or embodies certain confidential information of Supplier relating to Supplier’s business, plans,
customers, services, technology, trade secrets, products or other information held in confidence by
Supplier (“Confidential Information”). Confidential Information will include all information in
tangible or intangible form that is marked or designated as confidential or that, under the
circumstances of its disclosure, should be considered confidential. Distributor agrees that it
will not use in any way except as expressly permitted by, or required to achieve the purposes of,
this Agreement, nor disclose to any third party (except as required by law) the Confidential
Information and will take reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of such
information, which precautions, in any event, will be at least as stringent as it takes to protect
its own Confidential Information.
4.3 Use of Intellectual Property. Distributor will use the Trademarks in the form and
the manner designated in writing by Supplier as Supplier may establish from time to time.
Distributor shall attribute ownership of the Trademarks to Supplier, in a form approved by
Supplier, in connection with Distributor’s use of the Trademarks on any web
D-5
site or in any printed materials distributed publicly. The quality of services provided by
Distributor for which the Trademarks are associated must equal or exceed the quality of services
currently provided by Supplier and meet other standards set by Supplier from time to time. Upon
reasonable request, Supplier may inspect Distributor’s business operations for which the Trademarks
are used for conformance to Supplier’s standard of quality. If Distributor fails to meet
Supplier’s requirements for use of the Trademarks or uses one or more of the Trademarks improperly,
Supplier will provide written notice to Distributor and may terminate the license with respect to
such xxxx unless Distributor cures the deficiency within 30 days of receipt of such notice. Any
goodwill arising as a result of the use by Distributor of the Trademarks shall inure to the benefit
of Supplier. Supplier agrees that if it makes changes to the brand identity it will assist the
Distributor in rebranding the Product in the Territory. This assistance will include reprinting of
collateral material, sales material and the like. Supplier acknowledges that a suit has been filed
against it on the DGPS patent claimed to be owned by GPS Industries, Inc. The Supplier agrees that
it will defend, indemnify and hold harmless the Distributor from and against any claim to the
extent that it asserts that a Product supplied by or for Supplier to Distributor or a method
performed by such Product infringes a valid claim or claims of a patent owned by GPS Industries.
If, as a result of any claim of infringement, damages are awarded against Distributor for the use
of the Products or the methods they are built to perform, Supplier agrees to pay such damages. If
an injunction is issued that precludes Distributor from using Products, Supplier will repurchase
the infringing Products or render such Product non-infringing, provide Distributor with
non-infringing Product, or return the payment that Distributor has made to Supplier or dealer for
that product less a reasonable amount for prior use Distributor has made of the Product.
For indemnification to be effective, the Distributor must do the following: (1) give Supplier
prompt written notice and a copy of the claim, (2) give Supplier written authority to appoint legal
counsel, at Distributor’s sole cost and expense, to answer and defend the claim, and (3) give
Supplier prompt and reasonable assistance, at Distributor’s sole cost and expense, when requested
for defense of the claim. Distributor may participate in the defense of the claim through counsel
of its choosing at its sole cost and expense, however Supplier’s counsel would be lead counsel and
Distributor agrees that it would enter into a co-counsel agreement to that effect.
4.4 Protection of Intellectual Property. Distributor agrees that it will not register
the Intellectual Property in the Territory or take any actions that would adversely affect
Supplier’s rights in the Intellectual Property.
