("MMB") at the time the parties entered into such Asset Purchase Agreement, DATARAM purchased certain assets from MMB (the "MMB Asset Purchase Agreement"). WHEREAS, David Sheerr, the sole shareholder of MMB, and DATARAM entered into an employment agreement dated March 31, 2009 in connection with the MMB Asset Purchase Agreement (the "Sheerr Employment Agreement"). WHEREAS, SHEERR desires to sell to DATARAM, and DATARAM desires to purchase from SHEERR, certain memory products on a consignment sale basis.

In addition, SHEERR shall have the right from time to time after receiving a Product Acquisition Request from DATARAM to request that DATARAM provide SHEERR with a Product different than the one specified in the Product Acquisition Request to acquire and consign to DATARAM under this Agreement. If DATARAM receives such a request from SHEERR, DATARAM shall use reasonable good faith efforts to provide SHEERR with a different Product to acquire and consign to DATARAM under this Agreement.

The "Consigned Inventory Commitment Amount" shall mean an amount equal to the sum of (A) $1,000,000 plus (B) seventy percent (70%) of the Cumulative Earn Out Payments (as defined below).

This Agreement may not be modified except by a written instrument duly executed by the parties hereto. 9.2 Section headings are provided for convenience of reference and do not constitute part of this Agreement. Any references to a particular section of this Agreement shall be deemed to include reference to any and all subsections thereof. 9.3 If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions will continue in full force without being impaired or invalidated in any way. The parties agree to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement will be effective unless it is in writing and signed by the party against which it is sought to be enforced. The delay or failure by either party to exercise or enforce any of its rights under this Agreement is not a waiver of that party's right to later enforce those rights, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude any other or further exercise of these rights or any other right. 9.4 If any part of this Agreement shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall not be affected or impaired thereby and shall be enforced to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law. If any remedy set forth in this Agreement is determined to have failed of its essential purpose, then all other provisions of this Agreement shall remain in full force and effect. 9.5. Neither party may assign or delegate any or all of its rights (other than the right to receive payments) or its duties or obligations hereunder without the consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; provided, however, that either party may assign this Agreement, without the need to obtain consent of the other party, to an affiliate of such party or to a successor in interest to substantially all of the business of that party to which this Agreement relates. An assignee of either party authorized hereunder shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement and shall have all of the rights and obligations of the assigning party set forth in this Agreement. 9.6 "Confidential Information" shall mean any information obtained by one party from or with respect to the other party under or in connection with this Agreement and shall include, but shall not be limited to, any information obtained by one party with respect to the other party's research, product plans, products, services, clients, markets, software, inventions, designs, processes, marketing plans, or finances. Information will not, however, be considered to be Confidential Information if it (a) is already, or otherwise becomes, publicly known by third parties as a result of no act or omission of the receiving party; (b) is lawfully received, after disclosure hereunder, from a third party having the right to disseminate the information without restriction on disclosure; (c) is furnished to others by the disclosing party without restriction on disclosure; or (d) can be shown by the receiving party to have been independently developed by such party prior to the execution of this Agreement. Both during and after the term of this Agreement, each of the parties agrees (a) to use commercially reasonable efforts to protect the Confidential Information of the other party from unauthorized use or disclosure and to use at least the same degree of care with regard thereto as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a like nature; (b) to use and reproduce the Confidential Information of the other party only as permitted under this Agreement or as needed to perform its duties hereunder; and (c) not to disclose or otherwise permit access to the Confidential Information of the other party to any third party, without the other party's prior written consent. The parties agree that any breach by either party or any of its officers, directors, or employees, of any provisions of this Section may cause immediate and irreparable injury to the other party and that, in the event of such breach, the injured party will be entitled to seek injunctive relief as well as any and all other remedies available at law or in equity. 9.7 If an ambiguity or question of intent arises with respect to any provision of this Agreement, the Agreement will be construed as if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or burden of proof will arise favoring or disfavoring either party by virtue of authorship of any of the provisions of this Agreement. 9.8 Either party shall be excused from performance and shall not be liable for any delay in whole or in part, caused by the occurrence of any contingency beyond the reasonable control either of the excused party or its subcontractors or suppliers including, but not limited to, war, sabotage, insurrection, riot or other act of civil disobedience, act of public enemy, failure or delay in transportation, act of any government or any agency or subdivision thereof affecting the terms hereof, accident, fire, explosion, flood, severe weather or other act of God, or shortage of labor or fuel or raw material. 9.9 This Agreement shall be deemed to have been made in, and shall be construed pursuant to the laws of, the State of New Jersey without regard to its conflicts of laws provisions. 9.10 This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which shall be taken together and deemed to be one instrument. Signatures delivered by telecopier or other electronic device shall be binding and enforceable against the party as if an original signed counterpart had been delivered.
