Definitions. "Dosimetry Services" shall include a subscription arrangement in
order to collect and measure Radiation Dose Information (defined below) obtained

begins receiving the Dosimetry Services, whether new or renewed Dosimetry
Services (the “Effective Date”) and will continue in full force and effect for
one (1) year unless otherwise specified on the relevant Quotation (the “Initial
Term”), unless sooner terminated pursuant to this Section. After the Initial
Term, this Agreement will renew automatically each year for the same time period
as the Initial Term, subject to a renewal notice (each, a “Renewal Term” and
together with the Initial Term, the “Term”), unless cancelled in accordance with
the Cancellation Policy.
Either Party may terminate this Agreement if: (i) the
other Party is in material breach of this Agreement, or (ii) the other Party
becomes insolvent, is adjudged bankrupt, makes a general assignment for the
benefit of its creditors, takes benefit of any statute relating to insolvency,
or if a receiver or trustee is appointed for all or any portion of its property.
Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement, unless otherwise specified in
this Agreement, LANDAUER will, at no charge to Client, and upon Client’s written
request provide a copy to Client of all Radiation Dose Information in its
possession, either received or collected from or on behalf of Client, and

longer period of time, including but not limited to agency regulations or any
applicable state regulations, and will dispose securely of any copies (including
electronic copies) of any Radiation Dose Information collected or generated
under this Agreement or held by sub-suppliers or third parties on its behalf.
Termination or expiration of this Agreement will not affect the obligations of
the Parties accrued prior to such termination or disclosed hereunder prior to
termination, which shall remain subject to the provisions of this Agreement. In
the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement, all licenses granted
under this Agreement immediately expire and terminate. Additionally, upon
expiration or termination, Client and Participants will immediately be
