`VANDAPAC and their respective AFFILIATES from (i) taking positions that may reflect on

`actions in the prosecution of their own patents, or in defending their own patent positions in
`any proceeding in the U.S. Patent Office or courts, or in the patent office or courts of any
`foreign jurisdiction.
`
`Agreement regarding future commercial activity. The PARTIES agree not to use each
`11.
`other’s respective trademarks set forth in Exhibit D as a trademark in advertising, including by
`purchase of such marks as search terms (e.g., Google AdWords). MACNEIL agrees to

`including eBay, pursuant to the terms of this AGREEMENT within ten (10) business days of

`violations relating to each other’s respective products on the PARTIES’ respective distributors
`and retailers, except in accordance with the notice provisions set forth in Paragraph 12.

`12.
`civil action concerning the manufacture, advertising, importation or sale of any KRAMER
`FLOOR TRAY PRODUCT initiated by a PARTY or their AFFILIATES against another Party
`or their Affiliates may only be initiated after the Plaintiff in the future litigation has provided
`actual written notice to the Defendant in the future litigation at least 45 days prior to filing of
`the Complaint in which the Plaintiff in the future litigation outlines the factual and legal basis
`for the perceived wrongdoing. The PARTIES further agree not to serve notices of intellectual
`property violations relating to each other’s respective products on the PARTIES’ distributors
`and online retailers until after the expiration of the forty-five (45) day period. If after forty-
`five (45) days, the Defendant in the future case has not ceased the alleged conduct, the
`Plaintiff in the future case may pursue any available legal remedies, including the
`commencement of litigation and the service of notice on distributors and online retailers,
`subject to the following terms and conditions:
`
`
`If any notice letter is used as the basis for jurisdiction in a Declaratory
`a)
`Judgment (“DJ”) action, the DJ plaintiff must also comply with the notice and grace
`period provision of this paragraph.
`
`Compliance with this Paragraph 12 shall not be used as proof of laches or
`b)
`undue delay.
`
`

`c)
`constitute a breach of the terms of this AGREEMENT and subject the PARTY in

`payment to be made within thirty days of the commencement of the lawsuit and such
`
`-4-

`Yita v. MacNeil IP, IPR2020-01139
`Page 4
`
`
`
`
`
`payment is agreed to be a condition precedent for maintaining the lawsuit.
`
`This Notice Provision and the consequences of noncompliance with this
`d)
`Paragraph 12 shall expire ten years (10) after signing of the AGREEMENT.
`
`This Notice Provision and Paragraph shall not apply if a PARTY must seek
`e)
`immediate injunctive relief to prevent an irreparable harm that will be prejudiced by
`the delay envisioned in this Paragraph. However, if a PARTY institutes any action and
`does not, within two (2) business days file for a Temporary Restraining Order or any
`other type of immediate injunctive relief, said PARTY shall be in breach of this Notice
`Provision and Paragraph. A finding by a court that a motion for immediate injunctive
`relief is filed in bad faith shall be considered a breach of the notice provision and
`subject the party moving for immediate injunctive relief to the provisions of Paragraph
`12(c).
`
`KRAMER shall have the right, but not the obligation, to provide modified
`f)
`versions of the KRAMER FLOOR TRAY PRODUCT to MacNeil’s designated
`counsel for confidential review. Within 30 days of receiving a request for review,
`MACNEIL’S counsel shall provide a notice letter pursuant to the provisions of this
`Paragraph 12 to KRAMER and identify any intellectual property rights of MACNEIL
`believed to be infringed. MACNEIL’s counsel may confer with one MACNEIL
`corporate representative regarding the product and opinion, which information the
`corporate representative will maintain in confidence until the information is made
`public by KRAMER. KRAMER shall pay $5,000 to a representative that MACNEIL
`designates within 15 days of the request for review for each review requested.
`
`
`SELLOFF OF KRAMER PREMODIFICATION FLOOR TRAYS. KRAMER has
`13.
`informed MACNEIL that it has an existing stock of KRAMER PREMODIFICATION
`FLOOR TRAYS. KRAMER has set forth a comprehensive listing of this stock, by part

`allowed to sell these existing KRAMER PREMODIFICATION FLOOR TRAYS for a period
`of 18 months directly and immediately following the EFFECTIVE DATE of this
`AGREEMENT, without further compensation to MACNEIL, and that if so sold within this
`period, MACNEIL will not enforce any MACNEIL FLOOR TRAY PATENT or the
`MACNEIL TRADE DRESS against any proximate or remote purchaser of such existing
`KRAMER PREMODIFICATION FLOOR TRAYS. After that time period, KRAMER and/or
`VANDAPAC shall destroy any unsold KRAMER PREMODIFICATION FLOOR TRAYS
`and provide MACNEIL with an accounting of which KRAMER PREMODIFICATION
`FLOOR TRAYS have been sold and which have been destroyed. MACNEIL may ask for
`further information regarding this accounting and KRAMER and VANDAPAC shall provide
`MACNEIL with reasonable information and documents related to this Paragraph. Upon the
