1.2 LICENSE TYPE
"Full Use Programs" are defined as an unaltered version of the Licensed
Programs with all functions intact.
"Deployment Programs" are limited to use solely in conjunction with and
in support of a Client Entity's business Application(s) ("Client
Application(s)") and as restricted below. The combination of the
Deployment Programs and a Client Application shall be defined as the
Application Package.
a. The Application Package under Client Application control may
be used to create new tables or alter tables only to the
extent necessary to implement the Application Package's
functions. The Application Package may not allow use of the
Deployment Programs' Create or Alter commands or any other
command that would allow the User to create tables or alter
tables outside the scope of those necessary for the operation
of the Client Application(s).
b. The Application Package may not allow use of the Deployment
Programs' SQL*Forms modules or any other functionality that
would enable modification of forms created by the Application
Package or generation of new forms.
c. The Application Package may not allow use of the Deployment
Programs outside the scope of the Application Package, or to
be used to create any new application programs, or expand the
functionality of the Application Package, or for any general
database management.
1.3 USER
A. For Program Set A, one "Concurrent User" is defined as one individual
employed by Client, an Entity Employee, Agent Individual, or Subscriber
Designee who may use the Programs under Paragraph 1.8 of the Agreement,
or one individual authorized by a Sublicensee in accordance with
Exhibit A to this User Agreement to access one or more Oracle instances
online within Client or a Client Entity at the same point in time from
the same device. Each additional process (e.g., a report, update, or
query requested through an application program, or batch process) shall
also be counted as a Concurrent User.
If multiplexing software or hardware (which is software or hardware
whose primary purpose is to reduce the number of Concurrent Users
directly connected to an Oracle instance, e.g. a TP monitor) is used,
then the number of Concurrent Users shall be measured as the number of
distinct inputs to the multiplexing front-end. Otherwise, the number of
Concurrent Users shall be measured as the number of unique connections
to the same Oracle instance.
B. For Program Set B, "Concurrent User(s)" is defined as each session
connected to the database by individuals employed by Client (or an
Entity Employee, Agent Individual, or Subscriber Designee who may use
the Programs under Paragraph 1.8 of the Agreement) on the specified
Computer at the same point in time. This includes all batch processes
and on-line users. If multiplexing software or hardware (e.g. a TP
monitor) is used to reduce the number of sessions directly connected to
the database, the number of Concurrent Users must be measured as the
number of distinct inputs to the multiplexing front-end.
C. The maximum number of Concurrent Users of the Program Sets on the
Hardware shall be as follows:
Program Set Number of Concurrent Users
Program Set A 2,250 Concurrent Users
Program Set B 48 Concurrent Users
All references to User in this User Agreement shall mean Concurrent
User.
1.3.1 During the User Agreement Term, Client shall have the option to
increase the number of Concurrent Users of the Licensed Programs in
Program Sets A and B for use on the relevant Hardware in additional
User Increments (with a minimum of one User Increment per order) as
specified below:

The confidential redacted portions have been filed with the Securities and
Exchange Commission.
Orders placed against this option must be sequential (i.e. For a
purchase of 1200 additional Concurrent Users for Program Set A, Client
would pay (i) ***** per 100 Concurrent Users for the first 500
Concurrent Users, (ii) ***** per 100 Concurrent Users for the second
500 Concurrent Users, and (iii) ***** per 100 Concurrent Users for the
next 200 Concurrent Users). The total number of additional Concurrent
Users is not reset to zero after each purchase (i.e. If Client chose to
purchase another 700 Concurrent Users for Program Set A after the above
mentioned 1200 Concurrent User purchase, Client would pay (i) ***** per
100 Concurrent Users for the first 300 Concurrent Users and (ii) *****
per 100 Concurrent Users for the next 400 Concurrent Users). For each
order, applicable sales tax will be added to the Additional Fee. All
applicable fees shall be due and payable on the date that Client
notifies Oracle in writing of its exercise of this option. Upon
election, this payment obligation is noncancelable, and the sum paid is
