What This License Agreement Covers

This license agreement includes the terms and definitions provided below and the order you previously completed. Your order is not effective until accepted by us. If accepted, we will notify you and your notice will include a copy of your license agreement. Upon our acceptance, we grant you the limited right to use the programs and any services you ordered solely for your business operations and subject to the terms of this license agreement, including the definitions below and the program documentation. You may allow your agents and contractors to use the programs for this purpose, subject to the terms of this license agreement. Program documentation is either shipped with the programs, or you may access the documentation online at http://docs.oracle.com. If ordered, annual technical support is provided under our technical support policies, which are subject to change and may contain additional terms. Services are provided based on the then current policies for the applicable services ordered.

This agreement is governed by the substantive and procedural laws of California and you and we agree to submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the courts in California in any dispute relating to this agreement.

Ownership and Restrictions

We retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the programs and services. You may make a sufficient number of copies of each program for your licensed use and one copy of each program for backup purposes when your system is inoperative; you must obtain our prior written approval to make additional copies.

You may not:

remove or modify any program markings or any notice of our proprietary rights;
make the programs available in any manner to any third party for use in the third party's business operations (unless such access is expressly permitted for the specific program license you have acquired);
use the programs to provide third party training, except for training your authorized users;
assign this license agreement or give or transfer the programs,  technical support or other services or an interest in them to another individual or entity  (and if you grant a security interest in the programs,  the secured party has no right to use or transfer the programs);
cause or permit reverse engineering or decompilation of the programs, unless required for
  interoperability; or
disclose results of any program benchmark tests without our prior written consent.

 

You agree that U.S. export control laws and other applicable export and import laws govern your use of the programs, including technical data. You agree that neither the programs nor any direct product thereof will be exported, directly, or indirectly, in violation of these laws, or will be used for any purpose prohibited by these laws including, without limitation, nuclear, chemical, or biological weapons proliferation.

Upon 45 days written notice, we may audit your use of the programs. You agree to cooperate with our audit and provide us with reasonable assistance and access to information. You agree to pay within 30 days of written notification any underpaid fees. If you do not pay, we can end your support, licenses and this agreement.

 

If you have a dispute with us, or if you become subject to insolvency proceedings, you will promptly send written notice to: Oracle Corporation, 500 Oracle Parkway, Redwood City, California, United States, 94065, Attention: General Counsel, Legal Department.

Warranties, Disclaimers and Exclusive Remedies

We warrant that programs will substantially operate as described in the applicable program documentation for one year after we deliver them to you. We also warrant that technical support and services will be provided consistently with industry standards, and this warranty is valid for a period of 90 days from performance of the service.

WE DO NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE PROGRAMS WILL PERFORM ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED OR THAT WE WILL CORRECT ALL PROGRAM ERRORS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THESE W ARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND THERE ARE NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

IF  WE  CANNOT  SUBSTANTIALLY  CORRECT  A    BREACH    OF    OUR    WARRANTIES    IN    A
COMMERCIALLY REASONABLE MANNER, YOU MAY END YOUR PROGRAM LICENSE, TECHNICAL SUPPORT OR OTHER SERVICES AND RECOVER THE LICENSE FEES, TECHNICAL SUPPORT FEES OR OTHER SERVICES FEES PAID TO US UNDER THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT FOR THE RELEV ANT PROGRAM, TECHNICAL SUPPORT OR SERVICE. THIS IS YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY.

Trial Programs

You may order trial programs, or we may include additional programs with your order which you may use for trial purposes only. You have 30 days from the delivery date to evaluate these programs. If you decide to use any of these programs after the 30 day trial period, you must obtain a license for each program from us.   Programs licensed for trial purposes are provided "as is" and we do not provide technical support or any warranties for these programs.

End of License Agreement

If you breach the terms of this license agreement and fail to correct the breach within 30 days after we notify you, we may end this license agreement and your use of programs and technical support and other services. If we end this agreement as specified in the preceding sentence,  you must pay within 30 days all amounts which have accrued prior to the end of this license agreement, as well as all sums remaining unpaid for programs and services ordered under this agreement. You agree that if you are in default under this agreement or an OFD agreement related to your order, you may not use the programs or technical support or other services ordered.

Fees and Taxes

All fees payable to us are due within 30 days, and you also agree to pay any sales, value-added or other similar taxes which we must pay based on the programs, technical support or other services you ordered.

Indemnification

If someone makes a claim against you that our programs infringe their intellectual property rights, we will indemnify you if you do the following:

notify the General Counsel, Legal Department promptly in Writing, not later than 30 days after you receive notice of the claim, or sooner if required by applicable law;
give us sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations; and
give us the information, authority, and assistance we need to defend against or settle the claim.

 

If we believe that any of our programs may have violated someone else's intellectual property rights, we may choose to either modify the programs or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these alternatives are not commercially reasonable,  we may end the license for the applicable program and refund any license fees  you have paid for it.  We will not indemnify you if you alter a program outside the scope of use provided in the documentation or if you use a program version which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the program.  This section provides your exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages.

Entire Agreement

You agree that this license agreement together with your order is the complete agreement for the programs, technical support and other services ordered, and this license agreement supersedes all prior or contemporaneous agreements or representations concerning your order. If any term of this license agreement is found to be invalid or unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain effective.

Definitions

To fully understand your license grant, you need to review the definition for both the licensing metric and term designation which are listed below.

Named User -Single Server:   is defined as an individual authorized by you to use the programs which are installed on a single server, regardless of whether the individual is actively using the program(s) at any given time. A non human operated device will be counted as a Named User -Single Server in addition to all individuals authorized to use the programs, if such devices can access the programs.  If multiplexing hardware or software (e.g., a TP monitor or a web server product) is used, this number must be measured at the multiplexing front end.

Named User -Multi Server:    is defined as an individual authorized by you to use the programs which are installed on multiple servers, regardless of whether the individual is actively using the programs at any given time. A non human operated device will be counted as a Named User -Multi Server in addition to all individuals authorized to use the programs, if such devices can access the programs.  If multiplexing hardware or software (e.g., a TP monitor or a web server product) is used, this number must be measured at the multiplexing front end.

Universal Power Unit ("UPU"):  is defined as one unit of platform dependent processing power. To determine the number of UPUs required for each Intel/CISC or Intel/CISC compatible processor, multiply the total number of MHz on which the programs are installed by a factor of 1.0. To determine the number of UPUs required for each RISC or RISC compatible processor (including Intel/RISC), multiply the total number of MHz on which the programs are installed by a factor of 1.5. To determine the number of UPUs required in a mainframe environment, multiply the total number of MIPS on which the programs are installed by a factor of 24.  The total number of UPUs is determined by adding together the number of UPUs for all computers. Programs licensed on a UPU basis may be accessed by your internal users (including agents and contractors), and by third party users that access the programs via Internet networking protocols.

Application User:  is defined as an individual authorized by you to use the application programs which are installed on a single server or on multiple servers regardless of whether the individual is actively using the programs at any given time.

Application Read-Only User:   is defined as an individual authorized by you to run only queries or reports against application programs for which you have acquired Application User licenses.

 

Primary Usage: is defined as each Application User of the following applications: Financials, Discrete Manufacturing, Project Costing and Purchasing.  Each such Application User is counted only once based on primary usage. You must specify how many Application Users you are licensing for each application. Primary Usage of one of the applications listed above provides the Application User with the right to use any or all of the other application programs listed above for which you are licensed. Primary Usage does not provide you with the right  to use other application programs including the extensions or options to the application programs listed above.

Hosted Named User:   is defined as an individual authorized by you to access the hosted service, regardless of whether the individual is actively accessing the hosted service at any given time.

Entry:   is defined as a unique item (e.g., object, person, entity or item of information) stored within the programs. Replicated entries stored within the program on multiple servers are counted as a single entry.

Workstation:  is defined as the client computer from which the programs are being accessed, regardless of where the program is installed.

Module:   is defined as each production database running the programs.

Subscriber:   is defined as (a) a working telephone number for all wireline devices; (b) a portable handset or paging device that has been activated by you for wireless communications and paging; (c) a residential drop or a nonresidential device serviced by a cable provider; or (d) a live connected utility meter .The total number of Subscribers is equal to the aggregate of all types of Subscribers. If your business is not defined in the primary definition of Subscriber above,  Subscriber is defined as each U.S. $1,000 increment of your gross annual revenue as reported to the SEC in your annual report or the equivalent accounting or reporting document.

Person:   is defined as your employee or contractor who is actively working on behalf of your organization or a former employee who has one or more benefit plans managed by the system or continues to be paid through the system. The total number of licenses needed is to be based on the peak number of part-time and full-time people whose records are recorded in the system.

Trainee:   is defined as an employee, contractor, student or other person who is being recorded by the program.

Employee:   is defined as an active employee of yours. (note: The value of these applications is determined by the size of the active employee population and not the number of actual users. Therefore, all of your active employees must be included in your order when licensing these applications.)

This LETTER OF CREDIT AGREEMENT ("LC Agreement") is entered into by and between Customer and Assignee stated above in connection with the financing of the above referenced Contract. In order to induce Assignee to finance the Contract, Customer agrees to furnish Assignee with the letter of credit hereinafter described.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the above premises and promises herein contained and other good and valuable consideration, the receipt and adequacy of which is acknowledged by Customer and Assignee, it is hereby agreed as follows.

1. Customer, as security for the performance by (a) Customer of any and all obligations under the Contract, as now existing or thereafter amended, and (b) Customer of any and all of its obligations under this LC Agreement (the Contract, this LC Agreement and any other related agreements being collectively referred to as the "Financing Agreements"), will furnish Assignee with an unconditional and irrevocable letter of credit substantially in the form of Exhibit A attached hereto and for the Initial LC Amount specified above ("the Initial Letter of Credit"), naming Assignee as beneficiary, which shall not have an expiry date which is earlier that the date on which all of the obligations of Customer to Assignee under the Contract shall expire; provided, however, that in order to satisfy the expiry requirement of this sentence, Customer shall provide Assignee with one or more renewal letters of credit (each, a "Renewal Letter of Credit") for the amounts of and consistent with the terms and conditions provided herein. The Initial Letter of Credit and each Renewal Letter of Credit shall be issued for a term of not less than one year from the date of issuance, in each case by a bank acceptable to Assignee, in Assignee's sole discretion, and shall be automatically renewed at least thirty (30) days prior to expiration unless both parties agree in writing to the termination of this LC Agreement. The Initial Letter of Credit and each Renewal Letter of Credit are together referred to as the "Letter of Credit".

2. Provided Assignee has confirmed in writing that (a) a Default has not occurred under the terms of the Contract, and (b) Assignee has received any and all payments which may be due and payable under the terms of the Contract in a timely manner, the LC Amount for each Renewal Letter of Credit shall be reduced to equal the 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th Renewal LC Amounts respectively.

Assignee shall have the right to draw on the Letter of Credit: (a) upon any Default under the terms of the Contract that has not been cured within thirty (30) days of its occurrence; (b) any breach by Customer of any term or condition set forth in this LC Agreement (without regard to notice or cure periods); (c) if permitted to do so by any specific provision of any of the Financing Agreements; or (d) if Assignee receives notice that the bank issuing the letter of credit will not renew the letter of credit at its expiry. Assignee's exercise of the rights granted to it under this Letter of Credit Agreement shall be in addition to and not in lieu of, and Assignee may pursue, Assignee's other rights and remedies provided in the Financing Agreements or otherwise. Each original and renewal or replacement Letter of Credit is intended to be additional security only and is not deemed to waive any rights which Assignee has against Customer under the Financing Agreements. Assignee may draw any amount not exceeding, in total, the face amount of the Letter of Credit and may receive said monies therefrom at Assignee's sole discretion, with partial drawings permitted in Assignee's sole discretion.

4.
