brought against Reseller in the Territory based on a claim that any of the Products, as furnished

by NeuroSky under the Agreement, infringes or misappropriates any rights of third parties

arising under copyright or trade secret law. NeuroSky will pay all settlements and damages

finally awarded therein against Reseller; provided that Reseller (a) shall have made all payments

conditions and provisions of the Agreement; (c) shall have given prompt written notice to NeuroSky

of any claim of infringement and furnished NeuroSky with all papers received in connection

defend against any such suit at the cost and expense of NeuroSky. If the use or sale of any

Products is permanently enjoined or a final judgment awarding damages is entered against

use or combination of Product with products or data not provided by NeuroSky, (iii) use of other

than the latest unmodified release of the Software made available to Reseller by NeuroSky if

Product after Reseller receives notice, or has reason to believe, that Product infringes a patent,

copyright or trademark of a third party.

PROPERTY RIGHTS INFRINGEMENT BY ANY PRODUCT FURNISHED UNDER THE

AGREEMENT, AND IS RESELLER’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO

CLAIMS THERETO.

10.2 Indemnification by Reseller. Reseller shall indemnify NeuroSky and hold

NeuroSky, its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, insurers, attorneys, successors and

acts or omissions of Reseller, its employees, representatives or agents, in connection with their

activities under the Agreement.

of the Products, sales and marketing plans, blueprints, techniques, processes, procedures and

formulae, price lists, specifications, prints, Product plans and marketing plans, customer lists,

business forecasts, procurement requirements and purchasing and manufacturing information

keep in confidence all such Confidential Information, and shall not use such Confidential

Information without NeuroSky’s written consent, except in performance of its duties hereunder;

provided, that with respect to any algorithms, source code or firmware disclosed hereunder, the

obligations of confidentiality shall extend indefinitely, subject to the exclusions below. Reseller

will not disclose the Confidential Information to any person except its employees or consultants

to whom it is necessary to disclose the Confidential Information for such purposes. Reseller

agrees that the Confidential Information will be disclosed or made available only to those of its

employees or consultants who have agreed to receive it under terms at least as restrictive as

those specified in the Agreement.

12.2 Reseller will take reasonable measures to maintain the confidentiality of the

Confidential Information, but not less than the measures it uses to protect its confidential

information of similar type. Reseller will immediately give notice to NeuroSky of any

unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information. Reseller agrees to assist

NeuroSky in remedying such unauthorized use or disclosure of the Confidential Information.

This obligation will not apply to the extent that Reseller can demonstrate:

public domain;

(b) the disclosed information became part of the public domain, by

publication or otherwise, except by breach of the provisions of the Agreement;

have been in the possession of Reseller at the time of disclosure; or

by a government agency to further the objectives of the Agreement, such as to obtain

permission to distribute the Product, or by a proper court of competent jurisdiction; provided,

however, that Reseller will use its best efforts to minimize the disclosure of such information

and will consult with and assist NeuroSky in obtaining a protective order prior or confidential

treatment to such disclosure.

receipt. All communications must be sent to the receiving party’s addresses as set forth in the

Agreement or to such other address that the receiving party may have provided for purpose of

notice, in a manner provided in this Section:

16.14 Allocation of Risk. The sections on limitations of liability, disclaimer of

warranties and warranties allocate the risks in the Agreement between the parties. This

allocation is reflected in the pricing of the Products and is an essential element of the basis of

the Agreement.

16.15 Relationship of the Parties. The parties to the Agreement are independent

contractors. There is no relationship of agency, partnership, joint venture, employment, or

franchise between the parties in any way. Neither party nor its employees has the authority to

bind or commit the other party in any way or to incur any obligation on its behalf.

16.16 Assignment. NeuroSky may assign the Agreement to any person to whom it

transfers all or substantially all of its proprietary rights in the Products. Otherwise, neither party

may assign, voluntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, any rights or delegate any duties

under the Agreement without the other party’s prior written consent, and any attempt to do so

without that consent will be void. The Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties

and their respective successors and permitted assigns.

16.17 Arbitration. Except with respect to claims for a breach of any intellectual

property-related rights hereunder, any dispute between NeuroSky and Reseller under the

Agreement involving its interpretation or the obligations of a party hereto, shall be determined

by binding arbitration conducted in English. Arbitration shall be held in accordance with the

Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) in the City of San Jose, State of

California of the United States. Arbitration may be conducted by one (1) attorney arbitrator by

mutual agreement or by three (3) arbitrators if the parties are unable to agree on a single

arbitrator within thirty (30) days of first demand for arbitration. All arbitrators are to be selected

from a panel provided by the AAA. If a three-arbitrator panel is necessary, the chairman and

one other arbitrator shall be attorneys-at-law, and the third arbitrator shall have a background or

training in either computer law, computer science, computer engineering, or marketing of

computer-industry products. The arbitrators shall have the authority to permit discovery, to the

extent deemed appropriate by the arbitrators, upon request of a party. The arbitrators shall

have no power or authority to add to or detract from the agreements of the parties. The costs

of the arbitration shall be borne equally pending the arbitrator’s award. The arbitrator shall

have the authority to grant any temporary, preliminary, or permanent injunctive or other

equitable relief in a substantially similar form, that would otherwise be granted by a court. The

arbitrators shall have no authority to award punitive or consequential damages. The resulting

arbitration award may be enforced by all lawful remedies, including without limitation injunctive

or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction. The trial courts of the County of

Santa Clara, State of California, and the United States District Court for the Northern District of

California are courts of competent jurisdiction. The parties agree to submit to the jurisdiction of

those courts, as applicable, for all purposes concerning any arbitration.

16.18 Survival. The sections of the Agreement that, by their terms, are intended to

survive termination of the Agreement will survive any termination of this Agreement.
