DISTRIBUTION, LICENSE AND MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT
     THIS DISTRIBUTION, LICENSE AND MANUFACTURING AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of August 24, 2008 (the “Effective Date”) by and among Remedent, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Remedent Nevada”), Remedent N.V., a Belgian corporation (“Remedent Belgium”, and together with Remedent Nevada, “Remedent”), and Den-Mat Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Den-Mat”).
     WHEREAS, Remedent has developed and desires to market, distribute, license and sell certain products and services and Remedent desires to appoint Den-Mat to act as the sole and exclusive distributor of such products and services for Remedent in the Territory (as defined below) and, with certain limitations, as a non-exclusive distributor of such products and services for Remedent outside the Territory;
     WHEREAS, Den-Mat and Remedent have agreed that Den-Mat will purchase certain products manufactured by or for Remedent for a specified period of time (subject to extension) and that Den-Mat will make royalty payments to Remedent in connection with the sale of certain products by Den-Mat;
     WHEREAS, Remedent owns certain patents, trademarks and other intellectual property, and has rights pursuant to certain licenses and other agreements with respect to other patents, trademarks and other intellectual property, and Remedent desires to grant to Den-Mat (to the extent such third party licenses and other agreements permit) an exclusive license of such patents, trademarks and other intellectual property in the Territory and a non-exclusive license of such patents, trademarks and other intellectual property in the Excluded Markets and the China Market (each as defined below); and
     WHEREAS, Remedent desires to grant Den-Mat the non-exclusive right to manufacture or have manufactured certain products developed by Remedent.
     NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and for other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged, Remedent and Den-Mat hereby agree as follows.
1. Defined Terms.
     Capitalized terms used herein without definition shall have the respective meanings given to them in Schedule 1.
2. Distribution Rights.
2.1 Appointment as Distributor of the Products.
     2.1.1 Exclusive Distributor. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, Remedent hereby appoints Den-Mat as the sole and exclusive (even as to Remedent) distributor to market, distribute, license and sell Products in the Territory, and Den-Mat hereby accepts this appointment. For each market in the Territory, Den-Mat may appoint one or more sub-

 


 

distributors and subcontractors to market, distribute, license and sell the Products in the Territory, without Remedent’s consent.
     2.1.2 Treatment of China. [***]
     2.1.3 Non-Exclusive Distributor. [***]
     2.1.4 Subdistributors. Den-Mat may authorize sub-distributors and subcontractors to market, distribute, license and sell Products in accordance with this Section 2, provided that within ten (10) days after the appointment of such sub-distributor or subcontractor after the Effective Date, Den-Mat shall notify Remedent of the identity, address and market of such sub-distributor or subcontractor. Den-Mat shall not sell or otherwise transfer Products to any sub-distributor or subcontractor until such sub-distributor or subcontractor enters into a form of written agreement (“Subdistributor Agreement”) with Den-Mat, which shall (a) include provisions to bind such sub-distributor or subcontractor to terms and conditions substantially similar to the product and territorial scope and other limitations set forth in Sections 2 and 3 and (b) authorize Remedent to enforce such provisions.
2.2 Future Increase of the Territory.
     2.2.1 Addition of Excluded Markets. [***]

     2.2.2 Addition of China Market. [***]

-3-


 

     2.2.3 Expansion of Territory. [***]
2.3 Potential Future Distribution Rights.
     2.3.1 Right to Distribute Future Remedent Veneer Products. Remedent hereby grants Den-Mat the first right to hold sole and exclusive distribution rights to market, distribute, license and sell all future veneer products that are not GlamSmile Products (each, a “Remedent Veneer Product”) developed (whether directly or indirectly, individually or jointly with others) by or for Remedent (or any of Remedent’s Affiliates) in all existing and future markets worldwide; provided, however, that any grant of rights developed jointly with others will be subject to the rights, if any, of the joint developers. Remedent shall give Den-Mat written notice of each additional Remedent Veneer Product as the same is developed, which notice shall identify such Remedent Veneer Product and the anticipated market therefor. Remedent shall not market, distribute, license or sell any Remedent Veneer Product except through a third party pursuant to a written agreement, and Remedent shall not grant to any Person the right to manufacture, market, license, distribute or sell any Remedent Veneer Product unless it has complied with this Section 2.3.1. Prior to appointing any Person as a distributor for any Remedent Veneer Product: Remedent shall deliver to Den-Mat (a) at least thirty (30) days prior to entering into such distribution agreement, a notice identifying the Remedent Veneer

-4-


 

Product(s) that is the subject of such distribution agreement, the identity of the proposed distributor and a summary of the terms and conditions of such proposed distribution agreement, and (b) at least fifteen (15) days prior to entering into such distribution agreement, a copy of the complete and final proposed distribution agreement and a notice of the date on which such distribution agreement is to be executed (the “Proposed Remedent Veneer Signing Date”). At any time prior to the second Business Day preceding the Proposed Remedent Veneer Signing Date set forth in such notice from Remedent, Den-Mat may elect, effective upon delivery of notice to that effect to Remedent, to enter into such distribution agreement in lieu of such other Person on the terms and conditions set forth in such final distribution agreement (but with appropriate modifications to the terms thereof to the extent any of the terms of such final distribution agreement are unique to such other Person and are incapable of performance by Den-Mat). If Den-Mat notifies Remedent that it elects to enter into such distribution agreement in lieu of such other Person, Den-Mat and Remedent shall promptly thereafter negotiate in good faith any appropriate modifications to the terms thereof, to the extent any of the terms of such final distribution agreement are unique to such other Person and are incapable of performance by Den-Mat, and execute and deliver such distribution agreement. If Den-Mat does not deliver a notice of exercise with respect to any distribution agreement for Remedent Veneer Product(s) prior to the second Business Day preceding the Proposed Remedent Veneer Signing Date, as referred to above, then during the ten (10) Business Day period commencing with such Proposed Remedent Veneer Signing Date, Remedent and such other Person may enter into the final distribution agreement, provided there is no modification of the terms thereof from the final version provided to Den-Mat. If Remedent and such Person do not enter into a distribution agreement within the ten (10) Business Day period referred to in the preceding sentence, Remedent shall not thereafter enter into a distribution agreement with respect to the Remedent Veneer Product(s) subject to such agreement (with such Person or any other Person) without first again complying with each of the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3.1.
     2.3.2 Right of First Offer on Other Remedent Potential Products. Remedent hereby grants Den-Mat the right of first offer to have the sole and exclusive worldwide right to market, distribute, license and sell all of the Other Potential Products (a) worldwide, or alternatively, (b) in one or more of the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada. Remedent shall give Den-Mat written notice of each Other Potential Product as the same is developed, which notice shall identify such Other Potential Product and the anticipated market therefor. During the forty-five (45) day period after delivery of such notice, Remedent shall provide such information and access to its development, marketing and sales personnel as Den-Mat may reasonably request in order to evaluate such Other Potential Product. On or before the expiration of such forty-five (45) day period, Den-Mat shall notify Remedent if it elects to exercise the rights granted under this Section 2.3.2, and if Den-Mat fails to notify Remedent during such forty-five (45) day period it will be deemed to have waived its rights under this Section 2.3.2 with respect to such Other Potential Product. If Den-Mat delivers such a notice, Den-Mat and Remedent shall promptly commence negotiations with respect to the terms and conditions on which Den-Mat will become the sole and exclusive distributor for such Other Potential Product on a worldwide basis or in one or more of the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada, and Den-Mat and Remedent shall engage in such negotiations in good faith. During the period commencing on the delivery of such notice by Remedent and ending on the later of (a) the end of such forty-five (45) day period, or, if earlier, the date Den-Mat notifies Remedent that it will not exercise its rights under this Section 2.3.2 with respect to such Other

-5-


 

Potential Product or (b) the date negotiations between Den-Mat and Remedent with respect to a potential distribution agreement with respect to such Other Potential Product terminate, Remedent shall not directly distribute, nor shall it authorize any Person to distribute, such Other Potential Product. If Remedent notifies Den-Mat of any Other Potential Product and Den-Mat does not deliver to Remedent the notice of exercise referred to above or reach an agreement with Remedent to become a distributor with respect to such Other Potential Product, or Den-Mat waives the right of first offer under this Section 2.3.2, Remedent may thereafter market , distribute, license and sell such Other Potential Product, including the use of sub-distributors and subcontractors, provided, however, Remedent shall not designate any licensee, subcontractor or distributor for such Other Potential Product on a worldwide basis or in the United States, the United Kingdom or Canada except as hereafter provided in this Section 2.3.2.
          (i) Appointment Within Six Months. If Remedent notifies Den-Mat of any Other Potential Product and Den-Mat does not become the sole and exclusive distributor of such Other Potential Product, either because Den-Mat does not exercise its rights under this Section 2.3.2 with respect to such Other Potential Product or, having exercised such rights, is unable to reach agreement with Remedent with respect to the terms and conditions of such distribution agreement, Remedent may designate another Person as the exclusive distributor of such Other Potential Product worldwide or in one or more of the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada at any time during the six (6) month period after the later of the expiration of the forty five (45) day period referred to above or the date Remedent and Den-Mat terminate their negotiations regarding the terms and conditions of such distribution agreement; provided, however, if Den-Mat delivered a notice of exercise with respect to such Other Potential Product during the forty five (45) day period referred to above, the terms and conditions of the distribution agreement with such other Person shall not be more favorable to such other Person than the terms and conditions last offered in writing by Remedent to Den-Mat. If Remedent has not entered into an exclusive distribution agreement with respect to such Other Potential Product on a worldwide basis or in the United States, the United Kingdom or Canada, as the case may be, within the six (6) month period referred to in the preceding sentence, it may not thereafter appoint a distributor for such Other Potential Product in such territory unless it again complies with the procedures set forth above in this Section 2.3.2.
          (ii) Different Scope. If Remedent notifies Den-Mat of any Other Potential Product and Den-Mat does not become the sole and exclusive distributor of such Other Potential Product worldwide or in the United States, the United Kingdom or Canada (as applicable for purposes of this Section 2.3.2(ii)), either because Den-Mat does not exercise its rights under this Section 2.3.2 with respect to such Other Potential Product or, having exercised such rights, is unable to reach agreement with Remedent with respect to the terms and conditions of such distribution agreement, Remedent may from time to time designate another Person as a distributor of such Other Potential Product in one or more markets less than all of the United States, the United Kingdom or Canada or on a scope less than sole and exclusive in one or more of such markets if Remedent: (A) delivers to Den-Mat at least thirty (30) days prior to entering into such distribution agreement, a notice identifying the Other Potential Product that is the subject of such distribution agreement, the identity of the proposed distributor and a summary of the terms and conditions of such proposed distribution agreement, and (B) delivers to Den-Mat at least fifteen (15) days prior to entering into such distribution agreement, a copy of the complete and final proposed distribution agreement and a notice of the date on which such distribution

-6-


 

agreement is to be executed (the “Proposed Remedent Other Products Signing Date”). At any time prior to the second Business Day preceding the Proposed Remedent Other Products Signing Date set forth in such notice from Remedent, Den-Mat may elect, effective upon delivery of notice to that effect to Remedent, to enter into such distribution agreement in lieu of such other Person on the terms and conditions set forth in such final distribution agreement (but with appropriate modifications to the terms thereof to the extent any of the terms of such final distribution agreement are unique to such other Person and are incapable of performance by Den-Mat). If Den-Mat notifies Remedent that it elects to enter into such distribution agreement in lieu of such other Person, Den-Mat and Remedent shall promptly thereafter negotiate in good faith any appropriate modifications to the terms thereof, to the extent any of the terms of such final distribution agreement are unique to such other Person and are incapable of performance by Den-Mat, and execute and deliver such distribution agreement. If Den-Mat does not deliver a notice of exercise with respect to any distribution agreement for Other Potential Product(s) prior to the second Business Day preceding the Proposed Remedent Other Products Signing Date, as referred to above, then during the five (5) day period commencing with such Proposed Remedent Other Products Signing Date, Remedent and such other Person may enter into the final distribution agreement, provided there is no modification of the terms thereof from the final version provided to Den-Mat. If Remedent and such Person do not enter into a distribution agreement within the five (5) day period referred to in the preceding sentence, Remedent shall not thereafter enter into a distribution agreement with respect to the Other Potential Product(s) subject to such agreement (with such Person or any other Person) without first again complying with each of the procedures set forth in this Section 2.3.2(ii) (and if more than six (6) months have passed since Remedent last delivered the notice contemplated by the second sentence of this Section 2.3.2, also comply with each of the other provisions of this Section 2.3.2).
2.4 Cessation of Use.
     2.4.1 End of Guaranty Period. Upon expiration or termination of the Guaranty Period, the sole and exclusive distribution rights provided for in Section 2.1.1 shall be amended, without the need for any further action by any Party, to become non-exclusive distribution rights instead of sole and exclusive distribution rights (with the effect that the phrase ‘the sole and exclusive (even as to Remedent)’ in Section 2.1.1 shall be deemed to mean ‘non-exclusive’ even if the text is not physically modified).
     2.4.2 End of Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement or, if later, upon the conclusion of any applicable Sell-Off Period, Den-Mat shall cease having rights to market, distribute, license and sell Products in the Territory.
3. Intellectual Property License Rights.
3.1 Grants.
     3.1.1 Use of Existing Intellectual Property in the Territory. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, Remedent hereby grants to Den-Mat a sole and exclusive (even as to Remedent) transferable and sublicensable right and license to use within the Territory the Intellectual Property owned or used by Remedent that is related to the Products as it exists on the Effective Date. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (a) Remedent retains the right to use and

-7-


 

license to any Person performing contract manufacturing for Remedent (concurrently with Den-Mat’s right to use) such Intellectual Property solely in connection with the manufacture of the Products and for internal product development related to the Products and (b) this grant shall not include any rights to the name or trademark ‘Remedent’. For purposes of clarity, during the Guaranty Period Remedent shall not use the name or trademark ‘GlamSmile’ in the Territory without the prior written consent of Den-Mat. During the forty-five (45) day period after the Effective Date, Den-Mat shall provide such cooperation to Remedent as Remedent may reasonably request related to developing and implementing guidelines for use of the trademarks included among the Intellectual Property licensed to Den-Mat pursuant to this Section 3.1.1 sufficient to enable Remedent to preserve such trademarks; provided, however, Den-Mat shall not be required to adopt or implement any such guideline to the extent doing so would adversely affect Den-Mat’s ability to comply with the terms of this Agreement, materially impact Den-Mat’s costs of performance under this Agreement or otherwise would not be commercially reasonable.
     3.1.2 Use of Existing Intellectual Property in the Excluded Markets. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, Remedent hereby grants to Den-Mat a non-exclusive, transferable and sublicensable right and license to use in the China Market and the Excluded Markets the Intellectual Property licensed or owned by Remedent that is related to the Products, whether existing on the Effective Date or developed or acquired by Remedent after the Effective Date, except (a) as specifically identified on Schedule 3.1.2, (b) subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2, (c) this grant shall not include any rights to the name or trademark ‘Remedent’ and (d) use of the “GlamSmile” name or trademark in the Excluded Markets shall be limited as provided in Schedule 3.1.2.
     3.1.3 Use of Future Intellectual Property. Subject to the terms and conditions in this Agreement, Remedent hereby grants to Den-Mat a sole and exclusive (even as to Remedent) transferable and sublicensable right and license to use within the Territory the Intellectual Property owned or used by Remedent that is related to the Products and is developed (whether directly or indirectly, individually or jointly with others) by Remedent (or any of Remedent’s Affiliates) or acquired by Remedent (or any of Remedent’s Affiliates) after the Effective Date, except that (a) such grant is subject to the limitations set forth in Section 3.2, (b) Remedent retains the right to use and license to any Person providing contract manufacturing to Remedent (concurrently with Den-Mat’s right to use) such Intellectual Property solely in connection with the manufacture of the Products for Den-Mat and for internal product development related to the Products for Den-Mat and (c) Remedent retains the right to use and license to any Person providing contract manufacturing to Remedent (concurrently with Den-Mat’s right to use) any of such Intellectual Property directly related to the Product manufacturing process or the Tray delivery process solely in connection with the manufacture of the Products.
3.2 Rights in Future Intellectual Property.
     3.2.1 Remedent. Remedent shall promptly notify Den-Mat of any Intellectual Property developed (whether directly or indirectly, individually or jointly with others) by Remedent (or any of Remedent’s Affiliates) or acquired by Remedent (or any of Remedent’s Affiliates) after the Effective Date related to the Products and concurrently therewith deliver such Intellectual Property to Den-Mat as provided in Section 3.3. The grants provided in Section

-8-


 

3.1 shall not apply to any Intellectual Property licensed by Remedent after the Effective Date for which, despite commercially reasonable efforts, Remedent is not able to obtain a sublicense or the right to grant a sublicense enabling Remedent to grant the license contemplated by Section 3.1; provided, however, Remedent shall not thereafter use such Intellectual Property in competition with the Products during the Guaranty Period, except in the Excluded Markets and in the China Market or in connection with the purpose of manufacturing the Products for Den-Mat under the terms of this Agreement. Upon being advised that any Intellectual Property Remedent desires to license from another Person after the Effective Date would not be available to Den-Mat as contemplated by Section 3.1, Remedent shall give prompt written notice of such event to Den-Mat and thereafter will not license such Intellectual Property without first cooperating with Den-Mat for a period of at least fifteen (15) Business Days, in such manner as Den-Mat may reasonably request, to obtain a license of such Intellectual Property, on commercially reasonable terms, in the scope contemplated by Section 3.1 or in such more limited scope as Den-Mat may agree.
3.3 Delivery of Intellectual Property. In connection with the licenses granted to Den-Mat pursuant to Section 3.1, Remedent shall deliver to Den-Mat, not less than one (1) copy of all computer object code (in machine readable form) and all computer source code and other technology related to the Intellectual Property of Remedent that is related to the Products; provided, however, the source code related to the software licensed from SensAble Technologies, Inc. shall not be delivered and instead shall be held in an escrow arrangement of which Remedent shall cause Den-Mat to be a direct beneficiary in the event of Remedent’s bankruptcy. From time to time as upgrades or updates of the source code are developed, Remedent shall deliver to Den-Mat a copy of each such upgrade and update. Den-Mat will protect and maintain the confidentiality of such source code and any confidential Intellectual Property provided to it hereunder to the same extent as it protects and maintains the confidentiality of its own source code and confidential Intellectual Property.
3.4 Cessation of Use.
     3.4.1 End of Guaranty Period. Upon expiration or termination of the Guaranty Period, the sole and exclusive licenses provided in Section 3.1.1 shall be amended, without the need for any further action by any Party, to become non-exclusive licenses instead of sole and exclusive licenses (with the effect that the term ‘sole and exclusive’ in Section 3.1.1 shall be deemed to mean ‘non-exclusive’ even if the text is not physically modified). In addition, upon expiration of the Guaranty Period, the right of Den-Mat to use any trademark of Remedent included among the Intellectual Property of Remedent initially licensed under Section 3.1 shall immediately terminate, except in connection with Den-Mat’s sale, in the ordinary course of business, of its remaining inventory of Products bearing such trademarks.
     3.4.2 End of Agreement. Upon termination of this Agreement or, if later, upon the conclusion of any applicable Sell-Off Period, Den-Mat shall cease using all Intellectual Property of Remedent and all materials, in any format or media, bearing or using the Intellectual Property of Remedent, and promptly return or destroy all tangible and electronic copies of such Intellectual Property, as requested by Remedent, and upon the request of Remedent, certify such destruction in writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 3.4.2, Den-Mat may retain one (1) copy of the Intellectual Property of Remedent for Den-Mat’s internal

-9-

the taking of any actions by Remedent under this Section 9.2.1, then Den-Mat shall be entitled to recoup its fees and expenses related thereto either from any recovery obtained by Remedent (after Remedent has recouped its own costs and expenses related thereto) or by off-set against its payment obligations to Remedent under this Agreement. In addition, if Den-Mat commences an action in accordance with this Section 9.2.1 involving the commencement or threatened commencement of an action involving an infringement of the Intellectual Property of Remedent related to the Products, and Den-Mat is successful on such claims, then the amount payable by the infringing party shall be applied: first, to pay any fees and expenses incurred by Den-Mat in connection with such action, next to pay any fees and expenses incurred by Remedent in connection with such action at the request of Den-Mat and, finally, [***].
     9.2.2 Remedent agrees that, during the Guaranty Period, in no case, under bankruptcy or otherwise, shall it assign or license any of the Intellectual Property related to the Products or dispose of any interest therein to a Person who is a direct competitor of Den-Mat or to any successor or assign of any such Person; provided, however, Remedent may license such Intellectual Property to any distributor of the Products as of the Effective Date for use in the Excluded Markets and the China Market if such license does not breach any other provision of this Agreement.
     9.2.3 Remedent acknowledges that this Agreement is an executory contract that would be subject to the provisions of section 365(n) of the U.S. Bankruptcy Code if in the future an involuntary or voluntary proceeding shall have been instituted in a court having jurisdiction seeking a decree or order for relief in respect of Remedent under any applicable bankruptcy, insolvency or other similar law now or hereafter in effect, or for the appointment of a receiver, liquidator, assignee, custodian, trustee, sequestrator (or similar official) of Remedent or for any substantial part of its property, or for the winding-up or liquidation of its affairs, and further acknowledges that failure to perform continuing obligations under this Agreement would constitute material breach of this Agreement. Remedent believes that the royalty payments set forth in this Agreement are distinct from and separate from payments made in this Agreement for other services. Remedent agrees that Den-Mat may assume or retain the licenses granted under this Agreement if any such proceeding has been instituted, regardless of whether the underlying license is interpreted to prohibit or restrict assignment in any manner, provided that Den-Mat continues to timely make the royalty payments under this Agreement.
10. Training and Support; Delivery of Customer Information.
10.1 Manuals and Information. As promptly as practical after execution and delivery of this Agreement, Remedent shall deliver to Den-Mat information, materials, manuals and other technical documents of Remedent sufficient to enable Den-Mat to manufacture, market, distribute, license and sell Products contemplated by this Agreement.
10.2 Manufacturing. Remedent shall dedicate sufficient resources, at its own expense, to train Den-Mat and its employees in connection with GlamSmile Technology and Processes, the manufacturing of Products and the establishment of manufacturing facilities for the Products. Schedule 10.2 sets forth the time and scope of the services to be provided by Remedent. Any training with respect to manufacturing beyond the term and scope set forth in Schedule 10.2 (or, for the avoidance of doubt, Schedule 10.3) shall be at Den-Mat’s expense.

     10.3.2 In addition, Remedent shall provide such commercial and technical assistance to Den-Mat, as Den-Mat may reasonably request in connection with the marketing, distribution and sale by Den-Mat of Products under this Agreement. Remedent shall train the appropriate employees of Den-Mat in marketing the Products. At least one (1) time during each calendar year during the Guaranty Period, qualified employees of Remedent shall meet with representatives of Den-Mat, at Remedent’s expense and at such location as Den-Mat may designate, to assist in technical training, sales and/or important customer meetings. In addition, Remedent shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to cause the individuals specified on Schedule 10.3.2 to provide sales and marketing training, education of Den-Mat’s sales and marketing force and customers and other services related to sales and marketing as Den-Mat may reasonably request from the Effective Date through at least January 1, 2009, at no cost or expense to Den-Mat. If any of such persons ceases to be an employee of or consultant to Glamtech-USA, Inc. or Remedent during such period, Remedent shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to cause a replacement for such individual, as Remedent and Den-Mat may agree, to provide such services to Den-Mat. Any training and support with respect to marketing and sales assistance and training beyond the scope set forth in this Section 10.3.2 (or, for the avoidance of doubt, Section 10.2) shall be at Den-Mat’s expense.
     10.3.3 Remedent shall develop and implement a marketing program with respect to the Products and the commencement of Den-Mat’s distribution of the Products in the Territory, which program shall be subject to the prior approval of Den-Mat, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld. Such marketing program shall be consistent with, and Remedent shall make all payments as and when due in accordance with, the budget and timeline set forth in Schedule 10.3.3, subject to such modifications as Remedent and Den-Mat may mutually agree. No provision of this Section 10.3.3 shall require Remedent to make expenditures in excess of [***] with respect to the marketing program for Products and the commencement of Den-Mat’s distribution of the Products in the Territory. Remedent shall consult with Den-Mat and give due consideration to Den-Mat’s views regarding such marketing program from time to time as Den-Mat may reasonably request.
10.4 Customer Information. On the Effective Date, Remedent shall deliver to Den-Mat a list of all of its customers for Products in the Territory and all related records of such customers, a list of all open orders and a list of all active customer activities unless, and then only to the extent, prohibited by applicable law. Similarly on each date an Excluded Market or the China Market becomes part of the Territory under this Agreement, Remedent shall deliver to Den-Mat a list of all of its customers for Products in the Excluded Market or the China Market, as the case may be, that is becoming part of the Territory and all related records of such customers, a list of all open orders and a list of all active customer activities unless, and then only to the extent (a) prohibited by applicable law or (b) prohibited by confidentiality obligations in the related distribution agreement. All such open orders will become orders of Den-Mat, for which Den-Mat will assume collection obligations and for which a royalty (if any) will be payable to Remedent pursuant to Section 6.

10.5 Executive Support. At least once per calendar quarter Nicholas Teti and Stephen Ziskind of Den-Mat and Guy De Vreese of Remedent, or the successors to their respective positions, shall meet in a mutually agreed upon location to discuss business and marketing issues related to the Products and the relationship between Remedent and Den-Mat.
10.6 Advertising. Remedent shall not mail, publish or broadcast any advertisement or other promotional materials related to the Products unless either: (a) such advertisement or other promotional materials are mailed, published and broadcast solely within one or more territories in which Den-Mat does not have sole and exclusive distribution rights with respect to the Products (and it is not expected that such advertisement or other promotional materials will be redistributed outside of such territories) or (b) Den-Mat has given its prior written approval to such advertisement or other promotion; provided, however, Remedent or its distributors or subcontractors shall have a right to mail, publish, or broadcast any advertisement or other promotional materials in the Excluded Markets and in the China Market (including the right to promote the product via the world wide web). Remedent shall cooperate with Den-Mat, at Remedent’s own expense and in such manner as Den-Mat may reasonably request, to either (a) continue to maintain the GlamSmile web site and to make such changes therein as Den-Mat may from time to time request or (b) transfer to Den-Mat all of Remedent’s right, title and interest in and to such web site and the right to maintain and modify such web site.
10.7 Regulatory Matters. Den-Mat shall be responsible for obtaining all regulatory approvals required for it to act as a distributor of the Products in each jurisdiction where the nature of its activities requires such approval to be obtained. Remedent shall be responsible for obtaining all regulatory approval required for it to manufacture the Products in each jurisdiction where such approval is required to be obtained. Each of Remedent and Den-Mat shall provide to the other, upon reasonable request, materials in their respective possession and access to their respective employees, in each case that the requesting Party reasonably determines to be relevant to any regulatory approval sought or required to be obtained by it with respect to the manufacture, distribution, marketing or sale of the Products.
11. Change of Control.
11.1 Option to Receive Exit Fee. If a Change of Control of Den-Mat is consummated prior to the third anniversary of the commencement of the Guaranty Period, Den-Mat or the Person acquiring control of Den-Mat will give notice to Remedent, promptly (and in any event within thirty (30) days) after the occurrence of such Change of Control (a “Change of Control Notice”), which Change of Control Notice shall state a Change of Control has occurred, state the amount of the Exit Fee that would be payable in connection with such Change of Control, if any, and further state whether Den-Mat (or such Person) desires to terminate the Agreement. If such Change of Control Notice does not state Den-Mat (or such Person) desires to terminate this Agreement, then within fifteen (15) days after receipt of the Change of Control Notice, Remedent shall deliver a notice to Den-Mat either (a) electing to receive an exit fee (the “Exit Fee”) as described in this Section 11.1 or (b) electing to continue this Agreement in accordance with its other terms. If Remedent does not notify Den-Mat that Remedent elects to receive the Exit Fee during such fifteen (15) day period, Remedent shall be deemed to have waived its right to receive the Exit Fee. If Remedent delivers a notice to Den-Mat during such fifteen (15) day period that it elects to receive the Exit Fee, then Den-Mat shall pay the Exit Fee to Remedent as

-22-


 

provided in Section 11.2. The provisions of this Section 11 will only apply to the first Change of Control consummated after the Effective Date. If the Change of Control Notice states that Den-Mat (or such Person) desires to terminate this Agreement, such notice shall be deemed a notice of termination pursuant to Sections 13.3 and 7.5.1., but shall not relieve Den-Mat of its financial obligations to make the minimum payments it is required to make to Remedent during any unexpired Guaranty Period.
11.2 Calculation of Exit Fee.
     11.2.1 Subject to Section 11.2.3, if a Change of Control is consummated during the Guaranty Period and on or before the second anniversary of the commencement of the Guaranty Period, the Exit Fee shall equal [***].
     11.2.2 Subject to Section 11.2.3, if a Change of Control is consummated during the Guaranty Period and after the second anniversary of the commencement of the Guaranty Period but on or before the third anniversary of such commencement date, the Exit Fee shall equal [***].
     11.2.3 If a Change of Control is pursuant to clause (i) or (ii) of the definition of a Change of Control and involves less than all of the ownership interests of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners and its Affiliates, the Exit Fee calculated pursuant to Section 11.2.1 or 11.2.2, as the case may be, shall be reduced by multiplying the amount calculated pursuant to Section 11.2.1 or 11.2.2, as the case may be, by the fraction whose numerator is the percentage of the ownership interests of DLJ Merchant Banking Partners and its Affiliates being transferred in such Change of Control and whose denominator is one hundred percent (100%).
     11.2.4 If Remedent delivers a notice electing to receive an Exit Fee pursuant to Section 11.1, such Exit Fee shall be payable by Den-Mat within ten (10) Business Days after receipt of such notice from Remedent. The Exit Fee shall be paid to Remedent, at the option of Den-Mat, either in cash or in the same form or forms of consideration as Den-Mat or its equity holders received in such Change of Control transaction (and if Den-Mat elects this option and more than one form of consideration was received by Den-Mat or its equity holders in such Change of Control transaction, the Exit Fee shall be paid to Remedent in such forms of consideration in the same relative proportion as was paid to Den-Mat or its equity holders).
11.3 Effect of Payment of Exit Fee.
     11.3.1 Royalties Terminate. If the Exit Fee is paid to Remedent, (a) the obligation to pay amounts to Remedent pursuant to Section 6.3 or 6.4 shall terminate effective as of the effective date of such Change of Control, (b) the price per Unit/Tooth pursuant to Section 7.1.4 shall be reduced by [***] per Unit/Tooth effective as of the date of such Change of Control and (c) the amount of any payments from Den-Mat to Remedent pursuant to Section 6.3 or 6.4 made after the effective date of such Change of Control and [***] per Unit/Tooth purchased by Den-Mat pursuant to Section 7.1 after the effective date of such Change of Control shall either be offset against the payment by Den-Mat of the Exit Fee or directly refunded by Remedent to Den-Mat concurrently with payment of the Exit Fee. Payment of the Exit Fee, however, shall not terminate the Guaranty Period.

-23-


 

     11.3.2 Royalty-Free License. If the Person or Persons who acquire control of Den-Mat in the Change of Control transaction with respect to which the Exit Fee is paid desire to manufacture, market, distribute, license and sell the Products other than through Den-Mat and its sublicenses and subcontractors, Remedent shall grant to Den-Mat or to such Person or Persons, as the case may be, a royalty-free license equivalent to those granted in Sections 2, 3 and 4 of this Agreement (reflecting no payments pursuant to Sections 6.3 and 6.4 and a reduction in the price per Unit/Tooth under Section 7.1.4 of [***] per Unit/Tooth) in exchange for the Exit Fee, except for purchases pursuant to Section 7.1.3, which shall be at mutually agreed upon prices.

Den-Mat shall retain its books and records necessary to verify such royalty amounts for a period of not less than three (3) years. Any examination of Den-Mat’s books, records and royalty calculations under this Section 12.3 shall be at Remedent’s expense; provided, however, that if it is determined that the payment of royalties by Den-Mat with respect to any period reviewed by Remedent is understated by five percent (5%) or more, Den-Mat shall reimburse to Remedent costs of such examination.

18.2 Indemnification by Remedent.

-37-


 

Transaction Documents, or the breach of any representation, warranty or covenant made by Remedent in this Agreement or any of the other Remedent Transaction Documents.
18.3 IP Indemnity. Remedent shall indemnify Den-Mat and its Affiliates and its and their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents and representatives from and against any and all Liabilities, to the extent resulting from, arising out of, or in connection with any infringement or alleged infringement of the Products, the Intellectual Property of Remedent, or any use or application thereof upon any Intellectual Property of any Person. If the manufacture, distribution, marketing, licensing, sale or use of any Product or Intellectual Property, as contemplated by this Agreement, is enjoined as a result of any Intellectual Property claim or judgment, then Remedent, in addition to its other obligations under this Agreement, shall, at its option, (i) obtain for Den-Mat, at Remedent’s expense, any license required for Den-Mat to manufacture, market, distribute, license and sell the Products as contemplated by this Agreement, or (ii) redesign the infringing item or items to be non-infringing, while maintaining the original function thereof or (iii) replace the infringing item or items with an equivalent, non-infringing item approved by Den-Mat.
18.4 Indemnification Procedures. A Party seeking indemnification under this Section 18 for itself or any of its Affiliates or any of its or their respective officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents and representatives (collectively in this capacity, the “Indemnified Party”) shall promptly notify the Party from whom indemnification is sought (in this capacity, the “Indemnitor”) of any Liability in respect of which such Indemnified Party intends to claim indemnification; provided, however, that the failure to so notify the Indemnitor shall not affect the Indemnified Party’s rights to indemnification hereunder except to the extent that the Indemnitor is materially prejudiced by such failure. With respect to any Liabilities that relate to a third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall permit the Indemnitor to control the defense of any such Liabilities; provided, however, if the Indemnified Party reasonably determines that the joint representation of the Indemnified Party and the Indemnitor by a single counsel would result in a conflict of interest arising out of the joint representation by counsel selected by the Indemnitor of the interests of the Indemnitor and the Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor shall be entitled to engage separate counsel to represent the Indemnified Party (at the Indemnitor’s sole cost and expense) and, if the Indemnitor fails to do so, the Indemnitor shall not be entitled to assume the Indemnified Party’s defense of such Liability. If the Indemnitor assumes the defense of any Liability, the Indemnitor shall consult with the Indemnified Party for the purpose of allowing the Indemnified Party to participate in such defense, but in such case the legal expenses of the Indemnified Party incurred as a result of such participation shall be paid by the Indemnified Party. With respect to any Proceeding for which the Indemnitor has assumed the defense of an Indemnified Party, the Indemnitor shall promptly inform the applicable Indemnified Party of all material developments related thereto, including copying such Indemnified Party on all pleadings, filings and other correspondence relating thereto. If the Indemnitor fails to assume and defend a Liability or if, after commencing or undertaking any such defense, the Indemnitor fails to prosecute such Liability, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to undertake the defense or settlement thereof. With respect to any Liabilities that relate to a third party claim, the Indemnified Party shall have the right to settle such Liabilities, provided the Indemnified Party consents in writing to such settlement, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld.

During a Force Majeure Event that results in Remedent being unable to supply Products to Den-Mat as provided in this Agreement, the purchase obligations of Den-Mat in each Contract Year will be reduced pro rata based on the number of days in such Force Majeure Event divided by 365, and the Contract Year or Contract Period, as the case may be, in which such Force Majeure Event occurs will not be extended.
19.2 Notification. If a Party fails to perform its obligations under this Agreement as a result of a Force Majeure Event, such Party shall immediately give written notice to the other Parties of such Force Majeure Event, which notice shall include a summary of the occurrence, a reasonably detailed description of the impact on such Party and, if available, a non-binding estimate of how long such Force Majeure Event will prevent such Party from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement. The affected Party shall use all reasonable efforts to remedy such occurrence or failure to comply with its obligations under this Agreement with all reasonable dispatch. Subject to Section 19.1 and 19.3 to the extent required by any Force Majeure Event, the performance by each Party of its obligations under this Agreement shall be suspended during the continuance of such Force Majeure Event (but for no longer period), and the time periods for the performance by a Party of its obligations, or the exercise of its rights, under this Agreement shall be extended for a period of time equal to the duration of such Force Majeure Event and this Agreement shall otherwise remain unaffected. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if at any time during the term of this Agreement a Force Majeure Event is remedied or such compliance is achieved, such Party shall promptly notify the other Parties and any such suspension shall end.
19.3 Termination. If a Force Majeure Event prevents Remedent from fulfilling its obligations under this Agreement for a period of sixty (60) days or more, Den-Mat shall have the right at any time thereafter during the term of this Agreement to terminate this Agreement without liability to Remedent effective immediately upon notice of termination to Remedent. The right set forth in this Section 19.3 shall be in addition to, and shall not be exclusive of or prejudicial to, any other rights, powers or remedies Den-Mat may have under this Agreement, at law, in equity or otherwise on account of the non-performance (or threatened or anticipated non-performance) by Remedent of any of its obligations under this Agreement. The exercise of such right by Den-Mat shall not under any circumstance be deemed to constitute or operate as a waiver of Den-Mat’s right to require Remedent to fully perform, or a release of Remedent from, its obligations under this Agreement. As an alternative to any such termination of this Agreement pursuant to this Section 19.3, in lieu of a notice of termination Den-Mat may deliver a notice that it is terminating only its required purchase obligations and Remedent’s required supply obligations under Section 7 through the scheduled end of the Guaranty Period then in effect (or, if such notice is delivered after the third (3rd) anniversary of the commencement of the

-39-


 

Guaranty Period, the scheduled end of the Contract Year then in effect), and thereafter this Agreement shall continue until terminated in accordance with its terms except all such purchase and supply obligations shall be treated as having been satisfied through the scheduled end of the Guaranty Period then in effect (or, if such notice is delivered after the third (3rd) anniversary of the commencement of the Guaranty Period, the scheduled end of the Contract Year then in effect) without the requirement for further action by the Parties.
