4. Software. All software (including firmware) furnished to Buyer is on a licensed basis. Seller grants to Buyer a non-transferable and non-exclusive license to use each software or firmware program delivered hereunder (`Licensed Program’ ).

Such license may not be assigned, sublicensed or otherwise transferred by Buyer without prior written consent of Seller, except that, regarding any Licensed Program embodied in a Product, the transfer of such Product shall convey to Buyer’s transferee a license to use such Licensed Program under terms commensurate with the License set forth in this Agreement.

In addition to Seller’s obligation to defend, Seller shall pay all damages and costs (except consequential damages) awarded therein against Buyer.

Buyer agrees that the foregoing indemnification shall not apply and moreover, shall be extended to Seller for any claim of U.S. patent infringement which may be brought against Seller because of compliance with Buyer’s particular design requirements, specifications or instructions. Buyer grants to Seller the benefit of any license to Buyer under any patent which may be the subject of an infringement allegation hereunder to the extent permitted by said license: Seller shall have no liability to Buyer under this paragraph if any Infringement Claim is based, upon the (i) use, of Products delivered hereunder in connection or in combination with equipment, devices or software not delivered by Seller, or (ii) use of Products delivered hereunder in a manner for which the same were not designed, or (iii) modification by Buyer of Products delivered hereunder to the extent such modification is the cause of the claim or suit.

15. Miscellaneous.: The Section headings used herein are for descriptive purposes only and shall not be used in construing the provisions of this agreement.
16. Retail Pricing Guidelines: Due to the complexity and technical construction of the product, WORTH DATA products must be sold by a full service reseller, developer or dealer that can install and service our products with full support and service. To ensure that WORTH DATA resellers and developers will be able to afford to maintain full service facilities for installation and service, WORTH DATA believes that the minimum advertised pricing (MAP) should be maintained. To encourage WORTH DATA retailers, resellers, and developers to develop demand through advertising and other marketing initiatives as a premium product, WORTH DATA requires that all advertisements (including on-line auctions) for its products that include any reference to a retail price be confined to the MAP prices listed on the Worth Data website. WORTH DATA expects that the MAP will be followed to efficiently maintain the reseller and support network that WORTH DATA believes is necessary for the proper marketing and servicing of its products. WORTH DATA may unilaterally terminate any distributor, reseller, retailer, or sales to any party that WORTH DATA believes does not support WORTH DATA’s marketing and sales guidelines. Any such terminations may be without prior notice and/or warning.
