Item 8.01.  Other Events.

Effective July 31, 2007, Ricochet Networks, Inc. (“RNI”), a wholly owned subsidiary of Terabeam, Inc., entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement (the “APA”) with Civitas Wireless Solutions, LLC and Judi A. Evans.  Ms. Evans is the President, Chief Executive Officer, and majority equity owner of Civitas and had been the President of RNI from December 2005 until July 31, 2007.

Pursuant to the APA, RNI sold to Civitas generally its assets relating to the operation of the Ricochet® wireless network in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area.  In return, RNI received (a) the assumption by Civitas generally of obligations relating to the operation of the Ricochet® wireless network in the Denver, Colorado metropolitan area, (b) a cash payment of $200,000, (c) 15% equity ownership of Civitas, and (d) potential future payments contingent on certain future potential business of Civitas.  RNI generally retained the obligations relating to the operation of the Ricochet® network in the San Diego, California metropolitan area, the operation of which RNI discontinued on July 31, 2007. The APA also contemplated the termination of substantially all of RNI’s employees and the hiring of those employees by Civitas.

In December 2006, RNI had transferred substantially all of its patents, trademarks, copyrights, service marks, and other intellectual property to Terabeam and received a license to use that intellectual property in the conduct of RNI’s business.  A condition to closing the transactions contemplated by the APA was Terabeam’s entering into two agreements with Civitas, also effective July 31, 2007, relating to that former RNI intellectual property.  Pursuant to an Intellectual Property Transfer and License Agreement, Terabeam transferred to Civitas all of the non-patent intellectual property that had been transferred by RNI to Terabeam in December 2006.  Also in that agreement, Civitas granted back to Terabeam and its subsidiaries a transferable license, with right to sublicense, to use that transferred intellectual property to the extent necessary to perform any remaining obligations of RNI and generally in other manners (with the general license not covering any transferred trademarks, trademark applications, domain names, or service marks).

Pursuant to a License Agreement, Terabeam granted Civitas a license generally to use the patents and patent applications that had been transferred to Terabeam by RNI to provide high-speed (data rates below 500 Kbps) wireless Internet connectivity service to subscribers using Civitas’ proprietary microcellular digital radio communications network in the metropolitan Denver, Colorado geographic area and in other specified United States metropolitan areas where RNI’s equipment had previously been deployed but only as necessary for Civitas to continue and conduct the normal business of RNI substantially as previously conducted by RNI.

Also as a condition to closing the transactions contemplated by the APA, Civitas and Proxim Wireless Corporation, a different wholly owned subsidiary of Terabeam, entered into a Product Purchase Agreement, effective July 31, 2007, pursuant to which Civitas is authorized to purchase Proxim’s broadband wireless equipment for Civitas’ own use and resale in the United States.  In that agreement, for a period of six months from July 31, 2007, Civitas agreed to purchase from Proxim its entire requirements for wireless broadband products with substantially similar functionality as Proxim’s products in return for discounted pricing from Proxim.

The foregoing description of the Asset Purchase Agreement, the Intellectual Property Transfer and License Agreement, and the License Agreement does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the terms and conditions of the Asset Purchase Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 99.1, the Intellectual Property Transfer and License Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 99.2, and the License Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit 99.3, which are incorporated herein by reference.

(a)           “Assets” shall mean all of the assets of Seller (other than the Excluded Assets), each to the extent transferable.

(b)           “Assumed Contracts” shall mean all contracts, agreements, and other understandings of Seller, verbal or written, to which Seller is a party or by which Seller is bound or to which any of its assets or properties is subject that was entered into or came into effect on or before the Closing (as defined below); provided, however, the following shall not constitute or be a part of the Assumed Contracts:  (i) this Agreement; (ii) the Transaction Documents (as defined below); and (iii) any contracts, agreements or other understandings related to the Excluded Liabilities.

(c)           “Assumed Liabilities” shall mean all indebtedness, liabilities and obligations of Seller (other than the Excluded Liabilities) of any nature, kind, character or description whatsoever, arising from or due to actions or omissions occurring before or on the Closing, specifically including, without limitation, all obligations and responsibilities arising from or due to the Assumed Contracts (whether such obligations and responsibilities arise before or after the Closing).




(d)           “Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement” shall mean the Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement, in form and content substantially similar to Exhibit 1(d) hereto, to be signed and delivered at the Closing.

(i)           “Other IP Assets” shall mean the assets, ownership rights and licenses which are owned by Terabeam and which are being licensed or conveyed to Buyer at the Closing pursuant to the IP Assignment or the License Agreement.

(i)           “Terabeam” shall mean Terabeam, Inc., a Delaware corporation which owns all of the outstanding stock of Seller.

2.           PURCHASE OF ASSETS AND TRANSFER OF LIABILITIES.

(a)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, at the Closing, Buyer shall purchase and acquire, and Seller or Terabeam shall sell, assign, convey, and transfer, the Assets and the Other IP Assets.  Such purchase and sale shall be evidenced by the Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement, the IP Assignment and the License Agreement.

(b)           Upon the terms and subject to the conditions of this Agreement, Buyer, at and following the Closing, shall assume, perform, pay, and be responsible for the Assumed Liabilities.  Buyer shall not assume or be responsible for the Excluded Liabilities.  Such assumption shall be evidenced by the Bill of Sale and Assignment and Assumption Agreement.  It is expressly the intent of the parties that, from and after the Closing, Seller shall have no liabilities or obligations whatsoever except for (i) the Excluded Liabilities, (ii) liabilities and obligations arising under this Agreement and agreements contemplated herein to which Seller is a party, and (iii) liabilities and obligations created and undertaken by Seller after the Closing.

3.           PURCHASE PRICE AND ALLOCATION.

(a)           In addition to the assumption of the Assumed Liabilities, the consideration to Seller for the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (the “Purchase Price”) shall be (i) Two Hundred Thousand Dollars ($200,000); (ii) 300,000 membership units in Buyer (the

- 2 -


Units”), which constitutes fifteen percent (15%) of the fully-diluted equity of Buyer as of the Closing; and (iii) the consideration described in Schedule 3(a).

(c)           On the Closing and upon Seller’s execution of a counterpart signature page to the Operating Agreement of Buyer in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3(c)(i) (the “Operating Agreement”), Buyer shall deliver a membership certificate evidencing 300,000 Units in Buyer to Seller.  The parties shall execute a side letter substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 3(c)(ii) (the “Side Letter”) which shall grant to Seller (i) anti-dilution protection for any subsequent equity (including securities convertible into equity) offerings of Buyer for the first year following the Closing in which (A) the gross proceeds received by Buyer are less than One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) or (B) the gross proceeds received by Buyer equal or exceed One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) in which case the anti-dilution protection shall be limited to the impact of only the first One Million Dollars ($1,000,000) of the offering, and (ii) a right to participate pro rata in any subsequent equity (including securities convertible into equity) offerings of Buyer after the Closing in excess of One Million Dollars ($1,000,000), subject to standard exclusions in either case.

(d)           Not later than sixty (60) days after the Closing, Buyer shall prepare and deliver to Seller copies of Form 8594 and any required exhibits thereto (collectively, the “Asset Allocation Statement”) allocating the Purchase Price among the Assets and the Other IP Assets in accordance with Section 1060 of the Internal Revenue Code and the Treasury regulations thereunder.  Seller shall have a period of thirty (30) days after delivery of the Asset Allocation Statement to present in writing to Buyer notice of any good faith objections Seller may have to the allocations set forth therein (an “Allocation Objection Notice”).  Unless Seller objects within such thirty (30) day period, the Asset Allocation Statement shall be binding on the parties.  If Seller shall raise any objections within such thirty (30) day period, Buyer and Seller shall negotiate in good faith and use their commercially reasonable efforts to resolve such dispute.  If the parties fail to agree within fifteen (15) days after the delivery of the Allocation Objection Notice, then the parties shall submit the Asset Allocation Statement and the Allocation Objection Notice to an independent accountant mutually agreeable to the parties (the “Accountant”) for resolution.  The Accountant shall resolve the dispute by selecting the proposed allocation submitted by either Buyer or Seller which in the sole judgment of the Accountant most accurately allocates the Purchase Price among the Assets and the Other IP Assets in accordance with their relative fair market values, but not by choosing any other formulation.  The Accountant shall render such decision and report to Buyer and Seller in writing, specifying the reason for its decision in reasonable detail, not later than thirty (30) days after the item has been referred to the Accountant.  The costs, fees and expenses of the Accountant shall be borne equally by Buyer and Seller.  The Purchase Price shall be allocated in accordance with the Asset Allocation Statement, as finally determined, and all income tax returns and reports filed by Buyer and Seller shall be prepared consistently with such allocation.

(a)           Buyer’s and Buyer Member’s Obligation.  Buyer agrees to, and does hereby, indemnify and hold harmless Seller and its affiliates and each of their respective officers, directors, partners, employees, agents, successors and assigns (as a group, “Representatives”) from and against any and all demands, claims, actions, causes of action, assessments, losses, obligations, damages, liabilities, fines, costs and expenses, including, without limitation, inter­est, penalties, and reasonable attorneys fees and expens­es (collectively “Damages”), that Seller or its Representatives may suffer resulting from, arising out of or in any way relating to (i) any misrepresentation in or breach or non-fulfillment of any representation or warranty of Buyer or Buyer Member or breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, obligation, or agreement of Buyer or Buyer Member contained herein or (ii) any of the Assumed Liabilities.

(b)           Seller’s Obligation.  Seller agrees to, and does hereby, indemnify and hold harmless Buyer and Buyer Member and Representatives of Buyer or Buyer Member from and against any and all Damages that Buyer, Buyer Member, or Representatives of either may suffer

- 9 -


resulting from, arising out of or in any way relating to (i) any misrepresentation in or breach or non-fulfillment of any representation or warranty of Seller or breach or non-fulfillment of any covenant, obligation or agreement of Seller contained herein or (ii) any of the Excluded Liabilities (including any claims asserted under any principle or theory of successor or transferee liability) or Excluded Assets.

(c)           Notice.  No right to indemnification hereunder shall be available to any party seeking indemnification (“Indemnitee”) unless the Indemnitee shall have provided, promptly after acquiring knowledge of the existence of a claim (or facts that might reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim in the future), the person from whom indemnification is sought (“Indemnitor”) a written notice describing in reasonable detail the facts giving rise to the claim (or facts that might reasonably be expected to give rise to a claim in the future) for indemnification hereunder and enclosing a copy of any papers served upon the Indemnitee, if any.  Failure to promptly give notice shall reduce (not eliminate) Indemnitor’s obligations under this Section 11(c) only to the extent that Indemnitor’s obligations are directly increased due to the delay.

(d)           Procedure.  In the event that indemnification is sought for third party claims (a “Third Party Claim”), Indemnitor will have the right at any time to assume and thereafter to conduct at its expense the defense of the Third Party Claim with counsel of Indemnitor’s choice (reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee); provided, however, that Indemnitor shall not consent to the entry of a judgment or enter into any settlement with respect to the Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of Indemnitee (which consent will not be unreasonably withheld) unless (i) the judgment or settlement involves only the payment of monetary damages and does not impose an injunction or other equitable relief upon Indemnitee and (ii) Indemnitor pays or causes to be paid all amounts arising out of the judgment or settlement concurrently with the effectiveness thereof.  If Indemnitor assumes the defense of the Third Party Claim it shall allow Indemnitee a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense thereof at Indemnitee’s expense with counsel of Indemnitee’s choice.  If the Indemnitor does not assume the defense of the action, then Indemnitee may defend the action in any manner it may reasonably deem appropriate; provided, however, that it shall allow Indemnitor a reasonable opportunity to participate in the defense thereof at Indemnitor’s expense with counsel of the Indemnitor’s choice.  The party conducting the defense of an action shall at all times reasonably  and diligently pursue the resolution thereof and shall at all times act in good faith and with reasonable prudence to minimize the Damages as though these were for its own account.

(e)           Cooperation.  A party seeking indemnification for a third party claim shall, and shall cause its Representatives to, offer reasonable assistance in the defense of the claim.

12.           PAYMENT OF EXPENSES.  Except as otherwise provided herein, regardless of whether the transactions provided for herein are consummated, each of the parties hereto shall pay all costs and expenses (including, without limitation, all fees and expenses of their respective counsel) incurred by them with respect to this Agreement and the transactions set forth herein and contemplated hereby.  All sales and transfer taxes, and all recording, filing and other fees

- 10 -


(including any penalties or interest), incurred in connection with this Agreement and the transactions contemplated hereby will be borne by Buyer.

13.           MISCELLANEOUS.

(a)           Transition Assistance. Upon the execution of this Agreement and thereafter, the parties hereto shall do such things as may be reasonably requested by the other parties hereto in order to more effectively consummate or document the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and the Transaction Documents.  Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Buyer and Buyer Member shall assist Seller as requested, without cost, in addressing, minimizing, and resolving the Excluded Liabilities.

(b)           Notices.  Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered as follows with notice deemed given as indicated:  (i) by personal delivery when delivered; (ii) by overnight courier upon written verification of receipt; (iii) by facsimile transmission when confirmed by facsimile transmission; or (iv) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, upon verification of receipt.  All notices must be sent to the addresses described below or to such other address that the receiving party may have provided for the purpose of notice in accordance with this Section.

(i)           Records.  To the extent that documents and other materials (in paper or electronic form) of Seller are transferred to Buyer, Buyer, as reasonably requested by Seller from time to time, will permit Seller and its Representatives to review such documents and other materials and make copies thereof at Seller’s cost.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TRANSFER AND LICENSE AGREEMENT
 

THIS INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY TRANSFER AND LICENSE AGREEMENT (this “Agreement”) is made as of July 31, 2007 by and between Terabeam, Inc., a Delaware corporation with its principal executive offices located at 2115 O’Nel Drive, San Jose, CA  95131 (“Seller”), and Civitas Wireless Solutions, LLC, a Colorado limited liability company with its principal executive offices located at 1400 Glenarm Place, Suite 100, Denver, CO  80202 (“Buyer”).
 
RECITALS

A.           Buyer and Seller’s subsidiary, Ricochet Networks, Inc. (“RNI”), entered into an Asset Purchase Agreement, dated as of even date hereof (the “APA”), pursuant to which Buyer agreed to purchase and assume, and RNI agreed to sell and transfer, specified assets and liabilities of RNI.

B.           It is a condition precedent to closing the transactions contemplated by the APA that Buyer and Seller enter into this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above recitals and the mutual agreements set forth below, and for other good and valuable consideration (the receipt and sufficiency of which are hereby acknowledged), the parties agree as follows:

1.           THE TRANSFER.

1.1           Effective as of 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time on the date of this Agreement, Seller hereby sells, assigns, and transfers, and Buyer hereby purchases and acquires, in perpetuity and throughout the world, all (except as otherwise contemplated by this Agreement) of Seller’s right, title and interest in the Transferred Intellectual Property (as defined in the next sentence), including but not limited to all goodwill associated with the Transferred Intellectual Property; all claims for damages by reason of any past infringement of any Transferred Intellectual Property and the sole and exclusive right to sue for and recover any and all damages for any past, present, or future infringement of such Transferred Intellectual Property; the sole and exclusive right to prosecute any pending application for trademark that is included in the Transferred Intellectual Property; and the sole and exclusive right to prosecute any reissue and reexamination proceedings relating to any of the Transferred Intellectual Property.  As used in this Agreement, “Transferred Intellectual Property” means (a) the trademarks and trademark applications listed on Schedule A, and (b) the intellectual property listed on Schedule B.  The Transferred Intellectual Property is to be held and enjoyed by Buyer or its designee(s) as entirely as the same would have been held and enjoyed by Seller had this sale, assignment, and transfer not been made.  The sale and purchase of the Transferred Intellectual Property shall be completed, and legal title and ownership in respect of the Transferred Intellectual Property shall be deemed to pass to Buyer, in each case, with effect from the close of business, being 11:59 p.m. Mountain Time, on the date of this Agreement.  Seller shall execute and deliver an



instrument of transfer in form appropriate for recording in the United States Patent and Trademark Office in the form attached hereto as Exhibit 1.

1.2           If any sales tax, value added tax, or other transfer tax is properly chargeable in respect of the sale and purchase in Section 1.1, Buyer shall pay to Seller the amount of such tax in addition to and at the same time as the purchase price (also by means of reduction of indebtedness).  Seller will issue to Buyer a proper tax invoice in respect thereof.

1.3           BUYER HEREBY ACKNOWLEDGES THAT SELLER MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY TO BUYER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE TRANSFERRED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, WHETHER THE TRANSFERRED INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY EXISTS), AND THAT THE ABOVE SALE AND TRANSFER IS MADE TO BUYER ON AN “AS IS” BASIS.  Buyer specifically acknowledges that government registrations, filings, and fees relating to some of the Transferred Intellectual Property may not have been made and/or paid and therefore some of the Transferred Intellectual Property may have been abandoned, forfeited, or otherwise lost and may not exist as of the date of this Agreement.  Buyer further specifically acknowledges that Seller (and/or its predecessors in interest) has previously granted licenses to certain of the Transferred Intellectual Property, including without limitation to RNI; that the Transferred Intellectual Property is being sold to Buyer subject to such licenses; and that such licenses continue in effect unaffected by the sale of the Transferred Intellectual Property to Buyer.
 
2.           FURTHER ASSURANCES.  Seller hereby covenants and agrees that, at any time and from time to time after the date of this Agreement, at Buyer’s request and without additional consideration therefor, Seller will do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged, and delivered, any and all further acts, conveyances, transfers, assignments, and assurances that are necessary or advisable in Buyer’s reasonable discretion (a) to more effectively assure, convey, and confirm unto Buyer entire right, title, and interest of Seller in the Transferred Intellectual Property and rights attendent or pertinent to the Transferred Intellectual Property as contemplated by this Agreement; (b) to provide for Buyer the benefit, use, enjoyment, and possession of such Transferred Intellectual Property; or (c) to make and prosecute any and all applications on the Transferred Intellectual Property.  Buyer hereby covenants and agrees that, at any time and from time to time after the date of this Agreement, at Seller’s request and without additional consideration therefor, Buyer will do, execute, acknowledge, and deliver, or will cause to be done, executed, acknowledged, and delivered, any and all further acts, conveyances, transfers, assignments, and assurances that are necessary or advisable in Seller’s reasonable discretion to provide to Seller the benefit, use, enjoyment, and possession of the license and other rights granted to Seller in this Agreement, including, without limitation, providing Seller with copies of any Transferred Intellectual Property to which Seller is granted license or other rights hereunder.

3.           LICENSE BACK.

(a)           Buyer hereby grants to Seller and each of its Subsidiaries (as defined below) a perpetual, irrevocable, non-exclusive, fully paid, unrestricted, transferable (as described

2


below), worldwide license, with rights to sublicense as described below, to use the Transferred Intellectual Property (subject to the exclusions described below) in any manner.  Seller and its Subsidiaries may sublicense this license to any customers, distributors, resellers, and other parties who purchase, lease, or otherwise acquire products from Seller or a Subsidiary above (with the right to further sublicense to other purchasers and end users of such products).  This license shall continue and survive after any change of control of Seller.  Seller and each of its Subsidiaries may sell, convey, assign, or otherwise transfer this license and such company’s rights hereunder to any acquiror of Seller or a Subsidiary or of all or substantially all of the assets of Seller or a Subsidiary or of one or more product lines or business units from Seller or a Subsidiary.  “Subsidiary(ies)” means any corporation, company, or other entity more than fifty percent (50%) of whose outstanding shares or stock entitled to vote for the election of directors (other than any shares or stock whose voting rights are subject to restriction) is owned or controlled by Seller, directly or indirectly, now or hereafter, or in the case of entities not having voting stock, equivalent ownership or control thereof.  The license granted in this Section 3(a) does not include any trademarks, trademark applications, domain names, or service marks included in the Transferred Intellectual Property (except to the extent contemplated in Section 3(b) below.

(b)           Buyer acknowledges that RNI has remaining obligations to third parties under contracts and other agreements that constitute part of the “Excluded Liabilities” (as that term is defined in the APA).  Therefore, notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement to the contrary, Buyer agrees that Seller retains rights in and a license to the Transferred Intellectual Property to the full extent necessary to permit RNI to perform its remaining obligations to third parties under contracts and other agreements that constitute part of the Excluded Liabilities.

4.           DISPUTE RESOLUTION; GOVERNING LAW.

4.1           This Agreement shall be governed and construed in accordance with the substantive laws of the State of Delaware without regard to any principles of conflicts of law.

4.2           If a dispute arises out of this Agreement, or the interpretation, breach, termination or validity thereof, each of the parties agrees to first request a meeting of senior management of the parties in a written notice that references this paragraph.  That meeting shall occur at a mutually agreeable time and place within twenty (20) days of any such written notice.  Neither party shall assert any claim of laches, waiver, estoppel, or the like based on the time elapsed by following this procedure.  If the dispute is unresolved in whole or in part within twenty (20) days of such meeting, either party may commence a legal proceeding.  Each party hereby irrevocably agrees that any legal action or proceeding by or against it arising out of this Agreement or the transactions contemplated hereby shall be brought only in the courts of the State of Delaware in and for the County of New Castle or (if it has jurisdiction) the U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware.  Each of the parties hereto irrevocably consents to the exclusive jurisdiction of any such state or federal court in connection with any matter based upon or arising out of this Agreement or the matters contemplated herein, agrees that process may be served upon them by mailing copies thereof by registered United States mail, postage prepaid, to their address as specified in or pursuant to Section 5.3 or in any manner authorized by the laws

3


of the State of Delaware for such persons, and waives and covenants not to assert or plead any objection which they might otherwise have to such forum, such jurisdiction, and such process.

5.           MISCELLANEOUS.

5.1           This Agreement (including the Schedules and Exhibits, which are hereby incorporated in the terms of this Agreement) sets forth the entire understanding and agreement among the parties as to matters covered herein and therein and supersedes any prior and contemporaneous understanding, agreement or statement (written or oral) of intent among the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof.  No provision of this Agreement may be altered, amended, modified, waived, or otherwise changed in any way except by a written instrument, which specifically identifies the intended alteration, amendment, modification, waiver, or other change and clearly expresses the intention to so change this Agreement, signed by Buyer and Seller.

5.2           This Agreement may be executed in one or more counterparts, any one of which need not contain the signatures of more than one party, but all such counterparts taken together shall constitute one and the same agreement.  This Agreement may be executed by facsimile signature or electronic exchanges of documents bearing a scanned signature, and a facsimile or copy of a signature is valid as an original.

5.3           Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered as follows with notice deemed given as indicated:  (i) by personal delivery when delivered; (ii) by overnight courier upon written verification of receipt; (iii) by facsimile transmission when confirmed by facsimile transmission; or (iv) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, upon verification of receipt.  All notices must be sent to the addresses first described above or to such other address that the receiving party may have provided for the purpose of notice in accordance with this Section.

5.4           The failure of either party hereto to exercise any right hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right.  The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach or any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.  All rights and remedies of any party are cumulative and concurrent, and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy.

5.5           If any part, term or provision of this Agreement not being of a fundamental nature is held illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that part, term or provision shall be deemed automatically adjusted to conform to the requirements for validity (or deleted if it cannot be so adjusted) and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected.

5.6           Except as otherwise expressly provided in Section 3 hereof, no provision of this Agreement shall give any rights, remedies, or other benefits to any person or entity other than Buyer and Seller.

4



5.7           The titles and headings of the various sections of this Agreement are used for convenience of reference only and are not intended to and shall not in any way enlarge or diminish the rights or obligations of the parties or affect the meaning or construction of this document.

5.8           Buyer and Seller shall each pay its own costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and implementation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by it.

5.9           This Agreement shall apply to, shall be binding in all respects upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto.

3.3           Any notice required or permitted by this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be delivered as follows with notice deemed given as indicated: (i) by personal delivery when delivered; (ii) by overnight courier upon written verification of receipt; (iii) by facsimile transmission when confirmed by facsimile transmission; or (iv) by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, upon verification of receipt.  All notices must be sent to the addresses first described above or to such other address that the receiving party may have provided for the purpose of notice in accordance with this Section 4.3.

3.4           The failure of either party hereto to exercise any right hereunder shall not be deemed to be a waiver of such right.  The failure of either party to require performance by the

2


other party of any provision of this Agreement shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach or any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.  All rights and remedies of any party are cumulative and concurrent, and the exercise of one right or remedy shall not be deemed a waiver or release of any other right or remedy.

3.5           If any part, term or provision of this Agreement not being of a fundamental nature is held illegal or unenforceable by any court of competent jurisdiction, that part, term or provision shall be deemed automatically adjusted to conform to the requirements for validity (or deleted if it cannot be so adjusted) and the validity and enforceability of the remainder of this Agreement shall not be affected.

3.6           Unless otherwise expressly provided, no provision of this Agreement shall give any rights, remedies or other benefits to any person or entity other than Licensor and Licensee.

3.7           Licensor and Licensee shall each pay its own costs, charges and expenses incurred in connection with the preparation and implementation of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

3.8           Only the license expressly granted in this Agreement is granted by Licensor, and no implied licenses or rights are granted or intended.

3.9           This Agreement shall apply to, shall be binding in all respects upon, and shall inure to the benefit of, the respective successors and assigns of the parties hereto; provided, however, that neither party shall have the right to assign this Agreement or the provisions hereof, whether by assignment or operation of law, without the consent of the other party hereto.
