ALLOCATION OF RISK. The provisions of this Section 6 allocate risks under this Agreement between You

8.
INDEMNIFICATION
8.1
INFRINGEMENT INDEMNITY. AGFA represents it has no reason to believe that the Software infringes upon
any copyright or any other intellectual property right of any third party. In the event of a claim that the
Software infringes upon, or violates, a third party's copyright AGFA will indemnify and hold You harmless
against any action brought against You based on a claim that the unmodified Software, when used in accordance with this Agreement, infringes a European copyright, patent or other proprietary rights, and AGFA
shall pay all costs, settlements and damages finally awarded, except for consequential damages. However,
AGFA will not be obligated to indemnify or hold You harmless from any such action unless You (i) notify
AGFA in writing of any claim within 10 (ten) business days after You learn of such a claim, (ii) give AGFA
sole control of the defence and settlement thereof, (iii) provide all reasonable assistance in connection with
the defence and settlement thereof, and (iv) have not yet compromised or settled in any way any such
losses, claims or damages for which indemnity is sought. If the Software is finally adjudged to so infringe,
or in AGFA's opinion is likely to become the subject of such a claim, AGFA shall, at its sole option expense,
either (1) apply its best efforts to procure for You the right to continue using the Software, or (2) apply its
best efforts to modify or replace the Software to make it non-infringing, or, if neither (1) or (2) is commercially practicable (3) terminate this Agreement, and repay to You a portion of the License Fee equal to the
amount paid by You less reasonable depreciation. AGFA shall have no liability regarding any infringement
claim arising out of: (i) use of other than a current, unaltered release of the Software; (ii) Use of the
Software in combination with non-AGFA software, data or equipment, if the infringement was caused by
the Use of such combination; (iii) any modification or derivation of the Software not specifically authorised
in writing by AGFA; or (iv) use of third party software.
8.2
EXCLUSIVE REMEDY. The foregoing states the entire liability of AGFA and the exclusive remedy for You
with respect to infringement of any patent, copyright, trade secret or other proprietary right.
9.
CONFIDENTIALITY
9.1
CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each party acknowledges that the Confidential Information constitutes
valuable trade secrets and each party agrees that it shall use Confidential Information solely in accordance
with the provisions of this Agreement and will not disclose, or permit to be disclosed, the same, directly or
indirectly, to any third party without the other party's prior written consent. Each party agrees to exercise
due care in protecting the Confidential Information from unauthorised use and disclosure. However,
neither party bears any responsibility for safeguarding information that (i) is publicly available, (ii) already
in the other party's possession and not subject to a confidentiality obligation, (iii) obtained by the other
party from third parties without restrictions on disclosure, (iv) independently developed by the other party
without reference to Confidential Information, or (v) required to be disclosed by order of a court or other
governmental entity.
9.2
INJUNCTIVE RELIEF. In the event of actual or threatened breach of the provisions of Section 8.1, the nonbreaching party will have no adequate remedy at law and will be entitled to immediate and injunctive and
other equitable relief, without bond and without the necessity of showing actual money damages.
10.1
TERM. This Agreement will take effect on the Effective Date and will remain in force for as long as any
copyright in the Software exist, subject to termination in accordance with Article 9.2
10.2
TERMINATION. This Agreement may be terminated by AGFA upon written notice to You if (i) You fail to
pay any undisputed amount due within thirty (30) days after You have been given written notice of such
non-payment; (ii) You are in material breach of any non-monetary term, condition or provision of Agreement, which breach, if capable of being cured, is not cured within thirty (30) days after You have been given
written notice of such breach; or (iii) AGFA elects to do so in accordance with Article 6.1 or 7.1. Except for
a termination pursuant to Articles 6.1 or 7.1, no such termination will entitle You to a refund of any portion
of the License Fee. You may terminate this Agreement at any time for any reason by submitting written
notice to that effect to AGFA.
10.3
EFFECT OF TERMINATION. Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, You shall promptly
uninstall and return to AGFA the Software, any derivative works, all copies thereof, including computer
memory or storage copies, the associated Dongle, all related Documentation and all copies thereof, and any
other Confidential Information in Your possession. You shall furnish AGFA with a certificate signed by an
executive officer verifying that the same has been done. Termination or Expiration will not affect the provisions regarding the treatment of Confidential Information, provisions relating to the payment of amounts
due, or provisions limiting or disclaiming AGFA's liability, which provisions will survive termination of this
Agreement.
10.4
NON-ASSIGNMENT. Neither this Agreement nor any rights under this Agreement may be assigned or
otherwise transferred by You, in whole or in part, whether voluntary or by operation of law, including by
way of sale of assets, merger or consolidation, without the prior written consent of AGFA, which consent
will not be unreasonably withheld or delayed. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement will be binding
upon and will inure to the benefit of the parties and their respective successors and assigns.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1
WAIVER. Any waiver of the provisions of this Agreement or of a party's rights or remedies under this Agreement must be in writing to be effective. Failure, neglect, or delay by a party to enforce the provisions of this
Agreement or its rights or remedies at any time, will not be construed and will not be deemed to be a waiver
of such party's rights under this Agreement and will not in any way affect the validity of the whole or any
part of this Agreement or prejudice such party's right to take subsequent action. Except as expressly stated
in this Agreement, no exercise or enforcement by either party of any right or remedy under this Agreement
will preclude the enforcement by such party of any other right or remedy under this Agreement or that such
party is entitled by law to enforce.
11.2
SEVERABILITY. If any provision, or part of any provision, of this Agreement is invalidated by operation of
law or otherwise, that provision or part will to that extent be deemed omitted and the remainder of this
Agreement, or applicable attachment, will remain in full force and effect. In place of any such invalid provision or part thereof, the parties hereto undertake to agree on a similar but valid provision the effect of which
is as close as possible to that of the invalid provision or part thereof. If the parties fail to agree on such an
amendment, such invalid term, condition or provision will be severed from the remaining terms, conditions
and provisions, which will continue to be valid and enforceable to the fullest extent permitted by law.
11.3
STANDARD TERMS. No terms, provisions or conditions of any purchase order, acknowledgement or other
business form that You may use in connection with the licensing of the Software will have any effect on the
rights, duties or obligations of the parties under, or otherwise modify, this Agreement, regardless of any
failure of AGFA to object to such terms, provisions or conditions.
11.4
RIGHT TO AUDIT. AGFA shall have the right upon its expense to inspect compliance of You with this Agreement, upon a ten (10) working days prior written notice. Such audit shall not be more frequently than once
per year, during normal business hours by an accounting firm designated by AGFA. In the event such audit
should reveal a substantial non-compliance with this Agreement, You shall reimburse AGFA for the full outof-pocket costs in respect of any professional charges incurred for such audit or inspection, in addition to
any other right or remedy available to AGFA hereunder.
11.5
AMENDMENTS TO THIS AGREEMENT. This Agreement may not be amended, except by a writing signed
by both parties.
11.6
HEADINGS: Headings to the sections of this Agreement are for convenience only and shall not affect the
interpretation or construction of this Agreement. Use of the singular includes the plural and vice versa.
11.7
AGFA'S PRIOR CONSENT. Unless expressly provided otherwise in this Agreement, any prior consent of
AGFA that is required before You may take an action may be granted or withheld in AGFA's sole and
absolute discretion.
11.8
THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. If and insofar parts of the Software are supplied and licensed to AGFA by
Other Owners, such Other Owners are third party beneficiaries of this Agreement and are with respect to
such parts of the Software entitled to enforce directly against You the terms and conditions of this License
Agreement.
11.9
APPLICABLE LAW. This Agreement is made in Belgium and shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Belgium, excluding its rules for choice of law.
11.10 PUBLIC ANNOUNCEMENTS. You acknowledge that AGFA may desire to use Your name in press releases,
product brochures and financial reports indicating that You are a customer of AGFA, and You agree that
AGFA may use Your name in such a manner.
11.11 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement (including any addenda hereto signed by both parties) contains the

Licensing
:APOGEE Prepress is dongle-protected, using a USB dongle. The dongle is
supplied with the :APOGEE Prepress Starter Kit when you purchase your
:APOGEE Prepress System. The dongle has a serial ID number. To use :APOGEE
Prepress, you will also need a license key. The license key is a unique file that is
generated via the Agfa Licensing Portal, and is linked to your dongle ID number.
You can purchase extra licenses to enable additional functionality.
NOTE: The Satellite Server does not need a dongle, since the :APOGEE Prepress
Satellite software is registered to the :APOGEE Prepress Server System.

The server on which you install :APOGEE Prepress must have a working
network connection: If there is no network connection, the installer will fail.
Refer to the :APOGEE Prepress Service Guide for a detailed overview of these
network settings.
If you are using multiple network cards, check the network card order.
:APOGEE Prepress registers on the first network card. You should not change
the order of the network cards after installation, since this will prevent
:APOGEE Prepress from starting up.
The computer name on which you install :APOGEE Prepress should use only
the following characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9. The name should not contain spaces,
dashes, underscores, or names longer than 14 characters since some DNS
servers do not support these characters.
Have your :APOGEE Prepress dongle ready, but do not yet connect it to your
server.
When performing a new install (not an upgrade) make sure that you remove
any previous :ApogeeX or :APOGEE Prepress software (TomCat, Registration
Utility, SQL Express or Server, :APOGEE Prepress/ApogeeX Clients). Also
make sure that all apogeedatastore folders and apogee shares are removed.
NOTE: Windows 2003 platforms are not used for new installations, only for 32bit upgrades.

:APOGEE Prepress System software.
NOTE: After installing a Satellite Server, you can later install additional
components, as described in Installing/Uninstalling Individual Components
on page 42.
The :APOGEE Prepress System must be running, although it does not yet
need to be licensed.
Make sure that the :APOGEE Prepress Satellite has a working network which
allows communication with the :APOGEE Prepress Server.
Multiple Satellite Servers: You can install as many Satellite Servers as you
need, although you will need the full SQL Server license if you use more than
one Satellite Server.
Make sure that the name of the computer on which you are going to install
the Satellite uses only the characters a-z, A-Z, or 0-9. The name must not
contain dashes, underscores or spaces, since some DNS servers do not
support these characters.
You are advised to use the same Windows username and password on the
Satellite Server as on the :APOGEE Prepress Server.
When performing a new installation (not an upgrade) make sure that you
remove any previous :ApogeeX or :APOGEE Prepress software (TomCat,
Registration Utility, SQL Express or Server, :APOGEE Prepress/:ApogeeX
Clients). Also make sure that all apogeedatastore folders and apogee shares
are removed.
CAUTION: Do not try to install multiple Satellite Servers at the same time. You
