TELLABS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE, INDIRECT OR SPECIAL DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOST PROFITS, LOSS OF USE OR LOSS OF DATA, UNDER ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY EVEN IF TELLABS WAS ADVISED OF THE LIKELIHOOD OF SUCH DAMAGES OR LIABILITIES. TELLABS' LIABILITY SHALL NOT EXCEED THE NET PURCHASE PRICE OR LICENSE FEE PAID FOR THE DELIVERABLE CAUSING THE DAMAGE, LOSS OR LIABILITY. THIS SECTION 7 SHALL ONLY BE LIMITED IF, AND TO THE EXTENT, REQUIRED BY THE APPLICABLE GOVERNING LAW.
8. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
- Tellabs shall defend Buyer from a third-party claim against Buyer asserting that a Product infringes a United States patent, copyright or trade secret ("Claim"), and Tellabs shall pay any settlement made by Tellabs, Buyer’s reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, and third-party damages finally awarded against Buyer, provided that:
- Buyer promptly notifies Tellabs in writing of the Claim; Tellabs has sole control of the defense and settlement;
- Buyer reasonably cooperates in providing information and assistance; and
- Buyer reasonably cooperates with any efforts that Tellabs may undertake to replace or modify the Product to avoid infringement.
- In addition, if Buyer is enjoined from using the Product by reason of such Claim or Tellabs determines in its sole judgment that an injunction is likely, then provided Buyer meets Buyer's obligations (a)-(d) in Subsection 8.1 and absent any replacement or modification provided by Tellabs to avoid infringement, Tellabs may at its sole election:
- obtain the rights necessary to permit continued use of such Product; or
- terminate this Agreement and any other agreement relating to the Product, allow Buyer to return such Product for a refund of the amount paid for such Product less depreciation, and if Buyer fails to do so, Buyer will give Tellabs access to Buyer’s facilities during normal business hours to retake the Product.
- Notwithstanding the above, Tellabs is not obligated to the extent the Claim is based upon:
- a modification made other than by Tellabs;
- Tellabs’ compliance with Buyer’s designs, instructions or specifications;
- combination of a Product with other equipment, materials or processes;
- use of a Product not in accordance with the applicable Documentation;
- use of a Product in violation of or otherwise outside the scope of this Agreement ((a)-(f) collectively, "Claim Exceptions"); or
- a Product that is a third party-branded product generally available to Buyer in the open market, but which Buyer instead procured through Tellabs as a line-item offering by Tellabs distinct from Tellabs-branded Product. Buyer shall, in a commensurate manner, defend Tellabs for any third-party Claim based upon any Claim Exceptions, and shall pay any settlement made by Buyer, Tellabs’ reasonable and verifiable costs and expenses, and any third-party damages finally awarded against Tellabs.
- This Section 8 states Tellabs’ sole obligations and Buyer’s exclusive remedies with respect to any third-party claim based upon intellectual property rights.
9. TERMINATION
- The license granted in Section 3 License Grant is effective for the life of the Hardware portion of the Product on which the Licensed Materials are delivered unless earlier terminated as provided in this Agreement or by Buyer in writing. This Agreement (including such license) will terminate immediately:
- upon any breach of Section 3 License Grant or Subsection16.5 (export compliance) or any incurable Buyer breach of this Agreement;
- if Buyer fails to cure any curable breach within thirty (30) days after notice of such breach; or
- as this Agreement otherwise provides. Immediately upon termination or Buyer's receipt of replacement Licensed Materials and other Tellabs confidential information, Buyer shall immediately cease all use of, and return or certify destruction of, the Licensed Materials and other Tellabs confidential information and all copies. Services may not be terminated in whole or in part without the prior written consent of Tellabs. Termination is not an exclusive remedy.

12. TITLE AND SECURITY INTEREST
Title to, and risk of loss of, a Product (excluding the Licensed Materials) shall pass to Buyer upon Shipment. Nonetheless, if the law of the place where such Product is destined requires that Tellabs hold title to retain a security interest in such Product, then title shall immediately revert to Tellabs if Buyer defaults on its payment obligations, but risk of loss shall remain with Buyer.

16. GENERAL
- Except for any purchase order issued by Tellabs, this Agreement states all of the promises, agreements and conditions regarding its subject matter, supersedes all prior understandings (whether written, oral or otherwise) and constitutes the entire agreement between the Parties. If any one or more of the provisions of this Agreement shall, for any reason, be held to be unenforceable (in whole or in part) in any respect, then such unenforceable provision (or part thereof) shall be construed to the maximum extent that such provision(s) could be enforceable. Unless the Parties have mutually executed an agreement governing the purchase of Deliverables subject to the Order, all Orders shall be fulfilled strictly in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement, and no other terms and conditions shall apply.
- Buyer shall not assign or transfer the Licensed Materials or this Agreement or any interest in the foregoing except with Tellabs’ prior written consent.
- Each Party is engaged in an independent business and shall perform its obligations under this Agreement as an independent contractor and not as the agent, employee or servant of the other Party. Each Party shall be responsible for its own actions and those of its subordinates, employees, agents and subcontractors during the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. Each Party shall be solely responsible for the employment, direction, supervision, compensation and discharge of its employees, agents and subcontractors, including but not limited to compliance with social security, withholding and all other regulations governing such matters.
- Any failure by either Party (or by Tellabs’ Subcontractors) to fulfil any of its obligations shall not be deemed a breach of this Agreement if that failure is due to Force Majeure.

Each Party shall take reasonable steps to limit the effect of Force Majeure. If Force Majeure continues for more than six (6) months, then either Party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement upon written notice.

- No changes or additions to this Agreement shall be effective unless in writing and signed by Tellabs' authorized representative. Tellabs' failure to insist upon strict adherence to any term or condition of this Agreement shall not be a waiver by Tellabs of its right to thereafter insist upon strict adherence to that, or any other, term or condition.
- The following Sections and/or provisions shall survive the termination of this Agreement:
- Section 3 License Grant, Section 5 Confidentiality, Section 6 Limited Warranties; Disclaimer, Section 7 Limitation of Liability, Section 8 Intellectual Property, and Section 12 Title and Security Interest of Tellabs Standard Terms and Conditions for Tellabs Deliverables;

- If a dispute arises under this Agreement which is not resolved within thirty (30) days from the date that either Party provides the other Party with written notice of the existence thereof, then each Party shall designate an executive who is authorized to investigate, negotiate and settle the dispute. The executives shall exercise good faith efforts to settle the dispute. If the executives do not resolve the dispute within thirty (30) days (or an extended period if they so agree), then dispute resolution procedure shall be as follows:
- If the Tellabs entity that executed this Agreement is a US entity, then the Parties shall submit the dispute to non-binding mediation. The venue of such mediation shall be Dallas County, Texas, USA. The Parties shall share equally the costs and expenses of the mediation, except that each Party shall bear its own attorneys’ fees. If the dispute is not resolved through mediation within thirty (30) days of the mediator’s appointment, then the Parties may submit the dispute to litigation, the venue for which shall be exclusively in the appropriate state of federal court located in Dallas County, Texas, USA. The Parties consent to such venue and courts and waive any potential claim that the same are inconvenient. No litigation or any other action pertaining to a dispute shall be pursued unless this dispute resolution procedure has been exhausted. Nonetheless, either Party at any time may pursue equitable relief before any court of competent jurisdiction in order to protect its intellectual property rights or Confidential Information;
- If the Tellabs entity that executed this Agreement is a non-US entity, then the Parties shall submit the dispute to arbitration.
