2. Software License
aLicense. In consideration of Licensee's full payment of the License fees and sub-
ject to the terms and conditions of this License, ADIC hereby grants to Licensee a
personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use and copy the Software. A
separate license is required for use of each Software program on each Designated
Computer.
bUse. Licensee is authorized hereby to use the Software on the Designated Com-
puter(s) only, or on backup equipment if the Designated Computer is inoperative
until such time as the Designated Computer is restored to operation and processing
on the back-up equipment is completed. This grant is specifically limited to use by
the Licensee for normal, customary internal data processing, and specifically
excludes Licensee's time-sharing or the rental of the Software or use of the Soft-
ware in the development or marketing of a competitive or compatible product. No
right to use, print, copy or display the Software or Documentation, in whole or in
part, is granted hereby except as expressly provided in this License.
cCopying. Licensee may make one (1) copy of the Software in a non-printed,
machine-readable form for archival and back-up purposes only. In order to protect
ADIC's trade secret and copyrights in the Software, Licensee agrees to reproduce
and incorporate Licensee's trade secret or copyright notice in any copy or partial
copy, and will maintain appropriate records of the location of such copy.
dTransfer Rights. The Software will be installed initially on Licensee's Designated
Computer(s) set forth in Exhibit A. Licensee may thereafter transfer the Software
to another one of its computers of the same machine architecture, provided that the
Software is installed on one (1) Designated Computer at a time, b) is covered
under a current maintenance support plan with ADIC, and c) provides ADIC with
written notice thirty (30) days prior to the transfer. If Licensee transfers the Soft-
ware to a machine of a different architecture, Licensee may be subject to a transfer
fee.
eUS Government Rights. If the Licensee is the United States government, Licensee
understands and agrees that ADIC Software and documentation are provided as
"Commercial Items" as defined at 48 CFR 2.101 and are being licensed to U.S.
Government end users consistent with 48 CFR 12.212.
3. Price and Payment

4. Software Ownership and Protection
aADIC's Warranty. ADIC warrants that it is the owner of the Software and all por-
tions thereof, except for any embedded third party software for which ADIC holds
a license that is not inconsistent with the license granted under this agreement, and
that it has the right to modify the Software and to grant this License for its use.
bTitle to Software. The Software and all copies thereof (except for any embedded
third party software) are proprietary to ADIC and title thereto remains in ADIC.
All applicable rights to patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets or other pro-
prietary rights in the Software and any modifications made at Licensee's request
are and will remain in ADIC.
cRestrictions. Licensee will not itself or permit others to:
i. sell, sublicense, transfer, publish, disclose, display, provide access via a net-
work or otherwise make or allow available the Software or any copy thereof, in
any form whatsoever, to others;
ii. remove, obscure, or alter any copyright, trade secret, trademark, patent or other
proprietary rights notice affixed to or displayed on the Software or Documenta-
tion or affixed to or printed on any of its factory packaging;
iii. modify, merge with other programs or translate any portion of the Software
into any other assembly or foreign language; and
iv. reverse-assemble, reverse-compile or attempt to derive a source code equiva-
lent of the Software.
dProtections. Licensee agrees to secure and protect the Software, the Documenta-
tion and copies thereof in a manner consistent with ADIC's rights therein and to
take appropriate action to satisfy its obligations in this Article by instruction or
agreement with its employees, agents, subcontractors or others who are permitted
access to the Software. All programs or copies developed by or for the Licensee in
violation of this License, including translations, compilations, partial copies with
modifications and up-dated works, are the property of ADIC.
eResponsibility. Licensee has sole responsibility for use of the program and any
information entered, used, or stored thereon. This responsibility includes protec-
tion of data from modification, destruction, or disclosure, and for the accuracy and
integrity of the results from improper use. ADIC assumes no responsibility for
Licensee's negligence or failure to protect data from modification, destruction, or
disclosure.

5. Installation
Licensee will, at its own expense, ensure that the installation site conforms to the
requirements of the Software and, at its own expense, prepare and maintain the envi-
ronmental conditions at the installation site in accordance with the requirements of the
relevant hardware manufacturer. ADIC will be responsible for reasonable support
during the initial installation process.
6. Use and Training
Licensee will limit the use of the Software to those individuals who have been
appropriately trained. ADIC will make training for the Software available to Licensee
pursuant to its standard training procedures. Unless otherwise mutually agreed, any
additional training will be provided at ADIC's Englewood, Colorado facility at ADIC's
then current rates.
7. Warranty and Warranty Servicing.
aWarranty. ADIC warrants that for a period of ninety (90) days from installation the
Software will conform to all substantial operational features in ADIC's current
published specifications and will be free of defects which substantially affect per-
formance of the Software. ADIC does not warrant that the Software will meet the
Licensee’s requirements or that the operation of the Software will be uninterrupted
or error free.
bCompatibility. It is the intent of ADIC to provide Software which is compatible
with the current releases of common computer operating systems, however, ADIC
does not warrant that the Software is compatible with the current releases of all
operating systems, nor that the Software, including any future Releases, will be
made compatible with new releases of the operating system within a specified
amount of time, or at all. At Licensee's request, ADIC will notify Licensee of the
version level of the operating system with which the current version of the Soft-
ware is intended to be compatible, and the version level of operating systems for
which a subsequent release of the Software is intended to be compatible.
cWarranty Servicing. The Licensee must notify ADIC in writing, within ninety
(90) days after installation of the Software of Licensee’s claim of any defect. If the
Software is found defective by ADIC, ADIC’s sole obligation under this warranty
is for ADIC, at its option, either to correct, in a manner consistent with ADIC's
regular support practices, any defect in the Software or to accept the return of the
Software. Where Software is returned for claims made during the warranty period,
Licensee will be provided a full refund for the Software and related products sold
under the same Purchase Agreement.

vii
Scalar DLC
dWarranty Exclusions. This warranty is made void if the Licensee or any other
third party makes any modifications to the Software. Licensee will pay ADIC for
corrections necessitated by difficulties or defects traceable to Licensee's errors or
system changes in accordance with ADIC's then current standard time and material
charges.
eWarranty Disclaimer. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS LIMITED WARRANTY
STATED ABOVE, ADIC MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR
IMPLIED, FOR THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING THE WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
fThird Party Warranties. No reseller or distributor of the Software who may have
participated in offering, demonstrating, promoting or delivering the Software sub-
ject to this License makes any warranty whatsoever. All limitations and exclusions
of warranty, disclaimers of warranty, limitations of damages and remedies are as
set forth hereinabove and the terms of all portions of this License apply to such
reseller or distributor to the full extent applicable to ADIC.
8. Maintenance
Maintenance, enhancements and Updates for the Software are not covered under
this License. If desired by the Licensee, such services must be provided for under sep-
arate agreement.
9. Infringement Indemnification
a ADIC will defend, indemnify, save, and hold Licensee harmless against claims,
demands, liability, damages, and judgments which are finally adjudicated, includ-
ing attorney's fees and court costs arising or resulting directly from any claim, suit
or litigation brought against Licensee based on infringement of any U. S. patent or
copyright by the Software (except that indemnification does not apply to any third
party software which may be embedded therein), provided, however, that such
indemnity is conditioned upon receipt by ADIC of prompt notification in writing
of such claim and that Licensee provides continuing information and reasonable
assistance for the defense and settlement of any claim. ADIC will retain attorneys,
as deemed necessary, and conduct the defense and settlement of such claim. ADIC
may, at its own expense and at its option, either (1) procure for Licensee the right
to continue using the Software, or (2) replace the same with non-infringing soft-
ware, or (3) modify the Software so that it becomes non-infringing provided such
modified intellectual property will reasonably meet Licensee's needs.
b Upon failure of (1), (2) or (3) above, despite the reasonable efforts of ADIC, Lic-
ensee may terminate this License only with respect to the Software adversely
affected by such action or claim. Upon such termination ADIC will promptly
refund to Licensee any License Fees paid and other payments made for the

viii
Scalar DLC
adversely affected Software. ADIC may deduct from the refund a fair market
value for usage, which will be a pro rata share of the License charge for the time
period used, assuming a three (3) year straight line depreciation with no salvage
value.
c Notwithstanding the foregoing ADIC has no liability if any such claim or suit is
based upon or arises out of: 1) alterations of the Software by Licensee or any third
party; 2) Licensee's failure to install updated Software provided by ADIC for
avoiding such infringement; 3) use of the Software in combination with apparatus
or software not furnished by ADIC; 4) use of the Software in a manner for which it
was neither designed nor contemplated; 5) third party software embedded in the
Software; 6) Software modified by ADIC for Licensee in accordance with Lic-
ensee's specifications or requests; or 7) a patent, trademark or copyright in which
Licensee or any of its affiliates or subsidiaries has a direct or indirect interest by
license or otherwise.
10. Term and Termination
aTerm. The term of this License is perpetual, unless terminated by ADIC as pro-
vided herein.
bTermination. This License commences on the Effective Date and will continue in
perpetuity unless Licensee fails to comply with any of the material conditions of
this License. ADIC may, after allowing Licensee a reasonable time to cure its
default, terminate this License upon written notice to the Licensee. Within thirty
(30) days after termination of this License, Licensee will certify, in writing, to
ADIC, that Licensee has discontinued the use of all Software; and either destroyed
or, at ADIC’s election, returned to ADIC the original and all copies of the Soft-
ware and Documentation in any form maintained by Licensee.
cTermination for Cause. A violation of any provision of Paragraph 3. above will be
deemed a material breach and the basis for immediate termination of this License.
dTermination upon Insolvency. This License may be terminated by ADIC if the
Licensee (i) terminates or indefinitely suspends its business; (ii) becomes subject
to any bankruptcy or insolvency proceeding under governmental statute; or (iii)
becomes insolvent or becomes subject to direct control by a trustee, receiver or
similar authority.
eRemedies upon Termination. If this License is terminated by ADIC, ADIC will
have the right to take immediate possession of the Software, Documentation, and
all copies wherever located, without demand or notice. Termination of this
License is in addition to and not in lieu of any equitable or legal remedies available
to ADIC.
