If Miami or Seattle Business management disagrees with any decision made by Houston regarding such list or content, Houston, on the one hand, and Miami and Seattle management, on the other hand, shall escalate such disagreement to successively more senior-levels of executives (up to and including their respective CEOs).

(i) Termination of Licenses to a Non-Subsidiary. Any and all licenses granted by Seattle to a member of the Houston Group hereunder shall terminate immediately at the time such member is no longer a member of the Houston Group, provided that such termination shall not affect any sublicenses granted by such member to any customer or end user pursuant to Section 4.3 (Sublicenses) prior to the date on which such member ceased to be a member of the Houston Group, which sublicenses shall remain in full force and effect.

Section 4.2 Have Made Rights. The licenses granted in Section 4.1 (License Grants) above shall include the right to have contract manufacturers, foundries, and other Third Parties manufacture Houston Licensed Products for any member of the Houston Group (including private label or OEM versions of such products), and are not intended to include foundry or contract manufacturing activities that any member of the Houston Group may undertake on behalf of Third Parties, whether directly or indirectly.

Section 4.4 Improvements. As between Seattle, on the one hand, and the Houston Group, on the other hand, the applicable member of the Houston Group hereby retains all right, title and interest, including all Intellectual Property Rights, in and to any Improvements made by or on behalf of them from and after the Distribution Time (a) to any of the Seattle Licensed IPR and any Technology embodying any of the Seattle Licensed IPR, or (b) in the exercise of the licenses granted to it by the Seattle in this Article IV (Licenses from Seattle to Houston), subject in each case only to the ownership interests of Seattle or any of its Subsidiaries and Third Parties in the underlying Intellectual Property Rights that are improved. Houston shall not have any obligation under this IPMA to notify Seattle of any such Improvements made by or on behalf of the Houston Group or to disclose or license any such Improvements to Seattle.

Section 4.5 No Support Obligations. Except as otherwise set forth in any other Transaction Document, neither Seattle nor any of its Affiliates has any obligation to deliver to the Houston Group any Technology or any other tangible materials that are not in the possession of the Houston Business immediately after the Distribution Time and no obligation to provide any technical, consulting, support or other services to Houston except as expressly provided in the Transition Services Agreement.

ARTICLE V

DISCLAIMERS

Section 5.1 Disclaimer of Warranties.

(a) EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED IN ANY OTHER TRANSACTION DOCUMENT, (i) THE ASSIGNMENTS OF THE TRANSFERRED IP AND LICENSES TO HOUSTON LICENSED IPR GRANTED BY HOUSTON HEREUNDER ARE GRANTED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS AND (ii) HOUSTON HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ANY OTHER MATTER WITH RESPECT TO THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ASSIGNED OR LICENSED HEREUNDER. HOUSTON MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO ANY ABILITY TO PASS THROUGH OR EXTEND ANY THIRD PARTY RIGHTS IN THE HOUSTON LICENSED IPR.

(b) (i) THE LICENSES TO SEATTLE LICENSED IPR GRANTED BY SEATTLE HEREUNDER ARE GRANTED ON AN “AS-IS” BASIS AND (ii) SEATTLE HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, NON-INFRINGEMENT OR ANY OTHER MATTER WITH RESPECT TO THE INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS ASSIGNED OR LICENSED HEREUNDER. SEATTLE MAKES NO REPRESENTATION OR WARRANTY AS TO ANY ABILITY TO PASS THROUGH OR EXTEND ANY THIRD PARTY RIGHTS IN THE TRANSFERRED IP.

(c) The Parties agree and acknowledge that neither the concept of being granted on an “as-is” basis nor a disclaimer of representations and warranties are applicable with respect to the CNTS. Nothing in this IPMA shall be construed as a representation or warranty by Seattle of any kind (either express or implied) with respect to any Autonomy IP.

Section 5.2 No Implied Rights, CNTS, or Licenses. Other than as expressly stated in this IPMA or any other Transaction Document, no other rights, covenants not to Assert, or licenses are granted by any Party under this IPMA or the Separation Agreement, by implication, estoppel or otherwise, with respect to any Intellectual Property Rights or Technology owned or controlled by any Party or any of its Subsidiaries. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing and without limiting anything set forth in any other Transaction Document, the rights granted in Section 3.1 (License Grants), and the rights granted in Section 4.1 (License Grants) and the CNTS granted in Article XI (Covenant Not to Xxx), do not extend to any standalone Software products of Houston or any other member of the Houston Group or Seattle or other member of the Seattle Group, respectively, that are made generally commercially available by Houston or any other member of the Houston Group or Seattle or any other member of the Seattle Group, respectively. Upon request by a Party, the other Party will use, and shall cause any member of its Group to use, good faith efforts to enter into standard customer or other commercial agreements with the requesting Party or its customers with respect to such Software products. By way of example, if Houston used the Seattle Business’s Cloud Services Automation (CSA) product in the Houston Business prior to the Distribution Date, the licenses granted in Section 4.1 (License Grants) and the CNTS granted in Article XI (Covenant Not to Xxx) would not extend to such product. Further, nothing in this IPMA shall restrict the Parties from entering into one or more separate and independent licenses of, or covenants not to Assert with respect to, other Software products or Intellectual Property Rights; provided, however, that neither Party has the obligation to enter into any such license or covenant.

ARTICLE VI

CONFIDENTIALITY

Section 6.1 Confidentiality. Each Party agrees that the other Party’s Confidential Information shall be used, disclosed, and copied by such Party only in furtherance of the exercise of the rights granted under this IPMA. All Houston Confidential Information used, disclosed, or copied by any Seattle Licensed Entity as of or prior to the Distribution Time in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice shall be deemed to be so used, disclosed, or copied in furtherance of the exercise of the rights granted under this IPMA, provided that such use, disclosure, or copying is consistent with the licenses granted under this IPMA. All Seattle Confidential Information used, disclosed, or copied by the Houston Group as of or prior to the Distribution Time in the ordinary course of business consistent with past practice shall be deemed to be so used, disclosed, or copied in furtherance of the exercise of the rights granted under this IPMA, provided that such use, disclosure, or copying is consistent with the licenses granted under this IPMA. Each Party shall use, as a minimum, the same degree of care as it uses to protect its own Confidential Information of a similar nature, but no less than reasonable care, to prevent the unauthorized use, disclosure or publication of the other Party’s Confidential Information. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing:

(a) Each Party shall only disclose the other Party’s Confidential Information to its employees or any individual or entity that (i) is a sublicensee to which rights are sublicensed as permitted under this IPMA, or (ii) has a bona fide need to access the other Party’s Confidential Information consistent with such Party’s rights under this IPMA, in each case, (A) pursuant to confidentiality obligations no less restrictive than the obligations imposed by the Seattle Business prior to the Distribution Date and (B) to the extent necessary to exercise its rights or perform its obligations under this IPMA in accordance with the terms and conditions of this IPMA.

(b) Each Party shall affix to any copies it makes of any of the other Party’s Confidential Information, all proprietary notices or legends affixed to the other Party’s Confidential Information as they appear on the copies of the other Party’s Confidential Information originally received from the other Party.

Section 6.2 Exclusions. Each Party shall not be bound by obligations restricting disclosure set forth in this IPMA with respect to any of the other Party’s Confidential Information which:

(a) was lawfully in the public domain prior to its disclosure, or lawfully becomes publicly available other than through a breach of this IPMA or any other confidentiality obligation in respect of such information;

(b) was disclosed to the recipient by a third party, provided such third party, or any other party from whom such third party receives such information, is not in breach of any confidentiality obligation in respect of such information; or

(c) is independently developed by the recipient without the use of or reference to any of such other Party’s Confidential Information, as evidenced by its business records.

Section 6.3 Court Compelled Disclosures. Each Party shall be excused from the confidentiality obligations with respect to disclosure of the other Party’s Confidential Information solely to the extent such disclosure is compelled pursuant to legal, judicial, or administrative proceedings, or otherwise required by law, but solely to the extent required thereby, provided that such Party advises the other Party of any such disclosure in a timely manner prior to making any such disclosure (so that the other Party can apply for such legal protection as may be available with respect to the confidentiality of the information which is to be disclosed), and provided that such Party shall apply for such legal protection as may be reasonably available with respect to the confidentiality of the other Party’s Confidential Information which is required to be disclosed. Notwithstanding such compelled disclosure, the applicable Confidential Information of the other Party shall remain subject to the confidentiality obligations in this Article VI (Confidentiality) in all other contexts.

Nothing in this Section 8.5 (No Challenge) shall preclude either Party or any of its Subsidiaries from providing documents, information, and/or testimony in compliance with any subpoena duly served upon such Party or such Subsidiary or any order by a Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over such Party or such Subsidiary.

Unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, no assignment or transfer made pursuant to this Section 10.1 (Assignment) shall release the Assigning Party from any of its liabilities under this IPMA that accrued prior to the assignment or transfer of this IPMA. This IPMA shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and be enforceable by (and against) each Party and its successors and permitted transferees and assigns.

Section 10.2 Sale of All or Part of a Business (Assignment).

(d) except to the extent, following the assignment or transfer, the business or business or product line, as applicable, is operated as a separate business from the then‑existing business of the Acquiror (in which case such separate business shall be subject to all the restrictions on license scope as provided in Article III (Licenses from Houston to Seattle), or the license scope as provided in Article IV (Licenses from Seattle to Houston) and the scope of the CNTS as provided in Article XI (Covenant Not to Xxx), as the case may be, and the other subsections of this Section 10.2 (Sale of All or Part of a Business (Assignment)) (but not this Section 10.2(d))), the licenses and CNTS granted to the Acquiror and its Subsidiaries as a result of such assignment or transfer shall be limited to:

(i) the operation of the Assigning Party’s and its Subsidiaries’ business or the business or product line, respectively, as conducted as of the effective date of the assignment or transfer, and natural evolutions, expansions, and extensions thereof; and

(ii) the products, services and processes of the Assigning Party’s and its Subsidiaries’ business or business or product line, respectively:

(A) that are included within or covered by the Seattle Licensed Activities or Houston Licensed Activities, as applicable, as of the effective date of the assignment or transfer; and

(B) (x) that are commercially released or available by or on behalf of the Assigning Party or any of its Subsidiaries as of such date, (y) that are under development by or on behalf of the Assigning Party as of such date and are released, made available, or otherwise commercialized within twelve (12) months thereafter, or (z) for which the Assigning Party or any of its Subsidiaries has otherwise taken substantial steps to commercialize as of the such date, in each case of clauses (x) through (z), including Natural Evolutions of such products, services and processes;

(e) the Intellectual Property Rights of the Non-Assigning Party that are subject to the license (or, in the case of Houston, the CNTS) granted to the Acquiror shall be limited to Intellectual Property Rights licensed to the Assigning Party pursuant to Article III (Licenses from Houston to Seattle) or licensed to the Assigning Party pursuant to Article IV (Licenses from Seattle to Houston) or subject to the CNTS granted in Article XI (Covenant Not to Xxx), as the case may be; and

(f) if the Acquiror and the Non-Assigning Party are, as of the effective date of the assignment or transfer, party to an active litigation, arbitration, or other formal dispute resolution proceeding pursuant to which the Acquiror alleges that the Non-Assigning Party is infringing or misappropriating any Intellectual Property Rights owned by the Acquiror, then the licenses (and, in the case of Houston, the CNTS) granted to the Acquiror pursuant to this IPMA following such assignment or transfer shall be suspended and not effective; provided, however, that (i) such licenses (and, in the case of Houston, CNTS) shall cease to be so suspended and not effective (and shall become effective, automatically and without further action) immediately upon the cessation of such litigation, arbitration, or proceeding (whether by settlement, entry of a final, non-appealable order, or otherwise)), provided, that, for the avoidance of doubt, such CNTS shall not apply with respect to the period of such suspension, and (ii) this Section 10.2(f) shall in no way affect or otherwise result in the suspension of any rights or part of this IPMA not assigned or transferred to the Acquiror.

ARTICLE XI

COVENANT NOT TO XXX

Section 11.1 Covenant Not to Xxx. Effective as of immediately after the Distribution Time, Seattle (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) hereby agrees not to Assert against Houston or any other member of the Houston Group any of the Autonomy IP that would have been licensed to Houston under Article IV (Licenses from Seattle to Houston) if and to the extent the Autonomy IP were included in the Seattle Licensed IPR (and the Autonomy Patents were included in the Seattle Licensed Patents), subject to the terms and conditions of Article IV (Licenses from Seattle to Houston) with respect to such Autonomy IP, mutatis mutandis, and, for the avoidance of doubt, solely with respect to and to the extent of the conduct and scope that would have otherwise been licensed under Article IV (Licenses from Seattle to Houston) at the time thereof had such Autonomy IP been so licensed as part of the Seattle Licensed IPR and for the period of time such license would have been granted (such agreement not to Assert, the “CNTS”).

Section 11.2 Obligation to Transfer. If Miami, Seattle, or any of their respective Subsidiaries transfers, assigns, sells, or divests any of the Autonomy IP, then Seattle shall (or shall cause Miami or such Subsidiary, as applicable) ensure that the transferee, assignee, buyer, or divestee (whether or not such Person is Miami, Seattle, or any of their respective Subsidiaries) agrees in writing, on behalf of itself and each of its Affiliates who may have any right to Assert such Autonomy IP, to assume all the obligations of Section 11.1 (Covenant Not to Xxx) (including the agreement not to Assert in Section 11.1 (Covenant Not to Xxx)) and this Section 11.2 (Obligation to Transfer) with respect to such Autonomy IP for the benefit of Houston and each other member of the Houston Group. In addition to Miami’s, Seattle’s and their respective Subsidiaries’ obligations in the preceding sentence, each and every subsequent and successive transfer, assignment, sale or divestment of any of the Autonomy IP by any Person other than Miami, Seattle, or any of their respective Subsidiaries (such Person in each and every subsequent and successive transfer, assignment, sale or divestment, an “Autonomy IP Transferee”) is conditioned on the Autonomy IP Transferee obtaining the subsequent Autonomy IP Transferee’s agreement in writing, on behalf of itself and each of such subsequent Autonomy IP Transferee’s Affiliates who may have any right to Assert such Autonomy IP, to assume all the obligations of Section 11.1 (Covenant Not to Xxx) (including the agreement not to Assert in Section 11.1 (Covenant Not to Xxx)) and this Section 11.2 (Obligation to Transfer) (other than the first sentence thereof) with respect to such Autonomy IP for the benefit of Houston and each other member of the Houston Group. For the avoidance of doubt, (a) Seattle’s sole and exclusive liability, and Houston’s sole and exclusive remedy, for any breach of this Section 11.2 (Obligation to Transfer) by Miami, Seattle, or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be one, or more or all of the following: (i) the right to the assert the CNTS as a defense to any claim of infringement or misappropriation Asserted by Seattle, Miami, or any of their respective Subsidiaries, (ii) the exercise of Section 11.3 (Indemnification), to the extent applicable, and (iii) the exercise of Section 11.4 (Springing License), to the extent applicable and (b) none of Miami, Seattle, or any of their respective Subsidiaries shall be responsible or liable for any act or omission of any Autonomy IP Transferee in connection with (i) this Article XI (Covenant Not to Xxx), (ii) any failure of the CNTS to transfer with or encumber any Autonomy IP notwithstanding any such written agreement, or (iii) any failure of any Autonomy IP to be licensed in accordance with Section 11.4 (Springing License).

Section 11.3 Indemnification. Seattle shall (a) defend each of the Houston Indemnified Parties from and against any and all third party claims by an Autonomy IP Transferee against a Houston Indemnified Party alleging that a Houston Indemnified Party is, following the Effective Date, infringing or misappropriating any Autonomy IP, but only if a Seattle Trigger (as defined in Section 11.4 (Springing License)) has occurred, and (b) indemnify and hold harmless such Houston Indemnified Party by paying all awarded attorneys’ fees, judgments (including interest and penalties), and settlement amounts incurred by such Houston Indemnified Party that directly arise out any such third party claim, but only if such Springing License was so triggered and both the CNTS and Springing License are held to be unenforceable. Article VI (Indemnification, Guarantees and Litigation) of the Separation Agreement shall apply to this Section 11.3 (Indemnification), mutatis mutandis, as applicable.

Section 11.4 Springing License. Solely in the event (a) Miami, Seattle, or any of their respective Subsidiaries breaches their respective obligations under the first sentence of Section 11.2 (Obligation to Transfer) (the “Seattle Trigger”), (b) any subsequent or successive Autonomy IP Transferee breaches its obligations under Section 11.2 (Obligation to Transfer), (c) the CNTS otherwise fails to transfer with any Autonomy IP or otherwise be enforceable, or (d) of any breach of Section 11.1 (Covenant Not to Xxx), such Autonomy IP will be deemed licensed to Houston and each of the other members of the Houston Group as a part of (and with the same scope and in accordance with all of the terms and conditions of) the licenses granted pursuant to Article IV (Licenses from Seattle to Houston), with such license of such Autonomy IP effective as of immediately prior to the date that Miami, Seattle or any of their Subsidiaries transferred, assigned, sold or divested such Autonomy IP and with the Autonomy Patents being deemed to be Seattle Licensed Patents for the purposes of such licenses (the “Springing License”). For the avoidance of doubt, (A) such Springing License is deemed to be (i) granted by Seattle (on behalf of itself and its Subsidiaries) under all of the terms and conditions of this IPMA applicable to the licenses granted pursuant to Article IV (Licenses from Seattle to Houston) and (ii) an encumbrance that attaches to the Autonomy IP, and (B) in the event that Miami, Seattle or any of their respective Subsidiaries breaches the first sentence of Section 11.1 (Covenant Not to Xxx) in any respect, the Springing License shall not be construed as a waiver of Houston or any member of the Houston Group’s right to assert the CNTS as a defense to any claim of infringement or misappropriation Asserted by Seattle, Miami, or any of their respective Subsidiaries.
