TERMS AND CONDITIONS Installation. Vendor shall deliver the Program and Documentation, as such
terms "Program" and "Documentation" are defined in Section 2, to the Designated
Site identified on the cover page hereof ("Delivery", the date of completion of
Delivery, the "Delivery Date") and install the Program on Licensee's system on a
mutually agreeable date and time during Vendor's regular business hours
("Installation", the date of completion of Installation, the "Installation
Date"). In the event that Licensee has not elected to purchase the Equipment (as
defined in Section 4) from Vendor, as reflected and described on the cover page
hereof, Licensee shall be responsible for procuring and preparing the Equipment,
in accordance with the specifications provided by Vendor, and to have such
Equipment at the Designated Site on the scheduled date and time of Installation.
If the Equipment is not so prepared, additional fees may apply. Installation
will include installation of portions of the Program on the Equipment and
portions of the Program (i.e., driver software) on Licensee's systems.
Installation shall not include configuration of the Program, for which Licensee
shall be solely responsible as directed in the Documentation. On the date of
completion of Installation, Vendor shall provide, and Licensee shall sign, a
certificate of completion of Installation (the "CCI"), signature of which shall
constitute Licensee's acceptance of the Program ("Acceptance"). In any event
that Licensee uses any portion of the Program in a production environment,
Acceptance will be deemed to have occurred. Subject to Section ___ and ___, the
date of Licensee's Acceptance shall be referred to herein as the "Acceptance Date."
License. Subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement,
including Licensee's payment of the License Fees set forth on the cover page
hereof, Vendor grants to Licensee a limited, non-exclusive, non-assignable, non-
transferable, non-sublicensable, internal-use-only license (the "License") to
use the software Program identified on the cover page hereof (the "Program"),
and the associated delivered documentation (the "Documentation"), in connection
with the number of Database Instances set forth on the cover page hereof. The
Program will be provided and licensed to Licensee in executable object code form
only. The License shall commence on the Acceptance Date and shall continue
perpetually unless and until this Agreement is terminated pursuant to its terms.
Use of Program and Documentation. The Program and Documentation may be
used only by Licensee's employees and only for Authorized Use (as identified on
the cover page hereof), and only at the Designated Site identified on the cover
page hereof. In the event that Licensee desires to relocate the Program to an
alternative site, Licensee shall provide prior written notice of such relocation
and identification of such new site to Vendor, and in no event shall Vendor be
responsible for any damage that is caused during such relocation, nor for any
installation difficulties or non-conformance with surroundings at the new site,
whether or not the Program is under warranty. Licensee may only use the Program
and Documentation for Licensee's internal business use and not in the operation
of a service bureau or for the benefit of any other person or entity. Licensee
may only make one copy of the Program and Documentation as necessary for bona
fide backup or archival purposes. No identifying marks, copyright or proprietary
right notices may be deleted from any copies of the Program or Documentation
made by Licensee. Licensee shall not modify, translate, decompile, or create or
attempt to create, by reverse engineering or otherwise, the source code from the
object code supplied hereunder, or adapt the Program in any way or use it to
create a derivative work. Equipment. In the event that Licensee has elected to purchase the
Equipment from Vendor, as reflected and described on the cover page and Exhibit
A hereof (the "Equipment"), in consideration for the Equipment Fee set forth on
the cover page hereof, Vendor shall deliver, or cause to be delivered, the
Equipment to Licensee prior to or along with its Delivery of the Program
pursuant to Section 1. Any third party software provided with the Equipment
shall be subject to third party license agreements provided therewith. LICENSEE
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THE EQUIPMENT IS A THIRD PARTY PRODUCT AND THAT VENDOR MAKES
NO WARRANTY WHATSOEVER WITH RESPECT THERETO. Instead, Licensee shall have the
right to pursue enforcement of any applicable warranties and guarantees directly
from the third party vendor of the Equipment. For the avoidance of doubt, the
warranty set forth in Section 10(A) shall not apply to the Equipment. The
Equipment Fee is non-refundable.
Training. Vendor shall provide the following training services, pursuant
to the terms hereof: Upon completion of Installation, Vendor shall provide one
(1) training session, not to exceed one working day following Installation
completion, for up to three (3) individual personnel of Licensee regarding the
general usage and configuration of the Program. Additional training, or training
on a date other than the Installation completion date, may be provided at
Licensee's request, subject to Vendor's availability, at Vendor's then-standard
applicable rates.
Payment. Licensee shall pay the License Fee and Equipment Fee (if any) as
indicated on the cover page hereof, payable on the date of invoice. Without
derogation from any other right of Vendor, if Licensee fails to pay any amount
by its due date, Licensee shall pay late charges of ___ percent (___%) per month
on all outstanding amounts due, together with all of Vendor's expenses and
collection costs, including reasonable attorneys' fees, incurred in enforcing
this Agreement. Licensee shall reimburse Vendor for any out-of-pocket expenses
incurred in connection with providing services hereunder, including, without
limitation, telephone, shipping and insurance. Payments shall be made in U.S.
currency. Any rate of exchange which may be applicable to payments due or other
monetary calculations for purposes of this Agreement shall be the rate last
published by the Wall Street Journal on the Effective Date.
Proprietary Rights. Licensee acknowledges that the Program and
Documentation are the sole and exclusive property of Vendor or Vendor's
licensors, as applicable, including all applicable rights to patents,
copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights
inherent therein or appurtenant thereto. Licensee agrees and acknowledges that
Vendor retains Vendor's rights and title in and to the Program and Documentation
and any copies thereof. Licensee is not purchasing title to the Program or
Documentation or copies thereof, but rather is being granted only a license to
use the Program and Documentation subject to the terms hereof. All rights not
expressly granted to Licensee herein are reserved to Vendor.
Confidentiality. Licensee shall not sell, transfer, publish, disclose,
display or otherwise make available any portion of the Program or Documentation
(including, without limitation, the Program's technology, code and algorithms)
to others, except to its employees, contractors and agents on a need-to-know
basis, nor may Licensee outsource the use of the Program without Vendor's
written consent. Licensee agrees to maintain the confidentiality of the Program
and Documentation using at least as great a degree of care as Licensee uses to
maintain the confidentiality of Licensee's own most confidential information,
and in no event less than a reasonable degree of care. Licensee shall ensure
that its employees, contractors and other agents who have access to the Program
and Documentation are made aware of, and agree to, the obligations set forth in
this Section 8. Licensee shall use its best efforts to assist Vendor in
identifying and preventing any unauthorized use, copying or disclosure of the
Program or Documentation, or any portion thereof, or any of the technology,
code, or algorithms thereof. Without limitation of the foregoing, Licensee shall
advise Vendor immediately in the event Licensee learns or has reason to believe
that any person to whom Licensee has given access to the Program or
Documentation, or any portion thereof, has violated or intends to violate the
confidentiality of the Program or Documentation or the proprietary rights of
Vendor, and Licensee will, at Licensee's expense, cooperate with Vendor in
seeking injunctive or other equitable relief in the name of Licensee or Vendor
against any such person. Licensee acknowledges that the disclosure of any aspect
of the Program or Documentation, any other confidential information referred to
herein, or any information which, at law or equity ought to remain confidential,
will immediately give rise to continuing irreparable injury to Vendor
inadequately compensable in damages at law, and Vendor is entitled to obtain
immediate injunctive relief against the breach or threatened breach of any of
the foregoing confidentiality undertakings, in addition to any other legal
remedies which may be available. In addition, Vendor may immediately terminate
this Agreement, including all license rights granted herein, in the event
Licensee breaches any of its confidentiality obligations regarding the Program
or Documentation, or otherwise infringes or misappropriates Vendor's or its
affiliate's intellectual property rights.
Indemnity. Licensee will, at its own expense, defend, indemnify and hold
harmless Vendor and its affiliates from and against any action brought against
Vendor or its affiliates, to the extent that such action is based on or arises
from: (i) Licensee's misuse of the Program or Equipment, (ii) any personal
injury or death occurring at Licensee's premises, (iii) Licensee's breach of any
representation, warranty or obligation under this Agreement, or (iv) any content
of Licensee's databases, including, without limitation, content which: (a) is
false, fraudulent, inaccurate or misleading; (b) infringes any third party's
copyright, patent, trademark, trade secret or other proprietary rights or rights
of publicity or privacy; (c) violates any law, statute, ordinance or regulation;
(d) is defamatory, trade libelous, unlawfully threatening, unlawfully harassing
or obscene; or (e) contains any viruses, trojan horses, worms, time bombs,
cancelbots, easter eggs or other computer programming routines that may damage,
detrimentally interfere with, surreptitiously intercept or expropriate any
system, data or personal information.
Warranty.
(A) Vendor warrants for a period of ninety (90) days after the
Acceptance Date (the "Warranty Period") that the Program, in its unmodified
state as installed by Vendor, will perform substantially in accordance with the
Documentation. Should the Program, in its unmodified state as installed by
Vendor, not perform substantially in accordance with the Documentation during
the Warranty Period (a "Defect"), Licensee shall notify Vendor in writing during
the Warranty Period of the nature of the Defect, with sufficient detail for
Vendor to reproduce and diagnose such Defect, and Licensee's exclusive remedy,
and Vendor's sole obligation under this warranty, shall be, at Vendor's sole
discretion, to repair or replace the defective Program. Any use by Licensee of
the Program is at Licensee's own risk. This limited warranty is void if a Defect
is due to (i) use not in accordance with the Documentation and instructions of
Vendor or abuse or misapplication of the Program by Licensee, (ii) defects or
problems with the Equipment or any software (other than the Program), other
hardware or system, including but not limited to the Database application
program or the Database, (iii) defects that do not materially affect the
performance of the Program in conformance with the Documentation, (iv) defects
arising, in whole or in part, from the interaction between the Program and any
other software, hardware or system, including but not limited to the Database
application program or the Database, or between the Program and the Equipment,
if such Equipment does not conform to the specifications provided by Vendor, (v)
defects relating to the Program if it has been modified by Licensee or any third
party, or (vi) defects resulting from Licensee's relocation of the Program or
Equipment. In the event that a problem reported by Licensee is not covered by
this warranty or is not reproducible, Vendor may charge its then-current time
and materials rates in connection with its services relating thereto.(B) THE WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES SET FORTH IN SECTION 10(A) ARE
EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF ALL OTHERS, ORAL OR WRITTEN, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED. VENDOR
DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PROGRAM, OR ANY SERVICES DESCRIBED HEREIN OR IN ANY
MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT (AS HEREINAFTER DEFINED), WILL BE DELIVERED OR PERFORM
ERROR-FREE OR WITHOUT INTERRUPTION TO LICENSEE. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN
SECTION 10(A) ABOVE, ALL PRODUCTS AND SERVICES OF VENDOR, INCLUDING BUT NOT
LIMITED TO THE PROGRAM AND THE EQUIPMENT, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS," WITHOUT WARRANTY
OF ANY KIND, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED, EITHER IN FACT OR BY OPERATION OF LAW,
STATUTORY OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR USE, TITLE OR NON-
INFRINGEMENT). NOTWITHSTANDING ANYTHING TO THE CONTRARY IN THIS AGREEMENT,
VENDOR DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE PROGRAM WILL OPERATE WITH ANY VERSION OF THE
DATABASE APPLICATION PROGRAM OTHER THAN THAT VERSION SET FORTH ON THE COVER PAGE
HEREOF OR IN THE DOCUMENTATION.
LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT VENDOR SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY
WITH RESPECT TO ANY CONTENT, INFORMATION, STATEMENTS OR INTERESTS OF ANY KIND
WITHIN THE DATABASE. LICENSEE UNDERSTANDS, ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT THE OUTPUT OF THE
DATABASE APPLICATION PROGRAM USING THE PROGRAM MAY BE DERIVED FROM DATA THAT HAS
BEEN CACHED IN THE EQUIPMENT PRIOR TO CHANGES TO SUCH DATA THAT MAY BE MADE TO
THE DATABASE BY USERS. IN ANY EVENT THAT THE PROGRAM IS CONFIGURED TO CACHE DATA
FROM THE DATABASE, A POSSIBILITY EXISTS THAT OUTPUT FROM THE DATABASE
APPLICATION MAY BE DERIVED FROM OUT-OF-DATE DATA. VENDOR HAS RECOMMENDED THAT
LICENSEE CONFIGURES THE PROGRAM TO UPDATE AND CACHE FREQUENTLY, AND LICENSEE
ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THERE IS A POSSIBILITY THAT OUTPUT COULD BE DERIVED FROM OUT-
OF-DATE DATA. VENDOR SHALL IN NO EVENT BE LIABLE OR RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARM
CAUSED BY THE POTENTIAL DESCRIBED IN THIS PARAGRAPH.
Limitation of Liability. VENDOR AND VENDOR'S AFFILIATES AND LICENSORS
SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY WITH RESPECT TO THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE FOR SPECIAL,
INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES, INCLUDING
DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF BUSINESS AND LOSS OF PROFITS, BUSINESS INTERRUPTION AND LOSS
OR CORRUPTION OF DATA ARISING OUT OF THE USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE THE PROGRAM,
EVEN IF SUCH PARTIES HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. IN NO
EVENT SHALL VENDOR OR VENDOR'S AFFILIATES OR LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY REASON
AND UPON ANY CAUSE OF ACTION WHATSOEVER RELATING TO ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR
HARDWARE, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE EQUIPMENT. IN NO EVENT SHALL VENDOR'S
LIABILITY FOR ANY REASON AND UPON ANY CAUSES OF ACTION IN THE AGGREGATE
WHATSOEVER EXCEED, IN THE AGGREGATE, THE AMOUNT OF LICENSE FEES ACTUALLY PAID BY
LICENSEE TO VENDOR UNDER THIS AGREEMENT DURING THE ONE (1) CALENDAR YEAR PERIOD
DURING WHICH THE CLAIM(S) AROSE.Termination. In addition to its rights as set forth elsewhere in this
Agreement, at law or in equity, Vendor shall have the right to terminate this

deemed, for all purposes, as the Program, as such term is defined in this

Granted Program by Licensee, and Licensee's use of the Previously Granted
Program shall be deemed to be subject to all the terms and obligations set forth
in this Agreement with regard to the Program.

to Licensee for a trial period of more than 90 days prior to the Effective Date,
Licensee shall pay Vendor the entire License Fee (and Equipment Fee, if
applicable) upon the Effective Date and the Effective Date shall be deemed the
Acceptance Date.
(C) In the event that that the Previously Granted Program was
delivered to Licensee for a trial period less than 90 days prior to the
Effective Date, then upon the lapse of the trial period (i.e. the 90th day from
the date upon which the Previously Granted Program was first delivered to
Licensee), the Licensee undertakes to and shall elect either (i) to purchase the
License and pay Vendor the entire License Fee, and such date shall be deemed the
Acceptance Date; or (ii) not to purchase the License and then upon such date, to
immediately uninstall the Previously Granted Program, cease all use thereof,
return all copies of the Program and Documentation to Vendor and such date shall
be deemed the termination date of this Agreement and the terms of Section 12
above shall thereupon take effect as if this Agreement was terminated pursuant
to such Section 12.

proposals, understandings and other agreements, oral and written, between the
parties, relating to the subject matter hereof, including but not limited to any
statements made in Vendor's print and electronic product literature and web
site(s). This Agreement may not be modified or altered except by written
instrument duly executed by both parties. The waiver or failure of either party

further right hereunder. Neither party shall be liable to the other for any
delay or failure to perform (other than a failure to fulfill a payment
obligation hereunder) due to causes beyond its reasonable control. Performance
times shall be considered extended for a period of time equivalent to the time
