Notwithstanding the foregoing, LICENSEE's obligations to LICENSOR under Sections 3.1, 3.2, 4.6, 4.7, 4.8, 6.1, 6.2, 7.2, 8.5, 10.2, 10.4, 12.1, and Articles 13 and 14 shall survive any termination or expiration of this Agreement. 11 EVENTS OF DEFAULT AND REMEDIES. 11.1 Events of Default. Each of the following events shall constitute an "Event of Default" under this Agreement: 11.1.1 (a) A party's material breach or material failure to punctually perform any of its duties and obligations under this Agreement, which material breach or failure, if curable, remains uncured for thirty (30) days after written notice of such breach or failure is received by the breaching party; or (b) a material misrepresentation is made by a party in any representation or warranty contained in this Agreement and the misrepresented facts or circumstances, if curable, remain uncured thirty (30) days after written notice of such misrepresentation is received by the breaching party; and, in either case, if such breach or misrepresentation is not curable, termination shall occur thirty (30) days after such misrepresentation or breach at the option of the non-breaching party; or 11.1.2 The failure by a party upon request to provide the other party with adequate assurances of its performance of all obligations under this Agreement upon: (a) such first party's filing of a voluntary petition in bankruptcy; (b) the filing of any involuntary petition to have such first party declared bankrupt which has not been dismissed within ninety (90) days of its filing; (c) the appointment of a receiver or trustee for such first party which has not been rescinded within ninety (90) days of the date of such appointment; or (d) such first party otherwise becoming insolvent or otherwise making an assignment for the benefit of creditors. 11.2 Default by a Party. If there occurs an Event of Default with respect to a party, the other party may: (a) seek damages; and/or (b) seek an injunction or an order for mandatory or specific performance; and/or (c) terminate this Agreement and the licenses granted to LICENSEE hereunder whereupon the non-defaulting party shall have no further obligations under this Agreement except those which expressly survive termination. 12 CONFIDENTIALITY. 12.1 Confidential Information. (a) LICENSEE agrees for itself, its sublicensees, and their employees and agents that for twenty (20) years from the later of the Effective Date of this Agreement or the latest date of its receipt of information disclosed to LICENSEE by LICENSOR pursuant to this Agreement, such information shall be held in confidence; provided, however, there shall be no obligation to treat as confidential information which is or becomes available to the public other than through a breach of this obligation, or which was already possessed by LICENSEE in writing (or otherwise provable to be in the possession of LICENSEE) prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement (and was not received from LICENSOR) or which is shown by LICENSEE to have been received by it from a third party who had the legal right to so disclose it without restrictions and without breach of any agreement with LICENSOR or its licensees. The burden of proving the availability of any exception of confidentiality shall be on the LICENSEE. LICENSOR shall affix an appropriate legend on all written documentation given to LICENSEE which contains confidential information. LICENSEE acknowledges that the list of patent applications contained on Schedule A shall be deemed to be confidential information. Other than for the oral information conveyed during the training conducted pursuant to Sections 8.2 and 8.3 hereof, if any, all of which shall be deemed to be confidential information, if confidential information is otherwise conveyed orally by LICENSOR after training has been completed, LICENSOR shall specify to LICENSEE at the time such information is being conveyed (or in a subsequent letter referring to the conversation) that the information conveyed is confidential. It is understood and agreed that, unless otherwise provided in a separate agreement between LICENSEE and LICENSOR, LICENSEE has no obligation hereunder to provide LICENSOR with any confidential or proprietary information, and that LICENSOR shall have no obligation hereunder to LICENSEE to maintain in confidence or refrain from commercial or other use of any information which LICENSOR is or becomes aware of under this Agreement. The terms and provisions of this Agreement or any other agreement between the parties shall not be considered confidential, and the parties hereto acknowledge that, pursuant to the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and the regulations promulgated thereunder, LICENSOR may file copies of this Agreement with the Securities and Exchange Commission and with NASDAQ and with any other stock exchange on which LICENSOR's securities may be listed. LICENSEE agrees that for the period of time during which LICENSEE is obligated to keep Technical Information confidential hereunder, LICENSEE will not make, use, sell, lease or otherwise dispose of products using or directly or indirectly derived from confidential information or sample materials supplied to LICENSEE by LICENSOR or its licensees, sublicensees, or any of their affiliates relating to Light Valve Film, SPD Emulsions or Light Valves or which otherwise comprise suspended particles, which when subjected to a suitable electric or magnetic field, orient to produce a change in the optical characteristics of the suspension ("SPD Technology") unless an agreement between LICENSOR and LICENSEE permitting it to do so is in full force and effect and the royalties, if any, provided in such agreement are being paid to LICENSOR on such products. The foregoing restriction shall not apply to products (i) which do not directly or indirectly incorporate SPD Technology, such as, but not limited to, liquid crystal devices, electrochromic devices, or similar technology, or (ii) which incorporate technology involving suspended particles, which when subjected to a suitable electric or magnetic field, orient to produce a change in the optical characteristics of the suspension but which is independently developed and which is not in any way directly or indirectly derived from any Technical Information of LICENSOR or its licensees, sublicensees, or any of their affiliates. LICENSEE shall have the burden of proving by clear and convincing evidence that the availability of any exception of confidentiality exists or that the foregoing restrictions do not apply to a particular product. Nothing contained in this section, however, shall be construed as granting LICENSEE any rights or licenses with respect to any Technical Information or patents of LICENSOR or its other licensees or their sublicensees. (b) LICENSEE will have the right to provide materials to, and to disclose information of LICENSOR to a subcontractor relating to this Agreement; provided, however, that LICENSEE shall only disclose such information as is strictly necessary to enable said subcontractor to perform its manufacturing task, and provided that prior to disclosing any information to said subcontractor, said subcontractor has signed a secrecy agreement with LICENSEE at least as protective of LICENSOR's Technical Information as the provisions of this Agreement, including, without limitation, said subcontractor's specific agreement to be bound by the provisions of Section 12.1 hereof to the same extent as LICENSEE. For such purposes, LICENSEE may develop a standard form of secrecy agreement for LICENSOR's approval, after which LICENSEE may use such secrecy agreement with all subcontractors without LICENSOR's prior approval of the secrecy agreement being necessary. LICENSEE shall have all subcontractors sign said secrecy agreement prior to the disclosure of Technical Information to said subcontractor, and LICENSEE shall send LICENSOR a copy of every such secrecy agreement within thirty (30) days after the execution thereof. 13 WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS. 13.1 Reciprocal Representations.

Nothing, however, shall preclude either party from thereafter moving to unseal its own records or to have matter and information designated as confidential under any relevant protective order designated otherwise in accordance with the circumstances as they shall appear at that time. 14.3 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is declared or found to be illegal, unenforceable or void, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to agree upon a substitute provision that is legal and enforceable and is as nearly as possible consistent with the intentions underlying the original provision. If the remainder of this Agreement is not materially affected by such declaration or finding and is capable of substantial performance, then the remainder shall be enforced to the extent permitted by law. 14.4 Waiver. Unless agreed to by the parties in writing to the contrary, the failure of either party to insist in any one or more instances upon the strict performance of any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement, or to exercise any right contained in this Agreement or provided by law, shall not constitute or be construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the performance of such provision or right or the right subsequently to demand such strict performance or exercise of such right, and the rights and obligations of the parties shall continue unchanged and remain in full force and effect. 14.5 Captions. The captions and headings in this Agreement are inserted for convenience and reference only and in no way define or limit the scope or content of this Agreement and shall not affect the interpretation of its provisions. 14.6 Assignment.
