Buyer’s pro rata share shall be determined based upon the Buyer’s percent of the total production of the Impress Terminal Island Facility related to the Business for the twelve months preceding the date the lease for the Terminal Island Facility is terminated. Buyer shall be required to reimburse Del Monte such that neither Del Monte’s nor Buyer’s liability under this Section 2(i) shall exceed their respective pro rata share of the reimbursement to Impress and in no event shall the aggregate liability of Del Monte and Buyer exceed the total amount of costs, expenses and losses as defined in Section 4.13 actually incurred by Impress.

          (k) Intellectual Property. In the event that the relationship between Del Monte and Impress is terminated prior to the relationship between Buyer and Impress such that the exclusive license from Del Monte to Impress for the Triple Fold End Technology is terminated, Del Monte shall grant Impress a nonexclusive, royalty-free, license to the Triple Fold End Technology for the sole and exclusive purpose of producing such ends for Buyer for so long as Buyer continues to purchase such ends from Impress.
     3. Excluded Provisions. The parties agree that Sections 3.3, 4.6 and 9.3 (a) of the Supply Agreement shall not be assigned to, or assumed by Buyer (the “Deleted Sections”) and Buyer shall have no rights or obligations under the Deleted Sections with the same effect as if the Deleted Sections and all references thereto were absent from the Supply Agreement.

Impress agrees and acknowledges that Buyer’s Assigned Rights and Assumed Liabilities under the Supply Agreement shall not be affected or limited by a breach of the Supply Agreement by Del Monte or any other party thereto.
