2.              In Section B (Distribution Rights):

 

a. Delete the first paragraph of the section and replace it with the following:

 

“In order to distribute programs, you and your subsidiaries must be members of the Oracle PartnerNetwork. Oracle grants you a nonexclusive, nontransferable right to (a) to duplicate the programs for which you have received a development license under an Oracle PartnerNetwork Agreement between you and Oracle and (b) to distribute such programs to end users as part of the application package. The programs must be embedded with your application program and distributed with your application program and cannot be provided separately. Prior to distributing programs, you must obtain an order from the end user for the programs, which order and programs shall be subject to a valid end user license agreement. Each distributed embedded program must be used only for the internal business operations of the end user and must be used only in conjunction with the application package. Each distributed embedded program shall be subject to the terms of this agreement and the terms provided in the end user license agreement. You may distribute the application package to yourself or your affiliated entities and you and any such entity shall be considered an end user under this agreement provided that (1) you comply with the requirements of Section G (License Agreement), and (2) you report such distribution in accordance with Section F (Reporting). You may not distribute the programs, learning credits, and/or services to end users that are public sector entities. The total fees paid to Oracle for distribution of the application package to you and any affiliated entities may not exceed 20% of the total fees paid to Oracle under this agreement. Oracle may disclose information about the rights granted to you pursuant to this agreement to an Oracle Value Added Distributor (“Oracle VAD”). Oracle shall inform you of any notices and other instructions that are related to third party software components (including open source software) that are included in a program and that Oracle is required to distribute with such programs. These notices and other instructions shall be provided to you in at least one of the following ways, at Oracle’s sole discretion: (a) automatically installed with the programs or in the installation details; (b) in the program documentation; (c) in the readme files; or (d) via a supplemental list. You shall comply with all other instructions related to third party software components (including open source software) and you shall reproduce all third party notices in an appropriate location in the application package and/or in its related documentation and include any associated source code as required by the applicable notices or as otherwise directed by Oracle. You must provide the following legend on the installation pop-up screen of the application package, or if the application package is a physical device, you must provide the legend on the label for the media containing the programs and your application program: “The programs included herein are subject to a restricted use license and can only be used in conjunction with this application.”

 

b. Delete the last sentence of the second paragraph and replace it with the following:

 

“You must provide the following legend, or direct link to the legend, on the installation pop-up screen of the application package, or if the application package is a physical device, you must provide the legend on the label for the media containing the programs and your application program: “The programs included herein are subject to a restricted use license and can only be used in conjunction with this application.”

 

3.              In Section E (Ownerships and Restrictions), delete the first three paragraphs of the section and replace them with the following:

 

“Oracle or its licensors retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the programs. Oracle retains all ownership and intellectual property rights to anything developed by Oracle and/or

 

 

	
Guidance_ Amd2_ESL-29FEB12-ew

delivered to you under this agreement. Each end user may make a sufficient number of copies of each program for the licensed use and one copy of each program media. All other rights are reserved, and this agreement does not grant any rights, whether by implication, estoppel, or otherwise, other than those rights specifically described in this agreement.

 

The programs may contain third party technology. Third party technology will be licensed to you either under the terms of this agreement or, if specified in the program documentation, readme files, or the installation details or otherwise as set forth in section B, under separate license terms (“separate terms”) and not under the terms of this agreement (“separately licensed third party technology”). Further, Oracle is required in certain cases to provide notices to you and will do so in accordance with the terms of section B. For clarity, the mere existence of such a notice will not change the terms under which third party technology is licensed to you.

 

Your rights to use (including without limitation the right to distribute) separately licensed third party technology under the separate terms are not restricted in any way by this agreement. However, solely with respect to separately licensed third party technology that is part of the program, and is used: (i) in unmodified form; (ii) as part of the program; (iii) in accordance with the license grant for the relevant program and all other terms and conditions of this agreement, and (iv) in compliance with the separate terms, Oracle will provide indemnification for separately licensed third party technology to the same extent as Oracle is required to provide indemnification for the program under the terms of this agreement. Oracle will provide indemnification for third party technology that is part of the program and not separately licensed third party technology to the same extent as Oracle is required to provide indemnification for the program under the terms of this agreement.”

 

4.              In the first paragraph of section F (Reporting) add the following after the second sentence:

 

“Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the Partner Ordering Policy, where an end user prohibits you from providing such end users’ name, address, and email address information to Oracle pursuant to a valid agreement between you and such end user, you may provide a unique identifier for each end user in lieu of the data elements required in the Partner Ordering Policy of end user name, address and email address. Such unique identifier shall include not less than the state and zip code (or country and postal code, if the end user is not located in the United States) where the end user resides. You agree to maintain a listing of such unique identifiers and the corresponding end user name, addresses, and email addresses to disclose to Oracle as part of an audit pursuant to Section V of this agreement and/or upon Oracle’s request in the event of an alleged breach of the end user license agreement by the end user. Additionally, for any specified unique identifier, you agree that at Oracle’s request you will confirm whether or not such unique identifier represents any company or commercial entity listed on a customer list provided by Oracle.”

 

5.              In Section G (License Agreement):

 

a.              Delete the first sentence of the section and replace it with the following:

 

“It is your responsibility to ensure that any distribution of the programs and/or services to an end user is subject to a legally binding end user license agreement.”

 

b.              Delete subsection (1) and replace it with the following:

 

“(1) limit the use of the programs to the legal entity and the legal entity’s wholly and majority owned subsidiaries and affiliates, provided that such wholly owned subsidiaries and affiliates agree to be bound by the terms of the end user license agreement and the legal entity that signed the end user license agreement is financially responsible for any damages caused by such wholly and majority owned subsidiaries and affiliates.”

c.               Add the following new subsections after subsection (1) (to be inserted as subsections 2 and 3 respectively):

 

i.          “(2) restrict use of the programs to the scope of the application package and to the internal business operations of the end user. You may allow your end users to permit agents or contractors (including, without limitation, outsourcers) to use the application package on the applicable end user’s behalf for the end user’s internal business operations as described above, subject to the terms of the end user license agreement. For an application package that includes programs that are specifically designed to facilitate interactions between the end user and the end user’s customers and suppliers, you may allow the end user to permit its customers and suppliers to use the application package in furtherance of such interactions subject to the end user license agreement. The end user license agreement shall require the end user to be responsible for its agent’s, contractor’s, outsourcer’s, customer’s and supplier’s use of the application package and compliance with the end user license agreement. For purposes of clarification, both parties acknowledge that the EnCase Enterprise Examiner and the EnCase Concurrent Connection application packages may be installed and run by an end user on computers of such end user’s consulting clients.

 

ii.               “(3) state that all third party software vendors and licensors retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the programs.”

 

d.              Delete subsection (2) and replace with the following (to be inserted as subsection 4):

 

“prohibit (a) the transfer of the programs except for temporary transfer in the event of computer malfunction if the application package embeds the programs in a physical device and (b) the end user from assigning, giving, or transferring the programs and/or any services ordered or an interest in them to another individual or entity (and if your end user grants a security interest in the programs and/or any services, the secured party has no right to use or transfer the programs and/or any services), provided that notwithstanding the foregoing, the end user may assign its rights to use the programs under the end user license agreement to an entity that is not a competitor of Oracle’s that agrees in writing to the terms and conditions of the end user license agreement. No more than once per annual period during the term of this agreement, and subject to Oracle providing written request to you at least 30 days in advance, you agree to use commercially reasonable efforts to produce an annual report indicating the number of end user licenses assigned in each annual period. For clarification, if the report is not 100% accurate it will not be considered a breach of this agreement so long as you use commercially reasonable efforts.”

 

e.               Add the following new subsection after subsection (2) (to be inserted as subsection 5):

 

“prohibit (a) use of the programs for rental, timesharing, subscription service, hosting, or outsourcing; (b) the removal or modification of any program markings or any notice of Oracle’s or its licensors’ proprietary rights; (c) the end user from making the programs available in any manner to any third party for use in the third party’s business operations (unless such access is expressly permitted for the specific program license); and (d) title to the programs from passing to the end user or any other party; the prohibition herein against providing “subscription licenses” shall not restrict you from distributing successive or periodic term licenses of the EnCase Enterprise Examiner application package to an end user on an end user license agreement with an auto-renewal or auto-extension of term basis, provided that in such case the end user is always the licensee if such license

pursuant to all the terms of this agreement and in no event shall the terms of this agreement be construed to grant you (as a licensee) any form of license to use the programs on behalf of the end user where such end user is not the licensee.”

 

f.                Delete subsection (3) and replace it with the following (to be inserted as subsection 6):

 

“prohibit the reverse engineering (unless required by law for interoperability), disassembly or decompilation of the programs (the foregoing prohibition includes but is not limited to review of data structures or similar materials produced by programs) and prohibit duplication of the programs except for a sufficient number of copies of each program for the end user’s licensed use and one copy of each program media”

 

g.               Delete subsection (4) and replace it with the following (to be inserted as subsection 7):

 

“disclaim, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Oracle’s liability for (a) any damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential, and (b) any loss of profits, revenue, data or data use, arising from the use of the programs.”

 

h.              Renumber sections 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9 to sections 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 respectively.

 

i.                  Delete subsection (10) and replace it with the following (to be inserted as subsection 13):

 

“permit you to audit your end user’s use of the programs.”

 

j.                 Renumber sections 11, 12 and 13 to sections 14, 15 and 16 respectively.

 

k.              Delete the first sentence of the second paragraph and replace it with the following (to be inserted as subsection 17):

 

“state that third party technology that may be appropriate or necessary for use with some Oracle programs is specified in the application package documentation or as otherwise notified by you and that such third party technology is licensed to the end user only for use with the application package under the terms of the third party license agreement specified in the application package documentation or as otherwise notified by you and not under the terms of the end user license agreement.”

OUTSIDE IN

PREPAID ROYALTY ADDENDUM

to the

EMBEDDED SOFTWARE LICENSE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

Between

GUIDANCE SOFTWARE, INC.

and

ORACLE AMERICA, INC.

 

This Outside In Prepaid Royalty Addendum (the “Addendum”) is between Oracle America, Inc. (“Oracle”) and Guidance Software, Inc. (“you”) and shall be governed by and incorporated into the terms of the Oracle PartnerNetwork Embedded Software License Distribution Agreement (US-OPN-EMBD-12147270-28-Nov-08) between Oracle and you dated November 28, 2008 (the “agreement”). For clarification purposes, the agreement, not the Addendum, is dated November 28, 2008. The rights and obligations defined herein are in addition to all terms in the agreement. Definitions used in the agreement shall have the same meaning under this Addendum, unless expressly stated otherwise. If there is a direct conflict between a term of this Addendum and a term of the agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Addendum, the term of this Addendum shall prevail.

 

Any distribution rights granted will be limited to the application package(s) set forth in section 7 of this Addendum (the “application package”) and may not be combined with any additional functionality or additional application programs. You may only distribute the embedded programs as part of the application package(s) specified in section 7 of this Addendum and defined in an Outside In Application Package Registration Form.

 

1.             Agreement Definitions

 

Amend Section A of the agreement, Agreement Definitions, as follows:

 

For the purposes of this Addendum, the term “Distribution Term” shall mean a period of 4 years from the effective date hereof or such earlier period as set forth below.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the agreement, for the purposes of this Addendum, the term “programs” refers to the versions of the software products owned or distributed by Oracle and set forth on the Outside In Application Package Registration Form which you order from Oracle for development, trial, or demonstration purposes as provided in the agreement, and for distribution to an end user embedded with the application package as provided in this Addendum, including program documentation and any program updates acquired through technical support. The term “programs” shall not include any Oracle programs which are not included on the Outside In Application Package Registration Form.

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the agreement, for the purposes of this Addendum, the term “embedded” shall refer to the requirements and restrictions defined in the Outside In Application Package Registration Form with which the application package must comply.

 

2.             Prepaid Licenses

 

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in and pursuant to the terms of this Addendum and the agreement, in consideration for your payment of $1,500,000 (“Prepaid Royalty”) you may distribute licenses of the embedded programs defined in the Outside In Application Package Registration Form to end users with the application package (“Prepaid Licenses) during the Distribution Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the agreement, the license fee payable for each Prepaid License shall be in accordance with the license fee table below:

License   Fee
    
	
EnCase Concurrent   Connection
    	
You agree to pay   fees for the distribution of Prepaid Licenses with your EnCase Concurrent   Connection equal to the license fee set forth in the applicable Outside In   Application Registration Form in section 7
    
	
EnCase Enterprise   Examiner
    	
Notwithstanding   anything to the contrary in the Application Package Registration   Form dated November 28, 2008 for the distribution of Prepaid   Licenses with your EnCase Enterprise Examiner application package you agree   to pay a license equal to $28.00 per Unit. For the purposes of this Addendum,   the term “Unit” shall be defined as the right to install a single   installation of the application package on a single piece of hardware.
    

 

 

For the first year of the Distribution Term, the fee for end user technical support for the Prepaid Licenses (the “Initial Annual Support Fee”) shall be $165,000.

 

You agree to submit to Oracle a quarterly report for Prepaid Licenses distributed to end users in accordance with section 5 below. During the Distribution Term, the license fee due under such quarterly report shall be deducted from the amount of the Prepaid Royalty until such time as the Prepaid Royalty is reduced to zero. When the Prepaid Royalty is reduced to zero then further distribution of the embedded programs and services and the related fees due to Oracle shall be in accordance with section 3 below.

 

Technical support for the Prepaid Licenses shall be renewed annually for the duration of the Distribution Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the agreement, for each renewal year in the Distribution Term the fee for such renewal will not increase by more than 4% over the prior year’s fees. The Initial Annual Support Fee set forth above does not include any fees due and payable to Oracle for technical support for any programs distributed by you prior to the effective date of this Addendum, any fees due and payable to Oracle for technical support for any programs distributed by you under a prior distribution agreement with Oracle, any end user technical support fees due for Incremental Licenses set forth in section 3 below, or any fees due and payable to Oracle for technical support for any programs distributed by you under the agreement which are not included in this Addendum.

 

The Prepaid Royalty and Initial Annual Support Fee payable to Oracle under this section 2 of this Addendum are due within 30 days of the effective date of this Addendum. This payment obligation is non-cancelable, and the sum paid is nonrefundable, is not subject to set-off for any reason, and is not subject to the completion or occurrence of any event after the signature date of this Addendum.

 

You may provide technical support to end users for embedded programs that you distribute with the application package only for those programs for which you have previously acquired a supported development license. Your distribution of the embedded programs is subject to the terms of the agreement and this Addendum. In the event that you do not (a) distribute the embedded programs and Prepaid Licenses in accordance with this Addendum and the agreement or (b) pay the annual technical support fees for the Prepaid Licenses due for any renewal year under this Addendum for the duration of the Distribution Term, then the Distribution Term and your right to distribute the embedded programs and the Prepaid Licenses under this Addendum and to provide technical support for the embedded programs and the Prepaid Licenses shall immediately terminate.

 

3.             Incremental Licenses

When the amount of the Prepaid Royalty has been reduced to zero then, for the remainder of the Distribution Term, you may continue to distribute the embedded programs with the application package to end users pursuant to section B of the agreement, Distribution Rights (hereinafter such additional distributed programs shall be referred to as “Incremental Licenses”) provided that you (a) pay Oracle the applicable license fees and annual end user technical support fees for any such Incremental Licenses in accordance with the terms of this section 3 and (b) submit quarterly reports for the Incremental Licenses and services for such Incremental Licenses in accordance with section 5 below.

Incremental License Fee
    
	
EnCase   Concurrent Connection
    	
You   agree to pay fees for the distribution of Incremental Licenses with your   EnCase Concurrent Connection equal to the license fee set forth in the applicable   Outside In Application Registration Form in section 7
    
	
EnCase   Enterprise Examiner
    	
Notwithstanding   anything to the contrary in the Application Package Registration   Form dated November 28, 2008 for the distribution of Incremental   Licenses with your EnCase Enterprise Examiner application package you agree   to pay a license equal to $28.00 per Unit. For the purposes of this Addendum,   the term “Unit” shall be defined as the right to install a single   installation of the application package on a single piece of hardware.
    

 

 

In addition, with regard to fees for technical support you provide to end users for the Incremental Licenses, you agree to pay Oracle an annual end user technical support fee equal to 11% of the Incremental License Fees for the first year that end users contract for or obtain technical support from you. Thereafter, annual end user technical support fees for the Incremental Licenses shall be in accordance with Oracle’s then-current standard technical support policies.

 

4.             Technical Support Following the End of the Distribution Term

Following the end of the Distribution Term, you may continue to renew end user technical support for the embedded programs and provide technical support to your end users of such programs provided that you continuously maintain technical support for the development licenses, you pay all applicable fees set forth in this agreement, and you maintain your membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork. Following the end of the Distribution Term, renewal of annual end user technical support services shall be provided in accordance with Oracle’s then-current technical support policies and the terms of the agreement and this Addendum. Subject to the terms of the agreement, the renewal fee for the first year for end user technical support for the embedded programs shall be equal to the total technical support fee paid for the last year of the Distribution Term plus Oracle’s then current technical support annual percentage increase which shall not exceed 4%. After the first year following the end of the Distribution Term, renewal of annual end user technical support services for the embedded programs shall be provided in accordance with Oracle’s then-current technical support policies and the terms of the agreement.

 

Renewal fees for end user technical support shall be invoiced by Oracle annually in advance. Fees for end user technical support shall be due and payable in advance thirty (30) days from date of invoice. Your payment obligation for end user technical support fees is non-cancelable, and the sum paid is nonrefundable, is not subject to set-off for any reason, and is not subject to the completion or occurrence of any event after the signature date of this Addendum.

 

5.             Reporting

You shall submit quarterly reports for the embedded programs that you distribute pursuant to this Addendum in accordance with Section F of the agreement, Reporting. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the agreement, in each quarterly report that you submit pursuant to this section 5, you shall provide the following information: the name of the programs licensed; the name, including date or version, of the applicable end user license agreement; the name, including the date or version, of your agreement with Oracle under which the programs are being distributed; the applicable license metrics, quantity, and term designation; the date of the end user’s order; and the total license and end user technical support fees payable to the Oracle group company for that quarter. Notwithstanding the above, where an end user prohibits you from providing such end users’ name, address, and email address information to Oracle pursuant to a valid agreement between you and such end user, you may provide a unique identifier for each

 

 

	
Guidance.Software_OPN.Outsideln.PrepaidRoyalty.Addendum_v22FEB12-ew
    	
3
    

 

 

end user in lieu of the data elements required in the Partner Ordering Policy of end user name, address and email address. Such unique identifier shall include not less than the state and zip code (or country and postal code, if the end user is not located in the United States) where the end user resides. You agree to maintain a listing of such unique identifiers and the corresponding end user name, addresses, and email addresses to disclose to Oracle as part of an audit pursuant to Section V of this agreement and/or upon Oracle’s request in the event of an alleged breach of the end user license agreement by the end user. Additionally, for any specified unique identifier, you agree that at Oracle’s request you will confirm whether or not such unique identifier represents any company or commercial entity listed on a customer list provided by Oracle.

 

6.             Term

The term of this Addendum shall commence on the effective date below and shall be valid for the Distribution Term unless terminated earlier as provided herein or in the agreement. Upon the end of the Distribution Term, your right to distribute the embedded programs and the Prepaid Licenses under this Addendum and, except as set forth in section 4 above, to provide end user technical support for the embedded programs and the Prepaid Licenses, shall cease. You will not be entitled to receive any refund or credit for any amount of the Prepaid Royalty that remains unused at the end of the Distribution Term. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the agreement, this Addendum may not be extended or renewed, unless the parties agree in writing. You understand and agree that you may not continue to distribute the programs with the application program defined herein after the expiration or termination of the Distribution Term unless and until new terms and pricing have been agreed in writing by both parties. For the purposes governing this Addendum only, in the event that the term of the agreement expires before the term of this Addendum then the term of the agreement shall be extended for the remainder of the term of the Addendum only. Distributions outside of the terms of this Addendum would be subject to execution of a new Embedded Software License Distribution Agreement.

 

7.             Application Packages

Your distribution of the embedded programs under this Addendum applies only to the application packages identified below and described in the relevant Outside In Application Package Registration Form attached to this Addendum.

 

	
List of Application Packages
    
	
EnCase Enterprise Examiner
    
	
Encase Concurrent Connection
    

 

8.             Ownership and Restrictions

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, and in addition to the restrictions in section G of the agreement, you may not:

 

	
·
    	
allow the programs to be accessed by any application or   process not specifically described as the application package (whether such   other application is developed by you or by a third party);
    
	
·
    	
allow the output from the programs (for example: plain   text, Unicode text, HTML or XML) to be accessed by any application, whether   developed by you or not, which is not specifically described as the   application package;
    
	
·
    	
allow another application of yours running on the same   server and/or CPUs that is the functional equivalent of the application   package, but that does not contain the programs, to access the programs or   the output from the programs. For example, an end user shall not be allowed   to deploy a filtering server that utilizes a single unit of the application   package while deploying other units of your application that is the   functional equivalent of the application package but does not contain the   programs on multiple servers and such other applications operate with,   process or otherwise use the results generated by the application package;   i.e., there must be a 1:1 ratio of the servers and/or CPUs on which   application packages are deployed and the servers and/or CPUs on which such   your application(s)are deployed;
    
	
·
    	
implement any sub-component or API of the programs as a   standalone process without a specific license to do so;
    
	
·
    	
expose or publish any program API to any third-party; or
    
	
·
    	
allow the programs to be accessed, distributed, or   sublicensed via web services architecture except where the content to be   converted is directly controlled by the application package.
    

 

Oracle reserves any rights not expressly granted to you under this agreement

9.             Supported File Format List

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the agreement, you may, at your option, reproduce and distribute all or a portion of the supported file format list found in the program documentation, provided, however, that under no circumstances shall you reproduce or distribute any other portion of the program documentation, including without limitation, any portion of the program documentation that exposes the program APIs.

 

10.      Warranties, Disclaimers and Exclusive Remedies

For the purposes of this Addendum only, the following shall be inserted after the second paragraph in section I Warranties, Disclaimers and Exclusive Remedies:

 

“THE PARTIES ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT FILE RENDERING AND CONVERSION ARE AFFECTED BY FACTORS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE AVAILABLE FONTS AND DISPLAY SIZE ON THE TARGET MACHINE, AND THE CURRENT TAG SET AND CAPABILITIES OF SUPPORTED MARKUP LANGUAGES. AS SUCH, ONLY THOSE ELEMENTS OF THE SOURCE FILE THAT CAN BE REASONABLY REPRESENTED IN THE SELECTED FORMAT WILL BE DISPLAYED IN THE RENDERED OR CONVERTED FILE. FOR EXAMPLE, THE CONVERSION OF SPREADSHEETS TO IMAGES IS LIMITED BY THE STRUCTURE OF SPREADSHEET FORMATS WHICH IS NOT CONDUCIVE TO THE STRICT FORMATTING IMPOSED BY PAGE LAYOUT.”

 

11.      Internet Hosting

Notwithstanding the terms of the agreement, you shall have the right to license the EnCase Enterprise Examiner and Encase Concurrent Connection application package(s) (“EnCase applications packages”), as defined in the application package registration form(s) specified in section 7 above to end users so that such end users may use the Encase application packages to provide internet hosting services to their customers (“Hosted Application Package”). You may allow your end users to provide access to the Hosted Application Packages for their customers’ business operations and/or to provide services to third parties using the Hosted Application Packages, provided that all such use shall be subject to the terms of your end user license agreement with your end users that meets the requirements of the section G of the agreement, License Agreement. You shall prohibit your end users from reselling or assigning their licenses of the Hosted Application Packages to their customers and from providing access to their customers to any Oracle programs. You agree to require your end users to be financially responsible to Oracle for all damages or losses resulting from the end users’ and their customers’ breach of these terms. Your end users’ customers, including human and non-human users, accessing the Hosted Application packages and your end users’ computers running the Hosted Application Packages shall be included in determining the quantity of program licenses deployed by your end users. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this agreement, you and your affiliated entities may not be considered end users under this paragraph (i.e., you and your affiliated entities cannot use the application packages embedded with the programs to provide internet hosting services).

 

12.      Delivery

Oracle has no delivery obligation under this Addendum. You acknowledge that Oracle has previously delivered to your location, 1 copy of the software media and 1 set of program documentation (in the form generally available) for each program in the application package. In entering into payment obligations under this Addendum, you agree and acknowledge that you and the end user have not relied on the future availability of any program or updates.

PUBLIC SECTOR ADDENDUM

to the

EMBEDDED SOFTWARE LICENSE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT

between

GUIDANCE SOFTWARE, INC.

and

ORACLE AMERICA, INC.

 

This Public Sector Addendum (the “addendum”) is between Oracle America, Inc. (“Oracle”) and Guidance Software, Inc. (“you”) and shall be governed by and incorporated into the terms of the Oracle PartnerNetwork Embedded Software License Distribution Agreement (US-OPN-EMBD-12147270-28-NOV-08) between Oracle and you dated November 28, 2008 (the “agreement”). The rights and obligations defined herein are in addition to all terms in the agreement. Definitions used in the agreement shall have the same meaning under this addendum, unless expressly stated otherwise. If there is a direct conflict between a term of this addendum and a term of the agreement with respect to the subject matter of this addendum, the term of this addendum shall prevail.

 

1.             Agreement Definitions

For the purposes of this addendum, the term “public sector end user” refers to an end user that is (a) a government, legislature or decision making body, instrumentality, department, or agency at any level (national, local, municipal or otherwise); entities managed, controlled or majority owned by government interests; public organizations or foundations of any kind (including political parties, political organizations, or political candidates); and any public international organization, such as, but not limited to, the International Red Cross, United Nations, or the World Bank; and (b) licensed to use the application program with the embedded programs for its own internal business operations subject to the terms of an end user license agreement as further provided for in the agreement.

 

2.             Distribution Rights

AT-WILL EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENT

 

This At-Will Employment Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered on this 1st day of June of 2009 between Guidance Software, Inc. (“Company”) and Amanda Berger (“Employee”). In consideration of the mutual promises and conditions contained in this Agreement, the Company and Employee agree as follows:

 

1.                                      Title and duties. The Company shall employ Employee as and under the title of Vice President of Professional Services and Employee accepts that employment. If Employee is a full-time employee, Employee shall devote substantially all of Employee’s time, attention, energy, knowledge, and skill solely and exclusively to performing all duties as Vice President of Professional Services as assigned or delegated to Employee by the Company.

 

2.                                      Compensation and Expenses.

 

A. Salary.  The company will pay to Employee an annual salary of $225,000.00, which shall be payable semi-monthly on a prorated basis and from which the Company shall withhold and deduct all taxes required by federal and state laws and any other authorized deductions. The Company will review Employee’s salary at least annually. The Company may, in its sole discretion, increase Employee’s salary during Employee’s employment with the Company.

 

B. Additional Benefits.  Employee shall also be entitled to benefits commensurate with those afforded to similarly situated employees of the company, including vacation pay, sick pay, and participation in the Company’s benefits plans. These benefits are more fully described in the Company’s policies and plans. The Company reserves the right to modify, suspend, or discontinue any and all of the above-mentioned plans, practices, policies and profit-sharing programs at any time as long as such action is taken generally with respect to other similarly situated employees of the Company.

 

3.                                      At-Will Employment.  Employee’s employment with the Company is for no specified term and is at the mutual consent of both Employee and the Company. Specifically, Employee’s employment will be on an “at will” basis, meaning that either Employee or the Company may terminate the employment relationship with or without cause at any time, with or without notice. There are no express or implied agreements contrary to the foregoing and no one other than the President of the Company has any authority to enter into an employment agreement for a specified period of time or to make any agreement that is contrary to the foregoing. Any such agreement by the President must be in writing and fully executed by both Employee and the President. As used herein, the term “the Relationship” refers to the employment relationship between Employee and the Company; the Relationship terminates upon termination of employment for any reason.

 

4.                                      Confidential Information.

 

A. Non-Disclosure.  Employee agrees at all times during the term of Employee’s employment relationship with the Company and thereafter, to hold in strictest confidence, and not to use, except for the benefit of the Company, or to disclose to any person, firm, corporation or other entity without written authorization of the Board of Directors of the Company, any Confidential Information of the Company which Employee obtains or creates. Employee further agrees not to make copies of such Confidential Information except as authorized by the Company. Employee understands that “Confidential Information” means any Company proprietary information, technical data, trade secrets or know-how, including, but not limited to, research, product plans, products, services, suppliers, customer lists and customers (including, but not limited to, customers of the Company on whom Employee calls or with whom Employee becomes acquainted during the employment relationship), prices and costs, markets, software, developments, inventions, laboratory notebooks, processes, formulas, technology, designs, drawings, engineering, hardware configuration information, marketing, licenses, finances, budgets or other business information disclosed to Employee by the Company either directly or indirectly in writing, orally or by drawings or observation of parts or equipment or created by Employee during the period of the employment relationship, whether or not during working hours. Employee understands that “Confidential Information” includes, but is not limited to, information pertaining to any aspects of the Company’s business which is either information not known by actual or potential competitors of the Company or is proprietary information of the Company or its customers or suppliers, whether of a technical nature or otherwise. Employee further understands that Confidential Information does not include any of the foregoing items which has become publicly and widely known and made generally available through no wrongful act of Employee or of others who were under confidentiality obligations as to the item or items involved.

 

 

B. Third Party Information.  Employee recognizes that the Company has received and in the future will receive confidential or proprietary information from third parties subject to a duty on the Company’s part to maintain the confidentiality of such information and to use it only for certain limited purposes. Employee agrees to hold all such confidential or proprietary information in the strictest confidence and not to disclose it to any person, firm or corporation or to use it except as necessary in carrying out Employee’s work for the Company consistent with the Company’s agreement with such third party.

 

5.              Inventions

 

A. Inventions Retained and Licensed.  Employee has attached hereto, as Exhibit A, a list describing with particularity all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, improvements, and trade secrets which were made by Employee prior to the commencement of the employment relationship (collectively referred to as “Prior Inventions”), which belong solely to Employee or belong to Employee jointly with another, which relate in any way to any of the Company’s proposed businesses, products or research and development, and which are not assigned to the Company hereunder; or, if no such list is attached, Employee represents that there are no such Prior Inventions. For the avoidance of doubt, Employee represents that he/she will not introduce into a Guidance facility or computer network, or otherwise use, the property of previous employers or other third parties, including but not limited to, confidential documents, trade secrets, customer lists, forms, software, templates or manuals. If, in the course of Employee’s Relationship with the Company, Employee incorporates into a Company product, process or machine a Prior Invention owned by Employee or in which Employee has an interest, the Company is hereby granted and shall have a non-exclusive, royalty-free, irrevocable, perpetual, worldwide license (with the right to sublicense) to make, have made, copy, modify, make derivative works of, use, sell and otherwise distribute such Prior Invention as part of or in connection with such product, process or machine.

 

B. Assignment of Inventions.  Employee agrees that Employee will promptly make full written disclosure to the Company, will hold in trust for the sole right and benefit of the Company, and hereby assign to the Company, or its designee, all Employee’s rights, title and interest throughout the world in and to any and all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets, whether or not patentable or registrable under copyright or similar laws, which Employee may solely or jointly conceive or develop or reduce to practice, or cause to be conceived or developed or reduced to practice, during the period of time in which Employee is employed by the Company (collectively referred to as “Inventions”), except as provided in Section 5(e) below. Employee further acknowledges that all inventions, original works of authorship, developments, concepts, know-how, improvements or trade secrets which are made by Employee (solely or jointly with others) within the scope of and during the period of Employee’s employment relationship with the Company are “works made for hire” (to the greatest extent permitted by applicable law) and are compensated by Employee’s salary, unless regulated otherwise by the mandatory law of the state of California.

 

C. Maintenance of Records.  Employee agrees to keep and maintain adequate and current written records of all Inventions made by Employee (solely or jointly with others) during the term of Employee’s employment relationship with the Company. The records may be in the form of notes, sketches, drawings, flow charts, electronic data or recordings, laboratory notebooks, and any other format. The records will be available to and remain the sole properly of the Company at all times. Employee agrees not to remove such records from the Company’s place of business except as expressly permitted by Company policy which may, from time to time, be revised at the sole election of the Company for the purpose of furthering the Company’s business.

 

 

D. Patent and Copyright Rights.  Employee agrees to assist the Company, at the Company’s expense, in every proper  way to secure the Company’s rights in the Inventions and any copyrights, patents, trademarks, mask work rights, moral rights, or other intellectual property rights relating thereto in any and all countries, including the disclosure to the Company of all pertinent information and data with respect thereto, the execution of all applications, specifications, oaths, assignments, recordations, and all other instruments which the Company shall deem necessary in order to apply for, obtain, maintain and transfer such rights and in order to assign and convey to the Company, its successors, assigns and nominees the sole and exclusive rights, title and interest in and to such Inventions, and any copyrights, patents, mask work rights or other intellectual property rights relating thereto. Employee further agrees that Employee’s obligation to execute or cause to be executed, when it is in Employee’s power to do so, any such instrument or papers shall continue after the termination of this Agreement until the expiration of the last such intellectual property right to expire in any country of the world. If the Company is unable because of Employee’s mental or physical incapacity or unavailability or for any other reason to secure Employee’s signature to apply for or to pursue any application for any United States or foreign patents or copyright registrations covering Inventions or original works of authorship assigned to the Company as above, then Employee hereby irrevocably designate and appoint the Company and its duly authorized officers and agents as my agent and attorney in fact, to act for and in Employee’s behalf and stead to execute and file any such applications and to do all other lawfully permitted acts to further the application for, prosecution, issuance, maintenance or transfer of letters patent or copyright registrations thereon with the same legal force and effect as if originally executed by Employee. Employee hereby waives and irrevocably quitclaims to the Company any and all claims, of any nature whatsoever, which Employee now or hereafter have for infringement of any and all proprietary rights assigned to the Company.

 

E. Exception to Assignments.  Employee understands that the provisions of this Agreement requiring assignment of Inventions to the Company do not apply to any invention which qualifies fully under the provisions of California Labor Code Section 2870 (attached hereto as Exhibit B). Employee will advise the Company promptly in writing of any inventions that Employee believes meet such provisions and are not otherwise disclosed on Exhibit A.

 

F. Previous Obligations.  Employee represents and warrants to the Company that Employee has no obligations to any previous employer that would interfere with or be infringed by the Company’s exclusive ownership rights in and to the Inventions as described above.

 

6.                                      Returning Company Documents.  Employee agrees that, at the time of termination of Employee’s employment relationship with the Company, Employee will deliver to the Company (and will not keep in Employee’s possession, recreate or deliver to anyone else) any and all devices, records, data, notes, reports, proposals, lists, correspondence, specifications, drawings, blueprints, sketches, laboratory notebooks, materials, flow charts, equipment, other documents or property, or reproductions of any aforementioned items developed by Employee pursuant to the employment relationship or otherwise belonging to the Company, its successors or assigns. Employee further agrees that to any property situated on the Company’s premises and owned by the Company, including disks and other storage media, filing cabinets or other work areas, is subject to inspection by Company personnel at any time with or without notice. In the event of the termination of the employment relationship, Employee agrees to sign and deliver the “Termination Certification” attached hereto as Exhibit B.

 

7.                                      Covenant Not to Compete During Employment.  Employee agrees that, during the continuance of this Agreement Employee will not, on the behalf of Employee or any other person or business entity, directly or indirectly, engage in any business or activity competitive with the business activities of Company as they are now undertaken by Company.

 

8.                                      Solicitation of Employees, Consultants and Other Parties.  Employee agrees that during the term of his or her Relationship with the Company, and for a period of twenty-four (24) months immediately following the termination of his or her Relationship with the Company for any reason, whether with or without cause, he or she shall not either directly or indirectly solicit, induce, recruit or encourage any of the Company’s employees or consultants to terminate their relationship with the Company, or attempt to solicit, induce, recruit, encourage or take away employees or consultants of the Company, either for himself or herself or for any other person or entity. Further, for a period of twenty-four (24) months following termination of Employee’s Relationship with the Company for any reason, with or without cause, Employee agrees that he or she shall not solicit any licensor to or customer of the Company or licensee of the Company’s products, in each case, that are known to Employee, with respect to any business, products or services that are competitive to the products or services offered by the Company or under development as of the date of termination of Employee’s Relationship with the Company.

 

 

9.                                      Arbitration.

 

a. All claims, disputes, controversies, or disagreements of any kind whatsoever (“Claims”), including any Claim arising out of or in connection with Employee’s employment or the termination of Employee’s employment, that may arise between Employee and the Company, including any Claims that may arise between Employee and the Company’s officers, directors, employees, or agents in their capacity as such, shall be submitted to a confidential final and binding arbitration before the American Arbitration Association in Los Angeles, California in accordance with the National Rules for the Resolution of Employment Disputes of The American Arbitration Association then existing.

 

b. Claims covered by this arbitration provision include, but are not limited to any dispute or controversy arising out of Employee’s employment, the events leading up to Employee being offered employment, the cessation of Employee’s employment, the compensation, terms, and other conditions of Employee’s employment, or statements made or actions taken at any time regarding Employee’s employment at Company which could have been brought in a court of competent jurisdiction, including, but not limited to, claims under the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990; Sections 1981 through 1988 of Title 42 of the United States Code; the National Labor Relations Act, as amended; the Fair Labor Standards Act, as amended; the federal Family and Medical Leave Act; the California Family Rights Act; the California Fair Employment and Housing Act, as amended; the California Minimum Wage Laws; The Equal Pay Law for California, as amended; the California Labor Code, as amended, including California Labor Code §§ 201 et seq., 970 et seq. and 1050 et seq.; the California Wage Orders, and any other federal, state, or local civil or human rights law, or any other local, state or federal law, regulation, or ordinance, as well as any claim based on any public policy, contract, tort, or common law or any claim for costs, fees, or other expenses, including attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Claims”). This arbitration provision does not require arbitration of claims for workers’ compensation or unemployment insurance. This Arbitration Agreement is intended to be construed as broadly as possible under applicable law so that all claims and defenses that could be raised before a court must instead be raised in arbitration. In addition, notwithstanding this arbitration provision, either party may file a request with a court of competent jurisdiction for equitable relief, including but not limited to injunctive relief, pending resolution of any dispute through the arbitration procedure set forth herein. Nothing in this arbitration provision shall be construed as precluding Employee from filing a charge or complaint with the California Department of Fair Employment and Housing, the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission, the National Labor Relations Board, or any other similar state or federal agency seeking administrative resolution of a dispute or claim. However, any claim that cannot be resolved administratively through such agency shall be subject to this Arbitration Agreement.

 

c. Company will pay the AAA case management and administrative fees, the court reporter fees for the arbitration hearing and the arbitrator’s fees and expenses. Employee will not be required to pay any fees which would exceed the amount of fees she would be required to pay if he had pursued his action in court. The arbitrator shall allow the parties to conduct adequate discovery to pursue any claims. The parties have the right to be represented by an attorney of their choice. Upon the filing of the arbitration, the parties shall stipulate that all proceedings, orders, evidence and substantive actions of the proceedings shall be protected as confidential under a protective order. The decision or award of the arbitrator shall be in writing and will include a statement of the reasons for the award and the findings and conclusions on which the award is based. The arbitrator’s power in respect to the issuance of an award under this provision shall be limited to the issuance of such an award consistent with and according to applicable California law.

 

10.                               Severability. The provisions of this Agreement are divisible; if any of the provisions shall be deemed invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed limited to the extent necessary to render it valid and enforceable and the remaining provisions of this Agreement shall continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way.

 

11.                               Governing Law. The validity, interpretation, construction and performance of this Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California.

 

 

12.                               Entire Agreement. This Agreement supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, and communications between Employee and the Company, whether written or oral, express or implied, relating to the subject matter of this Agreement and is intended as a complete and final expression of the terms of the agreement between Employee and the Company and shall not be changed or subject to change orally. The parties further agree and acknowledge that neither they nor anyone acting on their behalf made any inducements, agreements, promises, nor representations other than those set forth in this Agreement.

 

13.                               Amendment. This Agreement may not be altered or amended except in a writing signed by both parties to this Agreement.

 

14.                               Survival. The provisions of this Agreement shall survive the termination of the Relationship and the assignment of this Agreement by the Company to any successor in interest or other assignee.

 

15. ADVICE OF COUNSEL. EMPLOYEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT, IN, EXECUTING THIS AGREEMENT, EMPLOYEE HAS HAD THE OPPORTUNITY TO SEEK THE ADVICE OF INDEPENDENT LEGAL COUNSEL, AND EMPLOYEE HAS READ AND UNDERSTOOD ALL OF THE TERMS AND PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL NOT BE CONSTRUED AGAINST ANY PARTY BY REASON OF THE DRAFTING OR PREPARATION HEREOF.

Section 2870 of the California Labor Code is as follows:

 

(a)                                 Any provision in an employment agreement which provides that an employee shall assign, or offer to assign, any of his or her rights in an invention to his or her employer shall not apply to an invention that the employee developed entirely on his or her own time without using the employer’s equipment, supplies, facilities, or trade secret information except for those inventions that either:

 

(1) Relate at the time of conception or reduction to practice of the invention to the employer’s business, or actual or demonstrably anticipated research or development of the employer; or

 

(2) Result from any work performed by the employee for the employer.

 

(b)                                 To the extent a provision in an employment agreement purports to require an employee to assign an invention otherwise excluded from being required to be assigned under subdivision (a), the provision is against the public policy of this state and is unenforceable.
