10.3.4      Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, in the event a Party translates into another language (“Translating Party”) any portion of the other Party’s Intellectual Property (“Material Owner”), the Translating Party acknowledges and agrees that ownership for such translated materials (“Translated Materials”) shall belong to the Material Owner, and accordingly, the Translating Party hereby irrevocably transfer, assigns and conveys (and agrees to transfer, assign and convey) all of the Translating Party’s right, title and interest in such Translated Materials (including copyrights therein) to the Material Owner.

10.4         Protection of Intellectual Property.

To the extent the Parties agree to register and protect Joint Development Intellectual Property in a particular jurisdiction, the Parties shall do so at their joint expense using counsel as mutually agreed.

10.4.3      In the event the Parties elect not to jointly pursue protection of any Joint Development Intellectual Property, either Party (the “Protection Electing Party”) may seek such protection in its own name and at its sole expense using counsel of its choice. As to Joint Development Intellectual Property with respect to which the Protection Electing Party elects to seek protection, the non-electing party shall assign its intellectual property rights in and to such Joint Development Intellectual Property to the Protection Electing Party and the Protection Electing Party shall grant to the non-electing party a perpetual, non-revocable, worldwide, royalty free license to use the Joint Development Intellectual Property (for the avoidance of doubt, such license shall survive the termination of this

10.5.4      If one of the Parties hereto (“Abstaining Party”) does not agree to be responsible for its full share of the costs and expenses of enforcing Joint Development Intellectual Property against a third party, then the other Party (“Acting Party”) may sue in its own name and at its sole expense and, in such case, to the extent required under applicable law, the Abstaining Party shall agree to be joined as a plaintiff for standing purposes and to cooperate as reasonably requested in such action (subject to reimbursement for reasonable costs, expenses, and attorneys’ fees attributable to such cooperation). In such event, any recovery shall inure to the Acting Party and not to the Abstaining Party, whether or not such Abstaining Party is compelled to joins as a plaintiff as provided herein.

10.6.3      The Parties shall consult as to the appropriate action to be taken with respect to any third party claims asserting that the Hybrid Solution infringes or misappropriates a third party’s Intellectual Property (a “Third Party Claim”).

The Parties shall, if they jointly elect to defend against the Third Party Claim, share equally in the costs and expenses, including attorney’s fees, incurred in connection with such defense of the Hybrid Solution (subject to Ormco’s responsibility for Ormco Products and Align’s responsibility for Align Products). Each Party shall bear only such damages as are awarded against it.

10.7         Intellectual Property Marking. The Parties shall agree in writing to all Intellectual Property markings to be applied to the Hybrid Solution and Joint Development Intellectual Property, including Copyright and Patent notices. The Parties agree that all permitted distribution and marketing of the Hybrid Solution and Joint Development Intellectual Property (and copies thereof) shall include such mutually agreed upon markings.

10.8         Confidential Information.

10.8.1      Confidential Information. During the course of this Agreement, a Party (“Receiving Party”) may be given access to information from the other Party (“Disclosing Party”) that (i) relates to the other’s past, present, and future research, development, business activities, products (including without limitation computer object and source code), services, and technical knowledge, and (ii) has been identified as confidential or reasonably deemed to be confidential information given the circumstances of disclosure (collectively, “Confidential Information”). Trade Secrets included in the Jointly Developed Intellectual Property shall be deemed the Confidential Information of both Parties under this Agreement. Notwithstanding, Confidential Information shall exclude information that the Receiving Party can demonstrate: (i) was independently developed by the Receiving Party without any use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information or by the Receiving Party’s employees or other agents (or independent contractors hired by the Receiving Party) who have not been exposed to the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information; (ii) becomes known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, from a source (other than the Disclosing Party) that had a right to disclose it without breach of

this Agreement; (iii) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or enters the public domain through no act or omission of the Receiving Party; or (iv) was rightfully known to the Receiving Party, without restriction, at the time of disclosure.

10.8.2      Confidentiality Obligation. The Receiving Party shall treat as confidential all of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information and shall not use such Confidential Information except as may be expressly permitted under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, the Receiving Party shall (i) not disclose or distribute the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information to a third party, and (ii) use at least the same degree of care which it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own confidential information of like importance, but in no event with less than reasonable care, to prevent the disclosure of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information.

10.8.3      Agreement Terms. Each Party agrees that the terms and conditions, but not the existence, of this Agreement shall be treated as the other’s Confidential Information and that no reference to the terms and conditions of this Agreement or to activities pertaining thereto may be made in any form of public or commercial advertising without the prior written consent of the other Party; provided, however, that each Party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement: (i) as required by any court or other governmental body; (ii) as otherwise required by law; (iii) to legal counsel of the Parties; (iv) in connection with the requirements of an initial public offering or securities filing; (v) in confidence, to accountants, banks, and financing sources and their advisors; (vi) in confidence, in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or rights under this Agreement; or (vii) in confidence, in connection with a merger or acquisition or proposed merger or acquisition, or the like.

Therefore, if a Receiving Party breaches any of its obligations with respect to confidentiality or use of the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information hereunder, the other Disclosing Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief to protect its interest therein, including injunctive relief, as well as money damages.

10.8.5 Required Disclosure. In the event the Receiving Party must disclose the Disclosing Party’s Confidential Information pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, to the extent permitted under applicable law, the Receiving Party shall provide prompt notice thereof to the Disclosing Party and shall use its reasonable efforts to obtain a protective order or

13.7         Dispute Resolution

13.7.1      Internal Review. In the event that a dispute, difference or question arises pertaining to any matters which are the subject of the Alliance (“Dispute”), and either Party so requests in writing, prior to the initiation of any formal legal action, the following dispute resolution shall apply:

13.7.2      The Steering Committee will use its good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute within ten (10) days. If the Steering Committee is unable to resolve the Dispute in such period, the Steering Committee will refer the Dispute to the Executive Sponsors as set forth in Section 13.7.3 below.

13.7.3      For all Disputes referred to the Executive Sponsors from the Steering Committee above, the Executive Sponsors shall use their good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute within twenty (20) days after such referral.

13.7.4      For all Disputes referred to the Chief Executive Officers from the Executive Sponsors above, the Chief Executive Officers shall use their good faith efforts to resolve the Dispute within twenty (20) days after such referral.

13.7.5      In the event of a Dispute which cannot be resolved by the Chief Executive Officers, either Party may commence a non-binding mediation to resolve the Dispute by providing written notice to the other Party (a “Mediation Notice”) informing the other Party of the dispute and the issues to be resolved and containing a list of five (5) recommended individuals to serve as the mediator. Within ten (10) business days after the receipt of a Mediation Notice, the other Party shall respond by written notice to the Party initiating mediation, providing a list of five (5) recommended individuals to serve as the mediator and which adds additional issues to be resolved. The recommended mediators shall be individuals with experience in the healthcare industry and shall not be any employee, director, shareholder or agent of either Party or an affiliate of either Party, or otherwise involved (whether by contract or otherwise) in the affairs of either Party. If, within twenty (20) business days after receipt of the Mediation Notice, the Parties shall have been unable to agree upon an individual to serve as mediator, or to the extent the mediator selected by the Parties is unable to resolve the dispute, the dispute will be settled by final and binding arbitration conducted in the manner described in subsection 13.8 below. If, within twenty (20) business days after receipt of the Mediation Notice, the Parties shall have agreed upon an individual to serve as mediator, the mediator shall conduct a mediation in an effort to

resolve the dispute, employing commercially reasonable procedures selected by the mediator in consultation with the Parties, completing such mediation no later than sixty (60) days after engagement.

13.8         Arbitration.

13.8.1      Any Dispute not timely resolved in accordance with Section 13.7 herein, shall be finally and exclusively resolved by arbitration in accordance with the then-prevailing prevailing JAMS Streamlined Arbitration Rules and Procedures, except as modified herein (the “Rules”). If the Dispute (including all claims and counterclaims) is for $15 million or less, there shall be a single arbitrator. The parties shall have ten (10) days from commencement of the arbitration in accordance with the Rules to agree on a single arbitrator. Failing timely agreement, the arbitrator shall be selected by JAMS. If the Dispute (including all claims and counterclaims) is for more than $15 million, there shall be three (3) neutral arbitrators of whom each of Buyer and Seller shall select one within twenty (20) days of the commencement of the arbitration. The two arbitrators so appointed shall select a third arbitrator to serve as chairperson within fourteen (14) days of the designation of the second of the two initial arbitrators. If any arbitrator is not timely appointed, at the request of any party such arbitrator shall be appointed by JAMS pursuant to the listing, striking and ranking procedure in the Rules. All arbitration pursuant to Section 13.8 shall be confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations, and no oral or documentary representations made by the parties during such arbitration shall be admissible for any purpose in any subsequent proceedings. The arbitral tribunal is not empowered to award damages in excess of compensatory damages, and each party hereby irrevocably waives any right to recover punitive, exemplary or similar damages with respect to any Dispute. Any arbitration proceedings, decision or award rendered hereunder and the validity, effect and interpretation of this arbitration agreement shall be governed by the Federal Arbitration Act, 9 U.S.C. §1 et seq. The award shall be final and binding upon the parties and shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the parties regarding any claims, counterclaims, issues or accounting presented to the arbitral tribunal. Judgment upon any award may be entered in any court having jurisdiction.

13.8.2      Without seeking to expand the scope of Section 13.8.1 and for purpose of clarification only, the Parties acknowledge that the restrictions of Section 13.8.1 do not apply to any claim(s) by one Party against the other for infringement of one or more claims of a patent owned or controlled by either Party. Neither Party will be precluded from seeking provisional remedies in the courts including, but not limited to, temporary restraining orders and preliminary injunctions, to protect its rights and

13.8.3      This Section 13.8 provides the sole recourse for the settlement of any dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement.

13.8.4      Any arbitration action shall be brought only in the city or county in which the corporate headquarters of the defendant to such action is located.

The parties hereto agree that no fiduciary, agency, employment, partnership, joint venture or franchise relationship is created or shall be deemed to be created hereunder. The parties agree that in performing their responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement they are in the position of independent contractors. Neither Party shall have, and neither shall represent to have, any power, right or authority to bind the other or to assume or create any obligation or responsibility, express or implied, on behalf of the other Party or in the other Party’s name, except as herein expressly permitted.

13.11       Events Excusing Performance. Neither Party shall be liable to the other Party for failure to perform any of the services required herein in the event of strikes, lock-outs, acts of God, war, terrorism, earthquakes, unavailability of supplies or other events over which that Party has no control for so long as such events continue, and for a reasonable period of time thereafter.

13.12       Entire Agreement. This Agreement (along with the Settlement Agreement, Stock Purchase Agreement and the non-disclosure letter entered into among Ormco, Danaher and Company on August 9, 2009) constitutes the entire agreement and supersedes any prior agreements or understandings between the Parties hereto regarding the subject matter hereof, and no amendment, alteration or waiver of this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless made in writing and signed by both Parties.

13.13       Interpretation. Whenever the context requires, all words used in the singular number shall be deemed to include the plural and vice versa. The use of the word “approval” or “consent” shall mean the prior written approval or prior written consent. The titles of the Sections of this Agreement are for convenience of reference only and are not to be considered in construing this Agreement.

13.17       Signatures. The signatories to this Agreement represent and warrant that they are properly authorized to execute this Agreement on behalf of the respective Party. Each Party agrees to be bound by its own telecopied or facsimiled signature, and that it accepts the telecopied or facsimiled signature of the other Party hereto.
