All applicable patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and intellectual rights in the Software and any updates, modifications or enhancements made by Licensee or Essentus are and shall remain the property of Essentus. 4.2.3 Licensee shall not sell, transfer, distribute, market, rent, lease, publish, display or otherwise make available the Software or Documentation to others. Licensee agrees to secure and protect the Modified Software and Documentation and copies in a manner consistent with the maintenance and protection of Essentus's rights therein and to take appropriate action by instruction or agreement with its Employees or others who are permitted access to the Modified Software and to each program or software application. All copies of the Modified Software made by Licensee and other programs developed, including all corrections, modifications, improvements, enhancements or derivatives of the Software made by or for Licensee, translations, compilations and partial copies, as well as all copyright, patents, trade secrets and other - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 1 of 10 33 intellectual property rights therein are the property of Essentus. Licensee is permitted to make copies of the Modified Software for back-up and archival purposes only. 4.3 No Rights Prior to Payment 4.3.1 Notwithstanding the foregoing Licensee shall have no right to use, other than for purposes of testing and training, any component of the Software until it has paid for each such component in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement. 4.4 Fees and Limitations on Use 4.4.1 In consideration for Essentus undertaking to perform the services contemplated hereby, Licensee shall pay the fees and amounts at the times set forth in Exhibit 4.4.1 hereto. 4.4.2 All amounts owed under this Agreement shall be due and payable within thirty (30) days of the date of Essentus's invoice. Overdue payments shall bear interest at the lesser of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month, or the maximum rate allowed under applicable law. 4.4.3 Essentus reserves the right to include means within the Software to limit Licensee's use of the Software to the Licensed number of simultaneous users. Licensee shall maintain records regarding Licensee's use of the Software and shall make such information available to Essentus upon request and such records shall be subject to audit by Essentus on reasonable notice to Licensee. 4.5 License Exclusions 4.5.1 Except as expressly authorized herein, Licensee shall not: 4.5.1.1 reverse compile, reverse assemble, disassemble, translate or otherwise reverse engineer all or any portion of the Software; 4.5.1.2 disclose the results of Software performance benchmarks to any third party without Essentus's prior written consent; 4.5.1.3 use or permit the use of the Software by more than the maximum number of simultaneous users in respect of which Licensee is paying License fees. 5. GENERAL 5.1 Implementation 5.1.1 The successful implementation of a data processing system requires discipline within Licensee's organization. Turnover of key staff prior to and during the initial installation may cause the transition period from the old to the new system to be more difficult and costly. It could also result in additional fees should it become necessary for Essentus to familiarize the new individuals with the system. 5.2 Parallel Run 5.2.1 The installation of a new data processing system requires that for each new application being implemented, the old system be run in parallel until such time that Licensee's management is satisfied with the accuracy of the new system. It is the responsibility of Licensee's management to satisfy itself that the Software is satisfactory and suitable for its business purposes before the Software is run in a live environment. Licensee acknowledges that the period during which the parallel runs take place creates an extra work load on Licensee's staff and could result in overtime and extra staff costs. 5.3 Internal Controls 5.3.1 It is Licensee's responsibility to exercise all the internal control procedures required in a computer environment. Internal control procedures must be exercised over such areas as computer input, computer output, segregation of duties, approval, etc. Licensee acknowledges that internal control cannot totally eliminate the possibility of fraud or embezzlement. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 2 of 10 34 5.4 Substitutions and Modifications 5.4.1 Essentus reserves the right to make substitutions and modifications to the Software that do not materially adversely affect the performance of the Software. 5.5 Taxes 5.5.1 Licensee shall pay or reimburse Essentus upon demand for any and all applicable state, federal, and/or local taxes howsoever designated arising from or based upon the fees charged by Essentus including any sales and/or use tax, value added tax, property tax, (excluding only taxes based on Essentus's taxable income) and related interest and penalties, if any, imposed by any taxing authority at any time. 5.6 Confidentiality 5.6.1 Essentus and Licensee agree to treat and to cause Essentus Employees and auditors and Licensee's Employees and auditors respectively to treat as confidential any and all information which they may communicate to one another from time to time during the term of this Agreement regarding the conduct of their respective businesses including but not limited to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and any Addendum, Amendment, Exhibit, Schedule and documentation thereto and each of Essentus and Licensee undertakes not to use for itself or disclose any such information to any other person, firm or corporation. 5.7 Essentus Employees 5.7.1 Licensee agrees not to hire, directly or indirectly, any Essentus Employees during the term of this Services Agreement or for a period of one year after the last work is completed under this Agreement. If Licensee does employ, either directly or indirectly any such individual, then in order to compensate Essentus for the costs of training and acquiring such personnel, Licensee agrees to pay to Essentus a fee equivalent to one year compensation of the Essentus Employees so hired. Such sum will be by way of liquidated damages and shall be due and payable upon the termination of such person's employment or service with Essentus. 5.8 Binding Effect 5.8.1 This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall enure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective heirs, representatives, successors, executors, administrators and permitted assigns. 6. WARRANTIES AND LIMITATIONS OF ESSENTUS LIABILITY 6.1 Specific Warranties and Limitation of Warranties 6.1.1 EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 6, ESSENTUS MAKES NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. THE FOLLOWING WARRANTIES ARE IN LIEU OF THOSE ARISING BY STATUTE OR OTHERWISE IN LAW OR FROM A COURSE OF DEALING OR USAGE OF TRADE. 6.1.2 Essentus cannot guarantee a specific result, an error free system or a specific cost saving. Essentus does not warrant that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted or error free or that all software errors will be corrected. Licensee agrees to assume these risks as to the result including the responsibility for testing and implementing the Software. 6.1.3 In the event that during the Warranty Period any Modified Software errors shall appear, provided such program errors are a deficiency of the Modified Software to perform materially in accordance with the Modified Software Specifications, Essentus will use commercially reasonable efforts to correct any such deficiencies in the Modified Software. 6.1.4 Essentus does not warrant the Software against faulty performance due to operator errors, power failures, file overflows, equipment malfunctions, failure of operating systems, failure of compilers or interpreters, failure of utilities or of software not authored (written) by Essentus or any other causes beyond the reasonable control of Essentus. Licensee shall pay Essentus's standard rates for services performed by Essentus to correct such data and/or program defects. - -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Page 3 of 10 35 6.1.5 The responsibility of Essentus under this Agreement shall be limited to commercially reasonable efforts to correct defects in the Modified Software if informed of defects by Licensee during the Warranty Period. Any claim by Licensee that a defect exists in the Modified Software shall not excuse Licensee from the performance of its obligations under this Agreement. 6.1.6 ESSENTUS DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL LIABILITY FOR INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES INCLUDING LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR USE INCURRED BY LICENSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE PROVIDED TO LICENSEE WHETHER IN AN ACTION FOUNDED IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF THE OTHER PARTY OR ANY OTHER PERSON HAS ADVISED ESSENTUS OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. ESSENTUS'S LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES HEREUNDER FOR ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS RECEIVED FROM LICENSEE WITH RESPECT TO THE PARTICULAR SOFTWARE MODULE WHICH GIVES RISE TO THE LIABILITY OR IN THE AGGREGATE, THE AMOUNTS RECEIVED BY ESSENTUS FOR THE MODIFIED SOFTWARE. THE FEES PROVIDED FOR THIS AGREEMENT REFLECT THE ALLOCATION OF RISKS AND THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY SPECIFIED HEREIN WHICH BOTH PARTIES HEREBY AGREE TO. 6.1.7 If Licensee without the consent of Essentus makes any modifications to the Software or any deviations from the operating instructions, all warranties set forth herein cease immediately. In addition, Essentus's support as contracted for separately shall only apply to unaltered or original Software as may be modified or altered only by Essentus. 6.1.8 Essentus warrants that it is the owner of the Software and has the right to License the Software to Licensee (subject to the rights of Third Party Software suppliers). Licensee shall give Essentus prompt notice of any claims that the Software infringes any patent, copyright or trade secret ("Infringement Claim"). If so notified, Essentus shall, at its expense, defend any action brought against Licensee to the extent that it is based on an Infringement Claim arising from Licensee's use of the Software within the scope of this Agreement. In the event that the Software becomes, or in Essentus's opinion is likely to become, the subject of an Infringement Claim, Essentus may either 6.1.8.1 procure for Licensee the right to continue using the Software free from any such claims; 6.1.8.2 replace or modify the Software to make the Software non-infringing, or 6.1.8.3 if neither 6.1.8.1 or 6.1.8.2 is commercially reasonably available to Essentus, require Licensee to discontinue using the infringing Software upon thirty (30) days written notice provided Essentus refunds to Licensee the then present value of all amounts paid by Licensee with respect to the infringing Software, as amortized over a forty-eight (48) month life. If the Infringement Claim relates only to Third Party Software not licensed through Essentus, Essentus shall have no liability whatever as regards such Third Party Software. The foregoing states Essentus's entire liability with respect to any Infringement Claim. 6.1.9 Essentus does not represent or warrant that: 6.1.9.1 The Essentus Software remedies Year 2000 compliance issues that may otherwise affect Licensee's computer or information systems; or 6.1.9.2 The services described in the Agreement can be provided in time to resolve or remedy Year 2000 compliance issues that may currently be affecting some of Licensee's computer or information systems. Licensee assumes this risk associated with 6.1.9.1 and 6.1.9.2 above and full responsibility for ensuring that an alternative plan is in place in the event that the Essentus Software is not functional on Licensee's system in time for potential Year 2000 related issues. 7.
