For the avoidance of doubt, under no circumstances shall CSRA or any CSRA Subsidiaries provide copies of, display or otherwise disclose the Licensed Product Specifications to End Users or to any Third Party other than CSRA Personnel. |
(d) | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, to the extent the CSC Agility License granted to CSRA in Section 2.1(a) or the Products License granted to CSRA in Section 2.2(a) entitles CSRA to any Licensed Product Sales Materials, CSRA shall only be permitted pursuant to such license to access, use, copy and make Improvements to such Licensed Product Sales Materials solely for internal use to support sales of the Licensed Products to End Users. |
(e) | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Products License shall entitle CSRA to access, use, copy, modify, distribute and make Improvements to the NPS-Developed Products and the Applicable Licensed Product Items for both internal use as well as to sublicense the NPS-Developed Products and the Applicable Licensed Product Items to CSRA Subsidiaries and End Users. |
2.4 | Grant of Know-How License |
(a) | Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Agreement, CSC hereby grants to CSRA a perpetual, non-transferrable, non-assignable, royalty-free limited license to access and use the Licensed Know-How in accordance with and as expressly permitted by this Agreement and in no other manner whatsoever (the “Know-How License”). During the Initial Term, the Know-How License shall be (i) limited solely to the CSRA Field and (ii) exclusive as to clause (i) of the definition of “CSRA Field” (other |
10 |
than and subject to any rights in respect of the Licensed Know-How granted by CSC or any CSC Subsidiaries to any Third Party prior to the date of this Agreement) even as against CSC.
(b) | CSRA shall not transfer, assign or sublicense, or purport to transfer, assign or sublicense, its rights under the Licensed Know-How other than to CSRA Subsidiaries to the extent required in connection with the operation of the CSRA Business solely in the CSRA Field and in accordance with this Agreement. |
2.5 | Grant of Trademarks License |
(a) | Upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in this Section 2.5, including Section 2.5(c), CSC hereby grants to CSRA and CSRA Subsidiaries a perpetual, non-transferrable, non-assignable, royalty-free, non-exclusive, limited license to use the trademarks, service marks, logos, and domain names listed on Schedule 2.5(a), whether registered or unregistered (the “Licensed Marks”), within the CSRA Field, in connection with the operation, advertisement, marketing, promotion and support of the CSRA Business and the Licensed Products in accordance with the limitations set forth on Schedule 2.5(a), and in a manner not likely to cause confusion with the Unlicensed Marks (the “Trademarks License”). |
(b) | CSRA acknowledges and agrees, and agrees to cause all CSRA Subsidiaries and sublicensees to acknowledge and agree, that all right (including all Intellectual Property Rights), title and interest in the Licensed Marks are owned exclusively by CSC. No right, title or interest in any Unlicensed Marks are granted to CSRA, CSRA Subsidiaries or any Third Party by this Agreement. |
(c) | Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, the Trademarks License to use the specific marks (i) “COMPUTER SCIENCES” and (ii) “CSC” is hereby expressly limited to the right of CSRA to use, for up to six (6) months after the date hereof, such marks as part of an existing corporate or entity name of any CSRA Subsidiary and for no other purpose whatsoever; provided, however, that CSRA shall, and shall cause the applicable CSRA Subsidiaries to, (i) use its and their best efforts to promptly file amended articles of incorporation (or equivalent organizational documents) with the appropriate Governmental Entity changing its corporate or entity name to a corporate or entity name that does not contain “COMPUTER SCIENCES” or “CSC”, and (ii) provide CSC with any additional information, documents and materials that CSC may request to evidence those filings. None of the other Licensed Marks may be used by CSRA or CSRA Subsidiaries as a corporate or entity name, or trade name. |
(d) | Other than the specific marks “COMPUTER SCIENCES” and “CSC”, which may not be sublicensed to any Person other than an existing CSRA Subsidiary currently using such marks as or as part of an existing corporate or entity name, CSRA and CSRA Subsidiaries may sublicense the Licensed Marks solely in writing in accordance with the Trademarks License to advertisers, distributors, vendors, dealers, suppliers and other Persons, solely for use in connection with the operation of the CSRA Business in a manner consistent with current practice and in accordance with and as expressly permitted by this Agreement. CSRA shall be liable hereunder for any act or omission by a sublicensee or by any CSRA Subsidiaries that would constitute a breach of the Trademarks License or other terms hereof, as if committed by CSRA. |
(e) | CSRA’s, CSRA Subsidiaries’ and any sublicensees’ use of the Licensed Marks shall comply with relevant elements of CSC’s trademark guidelines and applicable Laws. CSC further reserves the right to approve the quality and propriety of any goods or services using the Licensed Marks, which approval shall not be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed. It is the purpose of this provision to prevent uses of the Licensed Marks in a manner that are inconsistent with CSC’s high quality of goods and services or in a |
11 |
manner that might be offensive to ordinary and customary standards of exceptional service as determined by CSC, in its sole discretion, or that could undermine or damage the reputation of CSC. CSRA further agrees to furnish CSC, upon request, with sample specimens of each item bearing or displaying the Licensed Marks or pre-printed promotional literature, video, media production, web pages, or other marketing aids which CSRA, CSRA Subsidiaries, or any sublicensee proposes to use with and which incorporate the Licensed Marks. CSRA agrees that all advertising and promotional materials in which it and CSRA Subsidiaries and sublicensees use the Licensed Marks shall be truthful in all respects. CSC shall have the right to require CSRA, CSRA Subsidiaries and any sublicensee to make reasonable changes to such literature or marketing aids, or to any goods or services, for the purpose of eliminating inaccuracies, to ensure compliance with the requirements of this section or otherwise to protect the Licensed Marks. If no objection is made by CSC within ten (10) Business Days after its receipt of such material, CSC shall be deemed not to object to its use or distribution. CSC shall not be deemed to endorse the accuracy of, or assume any legal responsibility for the contents of, such promotional material or media presentations. CSRA and CSRA Subsidiaries may not modify, change or alter any Licensed Xxxx without the prior written consent of CSC. CSRA agrees that it shall not, directly or indirectly, do, omit to do, or permit to be done, any act that will or may dilute the goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks or tarnish or bring into disrepute the reputation of or goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks or CSC or that will or may invalidate or jeopardize any registration of the Licensed Marks. CSRA and CSRA Subsidiaries shall not purchase Internet keywords or domain names containing the Licensed Marks.
(f) | CSRA recognizes the ownership of, and great value of the goodwill associated with, the Licensed Marks as well as the xxxx “COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION”. CSRA acknowledges that such goodwill belongs to CSC and that such Licensed Marks, as well as the xxxx “COMPUTER SCIENCES CORPORATION”, have inherent and/or acquired distinctiveness and are famous marks. Nothing in this Agreement gives CSRA, CSRA Subsidiaries, or any sublicensees any right, title, or interest in the Licensed Marks, except the right to use the Licensed Marks in accordance with the terms of this Agreement. CSRA’s, CSRA Subsidiaries’, and any sublicensees’ use of the Licensed Marks shall inure to the benefit of CSC. CSRA, CSRA Subsidiaries, and sublicensees, will not, and will not cause any other Person to, seek to register any marks for, containing, or confusingly similar to, the Licensed Marks. CSRA, CSRA Subsidiaries, and sublicensees shall not, and shall not cause any other Person to, oppose or seek to cancel or challenge, in any forum anywhere in the world, including, but not limited to, the United States Patent and Trademark Office, any application or registration by CSC for the Licensed Marks, or any composite xxxx containing a Licensed Xxxx as an element of such composite xxxx. Further, CSRA, CSRA Subsidiaries, and sublicensees shall not, and shall not cause any other Person to, object to, or file any action or lawsuit because of, any use by CSC of (i) the Licensed Marks, (ii) any composite xxxx containing a Licensed Xxxx, or (iii) any company name, corporate name, trade name, keyword, or domain name consisting of or containing any of the Licensed Marks, for or in connection with any goods or services, whether such use is by CSC directly or through CSC’s licensees, CSC Subsidiaries, or CSC’s authorized users; and CSRA, CSRA Subsidiaries, and sublicensees will not, and will not cause any other Person to, take any other action that may adversely affect or contest CSC’s ownership of or right to use or the validity, incontestability or enforceability of the Licensed Marks, any composite xxxx containing a Licensed Xxxx, or the goodwill associated with the Licensed Marks. |
(g) | CSRA, CSRA Subsidiaries, and any sublicensees as permitted under this Agreement will display on materials utilizing or displaying the Licensed Marks any notice, marking, or indicia of ownership required by this Agreement or otherwise by CSC from time to time. CSRA, CSRA Subsidiaries, and any sublicensees |
12 |
as permitted under this Agreement will, in all material respects, use the Licensed Marks in a manner reasonably calculated to prevent the Licensed Marks from becoming generic or otherwise invalid.
(h) | CSRA agrees to notify CSC in writing, as promptly as reasonably practicable, of any of the following that may come to the attention of CSRA: (i) any adoption, use, or registration of any xxxx, trade name, trading style or corporate name, domain name, or designation which would infringe, impair or dilute, or tend to infringe, impair or dilute, the Licensed Marks, (ii) any challenge to CSC’s use, CSRA’s use, CSRA Subsidiaries’ use, or any sublicensees’ use of any Licensed Xxxx, or (iii) any claim made by any Person of any rights in any Licensed Xxxx. |
(i) | Except as provided herein, CSC shall be responsible, at its sole discretion, for renewing and maintaining at CSC’s expense all trademark applications and registrations for the Licensed Marks. CSC may elect, for any reason, not to renew any applications and registrations for the Licensed Marks. In the event CSC determines during the Initial Term that it intends to allow an application or registration for a Licensed Xxxx, other than the “CSC” xxxx, to lapse, be cancelled or be abandoned, it will notify CSRA as promptly as reasonably practicable and CSRA shall be entitled to pursue or maintain such application or registration in CSC’s name, but at CSRA’s sole cost and expense. Each Party agrees to cooperate and provide promptly, upon any request by the other Party, appropriate samples and specimens of CSC’s, CSRA’s, and CSRA Subsidiaries’, and any authorized sublicensees’ use of the Licensed Marks and to otherwise assist the relevant Party in applying for, registering, maintaining and renewing CSC’s applications and registrations for the Licensed Marks, at CSC’s expense. |
(j) | CSRA shall, at its own expense, at least once in every six (6) months and at any time at CSC’s written request, provide CSC with a written report detailing, for each Licensed Xxxx: (i) each jurisdiction where Computer Science GS, every CSRA Subsidiary, and every sublicensee is using such Licensed Xxxx and (ii) the manner in which such Licensed Xxxx is being used in such jurisdiction. |
(k) | CSC may elect at any time, at its sole discretion and for any reason, to change, alter, or replace the trademarks and service marks that CSC directs to be used by CSRA as the names of the Licensed Products. Any changed/altered/replaced trademarks and service marks directed by CSC to be used by CSRA as the new names of the Licensed Products (the “New Marks”) will become Licensed Marks under this Agreement immediately upon receipt by CSRA of written notification by CSC of any New Marks. Upon receipt by CSRA of written notice of any New Marks, CSRA agrees to, and agrees to cause all CSRA Subsidiaries and sublicensees to, change over within ninety (90) days on all web pages, marketing materials, promotional items, advertising, documents, files, and other materials to the use of the New Marks instead of the former Licensed Marks being used for such Licensed Products. |
(l) | Nothing in this Agreement shall constitute any representation or warranty by CSC that any Licensed Xxxx is valid or that the exercise by CSRA, any CSRA Subsidiary, or any sublicensee of any rights granted under this Agreement with respect to any Licensed Xxxx will not infringe the Intellectual Property Rights of any Person. |
2.6 | Grant of Option to License Other Products |
CSC hereby grants to CSRA an option to license, at any time during the Initial Term, any Other Products as CSRA may from time to time within such period reasonably request for use by CSRA solely within the
13 |
CSRA Field. The terms and conditions of any such licenses, including any fees or maintenance rights or obligations, shall be negotiated and agreed between CSC and CSRA on an arm’s-length basis at such time.
2.7 | Preservation of Ownership of Proprietary Rights and Sublicense Requirements |
(a) | All rights not specifically granted to CSRA herein are hereby retained by CSC. There are no implied licenses to any of the CSC Proprietary Items (or to any right, title or interest therein or part, portion or aspect thereof). CSRA covenants, and agrees to cause all CSRA Subsidiaries and require all other sublicensees to covenant, to take no action or commit any omission that would reasonably be expected to be adverse to CSC’s sole and exclusive ownership of all right (including all Intellectual Property Rights), title and interest in and to the CSC Proprietary Items and shall not (i) apply to register or cooperate in any effort by any Third Party to register any right (including any Intellectual Property Rights), title or interest in or to any CSC Proprietary Items anywhere in the world in connection with any products or services, (ii) challenge or participate in any challenge or diminution of CSC’s rights (including any Intellectual Property Rights) in the CSC Proprietary Items, or (iii) do anything else inconsistent with CSC’s rights (including any Intellectual Property Rights) in the CSC Proprietary Items. If, contrary to the intent of the Parties, it should occur that CSRA has any rights of ownership in the CSC Proprietary Items, CSRA hereby agrees, at any time upon the written request of CSC, to assign and to sell for ten dollars (US$10.00) to CSC any and all such rights of ownership as well as the entire right, title and interest to any such right (including any attendant goodwill), and CSRA agrees that it has not entered and shall not enter into any agreement with any Third Party, including any CSRA Subsidiaries or other sublicensees, or otherwise take or fail to take any action, that would prevent such assignment and sale. CSRA shall promptly upon request by CSC execute, without additional consideration, any assignment or other document that may be reasonably necessary or appropriate for CSC to purchase, take assignment or perfect its ownership interest or to memorialize, record or otherwise denote or demonstrate ownership by CSC of all right (including all Intellectual Property Rights), title and interest in and to any CSC Proprietary Items. |
(b) | CSC shall be responsible, at CSC’s own expense, for, and shall make all decisions concerning, the preparation, filing, registration, prosecution, renewal, enforcement and maintenance of any Intellectual Property Rights in or covering any CSC Proprietary Item. CSRA agrees to, and agrees to cause all CSRA Subsidiaries and require all other sublicensees to, cooperate fully with, and provide reasonable assistance to, CSC in respect thereof, at CSC’s own expense. |
(c) | In order to assign title to CSC in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, CSRA shall take all actions reasonably required to obtain title to inventions made in the performance of a Customer Contract, including providing timely notice to the Customer under such Customer Contract and electing to take title. CSRA shall seek an advance waiver of any Governmental Entity’s right to take title in those instances where such requests are required or permitted. |
(d) | Unless CSC has provided its express, prior written consent (in accordance with CSC’s internal delegation of authority policy and procedures), CSRA shall not enter into any Customer Contract that includes FAR Clause 52.227-17, “Rights in Data - Special Works” or Department of Defense FAR Supplement Cause 252.227-7020, “Rights in Special Works,” or any other similar provision that grants any Governmental Entity a right to title to any CSC Proprietary Item. |
(e) | CSRA shall set forth in written agreements with any sublicensee all applicable restrictions and obligations regarding CSC Proprietary Items as set forth in this Agreement. CSRA shall not grant any right to or fail |
14 |
to require any obligation from any permitted sublicensee that is inconsistent with the terms and conditions of this Agreement or reduces or eliminates protections of CSC Proprietary Items or CSC’s ownership of CSC Proprietary Items as set forth herein. CSRA shall expressly identify CSC as a third party beneficiary in all written agreements with any sublicensee.
(f) | CSRA shall set forth in written agreements with any Contractor all applicable restrictions and obligations regarding such Licensed Product or the Applicable Licensed Product Items as set forth in this Agreement. |
2.8 | Enforcement Actions |
CSRA agrees to notify CSC in writing, as promptly as reasonably practicable, of any actual, threatened or alleged infringement, challenge, misappropriation, claim, impairment or violation of any Intellectual Property Rights relating to the Licensed Products, Licensed Know-How or Licensed Marks that comes to the attention of CSRA or a CSRA Subsidiary. CSC shall have sole and exclusive authority and discretion to take such legal action as it deems appropriate and control any dispute, claim, litigation, United States Patent and Trademark Office or other U.S. or foreign governmental or administrative proceeding, or other action arising out of any actual or alleged infringement, challenge, misappropriation, claim, impairment or violation of any Intellectual Property Rights relating to the CSC Proprietary Items and including any brought by a Third Party (an “Enforcement Action”). Unless the Parties otherwise agree, all costs and expenses related to an Enforcement Action shall be borne by CSC, and CSC shall be entitled to all monetary damages, fines, settlement payments, costs, attorneys’ fees, and other amounts (“Recoveries”) awarded to CSC as a direct result of an Enforcement Action. CSRA shall, and if requested by CSC cause CSRA Subsidiaries and any sublicensees to, at CSC’s expense, cooperate fully and promptly with CSC with respect to such Enforcement Action, in such manner and to such extent as CSC may reasonably request, including joining such Enforcement Action as a party. Nothing herein shall be construed as requiring CSC to take any action to bring or defend any Enforcement Action or to indemnify or hold harmless CSRA, CSRA Subsidiaries, or any sublicensees in connection therewith. During the Initial Term, in the event CSC provides written notice or confirmation to CSRA that it determines not to bring an Enforcement Action, CSRA may, with the prior written consent of CSC (which consent may be withheld by CSC for any reason in its sole discretion), bring an Enforcement Action with respect to any violation of the Licensed Products, Licensed Know-How or Licensed Marks that CSRA reasonably believes would have a material and adverse effect on its business; provided, however, that CSRA shall not compromise or settle any Enforcement Action without the prior written consent of CSC; provided, further that CSRA shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless (at CSRA’s sole cost and expense) CSC for any losses of CSC arising from or relating to such Enforcement Action brought by CSRA without CSC’s prior written consent, including, for the avoidance of doubt, any losses arising from any counterclaim to such Enforcement Action. Unless the Parties otherwise agree, all costs and expenses related to an Enforcement Action brought by CSRA shall be borne by CSRA and any Recoveries awarded to CSRA as a direct result of an Enforcement Action brought by CSRA shall belong to CSRA. CSC shall, if reasonably requested by CSRA and at CSRA’ expense, provide and cause its controlled Affiliates to provide reasonable cooperation with respect to any such Enforcement Action. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing herein shall be construed as requiring CSC to join as a party any Enforcement Action brought by CSRA.

(e) | CSRA shall not, and agrees to cause CSRA Subsidiaries to not, directly or indirectly, violate any applicable Laws or regulations in exercising any rights provided by or performed under this Agreement. |
2.10 | Compliance with Third Party Licenses |
CSRA shall comply with the terms of the license agreements governing Third Party vendor materials incorporated into any of the Licensed Products or Licensed Product Items as and to the extent CSC so notifies CSRA in writing from time to time. None of the licenses or rights to sublicense granted hereby include any license to or right to sublicense the Intellectual Property Rights of any Third Party, unless and only to the extent CSC is authorized to provide such license or right to sublicense to CSRA. CSRA acknowledges and agrees that CSRA shall seek any license to or right to sublicense any Intellectual Property Rights of a Third Party in the CSC Proprietary Items from such Third Party. CSRA shall comply with any requirements set forth in the Reseller Agreement relating to the Intellectual Property Rights of any Third Party in CSC Agility or the Applicable Licensed Product Items.

In addition, Reseller shall either (i) include in its Reseller End User Agreements the right of CSC to audit the End User to verify compliance with the User Terms and Reseller’s compliance with this Agreement, or (ii) at the request of CSC, and at Reseller’s expense, perform an audit of its End User(s) using a mutually-agreed-upon third party auditor and parameters agreed-upon by CSC and provide CSC with a copy of the auditor’s report. All such audits shall be conducted at mutually agreeable times, during normal business hours and subject to CSC providing reasonable prior notice to Reseller. |

Except as provided herein, neither party shall make any media release or public announcements relating to these terms or its subject matter without the prior written consent of the other, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. |
24.2 | The Parties shall coordinate all publicity relating to the transactions including press releases, if any, contemplated by this Agreement and no Party shall issue any press release, publicity statement or other public notice relating to this Agreement, or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, without consulting with and obtaining the consent of the other Party, including allowing the other Party reasonable time to comment on such release, statement or other notice. |
25.0 | Dispute Resolution |

28.0 | Governing Law |
28.1 | The validity, interpretation, and enforcement of this Agreement as well as any disputes related to its subject matter, whether arising out of contract, warranty, strict liability, tort, equity, or otherwise shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its conflict of law rules. CSC and Reseller elect not to be bound by the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. |
28.2 | Reseller agrees that CSC may be irreparably harmed by the breach of the license for the Licensed Software by Reseller or End User, and that any remedy at law or in damages may be inadequate. Reseller therefore agrees that notwithstanding anything to the contrary in Section 25 of this Agreement, in addition to any other remedies available at law or in equity, CSC may seek an injunction to prevent or stop such breach. If a court of competent jurisdiction finds that Reseller or an End User has breached (or attempted or threatened to breach) the license for the Licensed Software, Reseller agrees that, without any additional findings of irreparable injury or other conditions to injunctive relief, it shall not oppose the entry of an appropriate order compelling performance (including enforcing any applicable Reseller End User Agreement) by the Reseller or End User and restraining Reseller or End User from any further breaches (or attempted or threatened breaches). |
29.0 | Force Majeure |
Neither Party shall be liable to the other for delays or failures in performance resulting from causes beyond the reasonable control of that Party, including acts of God; acts of government or its agencies, including laws, regulations, and judicial action; strikes or other labor disputes or disturbances; power disruptions, including power rationing; riots or civil disturbances; acts of war; or communication, utility or transportation failures, or failure of supply. The obligation of the Party unable to perform, as set forth in this Section 29.0 (the “Affected Party”) shall be suspended, and non-performance shall be excused, during such force majeure event, subject to the Affected Party’s compliance with the following: The Affected Party shall (i) give the other Party written notice of its inability to perform and a description, in reasonable detail, of the cause of the inability; (ii) will use diligent efforts to remedy the situation and remove, so far as is commercially reasonable and as soon as practicable, the cause of such inability; and (iii) give the other Party prompt notice of the cessation of the event of force majeure. In the event that the Affected Party is unable to overcome the force majeure event, and resume performance in accordance with the other terms of this Agreement, within two (2) months of the occurrence of the event, each Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement by providing written notice of termination to the other.
30.0 | General Provisions |
30.1 | This Agreement may not be assigned by Reseller, whether by operation of law or otherwise, to any other person, firm or entity without the express written consent of CSC. |
30.2 | Each Party is acting as an independent contractor and not as an agent, partner, franchisor, franchisee, or joint venturer with the other party for any purpose. Neither party shall have any right, power, or authority to act or to create any obligation, express or implied, on behalf of the other. |
30.3 | No supplement, modification or amendment of this Agreement shall be binding, unless executed in writing by a duly authorized representative of each Party. |
50 |
30.4 | Each provision of this Agreement is severable from the entire Agreement, and in the event that any provision is declared invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be amended if possible to be enforceable, but in any event, the remaining provisions hereof shall remain in effect. |
30.5 | No waiver by either party of any default shall operate as a waiver of any other default or of a similar default on a future occasion. No waiver of any term or condition shall be effective unless in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the waiver is sought. |
30.6 | The rights and remedies provided in this Agreement are cumulative with and unless expressly stated in this Agreement, do not exclude any rights and remedies provided by law or equity. |
30.7 | This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which taken together shall constitute one single Agreement between the Parties. The Parties agree that this Agreement may be executed by facsimile transmission or other electronic means and that the reproduction of signatures by facsimile, other electronic means or similar device shall be treated as binding as if originals and each Party agrees and undertakes to provide the other Party with a copy of the Agreement bearing original signatures forthwith upon demand by the other Party. |
30.8 | This Agreement, together with the IP Matters Agreement and the Master Separation and Distribution Agreement, constitutes the complete and entire agreement of the Parties and supersedes all previous communications, oral or written, and all other communications between them relating to the subject matter hereof. The terms and conditions of this Agreement shall supersede any terms and conditions of any purchase orders or other ordering documents or acknowledgement given or received that are additional to or inconsistent with this Agreement. No representations or statements of any kind made by either Party, which are not expressly stated herein, shall be binding on such Party. |

55 |
When included in a Reseller End User Agreement, Reseller must replace “CSC” with “Reseller”; however, the name of the Software, i.e. “CSC Agility Platform”, and the use of “CSC and CSC’s licensors” in Section 25 shall remain as written below.
CSC Agility Platform End User Terms
As used below, “Agreement” shall mean these CSC Agility Platform End User Terms together with the applicable Order for CSC Agility Platform. “ ”, “You”, “Customer” or “Your” shall mean only excluding any Affiliates.
1. DEFINITION OF SOFTWARE. For purposes of this Agreement, the “Software” means the current generally available version of CSC Agility Platform, including any specified Agility Cloud Adapters and any software from third party licensors distributed with the Software (the “Software”), together with any related user manuals and product documentation provided or made available to You (“Documentation”).

For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing restriction is not intended to restrict Your right to allow third parties to access the Virtual Machines, or the associated applications and data, that are managed by the Software. You agree not to copy the Software, in whole or in part, nor permit anyone else to copy the Software, except that You may make a reasonable number of copies of the Software and Documentation for customary backup and archival purposes.

You agree to treat the Software, excluding any third party software, as CSC’s proprietary information and treat any third party software included with the Software as the respective third licensor’s proprietary information. You will take all reasonable steps to protect the Software from disclosure to or use by any unauthorized third party. Use, duplication or disclosure by or on behalf of the United States Federal Government is subject to the restrictions set forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer Software Clause of DFARS 227.7202-1 and in FAR Clause 52.227-19, or any superseding provisions.

9. OPEN SOURCE. Certain items included with the Software are subject to “open source” or “free software” licenses (“Open Source Software”). The Open Source Software is not subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Instead, each item of Open Source Software is licensed under the terms of the end user license that accompanies such Open Source Software. Nothing in this Agreement limits Your rights under, or grants You rights that supersede, the terms and conditions of any applicable end user license for the Open Source Software. A complete list of Open Source Software and each associated license is provided in the Documentation or available by written request to CSC via mail or email. If required by an Open Source Software license, CSC (a) makes the distributed files, and, if applicable, CSC’s modifications to the Open Source Software available in accordance with the license requirement, and/or (b) makes the instructions for replacement of that Open Source Software available. The effect and/or impact of such replacement cannot be reasonably foreseen, and consequently cannot be supported by CSC. If You use Open Source Software in conjunction with the Software, You must ensure that Your use does not: (i) create, or purport to create, obligations of CSC or any of its third party licensors; or (ii) grant, or purport to grant, to any third party any rights to or immunities under CSC’s or any third party licensor’s intellectual property or proprietary rights.
10. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER.
A. Warranty. CSC represents, warrants and covenants to You that (i) to the extent within CSC’s control, the unmodified Software, as of the date delivered to you in accordance with this Agreement, will be free from any computer code or other technology specifically designed to disrupt, disable, harm or otherwise impede in any manner, any other software, hardware, computer system or network (sometimes referred to as “malware,” “viruses” or “worms”), and (ii) the Media is and will be free from defects in materials and workmanship under normal business use. CSC further represents, warrants and covenants that any Maintenance and Support services performed by CSC pursuant to this Agreement (the “Services”) will be performed in a good and workmanlike manner by appropriately qualified and trained personnel. If the Software, the Media or the Services (as applicable) fails to fulfill or is not in compliance with one or more of the warranties set forth in this Section 10(A), then You shall inform CSC in writing and provide to CSC such information and materials as CSC may reasonably request to document and reproduce such noncompliance. Such information may include, if and to the extent applicable, a written explanation of the problem with the Software, the Media, the Services or other noncompliance, as applicable, a written description of the operating environment and (if permitted) a copy of any software program used with the Software. As Your sole and exclusive remedy, CSC shall modify the Software or replace the Software with other software offering comparable functionality or replace the defective Media (or, if applicable, re-perform the Services), in each case as may be necessary to cause the Software, the Media or the Services (as applicable) to fulfill and be in compliance with the warranties set forth in this Section 10(A). CSC shall have no responsibility if the Software has been altered in any way, if the Media has been damaged by misuse, accident, abuse, modification or misapplication, or if the failure arises out of use of the Software with other than a recommended hardware configuration. Any such misuse, accident, abuse, modification or misapplication of the Software and/or Media will void the warranty above.
B. DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE IS OFFERED “AS IS,” AND YOU RECEIVE NO WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED OR OTHERWISE. CSC AND ITS LICENSORS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. CSC AND ITS LICENSORS DO NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE OR THAT IT WILL FUNCTION OR OPERATE IN CONJUNCTION WITH ANY OTHER PRODUCT, SOFTWARE OR HARDWARE, OR THAT IT WILL NOT CAUSE ANY LOSS OR CORRUPTION OF DATA.
57 |
11. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
A. NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CSC AND ITS LICENSORS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING FOR THE INDIRECT LOSS OF PROFIT, REVENUE OR CONTENT) ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, HOWEVER CAUSED, AND UNDER WHATEVER CAUSE OF ACTION OR THEORY OF LIABILITY BROUGHT (INCLUDING UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR OTHER TORT THEORY OF LIABILITY) EVEN IF CSC HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
B. LIMITATION OF DAMAGES. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, CSC’S CUMULATIVE, AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY DAMAGES SHALL NOT EXCEED THE FEES PAID BY YOU TO CSC DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRECEDING THE CLAIM GIVING RISE TO SUCH LIABILITY.
C. EXCEPTIONS. The exclusions and limitations of liability in this Section 11 will not apply to (i) CSC’s breach of Section 12 (Indemnification) or to any amounts paid or payable in connection with such obligations, and (ii) CSC’s breach of Section 13 (Confidentiality).
12. INDEMNIFICATION.
A. Indemnity. CSC agrees to defend and hold You harmless from and against any liability, damage, loss or expense (including reasonable attorneys’ fees and expenses of litigation) (collectively, “Losses”) incurred by or imposed upon You in connection with any third party claim, action or proceeding (a “Claim”) that the Software as made available to You by CSC infringes any patent, copyright or trademark or misappropriates any trade secret. You agree to defend and hold CSC, its third party licensors, its affiliates and its and their directors, officers, employees and agents and its and their respective successors, heirs and assigns (the “CSC Parties”) harmless from and against any Losses incurred by or imposed upon the CSC Parties or any of them in connection with any Claim arising from or in connection with (a) any breach of this Agreement by You or (b) your Use of the Software. The Party requesting indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnified Party”) will (i) provide the Party providing indemnification hereunder (the “Indemnifying Party”) with prompt notice of any such Claim (provided, however, that failure to do so shall not relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations hereunder except to the extent of any material prejudice to the Indemnifying Party as a direct result of such failure); (ii) permit the Indemnifying Party to assume and control the defense of such action upon the Indemnifying Party’s written notice to the Indemnified Party of its intention to indemnify; and (iii) upon the Indemnifying Party’s written request, provide to the Indemnifying Party all available information and assistance reasonably necessary for the Indemnifying Party to defend such Claim. The Indemnified Party shall have the right, at its sole cost and expense, to participate in the defense and settlement of any such Claim with counsel of its choice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, CSC shall have no obligation to indemnify You to the extent that any Claim arises from (a) Your use of the Software in contravention of this Agreement or the Documentation; (b) the combination or use of the Software with any other services, technology, content or material that were not provided by CSC; (c) the modification of the Software by anyone other than CSC; or (d) Your use of the Software after You reasonably could have implemented a non-infringing alternative pursuant to Section 12(B)(i) or (ii).
B. Right to Ameliorate Damages. In the event that a court of competent jurisdiction determines or in the event that CSC, in its sole discretion, reasonably determines, that the Software, or any portion thereof, infringes or misappropriates, or may infringe or misappropriate, any third-party intellectual property right, CSC shall, as Your sole and exclusive remedy (but without limitation of CSC’s obligations under Section 12(A)), and at CSC’s sole discretion, either: (i) modify the Software while retaining substantively equivalent functionality; or (ii) replace the affected Software with functionally equivalent software or services.
13. CONFIDENTIALITY. Each party (a “Receiving Party”) understands that the other party (the “Disclosing Party”) may disclose information of a confidential nature including, without limitation, the Software, product information, data, pricing, financial information, end user information, software, specifications, research and development and proprietary algorithms or other materials that is (a) clearly and conspicuously marked as “confidential” or with a similar designation or (b) is disclosed in a manner in which the Disclosing Party reasonably communicated, or the Receiving Party should reasonably have understood under the circumstances, that the disclosure should be treated as confidential, whether or not the specific designation “confidential” or any similar designation is used (“Confidential Information”). The terms and conditions of this Agreement also constitute Confidential Information of each party. The Receiving Party agrees, for itself and its agents and employees, that it will not publish, disclose or otherwise divulge or use for its own purposes (other than as expressly permitted under this Agreement) any Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party furnished to it by such Disclosing Party without the prior written approval of the Disclosing Party in each instance. Each party will use at least the same level of care to maintain the Confidential Information of the other party as it uses to maintain the confidentiality of its own non-public information, and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. The foregoing obligations shall not extend to any information to the extent that the Receiving Party can demonstrate that such information (i) was at the time of disclosure or, to the extent that such information thereafter becomes through no fault of the Receiving Party, public knowledge; (ii) was already properly and lawfully in the Receiving Party’s possession at the time it was received by the Receiving Party free from any obligation of confidentiality, (iii) was lawfully received by the Receiving Party from a third
