1. Rights. End User may (1) use the Illinois Software only as an integral component of the NP-View; (2) make copies of the NP-View for back-up or archival purposes only (provided that all notices are included as specified in Section 4 below); and (3) End User may use the NP-View for its internal business purposes only, and will not sublicense, redistribute, or otherwise allow third parties to use them directly or indirectly, whether on a time sharing, remote job entry or service bureau arrangement. Any use of the NP-View beyond these limitations will be subject to NP’s prior written consent and payment of the applicable fees.

2. Ownership. All patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other proprietary rights in or related to the Illinois Software are and will remain the exclusive property of University, whether or not specifically recognized or perfected under applicable law.

7. UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL UNIVERSITY BE LIABLE FOR CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR LOST PROFITS, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, BASED ON CLAIMS OF END USER OR ANY OTHER PARTY ARISING OUT OF BREACH OR FAILURE OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION,
