In providing any such similar services or deliverables to any third party, SAIC shall keep confidential any Customer confidential, proprietary or trade secret information which is subject to the Non-Disclosure Agreement executed pursuant to this section, in accordance with the requirements of such agreement.
7.
Intellectual Property
(a)
Customer and SAIC shall each retain ownership of, and all right, title and interest in and to, their respective, pre-existing Intellectual Property, and no license therein, whether express or implied, is granted by this Agreement or as a result of the Services performed hereunder. To the extent the parties wish to grant to the other rights or interests in pre-existing Intellectual Property, separate license agreements on mutually acceptable terms will be executed. Each party grants to the other a royalty-free, paid-up, worldwide, perpetual, nonexclusive license to use, copy, modify, improve, make, have made, make derivative works, and sublicense any preexisting copyrights and trade secrets incorporated into the Ordered IP.
(b)
All Intellectual Property developed by SAIC pursuant to this Agreement (“Ordered IP’) shall be jointly owned by Customer and SAIC. Each party agrees to assign, and hereby does assign, to the other an undivided, one-half ownership interest in and to such Ordered IP. Except as set out in this Agreement or a separate written agreement between the parties, neither party shall be obligated to pay the other any
3
royalties or other consideration, nor account to the other for any royalties or other consideration it may receive, for any licenses, assignment, sale, lease, or other distribution of the Ordered IP or any derivatives or improvements to such Ordered IP. To enable the other to have such joint ownership rights, each party agrees that it shall execute and deliver such instruments and take such action as may be reasonably requested by the other to perfect or protect the other’s right in Ordered IP and to carry out the assignments contemplated in this Section, and shall assist the other and its nominees to secure, maintain, protect and defend for the other’s benefit all such rights in the Ordered W in any and all countries.
(c)
With respect to Ordered IP for which a patent application is filed or a patent is issued which comes within the scope of the SAIC Patent Rights claims licensed or assigned as set out in the Patent License and Assignment Agreement entered into by the parties and dated 12 August 2005 (the “Patent Agreement”), SAIC hereby grants and agrees to grant to Customer, only under the claims in such new patent applications or patents which fall within the scope of the SAIC Patent Rights claims, the sole and exclusive, worldwide right and license solely in the Field of Use to make, have made, import, use, offer for sale and sell products and services under such claims and make improvements under such claims and to sublicense subject to the limitations set out in Section 12.2 of the Patent Agreement. The license grant set out in this Section 7(c) shall automatically become non-exclusive if Customer has not paid SAIC, within thirty six (36) months of Project Completion, a cumulative amount under the Patent Agreement equal to at least two million dollars ($2,000,000). This license grant is subject to the terms and conditions of both this Agreement and the Patent Agreement, including without limitation Customer’s obligations to pay the amounts set out in Section 7 of the Patent Agreement and SAIC’s ability to terminate the license set out in Section 10 of the Patent Agreement. For purposes of this Section (c): (i) “SAIC Patent Rights” shall have the meaning set out in Section 1.29 of the Patent Agreement; (ii) “Field of Use” shall have the meaning set out in Section 1.8 of the Patent Agreement; and (iii) “Project Completion” shall have the meaning set out in Section 1.21 of the Agreement.
(d)
Each party shall promptly notify the other if it becomes aware of any infringement or misappropriation by any party of any Ordered IP.
(e)
Customer shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to prepare, file and prosecute, at its expense, patent, copyright and trademark applications, and all other applications for foreign letters patent for all intellectual property included in the Ordered IP. If Customer elects (either on its own initiative or thirty (30) days after SAIC’s request) not to prosecute any such applications, then Customer shall provide SAIC timely notice of Customer’s election, and after thirty (30) days receipt by Customer of a notice from SAIC indicating that SAIC wishes to prosecute such application(s), then SAIC shall have the right to file and prosecute such application(s) at its own expense. In connection with any such applications, each party shall, at no expense to the other, upon the request of the party prosecuting the same, execute and deliver to the other party such documents and provide such other reasonable assistance as the party prosecuting the
4
same deems necessary or advisable in order to cause said patents to be issued. All such applications shall be in the name of both Customer and SAIC.
(f)
Customer shall have the first right, but not the obligation, to bring, prosecute and settle infringement claims with respect to the Ordered IP. If Customer elects not to bring or prosecute such claims, the Customer shall provide SAIC timely notice of Customer’s election and, after thirty (30) days after receipt by Customer of a notice from SAIC indicating that SAIC wishes to bring or prosecute such claims, the Customer shall provide SAIC timely notice of Customer’s election, and then SAIC shall have the right to bring, prosecute and settle such claims, at its own expense. Any party that exercises this right will keep the other reasonably and promptly informed concerning the material developments regarding such action and, to the extent practical or necessary, shall request the cooperation or participation of the other in such action. Each party shall reasonably and promptly cooperate with any such request. Each party shall take all steps necessary and appropriate to maintain attorney-Customer and work-product privileges regarding any information relating to such action, and to maintain the confidentiality of any trade secrets or confidential information owned or identified by either party that may be subject to discovery or disclosure in such action, including but not limited to obtaining and observing an appropriate protective order.
(g)
Customer shall have the first right to defend infringement claims arising out of or related to the Ordered IP. In the event that Customer elects not to defend such claim (either on its own initiative or thirty (30) days after SAIC’s request), SAIC will have the right to defend such claim. Neither party shall settle or otherwise resolve or dispose of such action or proceeding in any manner that affects the validity, enforceability or operativeness of any patents for the Ordered IP, or imposes any obligation on the other, without the express consent of the other. Each party will keep the other reasonably and promptly informed concerning the material developments regarding such action and, to the extent practical or necessary, shall request the cooperation or participation of the other in such action.
(h)
For sake of clarity and not by way of limitation, SAIC shall retain an unrestricted right to use any Intellectual Property acquired, created or developed during the performance of this Agreement, on behalf of itself and its future Customers. SAIC may perform the same or similar services for others, provided that any Customer confidential, proprietary or trade secret information is treated in accordance with any Non-Disclosure Agreement executed pursuant to Section 6 of this Agreement.
(i)
As used herein, “Intellectual Property” shall mean inventions (whether or not patentable), works of authorship, trade secrets, techniques, know-how, ideas, concepts, algorithms, and other intellectual property.
8.
Taxes
(a)
Customer shall pay any and all sales, use, value added, excise, import, privilege, or similar taxes, levies or payments in lieu thereof, including interest and penalties thereon, arising out of or in connection with the performance of this Agreement (other
5
than those levied on SAIC’s income), imposed by any authority, government or governmental agency, and shall comply with all applicable treaties, laws, rules or regulations relating thereto.
(b)
In the event a taxing authority conducts an audit of this Agreement and determines that an additional tax should have been imposed on the Services or Deliverables provided by SAIC to Customer (other than those taxes levied on SAIC’s income), Customer shall reimburse SAIC for any such additional tax, including interest and penalties thereon. Similarly, if a taxing authority determines that a refund of tax is due as it relates to the Services or Deliverables provided by SAIC to Customer (except those taxes relating to SAIC’s income), SAIC shall reimburse Customer such refund, including any interest paid thereon by the taxing authority.
9.
Termination
Either party may terminate this Agreement for any reason upon 30 days written notice to the other party. Termination will not affect payment obligations incurred under this Agreement for Services performed and reimbursable costs and expenses incurred prior to the effective date of termination, including without limitation commitments to purchase products or services from third parties, which were entered into by SAIC in the course of performance hereunder prior to the effective date of termination. Such reimbursable costs may include, but are not limited to, cancellation fees, minimum consulting or material fees, and non-refundable charges or fees for third party products or services.
10.
Limited Warranty
(a)
SAIC warrants that the Services provided under this Agreement shall be performed with that degree of skill and judgment normally exercised by recognized professional firms performing services of the same or substantially similar nature. In the event of any breach of the foregoing warranty, provided Customer has delivered to SAIC timely notice of such breach as hereinafter required, SAIC shall, at its own expense, in its discretion either: (1) re-perform the non-conforming Services and correct the non-conforming Deliverables to conform to this standard; or (2) refund to Customer that portion of the amounts received by SAIC attributable to the non-conforming Services and/or Deliverables. No warranty claim shall be effective unless Customer has delivered to SAIC written notice specifying in detail the non-conformities within 90 days after performance of the non-conforming Services or tender of the non-conforming Deliverables. The remedy set forth in this Section 10(a) is the sole and exclusive remedy for breach of the foregoing warranty.
(b)
SAIC SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED STANDARDS, GUARANTEES, OR WARRANTlES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND ANY WARRANTIES THAT MAY BE ALLEGED TO ARISE AS A RESULT OF CUSTOM OR USAGE, ANY WARRANTY OF ERROR-FREE PERFORMANCE, OR ANY WARRANTY OF THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS, OR FUNCTIONALITY
6
OF THE CUSTOMER’S HARDWARE, SOFTWARE, FIRMWARE, OR COMPUTER SYSTEMS.
(c)
Customer represents and warrants to SAIC that Customer has the right to use and furnish to SAIC for SAIC’s use in connection with this Agreement, any information, specifications, data or Intellectual Property that Customer has provided or will provide to SAIC in order for SAIC to perform the Services and to create the Deliverables identified in Exhibit A.
11.
Limitation of Liability
(a)
SAIC’s total liability to Customer for any and all liabilities, claims or damages arising out of or relating to this Agreement, howsoever caused and regardless of the legal theory asserted, including breach of contract or warranty, tort, strict liability, statutory liability or otherwise, shall not, in the aggregate, exceed the amount actually paid to SAIC under this Agreement, or under the specific task order at issue, whichever is less.
(b)
In no event shall either SAIC or Customer be liable to the other for any punitive, exemplary, special, indirect, incidental or consequential damages (including, but not limited to, lost profits, lost business opportunities, loss of use or equipment down time, and loss of or corruption to data) arising out of or relating to this Agreement, regardless of the legal theory under which such damages are sought, and even if the parties have been advised of the possibility of such damages or loss.
12.
Non-Waiver of Rights
The failure of either party to insist upon performance of any provision of this Agreement, or to exercise any right, remedy or option provided herein, shall not be construed as a waiver of the right to assert any of the same at any time thereafter.
13.
Rights and Remedies Not Exclusive
Unless otherwise expressly provided herein, no right or remedy of a party expressed herein shall be deemed exclusive, but shall be cumulative with, and not in substitution for, any other right or remedy of that party.

15.
Conflicting Provisions
This Agreement and all of the exhibits, schedules, and documents attached hereto are intended to be read and construed in harmony with each other, but in the event any provision in any attachment conflicts with any provision of this Agreement, then this Agreement shall be deemed to control, and such conflicting provision to the extent it conflicts shall be deemed removed and replaced with the governing provision herein.
16.
Assignment
Neither party may sell, assign, transfer, or otherwise convey any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed, which consent shall be contingent upon the party and the potential assignee providing the other party with all commercially reasonable information necessary for such party to make a fully informed consent. Any such assignment or transfer without the other party’s prior written consent shall be null and void. Notwithstanding the foregoing, (i) SAIC may without violation of this paragraph engage the services of independent contractors to assist in the performance of its duties hereunder; and (ii) Customer shall have the right to assign or otherwise transfer or convey any of its rights or delegate any of its duties under this Agreement in whole or in party to any Subsidiary, without the written consent of SAIC; however, in this event, Customer shall remain subject to the obligations and other terms and conditions of this Agreement and guarantee the obligations of the Subsidiary under this Agreement (including without limitation, Customer shall remain subject to all audit and payment obligations under this Agreement). “Subsidiary” means a majority owned subsidiary of VirnetX whose financial statements are consolidated into VirnetX’s financial statements.

20.

Neither party shall be liable to the other for any liability claims, damages or other loss caused by or resulting from a Force Majeure Occurrence.
21.

This Agreement shall not be effective until the execution and delivery between each of the parties of at least one set of the counterparts.
22.
Notices
All notices or other written communication required or permitted to be given under any provision of this Agreement shall be deemed to have been given by the notifying party if mailed by certified mail, return receipt requested, to the receiving party addressed to the mailing address set forth in the first paragraph of this Agreement, or such other address as the parties may designate in writing to the other parties.
