LICENSEE has contributed its own confidential information and know-how toward development of a printhead configuration unique to LICENSEE’s printhead.
1.3 LICENSEE desires to continue to purchase from RICOH printheads, subassemblies thereof and/or related electronics and requires the use of the confidential information and trade secrets of RICOH to assemble the printheads, subassemblies and/or electronics into an ink jet printing device and to operate and use the ink jet printing device of LICENSEE’s own design in the Field of Use defined in Appendix A.
1.4 RICOH, rather than selling the ink jet printer, is willing to continue to sell Printhead(s) (as defined below), subassemblies and/or electronics for each printing device along with a license to use certain RICOH confidential information and trade secrets in connection with said Printhead(s), subassemblies and/or electronics to enable LICENSEE to continue to assemble, operate and use such items in the printing device.

25.5 Non-Waiver of Default. Any waiver by either party of the breach or default of any of the terms or conditions of this Agreement by the other party contemporaneous or subsequent breach or default, whether the same as or similar to will not be considered as a continuing waiver or a waiver of any other prior, or different from, the breach or default waived.

In the event RICOH refuses to deliver Printheads to fulfill previously accepted orders from LICENSEE as set forth in the paragraph immediately preceding, or the necessary export or re-export authorizations are not obtained within a reasonable period of time, RICOH, at its option, may cancel the order or contract, without penalty.
LICENSEE shall not use, sell, transfer or otherwise make available any goods/technology to be supplied by RICOH and/or its information under this Agreement to any firm(s), any corporation(s), and/or any person(s) that are related to the research and development of unlawful manufacturing and use of ordinary, nuclear, chemical, biological weapons and/or missile technology.

APPENDIX A
LICENSED PRODUCTS & FIELDS OF USE
The LICENSED PRODUCT shall be a fully integrated, self-contained, stand-alone machine, system or apparatus for producing three-dimensional objects from the accumulation of overlaid droplets of a curable medium, liquid at room temperature, including at least one PRINTHEAD, provided, however, a machine, system or apparatus shall not be excluded from meeting the “fully integrated, self-contained, stand-alone” limitation of the term “LICENSED PRODUCT” solely because the source of the data input is external thereto and not part thereof.
The FIELD OF USE shall mean and include only the producing of solid (including wholly or partially hollow), three-dimensional objects capable of being free-standing, as typically produced in the field of rapid prototyping and manufacturing, such as models, tools and prototypes, including the accumulation of at least two (2) consecutive layers of overlaid droplets of a curable medium liquid at room temperature. For avoidance of doubt, Field of Use does not include deposition of droplets onto a substrate to which droplets must remain bonded, including, for example, depositing layers onto printed circuit boards, integrated circuits, financial instruments, labels, textiles, and business forms.
APPENDIX B
