For and in consideration of the mutual covenants contained in this Agreement and with the intent of being legally bound, HunterStone and you ("the parties") agree as follows:

2. You may use and display the Software for the number of users you have paid for. If you desire to use the Software for additional users, you must obtain an additional license for the copy(ies) of the Software to be used for each additional user.

You agree that if you acquire any replacement software, bug fixes, updates, upgrades, new releases or versions, other Software areas, or additional Software documentation from HunterStone in the future, that such software or materials shall be considered part of the Software and shall be subject to the terms and conditions herein.

This License is effective from the date on which you receive the Software, and shall continue in effect until terminated. You may terminate this Agreement with thirty (30) days written notice.

You are not required to delete the Software from backup tapes or disks you have made on a regular basis of your entire computer system provided that you will not access or use the Software encoded on such backups.

Beginning on the date of this Agreement, and as long as you have paid any applicable technical support fees ("Technical Support Fees"), HunterStone agrees: (a) to provide technical assistance in the installation, testing, and operation of the Software; (b) to maintain and support the Software such that it reasonably performs as specified in the documentation for the then current version of the Software; and (c) to provide whatever additional services are provided for under the applicable technical support services you have purchased. Such assistance shall be provided by telephone and email, or in any mutually agreed upon manner.

Such Software shall be examined by and disclosed only to your personnel and your authorized agents who may require such information in the course of their duties. Accordingly, you agree to hold all such Software in strictest confidence, not to reproduce any of the Software, not to use such information other than for the performance of the Software, and to cause any of your employees or subcontractors to whom such information is transmitted to be bound to the same obligation of confidentiality to which you are bound. In the event of any violation of this provision, HunterStone shall be entitled to preliminary and permanent injunctive relief as well as an equitable accounting of all profits or benefits arising out of such violation, which remedy shall be in addition to any other rights or remedies to which HunterStone may be entitled.

The requirement of confidential treatment shall not apply:

(a) to such Software and Software documentation that was in the public domain prior to your receipt of same hereunder, or has subsequently, through no fault of yours, become part of the public domain by publication or otherwise;

(b) to such Software and Software documentation that was rightfully in your possession prior to your receipt hereunder, and was not acquired directly or indirectly from HunterStone;

The HunterStone copyright notice appearing on your original copy of the Software must be placed on all copies of the Software that you make.

HunterStone agrees to defend, indemnify and hold you harmless from any loss, liability, claim, suit, action, cost, judgement, final judgement, expense, or damages (including reasonable attorney fees) resulting from the Software infringing the trade secrets, proprietary information, trademark, copyright, patent right, or confidential proprietary information of any third party. The foregoing indemnity obligations shall be contingent upon the following:

(a) You shall give prompt written notice to HunterStone of any claim, demand or action for which it is aware that indemnity is sought;

(b) Both parties shall fully cooperate in the defense or settlement of any such claim, demand or action. You have the right to representation by your own counsel at your own expense.

(c) The parties to the Agreement shall obtain the prior written agreement of the other party concerning any settlement or proposal of settlement; such agreement shall not be unreasonably withheld.

Should any portion of the Software or its intended use become, or in HunterStone's opinion be likely to become, the subject of a claim for infringement of a patent, copyright, or other proprietary right, HunterStone shall procure for you the right to continue using the Software or shall replace or modify the Software without degradation to functionality to make it non infringing. If neither of the foregoing solutions is reasonably available, HunterStone shall refund the Software License Fee you have paid for the infringing Software.

13. The Software is "commercial computer software" within the meaning of DFAR Section 227.7202 and FAR Section 12.212, as applicable.

14. This Agreement represents the entire, sole, and only agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the Software. Any prior agreements, commitments or representations expressed or implied in proposals and discussions between the parties shall not be construed to be a part of this Agreement unless contained herein. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of South Carolina, except that no conflict-of-laws provisions shall be invoked so as to use the laws of any other jurisdiction. The exclusive venue for all cases related to or arising out of this Agreement shall be the federal and state courts in Richland County, South Carolina, except that at the option of HunterStone an injunction proceeding may be brought in the state where you reside. If any of the provisions, or portions thereof, of this Agreement are invalid or unenforceable under the applicable statute or rule of law, the court shall reform this Agreement to include an enforceable term as close to the intent of the original term as possible or if such reformation is not possible the provision shall be struck and all other terms shall remain unchanged. If any legal action is brought by either party against the other party regarding the subject matter of this Agreement, the prevailing party shall be entitled to recover, in addition to any other relief, reasonable attorney's fees and expenses as may be awarded by the court, together with all costs to collect the same.

15. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, the validity, legality and enforceability of the remaining provisions shall in no way be affected or impaired.

16. The failure of either party at any time to require performance by the other of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect that party's right to enforce such provision, nor shall the waiver by either party of any breach of any provision of this Agreement be taken or held to be a waiver of any further breach of the same provision or any other provision.

17. Notwithstanding the expiration or termination of this Agreement, it is acknowledged and agreed that those rights and obligations which by their nature are intended to survive such expiration or earlier termination shall survive including, without limiting the foregoing, the following provisions: Paragraphs 5, 6, 7, 8, 11, and 12.
