interest in
17
CONFORMED COPY OF EXECUTION ORIGINAL
------------------------------------
the Territory such as, inter alia, know-how and common law trademarks shall
hereafter be referred to as "Intellectual Property"). Hakuto is hereby granted a
license and privilege to use all of the Intellectual Property, including any
improvements, modifications or functional equivalents, during the term of this
Agreement in furtherance of the objectives of this Agreement. Hakuto shall not
have the right to sublicense (except to Hakuto's subsidiaries and affiliates)
the Intellectual Property or otherwise permit its use by third parties without
Emcore's prior written consent. If Hakuto is required by law to register its
licenses in Japan or, in its sole discretion, determines that registration
hereof should be effected in order to protect the rights and interests of Hakuto
hereunder, then Emcore shall cooperate with Hakuto to effect the same.
10.2 HAKUTO COOPERATION. Hakuto shall advise Emcore from time to time
of any additional filings, registrations or other actions that may be necessary
or desirable for the protection of Emcore's Intellectual Property in the
Territory. Upon Emcore's request, Hakuto shall assist Emcore in connection with
the issuance or registration of any new Emcore patents, copyrights, trademarks
or other Intellectual Property in the Territory.
10.3 INFRINGEMENT. Hakuto shall at all times respect and protect
Emcore's rights of total ownership of the Intellectual Property in the
Territory. Hakuto shall promptly notify Emcore of any infringements of such
rights of which Hakuto has notice and shall assist Emcore in taking such action
against such infringement as Emcore may elect.
10.4 TERMINATION OF LICENSE. Upon termination of this Agreement for any
reason, Hakuto shall promptly relinquish to Emcore any rights to the use of the
Intellectual Property and shall thereafter refrain from using the same.
10.5 INFRINGEMENT INDEMNIFICATION. If Hakuto or its customers are
served notice of alleged infringement of any patents, designs, copyrights and/or
trademarks arising from the sale or use of any of the Products, Emcore shall, at
its own expense and with diligence, defend and hold Hakuto and its customers
free and harmless from and against any and all claims, loss, damage, suits,
causes of action and/or liability (and against all associated costs and
expenses, including, without limitation, reasonable attorneys' fees and costs of
litigation) whenever and wherever they
18
CONFORMED COPY OF EXECUTION ORIGINAL
------------------------------------
may occur, on account of said alleged infringement; provided, however, that
Emcore shall have no obligation to indemnify Hakuto or its customers to the
extent the alleged infringement is due solely to: (a) a Product modification by
Hakuto or the customer; (b) use of a Product in combination with any other
device or thing; or (c) failure to use the Product in accordance with its
customary use or in conformity with Emcore's instructions and operating
guidelines. If Emcore shall fail or refuse to do so, Hakuto and its customers
may take such action as Hakuto or its customer, or jointly, may deem necessary,
and all costs, attorneys' fees, losses or damages as may be incurred by Hakuto
or its customers shall be the obligation of Emcore to be recovered by Hakuto or
its customers by suit or otherwise.
10.6 QUALITY CONTROL. In connection with any use hereunder by Hakuto of
any registered or unregistered trademark owned by Emcore, Emcore shall have the
right at all times to: (a) establish and require Hakuto's adherence to quality
control standards governing the repair, sale and quality of the Products; and
(b) establish and require Hakuto's adherence to standards governing the manner
of display of any Emcore trademark in promotional, technical and informational
materials. Emcore shall have the right to request, at reasonable intervals,
inspection by Emcore or its designee of Hakuto's operations and of any materials
used or created by Hakuto displaying any Emcore trademark, so that Emcore can
verify to its satisfaction that the Products, services and display of trademarks
conform to the appropriate standard of quality.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each party hereto when receiving information from the other
party (in such case, a "Receiving Party") agrees to use its best efforts to hold
in strict confidence and not to disclose to others or use, for a period of three
years after termination hereof, any technical or business information,
manufacturing technique, process, experimental work, trade secret or other
confidential matter relating to the business of the party in possession of such
information (such party, a "Disclosing Party") or relating to the Products, in
the case of Hakuto, or the other party's business ("Confidential Information"),
except to the extent necessary to further the objectives of this Agreement. This
SECTION 11 shall not apply to: (1) information known to the Receiving Party
prior to disclosure by the Disclosing Party of Confidential Information; (2)

termination of this Agreement without request), deliver to the Receiving Party
any and all drawings, notes, documents and materials received from the Receiving

be null and void.
