Key.
11
(2) Provided and to the extent Supplier fails to deliver
those portions of the Embodiment that are Key-related
within the first eight (8) Normal Working Hours after
receipt of any delivery request made under subparagraph
(1) in connection with a Key, or fails to deliver the
entire Embodiment within the first twenty-four (24)
Normal Working Hours after receipt of any other delivery
request made under subparagraph (1), Boeing may reverse
assemble, decompile, or otherwise reverse engineer all or
any portion of the Embodiment from any copy of the
Licensed Software then in its possession.
(3) Boeing may use, copy, compile, and prepare derivative
works based on all or any portion of the Embodiment thus
obtained in connection with continued exercise of the
license granted under the clause entitled "License,"
including, without limitation, correction of Program
Errors.

entitled "Support Services."
(1) Boeing may request delivery of, and Supplier or its
trustee shall deliver, the Embodiment of the Intellectual
Property upon the occurrence of one or more of the
trigger events described in the paragraph entitled

Key.
(2) Provided and to the extent Supplier fails to deliver
those portions of the Embodiment that are Key-related
within the first eight (8) Normal Working Hours after
receipt of any delivery request made under subparagraph
(1) in connection with a Key, or fails to deliver the
entire Embodiment within the first twenty-four (24)
Normal Working Hours after receipt of any other delivery
request made under subparagraph (1), Boeing may reverse
assemble, decompile, or otherwise reverse engineer all or
any portion of the Embodiment from any copy of the
Licensed Software then in its possession.
(3) Boeing may use, copy, compile, and prepare derivative
works based on all or any portion of the Embodiment thus

license granted under the clause entitled "License,"
including without limitation correction of any errors,
whether or not Program Errors, and (ii) modification or
enhancement of the Program.
12
d. Trigger Events. The license granted under this clause is
granted and vested as of the effective date of this Agreement
and takes effect automatically upon the occurrence of the
following events:
(1) With respect to any Program covered by the clause
entitled "Support Services," Supplier fails to correct a
Critical Program Error, despite response to the Boeing
trouble report pursuant to that clause.
(2) With respect to any Program, whether or not covered by
the clause entitled "Support Services," Supplier breaches
any of the warranties set forth in the paragraph entitled
"No Restrictions" of the clause entitled "License" or in
the paragraphs entitled "Software Warranties" or
"Support" of the clause entitled "Warranties," and fails
to cure the breach in a timely fashion. Provided and to
the extent the breach is caused by a Key, however, the
cure period will be the first six (6) Normal Working
Hours after receipt of Boeing's deficiency notice. Any
business interruption, whether temporary or permanent,
resulting in the failure of suport obligations shall
constitute a trigger event for purposes of the grant of a
contingent source code license as referenced in
subparagraph (a) of the Source
Code Clause.
e. Verification. At Boeing's request, during Normal Working
Hours, Supplier shall, in the presence of Boeing
representatives, compile and test the Program source code for
Boeing on Supplier's equipment for the purpose of verifying
that it satisfies the requirements of this clause.

performance of its obligations under the clause entitled
"Support Services" to Boeing's satisfaction. Except as set
forth below, the license granted under subparagraph (3) of the
paragraph entitled "Boeing's Rights After Rejection" of this
clause, however, will remain in effect so long as Boeing is
entitled to use the Program in object code form under this
Agreement, both during and after the trigger event which gave
rise to it. In this event, Boeing may, but need not, resume
coverage under the clause entitled "Support Services,"
whereupon the license granted under subparagraph (3) of the
paragraph entitled "Boeing's Rights After Rejection" of this
clause will lapse as of Supplier's acceptance of a Purchase
Contract for the resumed coverage.
13
g. Employment. As of the effective date of any source license
granted under this clause, Boeing may, at its sole discretion,
solicit for employment and hire any of Supplier's employees who

the extent Boeing does so, Supplier hereby releases, and shall
release, any such employees from any restrictions imposed on
him or her by any contrary provision in any agreement between
Supplier and such employees. In addition, Supplier hereby
waives, releases, and renounces any claim against Boeing or any
of its subsidiaries arising out of the solicitation or hiring
of such employees in accordance with this paragraph.

Embodiment will be treated as Supplier's Proprietary
Information under the clause entitled "Proprietary
Information."
i. Irreparable Harm. Any delay or failure to deliver the
Embodiment in accordance with this clause will cause Boeing
irreparable harm. Likewise, certain disclosures of the
Licensed Software in source code form will cause Supplier

shall destroy the Evaluation Program unless Boeing exercises
its option under the paragraph entitled "Option to License" of
this clause.
c. Preproduction Software. Each Evaluation Program ordered and
obtained by Boeing under this clause for alpha or beta testing
will be treated as Supplier's Proprietary Information in
accordance with the clause entitled "Proprietary Information,"
even though it is or may be provided in object code form.
d. Reports. Boeing may, but need not, prepare and furnish
Supplier a report, setting forth the results of any alpha or
beta testing conducted by Boeing under the paragraph entitled
"Preproduction Software" of this clause. Each and every such
report is not intended to be, nor should it be used or
construed as, any kind of product endorsement by Boeing.

contemplated by the paragraph entitled "Reports" of this clause
at its own risk. Supplier shall defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless Boeing and its subsidiaries and their respective
directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against all
actions, causes of action, liabilities, claims, suits,

whatsoever (hereinafter referred to as "Claims"), and expenses,
costs of litigation (including without limitation clerk,
paralegal, and expert witness costs), and reasonable attorneys'
fees related thereto, or incident to establishing the right to
indemnification, whether or not specifically awardable under
any court rules, to the extent such Claims arise from any such
report, or the use or disclosure of any of the information
contained in the report. In no event shall Supplier's
obligations hereunder be limited to the extent of any insurance
available to or provided by Supplier or any Subcontractor.
f. Supplier's Responsibilities. Every Evaluation Program will be
furnished to Boeing "AS IS" and will not be subject to the
clauses entitled "License," "Source Code," if any, or "Support
Services," unless and until Boeing exercises its option to
license it under the paragraph entitled "Option to License" of
this clause.
g. Option to License. Should Boeing decide to license any
Evaluation Program, Boeing may issue a Purchase Contract to
this effect, whereupon it will be considered "Licensed

corrections, updates, new releases, or new versions of the Program delivered
under this clause. Standard Annual Maintenance is provided at an annual flat fee
for each license purchased.
Supplier is required, provided Boeing purchases Premium or Standard Annual
Maintenance, to maintain the uniquely developed Boeing "mime type" in the
current and all future Version Releases, Upgrade Releases and Update Releases at
no additional cost. Supplier shall have the right, at its sole discretion, to
futher enhance or change the methods incorpoated into their Program, modify
existing features in the Program or add additional features to the Program
provided Supplier ensures that the backward compatibity with the Boeing funded
development is maintained in any future Program Version Release, Upgrade Release
and Update Release. Boeing may, at its discretion, adopt any new enhancements
or use any new methods provided in future versions of the Program and relieve
Supplier of the backward compatibilty requirement. Such relief must be in
writing from Boeing to Supplier as defined in Clause 23 Notices.
b. Hot Line. Supplier shall maintain a telephone "hot line" with
which Boeing can report Program Errors to Supplier twenty-four
(24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week, or obtain ongoing
technical assistance as may be required for Boeing to
understand and use the Licensed Software. The hot line shall
be available for live communication during Normal Working
Hours. If unable to provide live communication for all or any
portion of the remaining twenty-four (24) hours a day, Supplier
shall provide a telephone message recording device which will
effectively record Boeing's reports.
c. Classification of Program Errors. Supplier shall correct any
Program Error which becomes known to it, in accordance with the
severity of the Program Error involved and its actual or
potential impact upon Boeing operations. Boeing shall inform
Supplier of these facts when making its trouble report.
Boeing reserves the right to reclassify any Program Error as a
Critical Program Error, or vice versa, at any time. The fact
that a Program Error is not classified as a Critical Program
Error, however, shall in no way prejudice Boeing's rights or
remedies under this Agreement.
17
d. Response. Supplier shall respond to every Boeing trouble
report, as follows, commencing upon receipt of Boeing's trouble
report:
1) Error Reporting. Within the first four (4) Normal
Working Hours, Supplier shall provide telephone
consultation to Boeing.
2) Non-Critical Program Errors. For Program Errors other
than Critical Program Errors, Supplier shall use its best
efforts to correct them, either through the development
and provision of corrective code for the Program, or
corrective addenda or substitute pages for the
Documentation, or both. Supplier shall promptly replace
any "work-around," "patches," or other temporary
correction provided to Boeing in response to a Program
Error with permanent correction, and in any event shall
include such permanent correction in the next release of
the Licensed Software.
3) Critical Errors. For Critical Program Errors other than
a Key, Supplier shall respond in the same manner as that
described in the preceding paragraph, but shall deliver a
suitable "work-around," "patch," or other temporary
correction suitable to restore lost functionality and
performance within the first twenty-four (24) Normal

for Supplier to perform the obligations set forth above,
Supplier shall cooperate with Boeing to provide
appropriate work-arounds, interim support, onsite
personnel, or other remedial measures commensurate with
the severity and impact of the Program Error.
Failure by the Supplier to restore lost functionality and performance
within the applicable period set forth above, or any longer period
prescribed by the Authorized Boeing Representative, is a failure to
perform under this clause, and constitutes a trigger event under the
paragraph entitled "Trigger Events" of any clause entitled "Source
Code."
e. Other Users. Should Supplier learn of a Program Error from any
user other than Boeing or one of its subsidiaries, Supplier
shall notify Boeing of the Program Error and its potential
impact on Boeing operations promptly, and shall respond in
accordance with the procedure described in the paragraph
entitled "Response" of this clause, as if the Program Error was
reported by Boeing.

corrections toVersion Releases, Upgrade Releases, and Update
Release of the Program shall be provided promptly by Supplier.
18
g. Diagnostic Data. From time to time, Supplier may request, and
Boeing shall furnish (to the extent it has the legal right to
do so), certain data generated by the Program, as reasonably
required by Supplier to perform its obligations under this
clause. Such data will be treated as Boeing's Proprietary
Information in accordance with the clause entitled "Proprietary
Information" regardless of the markings, screen displays, or
other notices provided, or not provided, on or in conjunction
with such data.
h. Supplier shall provide Boeing one (1) year notice of intent to
discontinue maintenance on any particular version of Licensed
Software.
i. Should Supplier choose to consolidate, merge, rename, split,
repackage etc., the Licenses Software currently being used by
Boeing, with any other software products it licenses, for
whatever reason, Boeing will not be required to pay any
additional maintenance fees, or the increased license fees, due
to the consolidation, merge, rename, split or repackaging, fee
for the acquisition of future licenses. If Boeing has requested
the consolidation, merge, rename, split, repackage etc.,
Supplier and Boeing will mutually agree at the time of the
consolidation on the approprieate increased fee. Should Boeing
choose to accept the consolidated, merged, renamed, split,
repackaged software Boeing would accordingly pay the higher
price.
14. PROPRIETARY INFORMATION
a. Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, the term
"Proprietary Information" means code or information which
relates to and is disclosed by one party (the "originating
party") to the other party (the "receiving party") in
connection with a Purchase Contract or other matter within the
scope of this Agreement (hereinafter referred to as the
"Project"), provided that, when disclosed, such information is
in written or other permanent form (a "permanent record")
and is identified as proprietary to the originating party by
clear and conspicuous markings. Any such information in
another form when disclosed shall be considered Proprietary
Information only if and to the extent the originating party
informs the receiving party of the proprietary nature of the
information prior to the disclosure, and thereafter creates a
permanent record of the disclosure, as described above, and
delivers it to the receiving party promptly but in no event
more than thirty (30) days after the original disclosure.
Proprietary Information includes, without limitation, code or
information contemplated by any clause entitled "Source Code,"
the paragraph entitled "Preproduction Software" of the clause
entitled "Evaluation and Test Software," and the paragraph
entitled "Diagnostic Data" of the clause entitled "Support
Services." Proprietary Information does not include the
Program in object code form or the Documentation.
b. Disclosure and Use. The receiving party shall preserve
Proprietary Information received from the originating party in
confidence, and shall refrain from disclosing such Proprietary
Information to any third party without written authorization
from the originating party. Except for the Licensed Software
in source code form, these obligations will terminate three
(3) years after receipt. During the term of the Project, the
receiving party shall use Proprietary Information received
from the originating party solely in connection with the
Project. The disclosure and use obligations set forth above
shall be considered satisfied by the receiving party through
the exercise of the degree of care, but in no event less than
reasonable care, used to restrict disclosure and use of its
own information of like kind and importance.
19
c. Exception. This Agreement shall not restrict disclosure or
use of Proprietary Information that is:
1) Known to the receiving party without restriction when
received, or thereafter is developed independently by the
receiving party, without reference to Proprietary
Information of the originating party; or
2) Obtained from a source other than the originating party
through no breach of confidence by the receiving party;
or
3) In the public domain when received, or thereafter enters
the public domain through no fault of the receiving
party; or
4) Disclosed by the originating party to a third party
without restriction; or
5) Required by applicable law or regulation, provided the
receiving party notifies the originating party of the
requirement promptly, and cooperates with the originating
party (at the request and expense of the originating
party) in contesting the requirement.
d. No Other Rights Granted. Proprietary Information shall remain
the property of the originating party. Except for the rights
expressly granted under this Agreement, neither this Agreement
nor the disclosure of Proprietary Information hereunder shall
be construed as granting any right or license under any trade
secrets, copyrights, inventions, or patents now or hereafter
owned or controlled by either party. This Agreement does not
grant any right or license, or impose any restriction on use
or disclosure with respect to information, other than
Proprietary Information, disclosed or received by either party
in connection with the Project.
e. Wind-up Activities. Upon termination of the Project and
unless instructed to do otherwise by the originating party,
the receiving party shall cease use of and destroy all of the
Proprietary Information, if any, received from the originating
party. The originating party may request, and the receiving
party shall provide, written certification of the destruction.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may retain one copy
of each and every permanent record of the Proprietary
Information disclosed to it under this Agreement solely as a
record of the disclosure.
20
f. Transfer of Employees. Supplier acknowledges that Boeing is
or may be using third-party programs, documentation, computing
equipment, and other products which provide functionality and
capabilities similar to those provided by the Goods.
Likewise, Boeing acknowledges that Supplier is developing, or
may desire to develop, new and improved products which address
the needs and requirements of customers similar to Boeing.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this clause or this
Agreement, therefore, so long as each party does not knowingly
disclose Proprietary Information received from the other
party, each party may transfer and allow those employees who
have had access to and reviewed the other party's Proprietary
Information under this Agreement to use the ideas, concepts,
and know-how gained from such access in other assignments.
15. INFRINGEMENT
a. Indemnity. Supplier shall defend, indemnify, and hold
harmless Boeing and its subsidiaries and their respective
directors, officers, employees, and agents from and against
all actions, causes of action, liabilities, claims, suits,
judgments, liens, awards, and damages of any kind and nature
whatsoever (hereinafter referred to as "Claims") and expenses,
costs of litigation (including without limitation clerk,
paralegal, and expert witness costs), and reasonable
attorneys' fees related thereto, or incident to establishing
the right to indemnification, whether or not specifically
awardable under any court rules, to the extent such Claims
arise out of the infringement of any patent or copyright by
the Goods, or involve the wrongful use of any trade secret or
confidential information. The foregoing notwithstanding,
Supplier shall not be liable to Boeing for Boeing's
consequential damages or lost profits as a result of any
permanent injunction referred to in the paragraph entitled
"Cancellation of License" below. Boeing shall give Supplier
notice of all Claims made against Boeing or any of its
subsidiaries and shall cooperate with Supplier (at Supplier's
expense) in the defense or settlement of such Claims. In no
event shall Supplier's obligations hereunder be limited to the
extent of any insurance available to or provided by Supplier
or any Subcontractor.
b. Exclusions. The paragraph entitled "Indemnity" of this clause
does not apply to any Claim arising out of the unauthorized
modification, combination, operation, or use of the Goods by
Boeing or any of its subsidiaries, to the extent the Claim
would not have arisen had such modification, combination,
operation, or use not occurred.
c. Cure. As soon as Supplier or Boeing has reason to believe a
Claim is likely to be made against Boeing or any of its
subsidiaries, Supplier shall, promptly and at its sole
expense, use its best efforts to settle, avoid, or otherwise
cure the Claim by one of the following procedures:
1) Obtain a license for Boeing and its subsidiaries to
continue using the Goods giving rise to the Claim in
accordance with this Agreement.
2) Modify such Goods to make them noninfringing, while
maintaining the equivalent or better functionality,
features, and performance.
3) Replace such Goods with a noninfringing product, either
from Supplier or another supplier, having the equivalent
or better functionality, features and performance.
21
The procedures are set forth above in order of precedence. Supplier shall
pursue each of these procedures in the order stated until the cure is
accomplished. Boeing reserves the right, however, to direct Supplier to attempt
these procedures in a different order, in the interest of minimizing the adverse
impact of the cure on Boeing operations. These obligations are in addition to,
not in lieu of, Supplier's obligations under the paragraph entitled "Indemnity"
of this clause, and any other remedy provided at law or in equity.
d. Cancellation of License. If, despite its best efforts to do
so, Supplier is unable to effect a cure under the paragraph
entitled "Cure" of this clause, and a permanent injunction
ordering Boeing and its subsidiaries to cease further use of
the Goods is issued by a court of competent jurisdiction,
either party may cancel the Purchase Contract under which the
Goods were ordered, either in whole or in part, whereupon
Boeing may return all or any portion of the Goods to Supplier
for a full refund. Any license granted under this Agreement
with respect to the returned Goods will terminate as of the
effective date of the cancellation. This remedy is in
addition to, not in lieu of, Supplier's obligations under the
paragraph entitled "Indemnity" of this clause, and any other
remedy provided at law or equity.
16. PREMISES INDEMNIFICATION
a. Supplier's Indemnity. Supplier shall defend, indemnify, and
hold harmless Boeing, its subsidiaries, and their respective
directors, officers, employees, and agents (hereinafter
referred to as "Indemnitees") from and against all actions,
causes of action, liabilities, claims, suits, judgments,
liens, awards, and damages, of any kind and nature whatsoever
(hereinafter referred to as "Premises Claims"), for property
damage, bodily injury, or death (including, without
limitation, claims of the employees of Supplier or any
Subcontractor) and expenses, costs of litigation (including
without limitation clerk, paralegal, and expert witness
costs), and reasonable attorneys' fees related thereto, or
incident to establishing the right to indemnification, whether
or not specifically awardable under any court rules, arising
out of or in any way related to the performance of the
Agreement by Supplier or any Subcontractor, or their
respective employees, including, without limitation, the
provision of services, personnel, facilities, equipment,
support, supervision, or review, to the extent such Premises
Claims arise from any negligent act or omission or willful
misconduct of Supplier or any Subcontractor, or their
respective employees. Supplier expressly waives any immunity
under industrial insurance, whether arising from Title 51 of
the Revised Code of Washington, or any other statute or
source, to the extent of the indemnity set forth in this
paragraph. In no event shall Supplier's obligations hereunder
be limited to the extent of any insurance available to or
provided by Supplier or any Subcontractor.
b. Subcontractor Indemnification. Supplier shall require each
Subcontractor to provide an indemnity, enforceable by, and for
the benefit of, the Indemnitees, to the same extent required
of Supplier.
