Limitation of Remedies and Damages. ANY LIABILITY OF KANA WILL BE LIMITED ---------------------------------- TO PRODUCT REPLACEMENT OR, IF REPLACEMENT IS INADEQUATE OR IN KANA'S OPINION IMPRACTICAL, TO REFUND OF THE LICENSE FEE. KANA SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE OR LIABLE WITH RESPECT TO ANY SUBJECT MATTER OF THIS AGREEMENT OR TERMS AND CONDITIONS RELATED THERETO UNDER ANY CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER THEORY (A) FOR LOSS OR INACCURACY OF DATA OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, SERVICES OR TECHNOLOGY, OR (B) FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO LOSS OF REVENUES, LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OR INACCURACY OF DATA OR COST OF PROCUREMENT OF SUBSTITUTE GOODS, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF KANA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO EVENT WILL KANA'S LIABILITY EXCEED THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE SOFTWARE. KANA SHALL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY MATTER BEYOND ITS REASONABLE CONTROL. Because some jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of liability of consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply. 11. Government Use. -------------- If Customer is a unit or agency of the government, or acquiring the Software with government funds, the software and documentation are provided subject to Kana's standard commercial license; provided, however, that any contracts with non-defense agencies subject to the FAR, the Government shall have the rights set forth in subparagraph (c) of FAR 52.227-19, "Commercial Computer Software- Restricted Rights," as applicable. 12.

In any action to enforce this Agreement the prevailing party will be entitled to costs and attorneys' fees. 14. Equitable Relief. Customer acknowledges and agrees that due to the unique ---------------- nature of Kana's Proprietary Information, there can be no adequate remedy at law for any breach of its obligations hereunder, that any such breach may allow Customer or third parties to unfairly compete with Kana resulting in irreparable harm to Kana and, therefore, that upon any such breach or threat thereof, Kana shall be entitled to injunctions and other appropriate equitable relief, in addition to whatever remedies it may have at law. 15.

Any notice, report, approval or consent required or permitted ------ hereunder shall be in writing and will be deemed to have been effectively given: (i) immediately upon personal delivery or facsimile transmission to the parties to be notified, (ii) one (1) day after deposit with a commercial overnight courier with tracking capabilities, or (iii) three (3) days after deposit with the United States Postal Service, by registered or certified mail, postage prepaid to the respective addresses of the parties as set forth above. 16. Waiver. The waiver by either party of a breach of this Agreement or any ------ right hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any subsequent breach of this Agreement; nor shall any delay by either party to exercise any right under this Agreement operate as a waiver of any such right. If any provision of this Agreement shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement shall otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. 17. BASIS OF BARGAIN. EACH PARTY RECOGNIZES AND AGREES THAT THE WARRANTY ---------------- DISCLAIMERS AND LIABILITY AND REMEDY LIMITATIONS IN THIS AGREEMENT ARE MATERIAL BARGAINED FOR BASES OF THIS AGREEMENT AND THAT THEY HAVE BEEN TAKEN INTO ACCOUNT AND REFLECTED IN DETERMINING THE CONSIDERATION TO BE GIVEN BY EACH PARTY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT AND IN THE DECISION BY EACH PARTY TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT. 18.
