Future Distribution Rights .
|
2.4.1
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 2.4.1 . 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 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
2.4.1 .
2.4.2
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 2.4.2 , 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 2.4.2 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 2.4.2 with respect to such Other 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 2.4.2 , 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
2.4.2 .
(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 2.4.2 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 2.4.2
.
(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 2.4.2(ii) ), either
because Den-Mat does not exercise its rights under this Section
2.4.2 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
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 2.4.2(ii) (and if more than six
(6) months have passed since Remedent last delivered the notice
contemplated by the second sentence of this Section 2.4.2 ,
also comply with each of the other provisions of this Section
2.4.2 ).
2.5.1
End of Exclusivity Period . Upon expiration or

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 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, (b) this grant shall
not include any rights to the name or trademark
‘Remedent’, and (c) Den-Mat and Remedent agree that

Exclusivity Period Remedent shall not use the name or trademark
‘GlamSmile’ in the Territory without the prior written
consent of Den-Mat. Notwithstanding anything to the
contrary in this Agreement, neither Remedent nor any B2C Market

or comparison in its marketing materials or in any advertising or
sales efforts to any Den-Mat product or trademark including, but
not limited to, LumiSmile, Lumineers, Liminate, or Lumitray,
without the prior written consent of Den-Mat. Upon
notice from Den-Mat of a violation of the foregoing, Remedent shall
have a 30-day period to cure. In the event Remedent
fails to cure such violation within thirty (30) days or in the
event of the occurrence of 5 separate violations in any 12 month
period (even if cured), Remedent shall forfeit its right to use,
and shall immediately cease and desist from any use of, the
"GlamSmile" trademark in the North American B2C Market during the
Guaranty Period. 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

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”

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 , (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, and (d) Den-Mat
and Remedent agree that Den-Mat’s right and license to use
the Intellectual Property within the Territory to the B2C Market

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 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 Exclusivity Period, except in the B2C
Market, 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.
(“SensAble”) 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.
Remedent represents and warrants to Den-Mat that Remedent is not in
default under the terms and conditions of the OEM Agreement between
SensAble and Remedent dated June 30, 2008, (the “SensAble
Agreement”) and that Remedent continues to maintain its
exclusive license from SensAble for the veneer design software
under the SensAble Agreement.
3.4.1
End of Exclusivity Period . Upon expiration or
termination of the Exclusivity 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 Exclusivity 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 compliance purposes, provided
Den-Mat shall protect and maintain the confidentiality of the
Intellectual Property retained by it to the same extent as it
protects and maintains the confidentiality of its own Intellectual
Property.

have the sole and exclusive right to apply for, prosecute and
obtain all rights, grants, registrations, orders or proprietary
interests of any nature, including, without limitation, patents,
copyrights, industrial design and trademark and service mark
registrations and any other registrations or grants of rights that
are analogous thereto in any and all countries throughout the world
in respect of Intellectual Property now owned or independently
developed by such Party after the Effective Date. In
addition, with respect to any Intellectual Property related to the
Products developed by Remedent (and not subject to Section
3.5.2 ), Remedent, in its sole discretion at its own cost and
expense may apply for, prosecute and obtain all rights, grants,
registrations, orders or proprietary interests of any nature,
including, without limitation, patents, copyrights, industrial
design and trademark and service mark registrations and any other
registrations or grants of rights that are analogous thereto in any
and all countries throughout the world, in each case as reasonably
requested by Den-Mat, and take such other actions as Den-Mat may
reasonably request to protect such Intellectual
Property. In the event Remedent fails to take any action
reasonably requested by Den-Mat as described in the preceding
sentence: (a) Den-Mat may take such action, (b) Remedent hereby
authorizes Den-Mat to take any such action in its name, (c)
Remedent shall provide such assistance as Den-Mat may reasonably
request in connection therewith, (d) Den-Mat shall be reimbursed

received by Remedent or Den-Mat with respect to such Intellectual
Property in the territory covered by such rights, grants,
registration orders or proprietary interests, (e) Remedent shall be
reimbursed for the costs and expenses incurred by it in connection
with providing cooperation to Den-Mat related to obtaining such
rights, grants, registration orders or proprietary interests as a
second priority payment from any sale, license fees, royalties,
proceeds of infringement actions or other amounts received by
Remedent or Den-Mat with respect to such Intellectual Property in
the territory covered by such rights, grants, registration orders
or proprietary interests, (f) each of Den-Mat and Remedent shall
take such actions as the other may reasonably request to implement
the provisions of this Section 3.5.1 with respect to any
particular Intellectual Property and (g) the rights, grants,
registration orders or proprietary interests so obtained shall be
jointly owned by Remedent and Den-Mat.
3.5.2
Jointly Arising Intellectual Property . In the
event the Parties jointly develop any Intellectual Property related
to the Products for which a patent or copyright would be available,
and if either Remedent or Den-Mat desires to pursue a patent or
copyright on such Intellectual Property in any jurisdiction, then
the Party who desires to pursue such patent or copyright (in this
capacity, the “ Filing Party ”), shall deliver a
notice (a “ Notice of Intent to File ”) to the
other Party identifying the subject Intellectual Property, whether
the filing will be for a patent or copyright and the jurisdiction
in which such filing will be made. The Party receiving
such Notice of Intent to File may then elect to participate in such
filing, in which case it shall cooperate with the Filing Party in
connection with such filing and the subsequent prosecution thereof
and share the related costs and expenses evenly with the Filing
Party. If the Party receiving such Notice of Intent to
File does not deliver to the Filing Party a notice that it elects
to participate in such filing and prosecution within thirty (30)
days after receiving such Notice of Intent to File, the Filing
Party may proceed with such filing and prosecution
individually. If a Filing Party proceeds with such a
filing and prosecution individually: (a) the other Party hereby
authorizes the Filing Party to identify such Party as a co-owner of
the subject Intellectual Property and a co-holder of the rights
filed for, (b) the other Party shall provide such assistance as the
Filing Party may reasonably request in connection therewith, (c)
the Filing Party shall be reimbursed for the costs and expenses
incurred by it in connection with such filing and prosecution as a
priority payment from any sale, license fees, royalties, proceeds
of infringement actions or other amounts received by Remedent or
Den-Mat with respect to such Intellectual Property in the territory
covered by such patent or copyright, (d) the Filing Party shall be
reimbursed for the costs and expenses incurred by it in connection
with providing cooperation as a second priority payment from any
sale, license fees, royalties, proceeds of infringement actions or
other amounts received by Remedent or Den-Mat with respect to such
Intellectual Property in the territory covered by such patent or
copyright, (e) each of Den-Mat and Remedent shall take such actions
as the other may reasonably request to implement the provisions of
this Section 3.5.2 with respect to such Intellectual
Property and (f) the patents or copyrights so obtained shall be
jointly owned by Remedent and Den-Mat. In order to avoid
future misunderstandings, the Parties agree that any Intellectual
Property related to upgrading the Tray shall be deemed to be
jointly developed Intellectual Property for all
purposes.
Remedent hereby grants to
Den-Mat the non-exclusive worldwide right to manufacture and
produce the Products or have the Products manufactured and produced
for Den-Mat.
Upon termination of this
Agreement, Den-Mat shall cease having the right to manufacture
Products. For purposes of clarity, termination of the
Exclusivity Period separate from the termination of this Agreement
