With respect to Customers domiciled in the United States of America, Canada and Mexico, two new Sections are added after Section 12 (Regional Terms) of the Agreement, as follows:

13. High Risk Activities. The Software is not designed, manufactured or intended for use or resale as on-line control equipment in hazardous environments requiring fail-safe performance, such as in the operation of nuclear facilities, air traffic control, or direct life support machines, in which the failure of the Software could lead directly to death, personal injury, or severe physical or environmental damage (“High Risk Activities”).

Without prejudice to any rights it may have under the German Trade Secret Act (“Geschäftsgeheimnisgesetz”), the disclosing party shall have all property rights, rights of use and exploitation rights with respect to the Confidential Information, unless otherwise provided in this Agreement. The receiving party is aware that the Confidential Information described above has not previously been generally known or readily accessible, either in its entirety or in its details, and is therefore of commercial value and is protected by the disclosing party through appropriate confidentiality measures. If a Confidential Information under this Section does not meet the requirements of a trade secret within the meaning of the German Trade Secret Act, such information shall nevertheless be subject to the obligations of this Section.
  3. The following sentence is added at the end of paragraph d. of Section 3 (Confidentiality) of this Agreement:
    The receiving party shall furthermore indicate in the course of disclosure, if applicable, that trade secrets are concerned and shall ensure that the provisions of Sections 16 et seq. of the German Trade Secrets Act (“Geschäftsgeheimnisgesetz”) are applied.

  5. Section 4 (No Indemnities; No Warranties; No Support; No Availability) of this Agreement is replaced in its entirety with the following Section:
