compiled by Licensee if it has obtained a source code license) indicated in Section 2.2 of the
Software License Agreement solely as incorporated in the Licensee Products. Object code
versions compiled by Licensee from source code may be so redistributed if Licensee has
obtained Redistribution Rights and a license to use the source code version of the Licensed
Software hereunder. Licensee shall only redistribute the Licensed Software subject to an end
user license agreement containing terms and conditions that are at least as protective of
Licensor’s interests as the terms of the Agreement. IN NO CIRCUMSTANCES MAY SOURCE CODE
OR DOCUMENTATION BE REDISTRIBUTED BY LICENSEE.
2.3 Source Code. The license granted to Licensee hereunder is only to use the object code
version of the Licensed Software unless Section 2.3 of the Software License Agreement
indicates that Licensee has obtained a source code license. In that case, the source code version
may only be used by that number of individuals for which Licensee has purchased Single‐User
licenses for the source code as indicated in Section 2.3 of the Software License Agreement.
Object code compiled from Licensee’s use of the source code shall be subject to all of the
restrictions and limitations on Licensed Software hereunder.
2.4 Number of Single‐User Licenses. Unless Section 2.4 of the Software License Agreement

2.4 of the Software License Agreement and for which Licensee has paid Licensor license fees.
For each Single‐User license, one individual may install and use the Licensed Materials on an
unlimited number of computers provided that only that individual may use the Licensed
Software and only one copy of the Licensed Software is in use at any one time. A separate
license is required for each additional individual user. The restriction on the number of Single‐
User licenses does not restrict the number of copies of Licensed Software that may be
redistributed in accordance with Section 2.2 if Redistribution Rights are granted under the
Software License Agreement.

may not use the Licensed Software to provide services to third parties, including hosted

Upgrades to the Licensed Software generally publicly available during the Maintenance Term
identified in Section 2.7 of the Software License Agreement (including posting under some form
of public use license), and Licensee is current with the payment of all fees to Licensor, then

any Updates or Upgrades generally publicly available. “Updates” means any “bug” fixes or error

extent, Licensor makes them available to the public without such restrictions. Licensee further
agrees that all right, title and interest in and to the Licensed Software (and all intellectual
property rights embodied therein) or any modification or improvement thereof made by

business activities. If an audit reveals that Licensee has underpaid the total fees due for the
audited period by more than five percent (5%) or other material non‐compliance with the
Agreement, then Licensee shall pay Licensor's costs of conducting the audit, as well as any
underpaid amount within thirty (30) days of notice from Licensor.
