The terms and conditions of this Agreement, and the existence and subject matter of this Agreement, shall be considered and are deemed to be Confidential Information under this Agreement for which each Party is considered a Recipient under this Agreement. All ATMI Customer Foreground Non-Patent Rights and all ATMI Foreground Non-Patent Rights are and shall be deemed to be the sole Confidential Information of ATMI Customer and ATMI respectively.  All Joint Foreground Non-Patent Rights shall be deemed to be the joint Confidential Information of both Parties (“Joint Confidential Information”) regardless of the selecting Party in relation to the Draft under this Agreement, and each Party is deemed to be a Recipient of such Joint Confidential Information hereunder. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information shall not include any information or data that: (i) is rightfully in Recipient’s possession at the time of disclosure without an obligation of confidentiality; (ii) is or becomes available to the public through no breach of this Agreement or any prior confidentiality agreement between the Parties; (iii) is approved for non-confidential release by written authorization of Discloser; (iv) is independently developed by Recipient without use of Discloser’s Confidential Information; or (v) is lawfully obtained from a Third Party without restriction and without breach of this Agreement or any other agreement.

 

11.2        Subsidiaries and Contractors.  A Party and/or its Subsidiaries and Contractors may disclose Confidential Information hereunder and when such entity does it is referred to herein as a “Discloser”, and a Party and/or its Subsidiaries and Contractors may receive Confidential Information hereunder and when such entity does it is referred to herein as a “Recipient.” A Party and any Subsidiary or Contractor of such Party may disclose Confidential Information to the other Party and any Subsidiary or Contractor of such other Party.

 

11.3        Degree of Care; Non-disclosure. Recipient shall maintain Discloser’s Confidential Information and Joint Confidential Information with at least the same degree of care it uses to protect its own confidential information, but in no case with less than

Each Party shall be liable for any unauthorized disclosure of the Confidential Information or Joint Confidential Information by Representatives or Representatives of its Subsidiaries and Contractors.

 

(b)           Required Disclosure.  Recipient may disclose Discloser’s Confidential Information or Joint Confidential Information pursuant to a valid judicial or governmental order or as required by Applicable Law or stock exchange rule, provided however that, prior to such disclosure, Recipient shall notify Discloser of such requirement to disclose and shall reasonably cooperate with Discloser’s efforts to seek a protective order or otherwise avoid or minimize the disclosure.

 

(c)           Sale/Use of CDP Chemicals and CDP Semiconductor Products. The sale or use of any CDP Chemicals and/or CDP Semiconductor Products as permitted under this Agreement that inherently discloses Confidential Information of the Discloser or any Joint Confidential Information shall not be deemed to be a breach of the confidentiality terms of this Agreement or be deemed a violation of any other confidentiality obligations between ATMI Customer and ATMI, including any use or disclosure restrictions.

 

(d)           Patent Prosecution. The Drafting Party may disclose Joint Confidential Information, related to a CDP Joint Invention allocated to the Drafting Party pursuant to the Draft under this Agreement to a Governmental Entity as reasonably necessary for the purposes of Patent Prosecution, and such disclosure shall not be deemed to be a breach of this Agreement or be deemed a violation of any other confidentiality obligations between ATMI Customer and ATMI, including any use or disclosure restrictions.

 

(e)           ATMI Customer Customers and Potential Customers.  ATMI Customer and its Subsidiaries may disclose Joint Confidential Information to Third Party customers or bona fide potential Third Party customers (or to Affiliates, JV Affiliates, and/or JV Partners of ATMI Customer) where such disclosure is reasonably required in

(g)           ATMI Customer JV Affiliates and ATMI Customer JV Partners.  ATMI Customer and its Subsidiaries may disclose Confidential Information of ATMI, ATMI’s Wholly-Owned Subsidiaries, and ATMI’s Contractors and Joint Confidential Information to ATMI Customer JV Affiliates and ATMI Customer JV Partners who are subject to nondisclosure obligations as strict as the nondisclosure obligations provided for in this Agreement.

 

11.5        Copies of Confidential Information.  Recipient shall not make copies of Discloser’s Confidential Information, including Joint Confidential Information, except as reasonably necessary for the use of its Representatives or to facilitate disclosure of Confidential Information expressly permitted in this Agreement on a need-to-know basis.  Any copies that are made must be identical to the original, may not be modified, and shall be considered the property of Discloser.

Amendment Number 6

 

to the

 

Wets Workflow Purchase Agreement and Dry Workflow Purchase Agreement

 

Advanced Technology Materials, Inc., with a principal place of business at 7 Commerce Drive, Danbury, CT 06810 (“ATMI”), and Intermolecular, Inc., with a principal place of business at 3011 North First Street, San Jose, California 95134 (“IM”) entered into a Wets Workflow Purchase Agreement effective July 13, 2007, which

 

was amended by an Addendum effective Dec. 21, 2007 (“Amendment Number 1”), and

 

was amended by an Amendment effective Dec. 16, 2008 (“Amendment Number 2”), and

 

was amended by a Supplement effective Mar. 16, 2009 (“Amendment Number 3”), and

 

was amended by a Modification effective Aug. 27, 2010 (“Amendment Number 4”)  and

 

was amended by an amendment effective Mar. 3, 2011 (“Amendment Number 5”)

 

(collectively the “Wets Agreement”).

 

ATMI and IM also entered into a Dry Workflow Purchase Agreement effective December 16, 2008, which agreement has been amended by certain of the Amendments referenced above (collectively the “Dry Agreement”).

 

NOW, THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged, the parties agree to modify the terms of the Wets Agreement and the Dry Agreement (hereinafter “Amendment Number 6” or “Amendment”) as set forth below.

 

1.              Full Engagement

 

1.1.         IM is in the process of arranging for ATMI’s full engagement and participation in the [*] project being undertaken by [*] and IM (the “Project”), which Project has not yet been fully defined.

 

1.2.         IM is interested in having ATMI  support the Project as described below, including by ATMI making available its [*] workflow (“Workflow”).

 

1.3.         In furtherance of complying with IM’s obligations under Section 4.3 of Amendment Number 2 as modified by Section 1.6 of Amendment Number 4 (“Preferred Material Supplier Clause”), IM is in discussions with [*] for [*] to permit certain named ATMI personnel (not to exceed 2 persons) participate directly with IM and [*] personnel as part of the Project (such ATMI participation hereinafter defined as “Full Engagement”).

 

IM and ATMI Confidential

 

1



 

2.              Workflow support

 

2.1.         If [*] permits the Full Engagement ATMI agrees to fully support the deployment, training, operation and execution of the elements, methods and procedures of the Workflow towards a successful implementation of the Project (hereinafter “Workflow Support”), provided that such Workflow Support expectations do not exceed one Full Time Engineer.  If [*] permits the Full Engagement, ATMI shall provide the Workflow Support at no charge to IM. IM understands that it may need to purchase select capital equipment to locate within IM if required to execute the Full Engagement.

 

2.2.         If [*] does not permit a Full Engagement, ATMI agrees to fully support execution of work on the Workflow pursuant to IM’s written request but will not support the deployment, or training of any Workflow element to either IM of [*] personnel. IM and ATMI will agree on a payment by IM to ATMI for ATMI’s services rendered in the execution of this Workflow based on the level of ATMI’s support of the Project, provided that such payments cannot exceed a rate of $[*] per month for the duration of the Project.  IM expects the duration of the Project to be less than 6 months.  Neither IM’s payment obligations nor ATMI’s obligations to provide Workflow Support under this Amendment shall extend beyond 6 months from the commencement of the Project, unless the parties mutually agree in writing. In the event the Project extends beyond 6 months, IM and ATMI will, in good faith, negotiate the monthly payments to ATMI beyond that Period.

 

2.3.         IM acknowledges that it is had access to ATMI confidential information about the Workflow, and agrees that it will make no attempt to replicate any ATMI Workflow elements without the expressed written permission of ATMI.  For the avoidance of doubt, this means that IM may not use any ATMI confidential information to develop coupon polish and/or clean capability of its own to support the Project.  If ATMI grants permission for IM to replicate any ATMI Workflow elements, ATMI and IM will negotiate appropriate compensation to be paid to ATMI by IM.  The restrictions on IM under this paragraph shall not apply, however, to any information which (a) is already in the public domain at the time of disclosure or becomes available to the public after the time of disclosure through no breach of this Agreement by IM; (b) was in IM’s possession prior to receipt from ATMI; (c) was received by IM from a third party; (d) is independently developed by IM; (e) is approved by ATMI for use by IM; or (f) is required to be disclosed by law or the rules of any governmental organization.

 

2.4.         IM agrees that the Workflow elements provided by ATMI to IM as part of the Workflow Support shall be solely used for the Project and not for any other project.

 

3.              Preferred Supplier

 

3.1.         Nothing in this letter shall serve to reduce IM’s obligations under the Preferred Material Supplier Clause.

 

This Amendment shall have an effective date of October 27, 2011 (“Effective Date”)

 

All capitalized terms not defined herein shall have the meanings given them in the Wets Agreement or the Dry Agreement, as applicable. This Amendment shall be deemed to be incorporated into each of the Wets Agreement and the Dry Agreement and made a part thereof.

 

IM and ATMI Confidential
