	6.	Limitations of Liability 

  

	 	(a)	MS Liability. MS Parties’ liability is limited for each Product. The total cumulative liability (if any) of MS and MS Affiliates to Company under this Agreement, and Company exclusive remedy for any such
liability, shall be limited to Company’s direct damages incurred in reasonable reliance upon MS up to an amount not to exceed *** of the amount paid by Company to MS for that Product under this Agreement. 


This limit includes MS’ duties arising under Section 8 (Intellectual Property Infringement). The liability limit in this

	 	(1)	Company agrees that the MS Parties shall not be liable to Company or to any third party for any of the following:

	 	(iii)	even if any remedies fail of their essential purpose. 

  

	 	(c)	Release. Company releases MS Parties from all liability in excess of the limits in this Section 6 (Limitations of Liability). This release includes any claim for indemnification or contribution even if such
claims arise under local law. 

  

	7.	Product Support

	 	(b)	Company shall provide commercially reasonable support for the Products to OEM Customers. Company shall advise OEM Customers to contact Company for support. 


 

	 	(c)	For the term of this Agreement, Company shall maintain a valid technical support services contract for the Products through Microsoft OEM Services for Embedded Partners or with a third party for an equivalent
level of such services. Instead of such a contract, upon request, MS will verify that Company itself provides an equivalent level of such services. If Company chooses to acquire support through MSCORP, Company agrees that MSCORP may charge
applicable support fees under such contract. 

  

	 	(d)	Upon request, Company shall provide a copy of its current OEM Customer support policy for the Products. Company shall provide MS with *** prior written notice of any substantive change in Company’s

 MS agrees to defend, at MS’ expense, Company in a lawsuit or other judicial action, and pay
the amount of any adverse final judgment (or settlement that MS consents to) from the lawsuit or judicial action, for any third party claims that Products (excluding Sample Code): 

 

	 	(1)	infringe any copyright or trademark rights, or 

  

	 	(2)	infringe any patents (except for patents that are alleged to be infringed by or essential to an implementation of a Standard—provided that this exception does not apply to third party claims where Company
has merely distributed the Products in compliance with this Agreement and in the form as it was provided to Company by MS); or 

  

	 	(3)	misappropriate any trade secrets.  

 Each of the foregoing is individually
referred to in this Agreement as a “Claim”. 
  

	 	(b)	Limitations 

  

	 	(1)	Trade Secret Claim. The terms “misappropriates” or “misappropriation” and “trade secret” are used as defined in the Uniform Trade Secrets Act. If this Agreement is governed by the
laws of a jurisdiction outside the United States, “misappropriation” will mean “intentionally unlawful use” and “trade secret” will mean “undisclosed information” as specified in Article 39.2 of the Agreement
on Trade-Related Aspects of Intellectual Property Rights, Including Trade in Counterfeit Goods (TRIPS Agreement). 

 MS has no
duty or liability if Company acquired a Trade Secret: 
  

	 	(i)	through improper means; 

  

	 	(ii)	under circumstances giving rise to an independent duty by Company to maintain secrecy or limit the use of the Trade Secret; or 


 

	 	(iii)	from a person (other than MS or its Suppliers) who owed, to the party asserting the Trade Secret Claim, a duty to maintain the secrecy or limit the use of the Trade Secret. 


 

	 	(2)	Patent Claim. MS’ obligations shall be limited to patent Claims where the Product (excluding Sample Code) software alone, without combination or modification, either: (i) directly infringes an
asserted patent claim; or (ii) embodies all the essential inventive elements of an asserted patent claim. 

  

	 	(3)	Excluded Claims. MS has no duty based on Company’s manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, importation or other disposition or promotion of Product or trademark in violation of the applicable
Agreement, but only to the extent that such infringement claim results from such violation. 

  

	 	(4)	Conditions. MS has no duties for any Claim unless the following are satisfied: 

  

	 	(i)	Company must promptly notify MS in writing of the Claim; 

  

	 	(ii)	MS must have sole control over defense and/or settlement of the Claim; and 

  

	 	(iii)	Company shall provide MS with reasonable assistance in the defense of the Claim. 

  

	 	(c)	Other Claims 

  

	 	(1)	Regarding any claim (other than a Claim) related to a Product, Company shall promptly notify MS in writing of such claim. MS has no duty to defend Company or pay damages arising out of such claim.


  

	 	(2)	Company agrees that MS has the right, in its sole discretion, to assume at any time the defense of any such claim. If MS assumes the defense of any such claim: 


 

	 	(i)	MS will notify Company in writing of MS’ election; 

  

	 	(ii)	MS must have sole control over the defense and settlement of the claim; 

  

	 	(iii)	Company shall provide MS with reasonable assistance in the defense of the claim; 

  

	 	(iv)	MS will defend Company against that claim; and 

  

	 	(v)	MS will pay any adverse final judgment (or settlement that MS consents to) resulting from defending such claim. 

  

	 	(d)	Additional Options 

 In addition to the obligations in Section 8(b) (Limitations),
if MS receives information concerning a claim (including a Claim), MS may, at its expense, but without obligation to do so, undertake further actions such as: 
  

	 	(1)	procure the copyright, patent, trademark or Trade Secret rights or licenses to address the claim, or

	 	(2)	replace or modify the Product or trademark to make it non-infringing or stop the misappropriation of the Trade Secret. 

  

	 	(e)	Notices; Injunctions 

  

	 	(1)	MS may provide Company with notice of a recommendation that Company stop the manufacture, use, sale, offer for sale, importation or other disposition or promotion of Products or trademark due to a claim
(including a Claim). Company shall reimburse MS and MSCORP for all damages, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) they incurred because of Company’s activities contrary to such recommendation more than *** after
the date of MS’ notice. 

  

	 	(2)	If, in connection with a claim (including a Claim), a court enjoins Company from distributing any Products in its inventory and within *** after the injunction 


 

	 	(i)	the injunction is not lifted, 

  

	 	(ii)	MS has not procured a license that enables Company to distribute the enjoined Products, and 

  

	 	(iii)	MS has not modified the affected Products to make them non-infringing,

	 	(c)	Product Reports. Company will account for Products in inventory on a monthly basis. Products in inventory include Products at all Company facilities. Company will make this accounting available to MS upon
request. The Product accounting will reconcile beginning and ending Product inventory. It will also include: 

  

	 	(1)	Product and APM acquisitions from ARs and MS Parties. 

  

	 	(2)	COA serial number ranges on the Runtime License envelopes with corresponding shipment dates. 

  

	 	(3)	OEM Customers’ returns. 

  

	 	(4)	COAs, Product, and APM that cannot be distributed for any reason. 

  

	 	(5)	Product shipped as replacement units. 

  

	 	(d)	Payments. If Company discovers a discrepancy resulting in an underpayment to MS, Company will pay MS if there is a difference between the number of Runtime Licenses acquired by Company from ARs and:


  

	 	(1)	The number of Runtime Licenses distributed by Company pursuant to this Agreement; plus 

  

	 	(2)	The number of Runtime Licenses that Company can verify are in the possession of Company; plus 

  

	 	(3)	The number of Runtime Licenses properly returned to the AR; plus 

  

	 	(4)	The number of Runtime Licenses destroyed on-site in the presence of an MS-approved certified public accountant. 


The payment amount for each Runtime License will be the difference in units multiplied by the royalty rates for the Runtime License. Company
will submit a revised sales-out report and pay in accordance with Section 3 (Reports and Payments). If Company can show (to the reasonable satisfaction of MS) that Product was destroyed due to a Force Majeure Event, then it will not pay for
those units of Product. 
  

	 	(e)	Company Records; MS Inspection

	 	(g)	Audit Frequency. MS will not do an audit more than once a year. However, MS may audit more than once a year if an audit finished during the preceding year revealed a Material Amount or an intentional breach of
