"golden master" object code or executable copy of any or all of the Software
Products listed in Exhibit A and one complete and accurate copy of the
associated Documentation, and/or (ii) at IMG's option, one copy of the Source
Code for that Software Product. Upon completion of development of each
additional Software Product (including each Update), VERITAS shall provide to
IMG one complete and accurate "golden master" object code or executable copy of
that Software Product (or Update) and one complete and accurate copy of the
associated Documentation, for evaluation and use by IMG. If IMG has requested
the Source Code for any Updated Software Product, or if IMG requests the Source
Code for a new Software Product, then VERITAS shall also provide to IMG the
Source Code for the Update or Software Product. It is understood, however, that
some Software Products may include portions licensed from third parties, for
which VERITAS does not have the Source Code, or is not permitted to sublicense
the Source Code, and that VERITAS shall not be obligated to provide such Source
Code to IMG. VERITAS agrees, however, to use reasonable efforts to obtain the
right to sublicense to IMG any such Source Code which VERITAS does have.
6.3 End User Licensing. IMG will use an End User license agreement for
Software Products that includes provisions similar, as to protection of
VERITAS' interests, to Sections 2, 3, and 7 of Exhibit C hereto. It is
understood and agreed that, without limitation, this may be (i) a "shrinkwrap"
agreement that appears on or in the software package, (ii) an online agreement
that appears on the End User screen when the software is first used, and/or
(iii) a "web wrap" agreement that appears before, or in connection with, the
End User's electronic receipt of the software.
6.4 Use of Distributors. IMG shall be entitled to distribute Software
Products directly to End Users and/or through Distributors, in its discretion.
IMG shall be entitled to sublicense Distributors to reproduce Software Products
for use and distribution by the Distributor, and shall be entitled to
sublicense End Users to reproduce Software Products for use by the End User or
its affiliated companies (e.g., site, enterprise, or multiple-seat licenses).
Except as may be expressly
-12-
14
provided herein, there shall be no restrictions whatsoever on which
distribution channels IMG may use.
6.5 License Keys. When necessary, VERITAS will supply IMG with all
License Keys required by IMG to exercise the rights and licenses granted to IMG.
6.6 Marketing Collateral. VERITAS will provide IMG with marketing
materials, brochures, graphics, and all other similar existing materials, which
IMG shall be entitled to copy and modify for use in connection with marketing
the Software Products. For VERITAS-branded Software Products, VERITAS will
provide to IMG such quantities of materials as IMG may reasonably require.
6.7 Trademarks. IMG will market and distribute the VERITAS
Application Software Products under the applicable VERITAS trademarks. IMG will
have the right to market and distribute the Base Software Products and OEM
Software Products under IMG trademarks, under VERITAS trademarks, under third
party trademarks, or, if agreed, co-branded with VERITAS' and IMG's trademarks.
VERITAS hereby grants to IMG a non-exclusive license to use "VERITAS," both the
name and in the stylized form used by VERITAS, and the applicable Software
Product trademarks (the "Trademarks") in connection with IMG's distribution,
advertising and promotion of the Software Products. IMG's use shall be in
accordance with the applicable law and VERITAS' reasonable policies regarding
advertising and trademark usage as established from time to time, but only to
the extent such policies are communicated in writing to IMG with adequate
notice.
6.8 Product Discontinuance. VERITAS has the right to discontinue any
Software Product, or the availability of Media Kits for any Software Product,
upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to IMG. This shall not, however,
affect IMG's and its Distributors' and other sublicensees' right to continue to
make and distribute Software Copies made by such parties pursuant to Section 6.1
above, provided that IMG shall not, after such discontinuance, market or
distribute any discontinued Software Product under VERITAS' trademarks. VERITAS
shall provide IMG at least twelve (12) months prior written notice of
discontinuance of support for any Software Product.
6.9 Ownership.
(a) Subject to the rights and licenses granted herein and except
for the IMG Developments, VERITAS shall retain its ownership of the Software
Products and Documentation supplied to IMG by VERITAS. The rights granted to IMG
are nonexclusive, and, except as set forth in Section 6.6 below, VERITAS
reserves the right to distribute the Software Products directly, and indirectly
through OEMs, distributors, integrators, or otherwise.
(b) Subject to VERITAS' retention of ownership of the underlying
Software Product, IMG and VERITAS shall jointly and equally own all Software
Product modifications, and other developments resulting in derivative works,
prepared by or for IMG pursuant to Section 6.1 above and all intellectual
property rights with respect thereto arising out of such developments, with no
duty to account, and IMG hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns, and agrees to
transfer and
-13-
15
assign, such joint ownership to VERITAS. IMG agrees to execute such documents,
render such assistance, and take other action as VERITAS may reasonably request,
at VERITAS' expense, to apply for, register, perfect, confirm and protect
VERITAS' rights in the jointly owned developments, including without limitation
an assignment of copyright. IMG hereby waives any and all moral rights,
including any right to identification of authorship or limitation on subsequent
modification, that IMG (or its employees, agents or consultants) has or may have
in any such jointly owned developments.
7. Orders For Media Kits and License Key Forms
7.1 Orders. For each Media Kit and License Key IMG desires to acquire
from VERITAS, IMG shall place a written zero dollar purchase order with
VERITAS. All orders placed with VERITAS for the Media Kits and/or License Key
forms shall be subject to acceptance by VERITAS, which acceptance shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed. If VERITAS is unable to accept a proposed
delivery date, VERITAS shall propose an alternative date as soon as possible
after the requested date. If orders for the Media Kits and/or License Keys
exceed VERITAS' inventory, VERITAS shall allocate available inventory on a
basis that provides IMG no lesser priority than any other customer.
7.2 Forecast. IMG agrees to submit to VERITAS an initial Media Kit order
forecast (in Software Product units) for the first six months commencing after
the Effective Date of this Agreement, and to update the six (6) month forecast
fifteen (15) days after the beginning of each calendar quarter.
7.3 Shipments. All shipments are F.O.B. VERITAS' facility or VERITAS'
designated warehouse facility. Shipments will be any ground carrier unless the
order specifies otherwise. Media Kits and License Key forms will be shipped
within ten (10) working days from the date ordered by IMG. IMG shall pay for
all shipping costs associated with shipping Media Kits from VERITAS to IMG.
7.4 New Versions. VERITAS may, at its sole discretion, modify the Software
Products. Once a new version of the Software Product begins shipping, IMG has
sixty (60) days from first VERITAS shipment date or from written notification
date, whichever is later, to return Media Kit inventory of the prior release at
its expense. Returned packages will be swapped by VERITAS unit-for-unit with the
Software Product for the new release of the same Software Product and shipped to
IMG at VERITAS' expense. Only unopened packages will be accepted.
7.5 Warranty. VERITAS warrants that, until ninety (90) days after
delivery to the End User, each Media Kit will be free of defects in materials
and workmanship. VERITAS' exclusive obligation shall be to promptly replace
each defective Media Kit returned to VERITAS during the warranty period. IMG
shall obtain a return materials authorization (RMA) from VERITAS for each
return, which RMA shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. VERITAS shall
be responsible for all associated shipping costs.

8. Development by VERITAS.
8.1 Development.
(a) From time to time during the term of this Agreement, IMG may
wish to develop compatibility with IMG Products new products or technologies,
additional features, derivative technologies, or enhancements of the Software
Products (e.g., for IMG requirements not satisfied by VERITAS' then current
Software Product offerings), and/or to ensure or achieve integration with IMG
products. Each product feature or other development pursuant to this section
will be made available to IMG either as standard VERITAS Software Product or, if
VERITAS elects not to release such a standard Software Product, as a special IMG
version.
(b) For each development requested by IMG, VERITAS will, within
thirty (30) days after IMG's request, provide IMG with an initial "Executive
Response" as to whether VERITAS intends to perform such development. VERITAS
shall not unreasonably refuse to perform such development. If VERITAS responds
that it intends to perform such development, VERITAS shall, in a timely fashion,
commence work on preparation of a proposed Statement of Work, and in a timely
fashion provide to IMG a good faith proposed Statement of Work. If both parties
determine that the development should proceed, then the parties shall,
diligently and in good faith, and in a timely fashion negotiate and complete the
Statement of Work for that development, including a reasonable Development
Schedule, in accordance with VERITAS' then-current "VERSE" software development
guidelines. At any time during preparation of the Statement of Work, either
party may decline to proceed with the development. If the parties agree on a
Statement of Work, VERITAS will in a timely fashion assign a competent,
appropriately staffed development team to perform such development and will
commence the development. IMG will not unreasonably withhold its consent to
extensions of these time periods when the complexity or extent of the requested
development necessarily requires longer periods, so long as VERITAS is
diligently endeavoring to complete these activities in a timely fashion.
(c) Each development team assembled and/or assigned by VERITAS,
pursuant to Section 8.1(b) or 8.1(c) above, shall be comparable in expertise to
other effective development teams assembled or assigned by VERITAS to high
priority development projects.
(d) Without limitation, IMG shall be entitled to develop, or have
developed, any work requested by IMG pursuant to this section which VERITAS does
not perform. If this work pertains to an Application Product, then the license
to IMG, pursuant to Section 6.1(c) above (and particularly clause (i) thereof),
with respect to that Application Product, shall be deemed to include the right
to perform such work, and the ownership provisions of Section 6.9(b) shall
extend thereto.
8.2 Delivery and Acceptance.
For each Statement of Work:
(a) VERITAS shall use diligent efforts to complete each Milestone,
and to deliver to IMG all applicable Deliverables, in accordance with the
Development Schedule. Upon
-15-
17
completion of each Milestone, VERITAS shall deliver to IMG all applicable
Deliverables, including documentation, for evaluation by IMG pursuant to Section
8.2(b) below.
(b) Upon delivery to IMG of the Deliverables for each Milestone,
including related documentation, IMG shall evaluate such Deliverables for
conformity to the acceptance criteria in the Statement of Work and conformity in
all material respects to the Specifications. IMG shall provide VERITAS within
thirty (30) days (or, if so specified, the applicable time period specified in
the Statement of Work) after delivery of such materials with written acceptance
thereof, or a statement of applicable defects to be corrected. VERITAS shall
promptly correct such defects and return the corrected Deliverables for
retesting and reevaluation, and IMG shall within fifteen (15) days (or, if so
specified), the applicable time period specified in the Statement of work) after
such redelivery provide VERITAS with written acceptance or a statement of
defects. If IMG has not accepted any Milestone within sixty (60) days of the
applicable Milestone completion date set forth in the Development Schedule, then
the parties shall meet to determine, in good faith, a mutually acceptable
corrective plan. If IMG determines that the parties are unable to agree on a
corrective plan, or if VERITAS fails to perform its obligations in accordance
with any agreed corrective plan, then IMG may, upon written notice to VERITAS,
elect to terminate the Statement of Work immediately on notice to VERITAS. Until
such election to terminate by IMG, VERITAS shall continue to attempt to correct
the defects and provide conforming Deliverables. Upon any such termination,
VERITAS shall refund to IMG all amounts paid to VERITAS pursuant to that
Statement of Work. Any failure of IMG to perform its obligations in any
Statement of Work shall result in a day-for-day extension of VERITAS'
obligations in that Statement of Work which are dependent on such performance by
IMG.
8.3 Royalties for Distribution of Developments. For IMG Developments
resulting in new versions of Software Products, the royalties payable by IMG
shall be based on the VERITAS the current list price for that new version, as
set forth in Section 9.1(c) below. For IMG Developments resulting in new
products, the parties will agree upon any royalties to be paid to VERITAS for
distribution by IMG of such new products. Any such royalties will be reasonable
and will reflect IMG's most favored pricing status pursuant to Section 9.8
below. IMG will be entitled to distribute such completed products pending
completion of negotiation of any royalty amounts.
8.4 Ownership of Developments. IMG and VERITAS will jointly and
equally own each development made pursuant to this Section 8, and all
intellectual property rights with respect thereto, with no duty to account, and
VERITAS hereby irrevocably transfers and assigns, and agrees to transfer and
assign, such joint ownership to IMG. VERITAS agrees to execute such documents,
render such assistance, and take such other action as IMG may reasonably
request, at IMG's expense, to apply for, register, perfect, confirm, and protect
IMG's rights in the jointly owned developments, including without limitation an
assignment of copyright. VERITAS hereby waives any and all moral rights,
including any right to identification of authorship or limitation on subsequent
modification, that VERITAS (or its employees, agents or consultants) has or may
have in any such jointly owned developments.

9. Payments to VERITAS.
9.1 Royalty.
(a) IMG agrees to pay to VERITAS the applicable royalty for
each Software Product copy made (or acquired from VERITAS as a Media Kit) and
shipped by IMG (or, if the copy is made by a IMG Distributor, for each such
copy shipped by the Distributor) (in each case, other than replacement, backup,
or archival copies) net of returns, provided that no royalty shall be payable
with respect to (i) Software Products provided for demonstration, support,
promotional, evaluation (e.g., "Beta"), or marketing purposes, or for use for a
limited period for evaluation; (ii) Software Products provided as warranty,
maintenance, or other replacements; or (iii) Software Products used by IMG or
its Affiliates as End Users.
(b) The royalty payable for derivative works of Software
Products prepared by IMG (or for IMG, except pursuant to Section 8 above) shall
be the same as the royalty payable on the underlying Software Product on which
the derivative work is based.
(c) It is understood that royalties for OEM Software
Products and Application Software Products are normally a percentage of
VERITAS' then current list price for that Software Product, and that a different
pricing model will be established for Base Software Products.
9.2 Internal Use. IMG and its Affiliates shall be entitled to
reproduce and use the Software Products as End Users at no charge and without
restriction as to number of copies or users.
9.3 Royalty Payments. Royalty payments shall be due within
forty-five (45) days after the end of each IMG fiscal quarter, based on Software
Copies distributed by IMG during that quarter. Royalty payments shall be
accompanied by a report stating the number of royalty bearing units which IMG
shipped in that quarter.
9.4 Development Fees.
(a) For the development services described in Section 8
above, IMG will pay VERITAS at the "Annual Rate". The initial Annual Rate shall
be one hundred eighty thousand dollars ($180,000) per person-year. Commencing
January 1, 2002, the Annual Rate shall be adjusted to equal the product of the
then current Annual Rate multiplied by a fraction, the numerator of which is
the Consumer Price Index published for the December immediately preceding the
January 1 in question and the denominator of which is the Consumer Price Index
published for the immediately preceding December; provided, however, that any
such increase in the Annual Rate shall not be greater than seven percent (7%)
of the immediately preceding Annual Rate.
(b) IMG will recover any development fees or other NRE
charges paid to VERITAS by a fifteen percent (15%) reduction in the royalties
paid by IMG to VERITAS, with respect to the product(s) resulting from that
development, until all such amounts are recovered by IMG. Any amounts not so
recovered by IMG upon termination of this Agreement shall be retained by
VERITAS.
-17-
19
9.5 Support Fees. For the support, maintenance, error correction,
and training services to be provided by VERITAS pursuant to this Agreement
(including without limitation to IMG and its Affiliates as End Users), IMG shall
pay, to VERITAS, VERITAS' standard fees therefor, provided that the fees to IMG
in its capacity as an OEM, and not as an End User, shall be no higher than the
support, maintenance, or error correction fees charged by VERITAS to any
similarly situated third party.
9.6 VERITAS Audit Rights. Until three (3) years after the
applicable royalty bearing event, VERITAS shall at any time, on at least ten
(10) business days prior notice to IMG, be entitled to retain an independent
certified public accounting firm to audit the books and records of IMG
pertaining to the payment of royalties to VERITAS hereunder, for the sole
purpose of confirming the accuracy of the royalty payments and no more
frequently than once in any twelve (12) month period. Any such audit shall be
performed at VERITAS' expense during normal business hours and, at IMG's
option, subject to the accounting firm's agreement to comply with
confidentiality obligations comparable to those in Section 16 below. The
accounting firm shall not, however, be prohibited from reporting to VERITAS the
results of the audit. In the event of any discrepancy, the applicable party
shall promptly remit to the other party all amounts due.
9.7 Currency. All payments to VERITAS hereunder shall be in United
States dollars.
9.8 Most Favored Pricing. IMG will be entitled to purchase or
license each Software Product at the lowest rate or price at which VERITAS
provides the Software Product, or any similar competitive, or replacement
Software Product, to any similarly situated third party for similar volumes.
VERITAS agrees that if it charges a lower such royalty to any applicable
third party during the term of this Agreement for the same or any similar or
competitive product, it will immediately notify IMG in writing and IMG shall be
entitled to amend this Agreement to provide the lower royalty to IMG thereafter.
9.9 IMG Audit Rights. IMG shall at any time, on at least ten (10)
business days prior notice to VERITAS, be entitled to retain an independent
certified public accounting firm to audit the books and records of VERITAS, for
the sole purpose of confirming VERITAS' compliance with Sections 9.5 and/or
9.8. Any such audit shall be performed at IMG's expense during normal business
hours and, at IMG's option, subject to the accounting firm's agreement to
comply with confidentiality obligations substantially equivalent to those in
Section 16 below. The accounting firm shall not, however, be prohibited from
reporting to IMG the results of the audit. Any adjustment resulting from an
audit shall be retroactive to the date when IMG was entitled to the lower
development fee or royalty, as applicable, pursuant to this Section 9.
9.10 Taxes. IMG will be responsible for all sales, use, or similar
taxes levied on IMG's purchase of Media Kits, or on IMG's payment of royalties
or other fees to VERITAS. With respect to sales of Media Kits by VERITAS to
non-U.S. IMG Affiliates, the parties will cooperate to eliminate any
withholding tax, or to provide for a company with the opportunity to obtain a
tax credit thereon to pay the tax.

20
10. Marketing and Cooperation.
10.1 Press Release. IMG and VERITAS agree to issue a joint press
release within fifteen (15) days after the Effective Date. The content of this
press release shall be mutually agreed, and the content of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇
releases, pertaining to amendments to this Agreement, shall be mutually agreed,
except to the extent a party believes, in good faith, that unilateral
disclosure (including disclosure prior to such agreement as to content) is
required by law.
10.2 Marketing Plan. The parties will engage in cooperative joint
marketing efforts as mutually agreed. Unless otherwise agreed, the parties will
share the expenses for such efforts equally. These efforts may include, without
limitation, joint press releases, joint customer calls, marketing campaigns, Web
pages, and trade shows.
10.3 Co-Branding of Products. From time to time, the parties may
agree to sell co-branded products, on terms and conditions to be mutually
determined.
10.4 Access to New Products. VERITAS will provide IMG with access
to new products and technology no later than it provides such access to any
third party, and will use its reasonable efforts to provide earlier access to
IMG on a "first look" basis.
10.5 Seagate Technology, Inc. Restrictions. The parties acknowledge
that, as an Affiliate of Seagate, IMG is subject to the restrictions of Section
6.8 of the Development and License Agreement between Seagate and VERITAS. That
Section 6.8 shall not apply to (i) the activities of IMG pursuant to this
Agreement, or (ii) IMG (or its successor) if and when IMG is no longer an
Affiliate of Seagate.
11. Software Support, Maintenance, and Training. VERITAS agrees to provide
to IMG support, maintenance, and training for the Software Products in
accordance with Exhibit E. VERITAS will make available its standard end user
support to IMG and its Affiliates as End Users.
12. Term and Termination.
12.1 Term. This Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and
shall continue in full force and effect for an initial term of three (3) years
unless and until earlier terminated as set forth herein. This Agreement shall
automatically renew for additional twelve (12) month periods unless either
party gives written notice of its intent to terminate or renegotiate this
Agreement to the other party at least sixty (60) days prior to the end of the
then current term.
12.2 Default. If either party defaults in the performance of any of
its material obligations hereunder and if any such default is not corrected
(or, in the case of defaults incapable of such cure, the defaulting party takes
reasonable actions to minimize the effects of the default) within forty-five
(45) days after it shall have been called to the attention of the defaulting
party, in writing, by the other party, then the other party, at its option,
may, in addition to any other remedies it may have, thereupon terminate this
Agreement by giving written notice of termination to the other party,
-19-
21
provided that any such termination by VERITAS shall not be effective unless and
until adjudication by a court of competent jurisdiction that IMG has materially
breached this Agreement.
12.3 Insolvency. This Agreement may be terminated by either party, on
notice, (i) upon the institution by the other party of insolvency, receivership
or bankruptcy proceedings, or any other proceedings for the general settlement
of all or substantially all of its debts, (ii) upon the institution of such
proceedings against the other party, which are not dismissed or otherwise
resolved in its favor within sixty (60) days thereafter, (iii) upon the other
party's making a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, or (iv) upon
the other party's dissolution or ceasing to conduct business as a going concern,
or upon taking corporate action to dissolve or to cease business as a going
concern.
12.4 Survival. Except as may be otherwise expressly set forth herein, the
parties' rights and obligations pursuant to Sections 6.9, 7.5, 8.4, 9.1 and 9.3
(as to distribution prior to the effective date of termination or expiration),
2, 3, 4, 5, 13, 14, 15, 16, and 17 shall survive any termination or expiration
of this Agreement. In addition, the parties' rights and obligations pursuant to
Section 11 shall survive until twelve (12) months after the effective date of
termination or expiration. After termination or expiration, IMG shall be
entitled to retain and use a reasonable number of Software Copies, and
Documentation, for support and maintenance purposes. In addition, VERITAS will
cooperate with IMG to enable IMG to continue to distribute Software Products for
a reasonable time to effect an orderly phase out of such distribution. All
Software Product End User licenses, and IMG's and its Affiliates' right to use,
as End Users, Software Copies existing as of the effective date of termination
or expiration, shall survive perpetually.

14. Indemnities.
14.1 Infringement Indemnity. VERITAS, at its sole expense, will defend any
action brought against IMG, any IMG Distributors, or their End User customers
("Indemnified Parties") to the extent based on a claim that any Software Product
or Documentation infringes any patent, copyright, trade secret, or other
intellectual property right. VERITAS will pay any award against the Indemnified
Parties, or settlement entered into on the Indemnified Parties' behalf, and will
indemnify and hold IMG harmless against all liability, costs, expenses, and
direct damages suffered or incurred by IMG, based on such infringement or claim
thereof, provided however that IMG shall notify VERITAS promptly in writing of
the claim, shall provide reasonable assistance (at VERITAS' expense) in
connection with the defense and/or settlement thereof, and shall permit VERITAS
to control the defense and/or settlement thereof. Any settlement which restricts
any of IMG's rights, licenses, or activities, or requires the payment of money
by IMG (whether or not such payment is indemnified hereunder) shall be subject
to IMG's prior written approval, which approval shall not be unreasonably
withheld. IMG shall be entitled to retain, at its expense so long as VERITAS
performs its obligations pursuant to this section, counsel to participate in the
defense and settlement of any claim. VERITAS shall have no liability to the
extent the alleged infringement is caused by any modification of the Software
Products or Documentation other than by VERITAS, or by combination of the
Software Products or Documentation with IMG products or other non-VERITAS
programs, where the unmodified Software Products or Documentation alone would
not have given rise to the claim. In the case any such excluded claim IMG shall
defend and indemnify VERITAS to the same extent, and subject to the same
conditions, as provided herein. The foregoing states the exclusive remedy of
VERITAS and the sole liability of IMG for intellectual property infringement.
14.2 VERITAS Infringement Options. In the event any Software Product or
Documentation is held to infringe any intellectual property right, or if use or
distribution of the Software Product or Documentation is enjoined, then VERITAS
shall, at its sole expense, use diligent efforts to (i) appropriately modify the
Software Product and/or Documentation licensed hereunder to eliminate the
infringement, or substitute another Software Product and/or Documentation which
does not infringe any third party intellectual property rights, provided that
the modified or substitute Software Product and Documentation is equivalent in
all material respects; or (ii) obtain a license with respect to the applicable
third party intellectual property rights. In the event that VERITAS is not able
to achieve (i) or (ii) above, VERITAS shall refund to IMG all payments made by
IMG hereunder with respect to affected Software Copies.
14.3 Exclusive Remedy. Except as set forth in Section 14.4 with respect to
Section 9.3, the foregoing states the exclusive remedy of IMG and the sole
liability of VERITAS for intellectual property infringement.
14.4 Indemnity. VERITAS will indemnify and hold IMG harmless against all
liability, costs, and expenses (including without limitation attorneys fees)
arising out of any claim against IMG arising out of any breach by VERITAS of any
of the representations or warranties set forth in Sections 13.1, 13.2 and 13.3
above.

24
15. Limitation of Liability.
IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR LOST PROFITS OR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR INDIRECT DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON
ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT. The foregoing
limitations, however, (i) shall not limit either party's obligations, with
respect to liability to third parties pursuant to Section 14 above, and (ii)
shall not affect either party's liability, if any, for contribution or
indemnity with respect to third party claims for personal injury, death, or
physical damage to property.
16. Confidentiality.
16.1 Confidential Information. As used in this Agreement, the term
"Confidential Information: shall mean program source code and associated
technical documentation and any information disclosed by one party to the other
pursuant to this Agreement which is in written, graphic, machine readable or
other tangible form and is marked "Confidential", "Proprietary" or in some
other manner to indicate its confidential nature. Confidential Information may
also include oral information disclosed by one party to the other pursuant to
this Agreement, provided that such information is designated as confidential at
the time of disclosure and is reduced to writing by the disclosing party within
a reasonable time (not to exceed thirty (30) days) after its oral disclosure,
and such writing is marked in a manner to indicate its confidential nature and
delivered to the receiving party.
16.2 Confidentiality. Each party shall treat as confidential all
Confidential Information of the other party, shall not use such Confidential
Information except as set forth herein, and shall use reasonable efforts not to
disclose such Confidential Information to any third party except as may be
necessary or useful in connection with the exercise of rights or the
performance of obligations pursuant to this Agreement, and subject to
confidentiality obligations comparable to those set forth in this Section 16.
Without limiting the foregoing, each of the parties shall use at least the
same degree of care which it uses to prevent the disclosure of its own
confidential information of like importance to prevent the disclosure of
Confidential Information disclosed to it by the other party under this
Agreement. Each party's obligations pursuant to this section shall expire, with
respect to any Confidential Information, four (4) years after the initial
disclosure of that Confidential Information to that party.
16.3 Exceptions. Notwithstanding the above, neither party shall have
liability to the other with regard to any Confidential Information of the other
which:
(i) was in the public domain at the time it was disclosed or has
become in the public domain through no fault of the receiving party;
(ii) was known to the receiving party, without confidentiality
restriction, at the time of disclosure;
-23-
25
(iii) is disclosed with the prior written approval of the
disclosing party;
(iv) was independently developed by the receiving party without
any use of the Confidential Information;
(v) becomes known to the receiving party, without restriction, from
a source other than the disclosing party without breach of this Agreement by the
receiving party and otherwise, to the best of the receiving party's knowledge,
not in violation of the disclosing party's rights; or
(vi) is disclosed generally to third parties by the disclosing party
without restrictions similar to those contained in this Agreement.
In addition, neither party shall have liability pursuant to this section for
disclosures required by the order or requirement of a court, administrative
agency, or other governmental body; provided, that such party shall provide
prompt, advanced notice thereof to enable the other party to seek a protective
order or otherwise prevent such disclosure.
17. General.
17.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the laws of the State of California, without reference to
conflict of laws principles.
17.2 Confidentiality of Agreement. Each party shall be entitled to disclose
the existence of this Agreement, but agrees that the terms and conditions of
this Agreement shall be treated as Confidential Information and shall not be
disclosed to any third party; provided, however, that each party may disclose
the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
(i) as required by an court or other governmental body;
(ii) as otherwise required by law;
(iii) to legal counsel of the parties;
(iv) in confidence, to banks, investors and other financing sources
and their advisors;
(v) in connection with the enforcement of this Agreement or rights
under this Agreement; or
(vi) in confidence, in connection with an actual or prospective
merger or acquisition or similar transaction.
17.3 Partial Invalidity. If any provision in this Agreement shall be found
or be held to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction in which this
Agreement is being performed, then the
-24-
26
meaning of said provision shall be construed, to the extent feasible, so as to
render the provision enforceable, and if no feasible interpretation would save
such provision, it shall be severed from the remainder of this Agreement, which
shall remain in full force and effect. In such event, the parties shall
negotiate, in good faith, a substitute, valid and enforceable provision which
most nearly effects the parties' intent in entering into this Agreement.
17.4 Independent Contractors. The parties hereto are independent
contractors. Nothing contained herein or done in pursuance of this Agreement
shall constitute either party the agent of the other party for any purpose or
in any sense whatsoever, or constitute the parties as partners or joint
venturers.
17.5 Modification. No alteration, amendment, waiver, cancellation or any
other change in any term or condition of this Agreement shall be valid or
binding on either party unless the same shall have been mutually assented to in
writing by both parties.
17.6 Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce at any time any of the
provisions of this Agreement, or the failure to require at any time performance
by the other party of any of the provisions of this Agreement, shall in no way
be construed to be a present or future waiver of such provisions, nor in any way
affect the right of either party to enforce each and every such provision
thereafter. The express waiver by either party of any provision, condition or
requirement of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any future
obligation to comply with such provision, condition or requirement.
17.7 Assignment. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the
benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and assigns;
provided, however, that neither party shall assign any of its rights,
obligations, or privileges (by operation of law or otherwise) hereunder without
the prior written consent of the other party. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
however, either party may assign this Agreement to a successor in interest (or
its equivalent) of all or substantially all of its relevant assets, whether by
sale, merger, or otherwise, provided that IMG shall not be entitled to so assign
this Agreement to a direct competitor of VERITAS. As of the Effective Date,
VERITAS' direct competitors are set forth in Exhibit G hereto. VERITAS shall be
entitled to update this list annually, subject to IMG's approval of the updated
list, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld. Any attempted
assignment in violation of this section shall be void. Any assignee (by
operation of law or otherwise) shall, as a condition of such assignment, agree
in writing with the non-assigning party to perform the assigning party's
obligations pursuant to this Agreement.
17.8 Notices. Any notice required or permitted to be given by either
party under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be personally
delivered or sent by commercial courier service (e.g., DHL), or by first class
mail (certified or registered), or by telecopy confirmed by first class mail
(registered or certified), to the other party at its address first set forth
above, or such new address as may from time to time be supplied hereunder by
the parties hereto. If mailed, notices will be deemed effective three (3)
working days after deposit, postage prepaid, in the mail.
17.9 Force Majeure. Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, and
except for the obligation to pay money, no default, delay or failure to perform
on the part of either party shall
-25-
27
be considered a breach of this Agreement if such default, delay or failure to
perform is shown to be due to causes such as strikes, lockouts or other labor
disputes, riots, civil disturbances, actions or inactions of governmental
authorities or suppliers, epidemics, war, embargoes, severe weather, fire,
earthquakes, acts of God or the public enemy, nuclear disasters, default of a
common carrier, or similar causes beyond reasonable control of the party charged
with a default.
17.10 No Third Party Beneficiaries. Unless otherwise expressly provided, no
provisions of this Agreement are intended or shall be construed to confer upon
or give to any person or entity other than VERITAS and IMG any rights, remedies
or other benefits under or by reason of this Agreement.
17.11 Counterpart Originals. This Agreement may be executed in two (2) or
more English language counterparts or duplicate originals, all of which shall be
regarded as one and the same instrument, and which shall be the official and
governing version in the interpretation of this Agreement.
17.12 Entire Agreement. The terms and conditions herein contained,
including exhibits, constitute the entire agreement between the parties and
supersede all previous agreements and understandings, whether oral or written
and including the parties' Term Sheet, between the parties hereto with respect
to the subject matter hereof.
