4. Restrictions Applicable to License Grants.

 

Symantec will deliver to Brightmail the non-serialized copy of the Licensed Product in an acceptable form.

If Brightmail elects to distribute the Licensed Product via electronic download or physical media, or under such other arrangements as allowed herein where Brightmail gives access to the Licensed Product to an Authorized Sublicensee or the Licensed Product otherwise leaves the sole control of Brightmail, Brightmail must provide a secure infrastructure for the process and for the protection of Symantec’s intellectual property rights in the Licensed Product that meets the requirements listed herein, which requirements may be modified, from time to time by Symantec upon written notice to Brightmail, as well as any further guidelines that Symantec may provide to Brightmail from time to time. If at any time during the Term of this Agreement, Symantec determines Brightmail’s security policies are not sufficient to comply with the standards that Symantec requires or otherwise determines they are inadequate to protect Symantec’s intellectual property rights in the Licensed Products, Symantec will have the right to terminate Brightmail’s ability to distribute the Licensed Product in that manner. Brightmail agrees to comply with the following security guidelines, as modified and added to, from time to time:

 

1) All servers hosting the Licensed Products for download must be secure from both internal and external exploits and/or hackers and the servers must meet the requirements set forth in Exhibit C, which Symantec can change from time to time in its sole discretion, and which Symantec shall provide Brightmail notice of such changes pursuant to the notice provisions of this Agreement. Brightmail must contractually require Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers contractually, and enforce the same on Symantec’s behalf, to meet the foregoing requirements if they host the Licensed Product for download. Symantec agrees that Brightmail shall not be required to expend more than Ten Thousand Dollars ($10,000) annually to comply with the audit requirements set forth in Exhibit C.

 

2) Brightmail must ensure each Authorized Sublicensee is actually under a contractual arrangement with Brightmail and that the access to the download of the BMI Product is protected by such other technology and other measures designed to prevent unauthorized downloads and copying of the Licensed Products.

 

3) When providing the Licensed Products to an Authorized Sublicensee via physical media, Brightmail must contractually require the Authorized Sublicensee receiving the physical media read and fully understand the applicable licensing usage terms. Brightmail is responsible for contractually requiring that Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers to not abuse Symantec’s licensing terms when receiving and using the Licensed Products in any form, which includes but is not limited to, unauthorized copying and/or distribution and enforce the foregoing on Symantec’s behalf. Brightmail has no authorization to duplicate its own CD-roms containing only the Licensed Product.

 

Brightmail is not allowed to transfer or otherwise sublicense the Licensed Product(s) to any Enterprise or third party, including but not limited to, any non ISP or non ASP entity that procure the Licensed Product for use in conjunction with the entities’ internal needs, other than as specifically provided for in this section of this Agreement. This Agreement specifically prohibits Brightmail from authorizing or to knowingly allowing any Authorized Sublicensee to utilize the Licensed Product(s) to provide Services as a Service Provider, except as specifically provided for in this Section III of the Agreement. All such licenses and authorizations provided by Brightmail under the terms of this Agreement must be obtained pursuant to a direct, written end

 

7


user license agreement between Brightmail and the Authorized Sublicensee and/or a direct, written and fully executed agreement with the Authorized Sublicensee and/or Reseller, authorizing such use of the Licensed Product(s) as a Service Provider or End User or otherwise and requiring full compliance with the applicable terms of this Agreement, including but not limited to, those protecting Symantec’s intellectual property rights and meeting all the requirements set forth in Section III. Brightmail must promptly notify Symantec of the name of each Authorized Sublicensee, Enterprise and each Reseller in its reporting that is granted a license and also promptly notifies Symantec of any improper use of the Licensed Product(s) by any Authorized Sublicensee, Enterprise or Reseller.

 

IV. PRICES, PAYMENTS, AUDIT AND ORDER PROCEDURE

 

1. Tax Issues and Other Fees for Licensed Product(s) as Service Provider. The prices for the Licensed Products, and, therefore Payments, do not include any state or federal (U.S. or foreign government) taxes or fees. Brightmail is responsible for any and all such Payments due to Symantec and any and all taxes and fees imposed upon Brightmail. Except for Symantec’s income taxes, Brightmail agrees to pay any and all sales, use, value added, withholding, excise and similar taxes on Payments under this Agreement (the “Taxes”). Symantec will be responsible for its own income tax and fee obligations. If Brightmail claims an exemption from Taxes, Brightmail will provide to Symantec an acceptable copy of all documentation showing the legal exemption from such Taxes. If a foreign government requires Brightmail to withhold Taxes on Payments to Symantec, then Brightmail must: 1) provide Symantec with official receipts for reflecting the actual amount of Taxes withheld, which are adequate to meet the needs of Symantec, in order for Symantec to receive credit for such Taxes paid; and 2) minimize withholdings to the extent possible. The minimization requirement is to protect Symantec’s exposure to the limitation imposed by the Irish Commissioners of Revenue for such credit.

 

2. Payment Terms.

 

a. By Brightmail as a Licensee and Service Provider. All Payments for Licensed Products are non-refundable and due regardless of Brightmail’s ability to collect from its Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers. Brightmail will receive an invoice for all Payments related to the Licensed Product(s). Payments are due when specified in Exhibit A regardless of receipt of invoice. If any Payment is not received within net thirty (30) calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter or in accordance with the terms of the Minimum Commitment Payment, by the specified Payment date in Exhibit A, Symantec may impose interest and late charges of one and one half percent (1-1/2%) per month until all Payments are current. Brightmail may charge its Authorized Sublicensees such license fees as it so determines for the BMI Services incorporating the Licensed Products. Brightmail must pay all Payments which represent license fees for the Licensed Products net thirty (30) days from the last Friday of the calendar quarter in arrears for BMI Services provided to the Authorized Sublicensees which are Existing Business, which timing does not apply to Minimum Commitments. The Payment and terms for the Bulk License, Minimum Commitment Payments and Existing Business are set forth in Exhibit A.

 

b. Currency and Place of Payment. All of the foregoing described Payments due to Symantec will be paid in the appropriate currency to the appropriate region. Payments will be made to Symantec Corporation in US Dollars, free of any withholding tax, currency control, or other restrictions for all transactions in the Americas. Payments will be to Symantec Limited in U.S. Dollars, free of any withholding tax, currency control, or other restrictions for all transactions in AsiaPac/EMEA. As to any portion of the Payments for the Bulk License which are for future Authorized Users and not actual Authorized Users, Brightmail shall pay the unknown Authorized Users portion as if they were Authorized Users within the Americas and pay in U.S. Dollars. All Payments and reports for the Americas region should be sent to Symantec Corporation, Revenue Manager, 20330 Stevens Creek Boulevard, Cupertino, CA 95014. All

3. Audit and Records.

 

Brightmail will maintain its records relating to the provision of BMI Services with the Licensed Products as a Service Provider for at least three (3) years after their creation.

Symantec (or an independent third party representative), upon reasonable written notice of no less than ten (10) calendar days, will have the right to conduct an audit of Brightmail’s books of account, records, contracts or other information which relate to this Agreement and the Licensed Products, in order to verify compliance with this Agreement. Brightmail will immediately pay any overdue Payments revealed by such audit(s). Symantec will bear the costs of the audit; provided, however, if the audit reveals overdue Payments in excess of five percent (5%) of the Payments owed for any six (6) month period, Brightmail will pay the costs of such audits(s). All information obtained by Symantec (or its independent third party representative) during any such audit will be confidential and Symantec (and its independent third party representatives) will keep it confidential, except to the extent it is reasonably necessary to disclose such information to enforce this Agreement or as otherwise required by law.

 

V. NOTIFICATIONS AND REPORTING

 

1. Notification. Brightmail will notify Symantec in writing of any claim or proceeding involving Licensed Product(s) and/or the BMI Service within ten (10) days after Brightmail learns of such claim or proceeding. Brightmail will report promptly to Symantec all claimed or suspected product defects in the Licensed Product. Brightmail will also notify Symantec in writing not more than thirty (30) days after any change in control of Brightmail or any transfer of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Brightmail’s voting control or a transfer of substantially all its assets.

 

2. Reporting.

Information does not include information or materials that the receiving Party can demonstrate (i) is on the date hereof, or hereafter becomes, through no act or failure to act or violation of this Agreement on the part of the receiving Party, generally known or available to the public, (ii) was known or possessed by the receiving Party before its receipt from the disclosing Party, (iii) is hereafter rightfully obtained by the receiving Party from a third party, without breach of any obligation to the disclosing Party, or (iv) is independently developed by the receiving Party, without use of or reference to the Information, by persons who had no access to the Information.

 

c. Each Party covenants and agrees that neither it nor its agents, employees, officers, directors or representatives will (i) use any of the Information except in performance of this Agreement or (ii) disclose any Information to third parties other than Authorized Sublicensees and/or Resellers, as necessary to sublicense the Licensed Product from the Effective Date of this Agreement and during the Term and for a period of five (5) years from the termination of this Agreement, whether terminated by Symantec or by Brightmail, unless required to be disclosed by law or a judicial authority. Each Party further covenants and agrees to protect the Information obtained from the other with the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own confidential information of like importance, but in no event less than reasonable care. The receiving Party may disclose Information only to its employees and contractors having a “need-to-know” for the purposes of this Agreement.

IX. TERM OF AGREEMENT

 

This Term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall continue for a period of three (3) years (the “Term”). This Agreement shall automatically expire at the end of the Term and nothing contained herein shall be interpreted as requiring either Party to renew or extend this Agreement, and neither Party expects this Agreement to be renewed; provided, however, that this Agreement may be terminated prior to the expiration of its stated Term as set forth below. This Agreement may be extended by an amendment extending the Term and updating the Price, which is signed by the authorized signatory of each Party. There are limited Run Off Periods provided for in this Agreement and therefore, Brightmail is advised to negotiate its renewal and extension of the Term, pursuant to an amendment, in sufficient advance of its needs for its Authorized Sublicensees. The license grants in Section III(2)(v) & (vi) are for one (1) year from the Amended Date, and shall automatically renew unless cancelled by Licensee, which can only be done by providing Symantec a written notice of non-renewal which must be received no later than March 26, 2004; and thereafter, on an annual basis, Brightmail may provide a notice of non-renewal to Symantec no later than by the last Friday of the calendar quarter.

 

X. TERMS AND CONDITIONS

 

1. Restrictions on Use.

 

a. Allowed Business Use of the Licensed Products. Brightmail covenants and agrees to use the Licensed Product only with BMI Products as part of the BMI Services as provided to Authorized Sublicensee for making the Service available to Authorized Users in accordance with the terms of the Agreement. Brightmail shall not permit any person or party other than Authorized Sublicensees to use the Licensed Product; provided, however, that Brightmail may use the Licensed Product internally for testing purposes and to provide support to Authorized Sublicensees.

 

b. Modifications, Reverse Engineering. Brightmail covenants and agrees that only Symantec shall have the right to alter, maintain, enhance or otherwise modify the Licensed Products, and all of the related Documentation, except as specifically provided for in this Agreement.

Brightmail shall not adapt, modify, translate, distribute, duplicate, copy, transfer possession of, loan, lease, or resell for profit the Licensed Product except as specifically provided for in this Agreement. Brightmail shall immediately report to Symantec and halt unauthorized copying, use, distribution, installation, or transfer of possession of the Licensed Product, by any person or entity of which Brightmail has knowledge. Prior to disposing of any media or apparatus containing the Licensed Product or any part thereof, Brightmail will ensure that any Licensed Product contained on such media or stored in such apparatus has been completely erased or otherwise destroyed.

 

c. Protection of Information. Brightmail acknowledges that the Licensed Product and all related Documentation are proprietary to Symantec and comprise (i) works of original authorship, including compiled information containing Symantec’s selection, arrangement, and co-ordination and expression of such information or pre-existing material it has created, gathered or assembled, (ii) confidential trade secret information, and (iii) information that has been created, developed and maintained by Symantec at great expense of time and money such that misappropriation or unauthorized use by others would unfairly and irreparably harm Symantec. In addition to Brightmail’s obligations outlined in Section VII, Brightmail shall

 

11


not commit or permit any act or omission that would impair Symantec’s proprietary and intellectual property rights in the Licensed Products, and all of the Documentation.

 

d. Trademarks, Trade Names and Copyrights.

 

(i) Trademark Use and Co-branding Guidelines. At all times in every advertisement, promotion and branding of the BMI Service, Brightmail will do the following and contractually require the Authorized Sublicensee to do the same in regards to the Service, and enforce the same on Symantec’s behalf, to do the following: (i) use either or both: (a) the trademark “Powered by Symantec” including any related logos, or (b) the Symantec logos and trademarks associated with the Licensed Products; and (ii) ensure that all statements (written or oral) concerning the Licensed Product shall be strictly in accordance with the Documentation or otherwise be approved by Symantec in writing prior to distribution in any form. Brightmail’s use, (and Brightmail shall contractually require and enforce the same with the Authorized Sublicensee’s use) the of such trademarks and logos will be in accordance with Symantec’s trademark policies and usage guidelines in effect from time to time. Brightmail is obligated to comply with the following and to contractually require its Authorized Sublicensees to do the following, and shall name Symantec as a third party beneficiary of these contractual requirements and enforce the following provisions on behalf of Symantec: (i) Any co-branding of products, marketing materials or other communications that refer to the functionality or the existence of the Licensed Product shall state “Powered by Symantec” and be subject to the co-branding guidelines that Symantec provides to Brightmail, as modified, from time to time, in Symantec’s sole discretion, as well as Symantec’s general trademark guidelines, attached hereto as Exhibit D, both as modified, from time to time, in Symantec’s sole discretion; provided that any Authorized Sublicensee shall have up to thirty (30) business days after receipt by Brightmail of updated guidelines to update any marketing materials and to cease distributing marketing materials that are no longer in compliance with such new guidelines, (ii) the initial user interface in the version of the Brightmail’s software offering, provided as part of its BMI Service (or Service in reference to an Authorized Sublicensee), must contain the words “Powered by Symantec” and the wording “Powered by Symantec” will be present in the footer of all warning pages or messages concerning notice of virus detection in all versions of Brightmail’s software offering as part of the BMI Service (or Service in reference to an Authorized Sublicensee), and (iii) Authorized Sublicensee shall not make any false representations as to the relationship of Symantec to the Authorized Sublicensee, concerning the Licensed Product, or concerning the source of the Services offered by the Authorized Sublicensee. Further, if any Authorized Sublicensee has any concerns about compliance, Brightmail should inform them that they may contact Symantec’s Legal Department directly to obtain review and approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Brightmail and its Authorized Sublicensees may do general marketing using common industry descriptive words that indicate the existence of virus detection, but which are general references to the Service and/or BMI Service and do not mention or otherwise reference the components, features or technical aspects of the Licensed Products, such as, but not limited to, “Internet services with virus detection”, “e-mail virus scanning”, “e-mail virus filter services” and/or “e-mail protection and such others as fall within the foregoing requirements, without including the Symantec logos and trademarks, as required above. Brightmail agrees and acknowledges that no description of any BMI Service provided or offered by Brightmail or Service by its Authorized Sublicensees shall in any sense mislead the consumer into believing that the Licensed Product portion of such BMI Service and/or Service is created or owned by any party other than Symantec and that Symantec shall make the final determination of such on any such issues, in its sole discretion. Brightmail shall contractually require its Authorized Sublicensees to comply with all of the foregoing obligations and name Symantec as a third party beneficiary of the contracts it enters into with Authorized Sublicensee. Symantec shall solely control all litigation matters and related decisions, and be responsible for such costs, in regards to the subject matter of this provision.

 

(ii) No Rights in Trademarks or Copyrights. Brightmail has paid no consideration for the use of Symantec’s trademarks, logos, copyrights, trade names or designations, and nothing contained in this

 

12


Agreement will give Brightmail any interest in any of the foregoing. Brightmail acknowledges that Symantec owns and retains all copyrights and other proprietary rights in all Licensed Products and documentation including patent, copyright, trade secret, trademark and other proprietary rights, in and to the Licensed Products and the Documentation and any corrections, bug fixes, enhancements, updates or other modifications, including custom modifications, to the Licensed Products, whether made by Symantec or any third party, and Brightmail shall have no right, title or interest in such proprietary rights. Brightmail agrees that it will not at any time during or after this Agreement assert or claim any interest in or do anything that may adversely affect the validity or enforceability of any trademark, trade name, copyright or logo belonging to or licensed to Symantec (including, without limitation, any act, or assistance to any act, which may infringe or lead to the infringement of any copyright in the Licensed Products). Brightmail agrees not to attach any additional trademarks, logos or trade designations to Licensed Product or BMI Products which violate any terms of this Agreement. Brightmail further agrees not to affix any Symantec trademark, logo or trade name to any non-Symantec product and/or non-Symantec service, except as provided for in this Agreement. Brightmail shall contractually require the Authorized Sublicensees to comply with the foregoing requirements, and enforce the same on Symantec’s behalf.

 

(ii) Obligation to Protect. Brightmail agrees to use reasonable efforts to protect Symantec’s proprietary rights and to cooperate without charge in Symantec’s efforts to protect its proprietary rights. Brightmail agrees to notify Symantec of any known or suspected breach of Symantec’s proprietary rights that comes to Brightmail’s attention.

 

(iii) Transfers. Except as specifically provided for under the terms of this Agreement, under no circumstances shall Brightmail sell, license, publish, distribute, or otherwise transfer to a third party the Licensed Product or the Documentation or any copy thereof, in whole or in part, without Symantec’s prior written consent.

 

e. Obligation to Use Most Current Version of Licensed Product. Brightmail acknowledges that Symantec may, from time to time, release updated versions of the Licensed Product. Brightmail covenants and agrees, within thirty (30) days after written notification by Symantec of the release of any such updated version for the operating platform(s) utilized by Brightmail, to upgrade to, and use exclusively, the updated version of the Licensed Product in its BMI Product to provide the BMI Service and provide the updated BMI Product to the Resellers. Brightmail will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify and request its Authorized Sublicensees to use the latest version of the Licensed Product as it is incorporated into the BMI Product. Brightmail acknowledges that it understands that support services are only available to customers of Symantec who have purchased support and are on a particular version of the Licensed Product for a time period of one (1) full year after the date of the next “Major Release” which is defined as any new version of the Licensed Product that contains features or capabilities that are different from the current version (typically denoted with a new version number in front of the decimal point such as 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, or a year number such as 2001, 2002, 2003 but it could be designated otherwise) as opposed to an in-line update or modification or patch that is designed only to improve the current version of the Licensed Product, and that Symantec licenses to its licensees and customers generally for a fee as opposed to the free update, modification or patch. Brightmail agrees that the support services will end one (1) year after the next Major Release of the Licensed Product and thereafter in order to obtain support services, Brightmail must upgrade to the most current version of the Licensed Product, (i.e. the Major Release) as outlined above.

 

f. Obligation to Update. If the Licensed Product requires updates such as new virus definitions, new content filtering lists or new rules of any type, Brightmail and Authorized Sublicensee shall update its copies of the Licensed Product used to provide the BMI Service and/or Service, respectively, at least once daily.

IF SYMANTEC HAS PROVIDED IN ADVANCE ANY BETA OR OTHER TEST VERSIONS OF THE LICENSED PRODUCT TO BRIGHTMAIL AND HAS NOT AUTHORIZED BRIGHTMAIL TO RELEASE SUCH AS FINAL LICENSED PRODUCT, THEN THIS WARRANTY IS VOID IF BRIGHTMAIL RELEASES ANY BMI PRODUCT CONTAINING SUCH LICENSED PRODUCT THAT SYMANTEC HAS NOT GENERALLY AND PUBLICLY RELEASED TO ITS OTHER CUSTOMERS. SYMANTEC MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ALL ERRORS OR FAILURES WILL BE CORRECTED.

 

b. Limited Liability. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, THE LICENSED PRODUCT AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. ALL WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE DISCLAIMED AND EXCLUDED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND INFRINGEMENT. THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO THE QUALITY AND PERFORMANCE OF LICENSED PRODUCT IS WITH BRIGHTMAIL.

 

c. No Warranty. Brightmail will make no warranty, guarantee or representation, whether written or oral, on Symantec’s behalf.

 

d. Breach of Warranty. If Symantec is not able to cure any breach of the warranty section set forth in subsection (a) above within the allowed cure period set forth in the termination provisions of this Agreement, then Brightmail may terminate this Agreement.

 

3. Limitation of Liability.

 

NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR THE LOSS OF ANTICIPATED PROFITS ARISING FROM ANY PERFORMANCE UNDER, OR BREACH OF, THIS AGREEMENT EVEN IF NOTICE IS GIVEN OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN ADDITION, THE LIABILITY OF SYMANTEC FOR ANY DAMAGES RELATING TO ANY LICENSED PRODUCT SHALL BE LIMITED AS SET FORTH HEREIN. SYMANTEC’S LIABILITY HEREUNDER OTHER THAN RELATING TO AMOUNTS DUE UNDER THE INDEMNITY PROVISIONS SET FORTH IN SECTION 5A, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE TOTAL PAYMENTS RECEIVED FROM BRIGHTMAIL PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.

4. Compliance with Law.

 

Brightmail covenants and agrees to comply with all applicable international, national, state, regional and local laws and regulations in its performance hereunder and in any of its dealings with its Resellers, Authorized Sublicensees and Authorized Users with respect to the BMI Service. Symantec covenants and agrees to comply with all applicable international, national, state, regional and local laws and regulations in its performance hereunder and in any of its dealings with Brightmail.

 

5. Indemnification.

 

(A) Indemnification by Symantec. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Symantec hereby indemnifies, defends, and holds Brightmail and its officers, employees, board members, and contractors harmless from and against any and all third party claims, actions, or demands alleging that the Licensed Product and/or any update provided by Symantec infringes any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party. Subject to Symantec receiving prompt written notice from Brightmail of any actual or threatened claim, and further subject to Brightmail providing Symantec with complete control of the settlement and defense thereof, Symantec shall pay resulting costs, damage awards, legal fees finally awarded, and any settlement amounts in such actions which are attributable to such claims. Symantec shall have no liability to Brightmail for any claim to the extent based upon modification of the Licensed Product by Brightmail or combination of the Licensed Product with the Brightmail’s own software solution or any other software or hardware not provided by Symantec, approved by Symantec for combination with the Licensed Product, or otherwise identified in the Symantec Documentation as intended for combination with the Licensed Product (if the claim would not survive but for the modification or combination). In addition, should the Licensed Product become, or is likely to become, in Symantec’s reasonable opinion, exercising sound commercial judgment, the subject of a claim of intellectual property infringement then Brightmail shall permit Symantec to replace or modify the Licensed Product so as to avoid infringement, or to procure the right for Brightmail to continue use of such items. If neither of such alternatives is reasonably possible, the infringing items shall be returned to Symantec and Symantec shall refund to Brightmail all amounts paid by Brightmail in excess of actual usage.

 

(B) Indemnification by Brightmail. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Brightmail hereby indemnifies, defends, and holds Symantec and its officers, employees, board members, and contractors harmless from and against any and all third party claims, actions, or demands arising out of this Agreement that: (i) allege that the BMI Service infringes any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party, however excluding any and all claims based on the Licensed Product (but including claims to the extent based upon Brightmail’s modification or unapproved combination of the Licensed Product with third party products, solely to the extent such claim would not survive but for the modification or combination); or (ii) to the extent that they are due to any unauthorized warranty made by Brightmail or any Authorized Sublicensee regarding the Licensed Product. Subject to Brightmail receiving prompt written notice from Symantec of any actual or threatened claim, and further subject to Symantec providing Brightmail with complete control of the settlement and defense thereof, Brightmail shall pay resulting costs, damage awards, legal fees finally awarded, and any settlement amounts in such actions which are attributable to such claims.

 

6. Termination.

 

a. For Cause Termination. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time in the event that the other Party fails to perform any obligation, warranty, duty or responsibility or is in default with respect to any term or condition under this Agreement and such failure or default continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days (fifteen (15)) days in case of failure to make Payment) after notice of failure or default from the

 

15


other Party (a “For Cause Termination”) which termination shall be effective immediately after the time period to cure the default as set forth in this section has expired if the nonbreaching party has affirmatively elected to terminate the Agreement. If the resolution of the breach requires more than thirty (30) days, the breaching Party may request the other Party for additional time to remedy the breach, and both Parties agree to discuss such an extension in good faith.

 

b. Automatic Termination. This Agreement terminates automatically, with no further act or action of either Party, if a receiver is appointed for either Party or over either Party’s property, either Party makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, any proceedings are commenced by, for or against either Party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor’s relief law, or either Party is liquidated or dissolved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Brightmail is reorganizing its entity under the bankruptcy laws and is not in breach of this Agreement, the Agreement shall not automatically terminate. If Brightmail has any change in the management or control of, or any transfer of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Brightmail’s voting control or a transfer of substantially all its assets to a competitor of Symantec, which Symantec determines in it sole discretion is a competitor, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date of a notice by Symantec of such decision as provided in writing by Symantec to Brightmail. The foregoing shall be referred to hereafter as “Automatic Termination”.

 

c. Disruption to Symantec’s Small Business Revenue. Symantec may terminate the Agreement, but not sooner than six (6) months from the Effective Date, if Symantec determines in its sole discretion, that Brightmail has entered into any agreement that disrupts Symantec’s anti virus small business revenue.

 

d. Effect of Termination.

 

(i) Effect on Payments and Licenses. Upon any termination of any kind and any expiration of the Term, no refunds of Payments due and/or Minimum Commitment Payments will be made to Brightmail. Further, the license granted under this Agreement to use the Licensed Product and the Documentation is immediately revoked other than subject to any applicable Run Off Periods.

 

(ii) Obligations of Brightmail as to Licensed Products. Brightmail, within ten (10) days, shall, at Symantec’s option, either destroy all licensed copies of the Licensed Product and Documentation, and all backups, or return them to Symantec, and certify in writing by an authorized officer of Brightmail that all copies have been destroyed and/or returned. In each instance where Brightmail has distributed the Licensed Product and/or Documentation to Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers, then Brightmail shall contractually require and enforce the requirement that the Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers destroy the Licensed Product and Documentation, and all backups, or return them to Brightmail, and certify in writing by an authorized officer of Brightmail that all copies have been destroyed and/or returned and/or that Brightmail has by way of its technology effectively prevented all further use of the Licensed Product. This obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

 

(iii) Outstanding Invoices. The due dates of all outstanding invoices to Brightmail for Licensed Product(s) automatically will be accelerated if the termination is based on a For Cause Termination caused by Brightmail or an Automatic Termination triggered by conduct of Brightmail, so they become due and payable by immediate wire transfer on the effective date of termination or expiration, even if longer terms had been provided previously, except in the case that Symantec terminates for any disruption to its small business revenue pursuant to the terms set forth under Section X.6.c.

 

(iv) Cease Use of Marks and Run Off Period. Brightmail will forthwith cease, and cause each of its Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers to also cease, all use of all Symantec trademarks, and will not thereafter use any mark which is confusingly similar to any trademark associated with any Licensed

 

16


Product(s) with the BMI Products or BMI Service or any other products or services and contractually require the Authorized Sublicensees to do the same and also with regard to its Service and enforce the same on Symantec’s behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Term of this Agreement expires and is not renewed, or there is any termination other than (i) an Automatic Termination for bankruptcy only or (ii) a For Cause Termination caused by Brightmail, then and only then, pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Section, Brightmail may continue for up to three (3) months after termination of this Agreement to sublicense the Licensed Product under existing agreements with Authorized Sublicensees and conditioned on the continuation of Brightmail making any Payments due to Symantec for such period of additional time, per the terms of this Agreement (the “Run Off Period”). The foregoing Run Off Period applies only if Symantec is able to deliver a functional Licensed Product and related virus definitions which shall mean for purposes of this Agreement, that the Licensed Product and the delivery of virus definitions meet the special warranty provisions set forth in this Agreement. So provided that a functional Licensed Product and virus definitions are available and Payments are current, and that no other breaches of the Agreement exist, Symantec agrees that the Run Off Period is automatically extended for another three (3) months unless Brightmail indicates it no longer needs the Run Off Period. Thereafter, given the same conditions are met again, in that a functional Licensed Product and virus definitions are available, Payments are current, and no other breach of the Agreement exists, then Symantec agrees that the Run Off Period automatically renews for yet another three (3) months, providing no more than a total of nine (9) months of Run Off Period unless Brightmail indicates it no longer needs the Run Off Period. Brightmail agrees that support is only available in any Run Off Period to Brightmail if Symantec is then supporting the Licensed Product and Brightmail is current on its support payments, if any. Brightmail agrees that the Payment obligations continue to apply to all Run Off Periods. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Licensed Product will be promptly destroyed by Brightmail, if so approved in writing by Symantec and Brightmail will then will certify to Symantec in writing the destruction of such Licensed Product in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in writing pursuant to which Symantec so approved such destruction. If Symantec does not approve destruction, Brightmail must return the Licensed Product at its own expense.

 

e. Limitation of Liability for Termination. Symantec shall not be liable to Brightmail on account of termination or expiration of this Agreement for reimbursement or damages for loss of goodwill, prospective profits or anticipated orders, or on account of any expenditures, investments, leases or commitments made by Brightmail based upon or growing out of such termination or expiration. Brightmail acknowledges and agrees that; (i) Brightmail has no expectation and has received no assurances that its business relationship with Symantec will continue beyond the stated Term of this Agreement or its earlier termination in accordance with this clause other than for any applicable Run Off Periods, that any investment by Brightmail in the promotion of the BMI Service, BMI Products or the Licensed Products will be recovered or recouped, or that Brightmail shall obtain any anticipated amount of profits by virtue of this Agreement; and (ii) Brightmail shall not have or acquire by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise any vested, proprietary or other right in the promotion of the BMI Service or in any goodwill created by its efforts hereunder. The Parties acknowledge that this clause has been included as a material inducement for Symantec to enter into this Agreement and that Symantec would not have entered into this Agreement but for the limitations of liability as set forth herein.

 

9. Survival of Warranties and Covenants.

 

The warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, which by their nature should survive the termination of this Agreement, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.

 

17
