that with respect to any Authorized User which, prior to the Effective Date, is a party to an applicable Sublicense Agreement with Licensee, the terms of such Sublicense Agreement will be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 2.4
and that so long as Licensee maintains such Sublicense Agreement in effect and complies with those obligations pertaining to Authorized Users that are set forth in Sections 2.6, 2.7 and 8.5, it shall have fulfilled its obligation to
use commercially reasonable efforts to cause its Authorized Users to comply with the foregoing obligations. 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, without limitation of the foregoing, Licensee’s use of the Portal Software,
the Revised Portal Software and the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology shall be subject to Section 4.17 of the Purchase Agreement. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing sentence and the restrictions specified in Section 4.17 of the
Purchase Agreement shall not apply to the Authorized Users. 
  
 (c) The benefits and obligations of, and restrictions on, Licensee under this Agreement shall extend to, and the term “Licensee” shall include, the party that executes this Agreement as Licensee (the “Primary
Licensee”) and all Affiliates of the Primary Licensee in which Primary Licensee holds, directly or indirectly, a 50% or more ownership interest and the right to control such Affiliate, provided that (i) Licensee shall provide notice
to Licensor upon request of the identity and ownership of each such Affiliate, (ii) such benefits shall extend to any such subsidiary only so long as the Primary Licensee retains such ownership and control of such Affiliate, and (iii) the Primary
Licensee shall be liable to Licensor for any breach by any such Affiliate of any such obligation or restrictions. 
  
 (d) All rights not specifically granted under this Agreement by a Party are reserved by such Party. For the avoidance of doubt, (i) in no event shall
Licensee or any Authorized User have any right to receive or use any Enhancements prepared by or on behalf of Licensor and (ii) in no event shall Licensor have any right to receive or use any Enhancements prepared by or on behalf of Licensee, other
than the Section 2.1(e) Work Product.

 2.5 Copies. 
  
 (a) Licensee may maintain a limited number of backup copies of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology (it being understood that
such backup copies constitute Gr8Trade Licensed Technology hereunder), not to exceed the number reasonably required to permit Licensee’s exercise of its rights with respect to the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology (or any portion thereof) hereunder,
provided that such backup copies shall be used solely as backup copies in the event the original copies are lost or damaged so as to be reasonably unusable. Subject to Section 6.9, Licensee’s right to maintain back up copies with
respect to the Gr8Trade Additional Elements and the Gr8Trade Users’ Manual shall terminate upon the later of (i) the expiration of the Applicable Gr8Trade Sublicense Term or (ii) the expiration of the Transition Period. Licensee shall keep all
copies of the Source Code for any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology at Licensee’s offices or such other location as is mutually agreed by Licensor and Licensee in writing. 
  
 (b) Licensee may permit its Authorized Non-Licensee Users to copy the Portal Software and any Revised Portal Software
(including any Licensed Software in the foregoing), in Object Code form only, as reasonably required (i) to enable such Person to operate the Portal Software or Revised Portal Software or (ii) to the extent the license to the Portal Software or
Revised Portal Software permits the Authorized Non-Licensee Users to make a fixed number of copies for use thereof in accordance with the terms of the Authorized Non-Licensee User Sublicense Agreement, as may be reasonably necessary for archival
purposes (it being understood that all such copies shall be used solely in the event the original copies are damaged so as to be reasonably unusable) and for such other similar, customary purposes that are permitted by the Authorized Non-Licensee
User Sublicense Agreement, in each case in accordance with the terms of the Authorized Non-Licensee User Sublicense Agreement; provided, that such Authorized Non-Licensee User shall not be permitted to copy any portion of the Licensed
Software except to the extent such portion of the Licensed Software is embedded in the Portal Software or Revised Portal Software and as copied as part of an authorized copy of the Portal Software or the Revised Portal Software. Other than as
expressly set forth in this Agreement and in Section 4.17 of the Purchase Agreement, Licensee shall have no restrictions imposed by Licensor on the terms under which it may license or use the Portal Software or the Revised Portal Software
notwithstanding the inclusion of Licensed Software therein. 
  
 (c) Licensee (and, as applicable, its Authorized Licensee Employees and Authorized Licensee Contractors) shall be permitted to make a reasonable number of copies of the Licensed Technology as and to the extent reasonably necessary in
connection with the exercise of its (or their) rights under Section 2.1(a) and Section 2.1(e). 
  
 2.6 Security. Licensee shall distribute (or have distributed) to each Existing Gr8Trade Customer a unique user identification (“User
ID”) and a corresponding password and/or other access code (each, an “Access Code”) to provide commercially reasonably appropriate security for such Authorized User’s use of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology in
accordance with this Agreement and any applicable Sublicense Agreement. Licensee shall use 
  

 12 







 its commercially reasonable efforts to maintain the security of each such Existing Gr8Trade Customer’s User IDs and
Access Codes and to prevent Persons other than the Existing Gr8Trade Customers from using any of the Gr8Trade Additional Elements. 
  
 2.7 Certain Agreements Regarding Gr8Trade Licensed Technology. Licensee shall promptly notify Licensor regarding any breach of which it becomes
aware by any Authorized User of any provision of its Sublicense Agreement (if applicable) or this Agreement regarding use of any portion of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology, or the breach of which it becomes aware by any Person of any of its
confidentiality or non-use obligations under Article 6, and shall promptly take such action with respect to the same, including enforcement and/or termination of such agreement and obligations, as Licensor may reasonably request. Licensee may
not amend, modify or waive (including by issuing a Work Statement that conflicts with such requirements) any rights under any Sublicense Agreement in any manner that would cause such Sublicense Agreement to fail to meet the requirements of this
Agreement, or cause or permit any Authorized User to act in any manner contrary to, the requirements of this Agreement. 
  
 ARTICLE 3 
  
 DELIVERY; PERFORMANCE AND SUPPORT; OTHER AGREEMENTS 
  
 3.1 Delivery. Licensor shall not be required to deliver any Gr8Trade Licensed Technology to Licensee. In connection with the Sale, Licensee shall
deliver to Licensor all copies of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology in its possession or under its control, other than the copies as are authorized by Section 2.5 to be retained or made by Licensee or any Authorized Licensee Subcontractor,
Authorized Non-Licensee User or Existing Gr8Trade Customer. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that any existing copies of any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology retained by Licensee or any such other Person are suitable for Licensee’s or such
other Person’s purposes in such form. 
  
 3.2 Maintenance,
Support, Etc. As between Licensor and Licensee, Licensee is solely responsible for providing support to Authorized Users and instructing them on how to use the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology licensed to them. In no event shall Licensor have any
obligation to provide any maintenance, support, training, installation, customization, consulting or implementation services with respect to any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology, any upgrades, updates, new versions or releases with respect to any
of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology, or any other products, services, information or assistance with respect to any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology. In the event that Licensor, in its sole discretion, provides any products or services to
Licensee or any Authorized User with respect to any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology, Licensor’s rights and such Person’s obligations with respect to such products or services shall be governed by the terms hereof (including Article
8) unless the Parties otherwise agree in writing. In no event shall Licensee have any obligation to deliver or provide to Licensor any of the Portal Software or Revised Portal Software or any Enhancements that it may develop pursuant to
Section 2.1(a). In no event shall Licensee have any obligation under this Agreement to provide any maintenance, support, training, installation, customization, 
  

 13 







 consulting or implementation services with respect to any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology (provided that, for
purposes of clarification, nothing herein shall limit any such obligation that Licensee or any of its Affiliates may have under the Purchase Agreement). Licensee shall deliver to Licensor, promptly upon request or, in any event, prior to the
expiration of the Transition Period, any Section 2.1(e) Work Product. 
  
 ARTICLE 4 
  
 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY

  
 4.1 Title; Reservation of Rights. As between the
Parties, the Parties agree that Licensor is the owner of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, regardless of the media or form in which the same may exist and regardless of whether the same may have been
merged with or into any other work. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that Licensor is not, by this Agreement or otherwise, granting, transferring or conveying any title, ownership right or other right in any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology, or
in any Intellectual Property Rights with respect to any portion of either thereof except for the licenses specifically granted hereby. No such grant, transfer or conveyance shall be inferred or created by implication, and Licensee shall not have the
right to use any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology or any Intellectual Property Rights therein other than as expressly provided herein. All rights in or to any Gr8Trade Licensed Technology and any Intellectual Property Rights therein are expressly
reserved by Licensor, subject only to the licenses specifically granted hereunder. Without limiting the foregoing, nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed to grant to Licensee or any other Person any right or license to use any names, logos,
assumed names, Trademarks or proprietary designations of Licensor or any of its Affiliates. As between the Parties, the Parties agree that, subject to Licensor’s rights in the Licensed Technology, Licensee is and shall continue to be the owner
of the Portal Software, the Revised Portal Software and any Enhancements thereto (including any such Enhancements of any Licensed Technology comprised within Portal Software or Revised Portal Software made by or on behalf of Licensee pursuant to
this Agreement), and all Intellectual Property Rights with respect to all of the foregoing, regardless of the media or form in which the same may exist and regardless of whether the same may have been or be merged with or into any other work (the
“Licensee Property”). Licensor acknowledges and agrees that Licensee is not, by this Agreement or otherwise, granting, transferring or conveying any title, ownership right or other right in any of the Licensee Property and no such
grant, transfer or conveyance shall be inferred or created by implication, and Licensor shall not have any right to any of the Licensee Property. Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, Licensor agrees that as between the Parties, all right, title
and interest in and to any Section 2.1(e) Work Product, and all Intellectual Property Rights therein, shall be the exclusive property of Licensor. To the maximum extent that any of the Section 2.1(e) Work Product may be considered a “work made
for hire” for the benefit of Licensor under Applicable Law, it shall be considered a “work made for hire” for the benefit of Licensor, the copyright of which shall be solely, completely and exclusively by Licensor. To the extent that
any of the Section 2.1(e) Work Product is not considered a “work made for hire” for the benefit of Licensor under the Applicable Law, all worldwide right, title and interest that 
  

 14 







 Licensee may have in and to such Section 2.1(e) Work Product are hereby automatically and irrevocably assigned, conveyed
and otherwise transferred, completely and exclusively, to Licensor. Licensee agrees to execute and deliver such other documents as Licensor may reasonably request from time to time in order to effectuate the intent of the preceding three (3)
sentences. 
  
 4.2 Valuable Property. Licensee acknowledges
and agrees that the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology and any other Confidential Information of Licensor is the valuable property of Licensor, is protected under the copyright, trade secret and other laws of the United States and other Applicable Law,
and incorporates valuable trade secrets of Licensor. Licensee acknowledges and agrees that any violation by Licensee or any Authorized User or other Recipient of its confidentiality obligations or use restrictions under this Agreement or any
applicable Sublicense Agreement may cause Licensor immediate and irreparable injury which is not fully compensable by monetary damages and for which Licensor has no adequate remedy at law. Accordingly, Licensee agrees that if Licensor institutes an
action or proceeding to enforce any of such obligations or restrictions against Licensee, Licensor shall be entitled to seek injunctive or other equitable relief as may be necessary or appropriate to enjoin, prevent or curtail any such breach,
threatened or actual, without the need for the posting of any bond or other security. The foregoing rights shall be in addition to and without prejudice to any other rights Licensor may have under this Agreement or Applicable Law, whether at law or
in equity. 
  
 4.3 Notice of Adverse Claim. Licensee
promptly shall notify Licensor in writing of any threat, warning or Notice of any claim or action, or other situation or event, of which Licensee may become aware from time to time during the Term that is adverse to or that reasonably could be
expected to be adverse to any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology or any Intellectual Property Rights therein and, to the extent that Licensor so requests in writing, Licensee shall reasonably cooperate with Licensor in the investigation of the same
(provided that Licensor reimburses Licensee for its reasonable expenses (including employee time) in connection with the same). 
  
 4.4 No Inconsistent Action. To the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Licensee shall not take any action to challenge the ownership, validity or
enforceability of any of Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights in all or any portion of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology, provided that the foregoing shall not restrict Licensee in any way from asserting any defenses, claims or
counterclaims (including challenging the ownership, validity or enforceability of Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights) against Licensor in connection with any action, suit or proceeding that is based on Licensee’s use of the Gr8Trade
Licensed Technology and is brought by Licensor against Licensee after termination of this Agreement that seeks an award of monetary damages against Licensee. For the avoidance of doubt, the foregoing proviso shall not allow Licensee to assert any
such defenses, claims or counterclaims as a defense to Licensor’s right to terminate this Agreement (provided that the foregoing provision shall allow Licensee to assert any such defenses, claims or counterclaims as a defense to any
monetary damages sought in connection with such termination) or in any action for specific performance or injunctive relief. Without limiting the foregoing, Licensee agrees that at no time shall it take any action contrary with Licensor’s sole
ownership of all right, title and interest in the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology and any Intellectual Property Rights therein. 
  

 15 







 4.5 Enforcement and Protection of Intellectual Property Rights; Cooperation of Licensee.

  
 (a) The enforcement, protection and defense, including the
decision of whether or not to prosecute infringements or maintain registrations, of Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights in the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology shall be in the sole discretion and control of Licensor, and any and all recoveries
resulting from any such actions shall be retained by Licensor. Licensee shall execute such documents and provide such additional cooperation to Licensor as Licensor reasonably may request from time to time in order to perfect, evidence, protect or
secure Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights and to enable Licensor to conduct such enforcement, protection, defense, prosecution or registration (provided that Licensor reimburses Licensee for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in
connection with the same). 
  
 (b) Notwithstanding the foregoing,
in the event that after notice from Licensee and a reasonable opportunity to evaluate the circumstances (which may be a short time period if it is necessary to obtain injunctive relief), Licensor declines to take any action to prosecute a material
infringement of its Intellectual Property Rights in the Licensed Technology used by Licensee, where the existence of such material infringement shall be determined by Licensee in its reasonable discretion, then Licensee may take action (at its own
expense) to prosecute such infringement, and for this purpose Licensee may bring suit in its own name or the name of Licensor and Licensor will join in such action, if necessary, at Licensee’s expense and cooperate with Licensee in pursuing the
same, with Licensor having the opportunity to participate in such action if and to the extent it elects. Licensor shall execute such documents and provide such additional cooperation to Licensee as Licensee reasonably may request from time to time
in connection with such action. Any damages or other monetary awards or settlements recovered or obtained by Licensee from any such action brought under this Section 4.5(b) shall be retained in full by Licensee. Licensee shall
reimburse Licensor for its reasonable costs and expenses (including reasonable attorneys’ fees) incurred in connection with Licensor’s cooperation with Licensee under this Section 4.5(b) (including the reasonable value of
Licensor’s employees’ time expended in connection with such cooperation) and shall indemnify and hold harmless Licensor from any and all Losses that: (x) are awarded against Licensor in a judgment on an action brought by Licensee under
this Section 4.5(b) that related to Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights in the Licensed Technology or (y) are incurred by Licensor as a result of such judgment that adversely affects the validity, enforceability or ownership of
Licensor’s Intellectual Property Rights in the Licensed Technology (or any portion thereof). 
  
 (c) In addition, in the event that Licensor elects not to maintain any application to register, or any registration of, any patent or copyright
rights covering the Licensed Technology which application or registration existed as of the Effective Date and was disclosed to Licensee under the Purchase Agreement, then Licensor shall use commercially reasonable efforts to notify Licensee of such
election no less than thirty (30) days prior to knowingly abandoning any such application or registration and shall, upon the request of Licensee, maintain such application or registration in Licensor’s name, at Licensee’s sole cost and
expense.

 ARTICLE 5 
  

TAXES 
  
 5.1 Payment of Taxes. Any applicable sales, use, goods or services, value-added, transfer, withholding or any other similar taxes or charges
imposed by any taxing Authority (which, for the avoidance of any doubt, do not include any tax imposed on (i) the income or assets of Licensor or any of its Affiliates or (ii) any transactions between Licensee and Authorized Users) (each, a
“Tax”) on Licensor or Licensee in connection with this Agreement shall be borne equally by Licensor, on the one hand, and Licensee, on the other hand, regardless of the Person on whom such Taxes are imposed, provided,
however, to the extent permitted by Applicable Law, Licensor and Licensee shall cooperate in minimizing any such Taxes. Licensor and Licensee shall further cooperate to timely prepare and file any Tax return or other filings relating to such
Taxes, including any claim for exemption or exclusion from the application or imposition of any such Taxes, and Licensor shall timely file any such Tax return and timely pay any such Taxes unless Licensee is required to file such Tax return by
Applicable Law. With respect to such Tax returns filed by Licensor, Licensee shall pay to Licensor, not later than five (5) business days before the due date for payment of such Taxes, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of such Taxes shown on
such return or other filing, and Licensor shall, following the filing thereof, promptly furnish to Licensee a copy of such return or other filing and a copy of a receipt showing payment of any such Tax. With respect to such Tax returns filed by
Licensee, Licensor shall pay to Licensee, not later than five (5) business days before the due date for payment of such Taxes, an amount equal to fifty percent (50%) of the Taxes shown on such return or other filing, and Licensee shall, following
the filing thereof, promptly furnish to Licensor a copy of such return or other filing and a copy of a receipt showing payment of any such Tax. 
  
 ARTICLE 6 
  
 CONFIDENTIALITY AND SECURITY 
  
 6.1 Definition. For purposes of this Agreement, subject to Section 6.3, “Confidential Information” means (a) all information or materials (including test results) contained within,
associated with or with respect to any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology or any Intellectual Property Rights therein, regardless of the source of such information or materials and regardless of whether or not marked or otherwise designated as
“confidential” or “proprietary” or the like (all of which shall be considered the Confidential Information of Licensor); (b) to the extent not deemed the Confidential Information of Licensor pursuant to clause (a) above, all
information or materials (including test results) contained within, associated with or with respect to any of the Portal Software or Revised Portal Software or any Intellectual Property Rights therein, regardless 
  

 17 







 of the source of such information or materials and regardless of whether or not marked or otherwise designated as
“confidential” or “proprietary” or the like (all of which shall be considered the Confidential Information of Licensee); and (c) any other information or materials disclosed by, or on behalf of, (i) Licensor or any of its
Affiliates to Licensee, any of its Affiliates or any Authorized Users or (ii) Licensee to Licensor or any of its Affiliates, in each case in this clause (c) in connection with this Agreement that is marked or otherwise designated
“confidential” or “proprietary” or the like or that, due to the nature of such information or materials or the circumstances surrounding such disclosure, should reasonably be considered to be confidential or proprietary in nature
(including any information relating to Licensees’ Authorized Users and the Sublicense Agreements). 
  
 6.2 Confidential Treatment. 
  
 (a) Each Party shall treat as confidential all of the Confidential Information of the other Party, and shall not disclose or use (and shall not permit any
of its Affiliates, (in the case of Licensee) any Authorized User, or any other Person to whom any Confidential Information or Agreement Confidential Information is disclosed by, on behalf of, for the benefit of or at the request of such Party, any
of its Affiliates or (in the case of Licensee) any Authorized User (each a “Recipient,” which term shall also include the applicable Party) to disclose or use) any of the Confidential Information of the other Party except as
expressly permitted under this Agreement. Without limiting the foregoing, each Party shall use, and shall cause its Affiliates to use, at least the same degree of care that such Party uses to prevent the disclosure or misuse of its own confidential
information of like nature or importance, but in no event less than reasonable care, to prevent the disclosure or misuse of any Confidential Information, and Licensee shall cause each other Recipient to comply with the confidentiality provisions in
the applicable Sublicense Agreement. 
  
 (i) Subject to the
foregoing, and except as may be specifically agreed from time to time by the Parties, Licensee shall not, and shall not permit any other Recipient to communicate or disclose, directly or indirectly, any of the Confidential Information (or any
portion thereof) to any Person (other than (x) communications or disclosures by Licensee, in accordance with this Agreement, to Authorized Licensee Employees or Authorized Licensee Contractors, but only to the extent that such Authorized Licensee
Employees or Authorized Licensee Contractors have a need for such information in order to allow Licensee to exercise the rights granted to Licensee by this Agreement in accordance with the terms of this Agreement and have agreed in writing to
confidentiality and limited use obligations as described in Section 6.7, and (y) communications or disclosures by Licensee, in accordance with this Agreement, to Authorized Non-Licensee Users and Existing Gr8Trade Customers, and by such
Authorized Non-Licensee Users and Existing Gr8Trade Customers to their employees, of Confidential Information related to the Object Code version of that portion of the Licensed Software or Gr8Trade Software, and the Licensed Documentation and
Gr8Trade Users’ Guide, to which such Authorized Non-Licensee User or Existing Gr8Trade Customer has authorized access under this Agreement and its Sublicense Agreement, but only to the extent that such Authorized Non-Licensee Users, Existing
Gr8Trade Customers and employees have a need for such information 
  

 18 







 in order to allow such Authorized Non-Licensee Users and Existing Gr8Trade Customers to exercise the rights granted to
such Authorized Non-Licensee Users and Existing Gr8Trade Customers under their respective Sublicense Agreements and have agreed in writing to confidentiality and limited use obligations as described in Section 6.7). 
  
 (ii) Each Party shall not and shall not permit its Affiliates to:

  
 (A) use any Confidential Information (or any
portion thereof) of the other Party in any manner except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement; or 
  
 (B) take any other action with respect to the Confidential Information (or any portion thereof) of the other Party inconsistent with the
confidential and proprietary nature of such Confidential Information. 
  
 (iii) Licensee shall not permit any Authorized User to use any Confidential Information (or any portion thereof) of Licensor in any manner except as expressly contemplated by this Agreement and the applicable Sublicense Agreement.

  
 (b) Subject to Section 6.2(a), each Party may copy,
modify and internally distribute to its employees Confidential Information of the other Party; provided that no party shall make or permit to be made more copies, modifications or distributions of any Confidential Information than shall be
reasonably necessary in connection with its permitted use thereof. Disclosure of any Confidential Information shall not be deemed to represent an assignment or grant of any right, title or interest in such Confidential Information other than the
license rights expressly set forth herein.

 (a) Confidential Information of a Party
shall exclude information that the other Party can demonstrate: (i) is independently developed or conceived by it after the date of this Agreement without reference to or use of any Confidential Information; (ii) becomes known to it, without
restriction, from a third party who such Party reasonably believes, after due inquiry, has the right to so disclose it; or (iii) was generally known or available to the public at the time it was disclosed or at a later time through no act or
omission of it or any other Person who it reasonably believes, after due inquiry, had an obligation to keep such information confidential. 
  
 (b) The restrictions set forth in Section 6.2(a)(i) shall not apply to Confidential Information that is required to be disclosed by a Party
pursuant to an order or requirement of any Authority; provided, however, that such Party shall provide prompt prior Notice thereof to the other Party describing in reasonable detail such requirement and all Confidential Information
required to be so disclosed, and shall use reasonable efforts and cooperate with the other Party at the other Party’s expense to obtain a protective order or otherwise seek to prevent disclosure of such Confidential Information. 
  

 19 







 6.4 Confidentiality of Agreement. Each Party agrees that the terms of, but not the existence of,
this Agreement and any negotiations with respect to the same (“Agreement Confidential Information”) shall be maintained as confidential and that such Party shall not, unless agreed to in writing by the other Party, disclose or
reveal, directly or indirectly, any of such Agreement Confidential Information to any Person except (i)(x) to the Party’s or its Affiliates’ respective officers, directors, members, partners, managers, employees, attorneys or other
professional advisors, or (y) to any actual or potential investor in, or purchaser of, such Party, to any actual or potential banks or other financing sources of such Party, and to their respective attorneys or other professional advisors; but in
each case only to the extent that such Persons have a reasonable need to know the same for purposes of such relationship and agree to maintain the confidentiality of the same; or (ii) to the limited extent necessary to enforce its rights, or perform
its obligations, under this Agreement. The provisions of this Section 6.4 shall not, however, (i) prohibit any Party from disclosing to any Person the fact that the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology has been licensed from Licensor to Licensee,
without further detail, or (ii) prohibit any Party from disclosing any Agreement Confidential Information to the extent that such disclosure is required by Applicable Law, so long as the Party seeking to disclose the same shall first have given
prompt prior Notice thereof to the other Party describing in reasonable detail such requirement and all Agreement Confidential Information required to be so disclosed, and reasonably cooperates with the other Party in its efforts, if any, to prevent
or limit any such disclosure. 
  
 6.5 Cooperation. Each
Party agrees that, either upon learning of, or upon a showing by the other Party of, any threatened or actual breach of the provisions of this Article 6 or of any threatened or actual unauthorized use or disclosure of all or any portion of
the Confidential Information or Agreement Confidential Information of such Party by any Recipient or any Person to whom such Party or any Recipient made available such Confidential Information or Agreement Confidential Information, or in the event
of any loss of, or inability to account for, any of the Confidential Information or Agreement Confidential Information or any such information or materials of such Party, such Party shall, without limitation of any liability that such Party may have
hereunder with respect to such threatened or actual breach or such unauthorized use or disclosure, loss or inability to account, give Notice thereof to the other Party and shall cooperate as reasonably requested by the other Party in conjunction
with the other Party’s efforts, if any, to seek appropriate injunctive relief or otherwise to prevent or curtail such threatened or actual breach or unauthorized use or disclosure, loss or inability to account or to recover such Confidential
Information or Agreement Confidential Information. 
  
 6.6 Data
Backup. Licensor is not responsible for the backup or storage of Licensee’s or any Authorized Users’ data. 
  
 6.7 Restrictions on Disclosure. Each Party agrees that, to the extent it is permitted to disclose Confidential Information or Agreement
Confidential Information of the other Party to any Authorized User or any other Person (other than pursuant to Section 6.3(b) or the last sentence of Section 6.4), it shall do so pursuant to a written agreement containing terms at
least as protective of Confidential Information and Agreement Confidential Information as those set 
  

 20 







 forth in this Article 6 (but with no further rights of disclosure and no rights of use on their own behalf).
Licensee acknowledges that the corresponding provisions included in the forms of Sublicense Agreements attached hereto shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 6.7. 
  
 6.8 Legends. Each Party agrees that it will not remove, alter, deface
or obscure any Applicable Legends contained on or included in any of the other Party’s Confidential Information, nor will either Party allow any of its Recipients to do so. Each Party shall reproduce any such Applicable Legend on any
reproduction or modification of any of the other Party’s Confidential Information and shall promptly add (or remove) any such Applicable Legend to the other Party’s Confidential Information as such other Party may reasonably request from
time to time. Licensee acknowledges that the corresponding provisions included in the forms of Sublicense Agreements attached hereto shall be deemed to satisfy the requirements of this Section 6.8. 
  
 6.9 Return. Subject to Section 7.4, upon expiration of the
Applicable Gr8Trade Sublicense Term for any Existing Gr8Trade Customer or the term of the applicable Sublicense Agreement for any Authorized Licensee Subcontractor or Authorized Non-Licensee User, Licensee shall use commercially reasonable efforts
to cause such Existing Gr8Trade Customer, Authorized Licensee Contractor or Authorized Non-Licensee User, as applicable, to promptly return to Licensee all of Licensor’s Confidential Information, including all copies of any thereof, under the
possession or control of such Person, or to destroy or purge any such Confidential Information in all systems and files of such Person. Upon expiration of all Applicable Gr8Trade Sublicense Terms for all Existing Gr8Trade Customers, Licensee shall
take the same actions with respect to any of Licensor’s Confidential Information related to the Gr8Trade Additional Elements or Gr8Trade Users’ Guide that may be under Licensee’s possession or control. Subject to Section 7.4,
upon termination or expiration of this Agreement for any reason, upon request, each Party promptly shall return to the other Party all of the other Party’s Confidential Information, including all copies of any thereof, under the possession or
control of such Party or any other Recipient, or destroy or purge (or cause to be destroyed or purged) all systems and files of any such Person of any such Confidential Information. Upon request, each Party shall promptly certify to the other Party
its compliance with this Section 6.9. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each Party shall be permitted to retain a copy of the other Party’s Confidential Information as and to the extent required by Applicable Law; provided that any
such copies shall be used only to the extent required to comply with Applicable Law.

breached any of the provisions of Sections 2.1,2.2, 2.3, 2.4 (other than 2.4(a)(i) and (vii)), 2.6, or 4.4, or Article 6 (other than Section 6.8), Licensor may give Notice to Licensee
specifying the noncompliance or breach and indicating an intent to terminate this Agreement if the same is not corrected. Licensee shall have thirty (30) days from the date of receipt of such Notice to correct such breach. If such breach is not
corrected by the end of such period, this Agreement shall automatically terminate. 
  
 (b) Subject to Section 7.2 and Section 7.3(a), if Licensee fails to discharge any material obligation or to correct any material default hereunder, Licensor may give Notice specifying the material
obligation or material default and indicating an intent to terminate this Agreement if the material obligation is not discharged or the material default is not corrected. Licensee shall have sixty (60) days from the date of receipt of such Notice to
discharge such obligation or correct such default. If such material obligation is not discharged or such material default is not corrected by the end of the applicable period set forth immediately above, this Agreement will automatically terminate;
provided, however, that subject to Section 7.2 and other than the defaults set forth in Section 7.3(a), if, immediately prior to the expiration of the applicable cure period, Licensee has made a good faith effort to
correct the default, in the reasonable judgment of Licensor, Licensee shall be permitted thirty (30) days to effect an orderly wind-down of its use of the Licensed Technology and Gr8Trade Licensed Technology. 
  
 (c) For the avoidance of doubt, any failure by an Authorized User (other than
an Authorized Licensee Employee) to discharge any obligation or to correct any default under 
  

 22 







 this Agreement or the applicable Sublicense Agreement shall not be deemed a breach by Licensee of this Agreement if
Licensee complies with its obligations under Sections 2.7 and 9.12. 
  
 7.4 Effect of Termination. Except as expressly provided herein, upon termination of this Agreement, no Party shall have any further obligations to any other Party hereunder, except that termination of this
Agreement shall not relieve any Party from liability for any breach of this Agreement that occurred prior to termination hereof or from any obligations to any other Party hereunder outstanding or accrued prior to such termination and any amounts
owed to a Party hereunder shall continue to be owed; except that the provisions of Article 4 (Intellectual Property), Article 5 (Taxes), Article 6 (Confidentiality), Section 7.4, Article 8 (Disclaimers, Limitations
and Indemnification) and Article 9 (Miscellaneous) shall continue in full force and effect and survive such termination. Upon termination of this Agreement all license grants from Licensor to Licensee shall cease, Licensee immediately shall
(and shall cause each Authorized User to) cease all use of any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology and return or destroy all copies of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology; provided that Licensee shall have no liability for breach of this
sentence to the extent that Licensee is effecting an orderly wind-down as and to the extent permitted by Section 7.3(b). Without limiting the foregoing or Section 6.9, at Licensor’s request, upon termination hereof, subject to
Licensee’s rights during any applicable wind-down period, Licensee shall either destroy or return to Licensor all copies of any Confidential Information and related materials in its possession or under its control. After termination, Licensee
shall certify its compliance with this Section 7.4. Notwithstanding termination of this Agreement, all Authorized Non-Licensee Users licensed to use the Portal Software or the Revised Portal Software shall be permitted to continue to use the
Licensed Technology (as embedded in the Portal Software or the Revised Portal Software) in accordance with the terms of the applicable Authorized Non-Licensee User Sublicense Agreement until the earliest of (i) the termination of such Sublicense
Agreement in accordance with the terms thereof for the breach thereof and (ii) the remainder of the then current term of such Sublicense Agreement.

violates the Intellectual Property Rights of any third party, Licensee shall promptly provide Notice of the same to Licensor and, to the extent that Licensor requests in writing, Licensee shall reasonably cooperate with Licensor in the investigation
of any such claim or potential claim (provided that Licensor reimburses Licensee for its reasonable out-of-pocket expenses in connection with the same). 
  

 26 







 8.6 Indemnification. Licensee, at its sole expense, hereby agrees to be liable for and to
indemnify, hold harmless and (at the election of Licensor) defend (with counsel reasonably acceptable to Licensor) Licensor, its Affiliates, and their respective directors, officers, members, partners, employees, agents and representatives
(collectively, the “Licensor Indemnified Parties”), from and against any and all debts, liabilities, losses, costs or expenses, including reasonable attorneys’ fees (collectively, “Losses”) incurred as a result
of any claim brought by a third party, to the extent arising out of or in any way related to, in whole or in part: (i) (A) Licensee’s or any Authorized User’s use of any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology (including the marketing or
sublicensing of portions thereof to any Authorized Licensee Subcontractor, Authorized Non-Licensee User, or Existing Gr8Trade Customer, or any warranty, express or implied, made or alleged to have been made by or on behalf of Licensee with respect
to any of the Licensed Technology or any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology, or in the conduct of any other business of Licensee with respect to any portion of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology); (B) any claim by or on behalf of any Authorized User
(or any Person connected with any Authorized User) with respect to any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology; (C) any failure by Licensee or any Authorized User to comply with any of the requirements of this Agreement or any applicable Sublicense
Agreement; (ii) any misrepresentation or breach of any representation, warranty or covenant of Licensee contained in this Agreement; or (iii) Licensee’s fraud, gross negligence or willful misconduct; provided, that Licensee shall have no
liability to indemnify any Licensor Indemnified Party hereunder with respect to any Losses arising out of: (x) any claim brought by a third party arising out of or alleging that the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology infringes upon the Intellectual
Property Rights of any Person or (y) Licensor’s gross negligence or willful misconduct; and provided further, that Licensee shall not be required to indemnify any Licensor Indemnified Party under this Agreement to the extent of
any Losses for which it would otherwise be obligated to indemnify (and does indemnify) Licensor and any of its affected Affiliates under the Purchase Agreement. Licensor shall notify Licensee of any matter with respect to which any Licensor
Indemnified Party is entitled to seek indemnification from Licensee under this Section promptly after Licensor becomes aware of such matter; provided, however, that any failure to give prompt notice of such matter shall not relieve
Licensee from any of its liabilities or obligations hereunder with respect to such matter unless (and then only to the extent that) such failure materially and adversely affects the ability of Licensee to indemnify against (or if applicable, defend)
any claim or action arising out of such matter. In the event that Licensor requests that Licensee defend any Licensor Indemnified Party indemnified under this Section with respect to any indemnified matter, such Licensor Indemnified Party shall
nevertheless have the right to participate in the defense with counsel of its own choice (with such counsel’s fees and expenses incurred after the date Licensee initiates the defense to be paid by such Licensor Indemnified Party unless (1) in
Licensor’s reasonable judgment, it is advisable in light of the separate interests of Licensor and Licensee for the Licensor Indemnified Party to be represented by separate counsel or (2) Licensee shall not have employed counsel to defend the
Licensor Indemnified Party within a reasonable time or fails to do so until the matter is resolved; in either such case, the fees and expenses of such separate counsel shall be paid by Licensee) and to approve in writing any settlement or compromise
or any consent to the entry of any judgment that does not include as an unconditional term thereof the giving by the claimant or plaintiff to each Licensor Indemnified Party of a release, reasonably satisfactory to such Licensor 
  

 27 







 Indemnified Party, from all liability in respect of such matter and there shall be no other terms and conditions as part
of such settlement, compromise, or consent to judgment which could reasonably be expected to materially and adversely affect any such Licensor Indemnified Party. To the extent requested by Licensee, Licensor agrees to reasonably cooperate with
Licensee and its counsel in connection with any such matter, provided that Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for any expenses associated with the same. Each of Licensor and Licensee shall use reasonable efforts to keep the other Party
informed at all times as to the status of its efforts with respect to any matter covered hereby and to consult with the other Party concerning its efforts.

closing of such transaction and (ii) for the avoidance of doubt, in no event shall Primary Licensee or any other person entitled to benefits under Section 2.4(c) retain any rights or benefits under this Agreement following such assignment,
except as an Authorized Non-Licensee User), and any such assignment, transfer or other disposition shall release Licensee from its obligations hereunder, except where such assignment is to a Person that is and remains a controlled Affiliate of
Licensee. Any attempted assignment, transfer, sublicense or other disposition in violation of the foregoing shall be void. Licensor may assign, transfer or otherwise dispose of this Agreement or any of its rights or obligations hereunder, in whole
or in part, without the consent of Licensee and any such assignment, transfer or other disposition shall release Licensor from its obligations hereunder.

effective and valid under Applicable Law, but if any provision of this Agreement, or the application thereof to any Person or any circumstances, shall be invalid or unenforceable to any extent under Applicable Law, and the extent of such invalidity
and unenforceability does not cause substantial deviation from the underlying intent of the Parties as expressed in this Agreement, then such provision shall be deemed severed from this Agreement with respect to such Person or circumstances, without
invalidating the remainder of this Agreement or the application of such provision to other Persons or circumstances, and a new provision shall be deemed to be substituted in lieu of the provision so severed which new provision shall, to the extent

 (a) This Agreement shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to principles of conflicts of
laws thereof. Each of the Parties irrevocably and unconditionally agrees (i) to be subject to the jurisdiction of the courts of the State of Delaware and of the federal courts sitting in the State of Delaware, (ii) that, to the extent such Party is
not otherwise subject to service of process in the State of Delaware, it will appoint (and maintain an agreement with respect to) an agent in the State of Delaware as such Party’s agent for acceptance of legal process (provided that any
obligation under this clause (ii) shall terminate six (6) years after the First Closing Date (as defined in the Purchase Agreement)), (iii) that, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, service of process may also be made on such Party by
prepaid certified mail with a validated proof of mailing receipt constituting evidence of valid service, and (iv) that service made pursuant to (ii) or (iii) above shall, to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, have the same legal force
and effect as if served upon such Party personally within the State of Delaware. Each Party irrevocably agrees for the exclusive benefit of the other that the United States District Court for the District of Delaware, the Chancery Court of the State
of Delaware, the Superior Court of the State of Delaware or the Supreme Court of the State of Delaware (the “Chosen Courts”) shall have jurisdiction to hear and determine or settle any dispute which may arise out of or in connection
with this Agreement and that accordingly any suit, action or proceedings arising out of or in connection with this Agreement may be brought in the Chosen Courts. 
  
 (b) Each of Licensor and Licensee irrevocably waives any objection to the venue of the courts designated in this Section

Agreement, the term “days” means calendar days, not business days, unless otherwise specified. Unless otherwise specified, the words “herein,” “hereof,” and “hereunder” and other words of similar import refer

otherwise specified, any reference to articles, sections or clauses are to articles, sections or clauses of this Agreement. Unless otherwise specified, references to any document or agreement, including this Agreement, shall be deemed to include
references to such document or agreement as amended, supplemented or replaced from time to time in accordance with its terms and (where applicable) subject to compliance with the requirements set forth therein. Unless otherwise specified, references
to any Party to this Agreement or any other document or agreement shall include the heirs, successors and permitted assigns of such Party. Unless otherwise specified, any reference to a statute includes and refers to the statute itself, as well as
to any rules and regulations made and duly promulgated pursuant thereto, and all amendments made thereto and in force currently from time to time and any statutes, rules or regulations thereafter duly made, enacted and/or promulgated, as may be
appropriate, and/or any other governmental actions thereafter duly taken from time to time having the effect of supplementing or superseding such statute, rules, and/or regulations. The language in all parts of this Agreement shall be in all cases
construed according to its plain meaning and not strictly for or against one or more of the Parties. Any table of contents or headings contained in this Agreement are for reference purposes only and shall not be construed to affect the meaning or
interpretation of this Agreement. When required by the context, (i) whenever the singular number is used in this Agreement, the same shall include the plural, and the plural shall include the singular; and (ii) the masculine gender shall include the
feminine and neuter genders and vice versa. Unless the context requires otherwise, derivative forms of any capitalized term defined in this Agreement shall have the comparable meaning to that of such term.

Applicability of Restrictions to Certain Persons. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Agreement, subject to Section 8.4, Licensee shall at all times be liable to Licensor for the use of any of the Licensed Technology by
Licensee or any Authorized User not in accordance with this Agreement, for any use or disclosure of any Confidential Information by any Recipient not in accordance with Article VI, and for using its commercially reasonable efforts to ensure
the compliance by each Authorized User with their obligations under any applicable Sublicense Agreement. 
  
 9.13 Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted to a Party hereunder are, and shall otherwise be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n) of
the U.S. Bankruptcy Code (11 U.S.C. § 101, et seq.), licenses to rights of “intellectual property” as defined thereunder. Notwithstanding any provision contained herein to the contrary, if any Party as licensor of any
such license is under any proceeding under the Bankruptcy Code and the trustee in bankruptcy of such Party or such Party as a debtor in possession rightfully elects to reject this Agreement, the other Parties may, pursuant to 11 U.S.C. §
365(n)(1) and (2), retain any and all rights hereunder granted to it to the maximum extent permitted by law, subject to the payments, if any, specified herein. 
  

9.14 Inspection, Etc. 
  
 (a) At any time and from time to time on a reasonable periodic basis, within seven (7) business days after written request by Licensor, Licensee shall
provide Licensor a written certification, executed by an officer of Licensee, of all locations at which any Source Code of the Licensed Technology is stored, maintained, used or accessed, the number of copies of the Source Code of the Licensed
Technology made by or on behalf of Licensee or any Authorized User, and the number of Persons who were using or have access to any of the same. 
  
 (b) If at any time Licensor should have a bona fide good faith basis to believe that Licensee has not complied with its obligations under this Agreement,
then it may send a written notice to Licensee describing such alleged non-compliance and requesting to inspect such locations and to inspect, audit, verify and copy such records and procedures of Licensee that are relevant to such alleged
non-compliance. Licensee shall reasonably cooperate with such request, and Licensor shall be permitted to perform such inspection and audit within ten (10) business days after such written notice in the manner described in the next two (2)
sentences. Unless otherwise agreed by Licensee in its sole discretion, any such records shall be made available to, and such inspection and audit shall be made by, an independent third party auditor selected by Licensor that is not an Affiliate of
either Party and that has had no material relationship with either Party during the previous two (2) years, at Licensee’s principal place of business or such other location as Licensor and Licensee may agree upon in writing from time to time,
provided that Licensee shall have the right to object to any such third party auditor selected by Licensor in its reasonable discretion, in which case it shall identify to Licensor three (3) independent third 
  

 32 







 party auditors acceptable to it that meet the above criteria that Licensor may select from in order to conduct such
inspection and audit. Such independent third party auditor shall use reasonable efforts to conduct any such inspection or audit in a manner that does not unreasonably interfere with Licensee’s business, and shall limit its inspection or audit
to such records and procedures that are relevant to the alleged non-compliance. In the event that any such inspection or audit identifies any material breach of this Agreement, then without limitation of any other rights or remedies that may be
available to Licensor as a result of such breach, Licensee shall reimburse Licensor for all reasonable costs and expenses of such inspection or audit. Licensor agrees that it shall not exercise its rights of inspection and audit under this
Section 9.14(b) more than once during any one (1) year period unless since the date of the last inspection or audit Licensee has breached this Agreement or in the course of the previous inspection or audit Licensee was found to not be in
compliance with its obligations hereunder. Any Confidential Information of Licensee obtained pursuant to this Section shall be subject to the provisions of Article 6 of this Agreement, and such independent third party auditor shall not be
permitted to share any information learned during the inspection or audit except and only to the extent directly related to the alleged non-compliance by Licensee with this Agreement. 
  
 9.15 U.S. Government Restricted Rights. Licensee shall include the following provision (and/or such other provisions
as may be required under Applicable Law from time to time to accomplish substantially the same result) in each Sublicense Agreement, on the first screen of any software utilizing any of the Gr8Trade Licensed Technology, and on any related media and
