Agreement, the Software and related documentation on a permanent basis provided
that written notice of the transfer is given to Licensor and the transferee

care" shall mean that care which Ford normally uses to protect its own

become part of the public domain, which are previously known to Ford, or which
are independently developed by Ford.

warranty, provided that Ford notifies Licensor in a timely fashion of such
claim. In the event a claim of infringement is asserted, Licensor may replace
or modify the Software to make it non-infringing, provided that Ford agrees
that such replacement or modification achieves the substantive results of the
original version of the Software, or Licensor may procure at its expense a
license for Ford to use the rights allegedly infringed. Regardless of the
basis of recovery claimed, whether under any contract, negligence, strict
liability or other theory, Plumtree's aggregate liability, with respect to any
and all subject matters of the Agreement or any attachment, or terms and
conditions related thereto will be only for (A) indemnification payments
referred to in this section, (B) bodily injury (including death) and damage to

conditions of this Agreement upon written notice to Buyer, which is given no
less than [***] prior to an effective date of termination, and which specifies
the nature of such breach. If Ford cures such breach prior to the effective date
of termination, this Agreement shall not terminate and will continue in full
force and effect.

available without additional charge to its maintenance customers and which is
intended to replace a prior Software release. Plumtree shall make available to
Licensee one (1) copy of the machine-readable Software for each Server Location.
A major functional release is indicated by a change in the first digit of a
version number, e.g. from 4.0.0 to 5.0.0; a minor functional release is
indicated by a change in the second digit, e.g. from 4.0.0 to 4.1.0. Maintenance

release of a new major functional release. In all events, however, Plumtree will
provide telephone support services with respect to questions regarding the "how-
to" use of a retired release of the Software for six (6) months following its
retirement.

(b)  Use of Software. Licensee's use of any Software provided by Plumtree as
