Borrower hereby covenants and agrees that Borrower will NOT register with the United States Copyright Office (or apply for such registration of) any of Borrower’s maskworks, computer software, or other copyrights, unless Borrower has provided Lender not less than 30 days prior written notice of the commencement of such registration/application and Borrower has executed and delivered to Lender such security agreement(s) and other documentation (in form and substance reasonably satisfactory to Lender) which Lender in its good faith business judgment may require for filing with the United States Copyright Office with respect to such registration or application.

Patents and Trademarks The Company and the Subsidiaries have, or have rights to use, all patents, patent applications, trademarks, trademark applications, service marks, trade names, trade secrets, inventions, copyrights, licenses and other intellectual property rights and similar rights necessary or material for use in connection with their respective businesses as described in the SEC Reports and which the failure to so have could have a Material Adverse Effect (collectively, the “Intellectual Property Rights”). Neither the Company nor any Subsidiary has received a notice (written or otherwise) that any of the Intellectual Property Rights used by the Company or any Subsidiary violates or infringes upon the rights of any Person. To the knowledge of the Company, all such Intellectual Property Rights are enforceable and there is no existing infringement by another Person of any of the Intellectual Property Rights. The Company and its Subsidiaries have taken reasonable security measures to protect the secrecy, confidentiality and value of all of their intellectual properties, except where failure to do so could not, individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.
Copyrights, Patents, Trademarks and Licenses, etc The Company and each Subsidiary own or are licensed or otherwise have the right to use all of the material patents, trademarks, service marks, trade names, copyrights, contractual franchises, authorizations and other rights that are reasonably necessary for the operation of their respective businesses, without material conflict with the rights of any other Person. To the best knowledge of the Company, no slogan or other advertising device, product, process, method, substance, part or other material now employed, or now contemplated to be employed, by the Company or any Subsidiary infringes upon any rights held by any other Person. Except as specifically disclosed in Schedule 6.5, no claim or litigation regarding any of the foregoing is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, threatened, and no patent, invention, device, application, principle or any statute, law, rule, regulation, standard or code is pending or, to the knowledge of the Company, proposed, which, in either case, would reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

Recipients are subject to the specific requirements governing the development, reporting, and disposition of rights to inventions and patents resulting from federal financial assistance awards located at 37 C.F.R.

Intellectual Property Claims Borrower is the sole owner of, or otherwise has the right to use, the Intellectual Property. Except as described on Schedule 5.9,(i) each of the material Copyrights, Trademarks and Patents is valid and enforceable, (ii) no material part of the Intellectual Property has been judged invalid or unenforceable, in whole or in part, and (iii) no claim has been made to Borrower that any material part of the Intellectual Property violates the rights of any third party. Exhibit D is a true, correct and complete list of each of Borrower’s Patents, registered Trademarks, registered Copyrights, and material agreements under which Borrower licenses Intellectual Property from third parties (other than shrink-wrap software licenses), together with application or registration numbers, as applicable, owned by Borrower or any Subsidiary, in each case as of the Closing Date. Borrower is not in material breach of, nor has Borrower failed to perform any material obligations under, any of the foregoing contracts, licenses or agreements and, to Borrower’s knowledge, no third party to any such contract, license or agreement is in material breach thereof or has failed to perform any material obligations thereunder.
Intellectual Property Infringement If a third party makes a claim against Customer that the Licensed Software or Documentation directly infringe any patent issued as of the two years following the Effective Date or any copyright, trade secret or trademark ("IP Claim"); Siebel will defend Customer or Distributor against the IP Claim and pay all costs, damages and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) awarded against Customer or Distributor by a court of competent jurisdiction or agreed to in a written settlement agreement signed by Siebel arising out of such IP Claim; provided that: (i) Customer or Distributor promptly notifies Siebel in writing no later than sixty (60) days after Customer's or Distributor's receipt of notification of a potential claim, (ii) Siebel may assume sole control of the defense of such claim and all related settlement negotiations; and (iii) Customer or Distributor provides Siebel, at Siebel's request and expense, with the assistance, information and authority necessary to perform Siebel's obligations under this Section. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Siebel shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based on (a) the use of a superseded or altered release of Licensed Software if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of a current unaltered release of the Licensed Software, which Siebel provided to Distributor, (b) the modification of the Licensed Software, or (c) the use of the Licensed Software other than in accordance with the Documentation. If, due to an IP Claim, (i) the Licensed Software is held by a court of competent jurisdiction or are believed by Siebel to infringe, or (ii) Customer or Distributor receives a valid court order enjoining Customer or Distributor from using the Licensed Software, Siebel shall in its reasonable judgment, and at its expense, (a) replace or modify the Licensed Software to be non-infringing; (b) obtain for Distributor and/or its Customers a license to continue using the Licensed Software, or (c) if Siebel cannot reasonably obtain the remedies in (a) or (b), terminate the license for the infringing Licensed Software and refund the license fees paid to Siebel for such Licensed Software upon its return by Distributor. This Section 9 states Siebel's entire liability and Distributor's exclusive remedy for any claim of infringement.
Trademarks, Patents Each of the Borrower and the Subsidiaries possesses or has the right to use all of the patents, trademarks, trade names, service marks and copyrights, and applications therefor, and all technology, know-how, processes, methods and designs used in or necessary for the conduct of its business, without known conflict with the rights of others.
