TO THE EXTENT THAT PLACEWARE MAY NOT, AS A MATTER OF APPLICABLE LAW, DISCLAIM ANY WARRANTY, THE SCOPE AND DURATION OF SUCH WARRANTY WILL BE THE MINIMUM PERMITTED UNDER SUCH LAW.

10. INDEMNIFICATION
10.1 Indemnification by Company.
(a) Subject to Section 10.2, Company agrees to defend, indemnify and hold harmless PlaceWare from and against any suits, damages, liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees, except as limited in Section 10.2) as a result of any third party (including any End User) claim arising from or relating to:
(i) any breach by Company of its obligations, duties, or responsibilities under this Agreement, including, without limitation, a breach of Section 9.3;
(ii) any actions or omissions on the part of Company in reproducing, marketing or distributing the Licensed Software, InfoWorkSpace or LaunchPad, as applicable;
(iii) any claims against PlaceWare made by End Users who receive the Licensed Software from Company; or
(iv) any breach by an End User of the applicable End User License Agreement.
(b) Subject to Section 10.2, Company will defend, indemnify and hold harmless at its own expense any action against PlaceWare brought by a third party to the extent that the action is based upon a claim that the LaunchPad or InfoWorkSpace infringes any copyrights or patents or other intellectual property right or misappropriates any trade secrets recognized as such under the Uniform Trade Secret law, and Company will pay those costs and damages finally awarded against PlaceWare in any such action that are specifically attributable to such claim or those costs and damages agreed to in a monetary settlement of such action.

[***] INDICATES MATERIAL THAT HAS BEEN OMITTED AND FOR WHICH CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN REQUESTED. ALL SUCH OMITTED MATERIAL HAS BEEN FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 24b-2 PROMULGATED UNDER THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934, AS AMENDED
STATES COMPANY’S ENTIRE LIABILITY AND PLACEWARE’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR THE INFRINGEMENT CLAIMS AND ACTIONS DESCRIBED HEREIN.
10.2 Procedure. Any indemnification obligation of Company (“Indemnifying Party”) to indemnify Placeware (“Indemnified Party”), whether set forth in this Section 10 or elsewhere in this Agreement is predicated upon the following: (i) the Indemnifying Party is notified in writing within thirty (30) calendar days of receipt of any statement or claim against the Indemnified Party; provided that failure to promptly notify shall not limit the claim for indemnification hereunder except to the extent that such failure actually prejudices the Indemnifying Party; (iii) the Indemnifying Party may not make any admissions to any third party regarding the claim or settle any indemnified claim except as approved by the Indemnified Party in writing or as required by applicable law to avoid deemed admissions; and (iv) the Indemnified Party reasonably cooperates with the Indemnifying Party, at the Indemnifying Party’s expense, in the defense and/or settlement of such claim. The Indemnifying Party will not settle any such claim without the Indemnified Party’s prior written consent, which will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. The Indemnified Party will have the right, at its own expense, to participate in the defense and related settlement negotiations of any indemnifiable claim with counsel of their own selection, and the Indemnifying Party will consult with the Indemnified Party in connection with defense and settlement. This Section 10 states the entire liability of either party in respect of any third-party claim. Nothing contained in this provision or Agreement is, however, intended to require the Indemnifying Party to pay to the Indemnified Party any amount other than (1) the costs of the Indemnified Party’s defense, if the Indemnifying Party elects not to defend; and (2) such amounts actually paid by the Indemnified Party to the third-party claimant, if the Indemnifying Party fails to pay the third-party claimant directly for any settlement approved by the parties or any finally awarded judgment in favor of the third-party claimant.
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR A BREACH OF SECTIONS 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5(A), 2.6(B), 7.4 AND 8, IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR ANY LOST DATA OR LOST PROFITS, ARISING FROM OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT. EXCEPT FOR A BREACH OF SECTIONS 2.1, 2.2, 2.3, 2.4, 2.5(A), 2.6(B), 7.4 AND 8, EITHER PARTY’S TOTAL CUMULATIVE LIABILITY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE LICENSED SOFTWARE, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT OR OTHERWISE, WILL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT OF FEES PAID TO PLACEWARE BY COMPANY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT IN THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE EVENT(S) GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS AND RESTRICTIONS DO NOT APPLY TO THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS AS PROVIDED IN SECTION 10. Company acknowledges that the fees set forth in this Agreement reflect the allocation of risk set forth in this Agreement and that PlaceWare would not enter into this Agreement without these limitations on its liability. Company agrees that PlaceWare’s suppliers will have no liability of any kind under or as a result of this Agreement. The foregoing limitations of liability are independent of any exclusive remedies for breach of warranty set forth in this Agreement.

12.2 Termination.

(b) Force Majeure. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice, if a force majeure event (pursuant to Section 13.10) continues for more than forty-five (45) days with respect to the other party.
12.3 Effects of Termination
(a) Payment; Licenses; Licensed Software. Upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, any amounts owed to PlaceWare under this Agreement before such termination or expiration will be immediately due and payable, all license rights granted in this Agreement will immediately cease to exist, and Company will cease all further use, reproduction, and distribution of the Licensed Software and User Documentation, except that (i) Company may keep and use one (1) copy of the Licensed Software and User Documentation solely for use by Company to support existing End Users through the end of the then-current support term for each End User; and (ii) Company must destroy or return (at PlaceWare’s option) to PlaceWare all copies of the Licensed Software and User Documentation that the Company is not entitled to keep pursuant to this Section 12.3(a) and certify to PlaceWare in writing signed by an officer of Company that it has fully complied with this requirement.

Company will remove the Licensed Software and User Documentation from its LaunchPad and InfoWorksSpace products prepared for subsequent distribution.
(b) End User Agreements. End User License Agreements granted by Company in accordance with Section 2.5 of this Agreement (and the licenses granted therein) will survive the expiration or termination of this Agreement in accordance with their terms.
(c) Survival. Sections 1, 2.2, 2.4, 6.4 through 6.8, 8, 9.2, 9.3, 10, 11, 12.3 and 13 will survive expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason.
13. GENERAL.
13.1 Export and Import Laws. Company will comply with all applicable export and import control laws and regulations in its use of the Licensed Software and, in particular, Company will not export or re-export the Licensed Software without all required United States and foreign government licenses. Company will defend, indemnify, and hold harmless PlaceWare from and against all fines, penalties, liabilities, damages, costs, and expenses incurred by PlaceWare as a result of any violation of such laws or regulations by Company or any of its agents or employees.
13.2 Assignment. Company may not assign any portion of this Agreement either by contract or by operation of law. As used in this Agreement, the term “assign” includes: (a) any change of ownership of beneficial interest in Company where greater than a twenty percent (20%) interest is transferred (whether in a single or a series of transactions); (b) a merger of Company with another party, whether or not Company is the surviving entity; (c) the acquisition of more than twenty percent (20%) of any class of Company voting stock (or any class of non-voting security convertible into voting stock) by another party (whether in a single transaction or a series of transactions); or (d) the sale of more than fifty percent (50%) of Company’s assets (whether in a single transaction or series of transactions). If Company attempts to assign this Agreement, Placeware has the right to terminate it.
13.3 Notices. All notices, consents and approvals under this Agreement must be delivered in writing by courier, by electronic facsimile (fax), or by certified or registered mail, (postage prepaid and return receipt requested) to the other party at the address set forth beneath such party’s signature, and will be effective upon receipt or three (3) business days after being deposited in the mail as required above, whichever occurs sooner. Either party may change its address by giving notice of the new address to the other party.
13.4 Governing Law and Venue. The rights and obligations of the parties under this agreement will not be governed by the provisions of the 1980 United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods or the United Nations Convention on the Limitation Period in the International Sale of Goods, as amended; rather, these rights and obligations under this Agreement will be governed in all respects by the laws of the State of Washington, and Company consents to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal courts sitting in King

County, Washington, unless no federal subject matter jurisdiction exists, in which case Company consents to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the Superior Court of King County, Washington. Company waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non-conveniens. Process may be served on either party in the manner authorized by applicable law or court rule. In any action to enforce any right or remedy under this Agreement or to interpret any provision of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover its reasonable attorneys’ fees, costs and other expenses.
13.5 Remedies. Except as provided in Sections 9 and 10, the parties’ rights and remedies under this Agreement are cumulative. Company acknowledges that the Licensed Software contains valuable trade secrets and proprietary information of PlaceWare. Any actual or threatened breach of Section 2 or 8 will constitute immediate, irreparable harm for which monetary damages would be an inadequate remedy, and that injunctive relief is an appropriate remedy for such breach. If Company continues to distribute the Licensed Software after its right to do so has terminated or expired, PlaceWare will be entitled to immediate injunctive relief without the requirement of posting bond, including an order directing that any copies of the Licensed Software, or any portions thereof, that Company attempts to import into any country or territory be seized, impounded, and destroyed by customs officials.
13.6 Waivers. All waivers must be in writing. Any waiver or failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement on one occasion will not be deemed a waiver of any other provision or of such provision on any other occasion.
13.7 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is unenforceable, such provision will be changed and interpreted to accomplish the objectives of such provision to the greatest extent possible under applicable law and the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, Section 11 will remain in effect notwithstanding the unenforceability of any provision in Section 9.2.
13.8 Construction. The headings of Sections of this Agreement are for convenience and are not to be used in interpreting this Agreement. As used in this Agreement, the word “including” means, “including but not limited to.”
13.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which will be considered an original, but all of which together will constitute the same instrument.
13.10 Force Majeure. Any delay in the performance of any duties or obligations of either party (except the payment of money owed) will not be considered a breach of this Agreement if such delay is caused by a labor dispute, shortage of materials, fire, earthquake, flood, or any other event beyond the control of such party, provided that such party uses reasonable efforts, under the circumstances, to notify the other party of the circumstances causing the delay and to resume performance as soon as possible.

13.11 Independent Contractors. Company’s relationship to PlaceWare is that of an independent contractor, and neither party is an agent or partner of the other. Neither party will have, and neither party will represent to any third party that it has, any authority to act on behalf of the other.
13.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including the Exhibits attached hereto which are incorporated herein, constitutes the entire agreement between the parties regarding the subject hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, understandings, and communication, whether written or oral.
