4. Grants of License

Customer shall reproduce and include copyright or other proprietary notices on any copies in substantially the same form as appears in or on the original copies provided to Customer.

The Program is licensed on a Per Human Being basis, with the maximum number of users permitted to use the server being that quantity specified in Attachment D.

6. Delivery Schedule
A. Scopr shall deliver or make available to Customer via electronic distribution the items to be furnished under Section 3 of this Agreement upon receipt from Customer of a bona fide purchase order or payment or combination thereof representing the full License Fee.
7. License and Software Support Fees
A. License Fees. The one-time License Fee is based on the total number of users the Program is configured to support, in accordance with the pricing schedule set forth in Attachment C. The License Fee covers Customer's installation, copying, and use of the Software.
B. Software Support Fees. The License Fee includes the Software Support Fee for the Initial Term of this Agreement.

In either case, the Support Fee portion of the additional License Fee will be pro-rated down so as to extend only to the anniversary of the Delivery Date.
D. Per Human Being Licensing. It is the intention of the parties that the License Fee is paid on a Per Human Being basis, as described in Sections 2(K) and 4(D) of this Agreement. The parties acknowledge that it is possible for one human to log onto two systems at a site, resulting in the appearance of two users, although the parties intend that Customer pay for only one license is such case.
8. Warranties and Indemnification
A. Scopr warrants that Scopr has the legal right to grant Customer the license as set out in this Agreement, and that the Software does not infringe any third-party intellectual property or other rights.
B. Scopr warrants that there are no pending or threatened lawsuits concerning any aspect of the Software and that the Software has not been published in such a way as to lose any of its copyright protection.
C. Scopr warrants that the Program is in substantial compliance with the Program specifications and descriptions referred to in Attachment A and the Documentation; provided, however, that Scopr shall not be liable under this warranty if Customer has failed to incorporate all upgrades provided to Customer by Scopr.

G. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, Scopr shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless Customer and its officers, directors, shareholders, employees, accountants, attorneys, agents, affiliates, subsidiaries, successors and assigns against any claim or threat of claim that the Software infringes any intellectual property right of any third party. Scopr shall pay the court costs, legal fees and litigation expenses as they are incurred, and any damages finally awarded or settlement agreed upon, resulting from any such claim or threat of claim, provided that Customer (i) promptly gives Scopr written notice of any such claim, (ii) gives Scopr full authority to defend any such claim, and (iii) provides Scopr with all information and assistance Scopr requests in connection with such defense.
H. If a temporary or permanent injunction is obtained against the use of any part of the Software for the reason that it infringes any third party's intellectual property rights, Scopr shall, at its option and expense, either (i) procure for Customer the right to continue to use the Software, or (ii) modify the Software so that it becomes non-infringing.

11. Arbitration and Mediation
A. With the exception of Section 13(E) below, if any dispute arises under the terms of this Agreement, the parties agree to select a mutually agreeable neutral third party to help them mediate it. If the mediation is unsuccessful, the parties agree that the dispute shall be decided by binding arbitration under the rules issued by the American Arbitration Association.

C. When an assignment or delegation is made pusuant to clause B above, Scopr will provide a License to the transferee upon receipt of copies of properly executed documents which effect such assignment or delegation.
13. General
A. Applicable Law. This Agreement shall be construed pursuant to substantive law of the State of Texas, excluding any choice of law rules.
B. Taxes. Scopr shall be entitled to collect from Customer, in addition to the other amounts payable under this Agreement, all local, state and federal excise, sales, use, personal property, gross receipts and similar taxes (excluding payroll taxes and taxes imposed on or measured by Scopr's net income) levied or imposed by reason of the transactions under this Agreement. Customer shall, upon demand, pay to Scopr an amount equal to any such tax(es) actually paid or required to be collected or paid by Scopr.
C. Public Reference. Customer consents to the public use of its name as a customer of Scopr, unless Customer notifies Scopr in writing that it withholds such consent.
D. Modification. This Agreement may not be modified or amended except by written notice which is signed by authorized representatives of each of the parties.
E. No Waiver. The failure of either party to exercise any right or the waiver by either party of any breach shall not prevent a subsequent exercise of such right or be deemed a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same of any other term of the Agreement.
F. Equitable Remedies. The parties recognize that money damages may not be an adequate remedy for any breach or of any obligation hereunder by Customer involving intellectual property or use of the Program beyond the scope of the license granted by this Agreement. The parties therefore agree that in addition to any other remedies available hereunder, by law or otherwise, Scopr and any third party from whom Scopr has licensed software or technology may be entitled to seek injunctive relief against any such continued breach by Customer of such obligations.
G. Exclusive Jurisdiction and Venue. Any cause or action arising out of or related to this Agreement, including an action to confirm or challenge an arbitration award, may only be brought in the courts of applicable jurisdiction in Texas at Collin County, and the parties hereby submit to the jurisdiction and venue of such courts.
H. Written Notice. Any written notice from one party to the other required by this Agreement shall be deemed made on the date of mailing if sent by certified mail or overnight courier and addressed to the address specified below. Written notice sent by any other means shall be deemed made on the date it is received by the party to whom it is directed. Notice sent by facsimile or by electronic mail shall not be deemed "written notice" as contemplated by this Agreement.
I. Entire Agreement. This Agreement, including its Attachments, constitutes the sole and entire agreement of the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes any prior oral or written promises or agreements. There are no promises, covenants or undertakings other than those expressly set forth in this Agreement.
J. No Election of Remedies. The pursuit by either party of any remedy to which it is entitled at any time shall not be deemed an election of remedies or waiver of the right to pursue any other remedies to which it may be entitled.
K. Independent Contractors. Nothing is this Agreement shall be deemed or construed by the parties or by any other entity to create an agency, partnership or joint venture between Customer and Scopr.
L. Severability. If any provision of this Agreement or any Attachment hereto is held invalid or otherwise unenforceable, the enforceability of the remaining provisions of this Agreement and the Attachments will not be impaired thereby.
M. Government Regulations. In the event of any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and any statute of the United States government, or any regulation of any agency of the United States government, the provisions of such statute or regulation shall take precedence.
N. Attachments. Attachments A, B, C, and D hereto are incorporated into and made part of this Agreement.

G. Customer is not entitled to receive any new software from Scopr which Scopr does not deem to be a part of the Program.
