NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, THE FAILURE OF CUSTOMER TO COMPLY WITH THE OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 4 MAY BE DEEMED A MATERIAL BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT.

5. Warranties.

5.1 MX warrants that the Services will meet the requirements set forth in the Service Level Agreement attached hereto as Exhibit A. In the event of a breach of the foregoing warranty, as Customer’s sole and exclusive remedy, MX will provide the remedy set forth in the Service Level Agreement.

5.2 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 5, MX MAKES NO WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ACCURACY OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.

Customer understands and acknowledges that there is no guarantee that all spam and all viruses will be eliminated and that legitimate email will not be occasionally quarantined as spam, and that the above warranty does not include any such promises. Further, Disaster Recovery services are provided only up to the spooling level selected by the Customer, and if such spooling level is exceeded, messages may bounce back to the sender.

6. Ownership. The Services and all intellectual property rights relating to the Services are and shall remain the exclusive property of Postini.

7. Confidentiality.

7.1 MX and Customer both acknowledge that in the course of this Contract, each party may have access to the other’s Confidential Information. “Confidential Information,” as used in this Contract, means information not generally known to the public, in written, oral or any other form, that a party designates as being confidential or that, under the circumstances surrounding disclosure, should be clear that it is confidential. For clarity, Customer’s Confidential Information shall also include Customer’s emails that are subject to the Services.

7.2 The obligations of this Section 7 shall not apply to Confidential Information that (i) was in the possession of, or was rightfully known by a receiving party, without an obligation to maintain its confidentiality, prior to the time of disclosure; (ii) is or becomes generally known to the public without violation of this Contract; or (iii) is obtained by a receiving party in good faith from a third party having the right to disclose it without an obligation of confidentiality.

7.3 Each party hereby agrees that during the term of this Contract and for a period of two (2) years after the expiration of this Contract, it will not make any such Confidential Information available to any third party and will not use the other’s Confidential Information for any purposes other than to exercise its rights and perform its obligations under this Contract. Each party shall take all reasonable steps to ensure that the other’s Confidential Information is not disclosed or distributed by its employees or agents in violation of the terms of this Contract, and in any event each party shall exercise the same prudent practice in preserving this information as it does to preserve its own Confidential Information. The foregoing obligations will not restrict either party from disclosing the other party’s Confidential Information or the terms and conditions of this Contract pursuant to the order or requirement of a court or other governmental body, provided that the party required to make such disclosure gives prompt notice to the other party to enable it to contest such order or requirement.

8. Indemnity. MX, at its expense, shall indemnify, defend and hold harmless Customer against any losses, costs and damages arising from a claim by a third party against Customer that the Services, or any part thereof, infringe any U.S. intellectual property or proprietary rights of such third party or misappropriates any protected trade secret of such third party. MX’s obligations under this Section 8 are subject to Customer providing MX with (i) prompt written notice of the claim, (ii) sole control over the defense or settlement (subject, in the case of settlement, to Customer’s consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed), and (iii) reasonable support and cooperation with regard to the defense. In the event that MX’s right to provide the Services is enjoined or in MX’s reasonable opinion is likely to be enjoined, MX may, at its expense, obtain the right to continue providing the Services, replace or modify the Services so that they become non-infringing but remain functionally equivalent, or if such remedies are not reasonably available, terminate this Contract without liability to Customer.

9. Limitation of Liability.

EXCEPT REGARDING THE CONFIDENTIALITY OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 7 IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF GOODWILL), ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS CONTRACT OR THE PERFORMANCE OR OPERATION OF THE SERVICES, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.

Except regarding the indemnity obligations under Section 8, “Indemnity,” in no event shall either party’s liability for any damages hereunder exceed the amounts paid by Customer to MX during the twelve (12) month period preceding the causation of the damages.

10. Assignment. Customer may assign this Contract in its entirety, but not in parts, to its parent company, affiliate or subsidiary, or in connection with a merger, consolidation, or sale or other disposition of all or substantially all of its assets. Any other assignment shall be null and void, except with MX’s prior written consent. This Agreement is freely assignable by MX. This Contract and all obligations shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the parties’ successors and lawful assignees.

11. Governing Law and Dispute Resolution. This Contract and any controversies arising out of or in relation with this Contract shall be governed by California law, without giving effect to its principles of conflicts of law.

EXHIBIT A

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT (“SLA”)

1. Service Availability Commitment. The Services shall be operational at least 99.9% of the time in any given month during the term of the Contract, meaning that the Outage Percentage (as defined below) in such given month shall be not more than .1%. An outage (Outage) means that Postini fails to apply filtering in accordance with Customer’s configuration selection. Outage does not include service suspension (i) for reasons outside of MX’s or Postini’s sphere of control (as described in Section 4 of this SLA) or (ii) during times of scheduled maintenance (as described in Section 5 of this SLA). If a dispute arises about whether or not an Outage occurred, MX shall make a determination in good faith based on its system logs, monitoring reports and configuration records.. If one or more Outages occur in a given month, the total duration of such Outages during such month, expressed as a percentage of the total time during such month, shall be the outage percentage (the Outage Percentage).

2. Outage Reporting Process. Customer must inform MX’s Customer Support Department in writing or by email within fourteen (14) days of the time it first notices an Outage or first believes that there has been an Outage. Failure to comply with this requirement will forfeit Customer’s right to receive a remedy for the Outage as described in Section 3 of this SLA.

3. Remedy. If an Outage occurs, and if Customer has fulfilled all of its obligations under the Contract and none of the exceptions in Section 4 of this SLA applies, Customer shall have the following sole and exclusive remedy: MX will provide Customer with a pro-rata credit on Customer’s fee for the month in which the Outage occurred. The pro-rata credit shall be calculated by multiplying the Outage Percentage with Customer’s total monthly fee in the month during which the Outage occurred. Furthermore, if Customer experiences one (1) or more Outage in each of three (3) consecutive calendar months and/or three (3) or more Outages in any period of thirty (30) consecutive days, Customer can terminate the Contract for cause upon thirty (30) days prior written notice.

4. Exceptions. Customer shall not have any remedies under the Contract, including this SLA, in connection with any circumstance addressed in Section 16, Force Majeure of the Services Contract.

5. Scheduled Maintenance. From time to time, Postini performs scheduled maintenance, including maintenance at the third party data centers at which the Services are hosted and maintenance on Postini’s servers and software. Postini’s architecture is designed to enable Postini to provide scheduled maintenance in a manner designed not to interrupt Customer’s receipt of the Services. It is Postini’s policy to make all reasonable attempts to ensure that scheduled maintenance that affect the availability of the Services for more than thirty (30) minutes is performed between 12:00 a.m. and 5:00 a.m. Pacifıc Time, Monday through Friday (excluding U.S. holidays), or between 12:00 p.m. and 5 a.m. Pacifıc Time on Saturday, Sunday and U.S. holidays.
