be the exclusive property of L-3. This information, material, and any such inventions shall be
deemed L-3 PROPRIETARY INFORMATION and shall not be disclosed to anyone outside of L-3 or used
by Consultant or others without the prior written consent of L-3. Any article, paper,
treatise, computer program, or report prepared by Consultant pursuant to this Agreement or
which discusses the services performed hereunder, or the results thereof (written data), and
which qualifies as a “work for hire” under the copyright laws of the United States, shall be
the exclusive property of L-3 as “work for hire.” All right, title, and interest, including
any copyright in, and to any written data which does not qualify as a “work-for-hire,” shall
be deemed to have been automatically transferred to L-3 from the date of inception thereof.
Upon L-3’s request, Consultant shall execute any document and render such other assistance as
reasonably necessary to perfect full right, title, and interest worldwide in the written data,
including formal conveyance of copyright. Written data shall not be published or submitted for
publication by Consultant without the prior written approval of L-3. Further, if any such
articles, paper, treatise, computer program, or report includes work previously copyrighted by

in any manner. |
| 10. |
|
WARRANTIES AND INDEMNITY. |
| |
10.1. |
|
Consultant warrants the services provided to L-3 will be performed in a professional
and competent manner. Furthermore, Consultant warrants that services and Deliverable Work
will conform to the specifications of each SOW. |

10.3. |
|
Consultant shall indemnify and hold harmless L-3, its employees and agents, from and
against any claims, demands, loss, damage, or expense relating to bodily injury or death
of any person, or damage to real and/or tangible personal property incurred while
Consultant is performing services, and to the extent proximately caused by the negligent
or willful acts or omissions of Consultant, its personnel, agents, or subcontractors in
the performance of services hereunder. |
| |
10.4. |
|
Consultant hereby represents that it has, or will have, prior to commencement of
work by any individual, valid and sufficient arrangements or agreements with its employees
and/or third parties, such that they agree to be bound by the confidentiality requirements
in this Agreement and subsequent nondisclosure agreement(s) executed by the parties.
Further, Consultant warrants that it will not deliver to L-3 Deliverable Work which would
infringe any duly issued patent or copyright or any trade secret or other intellectual
property rights or other proprietary rights of a third party. |
| |
10.5. |
|
Consultant shall defend, at its expense, any action brought against L-3 to the
extent that it is based on a claim that Deliverable Work performed under this Agreement,
provided by Consultant and its personnel or agents or subcontractors, constitutes an
infringement of any duly issued patent or copyright or of any trade secrets or other
intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of a third party, and Consultant will
pay all damages and costs awarded against L-3, including any settlement amount agreed to be
paid, and related expenses in such action that are attributable to such claim, provided
Consultant is promptly informed in writing and furnished a copy of each communication, notice,
or other action related to the alleged infringement and is given authority, information, and
reasonable assistance at Consultant’s expense, necessary to defend or settle such claim.
Consultant will not be obligated to defend or be liable for costs and damages to the extent
that the infringement arises out of or relates to (i) L-3’s misuse or modification of such
Deliverable Work; (ii) L-3’s failure to use corrections or enhancements delivered to L-3, if
such materials would have prevented the infringement; (iii) infringement that results from the
combination by L-3 of the Deliverable Work with any product or technology not owned,
developed, or provided by Consultant, unless Consultant knowingly contributes to the
infringement caused by such combination, in providing the Deliverable Work to L-3 for L-3’s
intended use or application; or (iv) compliance with information, directions, specifications,
or materials provided by L-3. If any such Deliverable Work is, or in Consultant’s opinion is
likely to be held to

that would be in competition with L-3, so long as Consultant does not engage in any
activity which is in Competition with any business of L-3 or is otherwise a Competitive
