If the proposed EOL is deemed
Netronome Systems, Inc. - Sourcefire, Inc. A&R OEM Agreement May 2010 | Page 8 |
unacceptable to OEM because it is likely to, or will ultimately, result in a material adverse effect on OEMs business arrangement hereunder, upon written notification, Netronome will, at receipt of OEMs Purchase Order, supply OEM with up to six (6) months of the forecasted requirements at the previous configuration before effectuating the EOL change. If Netronome is not able to provide the previous configuration, Netronome will use reasonable commercial efforts to: (i) provide information to assist OEM in making changes to OEMs products to accommodate changes, or (ii) provide OEM with End of Life Equipment or other Licensed Materials in accordance with this Agreement. If in OEMs and Netronomes mutual good faith judgment such remedies will be insufficient to enable OEM to satisfy its on-going contractual obligations, OEM may elect to exercise its Make or Manufacture Option specified in Section 6.8 with respect to any Equipment (including Finished Products) or other Licensed Materials subject to such EOL status.

OEM also agrees to retain all proprietary marks, legends and patent and copyright notices that appear on the Equipment, Licensed Materials, or Netronomes Confidential Information or Marks delivered to OEM by Netronome and all whole or partial copies thereof. This Agreement is non-exclusive, and nothing contained herein shall prevent or otherwise limit either Party from, on its own or jointly with third parties, developing products or services that are substantially similar as or competitive with the other Partys products and servces as long as such Party does so (i) independently and without any use or disclosure of the other Partys Confidential Information, and (ii) without breaching its other obligations under this Agreement.

In no event will United States Government Cost Accounting Standards apply. All rights in technical data and software owned or licensed by Netronome or any third party licensor or manufacturer are hereby reserved and deemed restricted or limited.

Each Party hereby expressly consents to (i) the personal jurisdiction of the federal and state courts within New York, (ii) service of process being effected upon it by registered mail sent to the address set forth at the beginning of this Agreement, and (iii) the uncontested enforcement of a final judgment from such court in any other jurisdiction wherein either Party or any of its assets are present.

Upon the execution of this Agreement, the Prior Agreement (and all amendments thereto) shall be automatically terminated and replaced with this Agreement and this Agreement shall be the only amendment to the Prior Agreement as of the Effective Date. No modification of or amendment to this Agreement, nor any waiver of any rights under this Agreement, shall be effective unless in writing signed by the Party to be charged. Any Statement of Works previously entered into by the Parties pursuant to Section 6.7 shall remain in full force and effect in accordance with their terms. For the avoidance of doubt, the Parties agree that the Prior Agreement governed the Parties relationship from November 25, 2008 (the date of execution of the Prior Agreement) until the Effective Date of this Agreement.
12.4. Notices. All notices and other communications required or permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed effective upon Receipt.
12.5. Force Majeure. Neither Party will be liable for any failure to perform acts, other than payment obligations, to the extent such performance is rendered impossible due to unforeseen circumstances or causes beyond such partys reasonable control, including, but not limited to, acts of God, war, riot, embargoes, acts of civil or military authorities, acts of terrorism or sabotage, electronic viruses, worms or corrupting microcode, shortage of supply or delay in delivery by Netronomes vendors, fire, flood, earthquake, accident, strikes, radiation, inability to secure transportation, failure of communications or electrical lines, facilities, fuel, energy, labor or materials.

12.6. Nonassignability and Binding Effect. Neither Party shall assign this Agreement or otherwise transfer this Agreement to any third party without the prior written consent of the other Party, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or denied. Notwithstanding the foregoing, either Party may assign this Agreement without the consent of the other Party if a majority of its outstanding voting capital stock is sold to a third party, or upon the merger or consolidation of one Party into, or the sale of all or substantially all of the assets of such Party to, a third party. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the Parties successors and their permitted assigns.
12.7. Legal Expenses. The prevailing Party in any legal action brought by one Party against the other and arising out of this Agreement shall be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may have, to reimbursement for its expenses, including court costs and reasonable attorneys fees.
12.8. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in multiple counterparts, each of which shall be deemed an original and all of which together shall constitute one instrument. This Agreement may be executed by facsimile or scanned signatures. Each individual executing this Agreement on behalf of a Party has the requisite power and authority to sign this Agreement on behalf of such Party.
12.9. No Waiver. The failure by either Party to enforce any provision of this Agreement will not constitute a waiver of future enforcement of that or any other provision.
