Such rights include the ownership of all trade secrets, trade dress, copyrights, and other intellectual property rights pertaining to the Service to all modifications and enhancements of the Service, subject only to the rights and privileges expressly granted to you by CTS through this Agreement. In addition, the Service is presented with a distinctive "look and feel," and this "look and feel" is the proprietary property of CTS and/or its parent entity, Require Holdings, LLC. CTS and/or Require Holdings, LLC, reserves all rights in and to the Service not expressly granted under this Agreement. You must not place any claims, liens, or encumbrances on the Service. The Service is protected by U.S. copyright and other US and international laws and international treaty provisions. You may not use, copy, modify, or distribute the Service (electronically or otherwise), including the source code for any portion of the Service, or any copy, adaptation, transcription, or merged portion thereof, except as expressly authorized by CTS hereunder or otherwise in writing. You may not modify, reverse engineer, disassemble, decompile, translate, create derivative works from, or otherwise alter the Service, except where such action is necessary to develop an independent interoperable program (and in such circumstances such action shall only be permitted on the prior written consent of the General Counsel or CEO of CTS and/or Require Holdings, LLC). You may not transfer, lease, assign, rent, or sublicense the rights granted to you under this Agreement, or make the Service available for the use of other persons through your User ID.

CONFIDENTIALITY ------------------ You acknowledge that the Service has been developed by CTS and/or Require Holdings, LLC, at great expenditures of time, resources, and money and is considered proprietary and confidential by CTS and Require Holdings, LLC. Therefore, you undertake that except as needed to use the Service, you will not disclose details about the Service to any third party and will exercise the highest reasonable degree of care to safeguard the confidentiality thereof. 4. TERMINATION; ACCESS TO SERVICE --------------------------------- Either you or CTS may terminate this Agreement or your access to the Service with immediate effect by providing notice of such termination to the other party. Without limiting the foregoing, CTS may immediately terminate or suspend your access to the Service or any utility used by you to access or use the Service if your use of the Service or that utility (a) may, in CTS’s opinion, impair the ability of other users to access or use the Service, or (b) is, in CTS’s opinion, in violation of any Federal, State, local, or foreign laws, rules, regulations, and ordinances. Upon termination of this Agreement, the License granted pursuant to this End User Agreement will terminate, and you must immediately cease all access to and use of the Service through any means. Upon termination of this Agreement for any reason or upon discontinuance or abandonment of your use of the Service, you must promptly destroy all materials in your possession pertaining to the Service (including all copies thereof and any proprietary software CTS provided to you). You agree to promptly provide CTS with written certification of your compliance with the terms of this paragraph upon CTS's request. 5. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS ----------------------- You acknowledge and agree that your access to and use of the Service may be subject to applicable foreign, Federal, State and/or local laws, ordinances, rules, and regulations, including without limitation, the rules and regulations of foreign, Federal, State, and/or local agencies (each such agency, a "Regulatory Agency"). You agree to comply with all laws, ordinances, rules, regulations, and/or requirements imposed by any government or Regulatory Agency on your use, transmission, and disclosure of any Data. 6. LIMITED WARRANTY ------------------- You acknowledge that neither CTS nor any other third party partner or agent of CTS involved in the provision of the Service (each such third party, a "Third Party Provider") can ensure that the operation of, performance of, and/or access to the Service will be uninterrupted or error-free. As your exclusive remedy for any material defect in the Service provided hereunder, CTS will attempt through reasonable efforts to correct or cure any such reproducible and documented material defect. CTS will not be obligated to correct, cure, or otherwise remedy any nonconformity or defect in the Service if: (a) caused by software or other equipment used by you which has not been provided by CTS; (b) you have made any changes whatsoever to the Service; (c) the Service has been misused or damaged in any respect; or (d) you have not reported to CTS the existence and nature of any such nonconformity or defect promptly upon discovering it. CTS does not and cannot control the flow of data to or from the Service, as such flow depends in large part on the performance of computer hardware and Internet services and software provided or controlled by third parties (including you), on the public Intranet infrastructure, and on other events beyond the reasonable control of CTS. At times, action or inaction of third parties, hardware/software problems with the public Internet infrastructure or with your computing equipment, or other events beyond the reasonable control of CTS can impair or disrupt your connection to the Service. Save as specified in the foregoing paragraph, CTS will not be liable for any such interruptions in your ability to access the Service resulting from or related to such services, software, or events. You acknowledge and agree that CTS shall not be responsible for the content of Data or the modification, use or publication of Data by you or any other participant or third party. CTS shall not be responsible for the accuracy, nature, content or completeness of information obtained by you from the Service. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE SERVICE IS LICENSED TO YOU "AS-IS," AND CTS AND REQUIRE HOLDINGS, LLC, DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED PROMISES, REPRESENTATIONS, AND WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICE, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, ITS CONDITION, CONFORMITY TO ANY REPRESENTATION OR DESCRIPTION, ITS COMPATIBILITY WITH ALL EQUIPMENT AND SOFTWARE CONFIGURATIONS, THE EXISTENCE OF ANY LATENT OR PATENT DEFECTS, ANY NEGLIGENCE, WARRANTIES OF TITLE, AGAINST INFRINGEMENT, AND ITS MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR USE OR PURPOSE. SOME STATES DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OF IMPLIED WARRANTIES, SO THE ABOVE EXCLUSIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. THIS WARRANTY GIVES YOU SPECIFIC LEGAL RIGHTS, AND YOU MAY ALSO HAVE OTHER RIGHTS THAT VARY FROM STATE TO STATE. 7. DATA ------- You acknowledge that the transmission of data via the Service is subject to the likelihood of human and machine errors, omissions, delays, and losses (including but not limited to viruses or inadvertent loss of data or damage to media) that may give rise to loss or damage. CTS will not be liable for any such errors, omissions, delays, or losses, except to the extent caused by its gross negligence or willful misconduct (and subject to all other terms and conditions of this Agreement). 8. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY -------------------------- IN NO EVENT WILL CTS OR REQUIRE HOLDINGS, LLC (INCLUDING ITS CURRENT AND FORMER SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUBSIDIARIES) OR ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER BE LIABLE TO YOU IN RELATION TO THIS AGREEMENT FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, LOSS OF BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, LOSS OF REVENUES OR SAVINGS, LOSS OF DATA OR COSTS OF RECREATING LOST DATA) WHETHER BASED ON CONTRACT, TORT OR ANY OTHER LEGAL THEORY, EVEN IF CTS AND/OR REQUIRE HOLDINGS, LLC, HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THIS LIMITATION UPON DAMAGES AND CLAIMS IS INTENDED TO APPLY WITHOUT REGARD TO WHETHER OTHER PROVISIONS OF THIS AGREEMENT HAVE BEEN BREACHED OR HAVE BEEN HELD TO BE INVALID OR INEFFECTIVE. FURTHER, THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY OF CTS AND/OR REQUIRE HOLDINGS, LLC (INCLUDING ITS CURRENT AND FORMER SHAREHOLDERS, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AGENTS, OR SUBSIDIARIES) AND ANY THIRD PARTY PROVIDER TO YOU IN RELATION TO THIS AGREEMENT WILL NOT IN ANY EVENT EXCEED THE AGGREGATE AMOUNT OF ONE THOUSAND DOLLARS ($1,000.00). THE FOREGOING NOTWITHSTANDING, NOTHING IN THIS AGREEMENT SHALL EXCLUDE OR OTHERWISE LIMIT ANY LIABILITY FOR (A) PERSONAL INJURY OR DEATH CAUSED DIRECTLY BY THE GROSS NEGLIGENCE OF CTS OR A THIRD PARTY; OR (B) FRAUDULENT MISREPRESENTATION; OR (C) WILLFUL MISCONDUCT. THE FOREGOING LIMITATIONS ARE A FUNDAMENTAL PART OF THE BASIS OF THE BARGAIN HEREUNDER. 9. REMEDY --------- You acknowledge that your breach of any of the provisions of this Agreement may cause immediate and irreparable harm to CTS for which CTS may not have an adequate remedy in money or damages. CTS and/or Require Holdings, LLC, will, therefore, be entitled to obtain an injunction against such breach from any court of competent jurisdiction immediately upon request and will be entitled to recover from you the costs incurred in seeking such an injunction. This right to obtain injunctive relief will not limit the right to seek or obtain further remedies. 10. JURISDICTION ---------------- This Agreement is governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the State of Georgia, United States of America, without regard to conflict of law rules. You, CTS, and Require Holdings, LLC: (a) consent to any claim be submitted to binding arbitration by the Henning Arbitration and Mediation Service located in Atlanta, Georgia, under its then current commercial arbitration rules, and (b) consent that the demand for arbitration and any other document or notice required or permitted by this Agreement or the above-referenced rules may be served within or without the State of Georgia by any method of delivery that requires a signature to effectuate delivery to the intended recipient. 11. ASSIGNMENT -------------- You may not assign, novate or otherwise transfer any rights or obligations under this Agreement without the prior written consent signed by either the General Counsel or CEO of CTS. Any attempted or purported assignment, delegation or other transfer by you without such consent shall be void. 12. SURVIVAL ------------ All provisions of this Agreement which expressly or by implication continue to govern the parties' rights and obligations after termination of use of the Service shall survive notwithstanding completion of any transaction or project in connection with which the Service is used. 13.

CTS will notify you of any such material modification by posting a notice on the Service that CTS has so modified the End User License Agreement.
