3.8 On-Site Service. If Spectradyne, Spectradyne's customer or an EDS Field
Service representative (performing his or her obligations under this
Agreement or the Phase I Agreement) determines that a Digitally Based Video
On Demand System is not operating properly, the person discovering such
problem may request On-Site Service by calling EDS' Customer Assistance
Center (as such term is defined in the Phase I Agreement) (a "Service
Request"). All Service Requests will include the location of the Digitally
Based Video On Demand System, a description of the problem, a contact name
and corresponding telephone number, and any other pertinent information for
each Digitally Based Video On Demand System.
(a) Time of Performance of Hardware Services. EDS will perform On-Site
Services on the Digitally Based Video On Demand System identified in a
Service Request. On-Site Services will be initiated between the hours
of 7:00 a.m. and 12:00 a.m. (midnight) according to that site's local
time, Monday through Sunday (the "Coverage Time"). If On-Site
Services cannot be initiated during the Coverage Time, or if it is not
commercially reasonable to initiate such On-Site Services within the
Coverage Time (for example and without limitation, the Service Request
is received at 11:45 pm and the distance to the site of the Digitally
Based Video On Demand System is 45 minutes from the field service
office), such On-Site Services will be initiated at 7:00 a.m. the next
day or as soon thereafter as commercially reasonable efforts permit.
(i) Upon EDS' receipt of a Service Request, EDS will use commercially
reasonable efforts to have an authorized EDS representative
arrive at the Digitally Based Video On Demand System requiring
On-Site Services (other than those Digitally Based Video On
Demand Systems located at the sites set forth in Schedule 3.8(a)
(i), as amended from time to time upon the mutual agreement of
Spectradyne and EDS, which Schedule will include the applicable
response times for such sites therein) within four hours after
the authorized EDS representative is notified of such Service
Request.
(ii) EDS will use commercially reasonable efforts to restore the
functionality of the Digitally Based Video On Demand System
within 24 hours after the arrival of the authorized EDS
representative at the Digitally Based Video On Demand System
requiring On-Site Services.
(b) Parts. EDS will maintain, at Spectradyne's cost, a supply of spare
parts inventories in accordance with the failure rates, repair times
and spare part replenishment recommendations published by the
applicable Vendor. To the extent that EDS is the manufacturer of any
component of DBVODS Hardware, EDS will maintain a supply
10
of spares in accordance with industry standards for microcomputer
products until such time as EDS can determine a performance-based
standard, at which time EDS will store spare parts in -accordance with
such performance-based standard. All such parts will remain the
property of EDS until incorporated into the Digitally Based Video On
Demand System. If EDS stores spare parts on Spectradyne's premises (or
the premises of a customer of Spectradyne), EDS may remove them at any
time. When a part is removed from Digitally Based Video On Demand
System and another is installed, the part removed will be examined by
EDS to determine whether or not it is, in EDS' sole determination,
commercially practicable to refurbish such part. If EDS determines
that it is commercially practicable to refurbish such part, EDS will
refurbish such part, at Spectradyne's cost, and will return such
refurbished part to the inventory of spare parts for use at a later
time by EDS in repairing DBVODS Hardware. If EDS determines that it is
not commercially practicable to refurbish such part, EDS will return
such part to Spectradyne. Once integrated into DBVODS Hardware, title
to all such spare parts will transfer from EDS to Spectradyne and will
remain in Spectradyne even if removed, refurbished (and reinstalled or
placed in the spare parts inventory) or returned to Spectradyne.
(c) Subcontracting. EDS represents and Spectradyne acknowledges that EDS
may subcontract Service Requests to third parties to perform such
repairs. In such event, EDS will, nonetheless, be responsible for
such subcontractor's compliance with EDS' obligations under this
Agreement.
(d) General Obligations of Spectradyne. To the extent permitted under the
applicable agreements between Spectradyne and Spectradyne's customers,
Spectradyne will (i) provide safe, clean and adequate work spaces in
each location, including heat, light, ventilation, electric current
and outlets for use by EDS and its representatives and (ii) provide or
cause to be provided to EDS and its representatives full and free
access to the Digitally Based Video On Demand System and any other
Hardware or Software or other items pertaining to the Digitally Based
Video On Demand System necessary for EDS to properly perform On-Site
Services (and to the extent that such access is not provided by
Spectradyne, EDS will be relieved of its obligations related to On-
Site Service set forth in this Agreement). Spectradyne will not
perform any other repairs, maintenance, alterations, or adjustments of
or to any Digitally Based Video On Demand System. To the extent that
Spectradyne or a customer of Spectradyne performs any such repairs as
a result of an emergency or as a result of EDS' failure to comply with
the response times set forth in Section 3.8(a) of this Agreement, EDS
will be relieved of all responsibility and liability for any such
DBVODS
11
Hardware so repaired from the date of such repair and until EDS
has an opportunity to correct, if necessary, any such repairs (which
correction will be subject to EDS' then current time and materials
charge). After such correction, if any, is made by EDS, EDS'
obligations under this Agreement with regard to such DBVODS Hardware
will resume.
All charges for On-Site Services are for a period of five years
commencing on the date on which the Digitally Based Video On Demand
System is installed and ending on the fifth anniversary of such
installation date (and EDS' obligation to perform On-Site Services on
the Digitally Based Video On Demand System will continue in effect
even if such five-year 'period continues past the expiration of this
Agreement) and are set forth in Schedule 5.1 of this Agreement. On or
before the fifth anniversary of the installation date of each
Digitally Based Video On Demand System, Spectradyne will notify EDS of
Spectradyne's intention to either (i) extend, subject to EDS' then
current charges, the On-Site Services or (ii) refresh, subject to the
applicable charges, the technology by obtaining and installing a new
Digitally Based Video On Demand System. All charges for all On-Site
Services to repair Digitally Based Video On Demand Systems during the
warranty period are included in the On-Site Service charge set forth
in Schedule 5.1 of this Agreement.

license may state that a condition precedent to Spectradyne's obligations
under such license is the breaking of such packaging. Spectradyne agrees,
whether or not Spectradyne has broken such packaging, to comply with the
terms and conditions of such license agreement.
12
Neither Spectradyne nor EDS will have any obligation to control or audit
the Software resident on any Hardware operated by any employee of the
other, and Spectradyne and EDS are each and will each remain liable to any
Vendor for any unauthorized copies made by any of its employees of any
Vendor Software.
4.2 EDS Software. All Software developed under Section 2.3 of this Agreement
and provided to Spectradyne under this Agreement will be construed as
Developed Software, and Spectradyne and EDS will (with respect to EDS
Software) have the rights set forth in Section 4.4 of this Agreement and in
section 11.4 and Section 11.5 of the Phase I Agreement; except that,
notwithstanding such provisions in the Phase I Agreement (i) each copy of
EDS Software will be subject to 'the license fee set forth in Section 5.1
of this Agreement and (ii) the term of the license will be specific to each
copy licensed by Spectradyne from EDS, which term will begin on the date
EDS installs such copy of EDS Software in the Digitally Based Video on
Demand System and will continue for so long as Spectradyne pays license
fees set forth in Schedule 5.1, unless terminated as set forth in Section
11.4 or Section 11.5 of the Phase I Agreement.
4.3 Spectradyne Software. To the extent that Spectradyne provides Spectradyne
Software to EDS under this Agreement for EDS' use in performing its
obligations under this Agreement, Spectradyne and EDS will have all rights
and obligations regarding such Spectradyne Software set forth in Section
11.3 of the Phase I Agreement.
4.4 Cross-License of Patent Rights. Spectradyne and EDS will each have the
following rights:
(a) Grant of License to Use. Spectradyne and EDS each grant to the other
and their Affiliates (as defined in the Phase I Agreement) an
exclusive license (in the markets described in Section 11.9 of the
Phase I Agreement), other than use by EDS of EDS' Patent Rights or
Other Intellectual Property Rights to comply with its obligations to
Spectradyne under this Agreement and the Phase I Agreement,
transferable (in accordance with Section 4.4(c) of this Agreement) in
and to each other's worldwide Patent Rights, now owned or hereafter
acquired prior to the expiration of this Agreement (defined as all
Letters Patent, patent applications, divisionals, reissues,
continuations and continuations-in-part (i) with regard to
Spectradyne's Patent Rights, related to or arising out the Products
and any hardware or software used in conjunction with Products
provided by EDS under this Agreement and (ii) with regard to EDS'
Patent Rights, related to or arising out of Products provided by EDS
under this Agreement) and Other Intellectual Property Rights, whether
now owned or hereafter acquired prior to the expiration or termination
of this Agreement, (defined as (i) trade secrets, (ii) any
13
registered or unregistered copyrights; provided that attribution is
made to the owner of the registered or unregistered copyright and
(iii) any trade name, trade mark and service mark in accordance with
each party's internal manuals, which use of such trade name, trade
mark and service mark will be subject to the owner's prior written
consent, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or
conditioned) to use (and not to make, copy or sell) such hardware,
software (to the extent that such right to use relates to Software
that is patented, such use will be in accordance with Section 4.1,
Section 4.2 or Section 4.3 of this Agreement, as the case may be) and
Products, as the case may be, during the term of this Agreement.
(b) Transfer and Sublicense. If either Spectradyne or EDS desires to
transfer or sublicense the license granted to it hereunder, it will
provide the non-transferring party with a written request (the
"Request"), and such Request will be approved or rejected by the non-
transferring party as follows:
(i) As to transfers of the rights and obligations under Section
4.4(a) of this Agreement other than sublicenses described in
Section 4.4(b)(ii) below, such Request will set forth the name of
the transferee, the transferee's contact person and such other
information as the non-transferring party may reasonably request.
The non-transferring party will approve or reject such Request in
writing within 30 days after the date on which such party
receives such Request in accordance with Section 7.1 of this
Agreement, which writing, in the case of a rejection, will set
forth the reason(s) for such rejection. Neither party will have
the right to pledge, make collateral assignments or
hypothecations of the other party's Patent Rights or Other
Intellectual Property Rights.
(ii) As to sublicenses of the rights and obligations under Section
4.4(a) of this Agreement (meaning for the purposes of this
Agreement an extension to a third party of rights and obligations
mutually agreed to by Spectradyne and EDS and set forth in a
sublicense agreement between the transferring party and such
third party and that does not divest the transferring party of
any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement), such
Request will include the name of the proposed sublicensee, the
rights the transferring party desires to convey to the transferee
in such sublicense, the geographic marketplace, the duration of
such sublicense, the price to be paid to the non-transferring
party as consideration for the non-transferring party's
permission to convey the rights set forth in such sublicense and
all other rights to be conveyed in such
14
sublicense. The non-transferring party will, in its sole
discretion, approve or deny such Request within 30 days after the
date of such Request. No sublicense will be valid without the
prior written consent of the non-transferring party.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, EDS consents to the sublicense of
all rights and obligations under Section 4.4(a) from EDS to
Spectradyne for end users located in North America for use by
such end users in accordance with this Agreement and the Phase I
Agreement.
(c) Initiation of Actions and Distribution of Collected Judgement Amounts.
If a patent owner prosecutes or litigates a claim, demand or other
proceeding and pays all costs and expenses related to such claim, the
patent owner will be entitled to all amounts awarded and collected.
If EDS elects to make a claim, demand or otherwise initiate any
proceeding against a third party named in Section 11.9(b) of the Phase
I Agreement or any other third party in the markets (meaning for the
use described in the geographic areas described) protected in
Section 11.9(a) for an infringement of EDS' Patent Rights or Other
Intellectual Property Rights related to any Product, Spectradyne and
EDS will mutually agree on the amount of the costs that Spectradyne
and EDS will bear in such prosecution or litigations or if no such
agreement is reached or can be reached, Spectradyne may (with regard
only to such markets protected in Section 11.9(a) or such third
parties named in Section 11.9(b)) pursue the claim at its own cost and
expense. If Spectradyne elects not to prosecute or litigate a claim,
demand or other proceeding against a third party for an infringement
of Spectradyne's Patent Rights or Other Intellectual Property Rights
related to any hardware, software or Product, EDS may prosecute or
litigate such claim at EDS' sole cost and expense.
If any judgement is collected as a result of a claim, demand or other
proceeding claiming an infringement of Patent Rights in which both
parties pay some of the out-of-pocket expenses (defined as all costs
of the prosecution or litigation, including all legal and professional
fees, all damages awarded, but will not include future royalties, if
any) related to such claim or which is prosecuted or litigated, and
all out-of-pocket expenses are paid, by the party not the patent
owner, the amount collected will be distributed in the following
priority:
(i) each party will be reimbursed the amount of out-of-pocket
expenses it paid from the amount recovered (unless one party paid
all such costs, in which the other party will be reimbursed no
expenses) and
15
(ii) to the extent that any amounts remain, all such amounts
(including without limitation any future royalties and any
amounts remaining from any lump sum award) will be paid to the
patent owner.
If a party other than the patent owner prosecutes or litigates a
claim, demand or other proceeding under this Section 4.4(c), such
party will not settle any such claim without first giving the patent
owner the right to participate in settlement discussions related to
that party's Patent Rights or Other Intellectual Property Rights and
approve or reject such settlement offers.
Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement or in the Phase I
Agreement, either party will have the right to seek injunctive relief
under the Patent Rights and Other Intellectual Property Rights of the
other in the markets described in Section 11.9 of the Phase I
Agreement.
4.5 Warranties. EDS warrants the Products as set forth in Section 8.1 and
Section 8.2 of the Phase I Agreement. In addition to such warranties, to
the extent that EDS is the manufacturer of any component of DBVODS
Hardware, EDS warrants that such component will operate in accordance with
the applicable specifications for a period of 12 months from the date on
which such component is installed.
The warranties contained in Section 8.2(a) and Section 8.2(c) of the Phase
I Agreement and set forth above in this Section 4.5 are contingent upon
proper use of Vendor Hardware and Vendor Software and do not cover Vendor
Hardware or Vendor Software on which the original identification marks have
been removed or altered or that have been modified without EDS' approval,
improperly tested by Spectradyne or that have been subjected to unusual
physical or electrical stress (including without limitation any such stress
which would give rise to an excusable delay under Section 15.2 of the Phase
I Agreement). THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 8.2 OF THE PHASE I
AGREEMENT ARE LIMITED WARRANTIES.
EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY STATED IN SECTION 8.2 OF THE PHASE I AGREEMENT AND
AS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 4.5, EDS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, REGARDING ANY MATTER, INCLUDING THE
MERCHANTABILITY, SUITABILITY, ORIGINALITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR
PURPOSE, OR RESULTS TO BE DERIVED FROM THE USE OF ANY SERVICES, HARDWARE,
SOFTWARE, SIGNAL TRANSMITTED OR OTHER PRODUCTS OR SERVICES PROVIDED UNDER
THIS AGREEMENT. No representation or warranty made by any person,
including any representative of EDS, that is inconsistent or in conflict
with, or in addition to the terms of, the warranties set forth in Section
8.2 of the
16
Phase I Agreement or as set forth above in this Section 4.5 will be binding
upon EDS unless expressed in a writing signed by a duly authorized
representative of EDS.
4.6 Spectradyne's Remedies. Spectradyne will have the remedies set forth in
Section 8.3 of the Phase I Agreement. If such exclusive remedies, fails of
their essential purpose, then as an alternative sole and exclusive remedy,
Spectradyne may recover from EDS, subject to the limitations of Section 6.8
of this Agreement, direct damages incurred by Spectradyne.
4.7 Exclusivity. With regard to the Digitally Based Video On Demand System,
Spectradyne and EDS will have the rights and obligations set forth in
Section 11.9 of the Phase I Agreement.
ARTICLE V
CHARGES AND PAYMENTS TO EDS
5.1 Charges for Products and Services. All charges for Products and services
will be as set forth in Schedule 5.1, as revised upon the mutual agreement
of Spectradyne and EDS from time to time, or as otherwise agreed upon in
writing by the parties.
From and after the date that Digitally Based Video On Demand Systems are
available for wide-scale use, EDS will review its costs and prices for
supplying and maintaining the Digitally Based Video On Demand system twice
a year. If EDS receives cost reductions from Vendors (on Vendor Hardware,
Vendor Software or services) and if EDS determines that, after subtracting
such savings from the then current price of a Digitally Based Video On
Demand System, the cumulative effect of such reductions will result in a
price reduction equal to or greater than [ ] of the then current
price for a Digitally Based Video On Demand System, then EDS will reduce
its price for each Digitally Based Video On Demand System to Spectradyne
from and after the date on which EDS makes such determination by an amount
equal to [ ] of such savings. (For example, suppose that EDS
determines as a result of its review that the cost of a widget required in
the Digitally Based Video On Demand System is reduced from [ ] to [ ]
and all other costs remain the same. EDS will then subtract [ ] from the
price of the Digitally Based Video On Demand System. If the result is
equal to or greater than [ ] less than the then current price for a
Digitally Based Video On Demand System, then EDS will reduce the then
current price for the Digitally Based Video On Demand System by an amount
equal to [ ] (an amount equal to [ ] of the savings.)
5.2 Bonus. Spectradyne will pay EDS a bonus, meaning an amount in addition to
any and all other charges under this Agreement, if EDS makes the Digitally
Based Video On Demand System available for delivery to Spectradyne prior to
the Delivery Date. The amount of the bonus will be as
17
set forth in Section 9.3 of the Phase I Agreement and will be paid to EDS
as set forth in Section 5.3 of this Agreement.
5.3 Payment. Except as otherwise set forth herein, all sums due to EDS
pursuant to this Agreement will be payable within 30 days after receipt by
Spectradyne of an invoice therefor from EDS. EDS will invoice Spectradyne
on or after the applicable installation date for the Products covered by
such invoice. EDS will invoice on a monthly basis for all services
approved by Spectradyne in accordance with the applicable approval
procedures and performed during the prior month. Any sum due EDS hereunder
that is not paid when due will thereafter bear interest until paid at a
rate of interest equal to the lesser of (i) two percent per annum more than
the "prime" rate announced as such from time to time by Citibank N.A., New
York, or successor and (ii) the maximum rate of interest allowed by
applicable law.
5.4 Taxes. Spectradyne will pay to EDS amounts equal to any sales, use,
privilege, excise or other taxes based on gross receipts, however
designated or levied, imposed by any state, federal or local government or
other taxing authority paid or payable by EDS on the (i) charges imposed
under this Agreement, (ii) this Agreement or (iii) any information
technology services, Products, Software, Hardware, other service or
materials provided under this Agreement or upon their use. However,
Spectradyne is not responsible for (i) any franchise taxes, taxes based on
the net income or payroll of EDS or (ii) property taxes on EDS Hardware
unless and until such EDS Hardware becomes the property of Spectradyne.
ARTICLE VI
DISPUTE RESOLUTION, TERMINATION AND
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
6.1 Dispute Resolution. In the event of any dispute or controversy between
the parties of any kind or nature, Spectradyne and EDS will resolve such
dispute or controversy in accordance with the procedures set forth in
Article XII of the Phase I Agreement. To the extent that Spectradyne
claims that EDS is subject to liquidated damages under Section 6.7 of this
Agreement and Spectradyne and EDS submit such issue to arbitration,
Spectradyne and EDS agree that (i) the arbitration proceeding will be
completed and (ii) to the extent EDS is found to have an obligation to pay
such liquidated damages, EDS will pay such liquidated damages in funds
immediately available to Spectradyne, in both cases within 45 days after
the date on which the arbitration panel first convenes.
6.2 Termination for Cause. In the event that either party materially or
repeatedly defaults in the performance of any of its duties or obligations
set forth in this Agreement (other than a default by Spectradyne in payment
to EDS), and such default is not substantially cured within 30 days after
written notice is given to the defaulting party specifying the default,
then the
18
party not in default may, by giving written notice thereof to the
defaulting party, terminate this Agreement as of a date specified in such
notice of termination.
6.3 Termination for Failure to Obtain Unconditional Approvals or Waivers.
Spectradyne's obligations under Section 3.1(d) will become effective only
at such time as Spectradyne obtains the unconditional approvals or waivers,
as the case may be, described in Section 1.2 of the Phase I Agreement. If
Spectradyne is unable to obtain such unconditional approvals or waivers, as
the case may be, on or before October 1, 1993, EDS will have the right to
terminate this Agreement as of October 1, 1993.
6.4 Termination for Insolvency and Related Events. Each party will have the
right to terminate this Agreement in accordance with the provisions of
Section 13.5 of the Phase I Agreement.
6.5 Termination for Nonpayment. In the event that Spectradyne defaults by not
paying when due any amount due to EDS hereunder and does not cure such
default within 10 days after being given written notice of such default,
then EDS may, by giving written notice thereof to Spectradyne, terminate
this Agreement as of the date specified in such notice of termination. In
any event, the obligation of Spectradyne to pay amounts due to EDS in
accordance with the terms and conditions contained herein will survive any
termination of this Agreement.
IN THE EVENT OF A TERMINATION FOR NONPAYMENT PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 6.5
AND IN ADDITION TO ALL OTHER REMEDIES AVAILABLE TO EDS, EDS WILL HAVE THE
RIGHT TO ENTER UPON THE PREMISES WHERE THE PRODUCTS ARE LOCATED, TAKE
POSSESSION OF SUCH PRODUCTS AND REMOVE SUCH PRODUCTS WITH OR WITHOUT
JUDICIAL PROCESS (IF SUCH TAKING WITHOUT JUDICIAL PROCESS CAN BE DONE
REASONABLY AND WITHOUT BREACH OF THE PEACE AND IS PERMITTED BY THE LAWS OF
THE JURISDICTION IN WHICH THE PRODUCTS ARE RESIDENT). SUBJECT TO
SPECTRADYNE'S HAVING RECEIVED ALL NOTICES PROVIDED IN THE FIRST GRAMMATICAL
PARAGRAPH OF THIS SECTION 6.5, SPECTRADYNE DOES HEREBY EXPRESSLY WAIVE ANY
RIGHT TO ANY FURTHER NOTICE, LEGAL PROCESS OR JUDICIAL HEARING PRIOR TO
SUCH REPOSSESSION BY EDS. SPECTRADYNE UNDERSTANDS THAT THE RIGHT TO PRIOR
NOTICE AND HEARING IS A VALUABLE RIGHT AND AGREES TO THE WAIVER THEREOF AS
A PART OF THE CONSIDERATION FOR AND AS AN INDUCEMENT TO EDS TO EXTEND
CREDIT NOW AND HEREAFTER TO SPECTRADYNE. IN CONNECTION WITH SUCH ACTION BY
EDS IN TAKING POSSESSION OF PRODUCTS, EDS MAY TAKE POSSESSION OF ANY
PRODUCTS LOCATED ON SPECTRADYNE'S PREMISES AND HOLD OR STORE SUCH PRODUCTS
FOR SPECTRADYNE AT SPECTRADYNE'S
19
EXPENSE. In addition, EDS may at its option sell, lease or otherwise
dispose of all or any portion of such Products, with the privilege of
becoming the purchaser thereof, at public or private sale, for cash or on
credit and without notice of its intention to do so or of its doing so, in
which event EDS will apply the cash proceeds from any sale or other
disposition less all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the
recovery, repair or storage of such Products or the transaction itself,
against all sums due from Spectradyne to EDS under this Agreement.
In addition to the rights to cure set forth above in this Section 6.5, any
bank, lending institution or other lender described in Section 1.3(bn) of
the Phase I Agreement, or any successor to such bank, lending institution
or other lender, may cure any default under this Section 6.5. If
Spectradyne notifies EDS within three Business Days after the date of EDS'
notice of default that Spectradyne is in active discussions with such a
bank, lending institution or other lender, EDS will extend the cure period
set forth above in this Section 6.5 to 15 Business Days. If such bank,
lending institution or other lender cures such default within such 15-
Business Day period, EDS will, notwithstanding the provisions of Section
6.2 with regard to such default, continue to perform its obligations under
this Agreement without interruption, which continuation will not be
construed as a waiver by EDS of any other right under this Agreement.
6.6 Proprietary Rights Indemnification. EDS and Spectradyne each will, in
accordance with the provisions of Section 14.1(a) and Section 14.2 of the
Phase I Agreement, indemnify, defend and hold harmless the other and each
Affiliate (as such term is defined in Section 1.3(f) of the Phase I
Agreement) of the other from any and all claims, actions, damages,
liabilities, costs and expenses finally awarded by a court of competent
jurisdiction, including reasonable attorneys' fees and expenses, arising
out of, under, or in connection with any claims of misappropriation of a
trade secret, or any claims of direct infringement of any United States
letters patent, or any copyright, trademark, service mark, trade name or
similar proprietary rights alleged to have occurred because of the Hardware
or Software provided by or through the indemnitor. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, EDS will have no such liability if:
(a) Spectradyne uses any Product provided by EDS under this Agreement in a
manner other than for which it was designed,
(b) Spectradyne uses any Product provided by EDS under this Agreement in
combination with hardware or software not provided by EDS under this
Agreement and such infringement would not have occurred but for such
combination,
20
(c) Spectradyne modifies any Product provided by EDS under this Agreement
and such infringement would not have occurred but for such
modification,
(d) Spectradyne uses the Product in the practice of a patented process and
there would be no infringement in the absence of such practice,
(e) such claim arises out of Spectradyne's use of such Products outside of
the scope of the license granted to Spectradyne by EDS,
(f) such claim arises out of EDS' compliance with specifications provided
by Spectradyne to EDS and such infringement would not have occurred
but for such compliance or
(g) such claim for restriction of a business opportunity or alleging
infringement in any country of importation where one does not have to
be an inventor in order to obtain a patent.
Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement or the Phase I
Agreement, neither party will have the right to seek an indemnity from the
other more than the three years the expiration or termination of this
Agreement.
6.7 Liquidated Damages. EDS will pay Spectradyne liquidated damages if (a) EDS
makes the Digitally Based Video On Demand System available for delivery to
Spectradyne (as set forth in Section 2.1) after the Delivery Date or (b) if
(i) EDS fails to deliver the DBVODS Hardware (including the operating
system software for such DBVODS Hardware) for the Digitally Based Video On
Demand System at or less than the price set forth in Schedule 5.1 and (ii)
Spectradyne does not elect to terminate the Phase I Agreement under Section
13.1(b) of the Phase I Agreement as a result of such failure. The amount of
the liquidated damages will be as set forth in Section 14.4(e) and Section
14.4(f), respectively, of the Phase I Agreement.
6.8 Limitation of Liability. Except to the extent included in liquidated
damages under Section 6.7 of this Agreement, EDS will not be liable to
Spectradyne, whether based on an action or claim in contract, equity, tort,
negligence, intended conduct or otherwise, for any amounts representing
loss of income, data, profits or savings or indirect, incidental,
consequential or punitive damages of Spectradyne or any third party, and in
no event (other than as provided under Section 6.7 of this Agreement) will
the amount of damages recoverable against EDS for all events, acts or
omissions exceed the total dollar amount paid by Spectradyne to EDS for the
particular services, Product or Products that are the subject matter of or
are directly related to the cause of action. All amounts paid as damages
under this Agreement will be included in the calculations of limitations of
liability described in Section 14.4(a) and Section 14.4(h) of the Phase I
Agreement. Further, any cause of
21
action must be asserted against either party in accordance with the
provisions of Section 14.5 of the Phase I Agreement. EDS and Spectradyne
expressly acknowledge that the limitations contained in this Section 6.8
have been the subject of active and complete negotiation between EDS and
Spectradyne and represent the parties' agreement based upon the level of
risk to EDS associated with the performance of obligations pursuant to this
Agreement and the payments made by Spectradyne to EDS for such performance.
