3.  Support Services. During the Support Term, Wind River shall perform the following support services: 

3.1  Updates.  Wind River will deliver to Customer one (l) copy of any Software Updates (or as applicable, Upgrades) in the form the Software was originally provided to Customer (i.e., Object Code or Source Code) and one (1) set of documentation Updates (or as applicable, Upgrades) for each type of Software product licensed by Customer, as Wind River makes such Updates (or as applicable, Upgrades) available for general release and to the extent such Updates (or as applicable, Upgrades)  apply to Software covered by this Agreement.

Wind River will provide reasonable assistance to Customer to resolve Customer's problems that occur during normal usage of the Software.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Wind River determines that Customer requires ongoing help with a particular problem that is not caused by an Error, or that the resolution to such a problem involves customization of the Software, Wind River may, at its sole discretion, refer Customer to Wind River's professional services support group for assistance, for which Wind River requires an additional fee.

3.4  Notice of Errors  Customer shall provide Wind River with notice of Software problems by telephone (via the Wind River toll-free support number), by e-mail sent to support@windriver.com, or through another contact designated by Wind River.  Such problem notice will contain sufficient information on computer-readable media, if practicable, for Wind River to reproduce the problem. 

4.  Support Limitations.

4.1  Discontinued/Obsolete Software.  Wind River will have no obligation to provide services for versions of a Software product or any portions, aspects or components thereof, that have been declared obsolete or discontinued by Wind River for one (1) year or more, or that have been superseded by an Upgrade, if one (1) year after such Upgrades have been released such Upgrades have not been licensed and installed by Customer.

Such amount shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the applicable Wind River invoice date.

4.3  Services  Wind River shall have no obligation to provide support for any Wind River services, including but not limited to BSP implementation services, and including any software that Customer may receive as part of such services.

5.  Customer Responsibilities. 

5.1  Notice and Assistance.  Customer shall notify Wind River of Software problems in accordance with Section 3.4.  Customer shall provide relevant information as requested by Wind River as well as sufficient support and test time on Customer's computer system to determine if a problem is attributable to an Error, to correct any Errors, and to determine if an Error has been corrected.

5.2  Updates.  Customer shall incorporate the Updates as soon as practicable and acknowledges that failure to incorporate any such Update may make subsequent Updates unusable.

5.3  Contact.  Customer must designate a named contact person and an alternate contact person for each Customer installation, which contact person shall submit problem reports and receive all corrections, Updates, Patches, Workarounds, correspondence and other communications concerning the Software. Customer shall notify Wind River, in writing, of any change in the contact person or the alternate contact person.

5.4  License Compliance; Use Restrictions.  Subject to Section 8, Customer acknowledges that the Updates, Patches and any other software provided to Customer pursuant to this Agreement are subject to the terms and conditions of the license agreement pursuant to which Customer initially obtained the applicable Software ("Software License Agreement") and Customer agrees to abide by those terms and conditions. Customer may use the Training Materials solely for its internal development activities related to the Software. Customer may not copy, modify, distribute or disclose to third parties the Training Materials.

6.  TERM AND TERMINATION.

6.1  Term.  Wind River shall provide the Support services described in this Agreement during the Support Term.  After the initial term, this Agreement may be renewed for additional one (1) year terms upon payment by Customer of the then-current annual support fee, unless either party gives written notice to the other party at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current one (1) year term of its intent not to renew this Agreement.  The duration of any training services provided during the Support Term will be agreed by the parties in writing.

6.2  Termination.  Either party may terminate this Agreement if the other party materially breaches its obligations hereunder and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of the non-breaching party's written notice thereof (except for breaches of Section 8 or Section 9, for which there is no cure period).  Wind River may terminate this Agreement upon the occurrence of any event which would permit Wind River to terminate the Software License Agreement or any other agreement between Wind River and Customer. In the event of termination or expiration of this Agreement, all fees or charges then due and payable, or to become due and payable in the future based upon services already rendered, shall be immediately due and payable and Customer's obligations to pay such amounts shall survive the termination of this Agreement.  The following sections shall survive any expiration or termination of this Agreement: Sections 5.4, 6.2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.

7.  Fees and Payment. Customer shall pay to Wind River the applicable annual support fees for the Software and the training fees (if any).  Support fees shall be payable annually in advance, within thirty (30) days after the date of the applicable Wind River invoice, and shall accrue commencing upon the date the Software was licensed by Customer pursuant to the Software License Agreement. Training fees shall be payable within thirty (30) days after the date of the applicable Wind River invoice. Wind River may charge interest in the amount of one and a half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less, from the due date until paid for all fees not paid when due. Upon at least sixty (60) days notice to Customer prior to the commencement of any renewal support term, Wind River shall have the right to change the support fees that will apply during such renewal term.  All fees are exclusive of taxes, and Customer shall pay all sales, use, services or other similar taxes, if any, applicable to the fees. If Customer purchases support for any Software Customer has licensed from Wind River, Customer must purchase support for all such Software Customer has licensed from Wind River.

8.  Proprietary Rights; Use of Source Code.  All software and Training Materials delivered under this Agreement (including Updates and Patches) and any modifications thereto shall be owned by Wind River.  At Wind River's sole discretion, certain Updates and Patches may be provided to Customer in Source Code.  If Customer's Software License Agreement contains a Source Code license grant (including Software License Agreements with a "reference source code" license grant), then the terms and conditions of that license grant shall govern Customer's use of the Source Code Update or Patch.  If Customer's Software License Agreement does not contain a Source Code license grant, Wind River hereby grants Customer a restricted, personal, non-transferable, non-exclusive, internal-use license to use and modify the Source Code provided in an Update or Patch solely to the extent necessary to remedy any Error and to incorporate the Update or Patch into the Software as specified by Wind River. Customer acknowledges and agrees that: (i) except as set forth above, the use of such Source Code shall be in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Software License Agreement; (ii) if Customer has obtained the right to distribute the Software, or any portions thereof, pursuant to the Software License Agreement, Customer shall compile the Source Code Updates or Patches provided by Wind River hereunder into Object Code prior to any such distribution and shall distribute and use such Updates or Patches in Object Code only and in strict accordance with the terms and conditions of the applicable Software License Agreement; and (iii) that such Source Code is Confidential Information as described in Section 9.  Customer acknowledges that Wind River has no obligation to provide, and Customer has no right to receive, the Source Code for the Software or any Update or Patch. 

9.  Confidential Information.  In the event either party obtains access to the Confidential Information (defined below) of the other party in the course of performing this Agreement, the party obtaining such information shall maintain the confidentiality of such information in the same manner it maintains the confidentiality of its own similar Confidential Information, but in no event with less than reasonable care.  "Confidential Information" of either party means any information disclosed on written or magnetic media during the Support Term that is marked "confidential" or with a similar legend at the time of disclosure to the receiving party.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all Updates, Patches, Workarounds, Training Materials and any software provided by Wind River pursuant to this Agreement shall be deemed Confidential Information without regard to whether such items are marked "confidential" or with a similar legend.  Confidential information shall not include any information that is (a) published or otherwise available to the public other than by breach of this Agreement; (b) rightfully received by the receiving party from a third party without confidentiality limitations; (c) independently developed by the receiving party without reference to the Confidential Information; (d) known to the receiving party prior to its first receipt of same from the disclosing party; or (e) hereinafter disclosed by the disclosing party to a third party without restriction on disclosure.  If any Confidential Information must be disclosed to any third party by reason of legal, accounting or regulatory requirements beyond the reasonable control of the receiving party, the receiving party shall promptly notify the disclosing party of the order or request and permit the disclosing party (at its own expense) to seek an appropriate protective order.  This Agreement shall not be construed to prohibit, and Wind River shall be entitled to use for any purpose, including without limitation use in development, manufacture, promotion, sale, support and maintenance of Wind River's or its customers' products and services any information received from Customer in association with the support services described in this Agreement that may be retained as know how, ideas, processes or expertise in the unaided memories of Wind River's personnel.

12.  General.

(b) Telephone Support.  Wind River will, during its normal business hours, (i) provide reasonable telephone assistance to Customer to determine if a problem Customer is encountering is attributable to an Error; (ii) answer reasonable questions regarding the installation and basic functionality of the Product in the form delivered to Customer; (iii) provide reasonable assistance to Customer to resolve Product problems that occur during normal usage; and (iv) provide other assistance as contemplated in accordance with Wind River Standard Support and Maintenance Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Wind River determines that Customer requires ongoing assistance with a problem that is not caused by an Error, Wind River may charge an additional fee for such assistance.  Wind River Support Contact Information may be found at www.windriver.com/support/

Customer should refer to the RMA# number when returning the defective Product and should clearly display the RMA# on the shipping package.

2.3 Geographic Limits.  Customer may not export or reexport the Product without Wind River's prior written consent.  Wind River will provide the warranty and support services specified in this Section 2 only in the country where Customer purchased the Product.  Warranty and support services for the Products in other countries (if available) are subject to an additional fee.

5. Fees; Payment; Taxes.  The Product shall be deemed irrevocably accepted upon shipment.

Ownership.  Wind River and its licensors shall retain exclusive ownership of all worldwide intellectual property rights in and to the Product.  Customer hereby assigns to Wind River any such rights Customer may obtain in and to the foregoing.  Subject to Wind River's intellectual property rights in the Product (including the Hardware and Software), title to the Hardware and the media containing the Software, and all risk of loss thereto, shall pass to Customer upon shipment of the Product to Customer; provided that Customer timely pays Wind River the full Product purchase price as specified in Section 5.  All rights not expressly granted to Customer in this Agreement are expressly reserved for Wind River and its licensors.

8. Term and Termination. This Agreement will terminate upon Customer's breach, unless such breach is curable and is cured by Customer within ten days after Wind River notifies Customer of such breach.  Upon termination, Customer agrees not to use the Product for any purpose whatsoever, to promptly return the Product(s) then in Customer's possession to Wind River and to certify to Wind River that all copies of the Software have been returned.  Upon termination Wind River may repossess all copies of the Product then in Customer's possession or control.  These remedies shall be cumulative and in addition to any other remedies available to Wind River.  The provisions of this Agreement, other than Wind River's warranty obligations under Section 2 and the license grants in Section 3 above, shall survive termination.

9. Keys and Access.  Wind River agrees to provide to Customer those software keys which are reasonably necessary to permit Customer to gain access to the Software licensed under this Agreement.  Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, Customer hereby acknowledges that Customer shall have no right or license to any software shipped to Customer on physical media or provided to Customer via an FTP site or by other means of delivery, if such software is not expressly licensed to Customer under this Agreement or another Wind River license agreement.  Any such unlicensed software is included on such media or is otherwise available at the FTP site or by other means solely as a matter of administrative convenience.  Customer further agrees not to attempt to gain access to, or permit any third party to attempt to gain access to, such software.

Infringement Indemnity.  Subject to the Limitation of Liability provision stated below in Section 12, Wind River will defend at its expense any suit brought against Customer and will pay all damages finally awarded in such suit insofar as such suit is based on a claim that the Product as provided to Customer infringes a U.S. patent issued on or prior to the date of shipment of the Product or copyright, provided that Wind River is notified promptly of such claim and is given full and complete authority (including settlement authority), information and assistance by Customer for such defense.  In the event that the Product is held in any such suit to infringe such a right and its use is enjoined, or if in the opinion of Wind River the Product is likely to become the subject of such a claim, Wind River at its own election and expense will either (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Product or (ii) modify or replace the Product so that it becomes non-infringing while giving substantially equivalent performance.  In the event that (i) or (ii) above are not, in Wind River's sole determination, obtainable using reasonable commercial efforts, then Wind River may terminate this Agreement and refund the amount Customer paid Wind River under this Agreement for the Product which is the subject of such claim, less a reasonable charge for Customer's past beneficial use based on depreciation of the Product on a straight-line basis over a period of three years from shipment of the Product to Customer.  The indemnification obligation shall not apply to infringement actions or claims to the extent that such actions or claims are based on or result from: (i) modifications made to the Product by a party other than Wind River; (ii) the combination of the Product with items not supplied by Wind River; and (iii) Customer's failure to use the most recent version of the Product provided by Wind River to Customer; provided, that the infringement described in (i) through (iii) would have been avoided but for such modification, combination or use. THIS SECTION STATES CUSTOMER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND WIND RIVER'S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT.

12. Limitation of Liability. WIND RIVER AND ITS LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR THE LIKE) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY EVEN IF WIND RIVER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  IN NO EVENT WILL WIND RIVER'S AGGREGATE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID TO WIND RIVER BY CUSTOMER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT.

13. General. This Agreement will be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Delaware as applied to contracts entered into between residents thereof and performed entirely within the State. All disputes arising under this Agreement shall be brought in Superior Court of the State of California in Alameda County or the Federal District Court of San Francisco, California, except that Wind River may bring an action to enforce its intellectual property rights in the Products in any applicable jurisdiction.  If any legal action or proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of any alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. If any provision or provisions of this Agreement are determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement may not be assigned, sub-licensed, or otherwise transferred (including by way of merger) by Customer without Wind River's prior written consent. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any agency, employment relationship, partnership, principal-agent or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.  This Agreement constitutes the complete, final and exclusive statement of the agreement between Wind River and Customer, which supersedes all proposals, oral or written, and all other communications between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.  No waiver, alteration or modification of the provisions of this Agreement will be valid unless made in writing and signed by a corporate officer of Wind River. Each party agrees that Customer's use of pre-printed forms, such as purchase orders or acknowledgements, is for convenience only and all terms and conditions stated thereon are void and of no effect. Should you have any questions concerning this Agreement, please write: Wind River Systems, Inc., Vice President, Intellectual Property and Legal Affairs, 500 Wind River Way, Alameda, CA 94501.

THE WARRANTY DISCLAIMER AND LIMITED LIABILITY ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN WIND RIVER AND CUSTOMER.  WIND RIVER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE PRODUCT WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS.

12.  GOVERNMENT END USERS.  The Software is a "commercial item," as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. §2.101 (Oct 1995), consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation," as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. §12.212 (Sep 1995) and are provided to U.S. Government end users with only those rights set forth herein.

13.  GENERAL. Customer shall not export or re-export the Software in violation of the export control laws of the United States and/or any other jurisdiction. This Agreement will be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of California as applied to contracts entered into between residents thereof and performed entirely within the State..  If Customer's principal place of business is in North America, all disputes arising under this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in Superior Court of the State of California in Santa Clara County or the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco, California, as permitted by law. Customer consents to the personal jurisdiction of the above courts. 

If Customer's principal place of business is outside North America, all disputes arising under this Agreement shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) by three arbitrators. Each party shall appoint one neutral arbitrator. The two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the presiding arbitrator, who also shall be neutral, from a roster of arbitrators familiar with intellectual property disputes. If the two arbitrators to be appointed by the parties fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC from a roster of arbitrators familiar with intellectual property disputes. The arbitration procedure shall be conducted in the English language. Unless otherwise directed by the Arbitrators, the parties are limited to a single discovery request and response and may notice no more than five (5) depositions per party. Hearings shall be scheduled not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the complainant and respondent's materials. Any such hearing shall be concluded, and a final award rendered, within ninety (90) days from the commencement of the hearing.  The arbitration proceeding set forth in Section 15.2 shall be conducted in London, United Kingdom, if Customer's principal place of business is in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, and in Honolulu, Hawaii, if Customer's principal place of business is elsewhere outside North America.  The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to this Agreement.  If any legal action or proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of any alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, breach of the provisions of this Agreement by Customer will cause Wind River irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate, and that Wind River shall therefore be entitled to obtain timely injunctive relief to protect Wind River's rights under this Agreement in addition to any and all remedies available at law.  Neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for the payment of money) on account of strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes, material shortages or any other cause which is beyond the reasonable control of such party.   The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.  If any provision or provisions of this Agreement are determined to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement will not in any way be affected or impaired thereby. This Agreement may not be assigned, sub-licensed, or otherwise transferred (including by way of a merger) by Customer without Wind River's prior written consent. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any agency, employment relationship, partnership, principal-agent or other form of joint enterprise between the parties. This Agreement constitutes the complete, final and exclusive statement of the agreement between Wind River and Customer, which supersedes all proposals, oral or written, and all other communications between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. No waiver, alteration or modification of the provisions of this Agreement will be valid unless made in writing and signed by a corporate officer of Wind River. The terms and conditions of any purchase order or other instrument issued by Customer in connection with this Agreement which add to or differ from the terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than terms specifying the Approved CPU, Authorized Site, Wind River product desired, number of concurrent Tools users, and description of the Project) shall be of no force or effect.

7.1  Purchase Orders.  In order to obtain the right to reproduce and distribute Run-Time Modules, Customer may submit a Purchase Order to Wind River indicating thereon the number of Run-Time Modules Customer wishes to license from Wind River, or, in the event this distribution license is subject to an annual or other time-based fee, the additional amount of time customer wishes to extend the license.  Such Purchase Order may contain pre-printed or other written terms and conditions and the parties understand and agree that except for the number of licensed Run-Time Modules, or an increase in the amount of time Customer may distribute Run-Time Modules, such terms and conditions shall have no effect whatsoever and that the terms of this Agreement shall control.  Wind River may reject any Purchase Order that is outside the scope of this Agreement.  Wind River will invoice Customer for such Run-Time Modules upon confirmation and acceptance of Customer's Purchase Order.

7.2  Royalty Payments.  In lieu of ordering additional Run-Time Modules by submitting Purchase Orders, Customer may request to make quarterly royalty payments based on the number of Run-Time Modules reproduced by Customer during each quarter. Upon Wind River's approval of such request, Customer shall enclose payment with its quarterly reports. 

 

8.  PAYMENT, TAXES AND RECORDS.

 

8.1  Payment Terms.  The Software shall be deemed irrevocably accepted upon shipment.  Customer shall pay to Wind River the applicable Software license fees set forth in Wind River's current price list, unless otherwise agreed to in writing by Wind River.  License fees, other than for royalty payments, will be invoiced upon shipment of the Software.  All payment terms herein are subject to prior credit approval by Wind River.  Customer shall pay all invoices within thirty (30) days of the date of such invoice or, for royalty payments, within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter, in U.S. dollars.  Interest on any late payments shall accrue at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or partial month during which any sums under any such payment invoices were owed and unpaid, or the highest rate permitted by law, whichever is lower, from the date such amount is due until finally paid. Any failure of Customer to make payment of any payment invoice in the manner described in this Section may, at Wind River's discretion, be deemed a material breach of this Agreement for purposes of Section 5.  

 

8.2  Taxes. All payments and amounts due hereunder shall be paid without deduction or set-off or counter claim, free and clear of any restrictions or conditions, and without deduction for any taxes, levies, imposts, duties, fees, deductions, withholdings or other governmental charges.  If any deduction is required to be made by law, Customer shall pay in the manner and at the same time such additional amounts as will result in receipt by Wind River of such amount as would have been received by Wind River had no such amount been required to be deducted. If Customer is claiming sales or use tax exemption, a certified Tax Exempt Certificate must be attached to this Agreement or applicable Purchase Order submitted by Customer.  Customer shall promptly pay or reimburse all federal, state and local taxes (exclusive of taxes on Wind River's net income), duties and assessments, if any, due, arising from or measured by amounts payable to Wind River under this Agreement, or furnish Wind River with evidence acceptable to the taxing authority necessary to sustain any exemption therefrom.

 

8.3              Records; Distribution Reports.  Customer shall maintain accurate records of the location of each copy of the Software in Customer's possession, the location, the number of all licensed users of the Tools, the number of Run-Time Module copies made and distributed by or for Customer as well as the dates of manufacture and distribution, and the Target Applications into which such Run-Time Modules are embedded.  Within thirty (30) days of the end of each calendar quarter, Customer will submit a report ("License Report") via Wind River's on-line customer support web page, currently located at URL: www.windriver.com/reporting ("Reporting Site"), which includes the following information:

(a)            the number of Run-Time Modules and Target Applications manufactured by or for Customer during each calendar quarter, organized by Project and Target Application;

(b)        the Authorized Sites and number of Tools licenses being used for such Project(s) and Target Application(s);

(c)        Software usage reports for each calendar quarter, which reports are generated through the license management technology in the Software;

(d)        the Run-Time Module fees due to Wind River;

(e)        the production start and end dates for each Target Application; and

(f)         such other information as Wind River may reasonably request. 

 

Customer will provide the License Report each calendar quarter, even if no Run-Time Modules were manufactured during that quarter.  A copy of the License Report should be included with the payment of the Run-Time Module fees.  Wind River may change the location of its on-line customer support web page upon notice to Customer.

 

8.4  Audits. To ensure compliance with the terms of this Agreement, Wind River or its designated representative shall have the right, exercisable upon reasonable notice, to conduct an inspection and audit of all the relevant accounting and sales books and records of Customer, and to obtain true and correct photocopies thereof, during regular business hours at Customer's offices and in such a manner as not to interfere unreasonably with Customer's normal business activities. In no event shall such audits be conducted hereunder more frequently than once every twelve (12) months. If any such audit should disclose any underpayment of fees, Customer shall promptly pay Wind River such underpaid amount, together with interest thereon at a rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or partial month during which such amount was owed and unpaid, or the highest rate allowed by law, from the date such amount became due until finally paid. If the audit reveals that Customer has underpaid Wind River by five percent (5%) or more of amount owed, then Customer shall immediately reimburse Wind River for Wind River's expenses associated with such audit.

 

9.  LIMITED WARRANTY.

 

9.1  Limited Warranty. Wind River warrants that the media on which the Software is delivered will be free from defects in materials or workmanship for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of shipment of such media to Customer ("Warranty Period").  If during the Warranty Period the media on which Software is delivered proves to be defective, Wind River will repair or replace such media, at Wind River's option, as Customer's sole remedy for any breach of warranty hereunder. Customer assumes full responsibility for: (i) the selection of the Software; (ii) the proper installation and use of the Software; (iii) verifying the results obtained from the use of the Software; and (iv) taking appropriate measures to prevent loss of data.  Wind River does not warrant that the quality or performance of the Software will meet Customer's requirements or that Customer will be able to achieve any particular results from use or modification of the Software or that the Software will operate free from error.

 

9.2  WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN SECTION 9.1, WIND RIVER AND ITS LICENSORS DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED AND STATUTORY INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE GIVEN BY WIND RIVER, ITS DEALERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES SHALL IN ANY WAY INCREASE THE SCOPE OF THIS WARRANTY. Some jurisdictions do not allow the limitation or exclusion of implied warranties or how long an implied warranty may last, so the above limitations may not apply to Customer. This warranty gives Customer specific legal rights and Customer may have other rights that vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction.

 

10.  SUPPORT. The Software license fees do not include support, installation or training. Installation and training services, to the extent offered by Wind River, may be separately purchased at Wind River's then-current rates. Customer may request additional information on Wind River's support offerings from a Wind River sales representative.

 

11.  INFRINGEMENT INDEMNITY.  Wind River will defend and indemnify Customer from and against any losses, costs or damages arising from any claims brought by third parties against Customer insofar as such claims assert that the Software, as provided to Customer, infringes a US copyright or a previously issued U.S. patent, or misappropriates a trade secret; provided that Wind River is notified promptly of such claim and is given full and complete authority (including settlement authority), information and assistance by Customer for such defense.  In the event that the Software is held in any such suit to infringe such a right and its use is enjoined, or if in the opinion of Wind River the Software is likely to become the subject of such a claim, Wind River at its own election and expense will either (i) procure for Customer the right to continue using the Software or (ii) modify or replace the Software so that it becomes non-infringing while giving substantially equivalent performance. In the event that (i) or (ii) above are not, in Wind River's sole determination, obtainable using reasonable commercial efforts, then Wind River may terminate this Agreement and refund amount Customer paid Wind River under this Agreement for the Software which is the subject of such claim, less a reasonable charge for Customer's past beneficial use based on depreciation of the Software on a straight line basis over a period of three (3) years from the Effective Date.  The indemnification obligation shall not apply to infringement actions or claims to the extent that such actions or claims are based on or result from: (i) modifications made to the Software by a party other than Wind River; (ii) the combination of the Software with items not supplied by Wind River; (iii) the Third Party Software; and (iv) Customer's failure to use the most recent version of the Software provided by Wind River to Customer.  THIS SECTION STATES CUSTOMER'S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND WIND RIVER'S ENTIRE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIM OF INFRINGEMENT.

 

12.  CUSTOMER INDEMNITY.  Customer will defend at its expense and indemnify Wind River from and against any losses, costs or damages resulting from or in connection with any claims by third parties resulting from or in connection with the use, manufacture, or distribution of Target Applications by Customer and Customer's direct and indirect End Users in any country, provided that Wind River gives Customer prompt written notice of any such claim, tenders to Customer the defense or settlement of any such claim at Customer's expense, and cooperates with Customer, at Customer's expense, in defending or settling such claim.  This indemnification obligation shall not apply to infringement actions or claims if such actions or claims are based solely on the use of the Software in the form provided by Wind River.

 

13.  LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. WIND RIVER AND ITS LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, LOSS OF PROFITS, OR THE LIKE) REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT PRODUCT LIABILITY OR ANY OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EVEN IF WIND RIVER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL WIND RIVER'S AGGREGATE CUMULATIVE LIABILITY FOR ANY CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID TO WIND RIVER BY CUSTOMER PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of incidental or consequential damages so this limitation and exclusion may not apply to Customer.

THE LIMITED WARRANTY, LIMITED REMEDIES, WARRANTY DISCLAIMER AND LIMITED LIABILITY ARE FUNDAMENTAL ELEMENTS OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN BETWEEN WIND RIVER AND CUSTOMER. WIND RIVER WOULD NOT BE ABLE TO PROVIDE THE SOFTWARE WITHOUT SUCH LIMITATIONS.

 

14.  U.S. GOVERNMENT END USERS.  The Software is a "commercial item" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of "commercial computer software" and "commercial computer software documentation" as such terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212.  Consistent with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, Customer will provide the Software to U.S. Government End Users only pursuant to the terms and conditions therein.

 

15.  GOVERNING LAW AND FORUM. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the laws of the United States of America and the State of California without regard to conflicts of law principles. The parties agree that the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is specifically excluded from application to this Agreement.

 

15.1  Customers in North America.  If Customer's principal place of business is in North America, all disputes arising under this Agreement shall be brought exclusively in Superior Court of the State of California in Santa Clara County or the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California in San Francisco, California, as permitted by law. Customer consents to the personal jurisdiction of the above courts.

 

15.2  Customers Outside of North America.  If Customer's principal place of business is outside North America, all disputes arising under this Agreement shall be finally settled under the Rules of Arbitration of the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) by three arbitrators. Each party shall appoint one neutral arbitrator. The two arbitrators so appointed shall appoint the presiding arbitrator, who also shall be neutral, from a roster of arbitrators familiar with intellectual property disputes. If the two arbitrators to be appointed by the parties fail to agree upon a third arbitrator within fourteen (14) days of the appointment of the second arbitrator, the third arbitrator shall be appointed by the ICC from a roster of arbitrators familiar with intellectual property disputes. The arbitration procedure shall be conducted in the English language. Unless otherwise directed by the Arbitrators, the parties are limited to a single discovery request and response and may notice no more than five (5) depositions per party. Hearings shall be scheduled not later than sixty (60) days after receipt of the complainant and respondent's materials. Any such hearing shall be concluded, and a final award rendered, within ninety (90) days from the commencement of the hearing.

 

15.3  Site of Arbitration.  The arbitration proceeding set forth in Section 15.2 shall be conducted in London, United Kingdom, if Customer's principal place of business is in Europe, the Middle East, or Africa, and in Honolulu, Hawaii, if Customer's principal place of business is elsewhere outside North America.

 

16.  GENERAL. Customer shall not export or reexport the Software in violation of the export control laws of the United States and/or any other jurisdiction. If any legal action or proceeding is brought for the enforcement of this Agreement, or because of any alleged dispute, breach, default or misrepresentation in connection with any of the provisions of this Agreement, the successful or prevailing party or parties shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys' fees and other costs incurred in that action or proceeding, in addition to any other relief to which such party may be entitled.  It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any other provisions of this Agreement, breach of the provisions of this Agreement by Customer will cause Wind River irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate, and that Wind River shall therefore be entitled to obtain timely injunctive relief to protect Wind River's rights under this Agreement in addition to any and all remedies available at law.  Neither party shall be liable hereunder by reason of any failure or delay in the performance of its obligations hereunder (except for the payment of money) on account of strikes, shortages, riots, insurrection, fires, flood, storm, explosions, acts of God, war, governmental action, labor conditions, earthquakes, material shortages or any other cause which is beyond the reasonable control of such party.   The failure of either party to require performance by the other party of any provision hereof shall not affect the full right to require such performance at any time thereafter; nor shall the waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof be taken or held to be a waiver of the provision itself.    This Agreement may not be assigned, sub-licensed, or otherwise transferred (including by way of a merger) by Customer without Wind River's prior written consent. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as creating any agency, employment relationship, partnership, principal-agent or other form of joint enterprise between the parties.  In the event that any provision of this Agreement shall be unenforceable or invalid under any applicable law or be so held by applicable court decision, such unenforceability or invalidity shall not render this Agreement unenforceable or invalid as a whole, and, in such event, such provision shall be changed and interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such unenforceable or invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decisions.  This Agreement constitutes the complete, final and exclusive statement of the agreement between Wind River and Customer, which supersedes all proposals, oral or written, and all other communications between the parties relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. No waiver, alteration or modification of the provisions of this Agreement will be valid unless made in writing and signed by a corporate officer of Wind River. The terms and conditions of any Purchase Order or other instrument issued by Customer in connection with this Agreement which add to or differ from the terms and conditions of this Agreement (other than terms specifying the Approved CPU, Authorized Site, Wind River product desired, number of Tools users, and description of the Project) shall be of no force or effect.
