against Blue Martini. If Consultant has any such rights that cannot be assigned

irrevocable, perpetual license to use, reproduce, distribute, create derivative
works of, publicly perform and publicly display the Work Product in any medium
or format, whether now known of later developed.

 

3.3 Representations and Warranties. Consultant represents and warrants that: (a)

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

in Section 3 (including without limitation the right to assign any Work Product

knowledge, the Work Product will not infringe upon any copyright, patent,
trademark, right of publicity or privacy, or any other proprietary right of any

course of performing services under this Agreement. No part of Consultant’s

proprietary or confidential information of any third party who may disclose such
information to Blue Martini or Consultant in the course of Blue Martini’s
business. Consultant’s obligations set forth in this Section 6 shall not apply
with respect to any portion of the Confidential Information that Consultant can
document by competent proof that such portion: (a) was in the public domain at
the time it was communicated to Consultant by Blue Martini; (b) entered the
public domain through no fault of Consultant, subsequent to the time it was
communicated to Consultant by Blue Martini; (c) was in Consultant’s possession

and without reference to any information communicated to Consultant by Blue
Martini; or (f) was communicated by Blue Martini to an unaffiliated third party
free of any obligation of confidence. In addition, Consultant may disclose Blue

8.2 Termination by Blue Martini. Blue Martini may terminate this Agreement or
any Project Assignment: (i) upon thirty (30) days written notice in the event of
a material breach by Consultant of this Agreement or any Project Assignment,
provided that, such breach remains uncured at the end of such thirty (30) day

written consent. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be for the
benefit of Blue Martini’s successors and assigns, and will be binding on
Consultant’s assignees.

writing and shall be delivered as follows with notice deemed given as indicated:
(i) by personal delivery when delivered personally; (ii) by overnight courier

of the United States of America and by the laws of the State of California, as
such laws are applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely

enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall not be
affected or impaired thereby.

 

10.5 Waiver. The waiver by Blue Martini of a breach of any provision of this
Agreement by Consultant shall not operate or be construed as a waiver of any
other or subsequent breach by Consultant.

 

10.6 Injunctive Relief for Breach. Consultant’s obligations under this Agreement
are of a unique character that gives them particular value; breach of any of
such obligations will result in irreparable and continuing damage to Blue
Martini for which there will be no adequate remedy at law; and, in the event of
such breach, Blue Martini will be entitled to injunctive relief and/or a decree
for specific performance, and such other and further relief as may be proper
(including monetary damages if appropriate).

 

10.7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between
the parties

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

relating to this subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral
or written agreements concerning such subject matter. The terms of this
Agreement will govern all services undertaken by Consultant for Blue Martini;
provided, however, that in the event of any conflict between the terms of this
Agreement and any Project Assignment, the terms of the applicable Project
Assignment will control. This Agreement may only be changed by mutual agreement
of authorized representatives of the parties in writing.
