Except as expressly set for forth in Schedule A, licensed Software shall only be used on equipment at an Authorized Site which is under the direct control of the Licensee and the Licensee shall only permit its employees, contractors, agents, and consultants to either directly or indirectly operate the Software, unless otherwise approved by Partek in writing.

    2. Licensee shall only use the Software for its own business which is conducted with, on behalf of, or in connection with Licensee, and in no event shall Licensee use or permit the use of the Software, Documentation, Information, and/or any data or information derived therefrom, for any other purpose, or on behalf of any service bureau, timesharing service, third parties, or other entities.

    3.

    7. Licensee shall not attempt to register any copyrights, register any trademarks or service marks, or apply for any patent or other intellectual property protection for the Software, Documentation and/or Information, any segments or portions thereof, or any marks, logos, names, decals or imprints associated therewith.

    8. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that any violation of any term, condition or provision of this Section 3 may cause Partek irreparable harm for which there would be no adequate remedy at law, and that Partek may be entitled to temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief against any such violation. Such injunctive relief shall be in addition to, and in no way shall limit, any other rights or remedies which Partek may have at law or in equity including, but not limited to, damages.

    9. In the event Licensee fails to comply with any of the terms or condition of this Section 3, and does not cure such non-compliance (if curable) within thirty (30) days after Licensee's receipt of written notice of such non-compliance, then Partek shall have the right to immediately terminate this Agreement and the License granted herein. The terms and provisions of this Section 3 shall survive the termination and/or expiration of this Agreement for any reason. In the event this Agreement expires and/or is terminated, Licensee shall immediately cease any and all use of the Software, Documentation, and Information, and shall promptly return (or destroy upon the written request of Partek) all such material, including, but not limited to, all Software, Documentation, Information, and back-up and archival copies of the Software, Documentation and Information to Partek.

    10.
