41. Ownership of Product or Work Products.

a. Definitions:

Product: A software tool purchased, licensed, or subscribed to and that has been developed by a third party and sold to the marketplace.

Work Product: Work completed by a third party that the District has ownership of, including software developed for the District as described in Article 20a(i) of Appendix T of the Patent Cooperation Treaty “Communication to Designated Offices;” a configuration for District use; District documentation in support of the Product; reports and analysis developed by the third party for the District; an any other result from the third party’s work expected to be owned by the District.

b. Choose (i,) (ii) OR (iii.)

(i) Not Applicable

(ii) District shall be the exclusive owner of all right, title, and interest, including without limitation all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secret, and all other intellectual property or proprietary rights, in and to anything that is created, produced, conceived, or developed by Contractor in the course of performing services for District under this Contract. This exclusive ownership includes, without limitation, any and all reports, analyses, studies, documentation, notes, drawings, computer programs (source code, object code, and listings), related documentation, inventions, creations, and any other material, work product, or work of authorship (collectively, "Work Product"). District and Contractor agree that all Work Product shall be deemed a "work made for hire" as that term is defined in Section 101 of the United States Copyright Act. As such, all copyrights in and to Work Product shall be the sole and exclusive property of District from the inception of their creation in tangible form.

To avoid any dispute regarding ownership of Work Product, Contractor hereby irrevocably assigns to the District all right, title, and interest, including all copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, and other intellectual property or proprietary rights, in and to the Work Product. Contractor shall take all action requested by District to vest ownership of Work Product in District and to permit District to obtain copyright, trademark, patent, or similar protection in District's name. Contractor appoints District as its agent and attorney-in-fact for the following limited purposes: (a) to take any action to obtain patents, copyrights, or other kinds of legal protection in the Work Product; (b) to assign those rights to District; and (c) to protect those rights from infringement. This appointment and power of attorney are irrevocable. Any action taken by District under this power of attorney will have the same legal effect as if Contractor did it itself. If Contractor has property rights that are incorporated in or necessary to the use of any Work Product, Contractor grants District and its agents and contractors a royalty-free, irrevocable, worldwide, non-exclusive license to use, disclose, reproduce, modify, license, and distribute such Work Product. Upon termination of this Contract or upon any earlier request by District, Contractor shall provide the Work Product and all copies thereof to District.

All right, title, and interest in and to any programs, systems, data, and materials furnished to Contractor by District are and shall remain the property of District except those programs, systems, data, or materials originally furnished by Contractor to District under separate license agreements.

(iii) Contractor licenses any and all goods or services provided to or developed for District ("Product”) according to the terms of Exhibit D (License Grant). District shall have no right in any pre-existing work product of Contractor provided to District by Contractor in the performance of this Contract, except to copy, use, or re-use any such work product for District use only.

c. Necessary New Work: Notwithstanding the License for the Product or Work Product set forth in this Contract, if in the course of completing the project implementation and management work set forth in Exhibit B (Statement of Work), Contractor designs and develops a new work product to facilitate the integration of the Product or Work Product with District's systems, Contractor hereby grants District a perpetual, royalty-free, fully-paid, non-exclusive, and irrevocable license to use or re-use, in whole or in part, such work products.

d. Prohibition: So long as Contractor provides support and maintenance for the Product or Work Product, District shall not alter, modify, adapt, translate, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or create derivative works from the Products or Work Product, nor take any other steps to produce a source language statement of the Products or Work Product or any part thereof without Contractor's express prior written consent.

42. Other Contractors. District reserves the right to enter into other agreements for work additional or related to the subject matter of this Contract, and Contractor agrees to cooperate fully with these other contractors and with the District. When requested by District, Contractor shall coordinate its performance under this Contract with such additional or related work. Contractor must not interfere with the work performance of any other contractor or District employees.

43. Nonperformance. As used in this Contract, "failure to perform" means failure, for whatever reason, to deliver goods and/or perform work as specified and scheduled in this Contract. If Contractor fails to perform under this Contract, then District, after giving seven days' written notice and opportunity to cure to Contractor, has the right to complete the work itself, secure the contracted goods and/or services from other contractors, or a combination thereof, as necessary to complete the work. Both parties agree that Contractor shall bear any reasonable cost difference, as measured against any unpaid balance due Contractor, for these substitute goods or services.

44. Maintenance. Contractor offers support and maintenance of its Products. Such support and maintenance includes

Updates and Upgrades. "Update" means a release of the Product (software) that includes a feature change, minor increased functionality, or minor improvements (including defect (bug) fixes). "Upgrade" means a release of the Product that includes an additional feature or significant improvement being added to the Product. Typical Upgrades will be those designated by Contractor as a change in the version number, being the number to the left of the decimal point in the Product version number. Terms for such Maintenance are described in Exhibit E (Maintenance) and shall describe service level obligations and contact information. Maintenance may be optional to District. Contractor may also provide maintenance for developed Work Products as described in Exhibit E, either on an as-needed basis or a regular schedule.

45. Escrow.

CHOOSE ONE:

Not Required

Required. To mitigate the parties’ risk, Contractor agrees to keep a current copy of the source code for Products in escrow under an agreement substantially in the form of Exhibit F (Escrow Agreement). Contractor agrees to keep such escrowed source code updated when an Upgrade (defined in Paragraph 43, “Maintenance”) is issued by Contractor. Escrow may be optional to District. The Escrow Agreement will include the following items:

e. Release of Source Code. The source code will be released to the District in accordance with the Escrow Agreement upon the occurrence of one or more of the following conditions:

(i) Contractor's failure to carry out obligations imposed on it by the Contract or any agreement between the District and Contractor relating to the use of the Products;

(ii) Contractor's announcement or acknowledgement that it will no longer support the version of the Products then being used by the District;

(iii) Contractor's failure to continue to do business in the ordinary course; and

(iv) Contractor is subject to voluntary or involuntary bankruptcy.

f. Definition of deposit materials. Materials to be deposited with each deposit are:

(i) Source code, including any customizations for District;

(ii) All related technical documentation;

(iii) A list of names and contact information for personnel who have been supporting the source code;

(iv) A list of third party code, including open source, needed to run the software and available from other sources;

and

(v) Compilers.

g. License to use escrowed materials. If source code is delivered to District, then District shall have a perpetual license to use and modify source code, as needed by District, for the sole purpose of maintaining its use of the Products.
