accompanying BIOVIA software product (the "BIOVIA Software") and the
related user manuals, handbooks and other materials relating to the
BIOVIA Software provided by BIOVIA ("Documentation").

1. License.

(a) Grant. Provided you have paid all applicable fees, BIOVIA hereby
grants to you, and you hereby accept, subject to the terms and conditions
set forth herein, a non-exclusive, non-transferable license, without the
right to sublicense, to (i) use the computer-executable object code of
the BIOVIA Software solely for your internal business purposes; and (ii)
use the Documentation in connection therewith. The BIOVIA Software may
be installed and used only from the server on which it was first
installed.

(b) Copying. You may, at your own expense, make a reasonable number of
copies of the BIOVIA Software and Documentation for archival and back-up
purposes only; provided that you include on each such copy all copyright
or other proprietary notices contained on such BIOVIA Software and
Documentation.

(c) Modification, etc. You may not modify or alter the BIOVIA
Software, create derivative works of the BIOVIA Software, decompile or
reverse engineer the BIOVIA Software (except through generally accepted
debugging practices), translate the BIOVIA Software or reduce the BIOVIA
Software by any other means to a human-perceivable form.
(d) Ownership. Title to, and ownership of, and all proprietary rights
in, the BIOVIA Software and Documentation and each copy thereof shall
remain at all times with BIOVIA or its third party licensors. You may
not (i) sell, transfer, lend or otherwise make available, or disclose to
third parties, the BIOVIA Software or Documentation, or (ii) remove or
alter any copyright or other proprietary notice contained therein.

2. Software Maintenance. BIOVIA shall make available to you Software


Maintenance with respect to the BIOVIA Software at BIOVIA's then standard
prices and on BIOVIA's standard terms and conditions as in effect from
time to time.

3. Limited Warranty. BIOVIA HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS


OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR NON-INFRINGEMENT.
Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, BIOVIA does not warrant
that the BIOVIA Software will meet your requirements or operate without
interruption or be error free.

4. Limitation of Liability.

(a) IN NO EVENT WILL BIOVIA BE LIABLE FOR SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL,


INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, RELIANCE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES INCLUDING, BUT NOT
LIMITED TO, LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF DATA OR LOSS OF USE DAMAGES, EVEN IF
BIOVIA HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SAME.

(b) YOU AGREE THAT THE MAXIMUM LIABILITY OF BIOVIA ARISING OUT OF OR IN
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT OR OTHERWISE,
SHALL NOT EXCEED THE ACTUAL LICENSE FEES RECEIVED BY BIOVIA FROM YOU FOR
THE IMMEDIATELY PRECEEDING TWELVE-MONTH PERIOD.

(c) You may not bring any suit or action against BIOVIA for any reason
whatsoever more than one year after the cause of action accrued.

5. Intellectual Property Infringement.

BIOVIA shall have no liability to you, and you shall defend and indemnify

combination of BIOVIA Software with any other software or hardware not
supported by BIOVIA, if such infringement would not have occurred but for
such use or combination, (ii) any modification of the BIOVIA Software by
anyone other than BIOVIA, (iii) the use of other than the current version

additional fees with notice that such version was being provided in order
to avoid an alleged or potential infringement, (iv) compliance by BIOVIA
with your designs or instructions, or (v) claims of infringement of
patents, copyrights or trade secrets of you or your affiliates.

(c) THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF BIOVIA WITH RESPECT TO
INFRINGEMENT OR ALLEGED INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADE

6. Confidentiality. "Confidential Information" shall mean confidential


and proprietary information concerning a party's business or technology
which is marked or labeled as such or, if disclosed orally or visually,
is identified in writing as such within 30 days after disclosure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, even if not so marked the BIOVIA Software
and Documentation shall constitute Confidential Information of BIOVIA.
The receiving party shall not disclose any Confidential Information of
the other party to any person or entity other than the receiving party’s
employees who are bound by written agreements to protect the
confidentiality thereof, shall use such information only for the purposes
contemplated hereby, and shall otherwise protect such information from
disclosure to others with the same degree of care accorded to its own
proprietary information (but in no event less than a reasonable degree of
care). This obligation shall not apply to Confidential Information which
(a) was known by the receiving party prior to its date of disclosure to
the receiving party, as evidenced by the prior written records of the
receiving party; or
(b) is disclosed to the receiving party without an obligation of
confidentiality by sources other than the disclosing party rightfully in
possession of the Confidential Information and having the right to
disclose the Confidential Information; or
(c) Becomes published or generally known to the public through no fault
or omission on the part of the receiving party; or
(d) Is required to be disclosed by the receiving party to comply with
law, provided that the receiving party provides to the other party prior
written notice of such disclosure and a reasonable opportunity to contest
such disclosure. Upon termination of the software license, each party
shall return all Confidential Information to the other. The obligation
of this Section shall survive the termination of this Agreement.

7. Records; Audit Rights. You shall maintain accurate and complete


records relating to your activities under this Agreement sufficient for
BIOVIA to determine your compliance with the provisions of the Agreement,
and shall retain such records for a period of three years after the
calendar year in which such activities related. BIOVIA shall have the
right (not more than once per calendar year), on its own or using an
independent auditor or agent, upon ten (10) days' prior written notice to
you, to inspect, during normal business hours, your records to verify
compliance by you with the terms of this Agreement. You agree to
co-operate with BIOVIA in any such inspection. All costs of such audit
shall be borne by BIOVIA; provided, however, that if any such audit
reveals that your use of the BIOVIA Software has materially exceeded that
permitted hereunder, the costs of such audit shall be borne by you.

8. Term and Termination.

(a) Term. This Agreement shall commence upon your receipt of the
BIOVIA Software and shall continue in effect until termination in
accordance with this Section.

notifying BIOVIA thereof; provided, however, that you shall not in any
event be entitled to any refund of license fees previously paid.
(c) By BIOVIA. BIOVIA shall have the right to terminate this
Agreement at any time upon notice to you in the event that you fail in
any material way to comply with any of your obligations under this
Agreement.

this Section 8 shall be in addition to any and all rights and remedies
available to a non-defaulting party at law or in equity upon any breach
of this Agreement by the other party.

9. Miscellaneous.

(a) Entire Agreement. Unless the parties have executed a "hard


copy" agreement for the license of the BIOVIA Software, this sets forth
the complete understanding of the parties with respect to the subject
matter hereof and supersedes all prior understandings and communications
relating thereto. No term or condition of your purchase order or other
document provided to BIOVIA which is different from, inconsistent with,
or in addition to the terms and conditions set forth herein will be
binding upon BIOVIA. To the extent that this document may constitute an
acceptance, this acceptance is expressly conditioned on your assent to
the terms and conditions set forth herein.

(b) Modification; Waiver. This Agreement may not be modified or


amended except pursuant to a written instrument signed by both parties.
The waiver by either party of a breach of any provision hereof shall not
be construed as a waiver of any succeeding breach of the same or any
other provision, nor shall any delay or omission on the part of such
party to avail itself of any right, power or privilege that it has or may
have hereunder operate as a waiver of any right, power or privilege.

(c) Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed


in accordance with the laws of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts as if
made in and performed entirely within Massachusetts. The parties
expressly reject any application to this Agreement of the United
Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods.

(d) Successors and Assigns. This Agreement is binding upon and insures
to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns, but you may assign or otherwise transfer this Agreement or your
rights and duties only with the prior written consent of BIOVIA.

(e) Severability. In the event that any provision contained herein


shall for any reason be held invalid, illegal or unenforceable in any
respect by a court of competent jurisdiction, to such extent such
provision shall be deemed null and void and severed from this Agreement,
and the remainder hereof shall remain in full force and effect.

(f) Headings. The headings of the sections of this Agreement are for
convenience of reference only and shall not be considered in construing
this Agreement.
