Appendix B

Teneros End User License Agreement

This End User License Agreement ("EULA") is between Teneros, Inc. ("Teneros") and the entity ("Licensee", “Customer” or "you") which has received the Teneros Application Continuity Appliances™ (the "Product"). This Agreement governs Licensee's operation of the Product. Teneros is willing to grant Licensee the following license to use the Teneros-proprietary software that is embedded or incorporated in the Product (the "Software") according to this Agreement only on the condition that Licensee accept all terms in this EULA.

1. License.

Subject to Licensee’s full compliance with all the terms and conditions of this EULA, Teneros grants Licensee a non-exclusive, non-transferable, non-sublicenseable license to use the Software in executable code only and solely as incorporated in the Product. The Software is licensed, not sold, to Licensee for use only under the terms of this EULA, and Teneros reserves all rights not expressly granted to Licensee.

2. Restrictions.

Licensee acknowledges that the internal structure, composition and organization of the Product and the Software constitute valuable trade secrets of Teneros. Accordingly, Licensee agrees not to: (a) modify, adapt, alter, translate, or create derivative works from the Product, or Software; (b) distribute, sublicense, lease, rent, loan, time share or otherwise transfer the Product or Software to any third party; (c) reverse engineer the Product, decompile, disassemble, or otherwise attempt to derive the source code for the Software or otherwise attempt to discover the internal structure, organization or composition of the Product, except to the extent such activity is permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this restriction. There are no implied licenses granted hereunder, and any right that is not expressly granted hereunder is reserved by Teneros.

3. Proprietary Rights.

As between Teneros and Licensee, title to the Product, Software and the documentation accompanying the Product (the "Documentation") shall remain solely with Teneros. Licensee must not remove, alter, or obscure in any way any proprietary rights notices (including copyright notices) of Teneros or its suppliers on or within the Product. Except as expressly set forth herein, no rights in or to the Product, the Software, including but not limited to any intellectual property rights or proprietary rights of Teneros or its suppliers, are granted hereunder. Licensee agrees to purchase and/or license (as applicable) any third party hardware and software products required in order to operate the Product. Some hardware and software products must be purchased and/or installed prior to installing the Product. By way of example, but not limitation, if Licensee has not purchased a Microsoft® Exchange license through Teneros or Teneros' authorized channel, then Licensee agrees to identify to Teneros the specific Microsoft® Exchange license(s) that Licensee will apply to the Product upon failover of Licensee's Microsoft® Exchange server, and Licensee agrees to comply with all license terms and conditions applicable to such license.

4. Termination.

This EULA will terminate immediately if Licensee breaches any of its terms or conditions. Upon such termination, Licensee agrees to promptly power off the Product, and destroy all Documentation and all copies thereof, and certify in writing that Licensee has done so. Except for the right to use the Software as expressly permitted hereunder, the terms of this EULA survive termination. Without limiting the foregoing, Teneros may exercise all available remedies if Licensee has breached this EULA, including obtaining immediate injunctive and other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual money damages.

5. Limited Software Warranty.

For a period of ninety (90) days from the date of tender of Product by Teneros from FOB point designated by Teneros (the "Software Warranty Period"), Teneros warrants that the Software, when used in accordance with the instructions in the Documentation, will perform substantially in accordance with its applicable specifications. This warranty covers only problems that Licensee reports and Teneros verifies during the Software Warranty Period. This warranty does not cover Software that has been misused, damaged, altered, neglected, or subjected to unauthorized repair or installation. Teneros will, at its own expense and as its sole and exclusive obligation and Licensee's sole and exclusive remedy for any breach of the foregoing warranty, use commercially reasonable efforts to repair or replace any nonconforming Software that Licensee reports in writing during the Software Warranty Period. Alternatively, if Teneros determines that it is unable to repair or replace such Software, Teneros will refund to Licensee the amount actually paid by Licensee to Teneros for the applicable Product. Any such repair or replacement provided to Licensee will not extend the original Software Warranty Period. This limited warranty only covers repairs at Teneros' designated facilities and does not include labor, transportation or other expenses to repair or reinstall warranted Products at a Licensee's premises.

6. Disclaimer.

THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN SECTION 5 ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED OR STATUTORY, REGARDING THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION, AND TENEROS, ITS SUPPLIERS AND LICENSORS HEREBY EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL SUCH WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, INTERFERENCE WITH LICENSEE'S QUIET ENJOYMENT, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT OF THIRD-PARTY RIGHTS. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, TENEROS SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES THAT THE SOFTWARE, TENEROS' EFFORTS, OR ANY SOFTWARE, HARDWARE OR SYSTEM WITH WHICH THE TENEROS SOFTWARE IS USED WILL MEET REQUIREMENTS, FULFILL ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSES OR NEEDS, OR THAT THE OPERATION OF THE TENEROS PRODUCT WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES THAT IT HAS RELIED ON NO WARRANTIES OTHER THAN THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES IN THESE TERMS AND CONDITIONS AND THAT NO WARRANTIES ARE MADE BY ANY OF TENEROS' SUPPLIERS. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES STATED IN THIS SECTION 5, THE SOFTWARE AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND WITH ALL FAULTS, AND THE ENTIRE RISK AS TO SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURACY, AND EFFORT IS WITH LICENSEE. LICENSEE ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT IT HAS NOT RELIED ON ANY ORAL OR WRITTEN INFORMATION OR ADVICE, WHETHER GIVEN BY TENEROS, ITS SUPPLIERS, DEALERS, DISTRIBUTORS, AGENTS OR EMPLOYEES.

7. Limitation of Liability.

REGARDLESS OF WHETHER ANY REMEDY SET FORTH HEREIN FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OR OTHERWISE, AND EXCEPT FOR BODILY INJURY, IN NO EVENT WILL TENEROS, OR ITS SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, OR SUPPLIERS BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA, COMPUTER FAILURE OR MALFUNCTION, INTERRUPTION OF BUSINESS, OR OTHER SPECIAL, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF THE USE OR INABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE OR ANY DATA SUPPLIED THEREWITH, OR UNDER ANY TORT, CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY OR OTHER LEGAL OR EQUITABLE THEORY, EVEN IF TENEROS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES ARE FORESEEABLE. IN NO EVENT SHALL TENEROS' LIABILITY EXCEED AN AMOUNT EQUAL TO THE PURCHASE PRICE OF THE PRODUCT PAID BY LICENSEE THAT IS THE SUBJECT OF A CLAIM. ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS EULA MUST BE BROUGHT WITHIN ONE (1) YEAR AFTER THE OCCURRENCE OF THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO SUCH CLAIM. SUPPLIERS WILL HAVE NO LIABILITY OF ANY KIND UNDER OR AS A RESULT OF THIS EULA.

8. Export.

Licensee agrees and certifies that neither the Product, nor the Software, nor any technical data received from Teneros, will be exported outside the United States except as authorized and as permitted by the laws and regulations of the United States. If the Product has been rightfully obtained by Licensee outside the United States, Licensee agree that Licensee will not re-export the Product nor any technical data received from Teneros, except as permitted by the laws and regulations of the United States and the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction in which you obtained the Software. Licensee agrees to comply fully with all laws and regulations of the United States and other countries to assure that neither the Product nor the Software is exported, directly or indirectly, in violation of any applicable export control laws or used for any purposes prohibited by such export control laws.

Licensee’s obligations under this paragraph will survive the expiration or termination of this EULA.

9. High Risk Uses.

11. Governing Law and Venue.

This EULA shall be governed by the laws of the State of California without regard to conflicts of law principles that would require the application of the laws of another jurisdiction. Performance of this EULA will be deemed to be made in California. Any action or proceeding arising from or relating to this EULA must be brought in a federal court in the Northern District of California or in state court in Santa Clara County, California, and each party irrevocably submits to the jurisdiction and venue of any such court in any such action or proceeding. THE PROVISIONS OF THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON CONTRACTS FOR THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS AND THE UNIFORM COMPUTER INFORMATION TRANSACTIONS ACT SHALL NOT APPLY TO THIS EULA.

12. Data Collection. 

In the process of providing Teneros’ standard technical support for the Product, Teneros may collect certain information regarding Licensee’s computing environment, which may include information regarding the Exchange server and/or Active Directory server. This information is generally used for troubleshooting purposes; however, Teneros may from time to time use such information for product marketing purposes. Licensee agrees that Teneros has permission to collect the information remotely in the troubleshooting process or in response to an alert received from the Product, and to use such information for the purposes described. For the avoidance of doubt, such information will not include any content of email messages transmitted within Licensee’s computing environment. Any information obtained by Teneros through this process will be maintained under conditions of strict confidentiality. Licensee should immediately notify Teneros in the event that Licensee does not wish to grant (or wishes to revoke) the permission granted in this section; provided, however, that Licensee acknowledges that either not granting or revoking such permission will impair Teneros’ ability to fully support the Product.

13. General.

Licensee may not assign or transfer Licensee’s rights or delegate Licensee’s obligations under this EULA without Teneros' prior written approval. Teneros may freely assign and transfer this EULA or any of its rights or obligations hereunder. Any attempted assignment or transfer in derogation of the foregoing shall be null and void. Teneros does not waive any of its rights under this license by delaying to exercise its right, or exercising only part of its rights at any time. If a court of competent jurisdiction rules that a provision of this license is unenforceable, that provision will be limited so that the rest of the license remains enforceable. This EULA is the complete and exclusive statement of the EULA between Teneros and Licensee relating to the licenses granted hereunder. This EULA supersedes any proposal or prior EULA, oral or written, and any other communications between Teneros and Licensee in relation to the subject matter hereof. This EULA shall not be modified except in writing. Teneros' suppliers, including but not limited to Sophos Plc, SupportSoft, Inc., and Microsoft® Corporation are express third party beneficiaries of this EULA, with the right to enforce the terms hereof relating to each supplier's intellectual property rights, directly against Licensee.
