(c) PVI makes no warranty with regard to the validity of the Trademarks or the registration thereof. 2.11 Good Faith Incidental Telecasts. The parties acknowledge that Telecasts utilizing the iPoint(TM) Technology cannot be made to conform exactly to specified end users or customers. As a result, a Licensee's good faith use of the iPoint(TM) Technology pursuant to the license granted in Section 2.1 may result in Telecasts beyond the scope of the license grant in Section 2.1. No such good faith, incidental Telecast(s) by a Licensee shall constitute a breach of any obligation of the Licensee or Licensees under this Agreement and the Licensees shall not be required to make any payment to or otherwise separately compensate PVI or any third party on account thereof (provided that Licensees do not collect any incremental revenue associated with the use of iPoint(TM) Technology with such unlicensed Telecasts). 3. LIMITED WARRANTY; INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY; DISCLAIMERS; EXCLUSIONS. 3.1 Limited Warranty. (a) PVI represents and warrants that it owns all of the iPoint(TM) Technology, or has the right to grant licenses therefor and which are necessary to grant the licenses for the iPoint(TM) Technology as provided in this Agreement. (b) The iPoint(TM) Technology is still under development for commercial use, and until PVI determines to make it available to Third Parties for commercial use, PVI makes no warranty of any kind (other than as set forth in Section 3.1(a)) concerning the use and operation of any iPoint(TM) Technology product. From and after the time when PVI releases a commercial product based on the iPoint(TM) Technology, PVI warrants that the Units will operate with the iPoint(TM) Technology substantially in accordance with the Documentation when operated as a unit with the intended software on the intended hardware and operating system environment. PVI does not warrant, however, that operation of the iPoint(TM) Technology or Units operating with the iPoint(TM) Technology shall be uninterrupted or error free. This warranty shall not apply if errors or problems result from Licensees' negligence or improper use of such Units. Licensees shall - 7 - notify PVI in writing of its claim for any such failure to conform. If the iPoint(TM) Technology or any Unit operating with the iPoint(TM) Technology fails to perform in accordance with this warranty, Licensees' exclusive remedy, and PVI's sole obligation under this warranty, shall be limited to the correction or replacement, as soon as practicable, of the iPoint(TM) Technology or such Unit which is cause of the error. If PVI is unable, after expenditure of reasonable commercial efforts, to replace the defective part or correct program errors in the iPoint(TM) Technology, Licensees may, elect to continue use of the Unit with such defects and errors, as is, or terminate this Agreement. PVI's warranty obligation with respect to a specific Unit with the iPoint(TM) Technology shall be void if such Unit, or any portion thereof, is modified by Licensees without PVI's written consent. 3.2 Limitation of Warranty. THE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED IN SECTION 3.1 IS THE ONLY WARRANTY WITH RESPECT TO THE iPoint(TM) TECHNOLOGY. PVI DOES NOT MAKE, AND LICENSEES DO NOT RECEIVE, ANY OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, AND ALL OTHER WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WITH RESPECT TO THE iPoint(TM) TECHNOLOGY, THE DOCUMENTATION OR ANY SERVICES FURNISHED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT ARE EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. 3.3 Intellectual Property Enforcement, Infringement; Indemnification. (a) With respect to any claims of infringement with respect to a patent, copyright, or trade secret which covers the iPoint(TM) Technology or any portion thereof, PVI shall have the first right, but not the duty, to institute infringement actions against Third Parties. If PVI does not institute an infringement proceeding against an offending Third Party, Licensees shall have the right, but not the duty, to institute such an action, provided that PVI shall also appear as a party as licensor and shall have the right to assume control of any infringement proceeding instituted by Licensees by reimbursing Licensees for all of the costs and expenses incurred by Licensees in connection therewith. (b) PVI shall defend, at its expense, any action brought against Licensees to the extent that such action is based on a claim that the use of the iPoint(TM) Technology, within the scope of this Agreement, infringes any patent, trade secret or copyright, other than claims to the extent arising from Licensee's failure to obtain Required Permissions. (c) PVI shall indemnify Licensees from and against any costs, damages or fees incurred, including amounts paid in settlement (provided, so long as PVI is defending such action at PVI's expense and has confirmed that such action is fully subject to PVI's indemnification obligation hereunder, that any such settlement made at PVI's expense is approved by PVI, such approval not to be unreasonably withheld), by Licensees in any action under this Section 4.3 which are attributable to claims that the use of the iPoint(TM) Technology (including any General Improvements), within the scope of this Agreement, infringes any patent, trade secret or copyright, other than claims to the extent arising from Licensee's failure to obtain Required Permissions. Licensees shall notify PVI promptly in writing of any such claim, (provided that such notice shall not constitute a condition precedent to indemnification hereunder) and shall provide at PVI's expense, all available information, and reasonable assistance and authority to - 8 - enable PVI to defend it. Licensees shall also permit PVI to defend, compromise or settle such claims as long as such compromise or settlement is at no cost to Licensees, includes a complete release of Licensees and does not purport to materially restrict any Licensee's future activity. (d) The costs and expenses of any action under this Section 3.3 (including reasonable fees of attorneys and other professionals) shall be borne by the party instituting and maintaining, or defending, such action, as the case may be. If, however, the parties together institute and maintain or defend such action, such costs and expenses shall be borne by the parties in such proportions as they may reasonably agree in writing. Each party shall execute all necessary and proper documents and take such actions as shall be appropriate to allow the other party to institute and maintain, or defend, such action, provided such other party has the right to do so under this Section 3.3. Any award paid by Third Parties as a result of any such action (whether by way of settlement or otherwise) shall be paid to the party who instituted and maintained, or defended, such action, as the case may be. If, however, both parties did so, then such award shall be allocated between the parties in proportion to their respective injuries and contributions to the costs and expenses incurred in such action, or as they may have otherwise agreed. (e) In the event that the iPoint(TM) Technology, or any part thereof, becomes or in PVI's opinion is likely to become the subject of a claim of infringement, PVI may: (i) procure for Licensees, at no cost to Licensees, the right to continue to use the iPoint(TM) Technology, (ii) replace or modify the iPoint(TM) Technology, at no cost to Licensees, to make the iPoint(TM) Technology non-infringing, provided that the same functions at comparable levels are performed by the replaced or modified system, or (iii) if the right to continue to use cannot be reasonably procured or the iPoint(TM) Technology cannot be reasonably replaced or modified, terminate this Agreement. (f) THIS SECTION 3.3 STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF PVI WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OF PATENTS, TRADE SECRETS OR COPYRIGHTS BY THE iPoint(TM) TECHNOLOGY, AND PVI SHALL HAVE NO ADDITIONAL LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO ANY ALLEGED OR PROVEN INFRINGEMENT. 3.4 Exclusion and Disclaimer of Damages. (a) NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOSS OF ANTICIPATED REVENUE OR OTHER DAMAGES ARISING FROM THE LOSS OF USE OF THE iPoint(TM) TECHNOLOGY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES ARISING FROM ANY EVENT GIVING RISE TO TERMINATION UNDER SECTION 5, EVEN IF EITHER PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. (b) PVI'S TOTAL LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT (OTHER THAN FOR DAMAGES RESULTING FROM PVI'S BREACH OF ITS OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN SECTIONS 3.1(a) OR 6.2)) SHALL NOT EXCEED THE - 9 - TOTAL AMOUNT OF PAYMENTS RECEIVED BY PVI FOR THE LICENSES GRANTED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. (c) THE FOREGOING LIMIT CONTAINED IN CLAUSE (b) ABOVE SHALL NOT APPLY TO THE EXTENT DAMAGES RESULT FROM PVI'S GROSS NEGLIGENCE OR WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. (d) IN THE EVENT OF ANY LITIGATION BETWEEN THE PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT THAT IS FINALLY ADJUDICATED (INCLUDING ALL JUDICIAL APPEALS) RESULTING IN MONETARY DAMAGES BEING AWARDED TO A PREVAILING PARTY, THE LOSING PARTY IN ANY SUCH LITIGATION SHALL PAY THE ACTUALLY INCURRED REASONABLE OUTSIDE ATTORNEYS FEES OF THE PREVAILING PARTY. 4. CONFIDENTIAL AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION. 4.1 Confidential and Proprietary Information. (a) Licensees acknowledge and agree that the iPoint(TM) Technology constitutes a valuable asset of PVI and that the information contained in the iPoint(TM) Technology, and any other information that PVI has disclosed or discloses to Licensees prior to the date hereof or during the Term, as the case may be, which PVI indicated or indicates at the time of disclosure is confidential, is confidential and proprietary information of PVI (all such information collectively, the "Information"). Each Licensee agrees that for a period of five years after any termination of this Agreement, it will not, without PVI's prior written consent, directly or indirectly, (i) reveal, report, publish, disclose or transfer any Information to any Third Party other than Licensee's agent or representative, or (ii) use any Information for any purpose or for the benefit of any Third Party, except as expressly authorized in this Agreement. Each Licensee shall make reasonable efforts to notify and inform its agents, representatives and employees who have access to the iPoint(TM) Technology or any Information of such Licensee's limitations, duties and obligations regarding non-disclosure and use of the Information. Licensees shall not, and shall not permit any of their respective agents, representatives or employees, to remove any proprietary or other legends or restrictive notices contained in or included in any Information. In no event shall Licensees use less care to maintain the confidentiality of the Information than they use to maintain the confidentiality of their own confidential and proprietary information. (b) "Confidential and Proprietary Information" shall not include any information which (a) was rightfully in the Licensee's possession prior to receipt from PVI other than through prior disclosure by PVI; (b) now is or hereafter becomes available to the public (including, without limitation, any information filed with any governmental agency and available to the public) other than as the result of a disclosure by the Licensee in breach hereof, (c) becomes available to the Licensee on a nonconfidential basis from a source other than PVI which the Licensee does not believe is prohibited from disclosing such information to the Licensee prior to, any disclosures made by PVI to the Licensee of such information. Additionally, PVI agrees that the Licensee shall have no obligation with respect to any disclosure of Confidential - 10 - and Proprietary Information to the extent it is required to be disclosed by the Licensee by order of a court of competent jurisdiction, administrative agency or governmental body, or by any law, rule or regulation, or by subpoena, or any other administrative or legal process, or by applicable regulatory or professional standards, or in connection with any judicial or other proceeding; provided that if Licensee is required to make any such disclosure of information Licensee will give reasonably prompt notice of such requirement to PVI to permit PVI to make application to contest or limit such disclosure. 4.2 Verification. PVI shall have the right to have its representatives visit the sites where the Units are located at all reasonable times and upon reasonable notice to verify the appropriate use and protection of the Information. 4.3 Specific Performance. Each party acknowledges that monetary damages alone would not adequately compensate either party in the event of a breach of this Agreement and that, in addition to all other remedies available at law or in equity, either party shall be entitled to seek injunctive relief for the enforcement of its rights, without the posting of bond or other security, and to seek an accounting of profits made during the period of such breach. 5. NOTICE OF BREACH/TERMINATION (a) PVI shall notify Cablevision (in addition to the relevant Licensee) and Cablevision shall notify PVI, of any alleged breach of this Agreement. (b) PVI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement, and all licenses granted hereunder, for breach of the obligations under this Agreement by Cablevision (or any of its Licensed Affiliates) that represents material repeated egregious conduct that is not cured within thirty (30) days of Cablevision's receipt of notice from PVI of acts alleged to constitute such conduct (unless such conduct cannot be cured within thirty (30) days, in which case Cablevision shall have a reasonable time to cure).
