Symbols (hereinafter defined) for use only during the term of this Agreement and only in the Territory and only for the purpose of implementing the provisions of this Agreement.

The painting of OCS Products under this section will not void any warranty provided by OCS for the OCS Products.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNITY. OCS agrees to defend any legal proceeding brought against Accuray in the Territory to the extent that it is based on a claim that the use of any OCS Products sold or licensed hereunder infringes a copyright or a patent issued in the Territory or misappropriates any trade secret and will pay all damages and costs awarded by a court of final appeal attributable to such claim, or incurred in the settlement thereof; provided that OCS is promptly informed and furnished a copy of each written communication, notice or other action relating to the alleged infringement and is given all control, authority, information and assistance (at OCS’s expense) necessary to defend or settle such legal proceeding. Accuray will not be bound by any settlement or compromise that OCS enters into without Accuray’s express prior written consent. However, if Accuray declines to be bound by any such settlement or compromise, this indemnity is rescinded, and Accuray must defend itself at its own cost.
OCS will not be obligated to defend or be liable for any costs and damages to the extent any such infringement arises (i) out of compliance with Accuray’s specifications or designs, or those of an end user or other purchasers or licensees of Accuray (ii) from a combination with or in addition to devices not supplied by OCS to the extent that the infringement arises solely as a result of such combination or addition; (iii) from a modification of the OCS Products by any person other than OCS; or (iv) from the use of an allegedly infringing version of any OCS Products, if such alleged infringement could be avoided by the use of a different version having similar functionality and made available by OCS.
11
If any claim which OCS is obligated to defend hereunder has occurred, or in OCS’s opinion is likely to occur, OCS shall provide written notice to Accuray of such claim. Furthermore, Accuray agrees to permit OCS, at OCS’s sole option and expense, either to procure for Accuray the right to continue using the OCS Products or to modify the OCS Products so that it becomes non-infringing, or to replace the OCS Products with a product of substantially equivalent functionality (including assisting Accuray in migrating its data to the replacement product at no charge). If none of the foregoing alternatives is reasonably available, then Accuray agrees to return the OCS Products, on written request by OCS, and OCS agrees to refund the purchase price for any such OCS Products, less a deduction for depreciation equal to .0167 of the purchase price for each month or part of a month since the date of purchase (based upon a 5-year depreciable product life).
In addition, to the extent that the infringing OCS Products render unusable any other OCS Products that are dependent upon the infringing OCS Product for operation, then OCS shall also, upon Accuray’s written request, refund the purchase price for such unusable OCS Products, less a deduction for depreciation equal to .0167 of the purchase price for each month or part of a month since the date of purchase (based upon a 5-year depreciable product life).
THE FOREGOING STATES THE SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY OF ACCURAY AND THE TOTAL LIABILITY AND RESPONSIBILITY OF OCS WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OF ANY THIRD PARTY INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS BY OCS PRODUCTS.

The allotted time for the first level negotiator will begin on the effective date of the Invoking Party’s notice. If a resolution is not achieved by negotiators at any given management level at the end of their allotted time, then the allotted time for the negotiations at the next management level, if any, will begin immediately. If resolution is not achieved by negotiators at the final management level within the allotted time then the parties agree within twenty (20) days to select a form of alternative dispute resolution “ADR” (either informal, non-binding arbitration, private judging, mini trial, summary jury trial, moderated settlement conference, mediation or some other format), and negotiate an ADR Agreement for an ADR process. The ADR Agreement shall at least include provisions governing the ADR procedure, rules, discovery, timing and cost allocations. In no event will such ADR process result in the imposition of any element of punitive damages to either party in the event of any award.
If the ADR Agreement is not agreed to by the parties within the time as set forth above, then either party may bring suit to resolve the dispute in any court of competent jurisdiction.
3) Injunctive Relief. Notwithstanding the above provisions relating to arbitration, the parties agree that in respect of a violation of any provision of this Agreement, including without limitation violation of any proprietary of Confidential Information, for which an award of damages is an inadequate remedy to protect the injured party, the injured party is entitled to seek injunctive relief, including a preliminary injunction, in a court of competent jurisdiction, in addition to any other relief available to it under the arbitration procedures specified above in this Section

Siemens will make every effort to respond to service calls at a mutually agreed upon arrival time consistent with the provisions cited in paragraph 2.
2. Principal Coverage Period (PCP)
Service and maintenance will be provided during the principal coverage period as defined on the preceding page(s) hereof, excluding the following holidays: New Years Day, Memorial Day (observed), Independence Day, Labor Day, Thanksgiving Day, Christmas Day. If one of the foregoing holidays falls on a Saturday, then the holiday will be observed on the previous Friday, and if the holiday falls on a Sunday, the holiday will be observed on the following Monday. Unless an extended hours coverage option has been selected, labor and travel required outside the principal coverage period will be charged at Siemens’ prevailing per-call rates.
3. Replacement Parts
Siemens will supply at its own expense, necessary parts, except as indicated in the Features/Benefits Listing, provided replacement of the parts is required because of normal wear and tear or otherwise deemed necessary by Siemens and further provided that the Siemens-manufactured parts are available from the factory. All Parts will be new, standard parts, or used, reworked or refurbished parts that comply with applicable performance and reliability specifications. Exchange parts removed from the Equipment shall become the property of Siemens unless such exchange parts constitute “hazardous wastes”, “hazardous substances”, “special wastes” or other similar materials, as such terms are defined by any federal, state or local laws, rules or regulations, in which case, at the option of Siemens, the exchange parts shall remain the property of the Customer and shall be disposed of by the Customer in strict compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations.
4. Planned Maintenance (PM)
Planned maintenance will be carried out in accordance with the schedule described in the Features/Benefits Listing. This generally includes checking for mechanical and electrical safety, lubrication, functional testing and adjusting for optimum performance as specified in the detailed planned maintenance check list.
5. Software Maintenance
Whenever the Equipment covered by this Agreement utilizes Siemens’ operating system software, Siemens will provide all maintenance and updates for such operating system software as part of the Agreement. Such updates will solely enhance previously purchased capacities of the Equipment. Operating system software updates that provide new features or capabilities or that require hardware changes will be offered to Customer at purchase prices established by Siemens. Siemens retains the sole right to determine whether an update represents an enhancement of a previously purchased capability or a new capability for which the Customer will be charged. In addition, some updates may require Applications Training performed by Siemens’ personnel that will be offered at prevailing rates. Siemens retains the sole right to determine whether an update requires such training.
Nothing in this Agreement shall in any way grant to Customer any right to or license in any diagnostic service software utilized by Siemens in servicing the Equipment. Such service software is and remains the property of Siemens and is available to Customer pursuant to the terms and conditions of a separate diagnostic materials license agreement, which may require payment of a license fee. This service software shall be disabled by Siemens upon cancellation or termination of the Agreement.
6. Equipment; Location; Remote Access
The Equipment covered under this Agreement is limited to the Siemens furnished Equipment described on the face sheet. The Equipment shall not be moved to another location unless Customer obtains the prior written consent of Siemens, subject to the following exceptions (i) portable Equipment (e.g., Ultrasound equipment, but not including any equipment that is housed in a mobile vehicle, van or trailer) may be moved to other locations within the same facility, so long as the Customer informs Siemens of the location of the Equipment when Siemens is scheduled to provide on-site service, (ii) if Equipment is located in a trailer, van or other form of mobile vehicle, the Equipment may be moved from the original Equipment Location identified on the first page of this Agreement, provided, however, that Siemens shall not be required to service such Equipment, and the Response Time and System Performance Guarantees shall not apply, if either (a) the Customer does not notify Siemens at least one (1) month in advance of the Equipment’s mobile route, or (b) the Equipment is moved more than 25 miles from the original Equipment Location; and (iii) if fixed Equipment is moved to any other location within the Customer’s facility, then either (a) the Customer will engage Siemens to relocate the Equipment, at Siemens’ then current rates and charges, or (b) if Siemens does not perform the services necessary to relocate the Equipment, then Siemens may suspend services with respect to such Equipment until Siemens performs an inspection of the Equipment, at the Customer’s cost to determine if any repairs are necessitated as a result of any such relocation (in which case the Customer shall be separately charged for such repairs, including parts and labor). The Equipment shall be eligible for coverage under this Agreement immediately upon expiration of the Siemens warranty or an existing Siemens service agreement, provided it is properly installed, remains connected to the original power supply in its original location (other than portable or mobile Equipment, subject to the qualifications set forth in this paragraph) and is serviced by Siemens authorized personnel only. Equipment not eligible because of this stipulation is subject to inspection by Siemens to determine if it is in good operating condition. Such inspection shall be charged to the Customer at Siemens’ per-call rates and terms then in effect. Any repairs or adjustments deemed necessary by Siemens during the inspection shall be made at Siemens’ per-call rates and terms then in effect and shall include charges for parts, with all such repairs or adjustments to be completed prior to the commencement of service under this Agreement.
Siemens service personnel will be given full and free access to the Equipment to perform inspections and service/maintenance on the Customer’s premises, and will make specific appointments for such maintenance. If the Equipment is not made available at the appointed time, waiting time beyond a reasonable allowance will be charged at prevailing per-call rates.
Customer shall provide Siemens with both on-site and remote access to the Equipment via the network configuration. Remote access will be established through either Customer-provided VPN IPsec Tunneling (non-client) Peer-to-Peer connection or Customer-provided analog telephone service (POTS) to facilitate the connection of a Siemens-provided Analog Router/modem solution. In both cases, access through specific inbound and outbound network ports is required.
7. Agreement Term; Price; Payment Terms
This Agreement shall be in effect for the period stated on the face of this document.
For the basic services to be provided by Siemens under the terms of the Agreement, the Customer agrees to pay the Agreement Price upon the terms set forth on the first page of this Agreement.
All payments to be made by Customer under the Agreement are due not thirty (30) days from the invoice date. Past due payments shall bear interest at the rate of 1½% per month.
8. Causes for Exclusion/Separate Charges
This Agreement specifically excludes labor, parts and expenses necessary to repair Equipment:
· damaged by fire, accident, misuse, abuse, negligence, improper application or alteration or by a force majaure occurrence as described in paragraph 17 hereof, or by the Customer’s failure to operate the Equipment in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions or to maintain the recommended operating environment and line conditions:
· defective due to unauthorized attempts to repair, relocate, maintain, service, add to or modify the Equipment by the Customer or any third party or due to the attachment and/or use of non-Siemens supplied equipment without Siemens’ prior written approval;
· defective due to any repair or service of the Equipment by the Customer or any third party prior to the commencement of the term of this Agreement;
· which failed due to causes from within non-Siemens supplied equipment;
· which is worn out and cannot be reasonably repaired due to the unavailability of spare parts from the original equipment manufacturer; or
· which is a transducer and which is damaged or defective, or which failed, due to any of the foregoing causes or due to improper cleaning, disinfecting or TEE bile marks.
If Siemens is called upon to service or repair Equipment which falls under this paragraph, a separate invoice will be issued for labor, parts and expenses at prevailing per-call rates and prices.

10. Limitation of Liability
Siemens entire liability and Customer’s exclusive remedy for damages from any cause whatsoever, and regardless of the form of action, whether liability in contract or in tort, arising under the Agreement or related hereto, shall not exceed an amount equal to one (1) year’s maintenance charges for the specific item of Equipment under the Agreement that caused the damage or is the subject matter of, or is directly related to, the cause of action. Such maintenance charges will be those in effect for the specific item of Equipment when the cause of action arose. The foregoing limitation of liability shall not apply to claims by Customer or third parties for personal injury or damage to real property or tangible personal property caused solely and directly by the gross negligence or willful misconduct of Siemens. In addition, Siemens shall have no liability hereunder to Customer to the extent that Customer’s or any third party’s acts or omissions contributed in any way to any loss it sustained or to the extent that the loss or damage is due to an act of God or other causes beyond the reasonable control of Siemens.

17. Force Majeure
Siemens will not be liable to Customer for any failure to fulfill its obligations under this Agreement due to causes beyond its reasonable control and without its fault or negligence including, but not limited to, governmental laws and regulations, acts of God or the public, war or other violence, civil commotion, blockades, embargoes, calamities, floods, fires, earthquakes, explosions, accidents, storms, strikes, lockouts, work stoppages, labor disputes, or unavailability of labor, raw materials, power or supplies. In addition, in the event of any determination pursuant to the provisions of a collective bargaining agreement between the Customer and any labor union representing any employees of the Customer preventing or hindering the performance of any of the obligations of Siemens under this Agreement, or determining that the performance of any such obligations violates provisions of that collective bargaining agreement, or in the event a trade union, or unions, representing any of the employees of the Customer otherwise prevents Siemens from performing any such obligations, then Siemens shall be excused from the performance of such obligations unless the Customer makes all required arrangements with the trade union, or unions, to permit Siemens to perform the work. The Customer shall pay any additional costs incurred by Siemens that are related to any labor dispute(s) that involve the Customer.
18. Execution
If the Customer is a corporation or partnership, the person signing this Agreement on its behalf certifies that such person is an officer or partner thereof, that his or her action was duly authorized by appropriate corporate or partnership action, that such action does not conflict with the corporate charter or bylaws or the partnership agreement, as the case may be, or any contractual provision binding on such corporation or partnership, and that no consent of any stockholders to his or her action is required.
19. HIPAA
To the extent required by the provisions of the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act (“HIPAA”) and the regulations promulgated thereunder, Siemens does hereby assure Customer that it will appropriately safeguard protected health information made available to or obtained by Siemens pursuant to this Agreement or any Service Schedule (“PHI”). Without limiting the obligations of Siemens otherwise set forth in this Agreement or imposed by applicable law, Siemens agrees to comply with applicable requirements of law relating to PHI and with respect to any task or other activity Siemens performs on behalf of customer. Specifically, Siemens shall:
(a) not use or disclose PHI other than as permitted or required by this Agreement or as required by law;
(b) implement administrative, physical and technical safeguards that reasonably and appropriately protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of any electronic PHI that it creates, receives, maintains or transmits on behalf of the Customer and otherwise use appropriate safeguards to prevent use or disclosure of PHI, other than as provided for by this Agreement;
(c) report to Customer any use or disclosure of PHI not provided for by this Agreement, and report any security incident, of which Siemens becomes aware;
(d) ensure that any subcontractors or agents to whom Siemens provides PHI received from, or created or received by Siemens on behalf of, Customer agree to essentially the same restrictions and conditions that apply to Siemens with respect to PHI and implement reasonable and appropriate safeguards with respect to PHI;
(e) make PHI available to the Customer in accordance with applicable law;
(f) permit Customer to access PHI to make or permit others to make amendments to PHI in accordance with applicable law;
(g) make available to Customer the information in its possession required to provide an accounting of Siemens’ disclosures of PHI as required by applicable law;
(h) make Siemens’ internal practices, books, and records relating to the use and disclosure of PHI received from Customer available to the Secretary of the United States Health & Human Services for purposes of determining Customer’s compliance with applicable law; and
(i) upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, return to Customer or destroy all PHI in its possession as a result of this Agreement and retain no copies of PHI, if it is feasible to do so. If return or destruction is not feasible, Siemens agrees to extend all protections contained in this Agreement to Siemens’ use and/or disclosure of any retained PHI, and to limit further uses and/or disclosures to the purposes that make the return or destruction of the PHI infeasible.
Siemens agrees that it will negotiate in good faith an amendment to this Agreement if, and to the extent requited by, the provisions of HIPAA and regulations promulgated thereunder, in order to assure that this Agreement is consistent therewith.
