restrictions by a third party having the right to

Information to any third party; (IV) to use the 
Confidential Information solely and exclusively 
in accordance with the terms of this Agreement in 
order to carry out Your obligations and exercise 
Your rights under this Agreement; (V) to afford 
the Confidential Information at least the same

to notify Tenable promptly of any unauthorized 
use or disclosure of the Confidential Information 
and to cooperate with and assist Tenable in every 
reasonable way to stop or minimize such 
unauthorized use or disclosure.  You agree that 
if a court of competent jurisdiction determines 
that You have breached, or attempted or 
threatened to breach, Your confidentiality 
obligations to Tenable or Tenable's proprietary 
rights, money damages, Tenable will suffer 
irreparable harm and that monetary damages will 
be inadequate to compensate Tenable for such 
breach.  Accordingly, Tenable, in addition to and 
not in lieu of any other rights, remedies or 
damages available to it at law or in equity, 
shall be entitled to seek appropriate injunctive 
relief and other measures restraining further 
attempted or threatened breaches of such 
obligations without requirement to post any bond. 

8. Warranty and Disclaimer.  
(a) Software.  Tenable warrants that, for a 
period of thirty (30) days from the Effective 
Date (the "Warranty Period"), the unmodified 
Software will, under normal use, substantially 
perform the functions described in its technical 
documentation.  If there has been a breach of 
this warranty, then Tenable's sole obligation, 
and Your exclusive remedy, will be for Tenable, 
at its option, to correct the performance of the 
Software at no charge so that it substantially 
performs the functions described in its technical 
documentation or to replace the Software.  You 
acknowledge that, because the license for the 
Software is at no charge, the remedies described 
in the preceding sentence are sufficient and can 
not fail of their essential purpose.  
(b) Disclaimer.  EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH 
IN  SECTION 8(a), TENABLE DOES NOT MAKE  ANY 
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, 
OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING ANY WARRANTIES OF TITLE, 
NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A 
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, INTEGRATION, PERFORMANCE AND 
ACCURACY, AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM 
STATUTE, COURSE OF DEALING, COURSE OF PERFORMANCE 
OR USAGE OF TRADE, OTHER THAN THOSE WARRANTIES 
WHICH ARE IMPLIED BY AND INCAPABLE OF EXCLUSION, 
RESTRICTION, OR MODIFICATION UNDER APPLICABLE 
LAW.  TENABLE MAKES NO WARRANTY THAT THE SOFTWARE 
WILL OPERATE ERROR-FREE, FREE OF ANY SECURITY 
DEFECTS OR IN AN UNINTERRUPTED MANNER. 

9. Exclusion Damages. 
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL TENABLE BE LIABLE TO 
YOU OR ANY OTHER PERSON OR ENTITY FOR DIRECT 
(INCLUDING FOR NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, 
BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION AND OTHER 
CONTRACT OR TORT CLAIMS), INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, 
CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY OR PUNITIVE 
DAMAGES (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, 
BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION AND OTHER 
CONTRACT OR TORT CLAIMS; LOST PROFITS; OR ANY 
DAMAGES RESULTING FROM LOSS OF DATA, SECURITY 
BREACH, PROPERTY DAMAGE, LOSS OF REVENUE, LOSS OF 
BUSINESS OR LOST SAVINGS), ARISING OUT OF OR IN 
CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE PERFORMANCE 
OF THE SOFTWARE OR OF ANY OTHER OBLIGATIONS 
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER OR NOT 
TENABLE HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF 
SUCH DAMAGES.  YOU ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE AND 
LIABLE FOR VERIFYING THE SECURITY, ACCURACY AND 
ADEQUACY OF ANY OUTPUT FROM THE SOFTWARE, AND FOR 
ANY RELIANCE THEREON. 

10. Additional Provisions Regarding Liability.  
The parties agree that the foregoing limitations 
will not be read so as to limit any liability to 
an extent that would not be permitted under 
applicable law and specifically will not limit 
any liability for gross negligence, intentional 
tortious or unlawful conduct or damages for 
strict liability that may not be limited by law.

11. Indemnification.  
Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that 
by entering into and performing its obligations 
under this Agreement, Tenable will not assume and 
should not be exposed to the business and 
operational risks associated with Your business.  
You acknowledge that Your use of the Software is 
only a portion of Your overall security solution 
and that Tenable is not responsible for Your 
overall security solution.  As between You and 
Tenable, You are (and Tenable is not) responsible 
for the success or failure of such security 
solution.  Accordingly, You agree that you will, 
at your expense, indemnify, defend and hold 
Tenable harmless in all claims and actions that 
seek compensation of any kind for injury or death 
to persons and/or for damage to property, and 
that arise out of or relate to Your security 
solutions or Your use of the Software  or the 
solutions You provide to a third party through 
Your use of the Software.  You also agree to pay 
all settlements, costs, damages, legal fees and 
expenses finally awarded in all such claims and 
actions. 

12. Legal Compliance; Restricted Rights.  
The Software are provided solely for lawful 
purposes and use.  You are solely responsible 
for, and agree to perform your obligations in a 
manner that complies with all applicable 
national, regional and local laws, statutes, 
ordinances, regulations, codes and other types of 
government authority (including those governing 
export control, unfair competition, 
anti-discrimination, false advertising, privacy 
and data protection, and publicity and those 
identifying and procuring required permits, 
licenses, approvals, and other consents) 
("Laws").  If a charge is made that You are not 
complying with any such Laws, You will promptly 
notify Tenable of such charges in writing.  
Without limiting the foregoing, You agree to 
comply with all U.S. export Laws and applicable 
export Laws of Your locality (if You are not in 
the United States), to ensure that no information 
or technical data provided pursuant to this 
Agreement is exported or re-exported directly or 
indirectly in violation of Law or without first 
obtaining all required authorizations or 
licenses.  You will, at Your sole cost and 
expense, obtain and maintain in effect all 
permits, licenses, approvals and other consents 
related to Your obligations under this Agreement. 
 You agree, at Your expense, to comply with all 
foreign exchange and other Laws applicable to 
You.  The Software is licensed subject to 
Tenable's standard commercial agreement; Software 
licensed for use by the United States government 
is provided with "Restricted Rights" only as 
defined in 48 C.F.R. _52.227-14 and 48 C.F.R. 
_252.227-7014 if the commercial terms are deemed 
not to apply.

Software shall terminate automatically if You 
fail to comply with any term or condition of this 
Agreement. Immediately after termination of this 
Agreement, You shall destroy or return to Tenable 
the Software, together with all copies, 
modifications and merged portions of the Software 
in any form, and shall certify to Tenable in 
writing that through Your best efforts and to the 
best of your knowledge all such materials have 
been destroyed or returned to Tenable and removed 
from host computers on which Software resided.

14. Governing Law.  
This Agreement shall be governed in all respects 
by the laws of the State of Maryland, USA, 
without regard to choice-of-law rules or 
principles.  You expressly agree with Tenable 
that this Agreement shall not be governed by the 
U.N. Convention on Contracts for the 
International Sale of Goods, the application of 
which is expressly excluded. 

15. Dispute Resolution.  
You and Tenable submit to the exclusive 
jurisdiction of the courts of Howard County, 
Maryland and the United States District Court for 
Maryland, Baltimore Division, for any question or 
dispute arising out of or relating to this 
Agreement.  Due to the high costs and time 
involved in commercial litigation before a jury, 
the parties waive all right to a jury trial with 
respect to any and all issues in any action or 
proceeding arising out of or related to this 
Agreement.  

16. Notices.  
Any notices or other communication required or 
permitted to be made or given by either Party 
pursuant to this Agreement will be in writing, in 
English, and will be deemed to have been duly 
given when delivered if delivered personally or

this Agreement without Tenable's prior written 
consent.  You may use the Software to provide 
services to third parties as expressly provided 
in this Agreement.

18. Publicity.
You will not use Tenable's company name or any 
trademarks, logos, service marks or other 
intellectual property, or refer to Tenable or any 
of its employees, in any form of advertising, 
publicity or release without the prior written 
approval of Tenable, which Tenable may withhold 
in its sole discretion. 

19. Language.  
The language of this Agreement is English and all 
notices given under this Agreement must be in 
English to be effective.  No translation, if any, 
of this Agreement or any notice will be of any 
effect in the interpretation of this Agreement or 
in determining the intent of the parties.  The 
parties have expressly agreed that all invoices 
and related documents be drafted in English. 

20. Third Parties.  
This Agreement is not intended nor will it be 
interpreted to confer any benefit, right or 
privilege in any person or entity not a party to 
this Agreement.  Any party who is not a party to 
this Agreement has no right under any Law to 
enforce any term of this Agreement.

21. Trademarks. 
Nessus is a trademark of Tenable.  Tenable does 
not grant to You, either expressly or by 
implication, any license or permission under this 
Agreement to use any of the Tenable marks 
(including trademarks, service marks, trade 
names, trade dress, symbols, logos, designs, 
domain names, slogans and other source 
identifiers) (collectively, the "Marks"). 

22. General.  
This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement 
between the parties, and supersedes all other 
prior or contemporaneous communications between 
the parties (whether written or oral) relating to 
the subject matter of this Agreement. No 
supplement, modification or amendment of this 
Agreement shall be binding, unless executed in 
writing by a duly authorized representative of 
each party to this Agreement.  The provisions of 
this Agreement will be deemed severable, and the 
unenforceability of any one or more provisions 
will not affect the enforceability of any other 
provisions.  In addition, if any provision of 
this Agreement, for any reason, is declared to be 
unenforceable, the parties will substitute an 
enforceable provision that, to the maximum extent 
possible under applicable law, preserves the 
original intentions and economic positions of the 
parties.  No failure or delay by a party in 
exercising any right, power or remedy will 
operate as a waiver of that right, power or 
remedy, and no waiver will be effective unless it 
is in writing and signed by the waiving party.  
If a party waives any right, power or remedy, the 
waiver will not waive any successive or other 
right, power or remedy the party may have under 
this Agreement.  Any provision of this Agreement 
that imposes or contemplates continuing 
obligations on a party will survive the 
expiration or termination of this Agreement.  
"Including" and its derivatives (such as 
"include" and "includes") mean including without 
limitation; this term is as defined, whether or 
not capitalized in this Agreement.

ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.  YOU 
ARE SOLELY RESPONSIBLE AND LIABLE FOR VERIFYING 
THE SECURITY, ACCURACY AND ADEQUACY OF ANY OUTPUT 
FROM THE PLUGINS AND SUBSCRIPTIONS, AND FOR ANY 
RELIANCE THEREON. 

11) Additional Provisions Regarding Liability.  
The parties agree that the foregoing limitations 
will not be read so as to limit any liability to 
an extent that would not be permitted under 
applicable law and specifically will not limit 
any liability for gross negligence, intentional 
tortious or unlawful conduct or damages for 
strict liability that may not be limited by law.

12) Indemnification.  
Each of the parties acknowledges and agrees that 
by entering into and performing its obligations 
under this Subscription Agreement, Tenable will 
not assume and should not be exposed to the 
business and operational risks associated with 
Your business.  You acknowledge that Your use of 
the Plugins and Subscriptions is only a portion 
of Your overall security solution and that 
Tenable is not responsible for Your overall 
security solution.  As between You and Tenable, 
You are (and Tenable is not) responsible for the 
success or failure of such security solution.  
Accordingly, You agree that you will, at your 
expense, indemnify, defend and hold Tenable 
harmless in all claims and actions that seek 
compensation of any kind for injury or death to 
persons and/or for damage to property, and that 
arise out of or relate to Your security solutions 
or Your use of the Plugins and Subscriptions, or 
the solutions You provide to a third party 
through Your use of the Plugins and 
Subscriptions.  You also agree to pay all 
settlements, costs, damages, legal fees and 
expenses finally awarded in all such claims and 
actions. 

13) Your Payment Obligations.
If You obtain a Direct Feed Subscription, You 
agree to pay any and all amounts due or incurred 
by You as specified in the invoice provided by 
Tenable in consideration for Your obtaining such 
Direct Feed Subscription (the "Fees").  Payment 
is due within thirty (30) days of the date of 
invoice.  You agree to pay directly or reimburse 
Tenable for any taxes (including, sales or excise 
taxes, value added taxes, landing fees, import 
duties and the like), however designated and 
whether foreign or domestic, arising out of this 
Agreement, imposed on the Plugins or the use 
thereof, or Tenable's performance under this 
Agreement.  You agree to pay Tenable's invoices 
without deducting any present or future taxes, 
withholdings or other charges except those 
deductions it is legally required to make.  If 
You are legally required to make any deductions, 
You agree to pay Tenable such amounts as are 
necessary to make the net amounts remaining after 
such deductions equal to the stated amount due 
under this Agreement.  The payments or 
reimbursements will be in such amounts as are 
sufficient to relieve Tenable from owing any 
further taxes, either directly or on the basis of 
the payments made under this Agreement.  
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Tenable will be 
solely responsible for its income tax obligations 
and all employer reporting and payment 
obligations with respect to its personnel.  You 
agree to pay any interest and penalties imposed 
by any taxing authorities to the extent such 
interest and penalties are applicable to taxes 
not paid at Your request or as a result of 
reliance by Tenable on Your representations.  If 
a certificate of exemption or similar document or 
proceeding is necessary in order to exempt any 
transaction from a tax, You will obtain such 
certificate or document.  
14) Legal Compliance; Restricted Rights.  
The Plugins and Subscriptions are provided solely 
for lawful purposes and use.  You are solely 
responsible for, and agree to perform your 
obligations in a manner that complies with all 
applicable national, regional and local laws, 
statutes, ordinances, regulations, codes and 
other types of government authority (including 
those governing export control, unfair 
competition, anti-discrimination, false 
advertising, privacy and data protection, and 
publicity and those identifying and procuring 
required permits, licenses, approvals, and other 
consents) ("Laws").  If a charge is made that You 
are not complying with any such Laws, You will 
promptly notify Tenable of such charges in 
writing.  Without limiting the foregoing, You 
agree to comply with all U.S. export Laws and 
applicable export Laws of Your locality (if You 
are not in the United States), to ensure that no 
information or technical data provided pursuant 
to this Subscription Agreement is exported or 
re-exported directly or indirectly in violation 
of Law or without first obtaining all required 
authorizations or licenses.  You will, at Your 
sole cost and expense, obtain and maintain in 
effect all permits, licenses, approvals and other 
consents related to Your obligations under this 
Subscription Agreement.  You agree, at Your 
expense, to comply with all foreign exchange and 
other Laws applicable to You.  The Plugins is 
licensed subject to Tenable's standard commercial 
agreement; Plugins licensed for use by the United 
States government is provided with "Restricted 
Rights" only as defined in 48 C.F.R. _52.227-14

jurisdiction of the courts of Howard County, 
Maryland and the United States District Court for

written consent.  You may use the Plugins and

parties as expressly provided in this 
Subscription Agreement.

20) Publicity.
You will not use Tenable's company name or any 
trademarks, logos, service marks or other 
intellectual property, or refer to Tenable or any 
of its employees, in any form of advertising, 
publicity or release without the prior written

in its sole discretion.  

21) Language.  
The language of this Subscription Agreement is 
English and all notices given under this 
Subscription Agreement must be in English to be 
effective.  No translation, if any, of this 
Subscription Agreement or any notice will be of 
any effect in the interpretation of this 
Subscription Agreement or in determining the 
intent of the parties.  The parties have 
expressly agreed that all invoices and related 
documents be drafted in English. 

22) Third Parties.  
This Subscription Agreement is not intended nor 
will it be interpreted to confer any benefit, 
right or privilege in any person or entity not a

has no right under any Law to enforce any term of 
this Subscription Agreement.

23) Trademarks. 
Nessus is a trademark of Tenable.  Tenable does

domain names, slogans and other source 
identifiers) (collectively, the "Marks"). 

24) General.  
This Subscription Agreement constitutes the 
entire agreement between the parties, and 
supersedes all other prior or contemporaneous 
communications between the parties (whether 
written or oral) relating to the subject matter 
of this Subscription Agreement. No supplement, 
modification or amendment of this Subscription 
Agreement shall be binding, unless executed in 
writing by a duly authorized representative of 
each party to this Subscription Agreement.  The 
provisions of this Subscription Agreement will be 
deemed severable, and the unenforceability of any 
one or more provisions will not affect the 
enforceability of any other provisions.  In 
addition, if any provision of this Subscription 
Agreement, for any reason, is declared to be 
unenforceable, the parties will substitute an 
enforceable provision that, to the maximum extent 
possible under applicable law, preserves the 
original intentions and economic positions of the 
parties.  No failure or delay by a party in 
exercising any right, power or remedy will 
operate as a waiver of that right, power or 
remedy, and no waiver will be effective unless it 
is in writing and signed by the waiving party.  
If a party waives any right, power or remedy, the 
waiver will not waive any successive or other 
right, power or remedy the party may have under 
this Subscription Agreement.  Any provision of 
this Subscription Agreement that imposes or 
contemplates continuing obligations on a party 
will survive the expiration or termination of 
this Subscription Agreement.  "Including" and its 
derivatives (such as "include" and "includes") 
mean including without limitation; this term is 
as defined, whether or not capitalized in this 
Subscription Agreement.
