License. During the Exclusivity Period, Mattson hereby grants an exclusive license to MesoCoat to purchase Vortek Lamps and incorporate them in MesoCoat Products, which license may be sublicensed to MesoCoat’s customers, but solely to the extent necessary to enable use (and not sale or distribution) by any such customer of the MesoCoat Product purchased by it; provided, however, that neither MesoCoat nor any of its customers shall have any right to manufacture a Vortek Lamp or any component thereof. Except as set forth above, MesoCoat shall not seek to develop itself or otherwise create (or have developed or otherwise created) any improvement or other derivative of a Vortek Lamp or any portion thereof at any tiem before or after the end of the Exclusivity Period. If, notwithstanding the foregoing, MesoCoat shall so develop or create any improvement or other derivative of a Vortek Lamp during the Exclusivity Period, it shall be owned exclusively by Mattson and will not be licensed for sale hereunder. During the Agreement Term, MesoCoat shall have the exclusive right to market, sell, and/or distribute Vortek Lamps in the Market, in the form incorporated in MesoCoat Products or as spare parts therefor, but not without being so incorporated (except for spare parts for Vortek Lamps previously incorporated in MesoCoat Products)). Except as set forth in this Section, Mattson grants no license hereunder to MesoCoat or any customer of MesoCoat to any know-how, trade secret, patent or copyright included in Mattson Separate Intellectual Property.

Rights upon Termination. Upon termination of the Exclusivity Period, and without limiting the generality of the other provisions of this Section, MesoCoat shall retain the non-exclusive right to purchase, market, sell, and distribute Vortek Lamps incorporated in MesoCoat Products or as spare parts therefor (but not otherwise), but shall no longer have the sole and exclusive right to market, sell, and distribute Vortek Lamps or spare parts in the Market. Notwithstanding the above Mattson agrees not to sell the custom lamphead design as configured for and funded by MesoCoat to any other party; provided, however, that MesoCoat acknowledges that this Mattson agreement only concerns the precise manner that the lamphead is configured, and not the purpose of that configuration. By way of illustration rather than limitation of the foregoing, Mattson agrees not to sell the lamphead design as configured for MesoCoat for use inside a pipe, but may sell a Vortek Lamp for use inside a pipe if configured differently, it being understood that this sentence does not grant Mattson a license or any other rights to use intellectual property of MesoCoat or any other party. MesoCoat agrees that Mattson owns and shall own all intellectual property rights in each Vortek Lamp design as configured for and funded by MesoCoat as part of the Development, it being understood that Mattson shall not acquire ownership of any MesoCoat Separate Intellectual Property.

Exclusivity Fee. For the exclusive rights that Mattson grants MesoCoat hereunder, as limited hereby, MesoCoat will pay Mattson an Exclusivity Fee of ***.
0.7
Intellectual Property. Mattson and MesoCoat agree that:
(a) Any intellectual property associated with the Vortek Lamp, created as part of the Development, and whether funded by MesoCoat or not, shall remain the property of Mattson.
(b) Intellectual property created developed or owned by either party before the commencement of the Development or concurrently with, but not as a part of the Development, will remain the sole intellectual property of that party (“Separate Intellectual Property”). The parties agree that the pipe transport system which moves the lamphead relative to the pipe, the lamp support structure which houses the lamp, and the air knife and extraction system, are Separate Intellectual Property of MesoCoat.
1.8
Publicity and Attribution. Neither party shall make any press release or other public disclosure or announcement related to the sale of the Vortek Lamps by Mattson to MesoCoat, or to the nature of the exclusivity provided by this Agreement, without the prior written approval of the other party. The parties shall not mention or graphically or otherwise portray any portion of the other party’s products in any manner on its web site or in any marketing brochures or other sales or marketing materials without the prior written approval of the other party. . Any such mention or portrayal by MesoCoat, after such approval, shall include the following language or alternative language to be approved by Matttson identifying the Vortek Lamp as Mattson’s proprietary product: “Mattson Technology, Inc. is the exclusive supplier to MesoCoat of Vortek Lamps and spare parts.”

Except for those matters resulting from the willful misconduct of Mattson, MesoCoat shall indemnify, defend and hold Mattson, its shareholders, officers, directors, affiliates, agents, employees and their respective successors and assigns harmless from and against any and all Losses incurred in connection with, arising out of, resulting from or incident to any claim that a MesoCoat Product infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights; provided, however, that MesoCoat will have no obligation for indemnification hereunder to the extent a claim is based upon the combination or use of any of the MesoCoat Product with intellectual property developed solely or licensed by Mattson, if such infringement would have been avoided in the absence of such combination or use.
