B.

Grant and Scope of License 1.

The parties agree that more than one agency of Licensee may license products under this Agreement, provided that any use of products by any agency must be made pursuant to one or more executed purchase orders or purchase documents submitted by each applicable agency seeking to use the Licensed Product.

For purposes of this Agreement, Licensee includes any public procurement unit as defined by the Commonwealth Procurement Code, 62 Pa.C.S. §1901. The parties agree that, if the Licensee is a “Commonwealth Agency” as defined by the Commonwealth Procurement Code, 62 Pa.C.S. §103, the terms and conditions of this Agreement apply to any purchase of products made by Licensee, when the purchase document issued by Licensee includes a reference to this Agreement, and that the terms and conditions of this Agreement become part of the purchase document without further need for execution. The parties agree that the terms of this Agreement supersedes and take precedence over the terms included in any purchase order, terms of any shrink wrap agreement included with the Licensed Product, terms of any click through agreement included with the Licensed Product, or any other terms purported to apply to the Licensed Product. If the Licensee is a public procurement unit as defined by the Commonwealth Procurement Code, 62 Pa.C.S. §1901 that is not a Commonwealth Agency, the fees set out in this Agreement apply to the purchase, but the Licensor must enter into a separate agreement with Licensee, which includes the same terms and conditions and this Agreement.

5.

Licensee may make a reasonable number of copies of the Licensed Product for bona fide back up purposes only. All such copies are subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

6.

Licensee shall not (and shall not permit any other party to) translate, decompile, reverse engineer, merge, adapt or modify the Licensed Product or any Updates in any way, and no derivative work may be created therefrom, unless otherwise permitted under the terms of this Agreement.

The Licensee shall pay its agent in accordance with the PO and the agent will pay Licensor the amounts set forth in the PO.

3.

It is hereby acknowledged that the Licensee is a government entity and thereby exempt from taxation.

D.

Confidentiality 1.

Each party agrees to secure and protect the Confidential Information of the other in a manner consistent with the maintenance of the other party’s rights therein, using at least as great a degree of care as it uses to maintain the confidentiality of its own confidential information of a similar nature, but in no event less than reasonable efforts. Each party agrees to hold the Confidential Information of the other party in confidence, not to disclose it to others or use it in any way, commercially or otherwise, except as authorized in writing by Licensee or in performance of its obligations under this Agreement.

Term and Termination 1.

The term of this Agreement shall be deemed to have commenced on the

Effective Date and shall continue from thereon until terminated by lawful means.

2.

In accordance with applicable regulations, either party may terminate this Agreement with written notice if the other party fails to comply with any material term or condition of this Agreement and fails to remedy such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of notice of such breach, provided, however, that Licensor may not terminate this agreement for reasons of nonpayment.

If Licensee elects to terminate this Agreement, Licensor shall be entitled to payment for satisfactory services rendered under the Agreement up to the effective date of termination

5.

Any payment obligation or portion thereof of Licensee created by this Agreement is conditioned upon the availability of Commonwealth or Federal funds which are appropriated or allocated for the payment of such an obligation or portion thereof; provided, however, that Licensee will request such funds each year during the Term. If such funds are not allocated and available, this Agreement may be terminated by Licensee at the end of the period for which funds are available. No penalty shall accrue to Licensee in the event this provision is exercised, and Licensee shall not be obligated or liable for any future payments due for any damages as a result of termination under this Article.

F. Warranties and Disclaimer; Limitation of Liability; Indemnification 1.

Licensor warrants that it has the full authority to grant the rights granted to Licensee herein. EXCEPT FOR THE FOREGOING EXPRESS WARRANTY, AND EXCEPT AS MAY BE OTHERWISE SET OUT IN THIS AGREEMENT, LICENSOR DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED PRODUCTS AND UPDATES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. EXCEPT FOR THE FOREGOING EXPRESS WARRANTY, THE LICENSED PRODUCTS AND UPDATES ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITH ALL FAULTS, AND LICENSEE UNDERSTANDS THAT IT ASSUMES ALL RISKS OF THEIR USE, QUALITY, AND PERFORMANCE.

2.

IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, RELIANCE, OR COVER DAMAGES, INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE, INCURRED BY EITHER PARTY OR ANY THIRD PARTY, EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ANY EVENT, LICENSOR'S TOTAL LIABILITY ARISING FROM OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY REASON SHALL BE LIMITED TO DIRECT DAMAGES UP TO THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF FEES PAID HEREUNDER DURING THE INITIAL TERM OR THE THEN-CURRENT RENEWAL TERM, AS APPLICABLE. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS APPLY TO ALL CAUSES OF ACTION IN THE AGGREGATE, INCLUDING BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, STRICT LIABILITY, NEGLIGENCE AND OTHER TORTS.

3.

Licensor agrees to indemnify and defend Licensee and its elected and appointed officers, officials, employees and agents from and against any action, claim, demand, or liability, including reasonable attorney’s fees and costs, arising from or relating to a claim the Licensed Product infringes upon any United States or foreign patents, copyrights, or trademarks of a third party and in any such suit or proceeding will satisfy any final award for such infringement, including costs. Licensee agrees to

- 2 -give Licensor prompt notice of any such claim of which it learns. Pursuant to the Commonwealth Attorneys Act 71 P.S. § 732-101, et. seq., the Office of Attorney General (OAG) has the sole authority to represent Licensee in actions brought against Licensee. The OAG may, however, in its sole discretion and under the terms it deems appropriate, delegate its right of defense. If OAG delegates the defense to Licensor, Licensee will cooperate with all reasonable requests of Licensor made in the defense of such suit. If OAG does not delegate its right of defense, Licensor may request that OAG seek to join Licensor as a third party. If OAG does not agree to seek to join Licensor as a third party, then Licensor may seek to intervene in the matter. If Licensor is not joined as a third party either through the OAG's joinder or through Licensor's intervention, there will be no contractual obligation on the part of Licensor to indemnify. No settlement which imposes any liability or damages of any kind on Licensee shall be made without Licensee's prior written consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. In all events, Licensee shall have the right to participate in the defense of any such suit or proceeding through counsel of its own choosing. It is expressly agreed by Licensor that, in the event it requests that Licensee provide support to Licensor in defending any such claim, Licensor shall reimburse Licensee for all expenses (including attorneys' fees, if such are made necessary by Licensor’s request) incurred by Licensee for such support Licensor shall pay all damages and costs awarded therein against Licensee arising from Licensor’s indemnification obligation under this paragraph. If information and assistance are furnished by Licensee at Licensor’s written request, it shall be at Licensor’s expense, but the responsibility for such expense shall be only that within Licensor’s written authorization.

If, in Licensor’s opinion, the Licensed Product, is likely to or does become subject to a claim of infringement, then without diminishing Licensor’s obligation to satisfy any final award, Licensor may, at its option, substitute functional equivalents for the Licensed Product or, at Licensor’s option and expense, obtain the rights for Licensee to continue the use of the Licensed Product. If the Licensed Product is in such suit or proceeding held to constitute infringement and the use or publication thereof is enjoined, Licensor shall, at its own expense and at its option, either procure the right to publish or continue use of the Licensed Product, replace the Licensed Product with non-infringing items, or modify the Licensed Product so that it is no longer infringing.

If neither alternative (i) nor (ii) is reasonably available, then Licensee may terminate the license for the infringing Licensed Product and no further payment obligations shall be due from Licensee therefor, and Licensor agrees to pay Licensee: (1) any amounts paid by Licensee for any future period under this Agreement less a reasonable amount based on the acceptance and use of the Licensed Product; (2) any license fee less an amount for the period of usage of any software; and (3) the prorated portion of any prepaid service fees representing the time remaining for any future period under this Agreement..

The obligation to indemnify Licensee, under the terms of this Section F(4), shall be Licensor’s sole and exclusive obligation and Licensee’s exclusive remedy for the infringement or misappropriation of intellectual property The obligations of Licensor under this Section continue without time limit and survive the termination of this Agreement

4.

Licensor shall have no liability or obligation under Section F(4) above, arising from or related to: (i) modification of the Licensed Product by Licensee; any material provided by Licensee to Licensor and incorporated into, or used to prepare, the Licensed Product; (ii) use of the Licensed Product in other than its specified operating environment; (iii) the combination, operation, or use of the Licensed Product with other products, services, or deliverables not provided by Licensor as a system or the combination, operation, or use of the Licensed Product with any products, data, or apparatus that Licensor did not provide; (iv) infringement of a non-Licensor product alone; (v) Licensee’s distribution, marketing or use beyond the scope contemplated by this Agreement; (vi) Licensee’s failure to use corrections or enhancements made available to Licensee by Licensor; (vii) the Running of the Licensed Product after Licensor has notified Licensee to discontinue Running due to an infringement claim (existing or prospective); or (viii) the use of a version of the Licensed Product that has been superseded by a newer version, if the infringement would have been avoided by use of a current version which Licensor has provided or made available to Licensee.

Licensee assumes all risks and liabilities for injury to or death of any person or damage to any property, in any manner arising out of possession, use, or operation of the Licensed Product by Licensee whether such injury or death be with respect to agents or employees of Licensee or of third parties, and whether such property damage be to Licensee’s property or the property of others; provided, however that said damage or injury results from the negligence of Licensee, its agents or employees, and provided that judgment has been obtained against the Licensee in a court of competent jurisdiction. This provision shall not be construed to limit the sovereign immunity of the Licensee.

G.

Maintenance and Support 1.

During the Term of this Agreement, Licensor agrees to provide the maintenance and support services as set forth in Appendix A (collectively, the “Support Services”) for the Licensed Product. The parties agree that Licensor shall have no obligations to provide any maintenance or support-related services under this Agreement except as expressly set forth herein.

2.

Licensee will designate, in writing, no more than two persons who will be Licensee’s primary support contacts for Support Services (the “Support Contacts”) related to each PO.

3.

All Updates and all other deliverables and work product hereunder provided to Licensee shall be subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, unless otherwise expressly agreed in writing by Licensor. Support Services extend only to the Licensed Product free of any additions or modifications that have not been made or sold by Licensor or its agents.

4.

Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the Support Services, Updates, and all other results of Support Services hereunder, and all work product and deliverables thereof (collectively, the “Licensor Materials”), are the sole and exclusive property of Licensor, including all worldwide Intellectual Property Rights embodied in, related to, or represented by, the Licensor Materials.

H.

Virus, Malicious, Mischievous or Destructive Programming Notwithstanding any other provision in this Agreement to the contrary, Licensor shall be liable for any damage to any data and/or software owned or licensed by Licensee if Licensor or any of its employees, subcontractors or consultants introduces a virus or malicious, mischievous or destructive programming into Licensee’s software or computer networks and has failed to comply with Licensee’s software security standards. Licensee must demonstrate that Licensor or any of its employees, subcontractors or consultants introduced the virus or malicious, mischievous or destructive programming. Licensor’s liability shall cease if Licensee has not fully complied with its own software security standards.

Licensor shall be liable for any damages incurred by Licensee including, but not limited to, the expenditure of Licensee funds to eliminate or remove a computer virus or malicious, mischievous or destructive programming that results from Licensor’s failure to take proactive measures to keep virus or malicious, mischievous or destructive programming from originating from Licensor or any of its employees, subcontractors or consultants through appropriate firewalls and maintenance of anti-virus software and software security updates (such as operating systems security patches, etc.).

In the event of destruction or modification of software, Licensor shall eliminate the virus, malicious, mischievous or destructive programming, restore Licensee’s software, and be liable to the Licensee for any resulting damages.

Licensor shall be responsible for reviewing Licensee software security standards and complying with those standards.

Licensee may, at any time, audit, by a means deemed appropriate by Licensee, any computing devices being used by representatives of Licensor to provide services to Licensee for the sole purpose of determining whether those devices have anti-virus software with current virus signature files and the current minimum operating system patches or workarounds have been installed. Devices found to be out of compliance will immediately be disconnected and will not be permitted to connect or reconnect to Licensee’s network until the proper installations have been made.

Licensor may use the anti-virus software used by Licensee to protect Licensor’s computing devices used in the course of providing services to Licensee. It is understood that Licensor may not install the software on any computing device not being used to provide services to Licensee, and that all copies of the software will be removed from all devices upon termination of this Agreement.

Licensee will not be responsible for any damages to Licensor’s computers, data, software, etc. caused as a result of the installation of Licensee’s anti-virus software or monitoring software on Licensor’s computers.

I.

Background Checks -3- Licensor must, at its expense, arrange for a background check for each of its employees, as well as for the employees of its subcontractors, who will have access to Licensee’s IT facilities, either through on site or remote access. Background checks are to be conducted via the Request for Criminal Record Check form and procedure found at http://www.psp.state.pa.us/psp/lib/psp/sp4-164.pdf. The background check must be conducted prior to initial access by an IT employee and annually thereafter.

Before Licensee will permit an IT Employee access to Licensee’s facilities, Licensor must provide written confirmation to the office designated by the agency that the background check has been conducted. If, at any time, it is discovered that an IT Employee has a criminal record that includes a felony or misdemeanor involving terrorist threats, violence, use of a lethal weapon, or breach of trust/fiduciary responsibility; or which raises concerns about building, system, or personal security, or is otherwise job-related, Licensor shall not assign that employee to any Licensee facilities, shall remove any access privileges already given to the employee, and shall not permit that employee remote access to Licensee facilities or systems, unless the agency consents, in writing, prior to the access being provided. The agency may withhold its consent at its sole discretion. Failure of Licensor to comply with the terms of this paragraph may result in default of Licensor under its contract with Licensee.
