The purpose of Section 44 is to limit monetary claims to amounts that can be predicted and are quantifiable, which are a direct result of the breach that initiates the monetary claim, by excluding "punitive," "incidental" and other "indirect" monetary claims, which are usually intended to include out-of-pocket expenses directly attributable to a breach. Since intellectual property of both Ryobi and Presstek is extremely important, this section does not limit amount of monetary claims for a breach associated with a misuse of intellectual property. This section also does not limit the amount of monetary claims for a breach associated with the Confidentiality Agreement. ARTICLE 45 TAXES 1. With regard to Taxes that may arise in connection with Presstek distribution activities, Presstek shall be responsible for and shall bear and pay (or reimburse Ryobi for, to the extent paid by Ryobi) all Taxes (but excluding any net income taxes imposed on Ryobi) which are owed or imposed under or by any governmental authority or agency in connection with the Presstek distribution activities. 2.

If either Presstek or Ryobi would be responsible for any Tax under this Agreement and provides certification of an exemption from such Tax or of a reduced rate of Tax imposed on the other party by an applicable taxing authority, under such taxing authority's rules, then the other party shall not (unless otherwise required by law) invoice for or pay over any such Tax unless and until the applicable taxing authority assesses such Tax. 4. For purposes of this section, "Taxes" shall mean any and all taxes, customs, duties, and similar charges imposed or collected by any governmental entity worldwide or any political subdivision thereof on the distribution of Sun Presses or DI Products and however designated or levied and shall include any interest, penalties, costs, or additions to tax (except as may otherwise be specifically provided herein). 20 ARTICLE 46.

The Receiving Party shall maintain all Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party in strict confidence, shall not publish, disseminate, disclose or otherwise make such Confidential Information available to any third party without the prior written consent of the Disclosing party (and then only within the limits of such prior written consent), and shall not use such Confidential Information for any purpose other than for the manufacture, development, use and sale of (i) SUN Presses pursuant to the terms of the Manufacturing Agreement, (ii) the CTP Device pursuant to any CTP Agreement and (iii) the A2 Press Project pursuant to the terms of any A2 Agreement. The Receiving Party agrees to limit the dissemination of, and access to, the Confidential Information solely to employees of the Receiving Party (together with its legal advisors) who have a "need to know" such information, provided that such employees shall have entered into appropriate confidentiality relationships with the Receiving Party so as to ensure that the Receiving Party has the legal right to implement the terms and conditions of this Confidentiality Agreement. 4. Notwithstanding paragraph 3 of this Confidentiality Agreement, the obligation of confidentiality and non-use on the part of the Receiving Party shall not apply to information which: (a) the Receiving Party can establish was publicly known or was known to the Receiving Party at the time of disclosure; (b) becomes publicly known subsequent to the time of disclosure, provided that such public knowledge is not the fault of, or the result of an improper disclosure by, the Receiving Party; (c) is subsequently received by the Receiving Party without a confidentiality obligation from a third party which has the right to disclose such information without a confidentiality obligation; or (d) is required to be disclosed by applicable law, regulation or legal process (whether by subpoena, civil investigative demand, or other similar process), provided that if the Receiving Party is so requested to disclose any of the Confidential Information the Receiving Party will in the first instance take all reasonable steps to prevent public disclosure of such Confidential Information and will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt notice of any such request of which the Receiving Party has knowledge so that the Disclosing Party may seek a protective order or other appropriate remedy, or may waive the Receiving Party's compliance with the provisions of this Confidentiality Agreement, as appropriate. Regardless of whether the Disclosing Party waives compliance with the terms hereof for the purpose of such disclosure, or whether a protective order or other appropriate remedy is obtained, the Receiving Party will furnish only that portion of the Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed by such applicable law, regulation or legal process. For purposes of the foregoing exceptions, disclosures which are specific (for example, as to engineering and design practices and techniques, products, software, operating parameters) shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions to confidentiality merely because they are embraced by general disclosures which are in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party. Any combination of features shall not be deemed to be within the foregoing exceptions to confidentiality merely because individual features are in the public domain or in the possession of the Receiving Party, but only if the combination itself and its principle of operation are in the public domain or the possession of the Receiving Party. 5. Upon termination of the Manufacturing Agreement, any CTP Agreement or any A2 Agreement, if requested by the Disclosing Party, all Confidential Information relating to the Sun Press, the CTP Device or the A2 Press Project, as the case may be, in any tangible form received by the Receiving Party and all documents, notes, sketches, prototypes, discs, tapes, records or other written or electronic materials prepared by the Receiving Party containing or reflecting such Confidential Information or abstracts or summaries thereof shall be promptly returned to the Disclosing Party, together with all copies thereof. However, the Receiving Party shall be entitled to retain such materials as are necessary or appropriate for exercise of rights under the Manufacturing Agreement, any CTP Agreement or any A2 Agreement, as the case may be, and may retain one copy for archival purposes only. 6. Nothing contained in this Confidentiality Agreement shall be construed as requiring either party to disclose any specific information to the other, nor as a grant by implication, estoppel or otherwise of any license to make, have made, use or sell any product or as a license under any patent, patent application, utility model, copyright, trade secret, trademark, or any other proprietary right. All such rights are or will be set forth in the Manufacturing Agreement, any CTP Agreement or any A2 Agreement. 7. This Confidentiality Agreement shall be in force from the time it is signed by both parties for so long as the Manufacturing Agreement, any CTP Agreement or any A2 Agreement remain in force and for a period of five years after each such agreement is terminated. 8. The parties acknowledge and agree that a breach of this Confidentiality Agreement by either of them may cause irreparable damage to the non-breaching party, that such damage would be difficult to measure, and that such damage may not be adequately compensated by monetary damages. In such event, a party shall have the right to sue for injunctive relief, without the necessity of posting a bond, or shall have the right to specific performance of this Agreement. 9. This Confidentiality Agreement contains the entire agreement between the parties concerning disclosure and use of Confidential Information and cannot be altered except by an agreement between the parties in writing. This Confidential Agreement shall be interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and all parties to this Confidentiality Agreement hereby subject themselves to the jurisdiction of the courts of the United States sitting in New York to enforce the provision of this Confidentiality Agreement. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this Confidentiality Agreement to be executed by their duly authorized representatives. Presstek, Inc. Ryobi Limited By: /s/ Robert Hallman By: /s/ T.
