which a printed listing can be made by processing it with a computer.
B. Object Code means a form of computer program resulting from the compilation
or other processing of Source Code by a computer into machine language or

software in Object Code only as specified in Exhibit ___, and all modifications and

Application and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.
F. Supported Environments shall mean those set forth in Exhibit ___.
G. Derivative Work means a revision, modification, translation, abridgement,

to any item of Intellectual Property.

laws of the State of _______________.
