Exclusivity pertains to end use. When that clause was in effect, EDIG could not knowingly sell to any entity where end use was for IFE, and that entity could not knowingly sell to another entity to sell for IFE, and so on. It`s what`s called a ``flow-down`` clause. The key is end use. IF they (EDIG) did contracting properly, any contract would incorporate the exclusivity clause/prohibition, or they`d face litigation even if the ``act`` was by another customer at any tier.
With all due respect, best not argue contracts with the contracts guy.
