1.1 License Grant.

1.2 Terms and Restrictions of User. The Licensee is permitted to use and, in the case of electronic subscriptions, print or download reasonable portions of the UB Products, exclusively for use in carrying out the Business Purpose. Licensee and its Authorized Users shall not, directly or indirectly, allow any other Third-Party to use or access the UB Products, and shall not, directly or indirectly, use or permit the use of UB Products for any purpose other than the Business Purpose. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee is expressly prohibited from:

(a) selling, renting, sublicensing, leasing or otherwise making available the UB Products for Third-Party training, commercial time-sharing, rental or service bureau use, or outsourcing services for the benefit of any third parties;

(b) reverse engineering, disassembling, or decompiling the UB Products, except to the extent otherwise expressly permitted by applicable law;

(c) modifying or making any derivative works of the UB Products not specified in this Agreement;

(d) using or data-mining the UB Products in any way for the purpose of designing or developing competing software and/or data or informational products, or any other purpose that is to UB’s commercial disadvantage;

(e) externally distributing the UB Product(s) without acquiring the appropriate license(s) (pricing available on request), making the UB Product(s) publicly available, reproducing or storing in, or transmitting, the UB Products to any Third-Party website, newsgroup, mailing list, or electronic bulletin board; or

(f) use of the UB Product(s) or Documentation in violation of any law, regulation, or rule.

1.3 Notices of Unauthorized Use or Alleged Infringement. . Licensee agrees to notify UB immediately if it becomes aware of any unauthorized use or disclosure of the UB Products or if it becomes aware of any alleged facts that, if true, would support a claim that (i) a Third-Party is infringing the rights of UB in UB Products or (ii) that the UB Products infringe any intellectual property rights or other proprietary rights of a Third-Party. Licensee will advise UB of the specific details of the unauthorized use or infringement claim.

1.4 Reservation of Rights. Any use of the UB Products not specifically permitted by this Section 1 is expressly prohibited. All rights not expressly granted hereunder by UB are expressly reserved by UB or its licensors, and no other license or right is granted to Licensee by implication, estoppel or otherwise.

2. OWNERSHIP; PROPRIETARY RIGHTS; CONFIDENTIALITY.

2.1 Ownership Licensee acknowledges and agrees that the UB Products contain valuable trade secrets and confidential information of UB and its licensors and are protected or able to be protected by domestic and international trade secret, copyright, and patent laws and other forms of proprietary rights. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that, as between the parties hereto, UB and its licensors shall be the sole and exclusive owner of all right, title and interest in and to the UB Products, subject to the terms of the UB License granted hereunder. Although some tangible objects may be delivered by UB to Licensee in connection with this Agreement, this Agreement does not constitute a sale of the UB Products or any portion or copy thereof.

2.2 Proprietary Rights Notices. Licensee may not remove, obscure or modify any copyright, trademark or other form of proprietary notices on the UB Products. Licensee shall have the limited right to use UB’s trademarks and service marks and other indicia of origin in conjunction with the UB Products, solely for the purpose of ensuring the identification of UB as the owner thereof, and any such use shall inure exclusively to the benefit of UB and its successors and assigns. No other use of UB’s trademarks, service marks and other indicia of origin may be made by Licensee absent prior written consent of UB in each case.

2.3 Confidentiality. At all times, Licensee agrees to maintain the UB Products, in strict confidence as confidential and proprietary materials of UB, and agrees not to disclose, duplicate or otherwise reproduce, directly or indirectly, said items in whole or in part or any materials relating thereto (except that, during the Term, Licensee may make a reasonable, limited number of copies of the UB Products, as may be necessary to carry out the Business Purpose and for archival or back-up purposes). Licensee shall safeguard all UB Product(s) (including all copies thereof) from infringement, misappropriation, theft, misuse, or unauthorized access. Licensee shall promptly notify UB if Licensee becomes aware of any infringement of UB’s Intellectual Property Rights in the UB Product(s) and fully cooperate with UB in any legal action taken by UB to enforce its Intellectual Property Rights. Licensee shall be liable to UB for any unauthorized access to, or use of, the UB Products, and further agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless UB against any third-party claims that may arise out of the same.

2.4 Injunctive Relief. In the event of any unauthorized use or disclosure of confidential information by Licensee, UB may elect to terminate this Agreement and the UB License as provided in Section 4.2 below. Because any unauthorized use, disclosure or transfer of the UB Products may diminish substantially the value of such materials and may irrevocably harm UB and/or its licensors, if Licensee breaches the provisions of this Section 2 and/or the scope of the UB License granted in Section 1, UB and/ or its licensors will be entitled to injunctive and/or other equitable relief, in addition to other remedies afforded by law, without any requirement for the posting of a bond.

2.5 Compliance Measures

a. On a semi-annual basis, and otherwise on Licensor’s written request, Licensee shall conduct a review of its and its Authorized Users’ use of the UB Product(s) and certify to Licensor in a written instrument signed by an officer of Licensee that it is in full compliance with this Agreement or, if Licensee discovers any noncompliance:

• (i) Licensee shall immediately remedy such noncompliance and provide Licensor with written notice thereof. Licensee shall provide Licensor with all access and assistance as Licensor requests to further evaluate and remedy such noncompliance.

b. During the Term, Licensor may, in Licensor’s sole discretion, audit Licensee’s use of the UB Product(s) to ensure Licensee’s compliance with this Agreement.

Licensor shall only examine information directly related to the Licensee’s use of the UB Product(s). Licensor may conduct audits only during Licensee’s normal business hours and in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with the Licensee’s business operations. If any audit reveals that Licensee has underpaid any License Fees or other amounts payable to UB, Licensee shall be invoiced for such underpaid fees based on UB’s then current License Fees or other prices in effect at the time the audit is conducted. If the underpaid License Fees are in excess of five percent (5%), then Licensee shall pay UB’s reasonable costs of conducting the audit. Audits shall be made no more than twice per calendar year.

c. If the audit determines that the Licensee’s use of the UB Product(s) exceeds or exceeded the use permitted by this Agreement then:

• (i) Licensee shall, within seven (7) days following the date of Licensor’s written notification thereof, pay to Licensor the retroactive License Fees for such excess use and, unless Licensor terminates this Agreement pursuant to Section 4.2, obtain and pay for a valid license to bring Licensee’s use into compliance with this Agreement. In determining the Licensee Fee payable pursuant to the foregoing, (x) unless Licensee can demonstrate otherwise by documentary evidence, all excess use of the UB Product(s) shall be deemed to have commenced on the commencement date of this Agreement or, if later, the completion date of any audit previously conducted by Licensor hereunder, and continued uninterrupted thereafter, and (y) the rates for such licenses shall be determined without regard to any discount to which Licensee may have been entitled had such use been properly licensed prior to its commencement (or deemed commencement).

• (ii) Licensee shall also pay to Licensor, within seven (7) days following the date of Licensor’s written request therefor, Licensor’s costs incurred in conducting the audit.

• (iii) Licensor shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement and the license granted hereunder, effective immediately upon written notice to Licensee.
