IMPORTANT.  PLEASE READ CAREFULLY: This License Agreement (“Agreement”) constitutes a legal agreement between you, a business entity or individual end-user, and Kynex, Inc. (“Kynex”) for access via assigned ID(s) and password(s) to the Kynex Tool as such term is defined below.  By clicking the “I Agree” button below, or by otherwise using or accessing the Kynex Tool, you agree to be bound by the provisions of this Agreement.  If you do not agree to the provisions of this Agreement, you may not access or use the Kynex Tool.

 Nature of Kynex Tool; Registration. Kynex has developed a proprietary suite of software tools used to analyze and model financial scenarios related to convertible securities, or has acquired the right from third parties to use such third parties’ proprietary software products to incorporate in such tools (the “Kynex Tool”).  Upon payment of the applicable Subscription Fees, you will be given a user ID and password for your own personal use, if you are an individual user, or for each end-user licensed to access and use the Kynex Tool, if you are a business entity purchasing access for multiple end-users.  Each user ID and password may only be used by the named individual for whom you have paid the applicable Subscription Fees (defined below).  You will be responsible for the confidentiality and use of all of your user ID(s) and password(s), and you will be held solely responsible for all unauthorized use thereof.  You must immediately notify Kynex if you become aware of the loss or theft of, or any unauthorized use of, any user IDs, passwords or the Kynex Tool.  Other than the technology constituting the Kynex Tool, you are responsible for providing, at your expense, all communication lines, hardware, software, services and other materials and technology necessary to access or use the Kynex Tool.  Kynex shall have no responsibility for any failure of such items or any failure or limitation of the Internet or other computer hardware or software.

 Fees and Payments.  You may purchase access to the Kynex Tool by contacting Kynex at 201.796.4900 or info@kynex.com.  Kynex will invoice you for all license fees and other charges (“Subscription Fees”), and all Subscription Fees are due within thirty (30) days of Kynex’s issuing the applicable invoice.  Kynex may from time-to-time revise the Subscription Fees or fee structure.  The Subscription Fees will not be adjusted for any period for which you have paid the Subscription Fees in advance.  Any fee not paid when due shall bear interest at the rate of one and one half percent (1.5%) per month or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is lower.  If you are more than forty-five (45) days past due in payment of any fees due under this Agreement, Kynex may suspend your right to use the Kynex Tool.  During any such suspension, Kynex may block all access to the Kynex Tool through any or all of your assigned user ID(s) and/or password(s).  Kynex will not reactivate an account that has been suspended for nonpayment until the balance due on the account has been paid in full, or sufficient arrangements for payment have been made that are acceptable to Kynex.  Subscription Fees will continue to accrue during any period of suspension.  Suspension of access pursuant hereto does not relieve your obligation to pay any fees owing hereunder.    

Grant of License.  In consideration of your payment of the applicable Subscription Fees, Kynex grants you the limited, nonexclusive, non-transferable, revocable right to access and use the Kynex Tool exclusively via assigned user ID(s) and password(s), exclusively for your internal business purposes, by only the number of named end-users for which you have paid the applicable Subscription Fees, all subject to and solely in accordance with this Agreement.  Except as expressly set forth herein, you may not sell, rent, lease or otherwise transfer access to the Kynex Tool nor may you modify, copy, distribute, transmit, reproduce, publish, license, transfer, sell, mirror, frame, or otherwise use any Kynex Proprietary Materials (defined below).  You may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble any portion of the Kynex Tool.  You may not alter or modify any portion of the Kynex Tool (other than user customizable functionality).  You may not reproduce, deactivate, or bypass the security devices supplied with the Kynex Tool.  You represent and warrant to Kynex that you will not use the Kynex Tool for any purpose that is unlawful or prohibited by this Agreement.
