other media. Affiliates means any person, partnership, corporation, limited liability company, or other form of enterprise that
directly or indirectly through one or more intermediaries, controls, or is controlled by, or is under common control with the
party specified. BY INSTALLING THE ENCLOSED PRODUCT, YOU ARE AGREEING TO BECOME BOUND BY THE TERMS
OF THIS AGREEMENT, WHICH INCLUDES THE LICENSE AND THE LIMITATION OF WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMER
OF LIABILITY. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO THE TERMS OF THIS AGREEMENT, RETURN THE UNOPENED PRODUCT TO

Enterasys will grant You a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to use the machine-readable form of software (the Licensed
Software) and the accompanying documentation (the Licensed Software, the media embodying the Licensed Software, and the
documentation are collectively referred to in this Agreement as the Licensed Materials) on one single computer if You agree
to the following terms and conditions:
1. TERM. This Agreement is effective from the date on which You open the package containing the Licensed Materials. You
may terminate the Agreement at any time by destroying the Licensed Materials, together with all copies, modifications and
merged portions in any form. The Agreement and your license to use the Licensed Materials will also terminate if You fail to
comply with any term or condition herein.
2. GRANT OF SOFTWARE LICENSE. The license granted to You by Enterasys when You open this sealed package
authorizes You to use the Licensed Software on any one, single computer only, or any replacement for that computer, for internal
use only. A separate license, under a separate Software License Agreement, is required for any other computer on which You or
another individual or employee intend to use the Licensed Software. YOU MAY NOT USE, COPY, OR MODIFY THE LICENSED
MATERIALS, IN WHOLE OR IN PART, EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT.
3. RESTRICTION AGAINST COPYING OR MODIFYING LICENSED MATERIALS. Except as expressly permitted in this
Agreement, You may not copy or otherwise reproduce the Licensed Materials. In no event does the limited copying or
reproduction permitted under this Agreement include the right to decompile, disassemble, electronically transfer, or reverse
engineer the Licensed Software, or to translate the Licensed Software into another computer language.
The media embodying the Licensed Software may be copied by You, in whole or in part, into printed or machine readable
form, in sufficient numbers only for backup or archival purposes, or to replace a worn or defective copy. However, You agree
not to have more than two (2) copies of the Licensed Software in whole or in part, including the original media, in your
possession for said purposes without Enterasys prior written consent, and in no event shall You operate more than one copy of
the Licensed Software. You may not copy or reproduce the documentation. You agree to maintain appropriate records of the
location of the original media and all copies of the Licensed Software, in whole or in part, made by You. You may modify the
machine-readable form of the Licensed Software for (1) your own internal use or (2) to merge the Licensed Software into other
program material to form a modular work for your own use, provided that such work remains modular, but on termination of
this Agreement, You are required to completely remove the Licensed Software from any such modular work. Any portion of the
Licensed Software included in any such modular work shall be used only on a single computer for internal purposes and shall
remain subject to all the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
You agree to include any copyright or other proprietary notice set forth on the label of the media embodying the Licensed
Software on any copy of the Licensed Software in any form, in whole or in part, or on any modification of the Licensed Software
or any such modular work containing the Licensed Software or any part thereof.
vi
4. TITLE AND PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
(a) The Licensed Materials are copyrighted works and are the sole and exclusive property of Enterasys, any company or a
division thereof which Enterasys controls or is controlled by, or which may result from the merger or consolidation
with Enterasys (its Affiliates), and/or their suppliers. This Agreement conveys a limited right to operate the Licensed
Materials and shall not be construed to convey title to the Licensed Materials to You. There are no implied rights. You
shall not sell, lease, transfer, sublicense, dispose of, or otherwise make available the Licensed Materials or any portion
thereof, to any other party.
(b) You further acknowledge that in the event of a breach of this Agreement, Enterasys shall suffer severe and irreparable
damages for which monetary compensation alone will be inadequate. You therefore agree that in the event of a breach
of this Agreement, Enterasys shall be entitled to monetary damages and its reasonable attorneys fees and costs in
enforcing this Agreement, as well as injunctive relief to restrain such breach, in addition to any other remedies available
to Enterasys.

information may contain proprietary details and disclosures. All information and data so acquired by You or your employees or
agents under this Agreement or in contemplation hereof shall be and shall remain Enterasys exclusive property, and You shall
use your best efforts (which in any event shall not be less than the efforts You take to ensure the confidentiality of your own
proprietary and other confidential information) to keep, and have your employees and agents keep, any and all such information
and data confidential, and shall not copy, publish, or disclose it to others, without Enterasys prior written approval, and shall
return such information and data to Enterasys at its request. Nothing herein shall limit your use or dissemination of information
not actually derived from Enterasys or of information which has been or subsequently is made public by Enterasys, or a third
party having authority to do so.

limitation the object or source code (if provided) of the Licensed Software, to any party other than Enterasys or its employees,
except for purposes specifically related to your use of the Licensed Software on a single computer as expressly provided in this
Agreement, without the prior written consent of Enterasys. You agree to use your best efforts and take all reasonable steps to
safeguard the Licensed Materials to ensure that no unauthorized personnel shall have access thereto and that no unauthorized
copy, publication, disclosure, or distribution, in whole or in part, in any form shall be made, and You agree to notify Enterasys
of any unauthorized use thereof. You acknowledge that the Licensed Materials contain valuable confidential information and
trade secrets, and that unauthorized use, copying and/or disclosure thereof are harmful to Enterasys or its Affiliates and/or
its/their software suppliers.

You pursuant to the terms of an Enterasys Service and Maintenance Agreement, if Enterasys and You enter into such an
agreement. Except as specifically set forth in such agreement, Enterasys shall not be under any obligation to provide Software
Updates, modifications, or enhancements, or Software maintenance and support services to You.
7. DEFAULT AND TERMINATION. In the event that You shall fail to keep, observe, or perform any obligation under this
Agreement, including a failure to pay any sums due to Enterasys, or in the event that You become insolvent or seek protection,
voluntarily or involuntarily, under any bankruptcy law, Enterasys may, in addition to any other remedies it may have under
law, terminate the License and any other agreements between Enterasys and You.
(a) Immediately after any termination of the Agreement or if You have for any reason discontinued use of Software, You
shall return to Enterasys the original and any copies of the Licensed Materials and remove the Licensed Software from
any modular works made pursuant to Section 3, and certify in writing that through your best efforts and to the best of
your knowledge the original and all copies of the terminated or discontinued Licensed Materials have been returned
to Enterasys.

products to certain countries, unless a license to export the product is obtained from the U.S. Government or an exception
from obtaining such license may be relied upon by the exporting party.
If the Licensed Materials are exported from the United States pursuant to the License Exception CIV under the U.S. Export
Administration Regulations, You agree that You are a civil end user of the Licensed Materials and agree that You will use the
Licensed Materials for civil end uses only and not for military purposes.

IMPLIED, WITH RESPECT TO THE LICENSED MATERIALS, WHICH ARE LICENSED "AS IS". THE LIMITED WARRANTY

OR LOSS TO YOU OR ANY OTHER PARTY EXCEED THE LICENSE FEE YOU PAID FOR THE LICENSED MATERIALS.

limitation of incidental or consequential damages, so the above limitation and exclusion may not apply to You. This limited
warranty gives You specific legal rights, and You may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
