General Terms

1. License Grant.  Affirmed grants to Licensee, subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and payment of all applicable fees, a nonexclusive, nontransferable right to use the Affirmed software and related documentation (“Software”) as installed on equipment owned by Licensee and approved by Affirmed in its Documentation (“Designated Equipment”) during the Term.   For each order of Software, Affirmed reserves the right to provide Licensee with temporary licenses to the Software which will be valid for a period of sixty (60) days following shipment; upon payment in full for the Software, Affirmed will convert such temporary licenses to permanent licenses.  Licensee may copy the Software in object code form only for archival and back-up purposes.  This Agreement grants to Licensee the right to use the Software only on the Designated Equipment.  Affirmed reserves all rights not expressly granted to Licensee.  Ownership of, and title to, the Software (which includes any manuals, guides or any other printed material that Affirmed provides to Licensee for use with the Software (“Documentation”)) and all copies thereof, is and will be held by Affirmed and its licensors. Software is licensed, not sold, to Licensee, notwithstanding the use herein of the words “sale,” “sell,” “sold,” and the like.  Licensee will not be permitted to sublicense any of its rights under this Agreement, except with the prior written consent of Affirmed.
2. Restrictions. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, Licensee may not rent, lease, sublicense, distribute, transfer, copy, reproduce, modify or time-share the Software, nor permit publication or distribution of results of any benchmark tests run on the Software.  Licensee is not permitted (1) to decompile, disassemble, reverse compile, reverse assemble, reverse translate or otherwise reverse engineer the Software, (2) to use any similar means to discover the source code of the Software or to discover the trade secrets in the Software, or (3) to otherwise circumvent any technological measure that controls access to the Software; provided that, if required under applicable law, upon Licensee’s written request, Affirmed shall provide information to Licensee, subject to the confidentiality provisions of this Agreement and for a nominal administrative charge, solely as necessary for Licensee to achieve the limited purpose of interoperability between the Software and other software.  Licensee agrees not to remove or alter any copyright notice or restrictive rights legend from the Software.  With respect to Oracle software included in the Software, Licensee further agrees to the terms of Exhibit A hereto. The source code for the Software and other trade secrets embodied in the Software are not disclosed or provided to Licensee.
3. Designated Equipment; Shipment; License Keys.
   (a) Purchase of Designated Equipment. Licensee is responsible for purchasing the Designated Equipment on which the Software is installed. Affirmed shall provide a registration key to enable the Licensee to use the Software on the Designated Equipment.(b)  Delivery.  Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, the Software shall be delivered to Licensee via electronic download.
4. Taxes. Prices do not include any tax or other governmental charge or assessment on the license, sale, shipment, production or use of any Software provided to Licensee hereunder. Such taxes and charges, when applicable, may appear as separate additional charges on the invoice. Licensee shall be solely responsible for, and will pay upon demand, any such tax, charge or assessment, unless Licensee has furnished an appropriate valid certificate of exemption issued by or acceptable to the tax authority in question.
5. Confidentiality. (a) Confidential Information.  Confidential Information of a party means all information of that party (a “Discloser”) relating to or disclosed to the other party (a “Recipient”) by or on behalf of the Discloser during the Term which is or should be reasonably understood by the Recipient to be confidential or proprietary to the Discloser, including, but not limited to, the material provisions of this Agreement, the Software, technical processes and formulas, source codes and other software, product designs, sales, cost and other unpublished financial information, product and business plans, projections, and marketing data. Confidential Information does not include information that: (a) was known to the Recipient before receipt from Discloser; (b) is obtained by the Recipient from any third person not owing any confidentiality obligation to the Discloser; (c) is or becomes generally known in the trade through no act or omission of the Recipient; or (d) is independently developed by the Recipient or Recipient’s employees who have not had direct or indirect access to Discloser’s Confidential Information.  Recipient will bear the burden of establishing any of these exclusions. (b) Use.  Confidential Information of each party will be used by the other party solely for the purposes permitted by this Agreement and may not be disclosed to a third party without the disclosing party’s prior written consent.  Each party acknowledges that it will not obtain any rights of any sort in or to the Confidential Information of the other party as a result of such disclosure and that any such rights must be the subject of separate written agreement(s).  Either party may disclose the general nature, but not the specific financial terms, of this Agreement without the prior consent of the other party; provided each party may provide a copy of this Agreement to any finance provider in conjunction with a financing transaction, if such finance provider agrees to keep this Agreement confidential.(c) Required Disclosures. Nothing herein shall prevent either party from disclosing all or part of the Confidential Information of the other as necessary pursuant to the lawful requirement of a governmental agency or when disclosure is required by operation of law; provided that prior to any such disclosure, a Recipient shall use reasonable efforts to (i) promptly notify the Discloser in writing of such requirement to disclose, and (ii) cooperate fully with the Discloser in protecting against any such disclosure or obtaining a protective order. Recipient may comply with any such court order or other legal requirement, but any information so disclosed shall continue to be treated as Confidential Information hereunder.(d) Equitable Relief.  Money damages will not be an adequate remedy if this Section 5 is breached and, therefore, each party shall, in addition to any other legal or equitable remedies, be entitled to an injunction or similar equitable relief against such breach or threatened breach without the necessity of posting any bond or surety.
6. Warranties and Disclaimers.(a) Licensee Warranty.

Repaired, modified or replaced Software will be delivered to Licensee and the warranty period therefore will continue for thirty (30) days following delivery of the returned Software, or the balance of the original Software warranty period, whichever is longer.(b)  WARRANTY DISCLAIMER.  THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE THE ONLY WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND MADE BY AFFIRMED WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE.

This Section 7 states the entire liability of either party in respect of any third party claim.  The indemnified party shall have the right to approve any settlement that does not provide a full release to the indemnified party and/or requires it to admit any wrongdoing.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.   AFFIRMED’S AND ITS LICENSORS’ LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ANY CLAIM OR ACTION, WILL NOT EXCEED THE AGGREGATE FEES PAID BY LICENSEE FOR THE PRODUCTS OR SERVICES INVOLVED IN THE CLAIM DURING THE TWELVE (12) MONTHS PRIOR TO THE CLAIM.  AFFIRMED WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF USE, LOSS OF DATA, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, NOR FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE ARISING IN ANY WAY IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT.
