6. SUPPORT, MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENTS (“Support”). Licensee is entitled to the Support services defined below as part of an annual Support fee.
6.1 ELECTRONIC SERVICES. To the extent that electronic services are available, Licensee may electronically access, at no charge, Support services which will be available twenty four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days per week. Such electronic services may include, but are not limited to: user forums, Product-specific information, hints and tips; bug fix retrieval via the Internet or World Wide Web access; Product maintenance and demonstration code retrieval via a WAN-accessible FTP server; and access to a problem resolution database via the Licensor customer support system.
6.2 SUPPORT. Support shall be applicable only to the Product licensed or sold under this Agreement for which Support fees have been paid. In the United States, Support is provided from 8:00 AM through 6:00 PM (Central Standard Time) Monday through Friday, excluding United States public and bank holidays. Support shall consist of:
(a) Supplying telephone or other electronic support to Licensee in order to help (i) Licensee locate and, on its own, correct problems with the Products and (ii) provide product licensing assistance. Upon mutual agreement by both parties, Licensor shall: (i) supply code corrections to Licensee to correct Product malfunctions in order to bring the Product into substantial conformity with the published operating specifications for the most current version of the Product unless Licensee’s unauthorized modifications prohibit or hamper such corrections or cause the malfunction; or (ii) supply code corrections to correct insubstantial problems at the next general release of the Product; and
(b) Supplying all extensions, enhancements and other changes that Licensor, at its sole discretion, makes or adds to the Product and which Licensor furnishes, without charge, to other licensees generally of the Product that are enrolled in Support.
6.3 TERMINATION OF SUPPORT. Licensee may cancel enrollment in Support upon written notice to Licensor at least thirty (30) days prior to the next Support Anniversary Date. If Licensee has failed to renew or terminated its enrollment in Support, for a period of up to three years from the Support expiration date, Licensee may re-enroll in Support by paying a reinstatement fee to be calculated based on Licensor’s then current reinstatement policy and due for the period during which Licensee was not enrolled in Support. In addition, Licensee must pay the annual charge for Support for the next year in advance. Such reinstatement date shall then be considered the Support Anniversary Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Support reinstatement will not be permitted after three years of lapsed Support. Licensee agrees not to modify the Product without the prior written approval of Licensor. Unapproved alterations to the Product shall void any obligation by Licensor to provide Support for the Product, pursuant to this Section 6, during the warranty period and any subsequent period in which Licensee is enrolled in Support. Licensor may elect to cease offering support services at any time (i) for a particular Product version in the case where it has been replaced by newer release(s) and (ii) in the case where a particular Product has reached its end of life.
6.4 CHANGE OF SUPPORT FEES. Licensor reserves the right to change its then current published list prices for the Products and its charge for Support at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice to Licensee. Any such change to Support shall not take effect until the completion of the then current support term.
6.5 SERVICES; UPDATES; PRODUCT CHANGES. Licensor is not required under this Agreement to provide any installation, training or other services to Licensee. Such services, if available, must be purchased separately. If Licensee purchases support and Licensor provides Licensee with a new release, error correction, update, upgrade or other modification to the Product, such modification will be deemed part of the Product, and subject to the License and the terms of this Agreement, unless the modification is expressly provided subject to a separate license agreement. If Licensee have acquired an upgrade version of the Product, such upgrade constitutes a single Product together with the copy of the Product that Licensee upgraded. This means that, although Licensee may have two sets of Product media and/or two license keys, Licensee still has only one license. Therefore, Licensee may not transfer the original copy of the Product or license key to any other party or user. Licensor reserves the right at any time not to release or to discontinue release of any Product and to alter prices, features, specifications, capabilities, functions, licensing terms, release dates, general availability or other characteristics of any future releases of the Product.
7. PAYMENT SCHEDULE. Payment for all License and Support fees shall be due thirty (30) following the date of an invoice issued by Licensor specifying the amounts due, unless otherwise set forth in an ordering document accepted by Licensor in writing. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, all fees are non-refundable. Licensor shall invoice Licensee for the initial Support fees upon the initial order of the licensed Products (the “Support Anniversary Date”). Sixty (60) days prior to each annual Support Anniversary Date of the licensed Products, Licensor shall invoice Licensee the then-current fee for the next year of Support. Annual Support fees are payable in advance and are non-refundable.
8. LIMITED WARRANTY AND CONDITIONS. Licensor represents and warrants to Licensee that for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of the delivery of the Product (i) the media on which the Product is furnished will be, under normal use, free from defects in material and workmanship; and (ii) the Product will perform in all material respects with the operating specifications contained in the accompanying Product documentation, which is current at the effective date of this Agreement. Other than with respect to any indemnification hereunder, Licensor’s entire liability and Licensee’s exclusive remedy under this provision will be for Licensor to use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy defects covered by this warranty and condition within a reasonable period of time or, at Licensor’s option, either to replace the defective Product or to refund the amount paid by Licensee to license the use of the Product.

Licensor shall not be liable for any costs or expenditures incurred by Licensee without Licensor’s prior written consent. If an injunction or order is obtained against Licensee’s use of the Product by reason of the allegations of infringement, or if in Licensor’s opinion the Product is likely to become the subject of a claim of infringement, Licensor shall, at its expense:
(a) Procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Product; or
(b) Modify or replace the Product with a compatible, functionally equivalent, non-infringing Product(s); or

This Section 10 is Licensor’s entire liability and Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of intellectual property infringement of any kind.

If an audit reveals that Licensee has underpaid fees to Licensor, Licensee shall be invoiced for such underpaid fees (based on the list prices in effect at the time the audit is completed); and if the underpaid fees exceed five percent (5%) of the License fees already paid, then Licensee shall also pay Licensor the reasonable costs of conducting the audit.
12. ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any of Licensee’s rights, licenses or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by Licensee to any third party, including without limitation in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, outsourcing, change of control or under any other circumstance.

5. TITLE AND PROPRIETARY INFORMATION.
5.1 TITLE AND COPYRIGHT. Licensor represents and warrants that it has the full rights to license the Product to Licensee and to perform its obligations under this Agreement. All title and copyrights and other industrial, intellectual and marketing rights in and to the Product(s), including but not limited to all modifications thereto made by or for any person, are owned by Licensor and/or its affiliates and licensors, and are protected by both United States copyright law and applicable international copyright treaties. Licensee agrees not to claim or assert title to or ownership of the Product. Except as expressly set forth herein, Licensee may copy the Product only for backup or archival purposes, and for no other purpose. Licensee will not remove or alter any copyright or proprietary notice from copies of the Product, and copies made by or for Licensee shall bear all copyright, trade secret, trademark and any other intellectual property right notices on the original copies. All rights not specifically granted to licensee herein are retained by Licensor.
5.2 RESTRICTIONS. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the Product contains valuable trade secrets of Licensor and/or its affiliates and licensors, and that this Agreement establishes a confidential relationship between the parties with respect to this information. Subject to applicable law, Licensee agrees:
(a) not to decompile, disassemble, reverse engineer or otherwise attempt to derive the Product source code from object code except to the extent expressly permitted by applicable law or treaty despite this limitation;
(b) not to sell, rent, lease, license, sublicense, display, modify, time share, outsource or otherwise transfer the Product to, or permit the use of the Product by, any third party; and
(c) to preserve the confidential nature of the proprietary and trade secret information by retaining and using the Product in trust and confidence, solely for its internal use, and using the degree of care and protection that Licensee would use for its own information of similar importance, but in no event less than a reasonable degree of care and protection, to prevent the unauthorized use, copying, publication or dissemination of the Product and Licensor’s confidential information learned from Licensee’s use of the Product.
Licensee will not export or re-export the Product without both the written consent of Licensor and the appropriate U.S. and / or foreign government license(s) or license exception(s). Licensor shall have the right to seek injunctive relief against any actual or threatened violation of these restrictions, in addition to any other available remedies. Additional restrictions may apply to certain files, programs or data supplied by third parties and embedded in the Product; consult the Product installation instructions or release notes for details. Licensee agrees to promptly report to Licensor any violations of these provisions by Licensee’s employees, consultants or agents of which Licensee is aware.
6. SUPPORT, MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENTS (“Support”). Licensee is entitled to the Support services defined below as part of an annual Support fee.
6.1 ELECTRONIC SERVICES. To the extent that electronic services are available, Licensee may electronically access, at no charge, Support services which will be available twenty four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days per week. Such electronic services may include, but are not limited to: user forums, Product-specific information, hints and tips; bug fix retrieval via the Internet or World Wide Web access; Product maintenance and demonstration code retrieval via a WAN-accessible FTP server; and access to a problem resolution database via the Licensor customer support system.
6.2 SUPPORT. Support shall be applicable only to the Product licensed or sold under this Agreement for which Support fees have been paid. In the United Kingdom, Support is provided from 9:00 AM through 5:30 PM GMT (British Winter) and GMT +1 (British Summer) Monday through Friday, excluding United Kingdom public and bank holidays. Support shall consist of:
(a) Supplying telephone or other electronic support to Licensee in order to help (i) Licensee locate and, on its own, correct problems with the Products and (ii) provide product licensing assistance. Upon mutual agreement by both parties, Licensor shall: (i) supply code corrections to Licensee to correct Product malfunctions in order to bring the Product into substantial conformity with the published operating specifications for the most current version of the Product unless Licensee’s unauthorized modifications prohibit or hamper such corrections or cause the malfunction; or (ii) supply code corrections to correct insubstantial problems at the next general release of the Product; and
(b) Supplying all extensions, enhancements and other changes that Licensor, at its sole discretion, makes or adds to the Product and which Licensor furnishes, without charge, to other licensees generally of the Product that are enrolled in Support.
6.3 TERMINATION OF SUPPORT. Licensee may cancel enrollment in Support upon written notice to Licensor at least thirty (30) days prior to the next Support Anniversary Date. If Licensee has failed to renew or terminated its enrollment in Support, for a period of up to three years from the Support expiration date, Licensee may re-enroll in Support by paying a reinstatement fee to be calculated based on Licensor’s then current reinstatement policy and due for the period during which Licensee was not enrolled in Support. In addition, Licensee must pay the annual charge for Support for the next year in advance. Such reinstatement date shall then be considered the Support Anniversary Date. For the avoidance of doubt, Support reinstatement will not be permitted after three years of lapsed Support. Licensee agrees not to modify the Product without the prior written approval of Licensor. Unapproved alterations to the Product shall void any obligation by Licensor to provide Support for the Product, pursuant to this Section 6, during the warranty period and any subsequent period in which Licensee is enrolled in Support. Licensor may elect to cease offering support services at any time (i) for a particular Product version in the case where it has been replaced by newer release(s) and (ii) in the case where a particular Product has reached its end of life.
6.4 CHANGE OF SUPPORT FEES. Licensor reserves the right to change its then current published list prices for the Products and its charge for Support at any time upon thirty (30) days written notice to Licensee. Any such change to Support shall not take effect until the completion of the then current support term.
6.5 SERVICES; UPDATES; PRODUCT CHANGES. Licensor is not required under this Agreement to provide any installation, training or other services to Licensee. Such services, if available, must be purchased separately. If Licensee purchases support and Licensor provides Licensee with a new release, error correction, update, upgrade or other modification to the Product, such modification will be deemed part of the Product, and subject to the License and the terms of this Agreement, unless the modification is expressly provided subject to a separate license agreement. If Licensee have acquired an upgrade version of the Product, such upgrade constitutes a single Product together with the copy of the Product that Licensee upgraded. This means that, although Licensee may have two sets of Product media and/or two license keys, Licensee still has only one license. Therefore, Licensee may not transfer the original copy of the Product or license key to any other party or user. Licensor reserves the right at any time not to release or to discontinue release of any Product and to alter prices, features, specifications, capabilities, functions, licensing terms, release dates, general availability or other characteristics of any future releases of the Product.
7. PAYMENT SCHEDULE. Payment for all License and Support fees shall be due thirty (30) following the date of an invoice issued by Licensor specifying the amounts due, unless otherwise set forth in an ordering document accepted by Licensor in writing. Unless otherwise expressly set forth herein, all fees are non-refundable. Licensor shall invoice Licensee for the initial Support fees upon the initial order of the licensed Products (the “Support Anniversary Date”). Sixty (60) days prior to each annual Support Anniversary Date of the licensed Products, Licensor shall invoice Licensee the then-current fee for the next year of Support. Annual Support fees are payable in advance and are non-refundable.
8. LIMITED WARRANTY AND CONDITIONS. Licensor represents and warrants to Licensee that for a period of sixty (60) days from the date of the delivery of the Product (i) the media on which the Product is furnished will be, under normal use, free from defects in material and workmanship; and (ii) the Product will perform in all material respects with the operating specifications contained in the accompanying Product documentation, which is current at the effective date of this Agreement. Other than with respect to any indemnification hereunder, Licensor’s entire liability and Licensee’s exclusive remedy under this provision will be for Licensor to use commercially reasonable efforts to remedy defects covered by this warranty and condition within a reasonable period of time or, at Licensor’s option, either to replace the defective Product or to refund the amount paid by Licensee to license the use of the Product. Licensor does not warrant or condition that the operation of the Product will be uninterrupted or error free or that all software defects can be corrected. This warranty and condition shall not apply if (A) the Product is not used in accordance with applicable documentation; (B) the Product defect has been caused by Licensee’s malfunctioning equipment; or (C) Licensee has made modifications to the Product not expressly authorized in writing by Licensor. No employee, agent, or representative of Licensor has the authority to bind Licensor to any oral representations, warranties or conditions concerning the Product. Any written representation, warranty or condition not expressly contained in this Agreement shall not be enforceable.
THIS WARRANTY AND CONDITION IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES AND CONDITIONS. THERE ARE NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, REGARDING THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY PRODUCT (S) LICENSED HEREUNDER.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Neither Licensor nor Licensee shall be liable to the other party for consequential, indirect, incidental, exemplary, special or punitive damages from any cause, whether in contract, tort (including negligence) or otherwise, arising out of or in any way connected with the design, manufacture, sale, support or use of the Product. Except as provided in Section 10 below, in no event shall Licensor’s or Licensee’s liability for direct damages resulting from the use of the Product exceed the amount paid by the Licensee to license the use of the Product.
10. INDEMNIFICATION FOR INFRINGEMENT. Licensor will defend or settle, at its own expense, any claim against Licensee asserting a patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret or proprietary right violation which concerns the Product used within the scope of the License hereunder. Licensor shall indemnify Licensee against any loss, expense or liability including reasonable attorney’s fees from any damages alleged against Licensee. Licensor shall have no obligations under this Section unless (i) Licensee notifies Licensor in writing within ten (10) days after Licensee first receives notice of any such claim, action or allegation of infringement and (ii) Licensor is given sole control of the defence of any action and all negotiations for its settlement or compromise, with the reasonable assistance of Licensee. Licensor shall not be liable for any costs or expenditures incurred by Licensee without Licensor’s prior written consent. If an injunction or order is obtained against Licensee’s use of the Product by reason of the allegations of infringement, or if in Licensor’s opinion the Product is likely to become the subject of a claim of infringement, Licensor shall, at its expense:
(a) Procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Product; or
(b) Modify or replace the Product with a compatible, functionally equivalent, non-infringing Product(s); or
(c) If neither (a) nor (b) is reasonably practical in Licensor’s judgment, remove the Product and issue Licensee a pro rata credit based upon the License fees paid for the Product prorated over a thirty-six (36) month period from the date of shipment of the Product. Thereafter, termination shall proceed in accordance with the terms of Section 4.
Licensor shall have no obligation under this Section to the extent the alleged infringement results from (i) modification of the Product other than by Licensor; (ii) the combination of the Product with products not provided by Licensor; or (iii) use of any older version of the Product when use of a newer version made available to Licensee would have avoided the infringement. This Section 10 is Licensor’s entire liability and Licensee’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of intellectual property infringement of any kind.
11. VERIFICATION. Licensor may, at its expense, audit the number of copies of the Product in use by Licensee and the designated CPU(s) on which the Product(s) is / are installed. Any such audit shall be conducted during regular business hours at Licensee’s facilities and shall not unreasonably interfere with Licensee’s business activities. If an audit reveals that Licensee has underpaid fees to Licensor, Licensee shall be invoiced for such underpaid fees (based on the list prices in effect at the time the audit is completed); and if the underpaid fees exceed five percent (5%) of the License fees already paid, then Licensee shall also pay Licensor the reasonable costs of conducting the audit.
12. ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any of Licensee’s rights, licenses or obligations hereunder may be assigned or delegated by Licensee to any third party, including without limitation in connection with a merger, acquisition, reorganization, outsourcing, change of control or under any other circumstance. Any such purported assignment or delegation shall be void and of no effect and shall constitute an incurable breach of this Agreement resulting in the automatic termination of this Agreement and all rights and licenses granted to Licensee hereunder.

By downloading or using Products, Licensee represents and warrants that it is not located in, under control of, or a national or resident of any such country or on any such list.

15. NOTICE.

In no event shall Customer install, operate, use or access the Licensed Software in contravention of the foregoing restrictions applicable to the Licensed Software or any other restrictions contained in this Agreement.
Additional Terms Governing CLU Licenses – The following additional terms and conditions contained in this Section 2(c) shall apply to all Licensed Software licensed to Customer by Idera on a per-CLU basis.
In non-virtual environments, the total physical CPUs each requiring an individual CLU License is calculated as the sum of (A) the number of licensed physical CPU sockets on the system motherboard that are populated with physical CPUs, each of which may have up to four (4) cores without requiring an additional CLU License in respect of Excess Cores (as defined below) as provided in clause (B) below (such initial four cores, the “Base Cores”), and (B) the sum of all Excess Cores calculated in accordance with this Section 2(c)(i).The term “Excess Cores” means, with respect to each physical CPU populated in a socket, the quotient of the aggregate number of all additional cores in excess of the Base Cores for such CPU divided by four (4) and rounded up to the nearest whole number. For example, if there is a two-socket server with each physical CPU socket populated with an eight-core processor, four (4) Physical CPU Units are counted (two in respect of the physical CPUs and two in respect of the cores in excess of the Base Cores per CPU) and four (4) CLU Licenses for the Licensed Software are required. If there is a two-socket server with each physical CPU socket populated with a six-core processor, four (4) Physical CPU Units are counted (two in respect of the physical CPUs and two in respect of the cores in excess of the Base Cores per CPU) and four (4) CLU Licenses for the Licensed Software are required.
In virtual environments, a virtual CPU requiring an individual CLU License is defined as up to four (4) virtual CPUs allocated to a virtual machine. For example, if four (4) virtual CPUs are allocated to a virtual machine, four (4) Virtual CPU Units are counted and one (1) CLU License for the Licensed Software is required. If seven (7) virtual CPUs are allocated to a virtual machine, seven (7) virtual CPUs are counted and two (2) CLU Licenses for the Licensed Software are required.
Copies & Disaster Recovery – Customer may make a reasonable number of back-up archival copies of the Licensed Software. In the event of any outage that results in the complete failure of the computer system upon which Customer has installed the Licensed Software, Customer’s right to use the Licensed Software shall include, during the pendency of such outage, the temporary right to use the Licensed Software in a replacement computing environment substantially similar to the original computing environment upon which the Licensed Software was installed immediately prior to such outage. Customer shall reproduce all confidentiality and proprietary notices on each of the copies permitted hereunder and maintain an accurate record of the location of each of the copies.Customer shall not otherwise copy or duplicate the Licensed Material.Customer shall not reverse engineer, disassemble, translate, modify, adapt, or decompile the Licensed Material or apply any procedure or process to the Licensed Material in order to ascertain, derive, and/or appropriate the source code or source listings for the Licensed Software or any trade secret or other proprietary information contained in the Licensed Software.
Maintenance Optional – Customer’s right to use the Licensed Software shall survive any election by Customer to terminate or not renew Maintenance Services from Idera.
Other Services – All licenses and Maintenance Services purchased by Customer in respect of the Licensed Material shall be governed by this Agreement, together with the applicable Purchase Orders delivered hereunder.Unless otherwise agreed by the parties in writing, all other services purchased by Customer in respect of the Licensed Software, if any, including implementation services, training services and professional services (collectively, “Ancillary Services”), shall be governed solely by a separate written mutually acceptable services agreement entered into by the parties or, in the absence of such agreement, Idera’s standard professional services agreement, and acceptance of the Licensed Material shall not be contingent upon Customer’s acceptance of any such Ancillary Services.
DELIVERY AND PAYMENT TERMS
Delivery – All Licensed Material shall be delivered by Idera to Customer via electronic delivery using a secure internet download site.Ownership of the all licenses purchased hereunder and risk of loss for the related Licensed Materials shall be deemed to have passed to Customer once Idera has made the Licensed Material available for download by Customer, notified Customer of the availability of the Licensed Material for download and provided Customer with License Keys necessary for the installation and operation of the Licensed Software.
