1. LICENSE RESTRICTIONS
Except as expressly provided in this Agreement or as otherwise authorized in
writing by GTK, Customer has no right to (1) use, print, copy, display, reverse
assemble, reverse engineer, or decompile the Licensed Software in whole or in
part; (2) disclose, publish, release, sublicense, or transfer to another person
any Licensed Software; (3) reproduce the Licensed Software for the use or
benefit of anyone other than Customer; or (4) modify any Licensed Software. All
rights to the Licensed Software not expressly granted to Customer hereunder are
retained by GTK. All copyrights and other proprietary rights except as expressed
elsewhere in the Licensed Software and legal title thereto shall remain in GTK.
Customer may have installed Licensed Software at only one workstation at
customer's site at any given time. Customer may not transmit the software
electronically to any other workstation, computer, or terminal device whether
via a local area network, telecommunications transmission, or other means
without prior written permission by GTK.
As an alternate to Section 1, you may install a copy of the Software on a
network storage device, such as a server computer, and allow one access device,
such as a personal computer, to access and use that licensed copy of the
Software over a private network. You must obtain a license to the Software for
each additional device that accesses and uses the Software installed on the
network storage device.
You may use remote access technologies, such as Remote Desktop, PC Anywhere,
Terminal Server, to access and use the licensed copy of the Software, provided
that only the primary user of the device hosting the remote session accesses and
uses the Software with a remote access device. These remote access rights do not
permit you to use the Software on both the device hosting the remote session and
the access device at the same time.
2. TERM AND TERMINATION
This Agreement shall be in effect from the date Customer accesses software until
terminated by Customer, by PTI on behalf of Customer or GTK, or by GTK as set
forth herein. This Agreement may be terminated by GTK without cause upon 30 days
written notice, or immediately upon notice to Customer if Customer breaches this
Agreement or fails to comply with any of its terms or conditions.
3. BACKUP AND REPLACEMENT COPIES
Customer shall be permitted to make one back-up copy, provided GTK's copyright
notice and Software License Agreement is included in the copy.
4. PROTECTION AND SECURITY OF LICENSED SOFTWARE
(a) Customer will not provide or otherwise make available any Licensed Software
in any form to any person other than employees of Customer with the need to
know, without GTK's written permission.
(b) All Licensed Software in Customer's possession including, without
limitation, translations, compilations, back-up, and partial copies is the
property of GTK. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, for any
reason, Customer shall immediately destroy any Licensed Software, including all
media and reference manuals, and destroy any Licensed Software that has been
copied onto hard disks. Upon request, Customer shall certify its compliance in
writing with the foregoing to GTK.
(c) Customer shall take appropriate action, by instruction, agreement, or
otherwise, with any persons permitted access to the Licensed Software, to enable
Customer to satisfy its obligations under this Agreement with respect to use,
copying, protection, and security of Licensed Software.
(d) If GTK prevails in an action against Customer for breach of the provisions
of this paragraph, Customer shall pay the reasonable attorney's fees, costs, and
expenses incurred by GTK in connection with such action in addition to any final
judgment of damages.
5. CUSTOMER'S RESPONSIBILITY
The essential purpose of this Agreement is to provide Customer with use rights
for Licensed Software. Customer accepts full responsibility for (1) selection of
adequate and appropriate Licensed Software to satisfy Customer's business needs
and achieve Customer's intended results; (2) use, set-up, or installation of the
Licensed Software; (3) all results obtained from the Licensed Software; and (4)
selection, use of, and results obtained from any other software, programming
equipment, or services used with the Licensed Software.
6. LIMITED WARRANTIES
GTK warranties that (a) GTK has title to the Licensed Software and/or the right
to grant Customer the rights granted hereunder; (b) the Licensed Software
provided hereunder is GTK's most current version thereof; (c) the copies of the
Licensed Software provided hereunder are accurate reproductions of the originals
from which they were made; and (d) the Licensed Software does not infringe any
current United States patents or copyrights or any other right of any third
parties.
7. INFRINGEMENT
GTK will defend Customer against a claim that Licensed Software furnished and
used within the scope of the license granted hereunder infringes an existing
U.S. patent, copyright, trade secret, or other property right, and GTK will pay
resulting costs, damages, and attorney's fees finally awarded subject to the
limitation of liability set forth in the paragraph entitled "Limitation of
Remedy", provided that:
(a) Customer promptly notifies GTK in writing of the claim.
(b) GTK has sole control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations.
However, if the costs and damages attributable to a claim of infringement of a
U.S. patent or copyright may exceed such limitation of liability, Customer may
elect to defend against the claim provided that GTK may fully participate in the
defense and/or agrees to any settlement to such claim.
(c) If such claim has occurred, or in GTK's opinion is likely to occur, Customer
agrees to permit GTK at its option and expense either to procure for Customer
the right to continue using the Licensed Software or to replace or modify the
same so that they become non-infringing. If neither of the foregoing
alternatives is reasonably available, Customer shall, on one month's written
notice from GTK, return the original and all copies of the Licensed Software.
(d) GTK shall have no obligation to defend Customer or to pay costs, damages, or
attorney's fees for any claim based upon (1) use of other than a current
unaltered release of the Licensed Software or (2) the combination, operation, or
use of any Licensed Software furnished hereunder with any other software or data
if such infringement would have been avoided by the combination, operation or
use of the Licensed Software with other Software or data.
The foregoing states the entire obligation of GTK with respect to infringement
of patents or copyrights.
8. LIMITATION OF REMEDY
GTK's AND PTI's ENTIRE LIABILITY AND CUSTOMER'S EXCLUSIVE REMEDY FOR DAMAGES DUE
TO PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE OF ANY LICENSED SOFTWARE, ACTIONS BY GTK, PTI,
OR ANY OTHER CAUSE WHATSOEVER, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF ACTION, WHETHER IN
CONTRACT OR IN TORT, INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT PAID
TO GTK OR PTI.
NEITHER GTK NOR PTI IS AN INSURER WITH REGARD TO PERFORMANCE OF THE LICENSED
SOFTWARE. THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO,
THE LIMITED WARRANTIES, AND THE LIMITATION OF LIABILITY AND REMEDY, ARE A

SOFTWARE FROM GTK OR PTI, CUSTOMER AGREES TO ASSUME THE RISKS FOR (1) ALL
LIABILITIES DISCLAIMED BY GTK AND PTI ON THE FACE HEREOF; AND (2) ALL ACTUAL OR
ALLEGED DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF THE AMOUNT OF THE LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED
HEREUNDER. THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THE LIMITED REMEDY PROVIDED CUSTOMER
HEREUNDER IS TO ALLOCATE THE RISKS AS PROVIDED ABOVE.
9. CUSTOMER'S INDEMNITIES

all claims, demands, losses, costs, expenses, obligations, liabilities, damages,
recoveries, and deficiencies, including interest, penalties, and reasonable
attorney's fees, that arise out of or result from (1) any breach of this

under this Agreement is void.
(c) Customer acknowledges that the Licensed Software and other proprietary
information of GTK are unique and that in the event of any breach of this

entitled to enforce its rights hereunder by any action for damages and/or
injunctive or other equitable relief without the necessity of proving actual
damage.
(d) This Agreement shall be understood and interpreted according to law of the
State of Texas applicable to contracts entered into and performed entirely

hereinabove described shall be deemed sufficiently served or given at the time
of the mailing thereof.

parties to this Agreement shall be construed as cumulative and no one of them
exclusive of any others or of any other legal or equitable remedy that said
party or parties might otherwise have in the event of breach or default in the
terms hereof. The exercise of one right or remedy by a party or parties shall
not in any way impair its rights to any other right or remedy until all
obligations imposed on a party or parties have been fully performed.
(i) No waiver by Customer, GTK, or PTI of any breach, provision, or default by
the other shall be deemed a waiver of any other breach, provision, or default.
(j) The parties hereto, and each of them, agree that the terms of this Agreement
shall be given a neutral interpretation and any ambiguity or uncertainty herein
should not be construed against any party hereto.
(k) In the event that any of the provisions, or portions thereof, of this
Agreement are held to be unenforceable or invalid by any court or competent
