be limited as follows: (i) FTI and its affiliates will be liable only up to the
amount of damages as typically foreseeable at the time of entering into the
purchase agreement in respect of damages caused by a slightly negligent breach
of a material contractual obligation and (ii) FTI and its affiliates will not
be liable for damages caused by a slightly negligent breach of a non-material
contractual obligation.
13.2.2
The aforesaid limitation of liability will not apply to any mandatory statutory
liability, in particular, to liability under the German Product Liability Act,
liability for assuming a specific guarantee or liability for culpably caused
personal injuries.

in particular to make back-up copies of the Software and your computer data

of launches unless extended by FTI upon your acquisition of a full retail
license. ACCESS TO ANY FILES OR OUTPUT CREATED WITH SUCH SOFTWARE OR ANY
PRODUCT ASSOCIATED WITH SUCH SOFTWARE IS ENTIRELY AT YOUR OWN RISK.
14.
Proprietary Right
Infringement
14.1.
FTI will defend the Customer against a claim that the Support Materials or FTI
Software used as authorized under this Agreement infringes any Canadian or
United States patent, copyright, trade mark or trade secret and will indemnify
the Customer against all costs, damages and legal fees finally awarded against
the Customer resulting from such a claim, subject to the limitation of
liability set forth in Section 8, provided that the Customer (i) notifies FTI
promptly in writing of any such claim, (ii) gives FTI full information and
assistance to settle and/or defend the claim, and (iii) gives FTI full
authority to control the defence and/or settle any such claim and provided that
the claim is not based upon the use or combination of the FTI Software with any
software not supplied to the Customer by FTI, or the Customer's modification of
the FTI Software or the Support Materials. FTI shall not be liable for any costs,
expenses, or damages, incurred by the Customer without FTI's prior written
authorization, or if the Customer fails to comply with conditions (i), (ii), or
(iii) herein.
14.2.
If the FTI Software or Support Materials become, or in FTI's judgment is likely
to become, the subject of a claim that infringes a patent, copyright, trade
mark, or trade secret, or if FTI settles a claim of infringement, FTI may at
its sole option and discretion (i) obtain for the Customer the right to
continue using the FTI Software and Support Materials, (ii) replace or modify
them to make them not infringing, or (iii) terminate this Agreement and refund
to the Customer an amount equal to the License Fee paid by the Customer
multiplied by an amount which is equal to the Unexpired Period of Use divided
by the Term of the License. In this Section the term "Unexpired Period of
Use" means the period between the date that FTI terminates this Agreement
under this Section 9(2) and the end of the Term of the License, and the term
"Term of the License" means the period which is the shorter of five
(5) years and the term of the license set forth above.
14.3.
This section states the entire liability of FTI and the exclusive remedy of the
Customer with respect to any claim of infringement or misappropriation of any
industrial or intellectual property right including any patent, copyright,
trade mark, or trade secret.
15.
Severability. If any provisions of this Agreement shall for any reason be held
illegal or unenforceable, such provision shall be deemed separable from the remaining
provisions of this Agreement and shall in no way affect or impair the validity
or the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement.
16.
Waiver. This Agreement, and any of its terms, may not be waived,
altered, or modified except by a written agreement executed between the
Customer and FTI. No delay or failure of either party in exercising any right
and no partial or single exercise of any right shall be deemed to constitute a
waiver of that right or any rights under this Agreement.
17.
Publicity. The Licensee hereby grants Forming Technologies Incorporated the
right to use the name of the Customer in any news release, public announcement,
advertisement, or other form of publicity without further notification.
