WARRANTY DISCLAIMERS7.1 Disclaimers. THE SOFTWARE, SAMPLE DATA AND DOCUMENTATION ARE PROVIDED ON AN “AS IS” AND “WITH ALL FAULTS BASIS” AND TANA AND ITS SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ALL WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, SATISFACTORY QUALITY, ACCURACY, TITLE AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. TANA DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE SOFTWARE, SAMPLE DATA OR DOCUMENTATION WILL BE ERROR FREE. NO ORAL OR WRITTEN ADVICE OR INFORMATION PROVIDED BY TANA OR ANY OF ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR THIRD PARTY PROVIDERS SHALL CREATE A WARRANTY, AND LICENSEE IS NOT ENTITLED TO RELY ON ANY SUCH ADVICE OR INFORMATION. THIS DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES IS AN ESSENTIAL CONDITION OF THE AGREEMENT.8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY8.1 Limitation. IN NO EVENT SHALL TANA OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, DATA OR USE, INCURRED BY LICENSEE OR ANY THIRD PARTY, WHETHER IN AN ACTION IN CONTRACT, TORT, UNDER STATUTE, IN EQUITY, AT LAW, OR OTHERWISE, EVEN IF TANA OR ITS LICENSORS HAVE BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE AGGREGATE AND CUMULATIVE LIABILITY OF TANA AND ITS LICENSORS FOR DIRECT AND PROVEN DAMAGES HEREUNDER SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE AMOUNTS PAID TO TANA UNDER THIS AGREEMENT. 9. NONDISCLOSURE9.1 Nondisclosure. The Software, Sample Data and Documentation contain valuable trade secrets and are the confidential and proprietary information of TANA. Licensee agrees that it shall not disclose, provide or otherwise make available the Software, Sample Data or Documentation, or other proprietary or confidential information disclosed to Licensee by TANA hereunder (such Software, Sample Data, Documentation and other information collectively referred to as the “Confidential Information”), to any person other than authorized employees or agents of Licensee whose use of or access to the Confidential Information is necessary in connection with Licensee’s exercise of its rights granted under this Agreement. Licensee further agrees that it shall not use Confidential Information for any purpose other than in the performance of this Agreement. Licensee shall use all commercially reasonable precautions to protect the confidentiality of the Confidential Information, and shall secure from all employees, agents or contractors having access to the Confidential Information agreements, at least as protective of the Confidential Information as the provisions of this Section 9, to maintain such Information in confidence. Confidential Information shall not include information that Licensee can demonstrate: (a) was in Licensee’s possession without confidentiality restriction prior to disclosure hereunder, (b) is or has become generally available to the public through no act or omission of Licensee or (c) has been rightfully received by Licensee from a third party without restriction on use or disclosure. This Section 9.1 shall not be construed to prohibit disclosure of Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by law or valid order of a court or other governmental authority; provided, however, that Licensee shall first have given prompt written notice of such order to TANA and shall have taken reasonable steps to assist TANA in contesting such order or in otherwise protecting TANA’s rights prior to disclosure. In view of the difficulties of placing a monetary value on the Confidential Information, Licensee acknowledges that there would be no adequate remedy at law for breach of this Section 9.1; that such breach would cause irreparable harm to TANA; and that, therefore, TANA shall be entitled to a preliminary injunction without the necessity of posting any bond or undertaking in connection therewith to prevent any further breach of this Agreement or further unauthorized use of its Confidential Information. This remedy is separate from, and in addition to, whatever other remedies TANA may have under this Agreement, at law or in equity in the event of such breach. 10. GENERAL PROVISIONS 10.1 Assignment. 10.1.1. Licensee shall not assign, sell, lease, or otherwise transfer (whether by operation of law or otherwise) this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole or in part, without the prior written consent of TANA.

If any provision of this Agreement, or portion thereof, is held invalid by any law, rule, order or regulation of any government or by the final determination of any court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity shall not affect the enforceability of any of the other provisions of this Agreement, and such other provisions shall be interpreted so as to best accomplish the objectives of such invalid provision within the limits of applicable law or applicable court decision. 10.5 Waiver. No term or provision of this Agreement will be considered waived by either party, or breach excused by either party, unless such waiver or excuse is in writing signed on behalf of the party against whom such waiver or excuse is asserted. No failure or delay by either party in exercising any right, power or remedy under this Agreement shall operate as a waiver of such right, power or remedy. The waiver by either party of any breach or default under this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of any other or subsequent breach or default. 10.6 Publicity.
