1. Product Usage.

a. Grant of On-Prem Subscription. Subject to Customer’s ongoing compliance with the terms of the Agreement (including timely payment of all applicable fees, including fees associated with any service or support set forth on an applicable Order Form), if the applicable Order Form indicates that Customer is purchasing an On-Prem Subscription (or to the extent that the Subscription purchased by Customer is a hybrid On-Prem Subscription and Hosted Subscription), Absolute grants to Customer a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable right and license, during the applicable Subscription Term, to install and use the server component and the client component of the Software as an integrated product solely for Customer’s internal business purposes.

b. Grant of Hosted Subscription. Subject to Customer’s ongoing compliance with the terms of the Agreement (including timely payment of all applicable fees, including fees associated with any service or support set forth on an applicable Order Form):

i. If the applicable Order Form indicates that Customer is purchasing a Hosted Subscription (or to the extent that the Subscription purchased by Customer is a hybrid On-Prem Subscription and Hosted Subscription), Absolute: (A) grants to Customer a limited, non-transferable, non-exclusive, revocable right and license, during the applicable Subscription Term, to install and use the client component of the Software solely for Customer’s internal business purposes in connection with its use of the Hosted Service; and (B) will provide the Hosted Service to Customer during the applicable Subscription Term to allow its Authorized Users to access and use the Hosted Service solely for Customer’s internal business purposes in connection with its use of the Software.

ii. Absolute will provide the Hosted Service to Customer in accordance with the applicable Service Level Agreement available at Secure Access Cloud SLA or Secure Access Government Cloud SLA. For greater certainty, the foregoing Service Level Agreements apply only to the Hosted Service through which Customer accesses the Secure Access Products.

iii.Without limiting any of Customer’s other obligations in this Addendum or the Agreement, Customer acknowledges that at no time shall Customer be entitled to download, distribute, copy, modify, install or otherwise redistribute the server component of the Software.

iv. Customer acknowledges that during each calendar month during the Subscription Term, Customer may use a maximum of 10 GiB of egress data multiplied by the total number of Devices for which Customer has Hosted Subscriptions under the Order Form. For example, if Customer has a Hosted Subscription for 100 Devices, Customer may use a maximum of 1000 GiB of egress data during each calendar month during the Subscription Term. For greater certainty, the foregoing usage limit is not cumulative and will not carry-over to subsequent months if Customer uses less than the usage limit in a particular month. In the event that Customer exceeds the foregoing usage limit, Absolute reserves the right to charge Customer applicable fees for such excessive usage at Absolute’s then-prevailing rate per GiB of egress data.

If Customer has a valid On-Prem Subscription or Perpetual Subscription (or a hybrid On-Prem Subscription and Hosted Subscription), Customer may install and use one copy of the server component of the Software on each server Customer has a Subscription for under the applicable Order Form. Customer agrees that, if Customer is purchasing only a Hosted Subscription under the applicable Order Form, at no time shall Customer be entitled to download, distribute, copy, modify, install or otherwise redistribute the server component of the Software.

f. Installation and Use of Client Component. Customer may only install the client component of the Software on the number of Devices up to the total number of Subscriptions under the applicable Order Form. Notwithstanding the foregoing, if Customer has purchased Subscriptions that are based on per-user usage (rather than per-Device usage), Customer may only permit up to the total number of Authorized Users specified in the applicable Order Form to install and use the client component of the Software on Devices used by such Authorized Users, subject to any restrictions set forth in the Documentation or the applicable Order Form, including relating to the maximum number of Devices permitted per Authorized User.

Customer agrees to: (i) provide Absolute written certification of the number of copies of the Software installed or used on request, and (ii) allow Absolute to audit Customer's premises and systems for compliance with this Addendum during regular business hours. Absolute will pay for the cost of the audit unless the audit shows a discrepancy in the number of copies of the Software used over the licenses Customer has acquired, in which event, Customer shall pay for the cost of the audit.

3. Support. Absolute will provide Customer with the level of maintenance and support identified in the applicable Order Form.
