You agree not to use (except as expressly permitted under the license granted in Section 1), or disclose to any third party, the Documentation, the MMB Protocol, or any information regarding the design, function, or test results of the Documentation or the MMB Protocol, or any other know-how, technical data or other information, which relates to the Documentation or MMB Protocol (collectively, "Confidential Information"). Any suggestions, comments or other feedback provided with respect to the Documentation or MMB Protocol by You is and shall be given entirely voluntarily and shall not create any confidentiality obligation for MMB who shall be free to use such feedback without restriction.

6.                    Termination. MMB may terminate this Agreement and the license granted hereunder at any time, upon written notice, if You fail to comply with any of the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Within five (5) days of the date of a request from MMB, You shall return or destroy and provide written officer certification in relation thereto, at MMB's discretion, all copies of the Documentation and any related materials, or MMB may in its discretion attend at Your site to effect compliance with the foregoing.

THIS LIMITATION WILL APPLY EVEN IF MMB HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. MMB'S MAXIMUM AND AGGREGATE LIABILTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT WILL BE LIMITED TO THE LICENSE FEES PAID BY YOU FOR THE DOCUMENTATION TO MMB. THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE THAT THIS IS A REASONABLE ALLOCATION OF RISK. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT PERMIT THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, AND, AS SUCH, SOME PORTION OF THE ABOVE LIMITATION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. IN SUCH JURISDICTIONS, MMB'S LIABILITY IS LIMITED TO THE GREATEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

8.                    Remedies. You agree that Your obligations provided under this Agreement are necessary and reasonable in order to protect MMB and its business, and You expressly agree that monetary damages would be inadequate to compensate MMB for any breach by You under Sections 1, 2 or 4. Accordingly, You agree and acknowledge that any such violation or threatened violation would cause irreparable injury to MMB and that, in addition to any other remedies that may be available, in law, in equity or otherwise, MMB shall be entitled to obtain injunctive relief against such threatened breach or the continuation of any such breach by You, without the necessity of proving actual damages and without posting security.

9.                    Miscellaneous. This Agreement is the entire agreement between the parties relating to the subject matter hereof and may only be modified in writing signed by both parties. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and the laws of Canada applicable therein without reference to conflicts of law principles. In any dispute arising out of this Agreement, MMB and You each consent to the jurisdiction of the provincial and federal courts in the City of Toronto, Province of Ontario, and agree to bring any actions arising out of this Agreement in such courts. If any provision of this Agreement is held unenforceable, the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect. No waiver of this Agreement shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party making the waiver. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision nor shall any waiver of any provision of this Agreement constitute a continuing waiver unless otherwise expressly provided. This Agreement may be delivered by facsimile or similar transmission, and a facsimile or similar transmission evidencing execution shall be effective as a valid and binding agreement between the parties for all purposes.
