17.18 Remedies:

 

  17.18.1 Problem Resolution: After receiving the notice contemplated by Clause
17.13 , Supplier’s Technical Assistance Center (“TAC”) will notify Vodafone of
its designation of one of the following problem resolution methods:

 

  (i) Return to Factory: The allegedly defective hardware, at the field
replacement unit (“FRU”) level, must be returned to Supplier in accordance with
Supplier’s Return to Factory repair procedures. Repaired or replacement FRU’s
will be shipped within [*] of receipt of the defective FRU. There is a no
trouble found (“NTF”) charge for FRU’s returned under warranty which are found
not to be defective.

 

  (ii) Other: TAC will use best efforts to provide, on a non-priority basis,
repair, correction or workaround of the problem by means of telephone support,
including patches, corrective software releases or other means reasonably
determined by Supplier.

 

21 of 40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Under the Return to Factory alternative, if a Product is determined not to be
defective or to have a defect due to causes not within Supplier’s reasonable
control, Supplier’s then current repair price as listed in the price list will
apply. The problem resolution provided pursuant to the support and maintenance
agreement entered into pursuant to Clause 17 hereof shall be additional to that
provided in this Clause 17.18.1.

 

17.18.2 Warranty Repair (Return to Factory): If TAC designates Return to Factory
as the appropriate problem resolution method, the following provisions apply.

 

  (a) During the [*] of the warranty period, Supplier may at its option provide
an advance replacement of a defective FRU. Supplier will repair or replace
defective FRU hardware covered under warranty [*] of receipt of the Product. The
warranty period for the replaced product shall be [*] or the remainder of the
warranty period of the original unit, whichever is greater. Supplier will ship
surface freight. Expedited freight is at Vodafone’s expense.

 

  (b) Vodafone, in such event, must return the defective Product to Supplier
within [*] of receipt of the replacement product. If the defective Product is
not returned within this time period, Supplier will bill Vodafone for the
Product at list price, less Vodafone discount, if applicable. The warranty
repair procedures provided under the support and maintenance agreement entered
into pursuant to Clause 17 hereof shall be additional to that provided in this
Clause 17.18.2.

 

17.18.3 Failure to meet Specification: If during the Warranty Period, Vodafone
gives Supplier notice stating that any [*] fails to comply with the
Specification therefor at the time of the supply of such [*] to Vodafone
(“Defective Solution Element”) and Supplier’s efforts to repair or replace such
Solution Element have not resulted in such Solution Element complying with such
Specification, Supplier shall, at its option:

 

  (a) [*]

 

  (b) [*]

 

[*] under this Clause 17.18.3(a) above shall be [*] always that in the event
that Vodafone has not exercised such [*] the earlier of [*] prior to the end of
[*], Vodafone at it’s sole option may require and Supplier shall [*] of such
request. Vodafone may use, or continue to use, [*] for commercial purposes and
the [*] shall apply until such time as the Solution Element complies with the
Specification.

 

22 of 40

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

  17.18.4 To the extent that any Solution Element does not comply to
Specification therefor at the time of the supply of such Solution Element to
Vodafone then Supplier shall continue to provide support in accordance the terms
of the support and maintenance agreement between Supplier and Vodafone, but
without prejudice to any other rights of Vodafone with respect to such breach of
warranty.

 

  17.18.5 Out-of-Warranty Repair (Hardware): Supplier will either repair or, at
its option, replace defective Product hardware not covered under warranty within
[*] of its receipt. Repair charges are available from the Repair Facility upon
request. The warranty on a serviced Product is [*] from date of shipment of the
serviced unit. Out-of-warranty repair charges are based upon the prices in
effect at the time of return. The out-of-warranty repair procedures provided
under the support and maintenance agreement entered into pursuant to Clause 17
hereof shall be additional to that provided in this Clause 17.18.5.

 

18. CONFIDENTIALITY

 

18.1 Each party shall keep confidential and shall not copy, issue or in any way
use or disclose to any third party any documents or other information whatsoever
obtained or received by it from the other party arising out of or in connection
with this Agreement (“Confidential Information”), unless otherwise authorised by
the prior written consent of the other party. This provision shall not apply to
information (a) disclosed by Vodafone to any other Vodafone Group Company,
provided that such company agrees to be bound by these confidentiality terms in
writing or (b) manifestly in the public domain or (c) that is required to be
disclosed by law, regulation, regulatory authority, legal process, or the rules
of any stock market on which the securities of either party are listed or quoted
for trading.

 

18.2 Subject to Clause 18.1(c) above, neither party shall, without the prior
written consent of the other, advertise or disclose or allow to be advertised or
disclosed to any third party, its entry into this Agreement or any details
thereof. Such consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed.

 

18.3 Notwithstanding the termination of this Agreement for whatever reason, the
obligations of confidentiality shall, unless otherwise agreed, continue for a
period of [*] from such termination of this Agreement.

part of the Solution with any other Computer Programs or documentation except in

Notwithstanding the above, title to the Licensed Programs shall never pass to
Vodafone and shall always remain with Supplier.

 

19.3 All shipments with destinations outside of the US shall be subject to

documentation and assistance reasonably necessary to ensure US export control
compliance.

acknowledges that it shall have no right, license or interest in any of the
patents, designs, copyrights, trademarks, or trade secrets owned, used or
claimed now by Supplier. All applicable rights to such patents, designs,
copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets are and will remain the exclusive
property of Supplier. Subject to the rights expressly granted to Vodafone by

indemnify and hold Vodafone harmless from and against all final awards of
damages based upon claims and judicial or governmental determinations that the
Solution as delivered by Supplier under this Agreement infringes or
misappropriates any United States or other applicable patent rights, copyrights,
trade secrets, or trademarks. Supplier’s obligation hereunder is predicated upon
Vodafone’s prompt notification to Supplier of any actual or threatened claim,
Vodafone’s full co-operation, at Supplier’s expense, in the defence thereof and
the granting to Supplier of the sole control over the defence or settlement of
the claim.

 

21.4 In the event that the use or sale of all or any portion of the Solution is
enjoined, or, in Supplier’s judgement, may be enjoined, as a result of a suit
based on alleged infringement or misappropriation of the third party
intellectual property rights, Supplier agrees to either: (i) procure for
Vodafone the right to continue to use the Product, or (ii) replace or modify the
infringing or misappropriating Product so that it becomes non-infringing. Upon
Supplier’s fulfilment of the alternatives set out in this Clause and Clause
21.1, Supplier shall be relieved of any further obligation or liability to
Vodafone as a result of any such infringement or misappropriation.

 

21.5 Regardless of any other provisions of this Agreement, Clause 21 shall not
apply (i) to any designs, specifications or modifications originating with or
requested by Vodafone subsequent to the Specification as agreed at the effective
date of this Agreement, or (ii) to the combination of any Solution Element with
other equipment, software or products not supplied by Supplier if such
infringement or misappropriation would not have occurred but for such
combination, or (iii) Vodafone’s failure to install an update provided at no
additional charge, where the update would have avoided the infringement claim.

 

21.6 THIS CLAUSE 21 STATES VODAFONE’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR ANY
INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF ANY THIRD PARTY PATENT RIGHTS, COPYRIGHTS,
TRADE SECRETS, TRADEMARKS OR ANY OTHER INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS.

suffering party shall notify the other party of the same immediately.
