All Intellectual Property Rights that are owned or controlled by a Party at the commencement of this Agreement will remain under the ownership or control of such Party throughout the term of this Agreement and thereafter. Unless explicitly, incontrovertibly granted in this Agreement and paid for in full by Licensee to Licensor, no work, work product, Statement of Work, or Services, whether by performance or non-performance, shall cause Licensee to acquire any ownership or rights to Licensors Software, Intellectual Property Rights, or other property, in whole or in part or any derivative of Licensor property. In case of conflict or ambiguity in interpretation of any agreement between the Parties with respect to this subject matter, this Section 5.1 shall govern and be taken as the basis for any interpretations or conflict resolutions and in the absence of incontrovertible evidence to the contrary, Licensor shall retain sole rights or, as the case may be, acquire sole rights in and to any pre-existing, existing, and arising intellectual property arising from this Agreement, including performance and non-performance hereunder, and Licensee shall cooperate in perfecting Licensors sole and unencumbered ownership thereof.

All rights not expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement are retained by Licensor.
6. CONFIDENTIALITY.
6.1 Confidential Information. Each Party (the Disclosing Party) may from time to time during the term of this Agreement disclose to the other Party (the Receiving Party) certain information regarding the Disclosing Partys business, including, without limitation, technical, marketing, financial, employee, planning and other confidential or proprietary information, which information is either marked as confidential or proprietary (or bears a similar legend) or which a reasonable person would understand to be confidential given the circumstance and nature of the disclosure (Confidential Information), and whether disclosed orally or in writing. Without limiting the foregoing, each Partys Confidential Information shall include all customer lists and other materials and technology owned or otherwise controlled by it; provided, however, any customer lists of Licensor resulting from customers of Licensee during the term of this Agreement (as a result of End Users being parties to the MWSTC as defined in the Supply Agreement ) is deemed Confidential Information of Licensee and not of Licensor. Confidential Information does not include information that: (i) is in the Receiving Partys possession at the time of disclosure as shown by credible evidence; (ii) before or after it has been disclosed to the Receiving Party, enters the public domain, not as a result of any action or inaction of the Receiving Party; (iii) is approved for release by written authorization of the Disclosing Party; (iv) is disclosed to the Receiving Party by a third party not in violation of any obligation of confidentiality; or (v) is independently developed by the Receiving Party without reference to Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as evidenced by such Partys written records.
6.2 Protection of Confidential Information. The Receiving Party will not use any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party for any purpose other than performing its obligations or exercising its rights under this Agreement, and will disclose the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party only to Receiving Partys employees, agents, directors, officers, auditors, regulators and contractors on a need to know basis, provided such persons are under a contractual obligation with Receiving Party to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential Information, which obligation is consistent with, and no less protective of Confidential Information, than the terms of this Section 6.2. The Receiving Party will protect the Disclosing Partys Confidential Information from unauthorized use, access, or disclosure in the same manner as the Receiving Party
9
protects its own confidential or proprietary information of a similar nature and with no less than reasonable care. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Confidential Information may be disclosed as required by law or by order of a court of competent jurisdiction. In such event and if reasonably possible under the circumstances of disclosure, the Receiving Party will provide the Disclosing Party with prompt prior notice of such obligation in order to permit the Disclosing Party an opportunity to take legal action to prevent or limit the scope of such disclosure. Unauthorized disclosure or use of the Disclosing Partys Confidential Information may cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party for which recovery of money damages would be inadequate; consequently, the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to timely injunctive relief to protect its rights under this Section 6.2, in addition to any and all remedies available at law or in equity.
6.3 Confidentiality of Agreement. Other than as permitted in this Agreement, neither Party will disclose any terms of this Agreement to anyone other than its attorneys, accountants, and other professional advisors under a duty of confidentiality except: (a) as required by law; or (b) pursuant to a mutually agreeable press release; or (c) in connection with a proposed merger (of any kind), any debt or equity financing, in connection with a public offering of shares or sale of such Partys business.
6.4 Return of Confidential Information. Within thirty (30) days of the termination of the Agreement, for any reason, each Receiving Party shall return to Disclosing Party all Confidential Information, including any copies thereof which were, at any time, in the possession of receiving Party, and all materials (in any medium whatsoever), which contain or embody Confidential Information, and shall cease to make any further use of Confidential Information.

10
expeditious manner; (iii) to Licensors knowledge, no Software, or any part thereof, delivered to Licensee hereunder shall infringe on any third party patent, copyright, trade secret or other Intellectual Property Right; (iv) neither the Software nor any portion thereof contains or is included in, is derived from, was developed using or with reference to, or is distributed with any Open Source Software unless disclosed by Licensor in writing or in notices within the Software; and (v) the Services, in all material respects, will be performed in accordance with, and the Software, in all material respects, will conform to, all regulatory requirements and standards, if any. In the event of a breach of any of the foregoing warranties, Licensee shall notify Licensor of such breach after the Services are rendered and/or the Software is delivered to Licensee (as the case may be) and Licensor shall re-perform the Services or re-deliver the Software, as the case may be, so that they conform to the applicable warranty.

7.3 Software Support. Software is supported, not warrantied. Licensor agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure, for one (1) year, commencing upon delivery of the Software to each End User hereunder (Support Period), that the Software shall operate in substantial conformity to the Specifications and Documentation (Support). To the extent Software fails to conform to the Specifications, Licensor shall, at its sole discretion, either: (a) remedy the purported non-conformity within a reasonable time; or (b) replace the Software within a reasonable time with Software having substantially similar functionality, provided, that Licensee notifies Licensor in writing of any defect or nonconformity covered by this Support within a reasonable time of discovering the defect or non-conformity.
7.4 Due Diligence. Licensor warrants that it has made due inquiry regarding, and performed a due diligence review with respect to, the Intellectual Property Rights and nothing has come to the attention of Licensor in the scope of its due diligence review that gave it reason to believe that such warranties are or may be untrue in any respect. Licensee warrants that it has made due inquiry regarding the Licensor Software and that this is an arms-length transaction entered into freely by Licensee based on Licensees best interest and diligence as to the cost versus the benefits of this Agreement. Licensee further represents that Licensor, a recent Affiliate, has not unduly influenced Licensee to enter into this Agreement, and that Licensee enters into the Agreement, with all of the benefits, conditions, and limitations therein, freely and in pursuit of Licensees own best interests, independent of Licensors influence or best interests.
7.5 No Implied Warranties. THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES AND SUPPORT IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE IN LIEU OF AND TO THE EXCLUSION OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SUBJECT TO THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THIS AGREEMENT, LICENSOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE LICENSED PROGRAM WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. THE WARRANTY DOES NOT COVER ANY MEDIA OR DOCUMENTATION THAT HAS BEEN SUBJECT TO DAMAGE OR ABUSE. THE SOFTWARE WARRANTY COVERS ONLY THE UNMODIFIED PRODUCT DELIVERED BY LICENSOR AND DOES NOT COVER ANY PROBLEMS CAUSED BY ALTERATIONS OR CHANGES MADE BY ANYONE OTHER THAN LICENSOR. LICENSOR IS NOT RESPONSIBLE FOR PROBLEMS CAUSED BY CHANGES IN THE OPERATING CHARACTERISTICS OF COMPUTER HARDWARE OR COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEMS MADE AFTER DELIVERY OF THE LICENSED PROGRAM, NOR FOR PROBLEMS IN THE INTERACTION OF THE SOFTWARE WITH NON-LICENSOR SOFTWARE EXCEPT AS SET FORTH OTHERWISE IN THE SPECIFICATIONS FOR THE SOFTWARE.

10. MISCELLANEOUS.
10.1 Force Majeure. Except as specifically provided elsewhere in this Agreement, neither Party shall be liable to the other for delays in performing or for its failure to perform any obligation under this Agreement to the extent that such delays or failures result from or arise out of causes beyond such Partys control or reasonable expectation, including, by way of illustration but not limitation, fire, flood, war, weather of exceptional severity, civil disturbance, strikes or work stoppages, acts of God or of the public enemy, acts of any government, extended power failures, large increases in Internet activity in a short period of time (commonly known as usage spikes), attacks on the Partys computer network or server, viruses which are not preventable through generally available retail products, and catastrophic hardware and telecommunications failures.
10.2 Compliance with Laws. Each Party shall comply with all federal, state and local laws and regulations, as amended from time to time, applicable to the performance of its obligations hereunder. Licensor and Licensee understand and acknowledge that the Software may be subject to the export regulations of the United States Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended, or a successor act. Licensor and Licensee represent that they will not knowingly permit the exportation or transshipment of all or any part of the Software in violation of the above-referenced law and regulations. Each Party agrees to indemnify and hold the other Party harmless from any and all costs, damages, fines, and other expenses incurred by reason of its violations of these representations.
13
10.3 Relationship of Parties. The parties are independent contractors under this Agreement and no other relationship is intended, including a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, employer/employee, fiduciary, master/servant relationship, or other special relationship. Neither Party shall act in a manner which expresses or implies a relationship other than that of independent contractor, nor bind the other Party.
10.4 Equitable Relief. Each Party acknowledges that a breach by the other Party of any confidentiality or proprietary rights provision of this Agreement may cause the non-breaching Party irreparable damage, for which the award of damages would not be adequate compensation. Consequently, the non-breaching Party may institute an action to enjoin the breaching Party from any and all acts in violation of those provisions, which remedy shall be cumulative and not exclusive, and a Party may seek the entry of an injunction enjoining any breach or threatened breach of those provisions, in addition to any other relief to which the non-breaching Party may be entitled at law or in equity.
10.5 Governing Law; Venue. This Agreement and any action related thereto shall be governed, controlled, interpreted and defined by and under the laws of the State of Colorado and the United States, without regard to the conflicts of laws provisions thereof. The parties specifically disclaim the UN Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any dispute or litigation based on, related to or arising out of this Agreement must be brought and maintained in Denver County, Colorado, before a court of competent jurisdiction. Each Party consents to the personal jurisdiction of the State of Colorado, acknowledges that venue is proper in any of its state or federal courts, and waives any objection it has or may have in the future with respect to any of the above.
10.6 Attorneys Fees. In addition to any other relief awarded, the prevailing Party in any action arising out of this Agreement shall be entitled to its reasonable attorneys fees and costs.
10.7 Notices. All notices, demands, and other communications given or delivered under this Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given, (a) when received if given in person, (b) on the date of electronic confirmation of receipt if sent by facsimile, other wire transmission, or by e-mail, (c) three days after being deposited in the U.S. mail, certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, or (d) one day after being deposited with a reputable overnight courier. Notices, demands, and communications to the parties shall, unless another address is specified in writing, be sent to the address, e-mail address or facsimile number indicated on the signature page.
10.8 Assignment. Licensee shall not transfer or assign any of its rights or delegate any of its obligations, in whole or in part, whether voluntarily or by operation of law, without the prior written consent of Licensor; provided, however, that either Party may, without securing such prior consent, assign this Agreement and its rights and obligations to any successor of such first Party by way of merger, consolidation, or the acquisition of substantially all of the assets of such first Party or of the assets of the business to which this Agreement relates by delivering a written undertaking from the assignee to be legally bound by the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary, Licensor may perform its obligations, in whole or in part, in Licensors sole discretion, through authorized third parties or Affiliates.

LICENSOR DISCLAIMS AND REFUSES ANY ASSIGNMENT BY LICENSEE, FOR THE BENEFIT OF THIRD PARTY CREDITORS, INVESTORS, OR ANY OTHER ENTITY, OF ANY RIGHT, TITLE OR CLAIM IN AND TO THE LICENSE, SOFTWARE, OR IN THIS AGREEMENT.
10.9 Waiver and Modification. Failure by either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not be deemed a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision. Any waiver, amendment or other modification of any provision of this Agreement will be effective only if in writing and signed by the parties.
10.10 Severability. If for any reason a court of competent jurisdiction finds any provision of this Agreement to be unenforceable, that provision of the Agreement will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible so as to affect the intent of the parties, and the remainder of this Agreement will continue in full force and effect.
10.11 Headings. Headings used in this Agreement are for ease of reference only and shall not be used to interpret any aspect of this Agreement.
10.12 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including all Exhibits which are incorporated herein by reference, and the Supply Agreement constitute the entire agreement between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof, and supersede and replace all prior and contemporaneous understandings or agreements, written or oral, regarding such subject matter. To the extent any terms and conditions of this Agreement conflict with the terms and conditions of any Exhibit or Statement of Work entered into by the Parties hereunder, the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern and control.
10.13 Counterparts/Facsimiles. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which when executed and delivered shall be deemed an original, and such counterparts together shall constitute one and the same instrument.
