GENERAL TERMS

Term.  This Agreement becomes effective on the date You legally acquire the 
Software and will automatically terminate if You breach any of its terms.  
Verification. Licensor has the right to verify Your compliance with this 
Agreement. You agree to: (1)  Implement internal safeguards to prevent any 
unauthorized copying, distribution, installation, use of, or access to, the 
Software or Subscription Offerings; (2)  Keep records sufficient to certify 
Your compliance with this Agreement, and, upon request of Licensor, provide 
and certify metrics and/or reports based upon such records and account for 
both numbers of copies (by product and version) and network architectures as 
they may reasonably relate to Your licensing and deployment of the Software or 
Subscription Offerings; and  (3)  Allow a Licensor representative or an 
independent auditor ("Auditor") to inspect and audit Your (including any 
subsidiaries or affiliates or contractors with access), computers and records, 
during Your normal business hours, for compliance with the licensing terms for 
Licensor's software products and/or Subscription Offerings. Upon Licensor's 
and Auditor's presentation of their signed written confidentiality statement 
form to safeguard Your confidential information, You shall fully cooperate 
with such audit and provide any necessary assistance and access to records and 
computers. If an audit reveals that You have or at any time have had 
unlicensed installation, use of, or access to the Software or Subscription 
Offerings, You will, within 30 days, purchase sufficient licenses or 
Subscription Offerings to cover any shortfall without benefit of any otherwise 
applicable discount and subject to fees reflecting the duration of the 
shortfall. If a shortfall of 5% or more is found, You must reimburse Licensor 
for the costs incurred in the audit.

Software may not be transferred or assigned without the prior written approval

country of Your principal place of business are required to be applied to any 
such action of law the laws of that country shall apply.  The application of

modified only by a written agreement agreed to by You and an authorized 
representative of Licensor.  NO THIRD PARTY LICENSOR, DISTRIBUTOR, DEALER,

IN ADDITION TO, THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT.
Waiver.  No waiver of any right under this Agreement will be effective unless 
in writing, signed by a duly authorized representative of the party to be 
bound.  No waiver of any past or present right arising from any breach or 
failure to perform will be deemed to be a waiver of any future right arising 
under this Agreement.
Severability.  If any provision in this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable, 
that provision will be construed, limited, modified or, if necessary, severed, 
to the extent necessary, to eliminate its invalidity or unenforceability, and
