“CUSTOMER” SHALL MEAN THE CUSTOMER IDENTIFIED IN AND LOCATED AT THE ADDRESS STATED IN THE ORDER SCHEDULE AND / OR STATEMENT OF WORK REFERENCING THIS AGREEMENT. “PLA AGREEMENT REFERENCE #” SHALL MEAN THE APPLICABLE REFERENCE NUMBER IDENTIFYING THE PLA BETWEEN COVERITY AND CUSTOMER REFERENCED IN THIS AGREEMENT, AND “PLA EFFECTIVE DATE” MEANS THE EFFECTIVE DATE OF THE PLA.

 

1. 1. SERVICES.

1.1. Services. Customer may contract to retain Coverity to provide Customer with the services set out in the applicable Statement of Work to this Agreement (collectively the “Services“).

1.2. Statements of Work. Customer will contract for Services by executing one or more written statements of work (each a “Statement of Work“). A Statement of Work shall identify the Services that Customer requests Coverity to provide, the duration of the Services, the fees payable by Customer for the Services, and the payment structure. To be effective, each Statement of Work must reference this Agreement, and be agreed to in writing by an authorized representative of Coverity and Customer, and once so agreed upon will be incorporated herein by reference.

1.3. Performance of Services. Coverity will perform the Services in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement and of each Statement of Work. The Services shall be performed solely in relationship to the licenses to the Software granted by Coverity to Customer under the Product License Agreement executed between the parties on the PLA Effective Date (the “PLA“). The terms of the PLA are incorporated herein by reference. All capitalized terms that are not defined in this Agreement will have the meaning set forth in the PLA. All terms of the PLA and Order Schedule that are not specifically amended herein will remain in full effect. Nothing in this Agreement grants Customer any rights to the Software other than as explicitly stated herein.

1.4. Customer Responsibilities. Customer will provide Coverity with access to Customer’s sites and facilities during Customer’s normal business hours as reasonably required by Coverity to perform the Services. Customer will also make available to Coverity any data, information and any other materials reasonably required by Coverity to perform the Services, including, but not limited to, any data, information or materials specifically identified in the Statement of Work (collectively, “Customer Materials“).

1.5. Relationship of the Parties. Coverity is performing the Services as an independent contractor, not as an employee, agent, joint venturer or partner of Customer. Coverity acknowledges and agrees that its personnel are not eligible for or entitled to receive any compensation, benefits or other incidents of employment that Customer makes available to its employees. Accordingly, for a period of twelve (12) months following the completion of Services, Customer agrees not to directly or indirectly solicit for employment any Coverity employee or subcontractor, provided that a job posting available to the general public shall not be deemed such a solicitation.

2. PAYMENT.

2.1. Fees and Expenses. In consideration for the Services, Customer will pay Coverity fees in accordance with the terms set forth in the applicable Statement of Work. In addition, Customer will reimburse Coverity for all reasonable and customary travel, lodging and other related expenses incurred by Coverity or its personnel in connection with the performance of Services in accordance with the terms set forth in the Statement of Work and upon being provided with receipts and other documentation for all such expenses.

2.2. Payment Terms. Unless otherwise agreed to in a specific Statement of Work, Coverity will invoice Customer on a monthly basis for all applicable fees and expenses based on the Services performed by Coverity during the preceding month. Customer will pay each such invoice no later than thirty (30) days after Customer’s receipt thereof. Any invoice not paid within such thirty (30) day period will accrue interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum amount permitted by law, whichever is lower.

2.3. Taxes. All fees and expenses charged by Coverity hereunder are net of sales, use, value added or other applicable taxes, tariffs or duties, payment of which will be the sole responsibility of Customer (excluding any taxes based on Coverity’s net income). Customer will promptly reimburse Coverity for any such amounts that Coverity pays on Customer’s behalf.

3. OWNERSHIP.

3.1. Pre-Existing Material. Material and associated intellectual property rights developed by a party prior to or outside of the scope of a Statement of Work (“Pre-Existing Material“) shall be, as between the parties, owned by the developing party.

3.2. Coverity-Owned Work Product. Coverity shall own all rights, title and interest in methodologies, processes, and documentation, and all intellectual property rights therein, developed during the provision of the Services involving (i) implementation or installation of products of Coverity (the “Software“) into Customer’s environment, (ii) configuration of workflow or reporting capabilities of the Software, and (iii) optimization of the use of the Software in Customer’s environment (collectively, the “Coverity-Owned Work Product“).

3.3. License from Coverity. Coverity hereby grants to Customer, for the License Term listed in the applicable Order Schedule of the Software license granted to Customer under the PLA, a nonexclusive, worldwide, right to use, reproduce and create derivative works of any Pre-Existing Material owned by Coverity and incorporated into deliverables of the Services, and the Coverity-Owned Work Product, for Customer’s internal business purposes to aid in Customer’s use of Software licensed by it.

3.4. Custom Work Product. Subject to Coverity’s underlying rights in the Software, the Pre-Existing Material owned by Coverity, and the Coverity-Owned Work Product, Customer shall own all rights, title and interest in work product, and all intellectual property rights therein, developed during the performance of the Services that is customized to incorporate Customer’s Confidential Information (collectively, “Custom Work Product“). The terms of this Section 3.4 shall apply only to such work product identified as Custom Work Product in the applicable Statement of Work. Unless the applicable Statement of Work specifies performance milestones (“Milestones“) and a process for Customer’s review, testing and acceptance (“Acceptance Process“) of the Custom Work Product, no Milestones or Acceptance Process will apply, and the Custom Work Product shall be deemed accepted when provided to Customer. Customer hereby grants to Coverity a nonexclusive, worldwide, perpetual right to use, reproduce and create derivative works of the Custom Work Product (1) for Coverity’s internal business purposes, and (2) in connection with Coverity’s product or service offerings on the condition that Coverity removes any and all Customer Confidential Information from the Custom Work Product prior to including it in any offering to other parties.

3.5. Other Materials. Subject to Sections 3.1, 3.2, 3.3 and 3.4 above, and unless otherwise set forth in a Statement of Work, the parties shall jointly own in equal undivided interests all right, title and interest in and to any other work product, and all intellectual property rights therein, developed during the performance of the Services (collectively “Jointly Owned Materials“). The terms of this Section 3.5 shall apply only to such work product identified as Jointly Owned Materials in the applicable Statement of Work. The parties agree: (1) to cooperate in the preparation of and execute any and all documents necessary to effectuate such equal and undivided interests thereto, and (2) that each shall have the right to freely use, exploit, protect, maintain, license, transfer and enforce its rights to Jointly Owned Material with no royalty payment or accounting to the other party, provided each party shall bear half of all expenses incurred in securing rights with respect to Jointly Owned Material.

The foregoing obligations will not restrict either party from disclosing Confidential Information of the other party: (a) pursuant to the order or requirement of a court, administrative agency, or other governmental body, provided that the party required to make such a disclosure gives reasonable notice to the other party to contest such order or requirement; and (b) on a confidential basis to its legal or financial advisors that need to know in order to provide business advice to such party. In addition, each party may disclose the terms and conditions of this Agreement: (i) as required under applicable securities regulations; and (ii) on a confidential basis to present or future providers of venture capital and/or potential private investors in or acquirers of such party.

4.4. Right of Equitable Relief. The parties acknowledge that violations of the covenants and obligations of this Agreement may cause the non-breaching party irreparable injury for which an adequate remedy at law may not be available.
