violation of this EULA.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, Sefton may at its discretion issue a general
press release announcing the existence of this EULA and identify End User by
name as a End User of Sefton.
(c) Governing Law. This EULA shall be governed by and construed solely and exclusively in
accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, USA, without regard to its
conflict of law principles or any other principles that would result in the
application of another body of law. If
any provision of this EULA is found void or unenforceable, the Parties agree
that the remainder of this EULA shall continue to bind the Parties. The application of the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods is expressly
excluded. Except for actions taken pursuant to Section 8(a):
(i) for End Users located in the United States: any and all
claims, disputes or controversies arising under or in connection with this EULA
shall be brought solely and exclusively in the state or federal courts located

final forum for any resolution of any disputes between the Parties.
Both Parties hereby irrevocably consent to the jurisdiction
of such courts and waive any objections thereto. Both Parties hereby irrevocably consent to
service of process for all actions in such courts. Any judgments obtained by such courts may be
entered and enforced against each Party in any jurisdiction wherever such Party
or its assets are located
(ii) for End Users located outside the United States, any
and all claims, disputes or controversies arising under or in connection with
this EULA shall be submitted to binding arbitration with a single arbitrator
under the then-current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association ("AAA"). The arbitrator shall be mutually agreed upon by the
Parties, or, if the Parties cannot agree upon an arbitrator within five (5)
business days following the receipt of an arbitration demand by the
non-demanding Party, then the AAA shall select the arbitrator. The arbitration shall be conducted in the
English language, and all documents shall be submitted in English or with an
English translation. The arbitrator
shall submit a written report to the Parties, detailing the basis for any
arbitration award.
The arbitration shall be held in Chicago, Illinois, USA. The Parties shall equally share the cost of
the administration of the arbitration, including paying the fees of the
arbitrator. Any decision rendered by the
arbitrator shall be binding, final and conclusive upon the Parties, and a
judgment thereon may be entered in, and enforced by, any court having
jurisdiction over the Party against which an award is entered or the location
of such Party's assets, and the Parties hereby irrevocably waive any objection
to the jurisdiction of such courts based on any ground, including without
limitation, improper venue or forum non-conveniens. The Parties and the arbitrator shall be bound
to maintain the confidentiality of this EULA, the dispute and any award, except
to the extent necessary to enforce any such award. The prevailing Party, if a
Party is so designated in the arbitration award, shall be entitled to recover
from the other Party its costs and fees, including attorneys' fees, associated
with such arbitration.
(d) Confidentiality: It is expected that the Parties will
disclose to each other certain confidential information ("Confidential Information")

other's Confidential Information. All

disclosed to the other Party ("Recipient") shall remain the sole property of
the Disclosing Party (or its licensors), which shall own all rights, title, interest
and Intellectual Property Rights therein. Only information which is identified as confidential pursuant to the
next paragraph shall be deemed Confidential Information hereunder, except that
End User agrees and acknowledges that the Services and the Sefton System
constitute Sefton's Confidential Information.
A Disclosing Party may designate information as confidential
by:
(a) marking written information or other physical media as
"Confidential" prior to disclosure;
(b) indicating in the visual display of a program that the
program is confidential;
(c) identifying oral information as confidential at the time
of disclosure to Recipient, or
(d) notifying the Recipient in writing prior to disclosure
that certain specifically identified types of information are considered to be
confidential.
Except as expressly allowed in this EULA, the Recipient
agrees not to duplicate in any manner the Disclosing Party's Confidential
Information or to disclose it to any third party or to any of Recipient's
employees not having a need to know same to implement this EULA. The Recipient shall ensure that any such
third party or employee is bound by written confidentiality provisions at least
as restrictive as those contained in this EULA. Each Recipient agrees to keep the Disclosing Party's Confidential
Information in a safe and secure place; protect it from unauthorized use or
disclosure, and monitor access to it. Recipient shall use the Disclosing Party's Confidential Information
solely for the implementation of this EULA and for no other purpose, whether
for Recipient's own benefit or the benefit of any third party.
Recipient's obligations to maintain confidentiality shall not
apply to information which Recipient can prove: (i) is or becomes a part of the
public domain; (ii) was in Recipient's lawful possession prior to the
disclosure and had not been subject to limitations on disclosure or use; (iii)
is entirely independently developed by Recipient without any knowledge or
reference to the Confidential Information of the other Party; (iv) is lawfully
disclosed hereafter to Recipient, without restriction, by a third party who did
not acquire the information from the Disclosing Party; or (v) is disclosed to
the minimum required by a court of competent jurisdiction after Recipient has
obtained a protective order therefore, if available.

regulations, ordinances, or rules relating to its duties, obligations and
performance under this EULA. Without
limiting the generality of the foregoing, End User shall comply with all
applicable U.S. export laws, in its use of the Sefton System and in performing its obligations
under this EULA. End User shall not
export or re-export, or request Sefton to export or re-export, directly or
indirectly, any products, and/or technical disc received from Sefton, to any
country, entity or person prohibited by the U.S. Government. End User acknowledges that compliance with U.S.
export laws may cause delays and/or prohibit Sefton from exporting the Sefton
System to certain countries and entities for certain uses. In no event shall Sefton be liable for any
such delays or prohibition. In
performing its activities hereunder, End User shall also comply with, and take
the necessary steps to ensure that Sefton is in compliance with (i) the laws
and regulations of other applicable countries which prohibit export or diversion
of certain technical products to certain countries and individuals and any
other applicable law, and (ii) the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act and
Anti-Boycott Regulations.
(f) End User Indemnity. End User shall defend, indemnify and hold Sefton, its officers,
directors, employees, agents, subcontractors and suppliers (all such persons
and entities being collectively referred to as the "Sefton Indemnitees"),
harmless from and against any claim, action, suit, damages, liabilities, losses
or expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) suffered or incurred by any Sefton
Indemnitee arising from or relating to End User's breach of any of the
provisions of this EULA. The foregoing
indemnification obligation shall not apply to the extent, if any, such claims
directly and solely result from the gross negligence or willful misconduct of
any Sefton Indemnitee.
(g) Assignment. End User may not assign this EULA or
delegate any or all of its obligations hereunder to any third party without the
prior written consent of Sefton, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld
or delayed. Sefton may freely assign this EULA, or delegate any of all of its
obligations hereunder to any third party, provided that any such third party
agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of this EULA. Any attempted
assignment or delegation in violation of this Section 8(g) shall be void and
without effect.
(h) Non-Exclusivity. Neither Party is precluded from continuing its contractual commitments,
or pursuing ongoing operational or marketing activities in connection with the
sale or distribution of its products or services.
(i) Independent Contractor. The relationship of the Parties
hereunder is that of independent contractors. This EULA shall not be interpreted or construed to create an
association, agency, franchise, employment relationship, joint venture or
partnership between the Parties or to impose any partnership obligation or
liability upon any Party.
(j) Force Majeure. Except for the obligation to pay money,
non-performance by either Party shall be excused solely to the extent that
performance is rendered impossible by strike, fire, flood, earthquake, electric
or other power outages, telecommunications failures, governmental act or orders
or restrictions, failure of suppliers, or any other reasons where failure to
perform is beyond the control and not caused by the negligence or default of
the non-performing Party.
(k) Notice. All
notices and communications, required to be sent hereunder shall be sent to the
address listed on the Order Form, in writing, and shall be (i)mailed by first
class, registered or certified mail, postage paid; or (ii)delivered personally,
by overnight delivery service; or (iii)sent by facsimile, with confirmation of
receipt. All notices are effective upon

relief or injunctive relief is brought to enforce or interpret the provisions
of this EULA, the prevailing Party shall be entitled to reasonable attorneys'
fees in addition to any other relief to which the Party may be entitled.
(m) Waiver. Any waiver of compliance with any obligation,
covenant, EULA, provision or condition of this EULA or consent pursuant to this
EULA shall not be effective unless evidenced by an instrument in writing
executed by the Party to be charged. Any waiver of compliance with any such
obligation, covenant, EULA, provision or condition of this EULA shall not
operate as a waiver of, or estoppel with respect to, any subsequent or other
non-compliance.
(n) Audit Rights. During the term of this EULA, and for one (1) year thereafter, End User
shall maintain complete and accurate records regarding the activities it
performs and transactions it enters into with third parties in connection with this
EULA. Upon reasonable advance notice to
End User, Sefton, or an independent auditor reasonably acceptable to End User,
may inspect such records during End User's normal business hours in order to
confirm End User's compliance with the terms of this EULA.
(o) Severability. If any term of this EULA is held to be
unenforceable by a court of competent jurisdiction, then such court may
substitute the unenforceable term with an enforceable provision which most
nearly affects the Parties' intent in entering into this EULA as reflected in
the unenforceable provision. If the
foregoing is not possible under applicable law, then the unenforceable
provision shall be deleted and the validity or enforceability of the remainder
of this EULA shall not be affected.
9. U.S. Government End Users. The Software is a
"commercial item" as that term is defined at 48 C.F.R. 2.101, consisting of
"commercial computer software" and "commercial software documentation" as such
terms are used in 48 C.F.R. 12.212. Consistent
with 48 C.F.R. 12.212 and 48 C.F.R. 227.7202-1 through 227.7202-4, all U.S.
Government end users acquire the Software with only those rights set forth therein.
10. Third Parties. End User is hereby notified that

terms of the EULA that relate to End Users user of the Software, which provisions
are made expressly for the benefit of Adobe and Adobe Ireland and are enforceable
by Adobe and Adobe Ireland in addition to Sefton.
