configure Local Recovery Basic such that it only works on HP Hardware and Legacy Hardware.

The co-branded version of any Update or Upgrade will be provided to HP within a commercially reasonable period of time from the general commercial release of such Update or Upgrade.”

 

  “1.21 Local Recovery Pro. “Local Recovery Pro” shall mean a version of the Altiris Local Recovery Pro v6.0 software and any Updates or Upgrades thereto that are released by Altiris for general distribution to its other licensees during the Distribution Period of this Agreement (as defined in Section 3.21). As used in this Section, the term “Update” means a fix or compilation of fixes (e.g., service packs) released by Altiris to correct operational defects or program bugs in the software. The term “Upgrades” means any new version of the software product that bears the same product name, including version changes evidenced by a number change immediately to the right or left of the decimal (e.g., Local Recovery Pro v6.0 to v6.1 or Local Recovery Pro v6.0 to v7.0).

Altiris is granted no other right to any other HP trademark or service mark, or for use of the HP Mark in any other manner or with any other products or services, even if such products and/or services are similar to those listed above. HP does not grant Altiris a license to reproduce, use, display, and/or affix the HP Mark for the sale, re-sale or other distribution of the Local Recovery Products by Altiris or other parties not a party to this Amendment. HP reserves the right to use the HP Mark in all ways and in any capacity whatsoever.

 

  3.20.1 Altiris’ Use of the HP Mark. Altiris’ use of the HP Mark shall be in accordance with applicable trademark law and HP’s trademark usage guidelines attached hereto as Exhibit 2 and fully incorporated herein by reference.

(“HPDC”) has the exclusive right, title and interest in the HP Mark, its use, applications and registration(s), and that HPDC may, in its sole discretion, license its use to others. HPDC shall retain all right, title and interest in and to the HP Mark. All rights arising out of Altiris’ use of the HP Mark shall inure strictly to and only for the exclusive benefit of HPDC. Altiris agrees to cooperate with HP and its affiliate, HPDC, at HPDC’s expense, in executing and filing with applicable government or administrative offices such documents as may be reasonably necessary.

MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMED. The limitations of liability set forth in Section 12.4 of the Agreement shall also apply as between Altiris and HPDC.

 

  3.20.7 Duty to Defend HP Mark.

 

a. Altiris’ Duty to Defend. In addition to the infringement indemnity provisions set forth in Section 12.3 (“Infringement Indemnity”) of the Agreement, and such provisions will also apply to HPDC only with respect to Local Recovery Products, Altiris shall defend or settle, at its expense, any claim made or any suit or proceeding brought against HP and its affiliated companies and subsidiaries, and their respective employees, subcontractors, officers and directors insofar as it is based on an allegation that Altiris’ use of the HP Mark is not in compliance with this Amendment. Altiris’ obligations set forth in this Section 3.20.7(a) are subject to the conditions that HP provide prompt written notice to Altiris of the claim, informs Altiris of any subsequent written communications related to the claim, and reasonably cooperate in the defense of such claim at Altiris’ expense. Altiris shall have sole control of the defense or settlement of such claim, except where the HP Mark is the subject of a third party trademark infringement claim (or similar legal theory), in which case HP shall have the right to approve the defense and settlement thereof which might impact HP or HPDC’s trademark rights. Any damages or other awards recovered for infringement (or other legal theory) of the HP Mark shall belong solely to HP. All other damages or other awards recovered under this Section 3.20.7(a) shall belong solely to Altiris.

 

b. HPDC’s Duty to Defend. HP shall defend or settle, at its expense, any claim made or any suit or proceeding brought against Altiris and its affiliated companies and subsidiaries, and their respective employees, subcontractors, officers and directors insofar as it is based on an allegation that the HP Mark, as used in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this Amendment, infringes a trademark (or similar legal theory) of a third party. HP’s obligations set forth in this Section 3.20.7(b) are subject to the conditions that Altiris provides prompt written notice to HP of the claim, informs HP of any subsequent written communications related to the claim, and reasonably cooperates in the defense of such claim at HP’s expense. HP shall have sole control of the defense or settlement of such claim. Any damages or other awards recovered for trademark infringement (or similar legal theory) of the HP Mark shall belong solely to HP.

 

THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF THE PARTIES WITH RESPECT TO INDEMNIFICATION IN CONNECTION WITH THE SUBJECT MATTER HEREIN. NOTHING IN THIS AMENDMENT SHALL BE CONTRUED TO CONSTITUTE ONE PARTY THE AGENT OF THE OTHER PARTY FOR THE PURPOSE OF ACCEPTING SERVICE OF LEGAL PROCESS OR BINDING A PARTY AS PRINCIPAL TO ANY REPRESENTATION, COMMITMENT OR AGREEMENT MADE BY THE OTHER PARTY IN CONNECTION WITH THE MANUFACTURE, SALE OR DISTRIBUTION OF ANY LOCAL RECOVERY PRODUCTS.

 

  3.20.8 Injunctive Relief. It is understood and agreed that, notwithstanding any other provision of this Amendment or the Agreement, any breach of this Amendment by either party may cause irreparable damage for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate, and that the non-breaching party shall therefore be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief, in a court of competent jurisdiction, to protect such party’s rights under this Amendment in addition to any and all remedies available at law.
