EQUIPMENT & SOFTWARE PURCHASES (New, Refurbished, As Is)
1. Security Interest

3. Installation
It shall be Buyer's responsibility to prepare the installation site, in accordance with Coburn's instructions, timely with the delivery date confirmed by Coburn. After the equipment has arrived at Buyer's facility and is located in the area where the equipment is to be installed, Coburn will provide trained personnel to supervise installation of the equipment and perform tests to verify that the equipment is operating properly. Buyer shall furnish labor and equipment required to move the equipment into the installation site. In the event Coburn's installation personnel arrive at Buyer's facility on the mutually agreed date and the installation site is not ready, the extra costs incurred by Coburn for travel, labor and subsistence shall be payable by Buyer at Coburn's standard rates.
It shall be Buyer's responsibility to select and prepare the location for the installation, and to assure that the facility at the selected location is structurally capable of supporting the Coburn equipment, it being
understood that Coburn shall not be liable for injury to persons for damages of any type, including consequential and/or special damages, arising out of, or in connection with, environmental conditions and/or structural failure at Buyer's selected location and facility, even though Coburn may check the installation site for apparent proper environment and power.

The Licensed Programs may include material licensed to Coburn by others, and as to such material Coburn representations as to ownership, title, and proprietary interest are made on behalf of such others as well as Coburn. Designated Hardware includes one or more Coburn systems, as identified in the order, including all later system substitutes and enhancements.
B. Unless otherwise terminated by Coburn, the term of this License shall continue for as long as Licensee uses the Licensed Programs on the Designated Hardware.
C.1. Any Licensed Program which is provided by Coburn in human readable form, such as written or printed documents, shall not be copied, in whole or in part, by Licensee. Additional copies of printed materials may be obtained from Coburn at the charges then in effect. Any Licensed Program which is in machine readable form and not copy protected may be copied by Licensee, in whole or in part, for
Licensee's backup or archive purposes only. No more than one (1) such archive copy shall be in existence with respect to any Licensed Program at any time without prior written consent from Coburn. Licensee shall retain possession or control and maintain appropriate records of the number and location of all such copies of the Licensed Programs and make such records available to Coburn upon request.
C.2. The original and any copies of Licensed Programs, in whole or in part, which are made by Licensee, shall be the property of Coburn. This does not imply that Coburn owns the media on which the copies reside. Licensee shall ensure that Coburn's proprietary notice appears on all copies of the Licensed Program whether copied in whole or in part or in any modified form.
D.1. Licensee shall not provide or otherwise make available any Licensed Programs, including, but not limited to, flow charts, instruction manuals, logic diagrams and source codes, in any form, to any person other than Licensee's employees whose sole need and intention is to use such Licensed Programs in conjunction with Designated Hardware.

Licensee shall notify Coburn immediately if Licensee has knowledge that any unlicensed party possesses any portion of the Licensed Programs. If Coburn discloses to Licensee's employees any proprietary and/or confidential information, including, but not limited to, the materials comprising the Licensed Programs, Licensee shall require these personnel to agree not to disclose that proprietary and confidential information.
D.2. The obligations with respect to use and nondisclosure shall not apply to i) information which is or becomes publicly known through no fault of Licensee; ii) information learned by Licensee from a third
party entitled to disclose it; iii) information already known by Licensee before receipt from Coburn as evidenced in writing; or iv) information which Licensee can clearly and convincingly demonstrate to have been independently developed by an employee or consultant of Licensee who had no previous knowledge of information received from Coburn.

F. If Licensee neglects or fails to pay in full for the system or neglects or fails to perform or observe any of its obligations under the terms of this Computer Program License, or if any assignment shall be
made of its business for the benefit of creditors, or if a receiver, trustee in bankruptcy or a similar officer shall be appointed to take charge of all or part of its property, or if it is adjudged as bankrupt, or if Licensee shall attempt to transfer or assign this License to any third party whether or not together with the Designated Hardware, this License shall terminate automatically immediately. Within two (2) weeks after written notice of any such termination, Licensee shall return to Coburn the original and all copies, in whole or in part, including partial copies and modifications, of the Licensed Programs.
5. Patents, Copyrights and Rights to Technical Data
In that the equipment, systems, programs, and documentation (hardware and software) offered by Coburn have been developed solely by Coburn-supported research and development, or have been paid for by Coburn, and thus represent a substantial investment by Coburn in industrial and intellectual property, no sale hereunder is to be construed as the grant by Coburn to Buyer of an implied license to copy or reconstruct anything purchased hereunder falling within the scope of Coburn patents, copyrights, trade secrets, technical data, know-how, or other industrial and intellectual property, and Buyer agrees not to so copy or reconstruct without prior written approval from Coburn. Clauses contrary to this in any subsequent orders or purchase orders from Buyer are not accepted by and will not be acceptable to Coburn.
6. Premature Termination
Either party may, at its election, terminate this Purchase Agreement forthwith and/or cancel any unfilled part thereof by notice to the other party in the event that:
A. Either party shall become bankrupt or insolvent or enter into any arrangement or composition with its creditors or in the event a receiver is appointed to direct the business of either party or in the event
that either party shall sell or assign a majority of its assets or merge or consolidate with another firm, corporation or entity so that the resulting entity designated to purchase the system has a lesser net worth or diminished credit worthiness; or B. Either party has committed a material breach of any of the terms and conditions herein set forth on its part to be performed and such breaching party has not cured such breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of such breach. Nothing herein shall relieve Buyer of its continuing obligations pursuant to paragraph 2 hereof.

Coburn shall not be charged with liability for delays in transit caused by strikes, shortage of labor; tonnage or rolling stock, government regulations, restriction or prohibitions, and any extra expense occasioned thereby will be charged for.
