ARTICLE 2
LICENSE GRANT, CONSIDERATION, AND ENFORCEMENT

2.1     VPC Fields License Grant. Licensor grants to Licensee a fully paid-up, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide, non-transferrable (except as permitted pursuant to Section 8.2(ii) and except for the right to grant sublicenses as permitted pursuant to this Section 2.1), nonexclusive license under the LMT Technology in the VPC Fields to use, reproduce, publish, display, distribute, perform, exploit and disclose the LMT Technology, and/or to make and have made, assemble and have assembled, use, sell, offer to sell, import and offer to import, export and offer to export, distribute and offer to distribute, repair, reconstruct, practice, and maintain Licensed Products, and/or to perform any act or step that incorporates, utilizes, embodies or reflects, any inventions claimed in the LMT Technology, including, without limitation, any such activities that would, absent such a license, subject a person or other legal entity to a claim of direct infringement, contributory infringement, inducing infringement, or any other type of infringement. Licensee’s right to use the LMT Technology in the VPC Fields shall include, without limitation, the right to modify and create derivative works from the LMT Technology. Such Licensee modifications and derivative works to the LMT Technology and all Intellectual Property Rights therein (the “Licensee Modifications”) shall be owned solely and exclusively by Licensee. Licensee shall further have the right to grant sublicenses to use the LMT Technology in the VPC Fields, including without limitation such sublicenses as may be required to permit purchasers of Licensed Products to assemble and have assembled, use, sell, offer to sell, import and offer to import, export and offer to export, distribute and offer to distribute, repair, reconstruct, practice, and maintain Licensed Products; provided, however, that notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Licensee will not (i) sublicense to any party any of Licensee’s rights under this Agreement in their entirety; (ii) sublicense any part of the LMT Technology to any party for the purpose of developing, making, having made, using, selling, offering to sell, importing, exporting, distributing, repairing, reconstructing, practicing or maintaining amorphous alloys or machines to be used to conduct Casting Operations by any party other than Licensee or a subcontractor acting solely on Licensee’s behalf; (iii) sublicense any part of the LMT Technology to any party to conduct Casting Operations in any jurisdiction in which the Casting Operations are covered by a valid claim of any patent included within the Intellectual Property Rights so long as such patent remains in effect; or (iv) sublicense any party to conduct Casting Operations to make or have made, assemble or have assembled, use, sell or offer to sell, import or offer to import, export or offer to export, distribute or offer to distribute, repair, reconstruct, practice or maintain any Licensed Products that are made, assembled, used, sold or offered for sale, imported or offered for import, exported or offered for export, distributed or offered for distribution, repaired, reconstructed, practiced, or maintained in any jurisdiction in which Casting Operations for the Licensed Product or the Licensed Product are covered by a valid claim of any patent included within the Intellectual Property Rights so long as such patent remains in effect. Nothing in this Agreement shall give Licensee or its sublicensees any right to use any portion of the LMT Technology in the field of Consumer Electronic Products or any of the Additional Excluded Fields, except as otherwise permitted pursuant to Section 2.8.

2.2     Consideration. Licensor acknowledges and agrees that Licensor has received additional consideration for the license and rights granted to Licensee herein, including without limitation by way of Licensee’s execution and delivery of that certain Settlement Agreement of even date herewith and the other agreements executed and delivered in connection therewith and the termination of that certain Master Transaction Agreement, that certain Manufacturing Services Agreement and that certain Subscription Agreement, each dated effective as of June 1, 2012.

2.3     Enforcement. As required pursuant to the Apple Agreement, Licensee acknowledges that Licensor and Crucible have the right to take any and all actions necessary to defend the LMT Technology created, conceived, invented, or discovered before the end of the Capture Period, as such term is defined in the Apple Agreement, including any extension of the Capture Period, in any litigation or administrative proceedings in which Licensee is a party. In addition, Licensee acknowledges the sole and exclusive rights of Apple to control patent prosecution for inventions and patents, as more fully set forth in Section 5 of the Apple Agreement, as to LMT Technology created, conceived, invented, or discovered before the end of the Capture Period, including any extension of the Capture Period.

2.4     Release. Licensor, on behalf of itself and its successors and assigns, hereby releases, acquits and forever discharges Licensee, its affiliates, and all of their respective current and former predecessors, successors, agents, attorneys, employees, contractors, subcontractors, officers, directors and customers, from any and all claims of infringement or misappropriation of the LMT Technology that occurred prior to the Effective Date.

2.5     Trademark Usage. Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, Licensee shall receive no license to utilize any trademark, service mark, logo or trade dress of Licensor, including, without limitation, those listed in Attachment B to this Agreement. Licensee shall be entitled to truthfully advise customers, potential customers and others (though not as part of Licensee’s general or public Marketing) that Licensee has a license from Licensor and Licensee is authorized to use the LMT Technology, including without limitation alloys or machines licensed by Licensor, and that Licensee is not in violation of patents or other Intellectual Property Rights included within the LMT Technology. Further, if a customer of Licensee desires that Licensee use Licensor certified or approved alloys in products manufactured by Licensee, and if Licensee does so in compliance with the terms of any certification requirements established by Licensor for those materials, which certification requirements shall be applied generally across all licensees of Licensor and shall not discriminate against Licensee or customers of Licensee, then the Licensee customer may identify for the public or its customers that the product is made using Licensor certified or approved alloys, but Licensee may not advertise this in Licensee’s general or public Marketing. If (i) Licensor contracts with Licensee for Licensee to provide services (including design, development or production of any product, which for purposes of this sentence shall include sample, prototype or any other products) to Licensor in connection with products that Licensor provides to customers, and (ii) Licensor does in fact identify such a customer publicly as a Licensor customer or such products publicly in Licensor’s Marketing as having been manufactured, delivered, or provided to the customer by Licensor, then (A) Licensor shall credit Licensee’s contribution to such customer or product in connection with such public disclosure in Licensor’s Marketing in a commercially reasonable manner (in which case Licensor’s use of any trade name, trade dress, trade mark or similar Intellectual Property Right of Licensee shall conform to Licensee’s usage guidelines for such trade name, trade dress, trademark or similar Intellectual Property Right), and (B) Licensee shall have the right to include in Licensee’s Marketing information regarding Licensee’s contribution to such customer or product, which information may be in addition to that provided by Licensor in Licensor’s Marketing provided that the manner in which Licensee references any branding for any such Licensor product when describing Licensee’s contribution to such product in Licensee’s Marketing shall be consistent with Licensor’s branding for such product as presented in Licensor’s Marketing, and any use of any trade name, trade dress, trade mark or similar Intellectual Property Right of Licensor shall conform to Licensor’s usage guidelines for such trade name, trade dress, trademark or similar Intellectual Property Right. Licensee may include on its website a link to Licensor’s website for any customers, projects, samples, prototypes and/or products to which Licensee contributed. For purposes of this Section, the term “Marketing” or “Market” shall mean advertising or promoting a party’s goods or services, including without limitation marketing or advertising on a party’s website or in materials displayed or distributed by a party at trade shows. Each of the Parties agrees that it will not embed the other Party’s trademarks, service marks or any confusingly similar variant thereof in the code for its website, including but not limited to meta-tags, keywords, or other machine-readable instructions; purchase any advertising words, including but not limited to Google Ad Words, that include any the other Party’s trademarks, service marks or any confusingly similar variant thereof, to promote its website, business or products; make any reference to the other Party’s trademarks, service marks or any confusingly similar variant thereof as part of any Marketing materials; or include any of the other Party’s trademarks, service marks or any confusingly similar variant thereof as part of any account or handle on any social media network, or make reference to any of the other Party’s trademarks, service marks or any confusingly similar variant thereof on such social media networks; provided, however, that the foregoing restrictions shall not prevent either Party from making the references to the name of the other Party’s business as reasonably required in order to exercise the rights or fulfill the obligations of such Party as set forth in this Section 2.5.

2.6     Covenant for Continuation of License Rights. Licensor represents, warrants and covenants that the license granted to VPC pursuant to this Agreement with respect to the LMT Technology shall remain in full force and effect without termination for any reason, and that Licensee shall have the continuing right to exercise such license in perpetuity. Any termination or partial termination of this Agreement shall be a material breach of this Agreement, in which case Licensee shall have a claim against Licensor for all damages incurred by Licensee in connection with such breach and such termination or partial termination.

2.7     Sublicense Obligations. If Licensee elects to grant any sublicense(s) as permitted under Section 2.1, and during such period as the LMT Technology is exclusively licensed to Apple and/or its successors or assigns within the field of Consumer Electronic Products pursuant to the Apple Agreement, any such sublicense agreement must include the following: (a) a clear statement that, notwithstanding any other provisions in such sublicense, nothing in such sublicense shall give the sublicensee any right to use any portion of the LMT Technology created, conceived, invented, or discovered before the end of the Capture Period, including any extension of the Capture Period, in the field of Consumer Electronic Products (and Licensee shall include in each sublicense agreement the full definition of “Consumer Electronic Products” that is specified herein for reference); (b) a clear reservation of Licensor’s right to take any and all actions necessary to defend the LMT Technology created, conceived, invented, or discovered before the end of the Capture Period, including any extension of the Capture Period, in any litigation or administrative proceedings in which the sublicensee is a party; and (c) a clear reservation of Crucible’s right to take any and all actions necessary to defend the LMT Technology created, conceived, invented, or discovered before the end of the Capture Period, including any extension of the Capture Period, in any litigation or administrative proceedings in which the sublicensee is a party.

2.8     Recapture of Excluded Fields. In the event that the rights to either Consumer Electronic Products or one or more Additional Excluded Fields, in each such case either in whole or in part, are acquired by Licensor, without the need for any payment of Additional Consideration (as defined herein) by Licensor, such recaptured fields of use shall automatically and without further action of the Parties be included within the VPC Fields. Where rights in either Consumer Electronic Products or one or more Additional Excluded Fields are acquired by Licensor as a result of Licensor’s payment of any form of Additional Consideration, Licensor may, at its sole discretion, offer Licensee an opportunity to acquire a license to said fields of use on terms mutually acceptable to the Parties. “Additional Consideration” shall mean a payment made by Licensor in return for the recapture of all or a portion of any exclusive license rights granted by Licensor, which payment is made pursuant to a bona fide, arms-length transaction between unrelated parties and represents an exchange of reasonably equivalent consideration on both sides. For clarification, the payment made by Licensor as referenced in the preceding sentence may take the form of cash, securities, other tangible or intangible property including a cross license or forbearance, or other consideration.

2.9     Effect of Agreement. The Parties agree and acknowledge that as of the Effective Date, both Licensor and Licensee are free to pursue any current or potential customers for the sale of Licensed Products within the VPC Fields without limitation or restriction, and that there is no requirement for the initial customer or any downstream party that obtains a Licensed Product manufactured under the license granted to Licensee pursuant to this Agreement to obtain a further license from Licensor for such Licensed Product. Further, nothing in in this Agreement precludes or restricts Licensee from entering into an agreement, contract or other arrangement with any other licensee of Licensor, including without limitation Apple or a licensee that hold rights within the Additional Excluded Fields (a “Third Party Licensor”), and exercising without restriction the rights that Licensee obtains from such party. For clarity, the restrictions set forth in this Agreement upon Licensee’s right to use the LMT Technology do not apply with respect to any rights that Licensee may obtain to the same or any similar technology under an agreement with any such Third Party Licensor.

ARTICLE 3
TERM

3.1     Term. The term of this Agreement commences on the Effective Date and shall continue in perpetuity. This Agreement shall not be terminable by the Parties.

ARTICLE 4
COVENANT NOT TO SUE AND OTHER OBLIGATIONS

4.1     Covenant Not to Sue. Except as set forth below in this Section 4.1, Licensor, on behalf of itself and its heirs, executors, successors, assigns, agents and all other persons and entities (other than Crucible) associated with it, covenants that it will not at any time, whether now or in the future, sue, file, assist, or participate in, or cause, assert, or induce any other person or entity to sue, file, assist, or participate in any claim or allegation against any of the following for infringement of Intellectual Property Rights of any of the LMT Technology within the VPC Fields: (i) Licensee; or (ii) Licensee’s past, present and future owners, shareholders, parents, subsidiaries, successors, assigns, divisions, units, officers, directors, employees, agents, attorneys, or representatives, or (iii) Licensee or such parties’ respective past, present and future direct and indirect vendors, suppliers, manufacturers, distributors, customers, or end users (collectively, “Licensee-Related Entities”) in connection with any act by a Licensee-Related Entity at the direction of or on behalf of Licensee or related to or in connection with any Licensee-branded or Licensee-licensed product. This covenant not to sue does not inure to the benefit of any third parties for their conduct that is unrelated to Licensee. Licensor shall not be in breach of this subsection (a) if Licensor participates as a party in any litigation proceedings where any of the Intellectual Property Rights included in the LMT Technology are asserted by another party against Licensee, provided that a court of competent jurisdiction shall have ruled that Licensor’s participation as a party is necessary to such proceedings and shall have ordered Licensor to participate as a party, (b) to the extent that Licensor brings a suit or proceeding to enforce this Agreement, the Settlement Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement or any other agreement between the Parties or (c) to the extent that Licensor brings a suit or proceeding to enforce Licensor’s rights with respect to (x) any Intellectual Property Rights outside of the VPC Fields or (y) any of the items described in the definition of Intellectual Property which came into existence after the Effective Date.

4.2     Rejection or Termination. All rights and licenses granted under or pursuant to this Agreement are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”), licenses to rights to “intellectual property” as defined under the Code. The Parties agree that Licensee, as a licensee of such rights under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise all of its rights and elections under the Code. Failure by Licensee to affirmatively elect to assert its rights or retain its benefits under this Agreement pursuant to the Code in the event a Trustee or Licensor as a debtor-in-possession rejects or attempts to reject this Agreement as an executory contract shall not be construed as a termination of this Agreement by Licensee under the Code or an acceptance by Licensee of any rejection of this Agreement by a trustee or Licensor as a debtor-in-possession in a case under the Code.

4.3     Licensor Obligations. Licensor shall (a) fully perform all obligations and discharge all liabilities under any licenses, sublicenses and other agreements included in or otherwise affecting the LMT Technology (including without limitation wherever there is a reference in this Section 4.3 to agreements “affecting” the LMT Technology, all obligations under the Apple Agreement (and all instruments or agreements entered in to by Licensor pursuant to or in connection with the Apple Agreement) as and when the same are to be performed; (b) without limiting the generality of the foregoing, pay, prior to delinquency, all insurance premiums, taxes, charges, liens and assessments against the LMT Technology and all amounts that become due and payable under any trade secrets, licenses, sublicenses and other agreements included in or otherwise affecting the LMT Technology; (c) promptly upon written request of Licensee, request and provide copies of invoices or a report from the annuity paying service with respect to payments described in the preceding clause (b) and notice of any payments made pursuant to this Section 4.3, and provide copies of documents as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to confirm that Licensor has performed the obligations set forth in this Section 4.3; (d) promptly following receipt thereof, deliver copies of all notices alleging any breach or default under or asserting any adverse claim in respect of any trade secrets, licenses, sublicenses and other agreements included in or otherwise affecting the LMT Technology; and (e) upon written request from Licensee, provide Licensee with reasonably detailed reports and copies of documents as may be reasonably necessary or advisable to confirm that Licensor has performed the foregoing obligations. Licensor hereby irrevocably appoints Licensee as its true attorney in fact to perform (at Licensor’s expense) any of the following powers, which are coupled with an interest, and may be exercised from time to time by Licensee’s officers and employees, or any of them, to perform any obligations of Licensor under this Section 4.3, in Licensor’s name or otherwise, including without limitation obligations under the Apple Agreement and all instruments or agreements entered into by Licensor pursuant to or in connection with the Apple Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall have no obligation hereunder to exercise the rights granted pursuant to the preceding sentence.

Subject to the rights of Apple, Licensor shall use reasonable efforts in its business judgment to prosecute and maintain the Intellectual Property Rights included within the LMT Technology, including without limitation any patent rights. As between Licensor and Licensee, Licensor shall be solely responsible for the payment of all fees, expenses and other charges associated with the prosecution and maintenance of the Intellectual Property Rights within the LMT Technology. Licensor represents, warrants and covenants that during the three (3) month period following the Effective Date, Licensor will provide representatives of Licensee with reasonable access to Licensor’s employees, contractors, documentation and facilities in order to request and receive additional information regarding all Intellectual Property and Intellectual Property Rights within the LMT Technology. Licensor further represents, warrants and covenants that following the Effective Date, Licensor will provide representatives of Licensee with reasonable access to Licensor’s employees, contractors, documentation and facilities in order to request and receive additional information regarding the prosecution, maintenance and defense (if applicable) of patents within the LMT Technology.

6.4     Machines and Materials. Licensee shall have no obligation to use Licensor approved or designated vendors in connection with the acquisition of machines, alloys or other equipment or materials used by Licensee in exercising Licensee’s rights under this Agreement. Licensor represents and warrants that it has not entered into, and covenants that it will not enter into, any agreement, contract or other arrangement with any person or entity that precludes, restricts or inhibits (i) such person or entity from dealing with Licensee on such terms as such person or entity and Licensee may choose to agree, or (ii) Licensee from obtaining machines, alloys, or other equipment or materials that do not include technology developed by Licensor after the Effective Date. After the Effective Date, Licensor covenants and agrees not to enter into any agreement, contract or other arrangement with any person or entity that precludes, restricts or inhibits Licensee from obtaining machines, alloys or other equipment or materials that (i) do not include any technology developed by Licensor other than LMT Technology, or (ii) do include technology developed by Licensor other than LMT Technology and which such person or entity makes available to customers who are not licensees of such other technology developed by Licensor. Licensor represents and warrants that it has not entered into, and covenants that it will not enter into, any agreement, contract or other arrangement with any person or entity that directs or encourages that person or entity to discontinue manufacture or support for any machine or alloy existing as of the Effective Date or that is subsequently created but (i) does not include technology developed by Licensor other than LMT Technology or (ii) does include technology developed by Licensor other than LMT Technology but is made available by such person or entity to customers who are not licensees of such other technology developed by Licensor.

6.5     Non-Solicitation. For a period of ten (10) years from the Effective Date, neither Party nor its affiliates or subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly solicit, recruit or hire (either as an employee or as a contractor), or attempt to solicit, recruit or hire (either as an employee or as a contractor) any of the other Party’s employees or any other individuals who were individually contracted-for, or any person who was employed or engaged as an employee or such an individual who was individually contracted-for by the other Party at any time within the preceding one year period (such persons being hereinafter referred to as an “Agent”); provided, however, that this shall not prohibit a Party from advertising for open positions provided that such advertisements are not targeted solely at the Agents of the other Party. Further, for a period of ten (10) years after the Effective Date, neither Party nor its affiliates or subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly, for its own benefit or for the benefit of a third party, induce or attempt to induce any Agent of the other Party to leave such Agent’s position with the other Party, or in any other way attempt to interfere with the employment, consulting or business relationship between the other Party and any Agent of such other Party. In addition, Licensor represents, warrants, and covenants that if Licensor shall license, sublicense, sell or otherwise transfer the LMT Technology to any third party after the Effective Date of this Agreement (each such third party, a “LMT Licensee”), Licensor shall include, as a condition to any such license, sublicense, sale or transfer, a covenant that for a period of ten (10) years after the Effective Date, neither the LMT Licensee nor its affiliates or subsidiaries shall directly or indirectly solicit, recruit or hire (either as an employee or as a contractor), or attempt to solicit, recruit or hire (either as an employee or as a contractor) any of Licensee’s Agents; provided, however, that this shall not prohibit the LMT Licensee from advertising for open positions provided that such advertisements are not targeted solely at the Agents of Licensee.

Licensor shall cause Licensee to be named a third party beneficiary of such provisions under each such agreement with an LMT Licensee, with the explicit right for Licensee to enforce such restrictions directly against the LMT Licensee.

6.6     Inventions and Improvements. Licensor shall notify Licensee periodically (not less frequently than quarterly if there has been any change in information previously reported) of any patent applications, patents, copyright applications or copyright registrations that Licensor, Crucible or Apple (to the extent Apple has made Licensor aware of any patent or copyright registrations or applications), or anyone on their behalf files or obtains, that would be infringed by Intellectual Property or the use of Intellectual Property that was in existence on or prior to the Effective Date. Such notice shall include a reasonably detailed description of subject matter of any filing and a copy of any issued patent or copyright, provided that in the case of filings, Licensor shall not be required to disclose information regarding technology that Licensor develops or otherwise acquires at any time after the Effective Date. Except as set forth in the preceding sentence and subject to the license to the LMT Technology granted by Licensor to Licensee pursuant to this Agreement, as between the Parties to this Agreement, each of the Parties shall retain all rights to all technology and all associated intellectual property rights that such Party owns or otherwise has a right to use, including by way of license or sublicense from a third party, both as of the Effective Date or at any time thereafter, including without limitation any and all technology and intellectual property rights that such Party develops or otherwise acquires at any time after the Effective Date. Subject to the license to the LMT Technology granted by Licensor to Licensee pursuant to this Agreement, each of the Parties reserves all rights to all technology and all associated intellectual property rights that such Party owns or otherwise has a right to use, including by way of license or sublicense from a third party, both as of the Effective Date or at any time thereafter, including without limitation any and all technology and intellectual property rights that such Party develops or otherwise acquires at any time after the Effective Date, including without limitation the right to license such technology to third parties. Neither Party shall have any obligation to disclose, or to grant any license to, any technology conceived of after the Effective Date and therefore was not in existence on or prior to the Effective Date.

ARTICLE 7
INDEMNIFICATION

7.1     Licensor Indemnification. Licensor shall defend, indemnify and hold Licensee and its directors, officers, affiliates, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each, an “indemnified party”) harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, expense (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees), or claims for injury or damages (i) incurred by an indemnified party as a result of (A) any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by Licensor in this Agreement or in Section 11.1 of that certain Settlement Agreement and Mutual General Release between the Parties of even date herewith (the “Settlement Agreement”), or (B) any act or omission by any of Licensor or its directors, officers or employees that violates any law or constitutes tortious acts or omissions; or (ii) incurred by any indemnified party or asserted against any indemnified party by any third party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (A) the execution or delivery of this Agreement, the performance by the Parties hereto or thereto of their respective obligations hereunder or the consummation of the transactions contemplated hereby, (B) Licensee’s exercise of its rights under this Agreement, (C) any claim that the LMT Technology or the use of the LMT Technology, which for clarity shall not include any Licensee Modifications or combinations with third party technology, infringes upon or otherwise violates any rights, including, without limitation, any intellectual property rights, of any third party (provided that in the case of combinations, there is no claim that the LMT Technology or the use of the LMT Technology, in each such case when the LMT Technology is considered in and of itself and without regard to the combination, infringes upon or otherwise violates any rights), (D) any claims of product liability, defective design, warranty, false advertising, unfair trade practices or consumer protection arising out of services or products offered or provided by Licensor and (E) any claims based upon Licensor’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or applicable laws.

7.2     Licensee Indemnification. Licensee shall defend, indemnify and hold Licensor and its directors, officers, affiliates, employees, agents, successors and assigns (each, an “indemnified party”) harmless from and against any and all liability, loss, expense (including without limitation reasonable attorney’s fees), or claims for injury or damages (i) incurred by an indemnified party as a result of (A) any inaccuracy in or breach of the representations, warranties or covenants made by Licensee in this Agreement or in Section 11.1 of the Settlement Agreement, or (B) any act or omission by any of Licensee or its directors, officers or employees that violates any law or constitutes tortious acts or omissions; or (ii) incurred by any indemnified party or asserted against any indemnified party by any third party arising out of, in connection with, or as a result of (A) any claims of product liability, defective design, warranty, false advertising, unfair trade practices or consumer protection arising out of services or products offered or provided by Licensee and (B) any claims based upon Licensee’s failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement or applicable laws.

7.3     Notice of Claims. If any Party is entitled to indemnification under this Article 7 (the “indemnified party”), the indemnified party will give prompt written notice to the party responsible for providing such indemnification (the “indemnifying party”) of any matters giving rise to a claim for indemnification; provided that the failure to provide such notice shall not relieve indemnifying party of its obligations under this Article 7 except to the extent that the indemnifying party is actually prejudiced by such failure to give notice.

7.4     Procedures for Indemnification. In case any action, proceeding or claim is brought against an indemnified party in respect of which indemnification is sought hereunder, the indemnifying party shall be entitled to participate and, unless in the reasonable judgment of legal counsel to the indemnified party a conflict of interest between the indemnified party and the indemnifying party may exist with respect of such action, proceeding or claim, to assume the defense thereof with counsel reasonably satisfactory to the indemnified party. In the event that the indemnifying party fails, within thirty (30) days of receipt of any indemnification notice, to notify, in writing, such person of the indemnifying party’s election to defend, settle or compromise, at its sole cost and expense, any action, proceeding or claim (or discontinues its defense at any time after it commences such defense), then the indemnified party may, at its option, defend, settle or otherwise compromise or pay such action or claim. In any event, unless and until the indemnifying party elects in writing to assume and does so assume the defense of any such claims, proceeding or action, the indemnified party’s costs and expenses arising out of the defense, settlement or compromise of any such action, claim or proceeding shall be losses subject to indemnification hereunder. The indemnified party shall cooperate fully with the indemnifying party in connection with any negotiation or defense of any such action, claim or proceeding by the indemnifying party and shall furnish to the indemnifying party all information reasonably available to the indemnified party which relates to such action, claim or proceeding. The indemnifying party shall keep the indemnified party fully apprised at all times as to the status of the defense or any settlement negotiations with respect thereto. If the indemnifying party elects to defend any such action or claim, then the indemnified party shall be entitled to participate in such defense using counsel of its choice at its sole cost and expense. The indemnifying party shall not be liable for any settlement of any action, claim or proceeding effected without its prior written consent. Notwithstanding anything in this Article 7 to the contrary, the indemnifying party shall not, without the indemnified party’s prior written consent, settle or compromise any claim or consent to entry of any judgment in respect thereof which imposes any future obligation on the indemnified party or which does not include, as an unconditional term thereof, the giving by the claimant or the plaintiff to the indemnified party of a release from all liability in respect of such claim.

7.5     Indemnification Payments. The indemnification required by this Article 7 shall be made by periodic payments of the amount thereof during the course of investigation or defense, as and when bills are received or expenses, loss, damage or liability is incurred, so long as the indemnified party irrevocably agrees to refund such moneys if it is ultimately determined by a court of competent jurisdiction that such party was not entitled to indemnification. The indemnity agreements contained herein shall be in addition to (i) any cause of action or similar rights of the indemnified party against the indemnifying party or others, and (ii) any liabilities the indemnifying party may be subject to pursuant to the law.

ARTICLE 8
MISCELLANEOUS

8.1     Notices. All notices from one Party to the other required or permitted under this Agreement shall be in writing, shall refer specifically to this Agreement, and shall be delivered in person, or sent by electronic or facsimile transmission for which a confirmation of delivery is obtained, or sent by registered mail or express courier services providing evidence of delivery, in each case to the recipient Party’s respective address set forth on the signature page hereof (or to such updated address as may be specified in writing to the other Party from time to time). Such notices will be deemed effective as of the date so delivered.

8.2     Assignment.

8.3     Injunctive Relief. The parties each acknowledge that any breach of this Agreement by it may cause irreparable harm to the other parties or their respective affiliates and that the remedies for breach may include injunctive relief against such breach, in addition to damages and other available remedies.

8.4     Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Confidentiality Agreement and the Settlement Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the Parties relating to the subject matter hereof and supersede and cancel all other prior agreements and understandings of the Parties in connection with subject matter hereof. . The headings or titles in this Agreement are for purposes of reference only and shall not in any way affect the interpretation or construction of this Agreement.

8.5     Waiver and Amendment. No waiver of any of the provisions of this Agreement shall be valid unless in a written document, signed by the Party against whom such a waiver is sought to be enforced, nor shall failure to enforce any right hereunder constitute a continuing waiver of the same or a waiver of any other right hereunder. All amendments of this Agreement shall be made in writing and signed by the Parties, and no oral amendments shall be binding on the Parties.

8.6     Governing Law, Resolution of Disputes and Arbitration

8.7     Severability. If any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof, shall for any reason and to any extent be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement and application of such provision to other persons or circumstances shall be interpreted so as best to reasonably effect the intent of the Parties hereto. The Parties further agree to replace such void or unenforceable provision with a provision which will achieve, to the extent possible, the economic, business and other purposes of the void or unenforceable provision.

8.8     Interpretation. The Parties have each been represented by counsel in the negotiation of this Agreement and have jointly prepared this Agreement with counsels’ assistance. In the event of an ambiguity or a question of contract interpretation arises, no provision of this Agreement shall be construed based on any particular Party having drafted the Agreement or such provision. Further, neither the history of negotiations between the Parties, nor the fact that provisions of this Agreement (or portions thereof) have been inserted, deleted or modified in the course of preparing Agreement drafts, shall be used to construe the meaning of any provision.

8.9     Further Assurances. Each Party agrees to cooperate fully with the other and to execute such further instruments, documents and agreements and to give such further written assurances, as may be reasonably requested by another Party to better evidence and reflect the transactions described herein and contemplated hereby, and to carry into effect the intents and purposes of this Agreement.

8.10     Independent Contractors. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be deemed or construed as creating a joint venture or partnership between the Parties. No Party shall have the power to control the activities and operations of another, and their status is, and at all times will continue to be, that of independent contractors with respect to each other. No Party shall hold itself out as having any authority or relationship in contravention of this Section, and except as specifically called for or permitted herein, no Party shall act on behalf of another Party or enter into any contracts, warranty, or representation as to any other matter on the behalf of another Party.

IN WITNESS WHEREOF, each of the Parties has executed this Agreement as of the date first written above. Each of Parties affirms that the person signing this Agreement on such Party’s behalf is duly authorized to do so and thereby to bind the indicated entity. This Agreement may be executed simultaneously in two or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original, but all of which together shall constitute one and the same instrument.

Further Disclosure Pursuant to Section 6.1(xvii)

A.   Although LMT does not believe Section 6.1 (xvii) strictly requires this disclosure, LMT hereby informs Licensee that LMT expects to sign (either just prior to or shortly after the Effective Date) a second amendment to the Master Transaction Agreement between Apple, Inc., LMT and other parties thereto dated August 5, 2010 (the “Apple MTA”) to extend the Capture Period Extension (as defined in Amendment One to the Apple MTA dated June 15, 2012) to February 15, 2015.

B.   In December 2013, after the initiation of the arbitration between LMT and Licensee, LMT negotiated an undated, non-binding proposal with another party under which the parties agreed that if LMT were to gain the ability to grant licenses to the LMT Technology to such other party, LMT and such other party would negotiate a non-exclusive license from LMT to such other party for the LMT Technology, which license would be limited to certain non-US geographies and the automotive, motorcyle, connector and medical products fields. This proposal contemplated that the parties would work to conclude such an agreement in December 2013. No such license agreement was ever entered into. Since December 2013 there have been periodic emails from such other party inquiring as to whether LMT would be interested in engaging in negotiations for such a license. LMT has responded to these emails that LMT might be interested in such negotiations in the future, but no such negotiations are currently underway, and LMT has not determined whether it will engage in such negotiations following the Effective Date.
