regulations as they apply at the time of exporting said Technical Data, as they may be revised and modified by U.S. Government or other authorities at various times. s+c warrants and hereby gives written assurance to Exa that the only ECCN
classification that is applicable to the Framework Code and PowerVIZ Software is 0D999, and thereafter s+c shall promptly notify Exa of any changes to such classification. 

 

	11.0	CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 

  

	 	11.1	Definition of Confidential Information. As used herein, “Confidential Information” means information disclosed by one Party (the “Disclosing
Party”) to the other Party (the “Receiving Party”) and identified as confidential, including, without limitation, either Party’s software (whether in Object Code or Source Code), documentation, trade secrets or other proprietary
information, including information disclosed prior to the date hereof, with respect to either Party’s business and operations (including the business and operations of its subsidiaries). Confidential Information disclosed in tangible form must
be marked as confidential. Confidential Information disclosed in electronic media must display a confidentiality notice when the information is printed or displayed. All other Confidential Information must be identified as confidential in writing
within ten days of initial disclosure. s+c’s and Exa’s software and documentation shall be considered Confidential Information whether or not it is so identified or marked. 


 

	 	11.2	Exceptions. Confidential Information does not include information (i) generally known on a non-confidential basis (without fault of the Receiving Party) to
companies in the Disclosing Party’s business; (ii) lawfully obtained by the Receiving Party without restriction on disclosure; (iii) known to the Receiving Party prior to receipt from the Disclosing Party without restriction on
disclosure; or (iv) independently developed by the Receiving Party without use of information provided by the Disclosing Party. 

  

	 	11.3	 Disclosure Required by Law. If either Party or any of its representatives is required by law to disclose any of the Confidential Information of
the other Party, said Party will, if legally permissible, promptly notify the other Party of such 



  
 - 9 -










	 	
requirement prior to making the disclosure. The Parties will then confer and use reasonable, good faith efforts to agree on a form and terms of disclosure reasonably acceptable to both Parties in
light of the circumstances under which the disclosure is required to be made, provided that if following such notice and conferring the Parties are unable to agree on a mutually acceptable form and terms of disclosure, then the Party required by law
to make the disclosure shall have no liability to the other Party provided the Party making such disclosure makes reasonable efforts to obtain an appropriate protective order or other reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded
the Confidential Information by the tribunal requiring disclosure. 

  

	 	11.4	Protection of Confidential Information Generally. Each Party agrees (i) not to disclose the other’s Confidential Information to any third party except
as specifically permitted by this Agreement and (ii) to use the other’s Confidential Information only for the purpose for which it was disclosed pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party may disclose Confidential Information to its officers,
directors and employees who are participating in or supervising the fulfillment of its rights or obligations hereunder and to representatives, including its accountants, financial advisors, outside counsel and other representatives with a bona fide
need to know (collectively, the “Representatives”), provided that prior to disclosing Confidential Information to a Representative, the Party shall inform such Representative of the requirements of this Section 11.0 and, unless such
Representative is already bound by rules of professional responsibility to maintain the confidence of client disclosures, obtain from such Representative an executed copy of the form set forth as Exhibit D to this Agreement. Each Party will
promptly notify the other upon learning of any unauthorized disclosure or use of the other’s Confidential Information and will take all steps reasonably requested by the other Party to remedy any such disclosure or use. Each Party will only
copy Confidential Information of the other Party to the extent reasonably necessary to use the Confidential Information for the intended purpose for which it was disclosed and will reproduce on all such copies all confidentiality and other
proprietary rights notices appearing on the originals. For the avoidance of doubt, the Framework Code Source Code and other Confidential Information pertaining to the Framework Code shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be deemed the Confidential
Information of both Parties and each Party shall protect its confidentiality in accordance with this Section 11.0; the PowerVIZ Software and other Confidential Information pertaining thereto shall be deemed the Confidential Information of Exa.


  

	 	11.5	Duration of Confidentiality Obligation. The rights and obligations of the Parties under this Section 11.0 shall continue for as long as the information
remains Confidential Information as defined herein. 

  

	 	11.6	Injunctive Relief. Violation of the obligations set forth in this Section 11.0 by a Receiving Party would cause irreparable harm to the Disclosing Party not
adequately compensable by money damages. Either Party may therefore seek injunctive relief to prevent an actual or threatened violation of this Section 11.0. 


  
 - 10 -










	12.0	INDEMNIFICATION 

  

	 	12.1	Scope of Indemnity. s+c will defend any action brought against Exa or its customers (collectively, the “Indemnitees”) in the Indemnification Territory
to the extent that it is based upon a claim that any of the PowerVIZ Software assigned hereunder and/or any of the Framework Code furnished hereunder and used within the scope of the licenses granted hereunder infringe any Intellectual Property
Right. As used herein, the “Indemnification Territory” means any and all countries that are members of the World Trade Organization as of the Effective Date and Russia. s+c’s indemnification obligation hereunder shall expire on the
fiftieth anniversary of the Effective Date. s+c will pay all resulting costs, damages, settlement fees and reasonable legal fees incurred by the Indemnitees in any actions that are attributable to such claim provided that (i) s+c is
notified in writing of such claim; and (ii) s+c has sole control of the defense of any such claim and all related settlement negotiations (although s+c shall be required to obtain the applicable Indemnitees’ consent prior to finalizing any
settlement agreement). s+c shall not be liable if the infringement is based upon the use or the operation of the PowerVIZ Software or Framework Code in a manner for which it was not expressly designed or recommended by s+c in the applicable
Documentation. 

  

	 	12.2	Obligation to Modify Infringing Product. Should the PowerVIZ Software or Framework Code or any component thereof become, or be likely to become, in s+c’s
reasonable opinion, the subject of a claim of infringement of Intellectual Property Rights covered by Section 12.1, s+c shall make its best commercially reasonable efforts to procure for Exa and its customers, at s+c’s cost, the right to
continue using the PowerVIZ Software or Framework Code or such component, or replace or modify the PowerVIZ Software or Framework Code or the applicable components to eliminate the infringement. Any such replacement or modification must provide
equivalent functionality with the original, and s+c must so certify in writing prior to any such replacement or modification. 

  

	 	12.3	Entire Liability. This Section 12.0 states the entire liability of s+c with respect to infringement of Intellectual Property Rights.


  

	13.0	REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES
