RECITALS:
A.Licensor owns a proprietary database comprised of information about commercial shopping districts, called the DIRECTORY OF RETAIL SHOPPING DISTRICTS™, along with a summary table, and other supporting materials (the DIRECTORY OF RETAIL SHOPPING DISTRICTS™, along with the supporting materials, are called the "Database" in this agreement).

B.Licensee desires to secure from Licensor the non-exclusive rights to use the Database, along with any updates, improvements, and supplements thereto ("Updates") as described in the "Grant of Rights" (Section 1 below), and subject to the "Reserved Rights/Limitations on Grant of Rights" (Section 4 below), and further subject to the other terms of this Agreement.

NOW, THEREFORE, in exchange for the mutual promises contained herein, and other legal and valuable consideration, receipt and sufficiency of which are accepted, the parties agree as follows:



Section 1
GRANT OF RIGHTS
A.Licensor hereby grants you the limited, non-exclusive, non-transferable, worldwide right to use Licensor's Database and any Updates internally, for the Term, strictly for the purpose of understanding, analyzing, evaluating, and using facts about commercial shopping districts. You may utilize the Database, along with any Updates, to generate reports, summaries, presentations, analyses, or models (your "Output") and provide such Output to third parties, in the ordinary course of your business or delivery of your services; provided that no more than Twenty Percent (20%) of any single piece of Output shall be made up of the Database and the Updates. You shall cite Licensor as the source of any portion of the Database or Updates included in any Output, and you shall include Licensor's Copyright notice "© Geographic Investigations 2010-2012" and trademark notice "DIRECTORY OF RETAIL SHOPPING DISTRICTS™."

B.If you have purchased a "Single User" license per Section 5 below, you may view and otherwise use the Database, and any Updates, on a single hardware platform (not a server) and may also print a hard copy of portions of the Database and any Updates, strictly for your use as permitted under Subsection A, above.

C.If you have purchased an "Enterprise License", per Section 5 below, you may view and otherwise use the Database, and any Updates, on the number of hardware platforms that you have paid for (see pricing in Section 5) if those hardware platforms are owned and used as part of your corporation or other entity that has purchased the license. Note that a server is not a "hardware platform". You may also print a hard copy of portions of the Database, and any Updates, strictly for your use as permitted under Subsection A, above.

D.The foregoing notwithstanding, you may make one electronic copy of the Database and any Updates strictly for archival and back-up purposes, provided that any such copy shall be subject to this Agreement and bear Licensor's trademark notices, copyright notices, and other proprietary notices contained in versions of the Database or Updates provided by Licensor under this Agreement.



Section 2
DUTIES OF LICENSOR
Licensor shall:

A.Provide Licensee with one copy of the current version of the Database by making the Database available for download according to instructions contained in a confirmation message sent to Licensee's designated email address.

B.Furnish to Licensee any Updates that Licensor may elect to create during the Term ("Term" is defined in Section 8, below); provided, that Licensor shall have no obligation to create any such Updates.



Section 3
DUTIES AND WARRANTY OF LICENSEE
A.Licensee shall:

i.Use the Database and any Updates solely for the purposes expressly allowed under Section 1 ("Grant of Rights"), and refrain from using the Database and any Updates in any way not permitted under Section 4, below, ("Reserved Rights/Limitations on Grant of Rights").

ii.Be solely responsible for all its internal maintenance and technical support relative to downloading or using the Database and any Updates.

iii.Make the payments required by Section 5, and otherwise fully comply with all of its duties and obligations under this Agreement.

B.Licensee represents and warrants that Licensee is not, and will not become, employed by or affiliated with a "Competitor of Licensor". As used in this Agreement, "Competitor of Licensor" means any corporation, entity, or other legal person who is in the business of compiling, creating, selling, licensing, marketing, or distributing a database that competes, directly or indirectly, with Licensor's Database or any Updates. Without narrowing the definition of "Competitor of Licensor", said term includes persons whose business includes selling, licensing, marketing, or distributing databases that include data about retailing, shopping centers, demographics, mapping, or real estate.



Section 4
RESERVED RIGHTS/LIMITATIONS ON GRANT OF RIGHTS

All rights not expressly granted to you in Section 1, above, are expressly reserved to Licensor. Without limiting the scope of this reservation of rights, neither you nor any person who gains access to the Database or any Updates through you, shall:

A.Copy the Database, any Updates, or any part thereof, except as is strictly necessary to use on authorized hardware platforms.

B.Re-sell, re-license, sub-license, distribute, or otherwise transfer the Database, any Updates, or any part thereof, to any third party, except for copying small portions, as expressly permitted under Section 1 above.

C.Access, view, or otherwise use the Database, any Updates, or any part thereof, as part of a shared or service bureau environment.

D.Copy or otherwise use any portion of the Database or any Updates, in a way that would make you a Competitor of Licensor.

E.Re-sell, re-license, sub-license, display, or otherwise distribute any portion of the Database or any Updates to a Competitor of Licensor.

You acknowledge that data gathering, entry and storage are subject to numerous potential problems and hazards, including but not limited to, human and machine errors, omissions, delays and losses. THE DATABASE AND ANY UPDATES ARE PROVIDED "AS IS." LICENSOR MAKES NO WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED, STATUTORY, OR OTHERWISE REGARDING THE DATABASE OR THE UPDATES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY REPRESENTATION ABOUT ACCURACY OR COMPLETENESS), AND LICENSOR SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ANY WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. MOREOVER, LICENSOR SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, NOR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, EVEN IF LICENSOR HAD NOTICE OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS. IN ANY CASE, LICENSOR'S MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ANY BREACH OF THIS AGREEMENT, OR ANY CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, THE DATABASE, OR ANY UPDATES, SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT YOU HAVE PAID LICENSOR UNDER SECTION 5, ABOVE.

SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF CONSEQUENTIAL OR OTHER DAMAGES, NOR THE LIMITATION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES; SO SOME OR ALL OF THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU.

Moreover, you shall destroy all copies of Licensor's Database and Updates in your possession, and certify in writing that you have done so. Termination shall not be considered a waiver or election of remedies, and Licensor shall have the right to pursue any and all legal and equitable claims against you if you have breached this Agreement. Licensor's rights under Sections 4, 5, 6, 7, and 11 shall survive termination.
