copy, reproduce, reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, decrypt
or otherwise derive source code from the SOFTWARE, any portion
thereof or accompanying documentation, or use it as a basis for the
preparation of other software programs or derivative works, or use it
in any manner that infringes the intellectual property or other
rights of QUARK or any other party, except as expressly permitted
hereunder or under applicable law. End User shall not use, integrate,
combine or otherwise exercise any license rights under this Agreement
in any manner that would render the SOFTWARE or any component
thereof Public Source Software. As used herein, Public Source
Software means any software that (in whole or in part) includes,
or is otherwise derived in any manner from, any software that is
distributed under conditions that include: (i) licensees of such
software are authorized to access, modify and make derivative works of
the source code for the software: (ii) licensees of source code of such
software are not obligated to maintain the confidentiality of such
source code; and (iii) licensees of such software are required, even

3. LICENSE ADMINISTRATION TECHNOLOGY:
This product may contain license administration technology (QLA).
End Users with multi-user Licenses must install QLA as required by
Quark. QLA is license administration technology which also allows
the End User with multiple licenses the convenience to exceed the
number of licenses which are legally licensed to End User (Purchased
Licenses) by a number which is specified by End User and agreed to
by Quark (Auxiliary Licenses); provided, however, that End User
pays the license fees which correspond to the number of Auxiliary
Licenses which End User utilizes. End User acknowledges that QLA

utilizes a secured communications link between End User and Quark,


via the Internet or technology which may hereinafter become available,
by virtue of which license files are made available to End User and
information concerning End User's usage may be transmitted to Quark.
End User may elect not to use Auxiliary Licenses in which case End
Users rights are limited to Purchased Licenses. Auxiliary Licenses may
not be available to all End Users. Use of Auxiliary Licenses is subject
to Quarks consent and sole discretion.
End User agrees that its use of Auxiliary Licenses shall be subject to
the terms of this License Agreement. Upon the request of End User
and with the consent of Quark, Auxiliary Licenses are made available
to End User on a temporary basis subject to payment of applicable
license fees and the terms of this License Agreement. Once payment
is received, Quark will make available to End User a new license file to
reflect the revised number of Purchased Licenses. End User agrees to
pay Quark for all Auxiliary Licenses which End User utilizes. Failure
to pay or other violations of this Agreement may result in suspension
or revocation, in Quark's sole discretion, with or without further
notice, of End User's ability to utilize current and future Auxiliary
Licenses, in addition to all other rights and remedies available to
Quark in law or equity. Auxiliary Licenses may contain technology
designed to render them inoperable after a certain period of time
without End Users use of a revised license file from Quark. The
inoperability of Auxiliary Licenses or the denial, suspension or
revocation of End Users ability to utilize Auxiliary Licenses does
not in itself affect End Users right to Purchased Licenses. Section 4
(regarding termination of this License Agreement) shall continue to
apply. End User agrees that Purchased Licenses, including Auxiliary
Licenses which become Purchased Licenses after the commencement
of this License Agreement, are subject to the terms of this License
Agreement. Quark assumes no liability arising from End Users use of
or inability to use QLA, Auxiliary Licenses, or license files. The use or
inability to use QLA, Auxiliary Licenses or license files is specifically
made subject to Sections 9 (regarding disclaimer of warranties) and 12
(regarding exclusion of damages/limitation of liability).
4. TERMINATION:
Any failure to comply with the terms and conditions of this License
Agreement shall result in automatic termination of this license. Upon
termination of this License Agreement for any reason, End User must
destroy all copies and cease use of the SOFTWARE and accompanying
documentation.
5. CONSOLIDATION OF LICENSES:
Consolidation of multiple single-user licenses, multiple multi-user
licenses, or a combination of both under one consolidated multi-user
license may be possible under certain circumstances and in Quarks
sole discretion. Consolidated license are subject to the restrictions on
multi-user licenses contained herein. If the serial number of any
single-user or multi-user SOFTWARE is covered by or merged into a
new consolidated license, then the right of End User to use that
single-user or multi-user Software under this License Agreement is
replaced, terminated, and superseded by the right of End User to use
the consolidated Software. End User then no longer has the right to
use any single-user or multi-user SOFTWARE having a serial number
covered by the consolidated license.
6. COMMUNICATION OF LICENSE AGREEMENT:
End User agrees to communicate the terms and restrictions contained
in this License Agreement to all persons under his or her employment,
