9. Limitation of Remedies and Damages.
   8.1 NEITHER PARTY SHALL BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF USE, LOST DATA, FAILURE OF SECURITY MECHANISMS, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR ANY INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND (INCLUDING LOST PROFITS), REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES IN ADVANCE.
   8.2 NOTWITHSTANDING ANY OTHER PROVISION OF THIS MLA, SPECTRA’S AND AUTHORIZED RESELLER’S, IF ANY, ENTIRE LIABILITY TO LICENSEE SHALL NOT EXCEED THE AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY LICENSEE UNDER THIS MLA.
   8.3 THIS SECTION 8 SHALL NOT APPLY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM ARISING UNDER THE SECTIONS TITLED “GRANT OF LICENSE,” “LICENSE RESTRICTIONS” OR “CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.”

10.  Indemnification.
    (a) Spectra shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Licensee from and against any claim of infringement of a patent, copyright, or trademark asserted against Licensee by a third party based upon Licensee’s use of the Software in accordance with the terms of this MLA, provided that Spectra shall have received from Licensee (i) prompt written notice of such claim (but in any event notice in sufficient time for Spectra to respond without prejudice), (ii) the exclusive right to control and direct the investigation, defense, and settlement (if applicable) of such claim, and (iii) all reasonably necessary cooperation of Licensee.
    (b) If Licensee’s use of any of the Software is, or in Spectra’s opinion is likely to be, enjoined due to the type of infringement specified above, or if required by settlement, Spectra may, in its sole discretion (i) substitute for the Software substantially functionally similar programs and documentation, (ii) procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Software, or if (i) and (ii) are commercially impracticable, (iii) terminate the MLA and refund to Licensee the license fee.
    (c) The foregoing indemnification obligation of Spectra shall not apply if the Software is modified by any person other than Spectra, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such modification, if the Software is combined with other non-Spectra products or process not authorized by Spectra, but solely to the extent the alleged infringement is caused by such combination, to any unauthorized use of the Software, to any unsupported release of the Software, or to any open source software or other third-party code contained within the Software. THIS SECTION 9 SETS FORTH SPECTRA’S AND RESELLER’S, IF ANY, SOLE LIABILITY AND LICENSEE’S SOLE AND EXCLUSIVE REMEDY WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIM OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT.

11. Confidential Information.
    Each party agrees that all code, inventions, know-how, business, technical and financial information it obtains (“Receiving Party”) from the disclosing party (“Disclosing Party”) constitute the confidential property of the Disclosing Party (“Confidential Information”), provided that it is identified as confidential at the time of disclosure or should be reasonably known by the Receiving Party to be Confidential Information due to the nature of the information disclosed and the circumstances surrounding the disclosure. Any software, documentation or technical information provided by Spectra (or its agents), performance information relating to the Software, and the terms of this MLA shall be deemed Confidential Information of Spectra without any marking or further designation.
    Except as expressly authorized herein, the Receiving Party will hold in confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information except as necessary to carry out the purpose of this MLA. The Receiving Party’s nondisclosure obligation shall not apply to information which the Receiving Party can document (a) was rightfully in its possession or known to it prior to receipt of the Confidential Information, (b) is or has become public knowledge through no fault of the Receiving Party, (c) is rightfully obtained by the Receiving Party from a third party without breach of any confidentiality obligation, (d) is independently developed by employees of the Receiving Party who had no access to such information, or (e) is required to be disclosed pursuant to a regulation, law or court order (but only to the minimum extent required to comply with such regulation or order and with advance notice to the Disclosing Party). The Receiving Party acknowledges that disclosure of Confidential Information would cause substantial harm for which damages alone would not be a sufficient remedy, and therefore that upon any such disclosure by the Receiving Party the Disclosing Party shall be entitled to appropriate equitable relief in addition to whatever other remedies it might have at law.

12. General.
    11.1 Assignment. This MLA will bind and inure to the benefit of each party’s permitted successors and assigns. Neither party shall assign this MLA (or any part thereof) without the advance written consent of the other party, except that either party may assign this MLA in connection with a merger, reorganization, acquisition or other transfer of all or substantially all of such party’s assets or voting securities. Any attempt to transfer or assign this MLA except as expressly authorized under this section 11.1 is null and void.
    11.2 Severability. If any provision of this MLA shall be adjudged by any court of competent jurisdiction to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision shall be limited to the minimum extent necessary so that this MLA shall otherwise remain in effect.
    11.3 Governing Law; Jurisdiction and Venue. This MLA shall be governed by the laws of the State of Colorado and the United States without regard to conflicts of laws provisions thereof, and without regard to the United Nations Convention on the International Sale of Goods. Except where statutory laws prohibit Licensee from entering into arbitration or choice of laws, any dispute or claim relating in any way to Licensee’s use of the Software, or of a copyright issue, or to any associated support services, will be resolved by binding arbitration in Denver, Colorado. The prevailing party in any action to enforce this MLA will be entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with such action.
    11.4 Amendments; Waivers. No supplement, modification, or amendment of this MLA shall be binding, unless executed in writing by an authorized representative of both parties. No waiver will be implied from conduct or failure to enforce or exercise rights under this MLA. No provision of any purchase order or other business form employed by Licensee will supersede the terms and conditions of this MLA, and any such document relating to this MLA shall be for administrative purposes only and shall have no legal effect.
    11.5 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any delay or failure to perform any obligation under this MLA (except for a failure to pay fees) if the delay or failure is due to events which are beyond the reasonable control of such party, including but not limited to any strike, blockade, war, act of terrorism, riot, natural disaster, failure or diminishment of power or of telecommunications or data networks or services, or refusal of approval or a license by a government agency.
    11.6 Export Compliance. Licensee acknowledges that the Software is subject to export restrictions by the United States government and import restrictions by certain foreign governments. Licensee shall not and shall not allow any third- party to remove or export from the United States or allow the export or re- export of any part of the Software or any direct product thereof (a) into (or to a national or resident of) any embargoed or terrorist-supporting country, (b) to anyone on the U.S. Commerce Department’s Table of Denial Orders or U.S. Treasury Department’s list of Specially Designated Nationals, (c) to any country to which such export or re-export is restricted or prohibited, or as to
    which the United States government or any agency thereof requires an export license or other governmental approval at the time of export or re-export without first obtaining such license or approval, or (d) otherwise in violation of any export or import restrictions, laws or regulations of any United States or foreign agency or authority. Licensee agrees to the foregoing and warrants that it is not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any such prohibited country or on any such prohibited party list. The Software is further restricted from being used for the design or development of nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons or missile technology, or for terrorist activity,
    without the prior permission of the United States government.
    11.7 Third-Party Code. The Software may contain or be provided with components subject to the terms and conditions of third party “open source” software licenses (“Open Source Software”). Open Source Software may be identified in the Documentation, or Spectra shall provide a list of the Open Source Software for a particular version of the Software to Licensee upon Licensee’s written request.
    To the extent required by the license that accompanies the Open Source Software, the terms of such license will apply in lieu of the terms of this MLA with respect to such Open Source Software.
    11.8 Entire Agreement. This MLA is the complete and exclusive statement of the mutual understanding of the parties and supersedes and cancels all previous written and oral agreements and communications relating to the subject matter contained herein.
