3.3. Monthly Payment. Royalties on Net Sales of Licensed Products shall be paid to Licensor on a monthly basis within twenty (20) days following the end of the month in which Licensee receives payment on its invoices relating to such Net Sales. For purposes of calculating Net Sales, returns received or refunds given by Licensee during any month will be deducted from any gross sales for which Licensee received payment during such month, but if Licensee has not received any such payments during such month (or has not received sufficient payments to offset the returns or refunds), then such returns or refunds will be deducted during the next calendar month in which Licensee receives such payments.

3.4. Taxes. All payments due hereunder shall be paid without deduction for taxes, assessments, or other charges of any kind or description that may be imposed on Licensor by any government (except the taxes and withholding tax imposed by the government of the country of the Licensee and the federal government of the United States) or any political subdivision of such non-United States government, with respect to any amounts payable to Licensor pursuant to this Agreement, and such taxes, assessments, and other charges shall be paid for and assumed by Licensee.

ARTICLE 9
TERM AND TERMINATION

9.1. Term. This Agreement shall be in effect from the Effective Date and shall continue for ten (10) years, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. At the end of the first ten (10) years Term, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for periods of additional three years, unless terminated by the Parties with twelve months written notices.

9.2. Early Termination. Notwithstanding any other provision contained herein, this Agreement may be terminated as follows:

(a) Material Breach. This Agreement shall terminate on the thirtieth (30th) day after either party gives the other party written notice of a material breach by the other party of any term or condition of this Agreement, unless the breach is cured before that day to the reasonable satisfaction of the non-breaching party. The right of a party to terminate this Agreement shall be in addition to and not in lieu of any other right or remedy that the terminating party may have at law or in equity. The failure to timely pay any sales-based royalties or earned royalties hereunder shall be deemed to be a material breach under this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any breach by Licensee of any provision of Article 10 hereof shall constitute a material breach entitling Licensor to immediately terminate this Agreement upon written notice to Licensee without an opportunity to cure.

(b) Bankruptcy. This Agreement may be terminated immediately by a party in the event the other party becomes insolvent, files or has filed against it a petition under any chapter of the United States Bankruptcy Code (or any similar petition under the insolvency law of an applicable jurisdiction) and such petition is not dismissed within thirty (30) days, proposes any dissolution, liquidation, financial reorganization, or re-capitalization with creditors, or makes an assignment or trust mortgage for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver, trustee, custodian, or similar agent is appointed or takes possession of any property or business of such other party. If Licensor shall file a petition of insolvency, Licensee may continue to exercise its rights under this Agreement so long as the Licensee is not in breach itself of any terms or conditions of this Agreement.

(c) Misappropriation. This Agreement may be terminated immediately without liability by Licensor in the event that Licensor has reasonable grounds to believe that unauthorized use of the Licensed Patents, Licensed Technical Information, or other Confidential Information of Licensor has been made by Licensee or a person or party within its control.

9.3. Effect of Termination.

(a) Licensee’s Rights Upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, the licenses and all other rights granted to Licensee under this Agreement shall immediately terminate. If Licensee terminates this Agreement due to nonpayment for contract manufacturing under Section 12 and such breach has not been cured within sixty (60) days of written notice by Licensee to Licensor, then Licensee may offset the Licensor’s unpaid amount against royalties due to Licensor until such unpaid amounts are fully recovered by Licensee through this offset.

(b) Return of Confidential Materials. Within fifteen (15) days after termination of this Agreement, Licensee shall return to Licensor all Licensed Technical Information and other Confidential Information of Licensor then in its possession, custody or control.

(c) No Obligation to Refund. After termination of this Agreement, Licensor shall have no obligation to refund any money paid to Licensor under this Agreement. Licensee will be free to use all its assets relating to the entire business of selling and manufacturing products using Amorphous Alloys for other purposes than selling and manufacturing products using Amorphous Alloys. Licensor will re-purchase all inventory or feedstock then in possession of Licensee or otherwise owned by Licensee.

(d) Continuation of Obligations. After termination of this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement concerning the parties’ obligations and responsibilities under Article 10 (Confidentiality) shall continue in full force and effect for an additional period of ten (10) years, and indefinitely for trade secrets; and Licensee’s payment and other obligations under Section 3 (License Fees and Royalties) shall

continue in effect until paid. In the event Licensor terminates the licenses granted under this Agreement in accordance with the terms hereof for nonpayment of royalties or other breach by Licensee, all amounts then owing by Licensee shall immediately become due and payable.

(e) No Damages for Termination; No Effect on Other Rights and Remedies. Neither party shall be liable for damages of any kind as a result of properly exercising its respective right to terminate this Agreement according to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and termination will not affect any other right or remedy of either party.

ARTICLE 10
CONFIDENTIALITY

10.1. Terms of Agreement. Each party agrees not to disclose any terms of this Agreement to any third party without the consent of the other party; provided, however, that disclosures may be made as required by securities or other applicable laws; or by either party to its accountants, attorneys, and other professional advisors. Neither party shall release any publicity or information concerning this Agreement without the other party’s prior written approval, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

10.2. Restrictions on Disclosure and Use.

(a) Restrictions and Covenants. Except as otherwise provided herein, each party agrees that, in its capacity as the Recipient of Confidential Information, it will (i) hold the Discloser’s Confidential Information in strict confidence, use a high degree of care in safeguarding the Discloser’s Confidential Information, and take all precautions necessary to protect the Discloser’s Confidential Information including, at a minimum, all precautions the Recipient normally employs with respect to its own Confidential Information, (ii) not divulge any of the Discloser’s Confidential Information or any information derived therefrom (including results of tests on material samples) to any other person (except as set forth in Section 10.2(b) (Disclosure to Representatives) hereof), (iii) not make any use whatsoever at any time of the Discloser’s Confidential Information except as is necessary in the performance of Recipient’s specific duties or the exercise of its rights under this Agreement, (iv) notify the Discloser in writing immediately upon discovery by the Recipient or its Representatives of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Discloser’s Confidential Information, and (v) upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, immediately return to the Discloser or destroy (at the option of the Recipient) all such Confidential Information, including all originals, copies and extracts.

(b) Disclosure to Representatives. The Recipient may only disseminate the Discloser’s Confidential Information to its Representatives who have been informed of the Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement and are bound by an obligation of confidentiality and non-use with respect to the Discloser’s Confidential Information at least as broad in scope as the Recipient’s obligations under this Agreement. The Recipient agrees to reasonably restrict disclosure of the Discloser’s Confidential Information to the smallest number of the Recipient’s Representatives which have a need to know the Confidential Information. The Recipient shall be responsible for enforcing this Agreement as to the Recipient’s Representatives and shall take such action (legal or otherwise) to the extent necessary to cause them to comply with this Agreement.

(c) Trade Secrets. Any trade secrets of the Discloser will also be entitled to all of the protections and benefits of applicable trade secret law, and the Recipient agrees to be bound by all applicable trade secret laws, unfair competition laws, and any other similar laws with respect to the Discloser’s Confidential Information. If any Confidential Information that the Discloser deems to be a trade secret is found by a court of competent jurisdiction not be a trade secret under applicable law, such Confidential Information will nevertheless still be protected by this Agreement.

(d) Protection of Licensed Technical Information by Licensee. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the Licensed Technical Information derives economic value from not being generally known to other persons who can obtain economic value from its disclosure or use. Therefore, without the express written consent of Licensor, Licensee covenants and agrees that it, its employees, contractors, representatives, successors, assigns, affiliates, parents, subsidiaries, officers, directors, and the like will (1) hold the Licensed Technical Information in strict confidence, use a high degree of care in safeguarding the Licensed Technical Information, and take all precautions reasonably necessary to protect the Licensed Technical Information including, without limitation, all precautions Licensee normally takes with respect to its own most sensitive and confidential information, (2) not divulge any of the Licensed Technical Information or any information derived therefrom to any person other than Licensor, (3) not make any use whatsoever at any time of the Licensed Technical Information except in furtherance of Licensee’s obligations to Licensor and as necessary to produce Licensed Products in accordance with the license granted under this Agreement, and (4) notify Licensor in writing immediately upon discovery of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the Licensed Technical Information by Licensee or its employees or any third party.

(e) Enforcement. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique nature of the Licensed Technical Information and other Confidential Information of Licensor, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations hereunder, which breach may result in irreparable harm to Licensor, and therefore, that upon any such breach or any threat thereof, Licensor shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief, including injunction, without the requirement of posting a bond, in addition to whatever remedies it might have at law.

(f) Exceptions. Confidential Information does not include information:

(i) that becomes publicly known without breach of the Recipient’s or its Representatives’ obligations under this Agreement;

(ii) or is required to be disclosed by law or by court order or government order, provided that the Recipient (a) promptly notifies the Discloser of any such disclosure requirement so that the Discloser may seek an appropriate protective order (or other appropriate protections), and (b) provides reasonable assistance (at no cost to the Recipient) in obtaining such protective order or other form of protection; or

(iii) as to which and to the extent to which the Recipient has received express written consent from an authorized officer of the Discloser to disclose or use; or

(iv) is required to be disclosed by Licensor pursuant to U.S. securities laws.

A specific item of Confidential Information shall not be deemed to fall within the foregoing exceptions merely because such specific item is embraced or implied by more general Confidential Information that falls within the foregoing exceptions.

MARGIN

The Margin for each Licensed Product for purposes of Section 3.1 of this Agreement will be equal to a percentage that is calculated by dividing, for any particular calendar month (the “Selected Month”), (i) the Gross Sale Price of the Licensed Product minus the Total Cost of Sale for the Licensed Products, by (ii) the Gross Sale Price of the Licensed Product. For purposes of this calculation, the following terms shall have the following meanings:

“Gross Sale Price” shall mean the Licensee’s revenues from sales of the Licensed Product for the Selected Month calculated in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”).

“Total Cost of Sale” shall mean the sum of (i) the costs of goods sold on the Licensed Products for the Selected Month calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus (ii) the Allocated Depreciation for the Selected Month, minus (iii) royalties payable to Licensor pursuant to this Agreement.

“Allocated Depreciation” for the Selected Month with respect to each different Licensed Product shall be calculated by dividing the Licensee’s aggregate purchase price paid for the Equipment by 60 to arrive at the “Monthly Depreciation Cost,” and then allocating the Monthly Depreciation Cost to each Licensed Product produced during the Selected Month (on a model-by-model basis) based on the number of hours of casting-machine operation utilized with respect to each such product model as a percentage of the total number of hours of casting-machine available for use, taking into consideration routine maintenance and machine set-up time, during such Selected Month with respect to all Licensed Products.. Routine maintenance and machine set up time shall not exceed thirty percent (30%) of the total number of hours of casting-machine hours available for use.

The cost of services provided by Licensor to Licensee shall be excluded from “Total Cost of Sale” unless accepted by Licensee and provided that such services are at levels of competitive services.
