IV. | PRICES, PAYMENTS, AUDIT AND ORDER PROCEDURE |
1. Tax Issues and Other Fees for Licensed Product(s) as Service Provider. The prices for the Licensed Products, and, therefore Payments, do not include any state or federal (U.S. or foreign government) taxes or fees. Brightmail is responsible for any and all such Payments due to Symantec and any and all taxes and fees imposed upon Brightmail. Except for Symantec’s income taxes, Brightmail agrees to pay any and all sales, use, value added, withholding, excise and similar taxes on Payments under this Agreement (the “Taxes”). Symantec will be responsible for its own income tax and fee obligations. If Brightmail claims an exemption from Taxes, Brightmail will provide to Symantec an acceptable copy of all documentation showing the legal exemption from such Taxes. If a foreign government requires Brightmail to withhold Taxes on Payments to Symantec, then Brightmail must: 1) provide Symantec with official receipts for reflecting the actual amount of Taxes withheld, which are adequate to meet the needs of Symantec, in order for Symantec to receive credit for such Taxes paid; and 2) minimize withholdings to the extent possible. The minimization requirement is to protect Symantec’s exposure to the limitation imposed by the Irish Commissioners of Revenue for such credit.

Further, if any Authorized Sublicensee has any concerns about compliance, Brightmail should inform them that they may contact Symantec’s Legal Department directly to obtain review and approval. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Brightmail and its Authorized Sublicensees may do general marketing using common industry descriptive words that indicate the existence of virus detection, but which are general references to the Service and/or BMI Service and do not mention or otherwise reference the components, features or technical aspects of the Licensed Products, such as, but not limited to, “Internet services with virus detection”, “e-mail virus scanning”, “e-mail virus filter services” and/or “e-mail protection and such others as fall within the foregoing requirements, without including the Symantec logos and trademarks, as required above.

Brightmail shall contractually require its Authorized Sublicensees to comply with all of the foregoing obligations and name Symantec as a third party beneficiary of the contracts it enters into with Authorized Sublicensee. Symantec shall solely control all litigation matters and related decisions, and be responsible for such costs, in regards to the subject matter of this provision.

e. Obligation to Use Most Current Version of Licensed Product. Brightmail acknowledges that Symantec may, from time to time, release updated versions of the Licensed Product. Brightmail covenants and agrees, within thirty (30) days after written notification by Symantec of the release of any such updated version for the operating platform(s) utilized by Brightmail, to upgrade to, and use exclusively, the updated version of the Licensed Product in its BMI Product to provide the BMI Service and provide the updated BMI Product to the Resellers. Brightmail will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify and request its Authorized Sublicensees to use the latest version of the Licensed Product as it is incorporated into the BMI Product. Brightmail acknowledges that it understands that support services are only available to customers of Symantec who have purchased support and are on a particular version of the Licensed Product for a time period of one (1) full year after the date of the next “Major Release” which is defined as any new version of the Licensed Product that contains features or capabilities that are different from the current version (typically denoted with a new version number in front of the decimal point such as 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, or a year number such as 2001, 2002, 2003 but it could be designated otherwise) as opposed to an in-line update or modification or patch that is designed only to improve the current version of the Licensed Product, and that Symantec licenses to its licensees and customers generally for a fee as opposed to the free update, modification or patch. Brightmail agrees that the support services will end one (1) year after the next Major Release of the Licensed Product and thereafter in order to obtain support services, Brightmail must upgrade to the most current version of the Licensed Product, (i.e. the Major Release) as outlined above.
f. Obligation to Update.

IF SYMANTEC HAS PROVIDED IN ADVANCE ANY BETA OR OTHER TEST VERSIONS OF THE LICENSED PRODUCT TO BRIGHTMAIL AND HAS NOT AUTHORIZED BRIGHTMAIL TO RELEASE SUCH AS FINAL LICENSED PRODUCT, THEN THIS WARRANTY IS VOID IF BRIGHTMAIL RELEASES ANY BMI PRODUCT CONTAINING SUCH LICENSED PRODUCT THAT SYMANTEC HAS NOT GENERALLY AND PUBLICLY RELEASED TO ITS OTHER CUSTOMERS. SYMANTEC MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT ALL ERRORS OR FAILURES WILL BE CORRECTED.
b. Limited Liability. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, THE LICENSED PRODUCT AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED “AS IS” AND WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND.

(A) Indemnification by Symantec. Notwithstanding anything contained herein to the contrary, Symantec hereby indemnifies, defends, and holds Brightmail and its officers, employees, board members, and contractors harmless from and against any and all third party claims, actions, or demands alleging that the Licensed Product and/or any update provided by Symantec infringes any patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or other intellectual property right of any third party. Subject to Symantec receiving prompt written notice from Brightmail of any actual or threatened claim, and further subject to Brightmail providing Symantec with complete control of the settlement and defense thereof, Symantec shall pay resulting costs, damage awards, legal fees finally awarded, and any settlement amounts in such actions which are attributable to such claims.

In addition, should the Licensed Product become, or is likely to become, in Symantec’s reasonable opinion, exercising sound commercial judgment, the subject of a claim of intellectual property infringement then Brightmail shall permit Symantec to replace or modify the Licensed Product so as to avoid infringement, or to procure the right for Brightmail to continue use of such items. If neither of such alternatives is reasonably possible, the infringing items shall be returned to Symantec and Symantec shall refund to Brightmail all amounts paid by Brightmail in excess of actual usage.
(B) Indemnification by Brightmail.

Subject to Brightmail receiving prompt written notice from Symantec of any actual or threatened claim, and further subject to Symantec providing Brightmail with complete control of the settlement and defense thereof, Brightmail shall pay resulting costs, damage awards, legal fees finally awarded, and any settlement amounts in such actions which are attributable to such claims.

6. Termination.
a. For Cause Termination. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time in the event that the other Party fails to perform any obligation, warranty, duty or responsibility or is in default with respect to any term or condition under this Agreement and such failure or default continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days (fifteen (15)) days in case of failure to make Payment) after notice of failure or default from the other Party (a “For Cause Termination”) which termination shall be effective immediately after the time period to cure the default as set forth in this section has expired if the nonbreaching party has affirmatively elected to terminate the Agreement. If the resolution of the breach requires more than thirty (30) days, the breaching Party may request the other Party for additional time to remedy the breach, and both Parties agree to discuss such an extension in good faith.
b. Automatic Termination. This Agreement terminates automatically, with no further act or action of either Party, if a receiver is appointed for either Party or over either Party’s property, either Party makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, any proceedings are commenced by, for or against either Party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor’s relief law, or either Party is liquidated or dissolved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Brightmail is reorganizing its entity under the bankruptcy laws and is not in breach of this Agreement, the Agreement shall not automatically terminate. If Brightmail has any change in the management or control of, or any transfer of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Brightmail’s voting control or a transfer of substantially all its assets to a competitor of Symantec, which Symantec determines in it sole discretion is a competitor, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date of a notice by Symantec of such decision as provided in writing by Symantec to Brightmail. The foregoing shall be referred to hereafter as “Automatic Termination”.
c. Disruption to Symantec’s Small Business Revenue. Symantec may terminate the Agreement, but not sooner than six (6) months from the Effective Date, if Symantec determines in its sole discretion, that Brightmail has entered into any agreement that disrupts Symantec’s anti virus small business revenue.
d. Effect of Termination.
(i) Effect on Payments and Licenses. Upon any termination of any kind and any expiration of the Term, no refunds of Payments due and/or Minimum Commitment Payments will be made to Brightmail. Further, the license granted under this Agreement to use the Licensed Product and the Documentation is immediately revoked other than subject to any applicable Run Off Periods.
(ii) Obligations of Brightmail as to Licensed Products. Brightmail, within ten (10) days, shall, at Symantec’s option, either destroy all licensed copies of the Licensed Product and Documentation, and all backups, or return them to Symantec, and certify in writing by an authorized officer of Brightmail that all copies have been destroyed and/or returned. In each instance where Brightmail has distributed the Licensed Product and/or Documentation to Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers, then Brightmail shall contractually require and enforce the requirement that the Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers destroy the Licensed Product and Documentation, and all backups, or return them to Brightmail, and certify in writing by an authorized officer of Brightmail that all copies have been destroyed and/or returned and/or that Brightmail has by way of its technology effectively prevented all further use of the Licensed Product. This obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
17
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
(iii) Outstanding Invoices. The due dates of all outstanding invoices to Brightmail for Licensed Product(s) automatically will be accelerated if the termination is based on a For Cause Termination caused by Brightmail or an Automatic Termination triggered by conduct of Brightmail, so they become due and payable by immediate wire transfer on the effective date of termination or expiration, even if longer terms had been provided previously, except in the case that Symantec terminates for any disruption to its small business revenue pursuant to the terms set forth under Section X.6.c.
(iv) Cease Use of Marks and Run Off Period. Brightmail will forthwith cease, and cause each of its Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers to also cease, all use of all Symantec trademarks, and will not thereafter use any xxxx which is confusingly similar to any trademark associated with any Licensed Product(s) with the BMI Products or BMI Service or any other products or services and contractually require the Authorized Sublicensees to do the same and also with regard to its Service and enforce the same on Symantec’s behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Term of this Agreement expires and is not renewed, or there is any termination other than (i) an Automatic Termination for bankruptcy only or (ii) a For Cause Termination caused by Brightmail, then and only then, pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Section, Brightmail may continue for up to three (3) months after termination of this Agreement to sublicense the Licensed Product under existing agreements with Authorized Sublicensees and conditioned on the continuation of Brightmail making any Payments due to Symantec for such period of additional time, per the terms of this Agreement (the “Run Off Period”). The foregoing Run Off Period applies only if Symantec is able to deliver a functional Licensed Product and related virus definitions which shall mean for purposes of this Agreement, that the Licensed Product and the delivery of virus definitions meet the special warranty provisions set forth in this Agreement. So provided that a functional Licensed Product and virus definitions are available and Payments are current, and that no other breaches of the Agreement exist, Symantec agrees that the Run Off Period is automatically extended for another three (3) months unless Brightmail indicates it no longer needs the Run Off Period. Thereafter, given the same conditions are met again, in that a functional Licensed Product and virus definitions are available, Payments are current, and no other breach of the Agreement exists, then Symantec agrees that the Run Off Period automatically renews for yet another three (3) months, providing no more than a total of nine (9) months of Run Off Period unless Brightmail indicates it no longer needs the Run Off Period. Brightmail agrees that support is only available in any Run Off Period to Brightmail if Symantec is then supporting the Licensed Product and Brightmail is current on its support payments, if any. Brightmail agrees that the Payment obligations continue to apply to all Run Off Periods. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Licensed Product will be promptly destroyed by Brightmail, if so approved in writing by Symantec and Brightmail will then will certify to Symantec in writing the destruction of such Licensed Product in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in writing pursuant to which Symantec so approved such destruction. If Symantec does not approve destruction, Brightmail must return the Licensed Product at its own expense.
e. Limitation of Liability for Termination. Symantec shall not be liable to Brightmail on account of termination or expiration of this Agreement for reimbursement or damages for loss of goodwill, prospective profits or anticipated orders, or on account of any expenditures, investments, leases or commitments made by Brightmail based upon or growing out of such termination or expiration. Brightmail acknowledges and agrees that; (i) Brightmail has no expectation and has received no assurances that its business relationship with Symantec will continue beyond the stated Term of this Agreement or its earlier termination in accordance with this clause other than for any applicable Run Off Periods, that any investment by Brightmail in the promotion of the BMI Service, BMI Products or the Licensed Products will be recovered or recouped, or that Brightmail shall obtain any anticipated amount of profits by virtue of this Agreement; and (ii) Brightmail shall not have or acquire by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise any vested, proprietary or
18
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
other right in the promotion of the BMI Service or in any goodwill created by its efforts hereunder. The Parties acknowledge that this clause has been included as a material inducement for Symantec to enter into this Agreement and that Symantec would not have entered into this Agreement but for the limitations of liability as set forth herein.
9. Survival of Warranties and Covenants.
The warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, which by their nature should survive the termination of this Agreement, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.
10. Relationship of the Parties.
Brightmail is a customer of Symantec, and will not have, and will not represent that it has, any power, right or authority to bind Symantec, or to assume or create any obligation or responsibility express or implied, on behalf of Symantec or in Symantec’s name.

XIV. | PRICES, PAYMENTS, AUDIT AND ORDER PROCEDURE |
1. Tax Issues and Other Fees for Licensed Product(s) as Service Provider.

Except for Symantec’s income taxes, Brightmail agrees to pay any and all sales, use, value added, withholding, excise and similar taxes on Payments under this Agreement (the “Taxes”). Symantec will be responsible for its own income tax and fee obligations. If Brightmail claims an exemption from Taxes, Brightmail will provide to Symantec an acceptable copy of all documentation showing the legal exemption from such Taxes. If a foreign government requires Brightmail to withhold Taxes on Payments to Symantec, then Brightmail must: 1) provide Symantec with official receipts for reflecting the actual amount of Taxes withheld, which are adequate to meet the needs of Symantec, in order for Symantec to receive credit for such Taxes paid; and 2) minimize withholdings to the extent possible. The minimization requirement is to protect Symantec’s exposure to the limitation imposed by the Irish Commissioners of Revenue for such credit.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Brightmail and its Authorized Sublicensees may do general marketing using common industry descriptive words that indicate the existence of virus detection, but which are general references to the Service and/or BMI Service and do not mention or otherwise reference the components, features or technical aspects of the Licensed Products, such as, but not limited to, “Internet services with virus detection”, “e-mail virus scanning”, “e-mail virus filter services” and/or “e-mail protection and such others as fall within the foregoing requirements, without including the Symantec logos and trademarks, as required above.

Brightmail shall contractually require its Authorized Sublicensees to comply with all of the foregoing obligations and name Symantec as a third party beneficiary of the contracts it enters into with Authorized Sublicensee. Symantec shall solely control all litigation matters and related decisions, and be responsible for such costs, in regards to the subject matter of this provision.

Brightmail will use commercially reasonable efforts to notify and request its Authorized Sublicensees to use the latest version of the Licensed Product as it is incorporated into the BMI Product. Brightmail acknowledges that it understands that support services are only available to customers of Symantec who have purchased support and are on a particular version of the Licensed Product for a time period of one (1) full year after the date of the next “Major Release” which is defined as any new version of the Licensed Product that contains features or capabilities that are different from the current version (typically denoted with a new version number in front of the decimal point such as 5.0, 6.0, 7.0, or a year number such as 2001, 2002, 2003 but it could be designated otherwise) as opposed to an in-line update or modification or patch that is designed only to improve the current version of the Licensed Product, and that Symantec licenses to its licensees and customers generally for a fee as opposed to the free update, modification or patch.

In addition, should the Licensed Product become, or is likely to become, in Symantec’s reasonable opinion, exercising sound commercial judgment, the subject of a claim of intellectual property infringement then Brightmail shall permit Symantec to replace or modify the Licensed Product so as to avoid infringement, or to procure the right for Brightmail to continue use of such items. If neither of such alternatives is reasonably possible, the infringing items shall be returned to Symantec and Symantec shall refund to Brightmail all amounts paid by Brightmail in excess of actual usage.
(B) Indemnification by Brightmail.

6. Termination.
a. For Cause Termination. Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time in the event that the other Party fails to perform any obligation, warranty, duty or responsibility or is in default with respect to any term or condition under this Agreement and such failure or default continues unremedied for a period of thirty (30) days (fifteen (15)) days in case of failure to make Payment) after notice of failure or default from the other Party (a “For Cause Termination”) which termination shall be effective immediately after the time period to cure the default as set forth in this section has expired if the nonbreaching party has affirmatively elected to terminate the Agreement. If the resolution of the breach requires more than thirty (30) days, the breaching Party may request the other Party for additional time to remedy the breach, and both Parties agree to discuss such an extension in good faith.
b. Automatic Termination. This Agreement terminates automatically, with no further act or action of either Party, if a receiver is appointed for either Party or over either Party’s property, either Party makes an assignment for the benefit of its creditors, any proceedings are commenced by, for or against either Party under any bankruptcy, insolvency or debtor’s relief law, or either Party is liquidated or dissolved. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Brightmail is reorganizing its entity under the bankruptcy laws and is not in breach of this Agreement, the Agreement shall not automatically terminate. If Brightmail has any change in the management or control of, or any transfer of more than twenty-five percent (25%) of Brightmail’s voting control or a transfer of substantially all its assets to a competitor of Symantec, which Symantec determines in it sole discretion is a competitor, then this Agreement shall automatically terminate on the date of a notice by Symantec of such decision as provided in writing by Symantec to Brightmail. The foregoing shall be referred to hereafter as “Automatic Termination”.
c. Disruption to Symantec’s Small Business Revenue. Symantec may terminate the Agreement, but not sooner than six (6) months from the Effective Date, if Symantec determines in its sole discretion, that Brightmail has entered into any agreement that disrupts Symantec’s anti virus small business revenue.
d. Effect of Termination.
(i) Effect on Payments and Licenses. Upon any termination of any kind and any expiration of the Term, no refunds of Payments due and/or Minimum Commitment Payments will be made to Brightmail. Further, the license granted under this Agreement to use the Licensed Product and the Documentation is immediately revoked other than subject to any applicable Run Off Periods.
(ii) Obligations of Brightmail as to Licensed Products. Brightmail, within ten (10) days, shall, at Symantec’s option, either destroy all licensed copies of the Licensed Product and Documentation, and all backups, or return them to Symantec, and certify in writing by an authorized officer of Brightmail that all copies have been destroyed and/or returned. In each instance where Brightmail has distributed the Licensed Product and/or Documentation to Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers, then Brightmail shall contractually require and enforce the requirement that the Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers destroy the Licensed Product and Documentation, and all backups, or return them to Brightmail, and certify in writing by an authorized officer of Brightmail that all copies have been destroyed and/or returned and/or that Brightmail has by way of its technology effectively prevented all further use of the Licensed Product. This obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
18
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
(iii) Outstanding Invoices. The due dates of all outstanding invoices to Brightmail for Licensed Product(s) automatically will be accelerated if the termination is based on a For Cause Termination caused by Brightmail or an Automatic Termination triggered by conduct of Brightmail, so they become due and payable by immediate wire transfer on the effective date of termination or expiration, even if longer terms had been provided previously, except in the case that Symantec terminates for any disruption to its small business revenue pursuant to the terms set forth under Section X.6.c.
(iv) Cease Use of Marks and Run Off Period. Brightmail will forthwith cease, and cause each of its Authorized Sublicensees and Resellers to also cease, all use of all Symantec trademarks, and will not thereafter use any xxxx which is confusingly similar to any trademark associated with any Licensed Product(s) with the BMI Products or BMI Service or any other products or services and contractually require the Authorized Sublicensees to do the same and also with regard to its Service and enforce the same on Symantec’s behalf. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if the Term of this Agreement expires and is not renewed, or there is any termination other than (i) an Automatic Termination for bankruptcy only or (ii) a For Cause Termination caused by Brightmail, then and only then, pursuant to the provisions set forth in this Section, Brightmail may continue for up to three (3) months after termination of this Agreement to sublicense the Licensed Product under existing agreements with Authorized Sublicensees and conditioned on the continuation of Brightmail making any Payments due to Symantec for such period of additional time, per the terms of this Agreement (the “Run Off Period”). The foregoing Run Off Period applies only if Symantec is able to deliver a functional Licensed Product and related virus definitions which shall mean for purposes of this Agreement, that the Licensed Product and the delivery of virus definitions meet the special warranty provisions set forth in this Agreement. So provided that a functional Licensed Product and virus definitions are available and Payments are current, and that no other breaches of the Agreement exist, Symantec agrees that the Run Off Period is automatically extended for another three (3) months unless Brightmail indicates it no longer needs the Run Off Period. Thereafter, given the same conditions are met again, in that a functional Licensed Product and virus definitions are available, Payments are current, and no other breach of the Agreement exists, then Symantec agrees that the Run Off Period automatically renews for yet another three (3) months, providing no more than a total of nine (9) months of Run Off Period unless Brightmail indicates it no longer needs the Run Off Period. Brightmail agrees that support is only available in any Run Off Period to Brightmail if Symantec is then supporting the Licensed Product and Brightmail is current on its support payments, if any. Brightmail agrees that the Payment obligations continue to apply to all Run Off Periods. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the Licensed Product will be promptly destroyed by Brightmail, if so approved in writing by Symantec and Brightmail will then will certify to Symantec in writing the destruction of such Licensed Product in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in writing pursuant to which Symantec so approved such destruction. If Symantec does not approve destruction, Brightmail must return the Licensed Product at its own expense.
e. Limitation of Liability for Termination. Symantec shall not be liable to Brightmail on account of termination or expiration of this Agreement for reimbursement or damages for loss of goodwill, prospective profits or anticipated orders, or on account of any expenditures, investments, leases or commitments made by Brightmail based upon or growing out of such termination or expiration. Brightmail acknowledges and agrees that; (i) Brightmail has no expectation and has received no assurances that its business relationship with Symantec will continue beyond the stated Term of this Agreement or its earlier termination in accordance with this clause other than for any applicable Run Off Periods, that any investment by Brightmail in the promotion of the BMI Service, BMI Products or the Licensed Products will be recovered or recouped, or that Brightmail shall obtain any anticipated amount of profits by virtue of this Agreement; and (ii) Brightmail shall not have or acquire by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise any vested, proprietary or
19
CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED
other right in the promotion of the BMI Service or in any goodwill created by its efforts hereunder. The Parties acknowledge that this clause has been included as a material inducement for Symantec to enter into this Agreement and that Symantec would not have entered into this Agreement but for the limitations of liability as set forth herein.
7. Survival of Warranties and Covenants.
The warranties, covenants and agreements contained in this Agreement, which by their nature should survive the termination of this Agreement, shall survive the termination of this Agreement and remain in full force and effect.
8. Relationship of the Parties.
Brightmail is a customer of Symantec, and will not have, and will not represent that it has, any power, right or authority to bind Symantec, or to assume or create any obligation or responsibility express or implied, on behalf of Symantec or in Symantec’s name.
