indemnify, defend and hold Client and its affiliates, parents, stockholders, subsidiaries,
officers, directors, members, managers, employees, agents, successors and assigns (such

and (3) provide the Indemnifying Party with the assistance, information and authority
necessary to perform the above. The Claimant may, at its option and expense, be
represented by separate counsel in any such action.

and governmental requirements with respect to MTD Services and the License, including, but
not limited to, import and export restrictions, obtaining any necessary consents and licenses,

Services.
10. Term of Agreement and Termination. The term of this Agreement shall be for one (1) year
beginning on the Effective Date. Thereafter, this Agreement shall be automatically renewed for
successive one-year terms, unless either Party gives the other Party written notice of
termination at least 60 days prior to the end of the then current term (such initial term and all
renewal terms, the “Term”). Such Term is subject to prior termination as provided below.
10.1 Breach. The Parties agree that any breach of one or more provisions of this Agreement
(including, but not limited to any breach of the requirements of Client set forth in the
Exhibits hereto and/or any failure of Client to timely pay any amount due hereunder)
that threatens to, or causes the other Party substantial harm is a material breach.
Furthermore, any breach of the confidentiality, non-disclosure, or non-competition
provisions of Section 7 by either Party, or failure to make payments as outlined in
Section 5, shall be considered material breaches. Furthermore, any conduct or
negligence that adversely affects the business or good name of the other Party will be
considered a material breach, unless the offending Party immediately ceases such
activity and cures any damage resulting from such conduct or negligence within 30 days
of written notice from the damaged Party.
10.2 Early Termination for Cause. In the event of an actual or perceived material breach of
this Agreement by either Party, the termination provisions of this section will not trigger
or be available to the non-breaching Party until the non-breaching Party has notified the
breaching Party in writing of the alleged material breach, citing in reasonable detail the
nature of the breach. If the offending Party agrees that they materially breached one or
more provisions of this Agreement, then the offending Party shall then have thirty days
to remedy such breach. If at the end of such thirty-day period, the breach has not been
remedied, the Agreement may be terminated by the non-offending Party. However, if
the Party accused of the material breach denies the breach in writing, or denies that it
was material, and produces reasonable evidence to support the denial, then the
offending Party may not terminate the Agreement, but must utilize the dispute
resolution provisions in Section 17 hereof.
10.3 Termination for Bankruptcy. Subject to applicable law, this Agreement may be
terminated by either Party upon written notice (i) upon the other Party’s making an
assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (ii) upon the other Party’s dissolution or
ceasing to do business.
10.4 Termination Upon Mutual Consent. This Agreement may also be terminated at any time
upon the mutual written consent of both Parties.
10.5 Duties Upon Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, the following shall
apply: Each Party shall return or destroy all originals and copies of any Confidential
Information of the other Party regarding this project.
10.6 Force Majeure. A Party shall be excused from delays or failure to perform its duties
(other than payment obligations) to the extent such delays or failures result from acts of
nature, riots, war, acts of public enemies, fires, epidemics, or any other causes beyond
its reasonable control. The Parties will promptly inform and consult with each other as
to any of the above causes that in their judgment may or could be the cause of a
substantial delay in the performance of this Agreement. Either Party may, in its
discretion, terminate this Agreement if a delay in performance by the other Party
exceeds or is reasonably expected to exceed six months.
10.7 Waiver. The waiver by either Party of any default, breach or obligation hereunder shall
be ineffective unless in writing, and shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent
breach or default. No failure to exercise any right or power under this Agreement or to
insist on strict compliance by the other Party shall constitute a waiver of the right in the
future to exercise such right or power or to insist on strict compliance.
11. Limitation of Warranties, Liabilities & Risks.
11.1 LIMITATION OF WARRANTIES. MTD MAKES NO WARRANTY, REPRESENTATION OR
PROMISE NOT EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT. MTD DISCLAIMS AND

THIS AGREEMENT FOR THE PRIOR TWELVE (12) MONTHS. NEITHER PARTY WILL BE
LIABLE FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES EVEN IF SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.

the amounts payable to Client reflect such allocation of risk.

that:
13.1 Each Party has all requisite power and authority, corporate or otherwise, to execute and
deliver this Agreement and to consummate the transactions contemplated by this
Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the legal, valid, and binding obligation of each
Party enforceable against each other Party in accordance with its terms, except as
enforcement may be limited by applicable bankruptcy, insolvency, reorganization,
moratorium, or similar laws affecting creditors’ rights generally and general equitable
principles;
13.2 The execution and delivery by each Party and the consummation of the transactions
contemplated by this Agreement do not and shall not, by the lapse of time, the giving of
notice, or otherwise: (i) constitute a violation of any law; or (ii) constitute a breach of any
provision contained in, or a default under, any governmental approval, or any writ,
injunction, order, judgment, or decree of any governmental authority, or any agreement,
contract, or understanding to which the party or its assets are bound or affected; and
13.3 Any individual executing this Agreement on behalf of an entity has authority to act on

or breach under this Agreement. The prevailing Party in any action under this Agreement shall
be entitled to recover its costs, including reasonable attorneys’ fees, incurred in enforcing this
Agreement. Each Party acknowledges that any breach by the other of any of the provisions
contained in this Agreement, and more particularly a breach, or threatened breach, of the
confidentiality and non-compete provisions, will give rise to irreparable injury to such non-
breaching Party inadequately compensable in monetary damages alone. Accordingly, each Party
stipulates and agrees that any Party may seek and obtain preliminary and permanent injunctive
relief against the breach, or threatened breach, of said provisions without the necessity of
posting bond. Such relief will be in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies which may

recipient, by return or reply email or notice delivered by other method provided for in this
Section 15, acknowledges having received that email (with an automatic “read receipt” or
similar notice not constituting an acknowledgement of an email receipt for purposes of this
Section 15, but which acknowledgement of acceptance shall also include cases where recipient
‘replies’ to such prior email, including the body of the prior email in such ‘reply’). Such notices
shall be sent to the applicable party or parties at the address specified on the signature page
hereof, subject to notice of changes thereof from any party with at least ten (10) business days’
notice to the other parties. Rejection or other refusal to accept or the inability to deliver
because of changed address of which no notice was given shall be deemed to be receipt of the
notice as of the date of such rejection, refusal or inability to deliver.
16. Publicity. MTD shall have the sole right to publicly disclose this Agreement and the terms hereof.
No public disclosure hereof shall be made by Client without the prior written consent of MTD.
17. Independent Contractor. The Parties to this Agreement are independent contractors and there
is no relationship of agency, partnership, joint venture, employment or franchise between the
Parties. Neither Party has the authority to bind the other, or to incur any obligation on the
other’s behalf.
18. Headings. The section headings contained in the Agreement are for reference purposes only and
shall not in any way affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
19. Severability. If any term or other provision of this Agreement is invalid, illegal or incapable of
being enforced by any rule of law, or public policy, all other conditions and provisions of this
Agreement shall nevertheless remain in full force and effect so long as the economic or legal
substance of this Agreement is not affected in any manner adverse to any party. Upon such
determination that any term or other provision is invalid, illegal or incapable of being enforced,
the parties hereto shall negotiate in good faith to modify this Agreement so as to affect the
original intent of the parties as closely as possible in a mutually acceptable manner.
20. Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the schedules and exhibits set forth hereto, which are
integral parts of this Agreement, set forth the entire agreement between the Parties on this
subject and supersedes all prior negotiations, understandings and agreements between the
Parties concerning the subject matter. No amendment or modification of this Agreement shall

22. Signatures and Counterparts. This Agreement and any signed agreement or instrument entered
into in connection with this Agreement, and any amendments hereto or thereto, may be
executed in one or more counterparts, all of which shall constitute one and the same
instrument. Any such counterpart, to the extent delivered by means of a facsimile machine or by
.pdf, .tif, .gif, .jpeg or similar attachment to electronic mail (any such delivery, an “Electronic
Delivery”) shall be treated in all manner and respects as an original executed counterpart and
shall be considered to have the same binding legal effect as if it were the original signed version
thereof delivered in person. At the request of any Party, each other Party shall re execute the
original form of this Agreement and deliver such form to all other Parties. No Party shall raise
the use of Electronic Delivery to deliver a signature or the fact that any signature or agreement
or instrument was transmitted or communicated through the use of Electronic Delivery as a
defense to the formation of a contract, and each such Party forever waives any such defense,
except to the extent such defense relates to lack of authenticity.
