(b)    If Cloudera fails to deliver Optimizations or other Deliverables that comply with the applicable Specifications in accordance with the schedule set forth in the Committed Release Roadmap, then Cloudera will deliver the applicable Optimizations or other Deliverables, at its own expense, in the next major or minor release cycle for CDH, unless Intel agrees in writing or by email to defer such delivery. If Cloudera fails to deliver the applicable Optimizations within the next release cycle (or, as applicable, the deferral period agreed to by Intel), then executives of each party will meet within thirty (30) days to discuss and attempt a resolution. If Intel and Cloudera are unable to agree on an acceptable timeline for delivery of the applicable Optimizations, or if after agreement Cloudera fails to deliver the applicable Optimizations at the agreed time, then executives of each party will meet again within thirty (30) days to discuss additional efforts to be undertaken, up to and including possible termination of the Agreement. After a reasonable period of no more than thirty (30) more days, if either party determines in good faith that the resolution effort has failed, it may terminate the Agreement upon thirty (30) days’ written notice to the other. The foregoing termination right will not apply if the delay is caused by Intel or by circumstances beyond Cloudera’s reasonable control, but in such event, promptly upon becoming aware of such delay caused by Intel or of such circumstances beyond Cloudera’s reasonable control, Cloudera must notify Intel of the problem and the effect that such delay or circumstances will have on Cloudera’s ability to deliver the applicable Optimizations.
2.4    Program Management. During the two week period after the Effective Date, and regularly during the implementation of the Joint Roadmap thereafter, the Alliance Managers will meet at mutually acceptable times and locations, or make contact via telephone, to discuss the Collaboration, and the transition, marketing and Go-To-Market Plan activities described in Section 5, and other matters relating to this Agreement as appropriate. The Alliance Managers will jointly prepare a written report after each meeting/discussion that describes relevant issues raised and conclusions reached during the preceding period. The Alliance Managers will also work together to schedule regular meetings to review the progress of the parties under this Agreement between executives of each party, including quarterly business review meetings. At the quarterly business review meetings, the parties’ executive representatives will, among other things, review the then-current feature set and pricing of CDH and CS Enterprise, and discuss whether Cloudera will adjust such feature set and/or pricing to encourage broad enterprise adoption

8.    CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Confidential Information disclosed or received by either party under this Agreement will be subject to the MNDA. In addition, this Agreement and its terms and conditions will be subject to Section 9 of the MNDA, except that in the event that either party is legally compelled to disclose the existence or any of the terms of this Agreement, such party will provide the other party with prompt written notice of that fact before such disclosure and will use its best efforts to fully cooperate with the other party to seek a protective order, confidential treatment, or other appropriate remedy with respect to the disclosure. In such event, the compelled party will furnish for disclosure only that portion of the information that is legally required and will exercise its best efforts to obtain reliable assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded such information to the maximum extent possible under law. Each party agrees that it will provide the other party with drafts of any documents, press releases or other filings in which such party is required to disclose the existence or any of the terms of this Agreement or any other Confidential Information as soon as possible but in no event less than five (5) business days prior to the filing or disclosure thereof, and that it will make any changes to such materials as requested by the other party to the extent permitted by law or any rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), as applicable. If confidential treatment is requested by the other party, the compelled party agrees to file such request for confidential treatment and use its best efforts in responding to any SEC comments and pursuing the grant of confidential treatment, in both cases, fully cooperating with the other party (including providing the other party with an opportunity to review and comment on the confidential treatment request and the responses to any SEC comments). Neither party will file this Agreement with any governmental authority or any regulatory body, or disclose the identity of the other party or the existence or any of the terms of this Agreement in any filing except as permitted above. In addition, further disclosures or discussions between the parties may require that the parties enter into additional non-disclosure agreements with respect to particular information or materials. For avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding anything to the contrary in any of the Transaction Agreements, the Transaction NDA will not apply to any information or materials disclosed or received by either party under or pursuant to this Agreement.

10.    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
EXCEPT FOR BREACH OF SECTION 8, (A) IN NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS OR LOSS OF REVENUE, WHETHER OR NOT ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, OR OTHERWISE, AND (B) IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF EITHER PARTY TO THE OTHER EXCEED (1) EIGHT MILLION DOLLARS ($8,000,000) WITH RESPECT TO CLAIMS ARISING DURING THE PERIOD COMMENCING ON THE EFFECTIVE DATE AND ENDING TWENTY-FOUR (24) MONTHS AFTER THE EFFECTIVE DATE, AND (2) FOUR MILLION DOLLARS ($4,000,000) FOR CLAIMS ARISING THEREAFTER.

The Initial Term and all Renewal Terms (if any) collectively constitute the “Term” of the Agreement.

For avoidance of doubt and notwithstanding the preceding sentence, termination based on any of the occurrences described in Section 11.3 above will be handled as set forth in (as applicable) Section 2.2 or Section 2.3, and not as a termination for material breach under this Section 11.4.
11.5    Termination for Insolvency. Either party may terminate this Agreement upon written notice to the other party in the event that such other party (a) files any petition in bankruptcy; (b) has an involuntary petition in bankruptcy

Each party will continue to be bound by and perform in good faith its obligations under the Agreement during the period between such notice and the effective termination date; provided, however, notwithstanding Section 5.4, Intel may during such period begin development and planning efforts in support of possible commercial post-termination distribution and/or marketing of Apache Hadoop Solutions other than CDH or CS Enterprise but may not begin actual commercial distribution or marketing of any such other Apache Hadoop Solutions.
11.7    Cloudera Termination Rights. Cloudera may terminate this Agreement with or without cause upon six (6) months advance written notice (a “Cloudera Termination Notice”) given to Intel at any time following the earlier to occur of: (a) Intel and its affiliates ceasing to collectively hold the Rights Minimum (as defined in the Investor Rights Agreement), subject to any applicable cure period or exception set forth in Section 4.3(d)(i) of the Investor Rights Agreement; or (b) Intel making any Competitor Investment (as defined in Section 1.8 of the Investors Rights Agreement). During the six (6) month period following the delivery of a Cloudera Termination Notice, each party will continue to be bound by and perform in good faith its obligations under the Agreement; provided, however, notwithstanding Section 5.4, Intel may during such period begin development and planning efforts in support of possible post-termination commercial distribution and/or marketing of Apache Hadoop Solutions other than CDH or CS Enterprise but may not begin actual commercial distribution or marketing of any such other Apache Hadoop Solutions.

If such executives are unable to resolve such dispute within thirty (30) days, then (and only then) either party may pursue legal recourse pursuant to the terms of Section 13.2 below.
13.2    Governing Law. This Agreement is to be construed in accordance with and governed by the internal laws of the State of Delaware without giving effect to any choice of law rule that would cause the application of the laws of any jurisdiction other than the internal laws of the State of Delaware to the rights and duties of the parties. Any legal suit, action or proceeding arising out of or relating to this Agreement will be commenced in a state or federal court in Delaware, and each party hereto irrevocably submits to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such suit, action or proceeding.
13.3    Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court or other tribunal of competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions will continue in full force and effect without being impaired or invalidated in any way, and the parties agree to replace any invalid provision with a valid provision which most closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid provision.

13.4    Assignment. Except as otherwise expressly permitted under this Agreement, neither party will assign, sell, transfer, or otherwise dispose of, whether voluntarily or involuntarily, by operation of law or otherwise, this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent of the other party.

Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and permitted assigns.
13.5    Modification. No amendment or modification to this Agreement will be valid or binding upon the parties unless in writing and signed by an officer of each party.
13.6    Waiver. No failure or delay on the part of either party in the exercise of any right or privilege hereunder will operate as a waiver thereof or of the exercise of any other right or privilege hereunder, nor will any single or partial exercise of any such right or privilege preclude other or further exercise thereof or of any other right or privilege.
13.7    Relationship of Parties. This is a collaboration and optimization agreement limited to the rights and obligations set forth herein; no agency, partnership, joint venture, fiduciary or other relationship is created hereby, and neither party has any authority of any kind to bind the other party in any respect whatsoever, nor any obligation of any kind to the other party except as expressly provided herein.
