Term

The term of this Agreement begins on the Effective Date and shall extend for ten (10) years from the Manufacturing Facility Completion, unless the Parties extend the term of this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement or unless this Agreement is terminated by a Party in accordance with the terms of this Agreement (“Term”).

11.2	Agreement Termination for Breach, Default or Failure to Perform

If a Party becomes a breaching Party (the “Breaching Party”) by breaching, defaulting or failing to perform any representation, warranty, covenant, obligation or agreement hereunder in any respect that is material to this Agreement, then the other Party (the “Non-Breaching Party”) may terminate this Agreement through a written notice to the Breaching Party (the “Breach Notice”) enumerating the Breaching Party’s breach(es) or failure(s) to perform or event(s) of default under this Agreement; provided, that within ninety (90) calendar days after the date upon which the Breach Notice was delivered to the Breaching Party, the Breaching Party shall be entitled to cure any of the breaches, failures to perform or events of default identified in the

FSMC-KINEX CONFIDENTIAL

If at the end of the 90-day cure period, any of the identified breaches, failures to perform or events of default have not been cured, the Non-Breaching Party may, by a signed written notice, terminate this Agreement with respect to the Breaching Party, effective immediately. Notwithstanding the above, if the Breaching Party commences to cure the breaches, failures to perform or events of default identified in the Breach Notice within the 90-day cure period, but is unable to reasonably complete the cure within such period, the Breaching Party may, upon written request to the Non-Breaching Party prior to the end of the original cure period, together with a reasonably detailed explanation of how such cure would be achieved, have an additional 90-day cure period to complete the cure if such written request is granted by the Non-Breaching Party.

11.4	Effects of Agreement Termination. Party Termination

(a)

If a Party’s participation in this Agreement is terminated by another Party in accordance with Sections 11.2 or 11.3, such Party shall be termed a “Terminated Party” herein, and the other Party (as to whose participation in this Agreement has not terminated) shall be termed the “Continuing Party” herein.

(b)

Any termination of the entire Agreement shall result in termination of all Projects and all other Program-related activities. Any termination with respect to or withdrawal by a Terminated Party shall terminate the Terminated Party’s current and/or prospective participation in all Project activities as of the effective date of the Terminated Party’s termination, but shall not relieve such Terminated Party of liability under Section 11.5 or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.

(c)

11.5	Liability upon Termination

(a)

If FSMC is the Terminated Party, FSMC’S total cumulative liability for the entirety of any remaining contributions and payments described in Section V of this Agreement shall not, under any circumstances, exceed the total amount of New York State committed contributions that have come due to the Program as of the date of termination minus any payments previously made by FSMC under this Agreement.

(b)

If KINEX is the Terminated Party, KINEX’s total cumulative liability for the entirety of any remaining contributions and payments described in Section IV of this Agreement shall not, under any circumstances, exceed the Unamortized Foundation Investment. The “Unamortized Foundation Investment” means an amount equal to (i) the lesser of $225,000,000 and the amount actually expended by FSMC prior to the termination, multiplied by (ii) a percentage, the numerator of which is equal to the difference between (x) $1,620,000,000 and (y) the amount of capital, operational and other costs incurred or spent by KINEX under Section IV through the effective date of termination, and the denominator of which is equal to $1,620,000,000.

11.6	Failure of State Funding

FSMC is reliant on the allocation of NYS funds to satisfy FSMC’s contribution obligations under Section 5.1 of this Agreement. In the event that the requisite NYS funding is not allocated to FSMC, KINEX shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice to FSMC. Termination under this Section 11.6 shall not be regarded as termination for breach, default or failure to perform under Section 11.2 or other termination events under Section 11.3, but rather shall be considered termination by reason of impossibility. FSMC shall have no further obligations except those which apply to termination under this Section 11.6 or which otherwise survive termination as set forth in this Agreement.

(b)

An Indemnitee, for purposes of asserting the indemnifications under this Section, will give the applicable Indemnitor written notice of any Indemnified Claim within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee (a) receives notice of an Indemnified Claim for which indemnification is sought or (b) determines that an event of which it is aware is likely to give rise to an Indemnified Claim for indemnification, and the Indemnitee will give copies to the Indemnitor of all information and documents relating to such Indemnified Claim or potential Indemnified Claim that are received by the Indemnitee within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee’s receipt thereof or, if applicable, within thirty (30) days after the Indemnitee makes the determination referred to in clause (b); provided, that the failure of the Indemnitee to give notice or deliver copies of information or documents within the specified time periods shall not limit the Indemnitee’s right to claim indemnification hereunder, except to the extent that the Indemnitor can demonstrate that it was actually damaged by the failure to give notice or provide information or documents within the specified time periods. The applicable Indemnitor will be obligated to defend any Indemnified Claim for indemnification hereunder, and to select counsel for any third-party Indemnified Claim, which counsel shall be reasonably satisfactory to the Indemnitee, all at the sole cost and expense of the Indemnitor; provided, that the Indemnitee will be allowed, at its expense, to participate in such defense; provided, further, that no settlement shall be entered into

8.	Project Invention Disclosure Review

At least on an annual basis, during the Term of this Agreement, each Party must report in writing to the other Party on the status of all Project Invention disclosures, any corresponding patent applications, and any corresponding issued patents for which it is responsible. For one (1) year after the expiration or earlier termination of this Agreement, each Party must report in writing to the other Party the status of all Project Invention disclosures, any corresponding patent applications, and any corresponding issued patents for which it is responsible.

9.	Activity at Other Facilities

Any intellectual property developed by KINEX in any other FOUNDATION-owned facilities outside of those provided for the Program and/or outside of the SUNY POLY Facilities is not part of this Agreement and shall be subject to the terms and conditions of any separate contract or agreement executed between KINEX and FSMC or its Affiliate.

10.	No Restriction on Licensing Owned Patents

11.	Joint Project Costs and Personnel

Except as otherwise expressly agreed to in this Agreement or the corresponding SOW, each Party shall be responsible for and shall bear (a) all of its own costs and expenses for a Joint Project and (b) all responsibility for all personnel that it uses for a Joint Project.

12.	Project Approval Process

The Parties and/or their Affiliates shall define each new Joint Project by implementing a signed SOW, substantially in the form of the statement of work set forth in this Exhibit, setting forth the appropriate work items for carrying out each respective Joint Project. All Projects which involve the operation of SUNY POLY Tools by FOUNDATION Personnel will also require a signed SOW setting forth the appropriate work items for carrying out each respective Joint Project. Each SOW shall include a start date, a Joint Project Target End Date, a Joint Project tool description, target process development objectives, milestones, the expected roles of the Parties, and the scope of work, with all dates and time periods in each SOW being targets only. The Program Managers shall be responsible for coordinating communications and execution of actions toward achievement of the milestones. Each Party will use commercially reasonable efforts for the successful completion of milestones. The Parties may from time to time, as new SOWs are developed within the budget, amend Exhibit D to add such SOWs as necessary. Upon written acceptance by the Parties, such additional SOWs will become part of this Agreement and attached in this Exhibit. Failure however to formally amend this Exhibit has no bearing on the agreed Joint Project SOW becoming part of the Program and part of this Agreement.

CONFIDENTIALITY

1.	Disclosure of Confidential Information

(a)

Each Party may disclose and receive Confidential Information (defined below) from the other Party.

(b)

“Confidential Information” shall mean all information that (i) is maintained in confidence by a Party (“Owning Party”), (ii) is disclosed to or obtained by the other Party in connection with and during the Term of this Agreement, including, but not limited to, information that relates to such Owning Party’s or its Affiliates’ past, present or future research, development, manufacturing, or business activities relating to the Essential Purposes, and (iii) is information that may be exempted from disclosure under Articles 6 and 6-A of the New York Public Officers Law. Either Party (“Disclosing Party”) may disclose its Confidential Information to the other Party (“Receiving Party”) orally, in writing, or by other media or transfer of materials including graphic, photographic, recorded, prototype, sample, or other tangible or permanent form clearly and obviously marked “confidential” or “proprietary”. Electronic information will be adequately marked if the container is marked and if a proprietary legend displays when the information runs on a computer system and when the information is printed from its data file.

(c)

When disclosed orally, Disclosing Party shall identify the information as confidential at the time of such disclosure, with subsequent written confirmation to Receiving Party within thirty (30) days of such disclosure indicating the date and type of information disclosed. All restrictions provided herein regarding use and/or disclosure shall apply during such thirty-day period.

2.	Protecting confidential information

(a)

Receiving Party will retain Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information in confidence for three (3) years from the date of disclosure. Receiving Party will not disclose, disseminate, or publish any of Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to any person except employees or agents of Receiving Party on a need to know basis, except as consistent with the Receiving Party’s obligations under Articles 6 and 6-A of the New York Public Officers Law, or other applicable law, regulation or legal process. Receiving Party shall ensure that such employees or agents shall be bound by terms at least as protective as the terms of this Exhibit F. Each Party warrants that employees or agents shall comply with the terms of this Exhibit F. Upon the termination or expiration of this Agreement, the Parties shall confer regarding the status of Confidential Information disclosed and/or created under this Agreement.

Ownership

All right, title and interest in Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information which is furnished to the Receiving Party shall be and remain the exclusive property of the Disclosing Party.

SIGNATURE COPY

4.	Standard of Care

The Receiving Party shall be held to the same standard of care in protecting Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information as the Receiving Party normally employs to preserve and safeguard its own Confidential Information of similar kind, but in no event less than reasonable care.

5.	Exclusions; Required Disclosure

(a)

Receiving Party’s obligations regarding Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information shall not apply to information (a) that was already known to Receiving Party prior to the disclosure of such information to Receiving Party by Disclosing Party, (b) that is or becomes publicly available through no act or fault of Receiving Party, (c) that is rightfully received by Receiving Party from a third-party having no obligation of confidentiality to Disclosing Party, or (d) that is independently developed by Receiving Party.

(b)

In the event FOUNDATION is required by law, regulation, or court order to disclose any of KINEX’s Confidential Information, FOUNDATION will notify KINEX in writing prior to making such disclosure in order to facilitate KINEX seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy from the appropriate legal body. In the event KINEX is required by law, regulation, or court order to disclose any of FOUNDATION’S Confidential Information, KINEX will notify FOUNDATION in writing prior to making such disclosure in order to facilitate FOUNDATION seeking a protective order or other appropriate remedy from the appropriate legal body. The Receiving Party further agrees that if the Disclosing Party is not successful in precluding the requesting legal body from reviewing the Confidential Information, it will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is legally required and will exercise all reasonable efforts to obtain reliable assurances that confidential treatment will be accorded the Confidential Information.

(c)

FOUNDATION is required to comply with the New York State Freedom of Information Law, Public Officers Law, Article 6 which provides for public access to information FOUNDATION possesses. Public Officers Law, Section 87(2)(d) provides for exceptions to disclosures for records or portions thereof that are “trade secrets or are submitted to an agency by a commercial enterprise or derived from information obtained from a commercial enterprise and which if disclosed would cause substantial injury to the competitive position of the subject enterprise.” Information submitted to FOUNDATION that KINEX wishes to have treated as proprietary and confidential, should be identified and labeled as “Confidential” or “Proprietary” on each page at the time of disclosure. This information should include a written request to exempt it from disclosure, including a written statement of the reasons why the information should be exempted.
