Licensor consents to be a party and to cooperate with Licensee in any such suit brought by Licensee pursuant to this Section 7.8.

Licensor shall as a matter of course approve all requests to add Persons as Customers to Schedule A of this Agreement within thirty (30) days, for which a viable business opportunity exists, so long as (1) the Person being added as the Customer has not dictated the use of the nonprofit status of RRI, (2) the Licensor is not previously limited by an agreement in writing that would preclude the addition of such Person as a Customer, and (3) such addition would not jeopardize the nonprofit 501(c)(3) status of RRI. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (1) to the extent that no written agreement is signed between the Customer and Licensee within one year of approval by Licensor, or (2) no revenue is received for a consecutive two year period for a Customer on Schedule A, then such Person shall be automatically removed from Schedule A.

To the extent a Person is added to Schedule A to become a Customer, and such Customer has an existing or previous business relationship with RRI or to the extent that a Customer requests to use the nonprofit 501(c)(3) status of RRI, Licensee shall grant and hereby does grant a nonexclusive, perpetual, royalty free, worldwide, non-transferable license, with the right to grant sublicense, to use the Technical Information and to copy, modify, display, and create derivative works of any copyrighted portions of the Technical Information, solely with the Customer having such business relationship with RRI.

Licensee shall comply with such standards and instructions as Licensor may establish from time to time with respect to the style, appearance and manner of use of the Trademarks.

Licensor and Licensee acknowledge that at a mutually agreed upon time this annual royalty fee may be adjusted as mutually agreed to by the Parties.

All royalty fee payments shall be payable within thirty (30) days after the last day of the applicable quarter or such reasonable time period as Licensor may from time to time determine at its discretion. The royalty fee will be payable in the currency and manner the parties may from time to time mutually agree.

The royalty fee in Section 9.1 may be satisfied in whole, as mutually agreed by the Parties, by providing annual services by the Licensee to the Licensor, in particular by the Licensee providing research and development services for the Licensor.

The Licensor and Licensee shall cooperate to promptly develop a Disaster Recovery Plan (“DRP”) with regard to the Proprietary Software and Database. At a minimum, Licensor shall provide the following: (a) two (2) or more backup copies of all Proprietary Software and Database located on separate servers; and (b) at least one (1) copy of all Proprietary Software and Database, with source codes retained on disk or tape and maintained in a locked room or vault or other mutually agreed upon secure storage space.

Neither this Agreement nor any rights hereunder may be assigned or otherwise transferred by the Licensee, in whole or in part, whether voluntary or by operation of law, including any merger or consolidation, without the prior written consent of the Licensor, such consent not being unreasonably withheld.

All notices or reports permitted or required under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be forwarded by personal delivery, telegram, facsimile, or by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, and shall be deemed given upon personal delivery, five (5) days after deposit in the mail, or upon acknowledgment of receipt of electronic transmission.

This Agreement shall be governed by, construed and enforced in accordance with, the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to the conflicts of laws principles of such state. Any suit to enforce any provision of this Agreement, or arising out of or based upon this Agreement, shall be brought only in federal courts located in Eastern District of Michigan or state courts located in Oakland County, Michigan. Each Party hereby agrees that such courts shall have in personam jurisdiction and venue with respect to such Party, and each Party hereby submits to the in personam jurisdiction and venue of such courts.

If any provision of this Agreement shall be unlawful, void, or unenforceable, then that provision notwithstanding, this Agreement shall not render this Agreement unenforceable, or invalid as a whole, and such unlawful, void or unenforceable provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unlawful, void or unenforceable provision within the limits of applicable law or judicial decision.

This Agreement may be modified only in a writing signed by both parties. The failure by either Party to enforce any rights under this Agreement shall not be construed as a waiver of such rights; nor shall the waiver by either Party of a breach of any provision thereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.

The parties do not expect that the performance of either Party under this Agreement will give rise to any tax liability. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party agrees to pay any tax, tariff or duty, including penalties or interest, as well as any costs associated with the collection thereof, assessed upon such Party as a result of its performance under this Agreement.

This Agreement is the complete, final and exclusive statement of the agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersedes any proposal or prior or contemporaneous agreement or communications between the parties (whether oral or written) relating to the subject matter thereof.

In addition to the obligations required to be performed hereunder, the parties agree to perform such other acts, and to execute, acknowledge, and/or deliver subsequent to this Agreement such other instruments, documents and other materials, as may reasonably be required to carry out the intent of this Agreement.

The parties agree that each Party, relative to the other, is to be considered an independent contractor.

The parties shall refrain from acting or attempting to act or represent themselves, directly or by implication, as having the power to bind another Party, or to assume or create any obligations on behalf of another Party.
