SOFTWARE PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS
1.SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION WARRANTIES
To the extent Products include or constitute Software and related Documentation, in addition to the warranties set forth in Article (7) of the Agreement, Supplier hereby warrants and represents to HP that:
1.1 Supplier has, as of date of delivery, clear title for sufficient proprietary rights in and to the Software and Documentation to grant HP any license, lease or other non-ownership rights granted in and to the Software and Documentation and that the Software and Documentation are free of any and all restrictions, settlements, judgments or adverse claims that might adversely affect any such right granted HP;
1.2 The software made by supplier will not (1) contain lock out devices or have any virus, disabling device, time bomb, Trojan horse, back door or any other harmful component, (2) replicate, transmit or activate itself without control of a person operating the computing equipment on which it resides, (3) alter, damage or erase any data or other computer programs without control of a person operating the computing equipment on which it resides or (4) contain any code, key, node lock, time-out or other function whether implemented by electronic, mechanical or other means which restricts or may restrict use or access to programs or data based on residency on a specific hard ware configuration, frequency or duration of use, or other limiting criteria. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following features shall be allowed but only where the parties mutually agree to have the Software include such features: (a) a trial ware feature to allow customers to use a feature for a specific period of time on a trial basis, and then automatically shut-off the feature, and; (b) a licensing feature to enable specific software functions such as Snapshot and Volume Copy via an applied license certificate file, or in other words, a license key.
1.3 The Software and Documentation, including accompanying trademarks, copyrights and trade names, do not violate or infringe any US, EU, Canada, Israel, Australia, India, China and Japan patent, copy right, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary right of any third party, that Supplier is not aware of any facts upon which such a claim for infringement could be based and that Supplier will promptly notify HP if it becomes aware of any claim or any facts upon which a claim could be based.
Supplier hereby assigns to HP the benefits of all warranties applicable to any third-party software licensed or sublicensed by HP from Supplier.
2.SOFTWARE SUPPORT
2.1 General. Software supplied under this Agreement falls into two general categories: Software which is licensed for no extra fee other than the purchase price of the Product with which it is distributed (often imbedded on the Product automatically as firmware) (referred to herein as "Firmware" for purposes of this Section 2), and; Software which is licensed for an additional fee and marketed as a stand-alone product, such as for example, but not limited, Snapshot and Volume Copy described in Amendment 5 to the Agreement (referred to as "For-a-Fee Software Products" for purposes of this Section 2). To be clear, the Management GUI described in this Exhibit is "Firmware" of the base, hardware RAID System which it manages for purposes of this Exhibit. Firmware support also will comply with Exhibit K-1 of this
Exhibit 10.4
Agreement. All Software (Firmware as well as For-a-Fee Software Products) shall meet the requirements of its respective Specifications.
2.2 Support to HP. Supplier agrees to provide secondary support to HP with respect to all Software as further described herein. Support for Firmware shall be provided by Supplier for no additional fee other than the original purchase price of the hard ware Product with which the Firmware was distributed during the same warranty period as that of the hardware Product with which it is distributed. With respect to For-a-Fee Software Products, however, support will be provided for free during the […***…] warranty period but, thereafter, support shall only be provided in exchange for HP's payment of the […***…] fees described in Amendment 5. There shall be no support requirement for For-a-Fee Software Products (other than the […***…] warranty) to HP on behalf of end-users who have not purchased an annual maintenance contract.
2.2 Support Terms. Supplier agrees to maintain such number of qualified personnel as is necessary to provide timely and knowledgeable maintenance and support service. Maintenance and support shall include, but not be limited to:
(i) | Supplier will provide "roadmap" (pursuant to confidentiality obligations) every […***…] with visibility to their efforts […***…] out; |
(ii) | Receiving defect reports from HP and fixing defects or providing workarounds; |
(iii) | Maintaining an electronic mail address and a telephone number for HP to report problems and receive assistance; |
(iv) | Providing prompt communication and assistance to HP in the event Supplier determines a problem is related to the Software: |
(v) | Providing updates, when appropriate, and instructions for implementation; and |
(vi) | Providing a designated, knowledgeable support contact for providing technical support, which may be changed by written notice. |
2.3 Response to Defects. Supplier agrees to take appropriate corrective action on any defect reports it receives, including report classifications of Escalation, Critical, Serious, Medium, and Low, after receipt of notice from HP. Supplier shall notify HP of the resolution and provide HP with the necessary data, equipment and/or software to allow HP to distribute the solution to its customers.
2.4 Response to Critical Defects. In the event a critical defect is discovered, Supplier agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to correct the defect and provide such correction to HP within […***…] from determination of root cause. A critical defect is generally defined as one which causes the system not to function or to lose data, and for which there is no known workaround. Reasonable, actual reproduction and shipping costs to HP shall be borne by Supplier for the Licensed Software.
2.5 Enhancement Requests. HP may from time to time request enhancements to a software package. Such enhancements, and any accompanying terms and conditions, shall be subject to the mutual agreement of the parties and may include new and incremental charges to HP.
2.6 Support Information. Supplier will provide HP information to enable HP to train its support personnel on the Licensed Software. This includes, but is not limited to, information on troubleshooting

techniques and diagnostics, performance tuning, and software and internal data structure design overview.Supplier will provide ongoing information on known problems and open problems under investigation, bug fixes, and enhancement requests.
