect to agreements between Pavilion and a
Representative as set forth in Schedule 1.41, Pavilion shall use commercially
reasonable efforts to assign or cause to be assigned to Pegasus, as soon as
reasonably possible, those portions of such agreements related to the Pavilion
Software within the Field of Use. If Pavilion cannot immediately assign any or
all of such portions to Pegasus, until such time as it can, or, if by the terms
of those agreements they are not assignable, Pavilion shall: (i) assign to
Pegasus, the portion of the revenues related to the Pavilion Software within the
Field of Use accruing after the Closing Date and received by Pavilion related to
the liabilities and duties assumed by Pegasus hereunder; (ii) delegate its
duties under such portions to Pegasus, to the extent allowable, with a
concurrent assumption of related liabilities by Pegasus; and (iii) to the extent
it will not cause Pavilion to breach the terms of any such agreement, covenant
not to take any action with respect to its duties or rights arising under those
portions without the prior approval of Pegasus. For each Pavilion customer
receiving Maintenance Services and Consulting Services within the Field of Use
under an agreement with Pavilion as of the Closing Date as set forth in Schedule
1.31, Pavilion will cooperate with Pegasus in contacting such customer and
Pavilion will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such customer's
consent to allow Pegasus to provide such Maintenance Services and Consulting
Services within the Field of Use following the expiration of such customer's
existing services agreement with Pavilion. The Parties acknowledge and agree
that Pavilion's agreements with ▇. ▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ de Nemours and Company are not
assignable and will not be transitioned under this Agreement.
20
5.7.4 Limitation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
Pavilion and its Affiliates retain the right for themselves, their successors
and assigns, to develop, market, promote, distribute, license, enforce, and
otherwise exploit the Pavilion Marks, Pavilion Software and Pavilion Patents
outside the Field of Use in any manner whatsoever, and to provide Maintenance
Services and Consulting Services in connection with the Pavilion Software to any
entity outside the Field of Use or which may operate outside the Field of Use.
During the term of the Royalty Period, Pavilion covenants not to take actions
which would have the effect of materially diminishing the goodwill associated
with the Pavilion Marks, Pavilion Software and Pavilion Patents.
5.8 Office Space During Transition.
------------------------------
Pavilion shall, upon Pegasus' reasonable written request, provide to
Pegasus at no additional charge for up to one (1) year after the Closing Date,
for the initial Segment Employees that accept employment with Pegasus, office
space at Pavilion's headquarters in Austin, Texas (but not related equipment
after the initial period of sixty (60) days) as designated by Pavilion and
reasonably necessary for the initial Segment Employees who accept employment
with Pegasus to perform under this Agreement. In no event shall the Segment
Employees have access to Pavilion's computer network or other secure areas of
Pavilion's facilities. The Pavilion space provided to Pegasus (i) shall be
subject to standard Pavilion facilities management policies; and (ii) shall be
consistent with the space occupied by the Segment Employees on the Closing Date.
If Pegasus requires additional space at a Pavilion site, Pavilion and Pegasus
shall meet to discuss the needs of Pegasus and the terms and conditions related
thereto. While at Pavilion's site, Pegasus's personnel, agents, and
subcontractors shall comply with reasonable requests, standard rules, and
regulations of Pavilion regarding personal and professional conduct generally
applicable to the Pavilion site, and shall otherwise conduct themselves in a
businesslike manner. Pegasus or its personnel, agents or subcontractors shall
not commit or permit waste or damage to the Pavilion site (normal wear and tear
excluded), nor use such facilities for any unlawful purpose or act. Without
Pavilion's prior written approval, Pegasus shall not make any structural,
mechanical, or electrical alterations to the space provided that cannot be
removed without permanently damaging the condition of such site. When any
Pavilion facilities are no longer required by Pegasus, Pegasus will return such
to Pavilion in like condition as accepted, normal wear and tear excepted.
SECTION 6. MAINTENANCE; ABATEMENT OF INFRINGEMENT.
6.1 Prosecution and Maintenance.
---------------------------
Pavilion shall have the right, but not the obligation, at Pavilion's
expense, to file, prosecute, and maintain the Pavilion Patents during the term
of the Pavilion Patents, and to file, prosecute, and maintain any and all
copyright and trademark registrations for the Pavilion Software. In the event
that Pavilion elects to finally abandon an issued Pavilion Patent, copyright or
Pavilion ▇▇▇▇ that is related to the Segment, Pavilion shall provide Pegasus
with thirty (30) calendar days prior written notice thereof and Pegasus shall
have the opportunity to take an assignment and pay all of the maintenance and
associated fees to effect such assignment and to keep such assigned Pavilion
Patent, copyright or Pavilion ▇▇▇▇ in force. Effective as of
-21-
any such assignment, Pegasus shall grant to Pavilion and its Affiliates and
their respective customers a non-exclusive, perpetual, transferable,
irrevocable, royalty-free, worldwide license under any such Pavilion Patent(s)
Pavilion Marks, and copyrights that may be so assigned to make, use, sell, offer
for sale, import or otherwise transfer any product and/or services. The
provisions of this Section shall survive any expiration or termination of this
Agreement.
6.2 Abatement of Infringement.
-------------------------
6.2.1 Suit by Pavilion. Each Party shall inform the other promptly
in writing of any infringement (the "Infringement Notice") of Pavilion
intellectual property rights by a third party within the Field of Use of which a
Party is aware and of any available evidence thereof. During the term of the
Pavilion Patents licensed under this Agreement, Pavilion shall have the
exclusive right (subject to the provisions of Section 6.2.2 hereof), but not the
obligation, to prosecute all infringements of Pavilion intellectual property
rights relating to the Pavilion Patents. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pavilion
may not license the Pavilion Patents or the Pavilion Software in the Field of
Use in resolution of such infringement without the prior written consent of
Pegasus and Pavilion may not enter into any settlement or otherwise make any
statement that admits that any of the Pavilion Patents are invalid or
unenforceable. In furtherance of such right, Pegasus hereby agrees that Pavilion
may include Pegasus as a party plaintiff in any such suit, without expense to
Pegasus; provided, however, Pegasus shall not be included as a party plaintiff
or be required to assist in any infringement suit against Computer Associates
International, Inc., or AIWare, Inc. without Pegasus' prior written consent.
Pavilion shall notify Pegasus in writing at least ten (10) Business Days prior
to bringing any suit for infringement. In any infringement suit which Pavilion
may institute to enforce its intellectual property rights, Pegasus shall, at the
request and expense of Pavilion, cooperate in all respects and to the extent
possible have its employees testify when requested and make available relevant
records, papers, information, samples, specimen, and the like. The total cost of
any such infringement action commenced solely by Pavilion shall be borne by
Pavilion and Pavilion shall keep any recovery or damages for past infringement
derived therefrom. Except for Pavilion's obligations under Section 17, nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed as imposing on Pavilion any
obligation to defend any suit or action brought by a third party which
challenges or concerns the validity of any of its intellectual property rights
licensed under this Agreement.
6.2.2 Suit by Pegasus. In the event of infringement of a Pavilion
Patent within the Field of Use during the term of Pegasus' exclusive license
with respect to that Pavilion Patent, or a Pavilion Software during the term of
the Royalty Period, and Pavilion fails to exercise its rights under Section
6.2.1 to prosecute such infringement within six (6) months of the Infringement
Notice, Pegasus shall have the right, but not the obligation, to prosecute such
infringement at its own expense, using counsel of its choice; provided however,
-------- -------
that Pegasus may not license the Pavilion Patents or the Pavilion Software in
the Field of Use in resolution of such infringement without the prior written
consent of Pavilion, and Pegasus may not enter into any settlement or otherwise
make any statement that admits that any of the Pavilion Patents are invalid or
unenforceable. In furtherance of such right, Pavilion hereby agrees that Pegasus
may
22
include Pavilion as a party plaintiff in such suit if so required by the law of
the forum, without expense to Pavilion. Pegasus shall notify Pavilion in writing
at least ten (10) Business Days prior to bringing any suit for infringement as
above provided. In any such infringement suit brought by Pegasus, Pavilion
shall, at the request and expense of Pegasus, cooperate in all respects and to
the extent possible have its employees testify when requested and make available
relevant records, papers, information, samples, specimen, and the like. Pavilion
has the right to be represented in any such suit brought by Pegasus under this
Section 6.2.2 by counsel of Pavilion's own selection, at Pavilion's expense.
Other than the costs for Pavilion's own counsel as provided in the previous
sentence, the total cost of any such infringement action brought by Pegasus
shall be borne by Pegasus. Pegasus shall keep any recovery or damages for past
infringement derived therefrom, provided that Pavilion is reimbursed for its
--------
reasonable costs and expenses associated with such action (including without
limitation, attorney and expert fees).

require a unique authorization code ("Authorization Code") to enable it for use
once installed. In such case, Pavilion will provide the Authorization Code to
the End User along with shipment of each copy of the Pavilion Software. Pegasus
shall promptly in all cases provide Pavilion with copies of all End User
Evaluation License Agreements and End User License Agreements with End Users of

in using the Pavilion Software that cannot be resolved through Level 1
Maintenance Services or that requires the distribution of Pavilion Software or
any portion thereof, then Pegasus shall immediately report such problem to
Pavilion in as much detail as is reasonably possible to allow Pavilion to
reproduce the problem. Pavilion shall use reasonable efforts to provide a fix or
otherwise resolve the problem for the End User by providing Level 2 Maintenance
Services. For the avoidance of doubt, Level 1 Maintenance Services do not
include the distribution of Pavilion Software or any portion thereof.

notify Pavilion of such opportunity in writing and representatives of Pegasus
and Pavilion shall promptly discuss terms and conditions related to such

11.8 As Documented Warranty.
-----------------------
11.8.1 Subject to the remedy limitations in Section 11.8.2 below,
Pavilion warrants, for the benefit of each of Pegasus' End Users, that for a
period of three (3) months from the effective date of the End User License
Agreement between Pegasus and each End User (the "As-Documented Warranty
Period") the Pavilion Software will substantially perform the material functions
specified in the applicable Documentation delivered by Pavilion (the "As-
Documented Warranty"). With respect to third party software that is provided by
Pavilion under a reseller agreement, Pavilion shall pass through any warranties
and indemnities from the third party vendor that Pavilion is permitted to
provide under its agreement with such third party vendor. The As-Documented
Warranty does not apply to: (a) the extent the breach is caused by the use of
the Pavilion Software as modified by any person other than Pavilion if there
would not have been a breach by the use of the unmodified Pavilion Software; (b)
use of the Pavilion Software other than in accordance with the applicable
Documentation; (c) errors or bugs caused by defects, problems or failures of
hardware or software not provided by Pavilion; and (d) errors or bugs caused by
the action or inaction of any person other than Pavilion. No instance of
noncompliance with the As-Documented Warranty will be deemed a breach of such
warranty unless reported in writing as described in Section 11.8.2 below.
Pavilion does not warrant that the Pavilion Software will work with the Pegasus
Software or any End User's hardware, systems, and other software. This warranty
does not apply to any third party software provided by Pavilion or Pegasus for
use with the Pavilion Software, except for third party software that is provided
by Pavilion with pass through warranties.
11.8.2 Pegasus shall promptly notify Pavilion prior to the end of
the As-Documented Warranty Period for any particular End User if the Pavilion
Software substantially fails to perform the material functions during the As-
Documented Warranty Period and provide such assistance as reasonably required by
Pavilion to enable Pavilion to diagnose and replicate the nonconformity. Such
notice shall provide Pavilion with a reasonable description of the alleged
noncompliance. If Pavilion is able to verify that such failure is caused by
errors in the Pavilion Software as provided by Pavilion, Pavilion will use
commercially reasonable efforts to correct the nonconformity within a reasonable
period of time following such verification. If Pavilion is unable to correct the
nonconformity within such time period, Pavilion may, in its sole discretion
either: (a) replace or modify the Pavilion Software; or (b) refund to Pegasus a
pro-rata portion (computed over a 60 month period from the effective date of the
End User License Agreement) of the royalties paid by Pegasus to Pavilion for
such Pavilion Software. This shall be Pegasus' sole remedy for any breach of the
As-Documented Warranty, TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER REMEDIES.

15.3 Termination For Cause.
----------------------
Either Pegasus or Pavilion will have the right to terminate this Agreement
at any time if:
15.3.1 The other Party is in material breach of any warranty,
material term, condition or covenant of this Agreement and fails to cure that
breach within forty-five (45) days from receipt of written notice specifying the
nature of such breach if the breach is capable of being cured or, so long as the
breaching Party is diligently using its best commercial efforts to cure such
breach (or in the case of a breach involving nonpayment of royalties pursuant to
Schedule 3.5 by Pegasus, thirty (30) days and for all other nonpayments by
Pegasus hereunder, seven (7) days; provided that interest shall accrue pursuant
to Section 19.17 from the payment due date for any such nonpayment obligation)
after receiving written notice from the non-breaching Party of that breach and
its intention to terminate (the "Cure Period"). For avoidance of doubt, the
following shall be considered a material breach of this Agreement, Pegasus'
failure to: (i) maintain records which substantially meet the requirements in

with Section 3.9 (Audit), (iii) breach of

(Promotion Outside the Field of Use); (b) Section 19 (Proprietary Rights and

debts or perform its obligations in the ordinary course of business as they
mature; (iii) admits in writing its insolvency or inability to pay its debts or
perform its obligations as they mature; or (iv) becomes the subject of any
voluntary or involuntary proceeding in bankruptcy, liquidation, dissolution,
receivership, attachment or composition or general assignment for the benefit of
creditors; provided that if such condition is assumed involuntarily it has not
been dismissed with prejudice within forty-five (45) days after it begins. Any
other term of this Agreement notwithstanding, Pavilion will have the right to
terminate this Agreement anytime in the event of any activity or assistance by
any of the KFx Parties or their respective Affiliates of challenging the
validity of any Pavilion Patents or restricting the scope thereof.
15.4 Effective Date of Termination For Cause.
----------------------------------------
Termination will become effective under Section 15.3.1 immediately upon
receiving notice of termination at any time after expiration of the Cure Period
in the absence of a cure, and under Section 15.3.2 immediately upon receipt of a

Agreement to the contrary, Pavilion shall have the option to immediately
terminate this Agreement if Pegasus or any of its Affiliates undergoes a Change
of Control with a Pavilion Competitor or is in combination, cooperation,
affiliation, partnership, or joint venture with an entity that is a Pavilion
Competitor. For purposes of this Section 15.5, a "Change of Control" of a
corporation means:
(a) A consolidation or merger with any other entity, in which all
voting securities of such corporation outstanding immediately prior thereto
represent (either by remaining outstanding or being converted into voting
securities of the surviving corporation) less than eighty percent (80%) of the
voting power of such corporation or the surviving entity outstanding immediately
thereafter;
(b) The sale or disposition by such corporation (in one transaction
or a series of transactions) of all or substantially all of its assets;
40
(c) The acquisition, directly or indirectly, by any entity of voting
securities of such corporation representing more than twenty percent (20%) of
the voting power of such corporation; or
(d) Any share exchange, extraordinary dividend, acquisition,
disposition or recapitalization (or series of related transactions of such
nature, other than a merger or consolidation) in which the holders of voting
securities of such corporation immediately before such event own less than
eighty percent (80%) of the voting power of such corporation or any successor
entity immediately thereafter.
15.6 Other Remedies.
---------------
In addition to the termination rights set forth in this Section 15, the
Pavilion and Pegasus shall have legal and equitable remedies that are consistent
with Sections 17, 18 and 19 hereof.

be deemed terminated with respect to all Parties, and all rights and licenses

therein) and, at Pavilion's sole election, agreements with Representatives
assigned by Pavilion to Pegasus pursuant to this Agreement shall be reassigned
to Pavilion;
(b) Pegasus shall immediately pay to Pavilion the unpaid balance of
the Base Price, all fees, royalties and other amounts that are then outstanding
and all remaining fees and other amounts scheduled to be due under this
Agreement after the termination date and the difference between Five Million
Five Hundred Thousand Dollars ($5,500,000 USD) and the royalties actually paid
to and received by Pavilion from Pegasus hereunder to the date of the
termination;
(c) Pegasus shall have the limited right to continue to provide
Consulting Services and Maintenance Services to then-existing End Users of
Pavilion Software for the remainder of each such End User's current term of
Maintenance Services and then-existing Consulting Services work assignment(s),
but not for any extensions, reinstatements, or renewals thereof;
(d) Except for copies necessary for providing Consulting Services and
Maintenance Services to then-existing End Users as described above, Pegasus will
cease using and return to Pavilion all Pavilion Software, code, Documentation,
marketing materials, and materials containing the Pavilion Confidential
Information (and any copies thereof) in Pegasus' possession or control, or
delete any copies of same from Pegasus' computers and data storage
-41-
devices. Upon the expiration of such agreements for Consulting Services and
Maintenance Services, Pegasus will promptly return all of the foregoing items to
Pavilion, and Pegasus further covenants not to make any use of such items
thereafter;
(e) Pegasus shall cease issuing any End User agreements of any type
related to the Pavilion Software, Maintenance Services or Consulting Services,
and no longer identify or hold itself out as a distributor of the Pavilion
Software; and

files containing Pegasus Confidential Information to Pegasus, and Pegasus will
immediately discontinue and permanently refrain from all use of the Pavilion
Marks.
Within ninety (90) days from the effective date of the termination, Pegasus
shall cooperate with Pavilion in good faith to create a detailed transition plan
to facilitate an orderly and effective transition of such End Users back to
Pavilion thereafter and shall cooperate in effecting a smooth and orderly
transition upon the occurrence of such event.

In the event Pavilion shall materially breach the covenants or conditions
of Section 5.7.2, and fails to cure that breach within forty-five (45) days from
of written notice specifying the nature of such breach if the breach is capable
of being cured, or so long as the Pavilion is diligently using its best
commercial efforts to cure such breach, Pegasus shall be entitled to terminate
the payment of all royalties, and it obligations for such royalty payments shall
be cancelled under Section 3.5 (Royalty) from the date of the uncured breach
forward; provided that if the Base Price shall have been irrevocably paid to
Pavilion by Pegasus at the time of such uncured breach, the Software and
Technology License shall be deemed fully paid up in accordance with Section
5.1.7 of this Agreement.

responsibilities or obligations that should have been performed prior to such
termination.
42
SECTION 16. INDEMNITIES
16.1 Intellectual Property Indemnity by Pavilion.
--------------------------------------------
Pavilion, at its own expense and subject to the terms and conditions of
this Section 16.1, will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless KFx, Pegasus, its
and their Affiliates (provided it is not a Pavilion Competitor), directors,
officers, employees, agents, successors and assigns of any of such persons,
entities or any End User (provided it is not a Pavilion Competitor)
(collectively, the "Pegasus Indemnified Persons") for, and will pay to the
Pegasus Indemnified Persons the amount of any loss, liability, claim, damage
(excluding incidental and consequential damages), expense (including reasonable
costs of investigation and defense and reasonable attorneys' fees), whether or
not involving a third party claim (collectively, "Damages") arising from or in
connection with: (i) any action brought against KFx, Pegasus or any End User
(excluding claims brought by a Pegasus Indemnified Person) to the extent that
such action is based upon a claim that a currently supported version of the
Pavilion Software, when properly used within the scope of the End User License
Agreement and Pavilion's specifications and Documentation, infringes a United
States patent or copyright or misappropriates any third party trade secret or
other proprietary right ("Infringement"). Subject to the foregoing, Pavilion
shall pay all Damages finally awarded against the Pegasus Indemnified Persons
which are attributable to such claim or all settlement amounts agreed to by
Pavilion and claimant; provided however, that the Pegasus Indemnified Persons
must give Pavilion prompt written notice of such claim and relevant information,
assistance, and sole authority to defend or settle the claim.
If any Pavilion Software becomes, or in Pavilion's opinion is likely to
become, the subject of a claim of Infringement, Pavilion may, at its option: (i)
procure for Pegasus and the End User the right to continue using the affected
Pavilion Software; (ii) replace or modify the affected Pavilion Software
(without a material adverse effect on functionality) to make it non-infringing;
or (iii) terminate the license for the affected Pavilion Software. In the event
that Pavilion exercises options (ii) or (iii) above, Pegasus shall cause its End
Users to immediately cease using the affected Pavilion Software or portion
thereof. In the event Pavilion exercises option (iii) above, the Parties agree
to use the dispute resolution procedures in Section 17 to determine the
potential future reduction in the fees and charges or refund of historic
payments under this Agreement necessary to reflect the loss of functionality
while taking into account the use Pegasus and the End Users have enjoyed until
the date the use was terminated. The terms of this Section 16.1 are the sole and
exclusive remedy of the Pegasus Indemnified Persons in the event Pavilion must
direct Pegasus or End Users to cease use of all of or those portions of the
Pavilion Software that have been (or, in Pavilion's opinion, are likely to
become) enjoined. THE TERMS OF THIS SECTION 16.1 STATE PAVILION'S SOLE LIABILITY
WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM REGARDING THE INFRINGEMENT OF ANY INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHT BY PAVILION SOFTWARE OR ANY PART THEREOF.
16.2 Exceptions.
-----------
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Pavilion shall have no liability for any
claim of Infringement based on: (i) use of other than a current, unaltered
release of Pavilion Software
-43-
available from Pavilion (and delivered to Pegasus) if such Infringement would
have been avoided by use of a current, unaltered version of the Pavilion
Software; (ii) use or combination of the Pavilion Software with programs, data,
equipment, or devices not provided by Pavilion including but not limited to the
Pegasus Software if such Infringement would have been avoided by the use or
combination of the Pavilion Software with other programs, data, equipment or
devices; or (iii) use of the Pavilion Software in a manner for which it was not
intended or licensed under this Agreement and the End User License Agreement.
16.3 General Indemnification by Pavilion.

Pavilion will indemnify, defend and hold harmless the Pegasus Indemnified
Persons for, and will pay to the Pegasus Indemnified Persons the Damages arising

covenant, agreement or obligation of Pavilion contained in this Agreement; (iii)
any claim with respect to, or any event or circumstance related to, the
ownership or operation of the Assets or the conduct of the Segment, including,
but not limited to claims for commissions or similar payments based upon

asserted in connection with any act, omission, event, or circumstance which
occurred or existed prior to or at the Closing Date, without regard to whether a
claim with respect to such matter is asserted before or after the Closing Date;
(iv) any claim by any person, entity or governmental agency or department in
respect to the Excluded Liabilities as set forth in Section 4.2; or (v) any

assessments, fines, interest, penalties, costs and expenses (including without
limitation, settlement costs and reasonable legal, accounting, experts' and

the foregoing.
16.4 Indemnification by Pegasus.
---------------------------
Pegasus will indemnify, defend and hold harmless Pavilion and Pavilion's
Affiliates (provided it is not a Pegasus Competitor), directors, officers,
employees, agents, successors and assigns of any of such persons, entities or
any End User (provided it is not a Pegasus Competitor) (collectively, the
"Pavilion Indemnified Persons") for, and will pay to the Pavilion Indemnified
Persons the amount of any Damages arising from or in connection with:
(a) Damages for (i) any breach of any representation or warranty made
by Pegasus in this Agreement; (ii) any breach of any covenant, agreement or
obligation of Pegasus
44
contained in this Agreement; (iii) the failure by Pegasus to perform any of its

to, or any event or circumstance related to, the ownership or operation of the
Assets or the exercise of the Software and Technology Licensed Rights,
including, but not limited to claims for commissions or similar payments based
upon arrangements and understandings with Pegasus, if such claim arises from or
is asserted in connection with any act, omission, event, or circumstance which
occurs or exists after the Closing Date; or (v) any claim with respect to
Pegasus' failure to comply with the laws and administrative regulations of the

the Closing Date; and
(b) all claims, actions, suits, proceedings, demands, judgments,
assessments, fines, interest, penalties, costs and expenses (including, without
limitation, settlement costs and reasonable legal, accounting, experts' and
other fees, costs and expenses) incident or relating to or resulting from any of
the foregoing.
16.5 Procedure for Indemnification.
------------------------------
Promptly after a Party indemnified pursuant to this Section (the
"Indemnitee") has received notice of or has knowledge of any claim by a person
not a party to this Indemnity Agreement (for the purposes of this Section 16, a
"third party") or the commencement of any action or proceeding by a third party,
the Indemnitee shall promptly, and in any event within sixty (60) days of the
Indemnitee's receipt of notice of the assertion of any claim or the discovery of
any fact upon which the Indemnitee intends to base a claim for indemnification
under this Section 16 (an "Indemnitee Claim"), as a condition precedent to the
Indemnitee Claim, give written notice to the party or parties from whom
indemnification is sought (the "Indemnitor") of such claim; provided, however,
that any delay or failure to notify any Indemnitor of any claim shall not
relieve it from any liability except to the extent that the Indemnitor
demonstrates that the defense of such action has been materially prejudiced by
such delay or failure to notify. Such notice shall state the nature and basis of
such claim. In the event that any Party shall incur any damages in respect of
which indemnity may be sought by such Party pursuant to this Section 16 or any
other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnitee shall notify the Indemnitor
promptly in writing. In the case of third party claims, the Indemnitor shall,
within 10 days of receipt of notice of such claim, notify the Indemnitee of its
intention to assume the defense of such claim if the Indemnitor concurrently
assumes the obligation to indemnify the Indemnitee. If the Indemnitor assumes
the defense of the claim, the Indemnitor shall have the right and obligation:
(a) to conduct any proceedings or negotiations in connection therewith and
necessary or appropriate to defend the Indemnitee; (b) to take all other
required steps or proceedings to settle or defend any such claims; and (c) to
employ counsel to contest any such claim or liability in the name of the
Indemnitee or otherwise. If the Indemnitor shall not assume the defense of any
such claim or litigation resulting therefrom, the Indemnitee may defend against
any such claim or litigation in such manner as it may deem appropriate and the
Indemnitee may settle such claim or litigation on such terms as it may deem
appropriate, and assert against the Indemnitor any rights or claims to which the
Indemnitee is entitled. Payment of Pavilion or Pegasus damages, as the case may
be, shall be made within 10 days of a final determination of a claim. A final
determination of a disputed claim shall be: (v) a judgment of any court
determining the validity of the disputed claim, if no appeal is pending from
such
-45-
judgment or if the time to appeal therefrom has elapsed; (w) an award of any
arbitration determining the validity of such disputed claim, if there is not
pending any motion to set aside such award or if the time limit to move to set
such award aside has not elapsed; (x) a written termination of the dispute with
respect to such claim signed by all of the parties thereto or their attorneys;
(y) a written acknowledgment of the Indemnitor that it no longer disputes the
validity of such claim; or (z) such other evidence of final determination of a
disputed claim as shall be acceptable to the parties.
SECTION 17. DISPUTE RESOLUTION; ARBITRATION.
17.1 Dispute Resolution.
-------------------
It is the intent of the Parties that disputes arising under this Agreement
be resolved expeditiously, amicably, and at the level within each Party's
organization that is most knowledgeable about the disputed issue. The Parties
understand and agree that the procedures outlined in this Section 17.1 are not
intended to supplant the routine handling of inquiries and complaints through
informal contact with customer service representatives or other designated
personnel of the Parties. Accordingly for purposes of the procedures, a
"dispute" is a disagreement that the Parties have been unable to resolve by the
normal and routine channels ordinarily used for such matters. Before any
dispute arising under this Agreement, except as provided below, may be submitted
to litigation, the Parties shall first follow the informal and escalating
procedures set forth below. The foregoing notwithstanding, any of Pavilion or
Pegasus may in good faith commence litigation at any time to (i) preserve a
superior position with respect to creditors, (ii) to prevent the expiration of a
relevant statute of limitations or similar bar, or (iii) to preserve its
intellectual property, provided it is not inconsistent with the provisions of
the release and covenant not to ▇▇▇ attached hereto as Exhibit 14.2.10.
The procedure for resolving disputes between the Parties shall be as follows:
(a) The complaining Party will notify the other Party in writing of
the dispute, and Pavilion and Pegasus shall exercise good faith efforts to
resolve the disputed matter as expeditiously as possible.
(b) If such matter remains unresolved seven Business Days after
delivery of the complaining Party's written notice to the other Party, a senior
representative of each Party shall meet or participate in a telephone conference
call within seven (7) Business Days of a request for such meeting or conference
call by either Party to resolve the matter.
(c) If such matter remains unresolved five (5) Business Days after
such meeting or conference call, a member of each Party's executive management
shall meet or participate in a telephone conference call within seven Business
Days of a request for such meeting or conference call by either Party to resolve
the matter.
46
17.2 Arbitration.
-----------
If the Parties are unable to reach a resolution of the dispute after
following the procedure above, or if either Party fails to participate when
requested, each of Pavilion and Pegasus may pursue any other remedies they may
have under this Agreement or may commence arbitration. Any action against any
Party under this Agreement must be commenced within two (2) years after such
cause of action accrues. If the Parties cannot informally resolve the dispute
per Section 17.1 above, the Parties desire to avoid all forms of traditional
litigation and, therefore, agree that any dispute, including controversy or
claim arising out of or relating to this Agreement or the relationship between
the Parties created by the Agreement, including the breach, termination or
invalidity thereof, and including the determination of the interpretation or
scope of this Agreement to arbitrate shall be finally resolved using the
following procedures: (i) the dispute shall be submitted promptly to, and
settled by, final and binding arbitration which shall be conducted expeditiously
and completed within one hundred twenty (120) days of the conclusion of the
procedures set forth hereinabove, unless the arbitrator directs otherwise. Such
arbitration shall be conducted under the then-current rules of the American
Arbitration Association by a sole arbitrator or, if the Parties cannot agree
thereon, by three independent and impartial arbitrators, of whom each of Pegasus
and Pavilion shall appoint one, with the third chosen by the two arbitrators so
selected. The place of arbitration shall be Chicago, Illinois. The language to
be used in the arbitration shall be English. Any arbitral award shall be in
writing, signed by the arbitrator(s), and shall include, in addition to date,
the place where the award is rendered and the names and addresses of the
arbitrators and Parties, and the reasons for the decision; (ii) both Pavilion
and Pegasus hereby undertake to carry out without delay the provisions of any
agreement pursuant to the dispute resolution procedures of Section 17 or of any
arbitral award resulting therefrom. The Parties agree that any arbitral award
shall be final and binding and judgment on it may be entered by any court of
competent jurisdiction; (iii) the arbitration proceedings contemplated by this
Section 17.2 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 Section 17, 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; and (iv) each Party is required to continue to
perform obligations under this Agreement pending final resolution of any
Dispute. The foregoing notwithstanding, either Pegasus or Pavilion may enforce
the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement by litigation rather than by
arbitration.
SECTION 18. DAMAGES.
18.1 Exclusions of Liability.
-----------------------
Under no circumstances will either Pegasus or Pavilion be liable for:
(a) third-party claims against any other Party for loss or damages,
except as provided in Section 16 hereof;
-47-
(b) loss or damage to any other Party's records or data;
(c) consequential damages (including lost opportunity, profits, use,
or savings) or incidental damages, even when advised of their possibility, or
punitive damages; or
(d) breaches of this Agreement that are capable of correction, so long
as the breaching Party has corrected within a reasonable period of time as
evidenced by the Cure Period.
18.2 Limitation of Liability.
-----------------------
IN THE CASE OF ANY CLAIM BY PEGASUS OR KFX AGAINST PAVILION RELATED TO THIS
AGREEMENT OR ANY TRANSACTION UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS OF
THE CLAIM, PAVILION'S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE ACTUAL LOSS OR DAMAGE OF
PEGASUS UP TO THE AGGREGATE OF THE BASE PRICE AND ROYALTY FEE AMOUNTS ACTUALLY
PAID BY PEGASUS TO PAVILION DURING THE PREVIOUS TWELVE (12) MONTH PERIOD PRIOR
TO THE CLAIM. KFX, PEGASUS AND PAVILION AGREE THAT THIS LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IS A NEGOTIATED ALLOCATION OF RISK BETWEEN THEM AND REFLECTS THE RESPECTIVE
REMUNERATION AND POTENTIAL LIABILITIES KFX, PEGASUS AND PAVILION REASONABLY
EXPECT TO RECEIVE AND/OR INCUR. FURTHER, IN THE CASE OF ANY CLAIM BY PEGASUS OR
KFX AGAINST PAVILION ARISING OUT OF ANY PAVILION CONTRACT ASSIGNED TO PEGASUS
HEREUNDER, PAVILION'S LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE ACTUAL LOSS OR DAMAGE OF
PEGASUS UP TO THE AGGREGATE VALUE OF SUCH PAVILION CONTRACT ASSIGNED AS OF THE
CLOSING DATE.
18.3 Exceptions.
----------
The limitations of liability set out in this Section 18 shall not apply to:
(a) damage to real property and tangible personal property (not
including software or data) caused by the negligence, gross negligence, or
willful misconduct of a Party or its employees or contractors; or
(b) breaches of a Party's obligations related to confidentiality,
licensed rights of use, Change of Control, or assignment.
The limitations of liability in this Section 18 will be enforced, even if any
exclusive remedy fails of its essential purpose.
48
SECTION 19. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS; CONFIDENTIALITY.
19.1 Ownership.
---------
KFx and Pegasus acknowledge and agree that, as between the Parties, the
Pavilion Software, Pavilion Technology and all materials supplied to Pegasus
under license hereunder, and all intellectual property rights in any of the
foregoing, including all patents (including, without limitation, title to the
Pavilion Patents), trademarks (including without limitation the Pavilion Marks),
copyrights and trade secrets therein, are owned and retained by Pavilion, its
affiliates and/or its licensors, and that only licenses are granted herein.
Pavilion shall own all intellectual property rights in and to any and all
Derivative Work (as defined below), modifications and enhancements to the
Pavilion Software, Pavilion Technology, and the Pavilion Patents, whether
created by Pavilion, Pegasus or a third party. Pegasus, on behalf of itself and
its Affiliates, hereby assigns to Pavilion all right, title and interest
(including intellectual property rights) in and to all modifications and
enhancements to, and Derivative Work of the Pavilion Software, Pavilion Patents
or Pavilion Technology created by or for Pegasus. Pegasus agrees to perform,
upon the request of Pavilion during or after the term of the licenses granted
hereunder such further acts as may be necessary or desirable to transfer,
perfect and defend Pavilion's ownership of such modifications and Derivative
Work. Pegasus shall include on all copies of the Pavilion Software and Pavilion
Technology properly configured notices of Pavilion's copyrights, patents, trade
secrets and proprietary rights printed on each manual, affixed to each media
container, and embedded in the code, including partial copies or updated
versions thereof. Pegasus shall ▇▇▇▇ all copies of Pegasus Software to the
extent such software reads on the claims of Pavilion Patents, Pavilion Software,
and Pavilion Technology it sells or licenses in the United States with the
numbers of all applicable United States Pavilion Patents, and shall ▇▇▇▇ all
such copies of Pegasus Software and Pavilion Software and Pavilion Technology
shipped to, sold or licensed in other countries with the numbers of all
applicable Pavilion Patents in such a manner to conform with the patent laws and
practices of the country of manufacture, sale, or license. Pegasus shall make no
statement, claim or representation nor take any action inconsistent with
Pavilion or its licensors' ownership of the Pavilion Software, Pavilion
Technology or Pavilion Patents. As used herein, "Derivative Work" means a work
that is based upon the Pavilion Software or Pavilion Technology, such as a
revision, modification, translation, abridgement, condensation, expansion or any
other form in which such a preexisting work may be recast, transformed or
adapted, and that, if prepared or distributed without authorization by the owner
of the preexisting work, would constitute copyright infringement or contains any
code, Confidential Information or trade secrets of the owner thereof.
Pegasus shall be the owner of any Pegasus work product that: (a) relates to
the Pegasus Software or Confidential Information; or (b) is designed and
developed by or for Pegasus and is not a Derivative Work of the Pavilion
Software or Pavilion Technology.
-49-
19.2 Confidentiality Obligations.
---------------------------
19.2.1 Confidential Information. "Confidential Information" as used
herein shall mean information disclosed by Pavilion to Pegasus and information
disclosed by Pegasus to Pavilion, that, in both cases, if communicated in
writing, is clearly designated in such writing as confidential, or, if orally
disclosed, is described by written memorandum that designates such information
as confidential and is delivered within thirty (30) days of the oral disclosure.
Pegasus acknowledges that, in addition to information so designated, Pavilion
Software and Pavilion Technology shall be deemed Pavilion Confidential
Information.
19.2.2 Obligations. Each Party receiving Confidential Information
from the other hereunder ("Receiving Party") shall protect the Confidential
Information of the other Party ("Disclosing Party") by using at least the same
degree of care as the Receiving Party uses to protect its own Confidential
Information of similar importance or sensitivity, but no less than a reasonable
degree of care, to prevent the unauthorized use, dissemination or application of
such Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall not disclose the
Disclosing Party's Confidential Information to any third party except (i)
employees or authorized agents of the Receiving Party who have a need to know
for purposes of this Agreement and who are bound by written nondisclosure
agreements which provide the same or greater protection for the Discloser's
Confidential Information as this Section 19 provides and (ii) in the case of
Pavilion, third parties performing work for and on behalf of Pavilion, at
Pavilion's direction. Pegasus may disclose the Pavilion Software to third
parties only as and to the extent permitted under Section 5.1 and consistent
with the confidentiality provisions in Section 19 of this Agreement.
Without limiting the foregoing, Pegasus shall safeguard any and all copies
of the Pavilion Software and Pavilion Technology by using security measures per
the attached Schedule 19.2.2. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein,
neither Pegasus nor KFx, nor any of their respective affiliates, shall disclose
the Pavilion Confidential Information, Documentation, Modifications, or Pavilion
Software or Pavilion Technology to CA, ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇, or any of their respective
affiliates, or any of their respective outside legal counsel or accountants or
advisors without Pavilion's prior written consent, even if such accountant,
advisor or counsel also represents or advises Pegasus and/or KFx or their
affiliates.
19.2.3 Exceptions. Receiving Party shall have no obligations under
this Section 19 with respect to any information that Receiving Party can
conclusively establish: (a) is or becomes publicly known in the trade or
business in which it is practiced by the Receiving Party other than as a result
of disclosure by Receiving Party in breach of this Agreement; (b) was available
to Receiving Party on a non-confidential basis as shown in written records prior
to its disclosure to Receiving Party; (c) becomes available to Receiving Party
on a non-confidential basis from a source other than the Disclosing Party;
provided that such source is not bound by a confidentiality agreement or is
otherwise prohibited from transferring the information to Receiving Party by a
contractual, legal or fiduciary obligation; or (d) is independently developed by
Receiving Party without reliance in any way on the Confidential Information
provided by the Disclosing Party. The existence of a copyright notice on any
Confidential Information will not cause, or be construed as causing, software to
be a published copyrighted work or to be publicly
50
known or in the public domain. The burden of showing that any of the
Confidential Information is not subject to the obligations of this Agreement
will rest on Receiving Party.
19.2.4 Required Disclosures. Receiving Party may disclose
Confidential Information if and to the extent required by court order, provided
Receiving Party shall give Disclosing Party prompt written notice of such
requirement as soon as possible prior to such disclosure and shall provide
Disclosing Party with assistance in obtaining an order protecting the
information from disclosure. If, in the absence of a protective order, Receiving
Party is compelled as a matter of law to disclose such Confidential Information,
Receiving Party may disclose only that part of the Confidential Information as
is required by law to disclose.
19.3 Notice.
------
The Receiving Party agrees to notify the Disclosing Party in writing
immediately upon the discovery of any unauthorized possession, use, or knowledge
of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. The Receiving Party shall
promptly furnish full details of such unauthorized matter to the Disclosing
Party, will assist in preventing the recurrence of such unauthorized matter, and
will cooperate with the Disclosing Party in any action (including litigation or
criminal complaints) against the Receiving Party's employees, contractors and
agents, and third parties that the Disclosing Party deems advisable to protect
the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information. A Party's compliance with this
Section 19.3 shall not be construed to bar the other Party's right to recover
damages or obtain other relief against the Receiving Party for its breach of any
part of this Agreement. In addition, the Receiving Party shall upon request by
the Disclosing Party take all actions required, including, without limitation,
litigation, to compel the Receiving Party's employees from any unauthorized
possession, use, or knowledge of the Disclosing Party's Confidential
Information.
19.4 Remedies.
--------
Each Party acknowledges that the unauthorized disclosure, dissemination or
use of any of the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information by Receiving Party
could cause irreparable harm and significant injury to the Disclosing Party,
which may be difficult to measure with certainty or to compensate through money
damages. Receiving Party agrees that the Disclosing Party therefore shall be
entitled in such event to obtain a preliminary or temporary injunction against
such breach from any court of competent jurisdiction, pending arbitration of any
dispute between the Disclosing Party and Receiving Party. Disclosing Party's
right to obtain such relief shall not limit its right to obtain other remedies.
-51-
SECTION 20. MISCELLANEOUS
20.1 Assignment.
----------
20.1.1 General. Except as expressly set forth herein, each of
Pegasus and KFx may not transfer, whether by assignment, sublicense, merger,
consolidation, operation of law, or otherwise any rights or obligations or
licenses granted under this Agreement without Pavilion's prior written consent.
The consent to any particular assignment shall not constitute consent to further
assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon the Parties and their
respective successors and permitted assigns. Any transaction in contravention to
this Section 20.1 shall be null and void.
20.1.2 Permissive Assignment. The above notwithstanding, upon written
request Pavilion shall consent to the assignment of this Agreement and the
rights to the Pavilion Software and Pavilion Technology and obligations by
Pegasus indivisibly in connection with a sale or other disposition of
substantially all of the assets of Pegasus to a single acquiring entity or to an
entity that is the survivor of a merger with Pegasus so long as: (i) it is not a
Pavilion Competitor or is in combination, cooperation, affiliation, partnership,
or joint venture with an entity that is a Pavilion Competitor, provided that the
restriction in this subpart (i) shall no longer apply upon: (a) Pegasus'
irrevocable payment to Pavilion of the $9,500,000.00 USD Base Price; and (b)
payment of $5,500,000.00 USD in royalties or the expiration of the Royalty
Period, whichever occurs first; (ii) it would not result in an expansion in
scope of the licenses or other rights granted under this Agreement; (iii)
Pavilion does not reasonably believe the transfer would compromise the
confidentiality or export control laws related to the Pavilion Software,
Pavilion Technology or Confidential Information; (iv) the assignee agrees in
writing to comply with all of Pegasus's obligations under, and to be bound by,
this Agreement; and (v) the assignee is a financially viable entity, capable of
performing the obligations of Pegasus hereunder.
20.1.3 Pavilion Assignment. Pavilion may assign this Agreement, the
Pavilion Software, Pavilion Technology and the Pavilion Patents, in whole or in
part, to any third party without the consent of Pegasus or KFx, but with thirty
(30) calendar days prior written notice, so long as (i) the assignee agrees in
writing to comply with all of Pavilion's obligations under, and to be bound by,
this Agreement; and (ii) licenses granted herein and Maintenance Services remain
in force; and (iii) the assignee is not a Pegasus Competitor.
20.2 Notices.

-53-
20.3 Force Majeure.
-------------
If any of Pegasus, KFx, or Pavilion is unable to perform its obligations
under this Agreement due to circumstances beyond its reasonable control (other
than obligations for the payment of money, the maintenance of confidentiality,
or the restrictions on sublicensing), such obligations shall be suspended for so
long as those circumstances persist, once the delaying Party notifies the other
of the delay and its causes. Except where a delay is caused by the act or
omission of the other Party (in such event the rights, remedies and liabilities
of the Parties shall be those conferred and imposed by the other terms of this
Agreement), any costs arising from such delay shall be borne by the Party
incurring the same.
20.4 Attorneys' Fees.
---------------
In the event of any action or suit based upon or arising out of any alleged
breach by any Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement
contained in this Agreement, the prevailing Party will be entitled, subject to
the provisions of Section 16, to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other
costs of such action or suit from the other Party.
20.5 Export Controls.
---------------
Pegasus shall promptly cooperate with Pavilion as reasonably necessary to
comply with the laws and administrative regulations of the United States
relating to the control of exports of commodities and technical data. Pegasus
shall not, and Pavilion shall have no obligation to, export or re-export
directly or indirectly (including via remote access) any part of the Pavilion
Software (including any Confidential Information) to any country for which a
validated license is required for such export or re-export (or the export or re-
export is prohibited or otherwise restricted) under the United States export
laws. Pegasus shall further, at all times, maintain itself in compliance with
any applicable requirements of U.S. export control laws, including all
restrictions imposed on end users of the Pavilion Software. Pegasus shall be
responsible for obtaining all permits or registrations required by any
governmental body or regulatory agency for the import and use of the Pavilion
Software into any other country in which Pegasus may be permitted to use the
Pavilion Software, for this Agreement to be enforceable in any country in which
this Agreement must be registered, for Pavilion to perform services under this
Agreement, or for Pegasus personnel to attend training provided by Pavilion. If
a translation of this Agreement is required, Pegasus will provide the
translation at no cost to Pavilion. Pegasus acknowledges and agrees that any
payments to foreign government officials that would violate the United States
Foreign Corrupt Practices Act are expressly prohibited.
54
20.6 Waiver.
------
This Agreement or any of its provisions may not be waived except in
writing. The failure of any Party to enforce any right arising under this
Agreement on one or more occasions will not operate as a waiver of that or any
other right on that or any other occasion.
20.7 Captions.
--------
The article and section captions of this Agreement are for convenience only
and do not constitute a part of this Agreement.
20.8 Choice of Law; Jurisdiction.
---------------------------
This Agreement and the rights of the Parties under it will be governed by
and construed in all respects in accordance with the laws of the State of
Delaware, without regard to the conflicts of laws rules of the State of
Delaware. Because the Parties agree that this Agreement is not a contract for
the sale of goods, this Agreement shall not be governed by any codification of
Article 2, 2A or 2B of the Uniform Commercial Code or any reference to the
United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any
