               (iii) Termination of License and Return of Materials. The license to use Materials and/or Trademarks is limited to the term of the applicable SOW and this Agreement. This license may be revoked by Microsoft with respect to a particular Material or Trademark (A) if Microsoft receives an allegation that such Trademark or Material infringes a third party’s intellectual property rights or (B) for a good faith business justification, including, but not limited to, any action designed to protect Microsoft’s legal interests, so long as, in each case, Microsoft provides Company with a reasonable notice of revocation.

          (a) Reporting. Company will comply with the reporting requirements identified in each applicable SOW, or otherwise reasonably requested by Microsoft (each instance a “Report”). Company shall use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that all Reports are accurate, complete, provided timely and in the format required under the applicable SOW. [*]

          (b) Record-Keeping Requirements. Company shall keep detailed and accurate books and records related to the E-Commerce Activities, Products, Materials and Inventory for a period equal to the greater of (i) the time period required by any applicable laws, including the laws of any local jurisdiction applicable to such records, or (ii) the time period set forth in an applicable SOW, or (iii) four (4) years. Records shall, where appropriate and unless otherwise indicated in a SOW, be kept in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. These records shall include records regarding any delivery, transfers-out, returns, damage or corruption to, or recovery, of any Inventory or Materials.

          (c) Financial Information. Microsoft shall have the right to examine Company’s publicly available financial information and statements to allow Microsoft to determine whether Company is capable of continuing to perform its obligations under this Agreement. If Company’s financial statements cease to be public or are not publicly available, at any time upon Microsoft’s request, Company shall provide to Microsoft a copy of its financial statements (including balance sheets and related statements of income and retained earnings, and statements of changes in financial condition) certified by an officer of Company. To the extent these financial statements are audited, the audit report of the certified public accountant performing the audit shall also be made available to Microsoft. Whether or not Company’s financial statements are publicly available, if Microsoft finds the information made available to Microsoft to be insufficient or incomplete in any material manner, then, at the request of Microsoft, Company shall submit to Microsoft additional financial information that it reasonably requests. Company financial information shall be considered Confidential Information as defined in the NDA and subject to Section 7 of this agreement.

          (d) Audit.

               (i) During the term of this Agreement and for a period of four (4) years thereafter, upon at least forty-eight (48) hours’ notice, Microsoft may audit Company’s books and records during normal business hours to verify accuracy and compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Such audit shall be limited to the books and records from the twenty-four (24) month-period immediately preceding the date of any such audit. Company will provide Microsoft or its agents with access to the relevant records and the right to make copies of those records for audit evidence. In conducting any audit, Microsoft will not unreasonably interfere with Company’s business operations, and shall cooperate with Company to ensure that Company is able to protect its own and its other customers’ proprietary information. Company shall promptly correct all discrepancies discovered during an audit. Microsoft may not exercise its audit rights more than once in any twelve (12) month period unless an audit reveals the Company’s material noncompliance with this Agreement. Audits and inspections shall be conducted by Microsoft representatives and/or inspection team, or any independent certified public accountant or consultant selected by Microsoft.

               (ii) Microsoft shall pay for each audit except that if an audit shows Company overcharged Microsoft by five percent (5%) or more of the amounts due for any audited period of time, Company shall, in addition to re-computing and making immediate refund payments to Microsoft of all overpayments, pay Microsoft for all reasonable costs and expenses actually paid by Microsoft to third parties in conducting such audit, including any amounts paid to any outside auditor. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this provision is intended to provide Microsoft with access to Company records relating to other clients of Company, or to Company activities not related to the E-Commerce Activities provided under this Agreement.

          (e) Facility Inspections. Microsoft may cause an inspection to be made, with at least three (3) business days’ prior notice, of any Facility (including its security systems, communications and computing networks) solely as necessary to verify Company’s compliance with this Agreement (including security requirements). Inspections shall be conducted during regular business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Company’s business operations and complies with all of Company’s then-current physical and information security policies. Company shall provide Microsoft, or its agents, access to relevant records and areas of the Facility. Company may designate a representative to accompany Microsoft’s inspectors and may reasonably restrict access to any section of the Facility containing confidential information of Company or its customers so long as that restriction does not unreasonably interfere with the audit. Microsoft’s rights of inspection will extend to any approved Subcontractor or Affiliate of Company. Company shall inform its Microsoft-approved Subcontractor or Affiliate of Microsoft’s right to inspect and will use reasonable efforts to secure such rights for Microsoft and assist Microsoft with any such inspection.

          (f) Sarbanes-Oxley Compliance; SAS-70 Report. Company shall comply with all applicable Microsoft required documentation related to or required under the United States Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 (“Sarbanes-Oxley”) and that shall not do or omit to do anything in connection with the E-Commerce Activities to prejudice compliance by Microsoft with its obligations pursuant to Sarbanes-Oxley. Microsoft agrees that Company’s annual provision of a SAS 70, Type II Audit will constitute full compliance with Company’s obligations under this Section. Any further documentation requested shall be provided at Microsoft’s sole cost and expense and shall be considered Confidential Information as defined in Section 7 of this Agreement and subject to all the protection and controls provided for in the NDA.

     7. Confidentiality, Privacy, Data Protection and Publicity.

          (a) Confidentiality. The respective confidentiality obligations of the parties regarding this Agreement are set out in the confidentiality and non-disclosure agreement dated October 12, 2001 (the “NDA”)

attached hereto as Exhibit B and incorporated by reference. In addition to any information defined as confidential in the NDA, the following information shall be deemed to be confidential for purposes of the NDA:

               (i) the existence and terms of this Agreement; and

               (ii) information provided by a party under this Agreement or obtained or created by a party in the course of performing this Agreement, including (A) information contained in any reports provided to Microsoft, (B) any electronic or written correspondence between the parties, (C) customer lists, Personal Information regardless of the source, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement regarding Personal Information, and (D) transactional, sales and activity information related to the E-Commerce Activities.

          (b) Limitations on Company’s Collection and Use of Personal Information.

               (i) Limitations on Collection and Use of Personal Information. Company shall not access or collect any Personal Information except to the extent strictly necessary to perform the E-Commerce Activities or to fulfill any legal requirements, and shall not use Personal Information accessed or collected while performing the E-Commerce Activities for any purpose other than those expressly permitted by this Agreement. If the E-Commerce Activities involve the collection of personal information directly from individuals, such as through a webpage, Company shall provide a clear and conspicuous notice regarding the uses of the personal information. The notice shall comply with all relevant guidelines contained at http://members.microsoft.com/vendorguide or otherwise provided by Microsoft.

               (ii) Limitations on Disclosure of Personal Information. [*] If Company is served with a court order compelling disclosure of any Personal Information or with notice of proceedings for such an order, Company shall oppose the order, shall notify Microsoft of the order or notice, and shall provide Microsoft the opportunity to intervene before Company files any response to the order or notice, all at Microsoft’s expense.

               (iii) Protection of Personal Information. Company shall take reasonable steps to protect Personal Information in Company’s possession from unauthorized use, access, disclosure, alteration or destruction. Security measures shall include access controls, encryption and other means, where appropriate. Company must immediately notify Microsoft of any known security breach that may result in the unauthorized use, access, disclosure, alteration or destruction of Personal Information. Company shall conduct an audit on at least an annual basis to evaluate the security of Personal Information in Company’s possession and to verify that the terms of this Agreement with respect to Personal Information are being followed. The results of the audit shall be made available to Microsoft on request.

               (iv) Return or Destruction of Personal Information. Upon request from Microsoft, Company shall provide Microsoft with Personal Information collected on Microsoft’s behalf and in Company’s possession. Within ten (10) days following termination or expiration of this Agreement, Company shall, at Microsoft’s sole discretion, either:

                    (A) provide Microsoft with all documents and materials (including all copies) containing Personal Information collected on Microsoft’s behalf and, together with all other materials and property of Microsoft, which are in its possession or under its control; or

                    (B) destroy all specified documents and materials (including all copies in all formats) and provide Microsoft with a certificate of destruction signed by an officer of Company. As an exception to the foregoing, unless Microsoft directs otherwise, Company may retain a copy of Personal Information solely to the extent necessary to comply with its record-keeping requirements under the preceding Section 6 (Reports, Audits & Inspections).

          (c) Publicity. Except as otherwise required by applicable laws and regulations, neither party shall issue press releases, publicity, or other disclosure in any form that relate to the relationship with the other party or the Agreement without the other party’s prior written approval. Except as permitted in the applicable SOW, neither party shall use the other party’s names or trademarks in any marketing materials or web sites. Each party is required to obtain written permission from the other party before using the party’s name or any of its Affiliates’ names in client presentations or in responses to requests for client lists (e.g., as part of a Request for Proposal or Request for Information).

     8. Security.

          (a) Company’s Obligation to Protect Materials, Inventory and Confidential Information. In addition to its compliance with any other terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, applicable policies and procedures, and any specific requirements contained in an applicable SOW, Company shall implement and maintain commercially reasonable security procedures and measures at its Facilities (including physical lock/key security, computer and communications network security and data security) designed to prevent disclosure of Confidential Information to any unauthorized persons or any damage to Materials, Inventory or Confidential Information. Company shall notify Microsoft immediately in the event of any breach or failure to comply with these or any other security or data protection requirements set forth in this Agreement or of any breach of its security affecting any E-Commerce Activities, Materials, Deliverables, Inventory or Microsoft Intellectual Property.

          (b) [*]

          (c) Subcontractor Audits. Company shall perform security reviews and audits of any Subcontractors who provide call center, fulfillment, and data center services. Company shall provide Microsoft, upon Microsoft’s written request, all documentation related to such reviews and audits together with all necessary corrective action reports.

          (d) Protecting Facilities Restricted Areas. Company shall ensure that all third parties accessing the restricted areas where Microsoft E-Commerce Activities are being performed are bound by confidentiality agreements that require those third parties to comply with the confidentiality requirements of this Agreement (including the NDA) and any such access shall be in accordance with Company policies and procedures in effect on the date of such access.

     9. Disaster Planning; Obligations in Event of Unavoidable Delay.

          (a) Disaster Planning. Company shall implement and maintain a measurable, documented disaster recovery plan to ensure continuity and quality of the E-Commerce Activities and Inventory (“Disaster Plan”). The plan must include, at a minimum, implementation procedures, weather-related, labor-related, system-related and telecommunications contingencies and a mitigation plan in the event of these or other foreseeable events that are outside Company’s reasonable control. [*]

          (b) Obligations in the Event of Unavoidable Delay.

               (i) [*] Where the performance of E-Commerce Activities is delayed by reason of an act of Force Majeure, Company and Microsoft shall enter into bona fide discussions with a view to alleviating the effects of such act of Force Majeure or of agreeing upon such alternative arrangements as may be fair and reasonable.

               (ii) Company shall not be liable for any failure to comply with any obligations hereunder where such failure is caused by any reason beyond its reasonable control including, but not limited to, act of God, riot, act of terrorism, accident, fire, and war, (each a “Force Majeure”) AND Company has otherwise complied with its obligations under this Agreement (including all parts of Section 9 and of its Disaster Plan). Where a strike, lockout, trade dispute or labor disturbance does not directly involve Company, its Affiliates and/or its Sub-contractors, Company shall use its best efforts to continue to provide and perform the E-Commerce Activities without interruption or delay in performance, and Company shall not be liable for any interruption or delay in performance arising from such strike or other labor difficulties where such interruption or delay in performance arises notwithstanding its utmost efforts in this regard. Where difficulty in obtaining labor, materials or transport, or the occurrence of any strike, lock out, trade dispute or other labor disturbance does directly involve the Company, the occurrence of such act shall not be considered to be outside the Company’s reasonable control and shall not excuse any delay in Company’s performance, notwithstanding that such strikes or other labor difficulties are not capable of being terminated on terms acceptable to the party affected. Where the performance of any E-Commerce Activities shall be delayed by reason of an act of Force Majeure for more than sixty (60) days either party may, upon written notice to the other, terminate the affected SOW or SOWs (or, in the event all open SOWs are affected, this Agreement) without further obligation except to make payment for E-Commerce Activities already rendered and any obligation with respect to any surviving provision as set forth in Section 15(e), in which event the provisions of Section 15 shall apply. Without prejudice to the foregoing, Microsoft may suspend performance to the Company under this Agreement and may itself perform or appoint a third party to perform the E-Commerce Activities during any period during which Company is affected by an act of Force Majeure without liability to make or pay any compensation to Company. If within sixty (60) days, Company is able to return to reasonably normal business operations, regardless of the existence of a Force Majeure, Microsoft and Company will resume performance under this contract. Nothing contained herein shall be construed as granting Microsoft any rights in or to Company Intellectual Property or Company Confidential Information, nor shall anything contained herein prevent Microsoft from withholding payment or applying performance credits for any non-performance regardless of the cause.

     10. Insurance Requirements. Company warrants that it shall maintain sufficient insurance coverage to enable it to meet its obligations created by this Agreement and by law. Without limiting the foregoing, Company warrants that its insurance shall, at a minimum, include the following lines of coverage (with minimum limits of $2,000,000 per occurrence) to the extent the Agreement creates exposures generally covered by these insurance policies: Commercial General Liability (Occurrence Form) including product liability, Workers’ Compensation (statutory limits), Crime, Professional Liability and Errors & Omissions Liability, Automobile and Employer’s Liability. Company shall name Microsoft, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers and employees as additional insureds in the Commercial General Liability policy, to the extent of contractual liability assumed by Company under this Agreement.

     11. Taxes. This Section governs the treatment of all taxes arising in connection with this Agreement notwithstanding any other section of this Agreement.

          (a) Tax Obligations Generally. Microsoft is not liable for any taxes that Company is legally obligated to (collect or) pay and which are incurred or arise in connection with the manufacture, storage or sale of Inventory or the performance of E-Commerce Activities by Company or its Subcontractors. Microsoft shall pay Company any sales, use or value added taxes owed by Microsoft solely as a result of entering into this Agreement or a subsequent SOW and which are required to be collected from Microsoft by Company under applicable law. Microsoft may provide Company with a valid exemption certificate, and Company shall not collect taxes covered by the certificate. If taxes are required to be withheld on any amount to be paid by Microsoft to Company, Microsoft shall deduct them from the amount owed and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority. Microsoft shall secure and deliver to Company an official receipt for any taxes withheld. Microsoft shall use reasonable efforts to minimize such taxes to the extent permissible under applicable law.

          (b) Tax Obligations Relating to Company’s E-Commerce Activities. If Company is required to make payments to Microsoft under any SOW (e.g., Inventory royalty payment), then Company shall pay Microsoft any sales, use or value added taxes owed by Company solely as a result of entering into this Agreement or a subsequent SOW and which are required to be collected from Company by Microsoft under applicable law. If taxes are required to be withheld on any amount to be paid by Company to Microsoft, Company shall deduct them from the amount owed and pay them to the appropriate taxing authority. Company shall secure and deliver to Microsoft an official receipt for any taxes withheld. Company shall use reasonable efforts to minimize such taxes to the extent permissible under applicable law. Company shall remit to the appropriate taxing authority any duties, taxes, imposts, fees of charges on any Inventory delivery to a Customer where no billing or collection services are involved (“Transfer Taxes”). Company shall invoice Microsoft for such Transfer Taxes in accordance with Section 3 of this Agreement.

     12. Disclaimer of Implied Warranties. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMISSABLE BY LAW, THE PARTIES HEREBY DISCLAIM ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, NON-INFRINGEMENT AND/OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, WITH RESPECT TO THE E-COMMERCE ACTIVITIES, PRODUCTS, INVENTORY OR MATERIALS, WHETHER OR NOT ARISING FROM TRADE USAGE OR A COURSE OF DEALING. THIS DISCLAIMER IS NOT INTENDED TO LIMIT ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES CONTAINED IN THIS AGREEMENT.

     13. Remedies. Except as provided below, none of the remedies listed in this Section shall be deemed the exclusive remedies. In addition, the parties agree to the following specific remedies:

          (a) Indemnification.

               (i) Mutual Indemnity. Each party shall defend the other party and its directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates (each an “Indemnified Party”) against any third party or governmental claim, lawsuit, investigation, regulatory determination, action, demand or administrative, judicial or other proceeding (collectively, “Third Party Claims”), and indemnify and hold harmless each Indemnified Party for and from all damages, taxes, costs, losses and liabilities arising out of Third Party Claims, to the extent those Third Party Claims arise from:

                    (A) any material breach of this Agreement by the other party or its Affiliates or Subcontractors;

                    (B) the negligent or willful acts of the other party or its Affiliates or Subcontractors resulting in any bodily injury or death to any person or loss, disappearance, or damage to tangible or intangible property; or

                    (C) acts or omissions of the Indemnified Party undertaken or omitted at the direction or on the instructions of the indemnifying party.

               (ii) Microsoft’s Limited Indemnity for Infringement. Microsoft shall defend Company and its directors, officers, employees, agents, subsidiaries and affiliates in a lawsuit or other judicial action, and pay the amount of any adverse final judgment (or settlement to which Microsoft consents), including any reasonable legal fees, arising from any lawsuit or other judicial action brought against Company by any third party that claims or alleges that any Product or Materials infringe any patents, trademarks, trade secrets or copyrights in any territory in which Company is authorized to perform E-Commerce Activities with respect to the Product or Materials (“IP Claim”). Microsoft’s obligations shall not apply to the extent the IP Claim arises out of Company’s (1) modification of Materials or Inventory other than as directed by Microsoft, (2) combination of Materials or Inventory with any non-Microsoft product, program or data other than as directed by Microsoft, (3) acquisition of a trade secret through improper means, under circumstances giving rise to a duty to maintain its secrecy or limit its use, or from a party other than Microsoft or its Affiliates that owed to the party asserting the claim a duty to maintain the secrecy or limit the use of the trade secret, or (4) distribution of Inventory or Materials by Company after Microsoft directs it to stop, or (5) failure to make changes or implement updates with respect to any Materials after they have been made available to Company.

               (iii) Notice of Claims. The Indemnified Party shall provide the indemnifying party with reasonably prompt notice of each Third Party Claim or IP Claim to permit the indemnifying party to answer and defend the Third Party Claim or IP Claim. Upon receipt of such notice, the Indemnifying party shall respond in writing to the tender of defense within twenty (20) days of receipt of such notice. The Indemnified Party shall provide the indemnifying party with reasonable information and assistance, at the indemnifying party’s expense, to help defend any Third Party Claim or IP Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to employ separate counsel and participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim, at its own expense. With respect to IP Claims, Microsoft shall have the exclusive right to undertake the defense against the IP Claim and to select the counsel to handle the IP Claim. A failure by the Indemnifying Party to respond in writing to the tender of defense within the time specified in this subsection will be deemed a waiver of any objection to its obligation to defend the Indemnified Party, but not a waiver of the indemnifying party’s rights to object to any subsequent obligation to indemnify or to hold harmless the Indemnified Party. In the event the Indemnifying Party fails to respond to a tender of defense, the Indemnified Party shall thereafter have the right to control the defense of such Third Party Claim or IP Claim, including the right to select which law firm defends the claim. In the event the Indemnifying Party rejects the tender of defense or fails to undertake and continue such defense or fails (in the Indemnified Party’s reasonable opinion) to adequately pursue or conduct such defense, the Indemnifying Party will be liable for 100% of any legal fees and expenses incurred by the Indemnified Party to compel the Indemnifying party to honor its obligations under this Section, regardless of the comparative negligence or fault of the Indemnified party, and the Indemnifying Party expressly waives any right it may have under statutory or common law that might operate to make the recovery of fees under this subsection (iii) a mutual right. For the avoidance of doubt, if each party tenders the defense of the same Third Party Claim or an IP Claim to the other, and unless there can be no good faith dispute that the underlying conduct giving rise to the Loss was solely within the control of Company, Microsoft shall defend both parties against the Third Party Claim or IP Claim, subject to any rights to recoup its defense expenses under this subsection (iii).

               (iv) Settling Claims. Neither party may settle any Third Party Claim or IP Claim on the other party’s behalf, or publicize the settlement, without the other party’s prior written permission, unless the settlement is for a monetary amount that is fully covered by that party’s indemnity and the settlement does not require an admission of fault or impose any other obligation other than the payment of money. In any event, Company shall not settle any claim that any Microsoft Intellectual Property infringes any third party’s intellectual property rights without Microsoft’s consent.

          (b) Company’s Duties In Connection with Infringing Deliverables, E-Commerce Activities and Company IP. Company shall indemnify Microsoft from any claim that the use of the E-Commerce Activities, Deliverables and any Company IP or third party Intellectual Property licenses to Microsoft under this Agreement by Microsoft or any of its Customers as contemplated by this Agreement, infringe or violate any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right of any third party. Company shall notify Microsoft if a court of competent jurisdiction holds that any Deliverable, or any Company IP or other Intellectual Property licensed to Microsoft by Company under this Agreement, infringes a third party proprietary right. Moreover, if the use of any Deliverable or any Company IP or other Intellectual Property licensed to Microsoft by Company is enjoined or threatened to be enjoined, then Company shall, at its expense and at its option, either:

               (i) procure the right for Microsoft to continued use the Deliverables, Company IP or other Intellectual Property in accordance with this Agreement; or

               (ii) replace or modify the Deliverables, Company IP or other Intellectual Property so that it is non-infringing and meets the requirements of this Agreement to Microsoft’s reasonable satisfaction.

          If either of the actions described in the immediately preceding subsections (i) or (ii) is not fulfilled within thirty (30) days after the injunction or threat of injunction, Microsoft shall have the right to terminate the Agreement and/or any affected SOW. Upon Microsoft’s written demand, Company shall refund all amounts paid by Microsoft for infringing Deliverables or E-Commerce Activities.

          (c) Specific Remedy for Misuse or Loss of Microsoft Property. Upon Company’s misuse or loss of any Inventory or Materials that was not sold to an End-User or otherwise transferred in a manner prescribed or permitted by this Agreement or by Microsoft, Company shall reimburse and pay Microsoft as follows:

               (i) for digital or physical Inventory where activation is required, upon reasonable proof of activation, Company shall pay Microsoft the full amount that Microsoft would have been entitled to receive from Company had the Inventory been sold in the normal course of business (the “Estimated Retail Value”), and where there is no reasonable proof of activation, Company shall pay Microsoft the replacement value of the Inventory components and related processing costs for such Inventory (the “Estimated Cost of Replacement”); or

               (ii) for digital or physical Inventory where activation is not required for the use by a End-User, Company shall pay Microsoft the Estimated Retail Value of the Inventory

               (iii) if Company unlawfully, improperly, or without prior authorization from Microsoft removes, retains, possesses, misappropriates, loses, damages or fails to return Materials or any other Microsoft property or Intellectual Property, other than Inventory, Company shall fully compensate Microsoft at Microsoft’s estimated retail price (or market or replacement value, if applicable) for that property.

          (d) Certain Remedies in Case of Non-Conforming E-Commerce Activities or Deliverables. If Microsoft rejects any E-Commerce Activities or Deliverables or they are found by Microsoft to be non-conforming or defective, then at Microsoft’s request and in accordance with the requirements set forth in the applicable SOW, Company shall correct the E-Commerce Activities with respect to those non-conforming items.

          (e) Injunctive Relief. Either party may seek injunctive relief and other equitable remedies in the event of a breach of this Agreement. The availability of injunctive relief will be a cumulative and not an exclusive remedy available to the parties.

     14. Exclusion of Consequential Damages.

          (a) EXCLUSIONS. NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL OR SPECIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING DAMAGES FOR LOST PROFITS OR LOST OPPORTUNITIES; COSTS OF COVER OR ANY PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES) ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER THE LIABILITY IS BASED ON BREACH OF CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, BREACH OF WARRANTIES OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF IT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THEIR POSSIBLE EXISTENCE.

          (b) EXCEPTIONS TO EXCLUSIONS. THE EXCLUSIONS DESCRIBED IN SUBSECTION (a) DO NOT APPLY TO:

               (i) A PARTY’S DUTY TO INDEMNIFY THE OTHER PARTY;

               (ii) FRAUD;

               (iii) A BREACH OF A PARTY’S CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS (INCLUDING THE BREACH OF OBLIGATIONS RELATED TO PERSONAL INFORMATION AND DATA) UNDER THIS AGREEMENT; OR

               (iv) A PARTY’S MISUSE OR INFRINGEMENT OF THE OTHER PARTY’S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY.

     15. Termination.

          (a) Termination For Convenience by Microsoft. Microsoft may terminate this Agreement, or any particular SOW, effective on one hundred and eighty (180) days’ written notice, unless the SOW provides otherwise, at any time with or without cause.

          (b) Termination For Cause.

               (i) Microsoft may terminate this Agreement, or any particular SOW, in the event of the Company’s material breach or failure to substantially perform its obligations under this Agreement (including failure to submit Reports), but only where written notice of the breach or failure to perform is provided by Microsoft to Company, and the breach or failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days of the Company’s receipt of such notice. Company may terminate or suspend performance under this Agreement, or any particular SOW, in the event of Microsoft’s material breach or failure to substantially perform its obligations under this Agreement, but only where written notice of the breach or failure to perform is provided by Company to Microsoft, and the breach or failure to perform is not cured within thirty (30) calendar days of Microsoft’s receipt of such notice.

               (ii) Notwithstanding the foregoing:

                    (A) Either party may terminate this Agreement, or any particular SOW, and Company may terminate or suspend its performance under this Agreement or any particular SOW, in the event of material breach of any provision of this Agreement relating to limitations on the use and/or protection of the Intellectual Property, Confidential Information, or Personal Information of such party, unless such breach is cured within five (5) business days of receipt of notice of the same by a party; and

                    (B) Either party may terminate this Agreement, or any particular SOW, and Company may terminate or suspend its performance under this Agreement or any particular SOW, immediately upon written notice to the other party in the event of (i) the material violation of the privacy policy of either party; (ii) the commission of a fraudulent or criminal act by either party having a material adverse effect on the other party; (iii) if the other party becomes Insolvent; (iv) if the other party executes any assignment for the benefit of creditors or becomes the subject of any proceeding under any bankruptcy, insolvency, liquidation, moratorium or other debtor relief laws, whether voluntary or involuntary, which is not dismissed or terminated within sixty (60) days after the commencement of such proceeding; (v) if the other party sells or transfers all or a substantial part of its assets to a third party (including by merger with another entity), or there is otherwise a change in the control of the other party (for purposes of this subsection, one entity “controls” another if the entity directly, or indirectly through an Affiliate, holds the majority of the voting rights in that entity, or has the right to appoint or remove a majority of its board of directors, or controls alone or under an agreement with others the majority of the voting rights in it); or (vi) if the other party assigns this Agreement in violation of Section18; and

                    (C) In the case of an assertion against Microsoft of claims relating to products liability, Company’s may suspend or remove the Product from Company’s performance under this Agreement or any particular SOW, whereupon Company shall immediately provide written notice to Microsoft.

                    (D) In the case of a third-party assertion against Company of IP Claim relating to Microsoft’s Products, Company may, upon providing Microsoft with a reasonable written notice remove the affected Product from Company’s performance under this Agreement if Company presents to Microsoft, in writing, sufficient proof of the Company’s likelihood of suffering irreparable harm if removal of the Product does not take place. If the litigating parties resolve the IP Claim, Company shall immediately resume performance of E-Commerce Activities with respect to the affected Product.

                    (E) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary set forth herein, the right to terminate shall apply only to the particular SOW or SOWs affected by the breach or condition giving rise to the right of termination, unless all SOWs are so affected, in which event the terminating party may elect to terminate this Agreement and all SOWs.

          (c) Effect of Termination or Expiration. Within ten (10) days after the date of termination or expiration of the Agreement (or any SOW where applicable), except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, Company shall deliver to Microsoft or to any other location designated by Microsoft all related Inventory or Deliverables and all data and materials related thereto, in a format designated by Microsoft. Each party shall return the other party’s Confidential Information to that party, except to the extent Microsoft permits Company to retain any Confidential Information in connection with its record-keeping obligations under this Agreement or, in the case of the termination of a particular SOW, where that Confidential Information relates to other SOWs not terminated. Each party agrees that its obligations under this subsection and subsection (i) below are independent of any disputes or

claims it may have against the other party, and that it shall not use its control over Inventory, Deliverables, Confidential Information, data or other materials related to the E-Commerce Activities to achieve any advantage with respect to any dispute or claim.

               (i) Effect of Termination for Convenience. If Microsoft terminates this Agreement or a particular SOW for convenience under Section 15(a) above, Microsoft will have no further obligation to Company, except for the payment of undisputed Fees and Pass-Through-Costs earned or approved prior to the termination date (and, in the case of the termination of a particular SOW, any obligations applicable to any SOWs not yet terminated) and any obligations arising from surviving sections as provided for in Section 15(e).

          (d) [*]

     16. Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be construed under and enforced in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, U.S.A. without regard to any rules governing conflicts of laws. Parties agree to exclusive jurisdiction and venue of courts in the state and federal courts sitting in New York County, New York.

     17. Relationship. This Agreement creates an independent contractor relationship between the parties. This Agreement does not constitute an offer by Microsoft and shall not be effective until signed by both parties. Except as required under this Agreement or any SOW, Company shall not enter into any agreement, contract, or arrangement with any government or government representative or with any person, firm, corporation, partnership or other enterprise imposing or purporting to impose legal obligations or liability on Microsoft.

The Agreement shall inure to the benefit of and bind all permitted successors, assigns, receivers and trustees of each party.

Except as otherwise provided in this Agreement, all amendments to (i) the Agreement Summary and Signature Page, (ii) the Contact and Notices Information Page, (iii) these General Terms and Conditions, (iv) any additional terms and conditions, and (v) any addendums created hereunder must be in a non-electronic writing (e.g., not email) expressly amending this Agreement and signed by authorized representatives of both parties.

          (a) Adding SOWs. The parties may add E-Commerce Activities to this Agreement by executing SOWs describing the applicable E-Commerce Activities. Company is not authorized to perform the applicable E-Commerce Activities until the SOW is signed by both parties. Any Microsoft Affiliate may enter into SOWs with Company under this Agreement. Upon adding a SOW, the parties shall update and execute a new Agreement Summary and Signature Page to reflect the additional SOW(s) and any additional Terms and Conditions and/or additional policies to be added to the Agreement in connection with the additional SOW. However, the failure to execute an updated Agreement Summary and Signature Page, for whatever reason, shall not render any additional SOW invalid where it has otherwise been entered into in accordance with this Subsection.

          (b) Change to Scope of E-Commerce Activities. Microsoft may update the description of E-Commerce Activities to be provided under a SOW in its sole discretion, via written notice to Company (the “Update Notice”). Except as described below in this subsection, the updated E-Commerce Activities description shall be effective ten (10) business days after Company’s receipt of the Update Notice. If Company determines in its reasonable discretion that the updated E-Commerce Activities scope causes a material change in the delivery schedule, Fees or other costs applicable to the E-Commerce Activities, it shall notify Microsoft within ten (10) business days of receipt of the Update Notice. The parties will then follow the procedures described below.

               (i) Within ten (10) business days after receipt of the Update Notice, Company shall provide Microsoft with a proposal explaining in detail how the request will change the E-Commerce Activities delivery schedule, Fees or costs for the applicable E-Commerce Activities.

               (ii) Microsoft may accept or reject the proposal, in its sole discretion. If Microsoft accepts the proposal, the revised E-Commerce Activities scope and any changes to the schedule, Fees or Pass-through Costs shall be described in a written amendment to the applicable SOW signed by both parties.

               (iii) If Microsoft rejects the proposal, Microsoft will then be free to have the E-Commerce Activities performed by a third party.

     22. Entire Agreement; Order of Precedence. This Agreement (including all terms and conditions, policies and procedures, Exhibits and SOWs referenced on the Agreement Summary and Signature Page, attached to this Agreement, or signed by the parties and expressly made a part of this Agreement) supersedes all prior and contemporaneous communications, whether written or oral, regarding the matters agreed to herein. This Agreement does not replace any separate written license agreement between Microsoft and the Company. Except as otherwise provided, in the event of an irreconcilable conflict between any addendum created under this Agreement and this Agreement, such addendum controls with respect to any SOW expressly referencing the Addendum. Except as otherwise expressly provided, in the event of an irreconcilable conflict between the provisions of different parts of this Agreement, the parts shall control in the following order: (a) these General Terms and Conditions; (b) any additional Terms and Conditions listed on the Agreement Summary and Signature Page; (c) any policies and documents referenced in this Agreement; (d) any exhibits to this Agreement (except for the Microsoft Release Services Manager Site License Agreement which shall control only with respect to Company’s access to the Release Services Manager tool); and (e) any Statements of Work. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and any SOW created hereunder, the provisions of the SOW with respect to such conflicting provisions shall control over this Agreement, provided, however, that such conflicting provisions expressly reference the specific Section in the Agreement that the parties intend to amend or supersede AND the SOW is first approved in writing by Microsoft Legal & Corporate Affairs (“LCA”), such approval to be manifested by the affixation of LCA’s stamp approving the version of the SOW actually signed by Microsoft. In the event such LCA approval is not secured and the conflicting provision does not reference this Agreement, the provisions of this Agreement shall control and the provisions contained in the SOW shall be voidable at Microsoft’s election.

provide Microsoft with all relevant data and review and discuss the information, tests, and conclusions relating to the alleged Hazard and the basis for any contemplated recall or other remedial action, including moving the Inventory to another location within the Facility or to another Facility.

4. Miscellaneous

     (a) All Confidential Information is and shall remain the property of Disclosing Party.

Unless otherwise agreed by the Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party, all such computer software and/or hardware is provided “AS IS” without warranty of any kind, and Receiving Party agrees that neither Disclosing Party nor its suppliers shall be liable for any damages whatsoever arising from or relating to Receiving Party’s use or inability to use such software and/or hardware.

     (c) The parties agree to comply with all applicable international and national laws that apply to (i) any Confidential Information, or (ii) any product (or any part thereof), process or service that is the direct product of the Confidential Information, including the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, as well as end-user, end-use and destination restrictions issued by U.S. and other governments. For additional information on exporting Microsoft products, see http://www.microsoft.com/exporting/.

     (d) The terms of confidentiality under this Agreement shall not be construed to limit either the Disclosing Party or the Receiving Party’s right to independently develop or acquire products without use of the other party’s Confidential Information. Further, the Receiving Party shall be free to use for any purpose the residuals resulting from access to or work with the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, provided that the Receiving Party shall not disclose the Confidential Information except as expressly permitted pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. The term “residuals” means information in intangible form, which is retained in memory by persons who have had access to the Confidential Information, including ideas, concepts, know-how or techniques contained therein. The Receiving Party shall not have any obligation to limit or restrict the assignment of such persons or to pay royalties for any work

resulting from the use of residuals. However, this sub-paragraph shall not be deemed to grant to the Receiving Party a license under the Disclosing Party’s copyrights or patents.

     (e) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by both parties. None of the provisions of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been waived by any act or acquiescence on the part of Disclosing Party, the Receiving Party, their agents, or employees, but only by an instrument in writing signed by an authorized employee of Disclosing Party and the Receiving Party. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of any other provision(s) or of the same provision on another occasion.

     (f) If either Disclosing Party or the Receiving Party employs attorneys to enforce any rights arising out of or relating to this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs. This Agreement shall be construed and controlled by the laws of the State of Washington, and the parties further consent to exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the federal courts sitting in King County, Washington, unless no federal subject matter jurisdiction exists, in which case the parties consent to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue in the Superior Court of King County, Washington. Company waives all defenses of lack of personal jurisdiction and forum non conveniens. Process may be served on either party in the manner authorized by applicable law or court rule.

     (g) This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of each party’s respective successors and lawful assigns; provided, however, that neither party may assign this Agreement (whether by operation of law, sale of securities or assets, merger or otherwise), in whole or in part, without the prior written approval of the other party. Any attempted assignment in violation of this Section shall be void.

     (h) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect.

     (i) Either party may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon ninety (90) days prior written notice to the other party. All sections of this Agreement relating to the rights and obligations of the parties concerning Confidential Information disclosed during the term of the Agreement shall survive any such termination.

5. Suggestions and Feedback

     The Receiving Party may from time to time provide suggestions, comments or other feedback (“Feedback”) to the Disclosing Party with respect to Confidential Information provided originally by the Disclosing Party. Both parties agree that all Feedback is and shall be given entirely voluntarily. Feedback, even if designated as confidential by the party offering the Feedback, shall not, absent a separate written agreement, create any confidentiality obligation for the receiver of the Feedback. Furthermore, except as otherwise provided herein or in a separate subsequent written agreement between the parties, the receiver of the Feedback shall be free to use, disclose, reproduce, license or otherwise distribute, and exploit the Feedback provided to it as it sees fit, entirely without obligation or restriction of any kind on account of intellectual property rights or otherwise.
