PURCHASE AGREEMENT

This Affectiva Purchase Agreement (the “Agreement”) is by and between Affectiva, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Affectiva”) and the entity which has been identified as the Customer (the “Company”) in an Affectiva order form (“Order”), which has been physically or electronically signed by an authorized representative of Company and which has been accepted by Affectiva. Acceptance by Affectiva may be evidenced by written notice of acceptance by Affectiva and/or delivery of the products and provision of the services specified in the Order. The effective date of this Agreement and each Order (“Effective Date”) shall be the date the Order is accepted by Affectiva.

1. Products. Company agrees to purchase each of the Affectiva products listed in the Order (“Products”) for the amounts specified in the Order. Products may consist of either: (a) Hardware, including Q-Sensors, which will be delivered to Company by Affectiva, (b) Software, which will be licensed to Company in accordance with the software license in Section 5(a), or (c) Services, including cloud-based applications hosted by Affectiva and accessed by Company through the Internet (“Cloud Services”), warranty, maintenance or support services (“Support Services”), or design, development or configuration services (“Professional Services”).

2. Fees. Company shall pay to Affectiva the total fees specified in the Order, and all related taxes or levies (exclusive of taxes based on the net income of Affectiva). Unless specified otherwise in the Order, Hardware can be purchased for a one-time fee, subject to any additional fees for associated Support Services. Cloud Services and Support Services are purchased on a subscription basis for a specified term. The subscription for Cloud Services and Support Services will automatically renew for successive terms of equal length, unless Company or Affectiva sends written notice of termination to the other at least 30 days prior to the expiration of the then-current term. Professional Services will be specified in a Statement of Work signed by both parties. Fees shall be due Net 30 days from the Effective Date of the Order unless specified otherwise in the Order. Prices are subject to change immediately and without notice; provided, however, that price changes will not be effective on Hardware, Software and Professional Services on any accepted Orders and will be effective on subscription services (Cloud Services and Support Services) on the first renewal date after the price change is announced.

3. Product Use. Company shall only use the Products in connection with the uses set forth in this Section 3 (the “Permitted Uses”) and agrees that it shall not use the Products for any other uses without prior consent from Affectiva. Company acknowledges and agrees that the Products (i) are sold subject to the limited warranty in Exhibit A, (ii) are to be used in compliance with all applicable laws and in accordance with any written instructions provided by Affectiva, (iii) are to be used solely in connection with Company’s internal research activities and/or by Company’s employees, agents and consultants only in conjunction with Company’s business and activities, and (iv) shall not be resold, sub-licensed, transferred or otherwise distributed by Company or its employees, consultants or agents to any third party.

4. Termination. Each party may terminate this Agreement and/or any Order in the event the other party breaches the Agreement and fails to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of written notice thereof. Upon termination, Company will return all Affectiva Hardware, Software and documentation to Affectiva in its possession or control.

5. Intellectual Property.

(a) Upon receipt of all fees due here under, Affectiva grants to Company a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license to use the Software solely in conformance with the Permitted Uses for the period specified in the Order.

(b) Upon receipt of all fees due here under, Affectiva grants to Company a limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable right and license to use the Cloud Services solely in conformance with the Permitted Uses for the period that the subscription for those Cloud Services remains in effect.

(c) All right, title and interest in and to the intellectual property embodied in the Products, together with any derivative works, improvements, enhancements or other modifications thereto (collectively, the “Intellectual Property”), is owned by, and shall remain the property of Affectiva, including, without limitation, any patents, copyrights, trademarks, tradenames and logos of Affectiva. Company shall not, and shall not permit others to, (i) modify, copy, reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, reproduce, or attempt to derive any source code, algorithms, architecture or user interface techniques associated with, the Intellectual Property, either in whole or in part, or (ii) create any derivative works from the Intellectual Property or the Products. With respect to any suggestions or recommendations by Company to Affectiva, regarding proposed additional features, functionality, performance options or other modifications to Affectiva Products, Company grants to Affectiva a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, perpetual right and license to develop, distribute, sublicense, sell, use or exploit such suggestions or recommendations, including without limitation the integration of such features and functionality, in whole or in part, into Affectiva’s products or services without the need to account for the same to Company. Company acknowledges that any and all products or services incorporating such new features, functionality, or performance shall be the sole and exclusive property of Affectiva.

(d) Affectiva will defend, indemnify and hold harmless Company in connection with any third party claims asserted against Company alleging that the Intellectual Property, in the form originally supplied by Affectiva to Company in the Products, infringes such third party’s intellectual property rights (“IP Claims”). Such indemnification shall not apply to any claims of infringement or alleged infringement of a third party’s intellectual property rights to the extent that such claims are based on Company’s breach of this Agreement, combination of the Products with another product or to the extent the Products were modified in any way by Company if such infringement could have been avoided without such breach, combination or modification. In the event of any IP Claim being made or action brought against Company with respect to which Affectiva is liable to indemnify Company hereunder, Company shall promptly notify Affectiva thereof but in no event more than one week after first receiving notice of such IP Claim and Affectiva shall be entitled to assume, control and conduct the defense of such IP Claim, including the settlement or compromise thereof; provided, however, that Affectiva shall not settle or compromise such IP Claim without the prior written consent of Company, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed; and provided further that such consent shall not be required if Company receives a full release from liability in connection with such compromise or settlement.
