4. PROCEDURES FOR ACCEPTANCE TESTING OF THE INITIAL SYSTEM

4.1 Acceptance Testing. Immediately upon delivery of each Deliverable, or any upgrades or updates thereto:



4.1.1 E-C shall perform sub-scale testing (the Sub-Scale Acceptance Test, or “SSAT”) and, if D-R accepts all SSAT Deliverables pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.3, then

4.1.2 The Parties shall commence joint full-scale testing (the Full-Scale Acceptance Test, or “FSAT”). After such FSAT, the Parties shall make a joint protocol describing details of testing and determining whether the Initial System has met Technical Acceptance Criteria set forth in Annex F and Specifications set forth in Annex B.

4.2 Test Reviews. Each Party shall have (i) 30 days following delivery of the SSAT Deliverables and (ii) 30 days following delivery of the FSAT Deliverables to conduct reviews (each such 30-day period a “Review Period”) to determine whether the Technical Acceptance Criteria and Specifications for the Initial System have been met. If the Party designated as the customer of any Deliverable (the “Deliverable-Customer” as set forth in the table in Annex A) does not, within 10 business days following the termination of the Review Period, provide written notice to the Party responsible for developing or preparing the Deliverable (the “Deliverable-Owner”) of its rejection of such Deliverable specifying the reason why the Deliverable was not accepted, such Deliverable shall be deemed to have been accepted by the Deliverable-Customer for purposes of this Agreement.

4.3 Rejections and Remedies. If a Deliverable-Customer rejects an SSAT or FSAT Deliverable, the Deliverable-Owner shall have 10 business days from the date of receipt of written notice of rejection, unless otherwise provided for in a Customer contractual commitment, to commence a cure of all material non-conformances described in the written notice of rejection and to deliver to the Deliverable-Customer a plan for the prompt delivery of a revised Deliverable. If rejection of, or failure to deliver, an SSAT or FSAT Deliverable results in a breach of a Customer contractual commitment, the Deliverable-Customer may declare such Deliverable rejected and terminate this Agreement. Upon receipt by the Deliverable-Customer of a revised Deliverable delivered in accordance with this Section 4.3, the provisions of Section 4.2 and this Section 4.3 shall again apply, the new Review Period running from the date of delivery of the revised version of the Deliverable. If the revised Deliverable is again rejected by the Deliverable-Customer or fails to meet Customer contractual commitments, such Party may declare the Deliverable rejected and terminate this Agreement. For avoidance of doubt, for the Initial System Project, D-R shall have the right in its sole discretion to make the decision to replace the E-C Products with Plan B.

6. GRANT OF LICENSES

6.1 Grant to D-R of License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, including timely payment in full of the Prepaid License Fee, E-C hereby grants D-R a worldwide right to market and commercialize the E-C Products to commercialize the Fundamental Process and Fundamental Process Technology Developments for gas turbine generators in the range of 1 to 4 MW per unit (the “License”). The License shall initially be an exclusive license (the “Exclusive License”) and, for the avoidance of doubt, such exclusive license is exclusive of all others, including E-C, except in connection with E-C’s performance of its obligations contemplated by this Agreement. The term and payment obligations applicable to the Exclusive License are set forth below:

6.1.1 In exchange for the payment of the Prepaid License Fee, the Exclusive License shall remain in effect for an initial term commencing upon the Core Binding Date and ending on the date that is (i) four years after the Core Binding Date, with such date to be extended by (ii) an additional number of days equal to the sum of (x) the number of days of delay, if any, in achieving the Ship to Customer Site Milestone designated for Week 62 in the Initial System Project Plan set forth in Annex A (such number of days the “Shipment Delay”), plus (y) the number of days of delay, if any, in achieving the Final Completion milestone specified in D-R’s contractual commitment to the Customer for the Initial System at the time of the Core Binding Date (such milestone “Customer Acceptance”) that exceeds the Shipment Delay, plus (z) the number of days of delay, if any, during the period from Customer Acceptance to the expiration of the warranty period specified in D-R’s contract with the Customer for the Initial System, that the Initial System is out of operation because of a failure of the Gradual Oxidizer to perform according the specifications in D-R’s contract with the Customer (the “Initial Exclusive License Term”).

16



CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

6.1.2 After the Initial Exclusive License Term, the Exclusive License shall automatically remain in effect for an additional 12-month period (an “Extended Exclusive License Term”) if, during the Initial Exclusive License Term, D-R has formally acknowledged the receipt of binding purchase orders for at * KG2-3GEF/GOs (with * KG2-3GEF/GOs being the “Extension Threshold”). KG2-3GEF/GOs for which D-R has formally acknowledged to Customers the receipt of such purchase orders are referred to herein as “Actual Units”. At the end of each Extended Exclusive License Term, the Exclusive License shall automatically remain in effect for an additional 12-month period if, during the last 12 months immediately prior to the end of the Extended Exclusive License Term just ended, Actual Units equaled or exceeded the Extension Threshold. If during the Initial Exclusive License Term or during any Extended Exclusive License Term, D-R has exceeded the applicable Threshold, then each additional unit above the applicable Threshold (the “Carry Forwards”) will be treated as having being formally acknowledged during the next Exclusive License Term for purposes of calculating whether the Threshold has been met for that subsequent Exclusive License Term or Perpetuity Window. These Carry Forwards shall continue for each Extended Exclusive License Term and Perpetuity Window such that if Carry Forwards cause the Threshold to be exceeded during any subsequent Exclusive License Term or Perpetuity Window (the “Unused Carry Forwards”), such Unused Carry Forwards shall continue to be carried forward to subsequent Exclusive License Terms and Perpetuity Windows until all Carry Forwards and Unused Carry Forwards have been utilized (collectively, “Applied Carry Forwards”).

6.1.3 If the Initial Exclusive License Term or any Extended Exclusive License Term (each, an “Exclusive License Term”) does not automatically extend because the Threshold has not been achieved, D-R will have the right, exercisable by delivery of written notice to E-C prior to the date on which such Exclusive License Term would otherwise expire, to an additional Extended Exclusive License Term if D-R pays E-C an amount equal to the Extension Fee. The “Extension Fee” shall be equal to (i) the Extension Threshold less (ii) the sum of Actual Units for the last twelve months of the Exclusive License Term then ending and Applied Carry Forwards (such sum “Actual Units Credited”), multiplied by the Per Unit Amount (with (i) less (ii) being the number of “Paid Units”, and the sum of Paid Units and Actual Units Credited being the “Total Units Credited”). The “Per Unit Amount” shall be equal to *. The Extension Fee shall be payable within 30 days after the prior Extended Exclusive License Term has ended. If D-R fails to provide such notice to E-C within the time specified the License shall, at the end of the Exclusive License Term then ended, become a nonexclusive license (the “Non-Exclusive License”). Notwithstanding anything in this Section 6.1.3 to the contrary, if prior to the fourth anniversary of the end of the Initial Exclusive License Term, D-R accumulates an aggregate of * Total Units Credited, then the Exclusive License shall thereafter remain in effect in perpetuity regardless of the number of KG2-3GEF/GOs sold thereafter and without any further payments by D-R under this Section 6.1.3, with the exception of payments due by virtue of the exercise of the Shotgun Purchase Option set forth in Section 6.10.

6.1.4 During the term of this Agreement, E-C shall keep accurate records of the costs incurred, including standard overhead charges applied, in delivering E-C Products for each KG2-3GEF/GO produced and sold under this Agreement, in such amounts as are reflected on its financial statements. If it appears to either Party during any Exclusive License Term that the Extension Threshold will not be met, such Party shall immediately notify the other Party. In such event the Parties shall, no later than 45 days prior to the end of that Exclusive License Term, meet to exchange information regarding E-C Product costs incurred with respect to each Actual Unit fully commissioned by D-R and accepted by the Customer (“Actual Units Commissioned”) during the Exclusive License Term. The “Average SVM” for an Exclusive License Term or any Perpetuity Window shall be equal to (x) the difference of the (i) sum of all Sales Prices less (ii) sums of E-C’s direct material costs, direct labor costs, engineering/drafting costs, Variable Overhead expenses, warranty expenses, commission expenses and freight/duties expenses corresponding to respective Actual Units Commissioned, divided by (y) the number of Actual Units Commissioned, for all Actual Units Commissioned. If no Actual Units Commissioned occurred from which the Parties may derive an Average SVM during the Exclusive License Term or Perpetuity Window, the default value for determining the Per Unit Amount will be equal to *. If no Actual Units Commissioned occurred in the Exclusive License Term or Perpetuity Window immediately preceding the current Extended Exclusive License Term or Perpetuity Window, but Actual Units Commissioned have occurred in prior Exclusive License Terms or Perpetuity Windows, the Parties shall use Average SVM based upon most recent prior Exclusive License Term or Perpetuity Window in which Actual Units Commissioned occurred, adjusted for changes in the Consumer Price Index for all Urban Consumers, as publicized by the United States Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statistics, between the dates of such base line bookings and the most recent month for which the Consumer Price Index is available. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the first D-R Purchase Order for non-recuperated oxidizers, not to exceed * in total, as well as the first D-R Purchase Order for recuperated oxidizers, not to exceed * in total, shall be excluded from all calculations of Average SVM.

6.2 Expanded License Grant to D-R. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, as long as the License remains Exclusive under the terms of Section 6.1 hereof, E-C hereby grants D-R a non-exclusive, worldwide right to commercialize the Fundamental Process for projects larger than 4 MW that are comprised of the KG2-3GEF/GO in multiple power blocks with E-C supplying the Gradual Oxidizer (the “Expanded License”) for which D-R shall not be obligated to pay any additional license fees. Notwithstanding the foregoing, E-C shall immediately notify D-R in the event that E-C grants to a third party an exclusive license to commercialize the Fundamental Process for gas turbine generators larger than 4 MW per unit, which notice shall specify the effective date of such third party license. The Expanded License shall terminate immediately upon the effective date of such third party license.

6.3 Fundamental Process Technology Developments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, D-R hereby irrevocably assigns to E-C all rights in and to any Fundamental Process Technology Developments developed during the Term of this Agreement and E-C hereby grants to D-R a non-terminable, perpetual, exclusive, irrevocable and royalty-free license of such Fundamental Process Technology Developments to make, have made, use and impart products, processes and/or services in connection with or related to 1-4MW gas turbines (“FPTD License”). Notwithstanding the foregoing, should the Exclusive License become a Non-Exclusive License pursuant to Section 6.1.3, the FPTD License would become non-exclusive. For avoidance of doubt, the FPTD License pertains to gas turbines in the 1-4MW range only.

6.4 Gas Turbine Technology Developments. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, E-C hereby irrevocably assigns to D-R all rights in and to any Gas Turbine Technology Developments developed during the Term of this Agreement and D-R hereby grants to E-C a non-terminable, perpetual, non-exclusive, irrevocable and royalty-free license of such Gas Turbine Technology Developments to make, have made, use, and impart products, processes and/or services in connection with or related to 1-4MW gas turbines.

6.5 Joint Inventions. The Parties agree that D-R and E-C shall jointly own any Joint Inventions developed during the Term of this Agreement. Each Party shall have unrestricted rights to use such Joint Inventions during the Term of this Agreement and perpetually thereafter, without accounting to the other Party.

6.6 Sublicense Rights. Other than as expressly provided herein, the licenses granted under Sections 6.1 through 6.5 include the right to grant sublicenses.

6.7 Background Intellectual Property. E-C shall have the right to use D-R Background Intellectual Property and D-R shall have the right to use E-C Background Intellectual Property, in each case, only as is necessary to perform such Party’s obligations and exercise such Party’s rights under this Agreement.

6.8 Negative Pledge. E-C shall not, during the Initial Exclusive License Term, without the prior written consent of D-R, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or conditioned, allow the creation of any encumbrance, lien or pledge of the E-C Intellectual Property.

6.9 Cooperation. Each Party shall take all reasonable actions necessary to evidence, protect, or convey the ownership rights set forth in this Section 6, including but not limited to the acquisition of assignments of any and all Intellectual Property rights from any contractors, subcontractors, employees or any other entity providing services to one or both Parties that results in the development of Intellectual Property rights to be conveyed hereunder. All conveyances shall be free and clear of any claims, liens, security interests or other encumbrances or interests by the transferring Party and any third parties claiming through such Party.

6.10 E-C Exclusivity License Shotgun Purchase Option.

6.10.1 Shotgun Purchase Option. Following an Underperforming Perpetuity Window, E-C shall have the right, but not the obligation, to offer to purchase the exclusivity provision of the License from D-R upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 6.10 (such right, E-C’s “Shotgun Purchase Option”, and such offer, the “Shotgun Purchase Offer”) at a purchase price of E-C’s choosing, provided that it is payable at closing in cash (the “Purchase Price”). In such case, D-R shall have the option to:

6.10.1.1 Accept the Shotgun Purchase Offer, in which case the License shall become a Non-Exclusive License, or

6.10.1.2 Reject it and instead pay E-C an amount equal to (i) the Perpetuity Threshold less the sum of (x) Actual Units during the Underperforming Perpetuity Window then ending and (y) Applied Carried Forwards carried forward into the Underperforming Perpetuity Window, multiplied by (ii) the lower of (x) * and (y) the * (such amount the “Perpetuity Buyout Price”), to eliminate E-C’s right to exercise E-C’s Shotgun Purchase Option at any time in the future (“Perpetuity Buyout Option”).

6.10.2 Exercise of Shotgun Purchase Option; Closing. In order to exercise the Shotgun Purchase Option, E-C must give written notice (E-C’s “Election Notice”) to D-R of such election, including the Purchase Price, within 90 days following the Underperforming Perpetuity Window. In the event of the exercise of the Shotgun Purchase Option, D-R shall have 90 days following receipt of the Election Notice by D-R to notify E-C of its decision of whether to accept or reject the Shotgun Purchase Offer pursuant to Section 6.10.1 (D-R’s “Shotgun Purchase Offer Response”).

7. OWNERSHIP AND PROTECTION OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

7.1 Ownership. For the avoidance of doubt, all Intellectual Property rights that are owned by a Party as of the Effective Date shall remain the sole property of that Party, subject to the licenses expressly set forth in this Agreement, and no other rights are granted hereunder by implication, by estoppel, or otherwise.



7.2 Protection of Joint Inventions. The Parties will adopt and include in the Initial System Project Plan measures and procedures to safeguard the value of the Joint Inventions. The Parties may issue instructions to guide the handling of the Joint Inventions constituting trade secrets. In any event, each Party will be obligated to treat the Joint Inventions in accordance with the same degree of care such Party uses to protect its own trade secrets, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care.

7.3 Prosecution and Maintenance. Each Party shall have the sole right to file, prosecute, maintain, register, or otherwise secure protection for all Intellectual Property solely owned by such Party, in its discretion and at its sole cost and expense using agents, attorneys and others selected by such Party.

7.4 Enforcement.

7.4.1 Except as otherwise provided herein, each Party shall have the sole right to enforce or otherwise prevent violations of all Intellectual Property solely owned by such Party, in its discretion and at its sole cost and expense using agents, attorneys and others selected by such Party. If either Party believes that any E-C Patent included in the Fundamental Process is being infringed or is being misused by a third party, such Party will promptly notify the other Party of such infringement or misuse. If, within sixty (60) days from the date such notice is received, the Parties agree that action is warranted, the Parties will cooperate in the filing and maintenance of a claim, demand, investigation, suit or other proceeding (an “Action”), as appropriate, regarding such infringement or misuse. Each of the Parties will bear its own internal costs and expenses in connection with the filing and prosecution of such Action, and out-of-pocket fees and expenses will be borne equally by the Parties. With respect to any monetary damages, profits, awards and royalties (“Recovery”) obtained by the Parties in connection with such Action, such Recovery will be allocated to the Parties as follows: firstly, out-of-pocket fees and expenses will be reimbursed to each Party, and then secondly, E-C will receive the remainder of the Recovery.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

7.4.2 If either Party declines to participate in, or the Parties are unable to agree on, the filing of an Action within the sixty (60) day period set forth in Section 7.4.1, then the other Party (the “Participating Party”) may proceed in its sole discretion and at its sole expense to file and prosecute such Action for infringement or misuse in its own name or, if required by law, jointly with the other Party and in such event the Participating Party is hereby authorized to take action in the name of the other Party as well; provided however, that if the Participating Party takes action in the name of the other Party, the Participating Party will indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from and against any and all monetary damages, fines, fees, penalties, obligations, deficiencies, losses and out-of-pocket expenses that the other Party incurs or is subject to directly as a result of such Action. The Participating Party will receive for its sole benefit any damages, profits, awards and royalties recoverable for such infringement or misuse as the result of such Action.

7.4.3 If both Parties initially agree to jointly bring any Action, either Party may elect at any time to settle or withdraw for any reason from the proceedings related to such Action; provided, however, the settling Party will not as part of any settlement grant a license in the E-C Patent that renders the Action moot without the consent of the other Party. Going forward, the continuing Party will bear all of the fees and expenses incurred for such Action and may proceed in its sole discretion to prosecute, settle (including, but not limited to, licenses granted in connection therewith) or discontinue prosecution of such Action. Any damages, profits, awards and royalties recovered or to be recovered for such Action will be apportioned between the Parties in direct proportion to the ratio of each Party’s out-of-pocket fees and expenses compared to the total out-of-pocket fees and expenses of both Parties and taking into account any benefits recovered by the non-continuing Party as the result of any settlement.

8. MARKETING

8.1 Marketing Program. Except as otherwise expressly provided herein, D-R shall be solely responsible for marketing, commercialization, launch, sales, installation and aftermarket parts for KG2-3GEF/GOs, and D-R will use commercially reasonable efforts to do so throughout the Term. E-C may, in its discretion, also actively market and generate sales leads for the KG2-3GEF/GOs. Each Party shall be solely responsible for compensating its own sales representatives and distributors for their sales efforts in accordance with their own internal policies and out of their own funds. To the extent that D-R publicly discloses any information about any KG2-3GEF/GO provided to any Customer of D-R, such as through a press release, Internet web site, technical briefing/paper, marketing literature or brochures, or other channel, E-C may publicly disclose its participation in connection with such KG2-3GEF/GOs, including the fact that the KG2-3GEF/GO includes a Gradual Oxidizer manufactured by E-C.



8.2 Customer Referrals. Each Party shall bring to the other Party any sales leads it becomes aware of for the KG2-3GEF/GO. In the event that a Party encounters an opportunity to refer a potential customer to the other Party (regardless of whether such opportunity involves a KG2-3GEF/GO), such recommendation shall be given. Neither Party will be obligated to actively pursue and develop business for the other Party.

8.3 Publicity. Neither Party will release any promotional materials concerning this Agreement or the collaboration between the Parties unless and until the other Party has provided written approval of such materials. E-C may affix its logo to any KG2-3GEF/GO, or D-R’s name or logo on any communication related to D-R, subject to prior approval of D-R, which shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. It is understood that both D-R and E-C retain all rights in their individual trademarks or logos. The use of any joint letterhead or other material with joint logos affixed to any Work Product will not affect the Intellectual Property ownership as described in this Agreement. This Agreement does not create any license in either Party to use the trademarks, service marks, or trade names of the other Party. In the event either Party desires to use such marks in connection with this Agreement, the Parties shall negotiate a separate agreement.

9. PROVISION OF GRADUAL OXIDIZERS

9.1 Supply Arrangement. In the event D-R accepts SSAT Deliverables pursuant to Sections 4.2 and 4.3 of this Agreement, then D-R will purchase from E-C, and E-C will sell to D-R, E-C Products for inclusion in KG2-3GEF/GO. Unless otherwise agreed in writing between D-R and E-C, D-R 195 Terms of Purchase shall be used as the guide for preferred terms and conditions on all purchase orders between D-R and E-C for the supply of E-C Products. D-R shall issue a request for quote (“Quote”) to E-C for each KG2-3GEF/GO opportunity that D-R intends to quote to the customer. Based on the Quote received, D-R may issue purchase orders (“D-R Purchase Orders”) detailing the quantity and delivery specifications for E-C Products with a lead-time to be negotiated between the Parties or set forth in a contractual commitment with a Customer, but otherwise complying the D-R Purchase Order for which E-C has issued an official order acknowledgement. Unless otherwise provided herein, within five (5) business days of receipt of a D-R Purchase Order, E-C will issue a written acknowledgment (electronically or by facsimile) to D-R; provided, however, that if E-C has good-faith questions concerning the details of the D-R Purchase Order, the acknowledgment will be sent within three (3) business days after such questions have been resolved. If E-C does not notify D-R with questions regarding the D-R Purchase Order or does not acknowledge the D-R Purchase Order, E-C will be considered to have accepted the D-R Purchase Order.

9.2 Funding Schedule for Initial Order of E-C Products. The E-C Products to be included in the Initial System shall be funded according to the schedule that will be contained in the D-R Purchase Order issued to and accepted by E-C. If D-R delays any scheduled payment under the Funding Schedule for Initial Order of E-C Products for more than ten business days, E-C shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement following a cure period of five additional business days, and D-R shall promptly pay to E-C an amount in cash equal to E-C’s financial contribution to date (both in cash and labor) to this Agreement.

9.3 Adjustments to Supplier Arrangement. It is the intent of the Parties to negotiate in good faith a worldwide right for D-R to manufacture E-C Hardware for KG2-3GEF/GO. The Parties intend to negotiate in good faith in order to enter into a Manufacturing License Agreement within 6 months of the Effective Date that (a) would permit D-R to manufacture E-C Hardware for KG2-3GEF/GOs and (b) provide D-R with copies of and use of all E-C Background Intellectual Property, Fundamental Process Technology Developments and Joint Inventions to the extent necessary to perform such manufacturing. The Parties acknowledge that any E-C Hardware manufactured and sold pursuant to the Manufacturing License Agreement would be treated as if it were purchased by D-R from E-C hereunder for purposes of determining whether any Threshold has been met.

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

9.4 D-R Proposals. All D-R proposals to purchase E-C Products shall be subject to change at any time prior to D-R’s acceptance of a Customer purchase order that includes such E-C Products and shall expire at the end of the validity period stipulated in such proposal. If no such period is stipulated in a proposal, then the proposal shall expire sixty (60) days from the date of issuance.

9.5 Discontinuation of Gradual Oxidizer. Until the Parties can execute a Manufacturing License Agreement, in the event that E-C, directly or through one or more contract manufacturers, licensees or successors in interest, ceases to develop, manufacture or supply the Gradual Oxidizer technology, D-R shall have the right to acquire, subject to the Parties reaching mutually agreeable terms, a perpetual non-exclusive license (the “D-R Perpetual Manufacturing License”) to (a) manufacture E-C Hardware and (b) to acquire copies of and use all E-C Background Intellectual Property, Process Technology Developments and Joint Inventions to the extent necessary to perform such manufacturing. If the Exclusive License has previously become a perpetual license pursuant to Section 6.1.3, D-R shall not be required to make any additional payments for the D-R Perpetual Manufacturing License. If the Exclusive License has not previously become perpetual, D-R may acquire the D-R Perpetual Manufacturing License by making a payment to E-C in cash equal to (a) the difference between the number of Total Units Credited and *, multiplied by (b) the Per Unit Amount.

9.6 Discontinuation of D-R Target Gas Turbine. In the event that D-R, directly or through one or more contract manufacturers, licensees or successors in interest ceases to develop, manufacture or supply D-R Target Gas Turbines, at D-R’s option (1) E-C shall have the right to acquire, subject to the Parties reaching mutually agreeable terms, a non-exclusive perpetual license (the “E-C Perpetual Manufacturing License”) to (a) manufacture D-R Hardware and (b) to acquire copies of and use all D-R Background Intellectual Property, Gas Turbine Technology Developments and Joint Inventions to the extent necessary to perform such manufacturing or (2) D-R will manufacture a similarly suited gas turbine or turbines for the 1-4MW range that, subject to the Parties reaching mutually agreeable terms (including terms addressing appropriate cost sharing), will be integrated with E-C’s gradual oxidizer in substitution for the D-R Target Gas Turbine. EC shall not be required to make any additional payments for the E-C Perpetual Manufacturing License.

10. TERM AND TERMINATION

18. MISCELLANEOUS

18.1 Force Majeure. Either Party shall be excused from delays in performing or from its failure to perform hereunder to the extent that such delays or failures result from causes beyond the reasonable control of such Party; provided that, in order to be excused from delay or failure to perform, such Party must act diligently to remedy the cause of such delay or failure. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if either Party’s performance is delayed by more than ninety (90) calendar days for any reason, the other Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without any further liability to the non-performing Party, except for fulfillment of obligations previously incurred under this Agreement (e.g., outstanding purchase orders, shipments and payment of invoices).

18.2 Construction. Unless the context requires otherwise: (a) the gender (or lack of gender) of all words used in this Agreement includes the masculine, feminine, and neuter; (b) the term “include” or “includes” means “includes, without limitation,” and “including” means “including, without limitation”; (c) references to laws refer to such laws as they may be amended from time to time, and references to particular provisions of a law include any corresponding provisions of any succeeding law; and (d) references to money or $ refer to legal currency of the United States of America.

18.3 Specific Performance. Each Party acknowledges and agrees that a breach of Section 7.2 and Section 15 of this Agreement would cause irreparable damage to the other Party and that the non-breaching Party will not have an adequate remedy at law. Therefore, the obligations of E-C and D-R under this Agreement in Sections 7.2 and Section 15 shall be enforceable by a decree of specific performance issued by any court of competent jurisdiction, and appropriate injunctive relief may be applied for and granted in connection therewith. Such remedies shall, however, be cumulative and not exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which any Party may have under this Agreement or otherwise.

18.4 Multiple Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in two counterparts, both of which taken together shall constitute one single Agreement between the Parties.

18.5 Section and Schedule Headings. The section and subsection headings used herein are for reference and convenience only, and shall not enter into the interpretation hereof. The schedules referred to herein and attached hereto, or to be attached hereto, are incorporated herein to the same extent as if set forth in full herein.

18.6 Required Approvals. Where agreement, approval, acceptance, or consent by either Party is required by any provision of this Agreement, such action shall not be unreasonably delayed, conditioned or withheld.

18.7 No Waiver. No delay or omission by either Party hereto to exercise any right or power arising upon any noncompliance or default by the other Party with respect to any of the terms of this Agreement shall impair any such right or power or be construed to be a waiver thereof. A waiver by either of the Parties hereto of any of the covenants, conditions, or agreements to be performed by the other shall not be construed to be a waiver of any succeeding breach thereof or of any other covenant, condition, or agreement herein contained. Unless stated otherwise, all remedies provided for in this Agreement shall be cumulative and in addition to and not in lieu of any other remedies available to either Party at law, in equity, or otherwise.

18.8 Governing Law. This Agreement and the License shall be construed as to both validity and performance and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without giving reference to its principles of conflicts of law.

18.9 Entire Agreement; Amendment. Other than the currently existing Original Equipment Packaging Agreement between D-R and E-C (FKA Flex Power Generation, Inc.), which shall remain in full force and effect, this Agreement and the Schedules annexed hereto constitute the entire agreement between the Parties and specifically supersede all previous agreements, oral or written, regarding the subject matter hereof. No amendment, waiver, or discharge hereof shall be valid unless it is executed by the Party against whom such amendment, waiver, or discharge is sought to be enforced.

18.10 Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced by any law or public policy, all other terms or provisions of this Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal substance of the transactions contemplated hereby is not affected in any manner materially adverse to any Party. Upon such determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal, or incapable of being enforced, the Parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to effect the original intent of the Parties as closely as possible in an acceptable manner in order that the transactions contemplated hereby are consummated as originally contemplated to the greatest extent possible.

18.12 Binding Effect; Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns. Except as provided herein, neither Party shall assign or delegate this Agreement in whole or in part, or any of the licenses, rights, covenants, or duties under this Agreement, by agreement, merger, reorganization, sale of assets, operation of law or otherwise, including in connection with the insolvency or bankruptcy of the Party, without the prior written consent of the other Party.

18.13 Bankruptcy. The Parties acknowledge and agree that the E-C Intellectual Property is “intellectual property” as defined in Section 101(35A) of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the “Code”), as the same may be amended from time to time, that has been licensed hereunder in a contemporaneous exchange for value. E-C acknowledges that if E-C, as a debtor in possession or a trustee in bankruptcy in a case under the Code, rejects this Agreement, D-R may elect to retain its rights under this Agreement as provided in Section 365(n) of the Code. Upon written request from D-R to E-C or the bankruptcy trustee of E-C’s election to proceed under section 365(n), E-C or the bankruptcy trustee shall comply in all respects with 365(n), including, without limitation, by not interfering with the rights of D-R as provided by this Agreement.

18.15 Dispute Resolution.

18.15.1 In the event of any continuing dispute between the Parties relating to this Agreement which has not been resolved after reasonable attempts by either Party to do so, including without limitation any continuing dispute relating to the interpretation of any provision of this Agreement, the performance or non-performance by either Party hereunder, or the amount of any disputed consideration arising hereunder, then, upon the written request of either Party, each of the Parties will appoint a designated executive management representative, whose task it will be to meet for the purpose of endeavoring to resolve such dispute. The designated representatives shall meet as often as the Parties reasonably deem necessary in order to gather and furnish to the other all information with respect to the matter in issue which the Parties believe to be appropriate and germane in connection with its resolution. Such representatives shall discuss the problem and negotiate in good faith in an effort to resolve the dispute without the necessity of any formal proceeding relating thereto. During the course of such negotiation, all reasonable requests made by one Party to the other for information will be honored in order that each of the Parties may be fully advised in the premises of the dispute. The specific format for such discussions will be left to the discretion of the designated representatives but may include the preparation of agreed upon statements of fact or written statements of position furnished to the other Party. Formal proceedings for the resolution of such dispute pursuant to Section 18.15.2 hereof may not be commenced until the earlier to occur of (i) the designated representatives concluding in good faith that amicable resolution through continued negotiation of the matter in issue does not appear likely, or (ii) thirty (30) days after the initial request to negotiate such dispute. The Parties hereby waive the expiration of any applicable statute of limitations during such thirty (30) day period and for the thirty (30) days next following. Except where clearly prevented by the area in dispute, both Parties agree to continue performing their respective obligations under this Agreement while the dispute is being resolved unless and until this Agreement expires or is terminated. The provisions of this Section 18.15.1 shall not apply to any actions of the Parties for equitable relief.

18.15.2 Arbitration of Disputes. Any claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement, or the breach thereof, including any anticipated breach or disagreement as to interpretation of this Agreement, which is not resolved pursuant to Section 18.15.1 hereof, shall be settled by arbitration as follows:

(a) No arbitration governed by this Section 18.15.2 may be commenced until thirty (30) days after the Party wishing to commence an arbitration proceeding shall have given the other Party written notice describing the dispute to be arbitrated. During that thirty (30) days the Parties shall attempt to resolve the dispute amicably by negotiation. A written request by either Party to resolve a dispute pursuant to Section 18.15.1 hereof shall constitute notice of a dispute for purposes of this Section 18.15.2 (a).

(b)
Except as provided below and to the extent the Parties may otherwise agree in writing, any arbitration under this Section 18.15.2 (the “Arbitration”) shall be conducted in accordance with the rules of the American Arbitration Association (the “AAA Rules”) by three arbitrators, none of whom shall be a current or former officer, Manager, or employee of any Party hereto or its Affiliates, selected as provided in the AAA Rules.

(c) The Arbitration shall be governed by the United States Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. § 1 et seq., and judgment upon the award rendered by the arbitrators may be entered by any court of competent jurisdiction.

(d) The Arbitration shall take place in New York, New York. The arbitrators may hold individual hearings at any location they deem appropriate.

(e) The arbitrators shall hold a pre-hearing conference as promptly as possible after the selection of the arbitrators and shall hold the first hearing within thirty (30) days after the selection of the arbitrators. If additional hearings are needed, they shall be held as promptly as possible thereafter, so that all hearings that may be required are concluded within ninety (90) days after the selection of the arbitrators. The arbitrators shall render their award within thirty (30) days after the last hearing.

34

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

(f) The Parties may by written notice to each other and the arbitrators freely specify further controversies or claims to be arbitrated up until the date of the pre-hearing conference. Thereafter, additional controversies or claims may be added only with the consent of the arbitrators.

(g) The arbitrators may make interim awards and may award equitable and declaratory relief.

(h) The costs and expenses of the Arbitration (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) shall be borne equally between the Parties.

(j) The arbitrators shall not consider, nor shall any award include amounts for, punitive, exemplary, or consequential damages.

(j) It shall not be inconsistent with this Section 18.15.2 for either Party to seek from any court of competent jurisdiction interim relief in aid of arbitration or to protect the rights of either Party pending the establishment of the arbitral tribunal.

18.16 Export Control. If either Party determines that any information, technology or data that is to be transferred, shared or contributed (collectively a “Transfer”) pursuant to this Agreement is subject to export control restrictions under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, the International Traffic in Arms Regulations or any other U.S. law or regulation, such Party may withhold such information, technology or data from Transfer without being in violation of this Agreement. In the event of such restrictions, transferring-Party will take reasonable steps to obtain an export license to permit the Transfer, so long as such Transfer would not violate any transferring-Party policy.

18.17 FCPA.

18.17.1    Each Party warrants that it and its Affiliates have not made, offered, or authorized and will not make, offer, or authorize with respect to the matters which are the subject of this Agreement, any payment, gift, promise or other advantage, whether directly or through any other person or entity, to or for the use or benefit of any public official (i.e., any person holding a legislative, administrative or judicial office, including any person employed by or acting on behalf of a public agency, a public enterprise or a public international organization) or any political party or political party official or candidate for office, where such payment, gift, promise or advantage would violate the applicable laws of the United States of America or of any other country in which the Parties are together in business. Each Party shall defend, indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from and against any and all claims, damages, losses, penalties, costs and expenses arising from or related to, any breach by such first Party of such warranty. Such indemnity obligation shall survive termination or expiration of this Agreement. Each Party shall in good time (i) respond in reasonable detail to any notice from any other Party reasonably connected with the above-stated warranty; and (ii) furnish applicable documentary support for such response upon request from such other Party.

35

CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED

18.17.2    Each Party agrees to (i) maintain adequate internal controls; (ii) properly record and report all transactions; and (iii) comply with the laws referred to in Section 18.17.1 above. Each Party must rely on the other Party’s system of internal controls and on the adequacy of full disclosure of the facts, and of financial and other data provided under this Agreement. No Party is in any way authorized to take any action on behalf of the other Party that would result in an inadequate or inaccurate recording and reporting of assets, liabilities or any other transaction, or which would put such Party in violation of its obligations under the laws applicable to this Agreement. Each Party, at its own expense and upon providing reasonable notice to the other Party, shall have the right to audit the books and records of the other Party to the extent necessary to verify compliance with the provisions of this Section.

18.17.3    In the event of a breach of this Section of the Agreement, the non-breaching Party may terminate this Agreement immediately without any further liability or obligation.

18.18 Non-Solicitation. During the term of this Agreement, and upon termination of this Agreement for any reason (including the expiration of the term hereof or any extension thereof) then for the period of twelve (12) months after such termination, neither Party shall directly or indirectly, solicit or attempt to employ, any employees of the other Party, except as mutually agreed by the Parties.

18.19 Time is of the Essence. Time shall be of the essence with respect to all time periods and notice periods set forth in this Agreement.
