Section 4.2.            Placement of Orders.   All orders for Laser Power Sources submitted by Edwards shall be initiated by written purchase orders sent to PLC no later than the first day of the month preceding each calendar quarter, which purchase orders shall specify the desired delivery date (which shall not be later than 10 days before the end of a calendar quarter) and the Edwards Facility as the location for delivery in accordance with Section 5.3. Quarterly purchase orders submitted to PLC by Edwards will indicate the quantity of Laser Power Sources to be delivered for each month of the quarter, provided, however, the quantity for any individual month shall in no case be less than [**]% of the total to be delivered for the entire quarter. There shall be no upper limit on the quantity of Laser Power Sources Edwards may order in a quarter, provided, however, PLC will have no liability under this Agreement for failure to deliver, in a timely manner, any amount of Product in excess of [**]% of the quantity most recently forecasted pursuant to Section 4.1 for the quarter. PLC shall use commercially reasonable efforts to deliver Laser Power Sources on the agreed upon delivery dates set forth in accepted purchase orders, but, in any event, shall make all deliveries within ten days of the agreed upon delivery dates set forth in accepted purchase orders.

Section 4.3.            PLC License.   PLC hereby grants to Edwards and its Affiliates a non-exclusive license (the “PLC License”), in the Territory, to all intellectual property owned by or licensed to PLC, to the extent sublicensable without cost to PLC, that PLC uses to develop, make or have made Laser Power Sources for Edwards, including, without limitation, the right to use PLC’s manufacturing methods to manufacture Laser Power Sources (including all necessary trade secrets, technical know-how and other intellectual property of PLC) (collectively, the “PLC Laser Power Source Intellectual Property”), to make, have made, import, sell, market, or offer for sale, Laser Power Sources in the Field of Use that but for the license granted in this Section 4.3 would infringe or misappropriate PLC Intellectual Property. Edwards covenants not to exercise the license granted under this Section 4.3 unless (i) a Supply Breach as described in Section 4.4 by PLC occurs, or (ii) PLC is not selected to engineer or supply Laser Power Sources pursuant to Section 2.2 above (each, an “Escrow Release Event”); provided, however, that in the event of an Escrow Release Event resulting from the failure of

12




PLC to be selected to provide engineering services pursuant to Section 2.2(a), such license shall be for the limited purpose of enabling the person so selected to provide such engineering services. Edwards agrees to require any licensee or sublicense of PLC Laser Power Source Intellectual Property to enter into a confidentiality agreement that protects the PLC Laser Power Source Intellectual Property with the same degree of care that Edwards uses to protect its own comparable confidential information; provided that PLC shall be expressly named therein as a third party beneficiary of such agreement.

Section 4.4.            Failure to Supply.

(a)   In the event PLC (in each case, a “Supply Breach”):  (i) refuses (including a failure to respond in a reasonably timely matter to a written inquiry, excluding a purchase order) to timely supply the Laser Power Source in accordance with a timely issued purchase order that conforms to all the applicable requirements of this Agreement or (ii) subject to the limits set forth in Section 4.1 and 4.2, fails twice in any twelve (12) month period to timely supply Edwards with at least [**] percent ([**]%) of the quantity of the Laser Power Sources forecasted for the first calendar quarter of any rolling Forecast (provided that Edwards orders at least [**] percent ([**]%) of such forecasted quantity), Edwards shall have the right to use the PLC License granted above under Section 4.3. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any Supply Breach under Section 4.4(ii) above shall be excused if such failure to supply is the direct result of (i) the failure of Edwards to timely supply the necessary quantity of laser diodes, optics blocks or any other required Edwards supplied material to PLC within the specified lead times necessary for PLC to timely manufacture the quantity of product requested on Edwards purchase order; or (ii) the failure of another PLC supplier to supply an adequate quantity of materials for the Laser Power Sources through no fault of PLC, and where PLC has exercised commercially reasonable efforts to find an alternative source of supply for such materials.

(b)   In the event of an Escrow Release Event, the escrow described in Section 4.5 shall be released and Edwards may exercise the license granted pursuant to Section 4.3.

Section 4.5.            Technology Escrow and Transfer.   PLC shall place the PLC Laser Power Source Intellectual Property in a technology escrow arrangement with Iron Mountain. The information placed in escrow by PLC shall include all trade secrets, know-how, and other intellectual property to allow Edwards to manufacture the Laser Power Source (subject to Section 4.4(b)) in the manner manufactured by PLC immediately prior to Edwards exercise of the rights under the license granted under Section 4.3. PLC shall refresh the escrow in a prompt and timely manner with any new innovations or know-how developed or acquired by

13




PLC that relate to the Laser Power Sources. Edwards shall have the right to periodically assess PLC’s compliance with PLC’s obligations under this section. All escrow fees shall be paid by Edwards. In the event of an escrow release, (i) PLC shall provide Edwards with training in the use of the know-how and such other assistance as is reasonably required to enable Edwards to manufacture the Laser Power Source in the manner manufactured by PLC immediately prior to the exercise of such rights by Edwards, and (ii) PLC shall transfer to Edwards at no cost to Edwards all movable assets used by PLC that are dedicated exclusively to manufacture the Laser Power Source, in order to enable Edwards to manufacture the Laser Power Source in the manner manufactured by PLC immediately prior to the exercise of such rights by Edwards.

In the event that such claim involves a claim by a third party against an Indemnified Party, the Indemnifying Party shall have 30 days after receipt of such notice to decide whether it will undertake, conduct and control, through counsel of its own choosing (but reasonably acceptable to the Indemnified Party) and at its own expense, the settlement or defense thereof unless (i) the Indemnifying Party is also a party to the proceeding and the Indemnified Party determines in good faith that joint representation would be inappropriate or (ii) the Indemnifying Party fails to provide reasonable assurance to the Indemnified Party of its financial capacity to defend such proceeding, and provide indemnification with respect thereto, and if it so decides, the Indemnified Party shall cooperate with it in connection therewith, provided that the Indemnified Party may participate in such settlement or defense through counsel chosen by it, and provided further that the fees and expenses of such counsel shall be borne by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall not, without the written consent of the Indemnified Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed), settle or compromise any action, unless such settlement or compromise includes an unconditional release of the Indemnified Party. If the Indemnifying Party does not notify the Indemnified Party within 30 days after the receipt of notice of a claim of indemnity hereunder that it elects to undertake the defense thereof, the Indemnified

17




Party shall have the right to contest, settle or compromise the claim but shall not pay or settle any such claim without the consent of the Indemnifying Party (which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed). The Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate fully in all aspects of any investigation, defense, pre-trial activities, trial, compromise, settlement or discharge of any claim in respect of which indemnity is sought pursuant to Article VII, including, but not limited to, providing the other Party with reasonable access to employees and officers (including as witnesses) and other information.

Section 8.2.   Confidential Information.   In order to avoid disclosure of confidential and proprietary information to any other person, firm or corporation, the Parties agree that each will treat any such information which is received from one another in writing and clearly marked as “Confidential” or if disclosed orally, which is confirmed in writing as “Confidential” within thirty (30) days of initial disclosure, with the same degree of care that each employs with respect to its own information which it does not desire to have published or disseminated. It is understood that each Party shall be liable for any unauthorized disclosure should it fail to safeguard the disclosed information with such care. This obligation shall survive the termination or expiration of this Agreement. The Parties shall not have any obligation with respect to such information which is:

(a)   independently developed by the receiving Party without the benefit of the disclosure or is already known to the receiving Party at the time of the disclosure;

(b)   publicly known or becomes publicly known without the wrongful act or breach of this Agreement by the receiving Party;

(c)   rightfully received by the receiving Party from a third-party who is not under any obligation of confidentiality or trade secret obligation to the originating Party;

(d)   is already known to the receiving Party at the time of the disclosure; or

(e)   is disclosed by the receiving Party with the written approval of the originating Party.

ARTICLE IX

MISCELLANEOUS

Section 9.1.   Relationship.   The relationship of Edwards and PLC established by this Agreement is of independent contractors and not agents (except as set forth in Section 2.1), and nothing in this Agreement shall be construed:

(a)   To give PLC or PLC Parent the power to direct or control the daily activities of Edwards, or vice versa, beyond the obligations imposed on Edwards and PLC, respectively, by this Agreement;

(b)   To constitute the Parties as partners, joint venturers, co-owners or otherwise as participants in joint undertaking; or

(c)   To allow either PLC or PLC Parent to create or assume any obligation on behalf of Edwards, or vice versa, for any purpose whatsoever. The purchase, promotion, and resale of, or any other legal transactions concerning Laser Power Sources hereunder shall be carried out in the name of and for the account of Edwards as principal, and Edwards shall not enter into any agreement with third persons binding in any way on PLC or PLC Parent.

Section 9.2.   No Conflict.   Each Party represents and warrants to the other Parties that it is not subject to any contractual obligation or restraint which will materially interfere with its right and ability to perform pursuant to the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9.3.   Governing Law.   This Agreement shall be governed by, interpreted under, and construed in accordance with the internal laws of the State of New York, including, without limitation, Sections 5-1401, 5-1402 of the New York General Obligations Law and New York Civil Practice Laws and Rules 327(b).

Section 9.4.   Escalation.   Edwards and PLC (and/or PLC Parent) will attempt in good faith to resolve expeditiously any dispute, claim or controversy arising out of or relating to this Agreement (the “Dispute”) promptly by negotiations between executives who have authority to settle the controversy and who are at a higher level of management than the persons with direct responsibility for the administration of this Agreement. Either Party may give the other Party, written notice (the “Escalation Notice”) of any Dispute not resolved in the normal course of business. Within 15 days after delivery of the Escalation Notice, the Party in receipt of the Escalation Notice shall submit to the other a written response. The Escalation

20




Notice and the response thereto shall include (a) a statement of each Party’s position and a summary of arguments supporting that position, and (b) the name and title of the executive who will represent that Party and of any other person who will accompany the executive. Within 30 days after delivery of the Escalation Notice, the executives of both Parties shall meet at a mutually acceptable time and place, and thereafter as often as they reasonably deem necessary, to attempt to resolve the Dispute. All reasonable requests for information made by one Party to the other will be honored. All negotiations pursuant to this clause are confidential and shall be treated as compromise and settlement negotiations for purposes of applicable rules of evidence. The Parties shall attempt to resolve any Dispute pursuant to the procedure set forth in this Section 9.4 for a period up to 60 days from the date of delivery of the Escalation Notice before resorting to other available remedies; provided, however, nothing contained in this Section 9.4 shall prevent any Party from resorting to judicial process if injunctive or other equitable relief from a court is necessary to prevent serious and irreparable injury to it or to others. The use of the procedure set forth in this Section 9.4 will not be construed under the doctrine of laches, waiver or estoppel to affect adversely any Party’s right to assert any claim or defense.

Section 9.5.   Jurisdiction and Consent to Service.   In accordance with the laws of the State of New York, and without limiting the jurisdiction or venue of any other court, the Parties (a) agree that any suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement shall be brought solely in the state or federal courts of New York; (b) consent to the exclusive jurisdiction of each such court in any suit, action or proceeding relating to or arising out of this Agreement; (c) waive any objection which any of them may have to the laying of venue in any such suit, action or proceeding in any such court; and (d) agree that service of any court paper in any such suit, action or proceeding may be made in any manner as may be provided under the applicable laws or court rules governing service of process in such court. The foregoing shall not apply to actions for injunctive relief, as to which such jurisdiction shall be non-exclusive.

Section 9.6.   Notices.   All notices, demands, requests, consents, approvals or other communications required or permitted to be given hereunder or which are given with respect to this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered (charges prepaid, receipt confirmed or return receipt requested (if available)) by hand, by nationally recognized air courier service, by certified mail or facsimile, addressed as set forth below or to such other address as such Party shall have specified most recently by written notice.
