THE TERM “PROMPTLY” AS USED HEREIN SHALL MEAN NO LATER THAN SIXTY (60) DAYS FOLLOWING THE DELIVERY OF THE PRODUCT(S) AND DOCUMENTATION TO YOU. 1. Grant and Scope of License. 1.1 Subject to the terms and conditions contained herein, DataDirect grants to you (“User”) a non-exclusive, non-transferable, limited license to use the computer program(s) (individually referred to herein as “Product” or collectively as “Products”) for which valid license keys have been issued by DataDirect or its authorized reseller or expressly identified in an order letter, license certificate or other document in written or electronic form provided by DataDirect or its authorized reseller (an “Order Letter”) and related manuals in written or electronic form (“Documentation”). User’s use of the Products shall be limited to internal use and all such use shall be in accordance with the provisions and limitations set forth in Exhibit A to this Agreement and the Order Letter. The Products may include code to verify that User has not exceeded the license keys issued by DataDirect (the “Runtime License Checker”) and in the event that the Runtime License Checker determines that User has exceeded its license the Products may cease to operate. DataDirect reserves all rights not expressly granted to User in this Agreement. 1.2 User may not transfer, sell, assign or otherwise convey this Agreement or the Products, by operation of law or otherwise, to any other party. User may not sell, rent, license, or grant sublicenses, leases, or other rights in the Products to others or otherwise allow the Products to be accessed by another party. User shall have no right to use the Products to provide time sharing services or act as or operate a service bureau or provide subscription or hosting services for others, nor to use the Products in or with any software application that is made available on a time sharing, service bureau, subscription or hosting basis. User may not use the Products to develop, test, support or market products that are competitive with and/or provide similar functionality to the Products. This Agreement automatically terminates if User novates, assigns, sells, rents, licenses, grants, sublicenses, leases or otherwise transfers possession of any copy of the Products or Product Updates to another party or purports to do the same. 1.3 For purposes of this Agreement a “Product Update” shall mean any update, patch, version and/or new release of or to the Product that DataDirect furnishes generally to its customers who are on support in accordance with DataDirect’s then current support policies and fee requirements. A Product Update replaces part or all of a Product or Product Update previously licensed to User and shall terminate such previously licensed Product or Product Update to the extent replaced by the Product Update. Product Updates shall be subject to the terms and conditions of the license agreement accompanying the Product Update. 1.4 User agrees to pay the applicable end user license fees, as well as any applicable transportation charges and any value-added taxes or other applicable taxes, tariffs or withholding taxes which the relevant authorities require to pay, within thirty (30) days of date of invoice. 1.5 The term of this Agreement and User’s license hereunder shall be perpetual (unless otherwise specified), subject to termination in accordance with the provisions of Section 2.2 below. The License Model (as defined in Exhibit A) shall be in accordance with the terms of the Order Letter or the license key issued for the product. 2. DataDirect’s Rights. 2.1 The Products are proprietary products of DataDirect or its licensors (if any), and are protected by intellectual property law. By virtue of this Agreement, User acquires only the non-exclusive right to use the Products and does not acquire any rights of ownership or other right in the Products, Documentation or the media upon which they are embodied. DataDirect or its licensors (if any) shall at all times retain all right, title, and interest in the Products, Documentation and media. Except as otherwise expressly provided for in this Agreement, User acquires no rights of any kind in or to any trade name, logo, or trademark of DataDirect or DataDirect’s affiliated companies or licensors, or any product designation under which the Products were or are marketed and shall not make use of the same for any reason except as expressly authorized by this Agreement or otherwise authorized in writing by DataDirect. 2.2 DataDirect may terminate this Agreement by written notice if User materially defaults in the performance of any provision of this Agreement and fails to cure such default to the satisfaction of DataDirect within thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of notice of the default from DataDirect. This remedy shall not be exclusive and shall be in addition to any other remedies which DataDirect may have under this Agreement or otherwise. Within five (5) days after termination of this Agreement for any reason or expiration of the term of this Agreement (if applicable), User will return to DataDirect or destroy all copies of the Products and certify in writing to such return or destruction of all copies of the Products. 3. Non-Disclosure; Copies; Alterations. User acknowledges that the Products are the valuable proprietary and trade secret information of DataDirect or its licensors (if any). User shall (i) limit use and disclosure of the Products to its employees and to its consultants who agree to be bound by the terms of this Agreement; (ii) not provide or disclose any of the Products to any other party without the prior written consent of DataDirect; and (iii) take all reasonable precautions to maintain the confidentiality of the Products. User agrees, under penalty of license termination but not exclusive of any other remedies, not to cause or permit the reverse engineering, modification, decryption, extraction, disassembly, copying, or decompilation of the Product(s) (except as permitted by applicable law). User may copy the Product(s) only for archival purposes. User may copy the Documentation (in electronic format) solely for the purpose of facilitating User’s use of the Product(s) in accordance with, and subject to, the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

User agrees not to remove any product identification, copyright notices, or other notices or proprietary restrictions from the Products and may not disclose any information regarding any benchmark or similar tests of the Product to any third party. 4. Limited Warranty and Disclaimers. DataDirect warrants that for a period of thirty (30) days from User’s purchase of the license to use the Products (“Warranty Period”), that the Product media will not be defective and that the copy of the Product delivered to you conforms in all material respects to the Documentation. As the sole and exclusive remedy for defective media, DataDirect will repair or replace free of charge such defective media during the Warranty Period provided such defective media is returned to DataDirect or its supplier within the Warranty Period. As the sole and exclusive remedy for any failure of the Product to materially conform to the Documentation, DataDirect shall repair, replace, or correct the Product if such failure is reported during the Warranty Period or, if DataDirect, at its discretion, reasonably determines that such remedy is not economically or technically feasible, this Agreement, and User’s license hereunder, will terminate and DataDirect or its supplier (as applicable) shall provide a full refund of the license fee paid with respect to the particular Product. This warranty does not cover defects due to accident, abuse, service or modification by User or any third party, or any other cause occurring after initial delivery of the Product to User. This warranty is made solely by DataDirect and not its third-party suppliers, as applicable. DataDirect warrants that it has the right to license the Products. DataDirect will defend User against any claim based on an allegation that a Product infringes a U.S. patent or copyright, but only if DataDirect is notified promptly in writing of such claim and is given sole control of the defense thereof and all settlement negotiations relating thereto. Notwithstanding the foregoing, DataDirect shall not be liable to User for any claim arising from or based upon the alteration or modification of any of the Products. THE LIMITED WARRANTY SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 4 SETS FORTH THE ENTIRE WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS PROVIDED BY DATADIRECT TO USER WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS.

EXCEPT FOR THE LIMITED WARRANTY PROVIDED SOLELY BY DATADIRECT TO USER PURSUANT TO THIS SECTION 4, NEITHER DATADIRECT NOR ITS LICENSORS, NOR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUPPLIERS, MAKE ANY EXPRESS WARRANTIES OR REPRESENTATIONS RELATING TO THE PRODUCTS OR ANY SERVICES RELATED THERETO, AND FURTHER, TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, DISCLAIM ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES AND REPRESENTATIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT, WITH RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS AND ANY SERVICES RELATED THERETO. Without limiting the scope of the disclaimers set forth herein, DataDirect, for example, does not warrant that errors cannot arise during the use of the Product(s).

Without limiting the scope of the disclaimers set forth herein, DataDirect for itself and on behalf of its licensors and their respective suppliers, disclaims any express or implied warranty of fitness for any such high risk uses. THE LIMITED WARRANTY SPECIFIED IN THIS SECTION 4 GIVES THE USER SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND MAY ALSO IMPLY OTHER RIGHTS WHICH VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION ON HOW LONG ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY LASTS, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY. 5. Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE LIABILITY OF DATADIRECT, IF ANY, FOR DAMAGES RELATING TO ANY PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE ACTUAL AMOUNTS PAID BY USER FOR SUCH PRODUCTS AND/OR SERVICES. DATADIRECT’S LICENSORS AND THEIR SUPPLIERS SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO USER FOR ANY DAMAGES SUFFERED BY USER OR ANY THIRD PARTY AS A RESULT OF USING THE PRODUCTS, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, OR AS A RESULT OF ANY SERVICES RELATING THERETO. NOTWITHSTANDING THE FOREGOING, IN NO EVENT SHALL DATADIRECT, ITS LICENSORS, OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST REVENUE, PROFIT OR DATA, OR FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY CHARACTER, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY COMMERCIAL DAMAGES OR LOSSES, HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THE THEORY OF LIABILITY, ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE PRODUCTS, OR ANY PORTION THEREOF, OR ANY SERVICES, EVEN IF DATADIRECT, ITS LICENSORS AND/OR ANY OF THEIR RESPECTIVE SUPPLIERS HAVE BEEN INFORMED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, SO THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY. EACH EXCLUSION OF LIMITATION IS INTENDED TO BE SEPARATE AND THEREFORE SEVERABLE EXCLUSION. 6. Export Regulations. The Products, including technical data, are subject to U.S. export control laws, including, without limitation, the U.S. Export Administration Act and its associated regulations, and may be subject to export or import regulations in other countries.

To the extent there are any terms and conditions contained in User’s purchase order or other documentation supplied by User (“User Documents”), the terms and conditions contained in the User Documents shall be deemed to be stricken and the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall govern. In the event of a conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the specific provisions set forth in an Order Letter, the provisions of the Order Letter shall control. This Agreement has been drawn up in English at the express wish of the parties. Le présent contrat a été rédigé en anglais à la demande expresse des parties. Except as otherwise expressly set forth herein, this Agreement is governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, without regard to its choice of law principles, and without regard to the provisions of any state Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act or similar federal, national or state laws or regulations. The parties expressly disclaim the application of the United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. If the Products are acquired outside the United States and local law is required, such local law shall apply. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be unenforceable, such provision shall be limited, modified or severed as necessary to eliminate its unenforceability, and all other provisions shall remain unaffected. DataDirect’s failure to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such provision. EXHIBIT A License Model Depending on the Products licensed in the Order Letter, the license grant listed in Section 1 is subject to the following descriptions and use restrictions: (a) Authorized User Basis. If the Product is licensed on an Authorized User basis, the Product may be used on a single computing machine which may be accessed by the number of Authorized Users specified in the Order Letter. An Authorized User is a single individual who has been designated to use the Product.
