The rights and liabilities of the parties under this Agreement will bind and inure to the benefit of the parties’ respective successors and permitted assigns.

16.9 WAIVER AND MODIFICATION. Failure by either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. Any waiver, amendment or other modification of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by the parties.

16.10 SEVERABILITY. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be unenforceable, that provision of the Agreement will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to effect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.

Software support reinstatement charges may be incurred in the event of a lapse in Software support coverage and subsequent renewal.

5.1. Term of Support. These support services shall be for an initial support term of one year, and thereafter for successive periods of support renewal terms of one year each, unless and until terminated pursuant to Section 5.7 below.

5.2. Support Fee. To obtain support services under the Software Maintenance Policy, Licensee shall pay to Summit Summit’s standard annual service fee for the Licensed Product. All service fees are due and payable in full at the start of each service term for such Licensed Product described in Section 5.1 above. Summit may increase its annual service fees at, but only at, the beginning of a service term. If Licensee and Summit agree, the term of support may be modified and support fees prorated such that the term of support for all Licensed Product used by Licensee expire on the same date.

If Licensee and Summit mutually agree, Summit will provide maintenance services to Licensee that are not covered under this Section 5.3. If such services are ordered by Licensee and provided by Summit, they shall be governed by this Agreement, they shall be provided during normal business hours, excluding holidays observed by

Summit, and Licensee shall pay Summit’s then current standard charges for such service.

5.4 Excluded Services.

6 LIMITED WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER

THE LICENSED PRODUCT AND ALL OTHER ITEMS AND SERVICES PROVIDED IN CONNECTION WITH ANY EVALUATION LICENSE HEREUNDER ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” BASIS AND WITHOUT ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 6. With respect to any license hereunder other than Evaluation Licenses, Summit warrants that the Software will conform substantially to its Documentation for thirty (30) days from delivery and that the medium containing the Software will be free of defects in material and workmanship under normal use for thirty (30) days from delivery. Licensee must obtain a return authorization number from Summit before returning the Software, media, or a Peripheral to Summit. If Summit confirms a material non-conformity in the Software reported by Licensee in the unaltered Software, Summit will use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy the nonconformance. Summit does not warrant that the operation of the Licensed Product will be uninterrupted or error free, nor does it guarantee that its remedial efforts will correct any nonconformance. Corrections and replacements will be warranted for the remainder of the original warranty period. If any Software fails to comply materially with any limited warranty set forth in this Section 6 and Summit does not remedy such failure pursuant to this Section 6, Summit’s sole obligation and liability, and Licensee’s exclusive remedy for such failure shall be limited: (i) for nonconforming Software, to the refund of the license fee paid for such Software, upon the return of such Software to Summit, in which event this Agreement shall terminate; and (ii) for defective medium to replace the defective media that are returned to Summit within the warranty period. Some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of relief, incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation or exclusion may not apply to Licensee. Summit will have no obligation for non-conformities in the Software or defects in medium that are caused by accident, abuse, or misuse of the Software, medium, or Peripheral. In the event that Summit separately grants Licensee in writing the right to modify the Licensed Product, Licensee shall display Summit’s and/or its suppliers’ copyright, trademark, confidentiality and other notices on any portion of the Licensed Product so Used. SUMMIT MAKES NO CONDITIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, WRITTEN OR ORAL, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS SECTION 6. SUMMIT DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER CONDITIONS AND WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED AND IMPLIED, STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE, INCLUDING

WITHOUT LIMITATION THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND FREEDOM FROM INFRINGEMENT WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED PRODUCT AND ALL OTHER PRODUCTS, SUPPORT SERVICES, OTHER SERVICES, MATERIALS, DOCUMENTATION, AND OTHER ITEMS FURNISHED UNDER, OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.

7 INFRINGEMENT.

7.1 Summit to Defend. Summit will defend, at its own expense, any action against licenses based on a claim that the Licensed Product infringes a United States patent or United States copyright or involves misappropriation of a trade secret. Summit will pay such damages or costs as are finally awarded against Licensee for such infringement or misappropriation provided that Licensee gives Summit: (a) prompt written notice of any such action and of all prior related claims; (b) sole control of the defense and settlement of such action; and (c) full cooperation in any defense or settlement. Summit shall not be liable for any fees, costs, or damages incurred without such prompt written notice, control, and cooperation.

7.2 Exclusive Remedy. Should any Licensed Product become, or in Summit’s opinion be likely to become, the subject of a claim of infringement or trade secret misappropriation as set forth in Section 7.1 above, Summit shall, at its option and expense: (a) obtain for Licensee the right to continue using the Licensed Product, (b) replace or modify the Licensed Product so its use becomes no infringing or otherwise lawful; or (c) terminate the license granted hereunder with respect to the infringing Licensed Product or subcomponent and refund the applicable license fee paid by Licensee for the Licensed Product or subcomponent, less a reasonable allowance for past use based on straight-line depreciation over a three-year period.

7.3 Disclaimer. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Summit shall have no liability for any claim of infringement of a patent, copyright or other intellectual property right or trade secret misappropriation, based on the use of the Licensed Product: (a) on a computer for which it was not designed; (b) with any other product not supplied by Summit; (c) in any manner or purpose for which the Licensed Product was not designed; (d) if the infringement or misappropriation would have been avoided by Licensee’s use of the most current version of the Licensed Product; (e) if it has been modified by anyone other than Summit; or (f) infringing on intellectual property rights or trade secrets owned by Licensee or any of its affiliated companies.

7.4 Exclusive Remedy. THIS SECTION 7 STATES LICENSEE’S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND SUMMIT’S SOLE LIABILITY FOR THE LICENSED PRODUCTS OR SOFTWARE INFRINGING ON THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES OR CONSTITUTING A MISAPPROPRIATION OF THE TRADE SECRETS OF THIRD PARTIES.
