12.1 Termination for Breach. This Agreement shall remain in effect until terminated in accordance with its terms. Real Time Logic may terminate this Agreement and/or any licenses granted under this Agreement, and Customer will immediately discontinue use and distribution of Products, if Customer (a) commits any material breach of any provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such breach upon 30-days prior written notice; or (b) becomes insolvent, files a bankruptcy petition, institutes proceedings for liquidation or winding up or enters into an agreement to assign its assets for the benefit of creditors. Termination of this Agreement or any license granted hereunder will not affect Customer's obligation to pay for Products shipped or licenses granted prior to the termination, which amounts shall be payable immediately upon the date of termination. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this Section 13 shall be construed to prevent Real Time Logic from seeking immediate injunctive relief in the event of any threatened or actual breach of Customer's obligations hereunder.
12.2 Effect of Termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, the rights and obligations of the parties shall cease except as expressly set forth in this Agreement. Upon termination, Customer will discontinue use and/or distribution of Products, and shall return Hardware and either return to Real Time Logic or destroy Software in Customer's possession, including all copies and documentation, and certify in writing to Real Time Logic within ten business days of the termination date that Customer no longer possesses any of the affected Products or copies of Software in any form, except to the extent an Open Source Software license conflicts with this Section 13.2 and permits Customer's continued use of any Open Source Software portion or component of a Product. Upon termination for Customer's breach, an End-User may continue its use and/or distribution of Customer's Product so long as: (a) the End-User was licensed according to the terms of this Agreement, if applicable to such End-User, and (b) such End-User is not in breach of its agreement, if applicable, nor a party to Customer's breach. Upon expiration of the Term or acquisition of Customer (per Subsection 6.4 above), Customer will discontinue use of the Products for development purposes and may continue to distribute Products already in production. For the avoidance of doubt, upon expiration of the Term or acquisition, all development licenses herein are terminated and no new Customer Product(s) may be developed, manufactured or distributed.
13. Export. The Products provided hereunder are subject to regulation by local laws and United States government agencies, which prohibit export or diversion of certain products, information about the products, and direct or indirect products thereof, to certain countries and certain persons. Customer agrees that it will not export Products in any manner without first obtaining all necessary approval from appropriate local and United States government agencies. Customer acknowledges that the regulation of product export is in continuous modification by local governments and/or the United States Congress and administrative agencies. Customer agrees to complete all documents and to meet all requirements arising out of such modifications.
14. U.S. Government License Rights. Software was developed entirely at private expense. All Software is commercial computer software within the meaning of the applicable acquisition regulations. Accordingly, pursuant to US FAR 48 CFR 12.212 and DFAR 48 CFR 227.7202, use, duplication and disclosure of the Software by or for the U.S. Government or a U.S. Government subcontractor is subject solely to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement, except for provisions which are contrary to applicable mandatory federal laws.
15. Third Party Beneficiary. For any Products licensed under this Agreement and provided by Customer to End-Users, Real Time Logic or the applicable licensor is a third party beneficiary of the agreement between Customer and End-User. Real Time Logic LLC, and other licensors may be third party beneficiaries of this Agreement with the right to enforce the obligations set forth herein.
16. Review of License Usage. Customer will monitor the access to and use of Software. With prior written notice, during Customer's normal business hours, and no more frequently than once per calendar year, Real Time Logic may engage an internationally recognized accounting firm to review Customer's software monitoring system, records, accounts and sublicensing documents deemed relevant by the internationally recognized accounting firm to confirm Customer's compliance with the terms of this Agreement or U.S. or other local export laws. Customer shall make records available in electronic format and shall fully cooperate with data gathering to support the license review. Real Time Logic shall bear the expense of any such review unless a material non-compliance is revealed. Real Time Logic shall treat as confidential information all Customer information gained as a result of any request or review and shall only use or disclose such information as required by law or to enforce its rights under this Agreement. Such license review shall be at Real Time Logic' expense unless it reveals a material underpayment of fees of five percent or more, in which case Customer shall reimburse Real Time Logic for the costs of such license review. Customer shall promptly pay any such fees. If the license review reveals that Customer has made an overpayment, Real Time Logic has the option to either provide the Customer with a refund or credit the amount overpaid to Customer's next payment. The provisions of this Section 16 shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
17. Controlling Law, Jurisdiction and Dispute Resolution. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under the laws of the State of California, USA, excluding choice of law rules. All disputes arising out of or in relation to this Agreement shall be submitted to the exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of California, USA. Nothing in this section shall restrict Real Time Logic' right to bring an action (including for example a motion for injunctive relief) against Customer or its Subsidiary in the jurisdiction where Customer's or its Subsidiary's place of business is located. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods does not apply to this Agreement.
18. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court of competent jurisdiction to be void, invalid, unenforceable or illegal, such provision shall be severed from this Agreement and the remaining provisions will remain in full force and effect.
19. Miscellaneous . This Agreement contains the parties' entire understanding relating to its subject matter and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements, including but not limited to any purchase order terms and conditions. This Agreement may only be modified in writing, signed by an authorized representative of each party. Waiver of terms or excuse of breach must be in writing and shall not constitute subsequent consent, waiver or excuse.
