  6.1.2   the Owner ceases to carry on business; or
 
  6.1.3   the Owner assigns its rights in the Intellectual Property Rights in the Material and the assignee fails within 60 days of such assignment to offer the Licensee substantially similar protection to that provided by this Agreement without significantly increasing the cost to the Licensee; or
 
  6.1.4   the Owner is in material breach of its obligations as to maintenance or modification of the Package under the Licence Agreement or any maintenance agreement entered into in connection with the Package and has failed to remedy such default notified by the Licensee to the Owner within a reasonable period.

  6.3   Upon receipt of a Declaration from the Licensee claiming a Release Event under clause 6.1:
  6.3.1   NCC Escrow shall submit a copy of the Declaration to the Owner by courier or equivalent type of post; and

      NCC Escrow will release the Material to the Licensee.
 
  6.4   Upon receipt of the counter-notice from the Owner under clause 6.3.2, NCC Escrow shall send a copy of the counter-notice and any supporting evidence to the Licensee.
 
  6.5   In the event of any dispute as to the occurrence of any of the Release Events or disputes under clause 12.5, NCC Escrow shall notify the Owner and the Licensee of the dispute and such dispute will then be referred by NCC Escrow to the Managing Director for the time being of NCC Escrow to appoint an Independent Expert or if either the Owner or the Licensee so requests apply to The Law Society or The Bar Council (or successor bodies) for the appointment of an Independent Expert on behalf of the Owner and the Licensee.
 
  6.6   Within 5 working days of the appointment of the Independent Expert, the Owner and the Licensee shall each provide full written submissions to the Independent Expert together with all relevant documentary evidence in their possession in support of their claim, whereupon the Independent Expert shall give a decision on the matter within 14 working days of the date of referral or as soon as practicable thereafter and shall send that decision to the parties and NCC Escrow. The Independent Expert’s decision shall be final and binding on all parties to this Agreement and shall not be subject to appeal to a court in legal proceedings except in the case of manifest error.
 
  6.7   If the Independent Expert’s decision is in favour of the Licensee, NCC Escrow is hereby authorised to release and deliver the Material to the Licensee within 7 working days of the decision being declared by the Independent Expert to the parties.
 
  6.8   The parties hereby agree that the reasonable costs and expenses of the Independent Expert shall be borne by the Owner (or its agent or any party acting on its behalf) where the Independent Expert decides that the relevant Release Event(s) has occurred, or the Licensee where the Independent Expert decides that the relevant Release Event(s) has not occurred.

  6.9   Subject to clause 6.2 above for the avoidance of doubt, where clause 6.1.1 or 6.1.2 Release Events have been triggered, a subsequent remedy by the Owner will not invalidate the Licensee’s right to apply to NCC Escrow for release of the Material unless the Licensee waives its right in writing within one month from the date of knowledge of a Release Event.
7   Confidentiality
  7.1   The Material shall remain the confidential property of the Owner and in the event that NCC Escrow provides the Material to the Licensee, the Licensee shall be permitted to use the Material only in accordance with clause 3.2.
 
  7.2   NCC Escrow agrees to keep all Confidential Information relating to the Material and/or the Package that comes into its possession or to its knowledge under this Agreement in strictest confidence and secrecy.

8   Intellectual Property Rights
  8.1   The release of the Material to the Licensee will not act as an assignment of any Intellectual Property Rights that the Owner or any third party possesses in the Material.
 
  8.2   The Intellectual Property Rights in the Integrity Testing report and any Full Verification report shall remain vested in NCC Escrow. The Owner and the Licensee shall each be granted a non-exclusive non-transferable right and licence to use such report for the purposes of this Agreement and their own internal purposes only.

  9.2   Upon the Material being lodged with NCC Escrow, NCC Escrow shall apply its Integrity Testing to the Material.
 
  9.3   Any party to this Agreement shall be entitled to require NCC Escrow to carry out a Full Verification.

  9.4   Should the Material deposited fail to satisfy NCC Escrow’s Integrity Testing or Full Verification tests under clauses 9.2 or 9.3, the Owner shall within 14 days of the receipt of the notice of test failure from NCC Escrow, deposit such new, corrected or revised Material as shall be necessary to ensure its compliance with its warranties and obligations in clause 2. If the Owner fails to make such deposit of the new, corrected or revised Material, NCC Escrow will issue a report to the Licensee detailing the problem with the Material as revealed by the relevant tests.
10   NCC Escrow’s Liability
  10.1   Nothing in this clause 10 excludes or limits the liability of NCC Escrow for fraudulent misrepresentation or for death or personal injury caused by NCC Escrow’s negligence.

  10.1.2   NCC Escrow shall not be liable to the Owner and/or the Licensee for any indirect or consequential loss or damage whether for loss of profit, loss of business, depletion of goodwill or otherwise whatsoever or howsoever caused which arise out of or in connection with this Agreement even if such loss was reasonably foreseeable or NCC Escrow had been advised of the possibility of incurring the same by the Owner, the Licensee or any third party.
  10.2   NCC Escrow shall be protected in acting upon any written request, waiver, consent, receipt, statutory declaration or any other document furnished to its pursuant to and in accordance with this Agreement, not only in assuming the authority of the person furnishing such document, its authenticity, due execution and validity and effectiveness of its provisions but also as to the truth of any information contained in it which NCC Escrow in good faith believes to be genuine and what it purports to be.

Any disputes arising under this clause shall be dealt with in accordance with clauses 6.5 to 6.8.
 
  12.6   Without prejudice to any other provisions herein, NCC Escrow shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon 30 days notice to the Licensee and the Owner in the event that a Release Event has occurred but the Licensee has failed to apply for release of the Material under clause 6. The Licensee shall have the option of applying for release under clause 6 during this notice period, but if it fails to do so, upon the expiry of this notice period NCC Escrow shall return the Material to the Owner or destroy the Material if NCC Escrow is unable to trace the Owner.
 
  12.7   Subject to clause 12.5, the Owner may only terminate this Agreement with the written consent of the Licensee.
 
  12.8   This Agreement shall terminate upon release of the Material to the Licensee in accordance with clause 6.
 
  12.9   Upon termination under the provisions of clauses 12.1, 12.3, 12.5, 12.7 or 12.10, for 30 days from the date of termination NCC Escrow will make the Material available for collection by the Owner from the premises of NCC Escrow during office hours. After such 30 day period NCC Escrow will destroy the Material.
 
  12.10   NCC Escrow may upon 30 days written notice to all parties terminate this Agreement if it is unable to verify the legal status of any of the other parties to this Agreement despite having used reasonable endeavours to do so.

  13.3   This escrow agreement, the Schedules and the Appendix hereto, the Order Form and any relevant NCC Escrow standard terms and conditions represent the whole agreement relating to the escrow arrangements between the parties for the Package and shall supersede all prior agreements, discussions, arrangements, representations, negotiations and undertakings.

  13.11   The parties shall not be liable to each other or be deemed to be in breach of this Agreement by reason of any delay in performing, or failure to perform, any of their obligations under this Agreement if the delay or failure was beyond that party’s reasonable control (including, without limitation, fire, flood, explosion, epidemic, riot, civil commotion, any strike, lockout or other industrial action, act of God, war or warlike hostilities or threat of war, terrorist activities, accidental or malicious damage, or any prohibition or restriction by any governments or other legal authority which affects this Agreement and which is not in force on the date of this Agreement).
