Other than the licenses expressly granted herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to be a grant of any intellectual property rights to Reseller or to any of its customers or to any other person or entity, and no title to or ownership of Software or copyright, patent or other intellectual property right therein is transferred to Reseller or to any of its customers. References to "sale" or "purchase" of Software in this Agreement shall be interpreted to mean "license upon the terms contained in this Agreement." 12.2 PROTECTION OF IP RIGHTS. Reseller shall take reasonable measures to protect the intellectual property rights of EMC in connection with all Product, Parts and Documentation, including such assistance and measures as are reasonably requested by EMC. 12.3 INDEMNITY.

If Reseller is enjoined from purchase, use or sale of Product (or license of and with respect to Software), or if in EMC's opinion Reseller is likely to become the subject 8 of a injunction, EMC will at its option and expense either procure for Reseller the right to continue purchasing, using and selling such Product (or licensing such Software) in accordance with this Agreement, or replace or modify such Product so that it becomes non-infringing, or, if Reseller has to credit or refund an End-User on such account, grant Reseller a credit based on a five-year straight-line depreciation of the price of such Product upon return of the Products to EMC. 12.4 LIMITATIONS. EMC shall have no liability to Reseller pursuant to Section 12.3 to the extent that, the alleged infringement is based on (i) use, sale or license of any Products in combination with other equipment or software not provided by EMC; (ii) use of any of the Products in a manner or for a purpose for which they were not designed, as specified in EMC's written specifications; (iii) use of Software when use of a later release of the Software which EMC has made available to Reseller as a recommended ECO would have avoided such infringement; (iv) modifications to any Product or Software not made by EMC; or (v) any intellectual property right owned or licensed by Reseller from a licensor other than EMC. 12.5 NO OTHER LIABILITY. THIS ARTICLE STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF EMC AND ITS LICENSORS AND SUPPLIERS WITH RESPECT TO ALLEGED INFRINGEMENTS OF PATENTS, COPYRIGHTS AND OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY THE PRODUCTS AND SOFTWARE, OR ANY PART OF THEM, OR BY THEIR OPERATION, PURCHASE, LICENSE, USE OR SALE. 13.0 TERMINATION AND DEFAULT 13.1 DEFAULT; REMEDIES. Failure of either Party to pay or perform any of its obligations hereunder within thirty (30) days after receipt of written notice from the other Party describing the nature of the nonperformance shall constitute default, except for Reseller's failure to pay hereunder, which will require only ten (10) days prior written notice of default. Upon an event of default continuing after the expiration of such 30- (or 10-) day period, the non-defaulting Party may either suspend all or any portion of its obligations pending completion of corrective action by the noticed Party, or may terminate this Agreement. Relative to defaults comprising more than a failure to pay money, if within such 30-day period, after receipt of written notice from the other Party describing the nature of the non-performance, either the default is cured or the non-performing Party submits in writing a plan for curing the non-performance that is reasonably agreeable to the noticing Party, then termination of this Agreement shall not be a remedy during the timely and efficient execution of such plan. Termination or suspension of performance by the noticing Party shall not be deemed a waiver of any of its rights or of the defaulting Party's obligations under this Agreement. This provision does not release either Party from any obligations under this Agreement which, pursuant to this Agreement, are to be fulfilled within a shorter time period than the aforementioned period(s). 13.2 TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Either party may at its option and upon written notice to the other party terminate this Agreement, and/or suspend its performance hereunder, if: (i) a material violation of this Agreement by the other party is not remedied within thirty (30) days after written notice of the violation or such longer period as may 9 reasonably be required given the exercise of due diligence and provided efforts to cure the default are initiated within such period and diligently pursued thereafter; or (ii) the other party admits in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as they become due, or executes an assignment for the benefit of creditors or similar document; or (iii) a receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or similar officer is appointed for the other party's property; or (iv) the other party breaches Section 18.2 (Confidential Information), or Article 16 (Software), or (v) a material portion of the equity or assets of the other party is transferred or this Agreement is assigned or the other party is fully or partially acquired by or merges with a third party, or any third party acquires a controlling interest in the other party, except as permitted by or consented to by the other party pursuant to Section 18.7 (Assignment), below. 13.3 EFFECT OF TERMINATION. In the event of any termination, the provisions of this Agreement shall continue to apply to all Purchase Orders accepted by EMC prior to the effective date of such termination. Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either party from making payments which may be owed to the other party under the terms of this Agreement. Termination shall not exclude other remedies for failure of a party to perform its obligations. The provisions of this Agreement shall, to the extent applicable, survive termination. Termination does not relieve either party from on-going Support related initiatives or contractual obligations entered into during the term of the Agreement. Upon termination by EMC for cause, all monies due to EMC hereunder shall become immediately due and payable by Reseller to EMC. 14.0 PROPRIETARY RIGHTS 14.1 PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.

Such refund shall constitute Reseller's sole remedy and EMC's maximum liability under any warranty with respect to such Material. 11. REPLACEMENT PARTS. Replacement Parts may be new or repaired like-new parts (provided that like-new parts shall not evidence any diminished performance), and will not necessarily be the original Part submitted to EMC for repair. 12.
