6.0          SOFTWARE ESCROW

6.1       Within ninety (90) days from the effective date of this Agreement, the parties hereto agree to enter into a Software Escrow Agreement providing for Citadel to place the Licensed Software logic, programs and source code and other code and scripts (the "Escrowed Materials") into escrow with DSI Technology Escrow Services, or other such escrow agent mutually acceptable to DigitalNet and Citadel, to provide DigitalNet and the Government access to and use of the code under circumstances to be stated therein. All expenses of the escrow will be paid by DigitalNet. The Escrowed Materials shall be accurate and complete and shall delineate and explain the structure, organization, sequencing, and operation of the Licensed Software in sufficient detail to permit a reasonably skilled programmer to maintain, modify, and enhance the Licensed Software; subject to periodic review for sufficiency by a third party reasonably acceptable to both parties; and shall be seasonably updated as changes or additions are made to the Licensed Software. Request for delivery of the Deposit Materials may occur due to the occurrence of the following:

(a) the dissolution, liquidation or winding up of Citadel, via bankruptcy or otherwise, or the authorization by the Board of Directors of Citadel to dissolve, liquidate or wind-up the business and affairs of Citadel, or

(b) if Citadel is acquired or merged with another Company and the new entity does not accept this agreement, or

(c) if Citadel elects to discontinue support of the Licensed Software or otherwise fails to meet its warranty obligations (Sections 7.3, 7.4, and 7.5) or Technical Support obligations (Sections 8.1 and 8.2) with respect thereto.


6.2       In any event, upon receipt of the escrowed Licensed Software, DigitalNet or the Government may only use the Escrowed Materials to maintain, modify and enhance the Licensed Software. The maintained, modified or enhanced Licensed Software may only be used in accordance with this Agreement.

7.1       Citadel warrants to DigitalNet that it has clear and exclusive title to the Licensed Software. Citadel further warrants to DigitalNet that it has all necessary rights, power and authority to enter into this Agreement and to grant the rights granted under this Agreement. All applicable rights to copyrights, trade secrets, patents and trademarks in the Licensed Software or any modifications or enhancements made by Citadel shall remain with Citadel. The Licensed Software is protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws and by international treaties.

7.2       Citadel warrants that the Licensed Software as delivered to DigitalNet and/or the Government does not contain any deactivating mechanisms or is not contaminated by harmful computer programming code.

7.3       Citadel warrants that the Licensed Software, in its unmodified form, as initially delivered to DigitalNet and/or the Government, will perform substantially in accordance with furnished Documentation and meet the general performance requirements and objectives for the Licensed Software outlined in Exhibit A hereto. Such warranty shall be in effect for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of delivery of the Licensed Software to DigitalNet and/or the Government (the “Warranty Period”). The Licensed Software media shall be free of defects in materials and workmanship.

7.4       In the event the Licensed Software fails in a material respect to operate in accordance with the Documentation, or meet the general performance requirements and objectives outlined in Exhibit A during the Warranty Period, Citadel agrees to use reasonable commercial efforts to promptly correct any such material defect or deficiency at its own expense. “Material Defect” means defects or deficiencies in the Licensed Software which materially affect an end user’s ability to operate the Licensed Software in accordance with the Documentation, or to meet the stated contractual performance requirements in Exhibit A hereto.

7.5       All warranty claims not made in writing and received by Citadel within such period shall be deemed waived. DigitalNet shall have no authority to extend such warranty to any third party except as provided herein. Citadel’s obligation and liability, and Licensee’s remedy, with respect to any breach of the foregoing warranty shall be for Citadel at Citadel’s option: (a) to bring the performance of the Licensed Software into substantial compliance with its Documentation; or (b) by mutual agreement, DigitalNet may take possession of the Escrowed Materials in accordance with Section 6.0, such possession shall be limited to completing corrections to the identified defects and deficiencies only. Upon completion of such corrections, the Escrowed materials shall be returned to escrow and Citadel shall retain all ownership rights in the Licensed Software. The costs and expenses, if any, incurred by DigitalNet to correct material defects and deficiencies in the Licensed Software shall be charged to Citadel’s account under this Agreement, or at (c) Citadel’s sole option to return any payment received by Citadel with respect to the applicable Licensed Software.

7.6       In the event DigitalNet elects to take possession of the Escrowed Materials in accordance with Section 6.0, such possession shall be limited to completing corrections to the identified defects and deficiencies only. Upon completion of such corrections, the Escrowed materials shall be returned to escrow and Citadel shall retain all ownership rights in the Licensed Software. The costs and expenses, if any, incurred by DigitalNet to correct material defects and deficiencies in the Licensed Software shall be charged to Citadel’s account under this Agreement.

7.7       Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE PROVIDED HEREIN, THE LICENSED SOFTWARE AND THE ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF ANY KIND. CITADEL FURTHER DISCLAIMS ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Citadel DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE WILL BE ERROR FREE OR WILL OPERATE WITHOUT INTERRUPTION OR THAT THE SOFTWARE DOES NOT INFRINGE ANY COPOYRIGHT, PATENT, ETC. OF ANY THIRD PARTY. THE ENTIRE RISK ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE AND ACCOMPANYING WRITTEN MATERIALS REMAINS WITH THE USER. IT IS THE USER’S RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE ALL APPROPRIATE FAIL-SAFE, ENCRYPTION, BACK UP AND OTHER MEASURES TO ENSURE THE SAFE USE OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE.

8.0         MAINTENANCE, UPDATES AND UPGRADES

8.1       Warranty Maintenance and Technical Support. Payment of the Enterprise License fee in accordance with this Agreement entitles DigitalNet and the Government to receive warranty support (for first 90 days) and technical services which shall include all bug fixes, updates/releases and upgrades to the Licensed Software during the initial one (1) year term of this Agreement (the “Initial Maintenance Term”) at no additional charge to DigitalNet. Without limitation, maintenance and technical support entitles DigitalNet and the Government to:

(a)   telephone support from Citadel’s support personnel during Citadel’s normal business hours and in accordance with Citadel’s normal practices (except as otherwise required in Exhibit A hereto), and

(b)   prompt maintenance fixes and work-around solutions for programming errors and software problems.

8.2       Annual Technical Support (After Initial Term). DigitalNet and the Government shall be entitled to the technical support described in Section 8.1 at no charge during the initial term of this Agreement. Thereafter, the annual technical support fee must be paid in order to receive such technical support. Upon receipt of the payment by Citadel, all benefits of the annual fee will be available to DigitalNet and the Government. If the annual payment is not made, DigitalNet and the Government will not be entitled to updates and upgrades to the Licensed Software or technical support. However, if DigitalNet does not pay the annual fee and chooses to reinstate the benefits provided by the annual technical support fee at a later date, DigitalNet may do so by bringing all fees current by remitting 100% of the unpaid fees plus the current applicable fee.

9.0         TERMINATION

9.1       Termination for Default. DigitalNet may terminate this Agreement for default if:

(a)  Citadel breaches the warranties defined in Section 7.0 by failing, after a reasonable cure period mutually agreed to by the Parties, to correct any material defect or deficiency identified in the Licensed Software, or

10.0       DISPUTES

10.1       Good-Faith Negotiations and Legal Recourse. If any dispute arises under this Agreement that is not settled promptly in the ordinary course of business, the Parties shall seek to resolve such dispute between them first by negotiating promptly with each other in good faith negotiations. These negotiations shall commence upon the written request of either party and shall be conducted by the designated senior management representative of each party. If the Parties are unable to resolve the dispute between them within 15 business days (or within such longer period as the parties shall otherwise agree) through these negotiations, then either party may resort to the judicial process to pursue its claims. Any such action shall be filed in a competent court in the Commonwealth of Virginia.

10.2       Sponsored Claims to the Government. Any claims by Citadel arising as a result of actions by the Government and which may properly be submitted for a decision of the Government under the Disputes Clause of the Prime Contract shall be resolved exclusively by DigitalNet forwarding such claim to the Government for decision, provided that DigitalNet can comply with any certification requirements applying to such claims. The Customer’s decision on such claim shall be final, conclusive and binding upon Citadel. Citadel shall bear all expenses associated with such claim.

11.0       INDEMNITY

11.1       Infringement. Citadel shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless DigitalNet and the Government for any liability for infringement of any United States patent, copyright or trade secret rights of a third party caused by the use of the Licensed Software in accordance with the Documentation or as otherwise instructed or recommended by Citadel, provided that the infringement is not caused by the combination of the Licensed Software with any other item not provided by Citadel or not intended by Citadel for use with the Licensed Software, including but not limited to software, data, or hardware, (unless the use of the Licensed Software, works of authorship or work product constitutes contributory or inducement of infringement apart from the combination).

11.2       Notice of Infringement. DigitalNet shall notify Citadel in writing within ten (10) days of DigitalNet’s first knowledge of a charge of infringement of patent, copyright or trade secret rights by another party or Citadel otherwise receives written notice of such a claim. DigitalNet agrees to allow Citadel to fully control any litigation and settlement of such infringement charges provided any such settlement does not require DigitalNet to make any payment or to enter into any obligation. Indemnification shall include payment of all costs, expenses, judgments, settlements and attorneys' fees. At its own expense, Citadel shall employ counsel and shall assume the defense of such a claim. DigitalNet at its expense may be represented by counsel of its own selection, but it has no obligation to obtain separate representation. If an injunction is obtained against Licensee’s use of the Software as a result of a third party infringement claim, Citadel may, at its sole option and expense, (a) procure for Licensee the right to continue using the affected Software, (b) replace or modify the affected Software with functionally equivalent software that does not infringe, or, if either (a) or (b) is not commercially feasible, (c) terminate the license and refund the license fees received from DigitalNet for the affected Licensed Software.

11.3       General Indemnity. The parties shall indemnify and hold harmless the other parties and the Government, their officers and employees, from any direct, verifiable (in writing), reasonable out-of-pocket loss, cost, damage, expense or liability of every nature and kind which DigitalNet, Citadel and/or the Government can demonstrate, verify and confirm have been directly and specifically caused by the negligent party’s performance under this Agreement.

11.4        DigitalNet shall indemnify and defend Citadel and hold it harmless against any claims asserted by third parties that arise out of Licensee’s use of any Licensed Software not in accordance with this Agreement.

12.0        CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES

13.0         LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY INCIDENETAL, SPECIAL, INDIRECT, PUNITIVE OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT.

14.0        HIRING OF EMPLOYEES

During the period that this Agreement is in force and for one (1) year after the termination of this Agreement, the Parties agree that neither shall directly recruit or solicit or assist in the recruiting or soliciting for employment, including as a consultant, any technical or professional employees of the other assigned to work on the Agreement, without the prior written approval of the party whose employee is being considered for employment. Either party may, however, without violating this provision, place mass media advertisements or conduct job fairs for the purpose of recruiting employees generally. The parties acknowledge and agree that in the event of a violation of this paragraph, there will be no adequate remedies at law and that the party against whom the solicitation was directed will suffer irreparable harm entitling it to immediate injunctive relief in addition to other available legal remedies.
