such noncompliance upon Customer’s return of said Software. ANY LIABILITY OF SELECTICA WITH
RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE OR PERFORMANCE THEREOF UNDER ANY WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR

to Customer an equitable portion of the license fee paid therefor. Except as specified above,
SELECTICA will not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred without its prior written
authorization. Notwithstanding the foregoing, SELECTICA assumes no liability for infringement
claims with respect to Software (i) not supplied by SELECTICA, (ii) made in whole or in part in
accordance to Customer’s specifications, (iii) that is modified after delivery by SELECTICA, (iv)
combined with other products, processes or materials where the alleged infringement relates to such
combination, (v) where Customer continues allegedly infringing activity after being notified
thereof or after being informed of modifications that would have avoided the alleged infringement,
or (vi) where Customer’s use of the Software is not strictly in accordance with this Agreement.
