ELECTRONIC CATALOG DATA LICENSE AGREEMENT

 

This LICENSE AGREEMENT (“Agreement”) is between General Motors Corporation, Service Parts Operations, a Delaware corporation (“GM”) whose principal business address is 6200 Grand Pointe Drive, P.O. Box 6020, Grand Blanc, Michigan, 48439, and Bell & Howell Publications Systems Company, a company organized and existing under the laws of Ohio, whose principal business address is 3900 Kinross Lake Pkwy, Richfield, Ohio, 44286 (“Licensee”).

 

WITNESSETH

 

WHEREAS, GM owns valuable copyrights associated with technical information regarding service parts for automobile and truck repair and maintenance and the catalogs, illustrations, and charts of these parts as listed in Schedule III of this Agreement, hereinafter referred to as “Catalog Data” and has the right to authorize others to copy, reproduce, distribute, and use Catalog Data protected by such copyrights, and

 

WHEREAS, Licensee desires to copy, reproduce, distribute, and use the Catalog Data to market its electronic parts catalog system to General Motors affiliates, authorized GM Dealers, and authorized GM retail outlets (“GM Dealers”).

 

NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the actual promises herein contained, the parties agree:

 

1. GRANT OF LICENSE

 

(a) Licensed Works. Subject to the terms of this Agreement, GM hereby grants to Licensee and Licensee hereby accepts the right, license, and privilege of utilizing the Catalog Data including the right to copy, reproduce, distribute (either through Licensee or Licensee’s authorized distributors), and use solely and only in support of GM Dealers for use in Licensee’s electronic parts catalog system and in advertising therefore. The “Licensed Works” shall hereinafter be defined as the product resulting from the integration of the Catalog Data and Licensee’s electronic parts catalog system(s). GM reserves the right to change the format and content of the Catalog Data in its sole discretion in order to meet the needs of its GM Dealers.

 

(b) Territory. The license hereby granted extends to the United States of America and all worldwide countries in which GM Dealers are licensed to operate by GM or its authorized affiliate. Licensee agrees that, unless otherwise authorized by General Motors Corporation in writing, it will not use or authorize any use, direct or indirect, of the Catalog Data in any other area, and it will not knowingly provide the Licensed Works to persons who intend or are likely to use them in any other area.

 

1


(c) Term. The initial term of this Agreement shall be effective on September 1, 1999, and shall continue until August 31, 2002, unless sooner terminated in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. Any yearly period from September 1 to August 31 is designated to be an Annual Term.

 

2. TERMS OF PAYMENT

 

(a) Royalty Rates. Licensee agrees to pay GM within thirty days after the end of an Annual Term an annual royalty per GM Dealer/Customer served. Such royalty shall comprise a sum equal to the per Dealer User Fee specified in Schedule II and will be based on the number of GM Dealers and Customers approved by GM to whom Licensee provides the Catalog Data. Licensee may prorate the royalty based on the number of months of active service to the GM Dealer for installations during the current Annual Term (i.e., GM Dealer-installed in April of the current annual term would represent royalty due of 5/12th of charges specified in Schedule II for the current Annual Term). GM will have the right, no less than thirty days before the start of the next Annual Term, to update the charges specified in Schedule II.

 

(b) Update Rates. Licensee agrees to pay GM within thirty days after the end of an Annual Term an annual amount specified in Schedule I for new model and other information necessary to update the Catalog Data. GM will have the right, no less than thirty days before the start of the next Annual Term, to update the charges specified in Schedule I. Payment of update fees may be made in monthly or quarterly installments but will be made in advance of the delivery of the Catalog Data. Upon termination of this Agreement, GM shall continue to provide Licensee with updates to the Catalog Data, in accordance with Schedule III, at the time of termination in order to fulfill Licensee’s obligations to its customers, for a period not to exceed three years after termination. The updates shall be provided at then-current rates and shall be solely for the support of Licensee’s existing customers at the time of termination. Royalty and update fee payments to GM in accordance with section 2(a) and this section of this contract will be in effect during this period of termination.

 

(c) Publication Start-up Package. GM will provide documentation for the Catalog Data which describes the data format and sequence. Licensee will pay, upon the release of the Catalog Data and publications start-up package by GM, a one-time payment as specified in Schedule I as the start-up charge. This start-up charge may be made in installments during the first Annual Term based on the date of execution of this contract and in accordance with the terms detailed in section 2(b).

 

2


(d) Periodic Statement. Licensee shall render to GM, on a periodic basis (for quarters ending in November, February, May and August) on or before the fifteenth day of the month following the end of a quarter a written statement, certified to be accurate by Licensee, identifying the GM Dealers to whom Licensee has provided Catalog Data during the preceding quarter. Such statements shall be furnished to GM whether or not Licensee has provided Catalog Data to any GM Dealer in the immediately preceding quarter. This written statement shall at the minimum include: GM Dealer, name, address, GMSPO Dealer Code and date of first Catalog Date delivery. This information will also be provided in machine readable form. Requirements for communicating this data will be a 3 1/2” diskette in an MS Excel spreadsheet or an acceptable format agreed upon by GMSPO and the Licensee.

 

(e) Payments. The receipt or acceptance by GM of any of the statements furnished or of any royalties or other payments paid (or the cashing of any royalty checks paid, regardless of any notation or statement thereon), pursuant to this Agreement, shall not preclude GM from questioning the correctness thereof at any time, and in the event that any inconsistencies or mistakes are discovered in such statements or payments, they shall immediately be rectified and the appropriate payment made by Licensee.

 

(f) Terms of Payment. Payment shall be made in U.S. Dollars directly to GM, or to such bank as GM may designate in writing to Licensee. Licensee shall be responsible for payment of all applicable federal, state and local; personal property, sales, use and value-added taxes relating to its right to copy, reproduce and distribute the Licensed Works in the Territory.

 

(g) Late Payments. In the event Licensee fails to make any payment when due under this Agreement, a late payment charge at the rate of one and one-half (1 1/2) percent per month, assessed upon the amount past due from the day such payment becomes past due, shall be due and payable to GM without further notice.

 

3. NON-EXCLUSIVITY

 

The license granted under this agreement is non-exclusive, and non-transferable. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to prevent GM from granting any other license for the use of the Catalog Data or from utilizing the Catalog Data in any manner whatsoever. However, GM shall not unreasonably withhold consent of a written request by Licensee to assign this Agreement and the underlying license to a purchaser of all or substantially all of the assets or business of the division which is responsible for the performance of its obligations hereunder.

4. GM’S TITLE AND PROTECTION OF GM’S RIGHTS

 

Licensee agrees that it will not do or suffer to be done, during the term of the Agreement, or thereafter, any act or thing that will impair in any way the copyright of GM in the Catalog Data. GM hereby indemnifies Licensee and undertakes to hold it harmless against any claims, suits, loss or damage arising out of the utilization by Licensee of the Catalog Data as authorized in this Agreement, including, but not limited to claims, suits, loss or damage based on infringement of any copyright, patent, trade secret or other proprietary right, provided that prompt notice is given to GM of any such claim or suit and provided, further, that GM shall have the option to undertake and conduct the defense of any suit brought and no settlement of any such claim or suit is made without the prior written consent of GM.

 

5. COPYRIGHT NOTICE

 

Licensee agrees that it will cause to appear in the presentation of the Licensed Works, in a manner satisfactory to the parties the following copyright notice: “Catalog Data in this system is subject to copyright. Copyright C 1999 by General Motors Corporation, All Rights Reserved.” Licensee shall update this notice with the appropriate date as updated Catalog Data is released by GM. This copyright notice shall be made to appear on any localized hard copy document that is produced from Licensee’s electronic parts catalog system.

 

6. INDEMNIFICATION BY LICENSEE

 

Licensee hereby indemnifies GM and agrees to defend GM against and hold GM harmless from any claims, suits, loss, or damage resulting from changes in or errors or omissions introduced into the Licensed Works during Licensee’s processing of Catalog Data, provided that prompt notice is given to Licensee for any such claim or suit and provided, further, that Licensee shall have the option to undertake and conduct the defense of any suit brought and no settlement of any such claim or suit is made without the prior written consent of Licensee, and provided further that GM promptly notifies Licensee of any such error or omission in the Licensed Works after being so notified by any third party.

7. MARKETING AND DISTRIBUTION

 

(a) Licensee agrees to submit its marketing plans for the Licensed Works to GM for approval at least ninety days before the plans are to be implemented. GM shall approve or disapprove the plans at least sixty days prior to Licensee’s proposed implementation. Licensee shall provide to GM, at the beginning of each Annual Term, an update on the status of marketing plans for the next Annual Term.

 

(b) Licensee shall not market the Licensed Works until GM has approved the presentation of the Catalog Data in its final form. The process for approval of the Catalog Data is detailed in Schedule IV “Vendor Product Reviews and Approval Process.” Licensee agrees to demonstrate such presentation to GM for approval at the same time it submits its initial marketing plans.

 

(c) Licensee agrees that it will not market (either directly or through its distributors) the Licensed Works except to GM Dealers. Licensee agrees to restrict and prohibit re-sale or sub-licensing of the Licensed Works by any customer of Licensee or of Licensee’s distributors. Licensee agrees to obtain express written permission from GM Service Parts Operations to sell or otherwise make Catalog Data available to any customer other than GM Dealers.

 

(d) Licensee agrees to market all Catalog Data included in Schedule III. GM will have the right during each annual term to update Schedule III to include additional data to meet the parts identification obligations for their GM Dealer customers. Licensee agrees to provide timely delivery of the Catalog Data to GM Dealers. Schedule III includes “maximum delivery time” which details the maximum number of days for delivery of the Catalog Data to GM Dealers, after it is received by Licensee.

 

(e) Licensee is required to notify GM and GM Dealers of all distribution delays, incomplete Catalog Data and catalog revisions.

 

(f) Licensee will incorporate Schedule V, Functional Requirements within the electronic parts catalog system(s).

 

(i) The Functional Requirements, Schedule V will be completed and returned within 30 days after this agreement is signed, unless a new timeframe is established and accepted by GM and the Licensee.

 

(ii) Licensee will notify GM upon completion of each item on Schedule V. The Licensee will provide the necessary information and data required by GM, which will allow GM to verify that the Functional Requirements, Schedule V are completed.

 

(iii) Licensee will provide the Functional Requirements within Schedule V at no cost to GM by the completion dates specified and agreed upon by the Licensee and GM. If these functions are not completed by the date specified on Schedule V, this contract will be terminated as stated in section 9(c).

8. RECORDS

 

Licensee agrees to keep accurate books of account and records covering all transactions relating to the marketing of the Licensed Works to GM Dealers, and GM and its duly authorized representatives shall have the right at all reasonable hours of the regular business day to an examination of said books of account and records, and shall have free and full access thereto for said purposes and for the purpose of making extracts therefrom. All books of account and records shall be kept available for at least seven (7) years after termination of this Agreement.

 

9. TERMINATION

 

(a) If Licensee files a petition in bankruptcy or is adjudicated a bankrupt or if a petition in bankruptcy is filed against Licensee and remains undismissed for sixty days or if it becomes insolvent, or makes an assignment for the benefit of all or substantially all of its creditors or an arrangement pursuant to any bankruptcy law, or if Licensee discontinues all or a significant portion of its GM Catalog Publication Systems business or if a receiver is appointed for it or its business, the license hereby granted shall automatically terminate without any notice being necessary. In the event the license is so terminated, Licensee, its receivers, representatives, trustees, agents, administrator, successors, or assigns shall have no right to sell, exploit or in any way deal with or in any Licensed Works.

 

(b) If Licensee shall violate or breach any of its payment obligations under the terms of this Agreement, GM shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the license hereby granted upon thirty days’ notice in writing, and such notice of termination shall become effective unless Licensee shall remedy the violation or breach within the thirty-day period and satisfy GM that such violation has been remedied.

 

(c) If Licensee shall violate or breach any of its obligations under the terms of this Agreement, GM shall have the right to terminate this Agreement and the license hereby granted upon sixty days’ notice in writing, which termination will become effective unless Licensee shall remedy the violation or breach within the sixty-day period and satisfy GM that such violation has been remedied.

 

(d) Termination of the license under the provisions of this paragraph (9) shall be without prejudice to any rights which GM may otherwise have against Licensee. Upon such termination of the license, all royalties and other payments on sales made prior to termination shall become immediately due and payable, under the terms of Section 2 (f) of this agreement.

 

10. EFFECT OF TERMINATION OR EXPIRATION

 

Upon and after the expiration or termination of this Agreement, all rights granted to Licensee hereunder shall forthwith revert to GM, (except as otherwise provided herein), and Licensee will refrain from further use of Catalog Data in connection with the marketing of Licensed Works.

11. GM’S REMEDIES

 

(a) Licensee acknowledges that its failure (except as otherwise provided herein) to cease sale or distribution of the Licensed Works at the termination or expiration of this Agreement will result in immediate and irreparable damage to GM and to the rights of any subsequent Licensee.

 

Licensee acknowledges and admits that there is no adequate remedy at law for such failure to cease sale or distribution, and Licensee agrees that, in the event of such failure, GM shall be entitled to equitable relief by way of temporary and permanent injunctions and such further relief as any court with jurisdiction may deem just and proper.

 

(b) Resort to any remedies referred to herein shall not be construed as a waiver of any of the rights and remedies to which GM is entitled under this Agreement or otherwise.
