AGREEMENT
Article 1 Purchase of Commercial Materials
1.1 SMD Purchase of New Phosphorescent Materials. When SMD or any of its Permitted Sublicensees (i) [***] red and/or green Phosphorescent Material other than Phosphorescent Material being supplied by Universal Display as of the Effective Date (“New Phosphorescent Material”), SMD may at its sole discretion request Universal Display to supply SMD or the Permitted Sublicensee with such New Phosphorescent Material(s). Upon such request, which shall be no more frequent than twice a year, the parties shall follow the following procedure:
1.1.1 Both parties shall determine [***]. The parties shall complete such determination within thirty (30) days of such request and share the results.
1.1.2 If [***], Universal Display shall supply such New Phosphorescent Material to SMD in mutually agreeable quantities.
1.1.3 If [***], both SMD and Universal Display shall [***]. Upon [***], Universal Display shall supply such New Phosphorescent Material to SMD in mutually agreeable quantities.
If Universal Display agrees to supply such New Phosphorescent Material(s) to SMD or its Permitted Sublicensee, such Phosphorescent Material(s) shall be supplied by Universal Display under a separate written agreement to be mutually agreed upon in good faith by the Procurement Department of SMD or the Permitted Sublicensee and the Sales Department of Universal Display (“Purchase Agreement”), provided however [***] Phosphorescent Material already being or agreed to be supplied by Universal Display for manufacture of Licensed Product (“Existing Phosphorescent Material”). For clarity, Existing Phosphorescent Material includes, without limitation, [***]. For avoidance of doubt, all purchases by SMD or its Permitted Sublicensee of such New Phosphorescent Material from Universal Display shall count towards and shall be credited against the minimum purchase amount set forth in Section 2.2 herein. For clarification, any New Phosphorescent Material becomes Existing Phosphorescent Material once Universal Display starts supplying such New Phosphorescent Material to SMD for manufacturing of Licensed Product(s).
1.2 Supply of Existing Phosphorescent Materials. Universal Display shall continue to supply Existing Phosphorescent Material(s) in the same quality and quantity required by SMD consistent with SMD’s forecasts provided to Universal Display. Universal Display acknowledge that any unilateral discontinuation of the supply of the Existing Phosphorescent Material to SMD may cause a harm to SMD that may not be compensable in monetary damages in so far as SMD’s manufacturing of the Licensed Products may be disrupted.
1.3 Reservation of Rights. Nothing herein shall be construed as a license by Universal Display, express or implied, for SMD, any Permitted Sublicensee or any third party to manufacture and/or sell to SMD, such Permitted Sublicensee or any other person or entity any Phosphorescent Material or other OLED material covered by the Universal Display Patents or in which Universal Display otherwise has a proprietary interest. Universal Display acknowledges that it is responsible in its discretion for enforcing the Universal Display Patents and its other proprietary rights against other suppliers endeavoring to make or sell any such material without appropriate license rights from Universal Display, and that neither SMD nor its Permitted Sublicensees is responsible for such enforcement. Nevertheless, SMD shall refrain from, and shall cause its Permitted Sublicensees to refrain from, encouraging other suppliers to make or develop Phosphorescent Material with the knowledge that the manufacture or development of such material shall use or need to use any Universal Display intellectual property right
