Agreement. Performance of any obligation required by a party hereunder may be waived only by a written
waiver signed by the other party, which waiver shall be effective only with respect to the specific obligation
described therein. If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of competent jurisdiction to
be contrary to law, that provision will be enforced to the maximum extent permissible and the remaining

Rev 8-27-07
4.2 Maintenance. During any Maintenance Period and for the applicable fees, Quest shall make
available to Licensee the Maintenance Services as listed in this Section4.2. The “Maintenance Period” is
a twelve (12) month period. The first Maintenance Period begins on the date of the first invoice for the
Software and ends twelve (12) months thereafter. Each Maintenance Period shall automatically renew for
another twelve (12) months unless the renewal has been cancelled by either party giving written notice at
least sixty (60) days prior to the first day of the renewal Maintenance Period. Maintenance fees shall be
due in advance of renewal. The procedure for reinstating Maintenance Services after they have lapsed is
posted at http://support.quest.com/Maintenance_Service.asp.

Maintenance Services consist of the following:

(a) Quest shall make available to Licensee new versions and releases of the Software, including
Software corrections, enhancements and upgrades, if and when Quest makes them generally available
without charge as part of Maintenance Services for the Software.

(b) Quest shall respond to unlimited communications from Licensee that report Software failures not
previously reported to Quest by Licensee.

(c) Quest shall respond to unlimited communications from Licensee’s Technical Coordinators that
request consultation on the operational/technical aspects of the Software; provided that Quest shall have
the right to limit such responses if Quest determines, in its sole reasonable discretion, that on-site
consultation at Quest’s then-current rate is required.

(d) Licensee shall have access to Quest’s Support Web site: ‘SupportLink’ at
http://support.quest.com.

(e) Maintenance Services are available during standard support hours (“Business Hours”) as
indicated on SupportLink. Extended support may also be available for other Software.

(f) For all Software, Quest’s Maintenance Services shall be available via the Web, email, or
telephone.

(g) During Business Hours, Quest will respond within one (1) hour to a call from Licensee which
reports a critical Software condition (a “Severity Level 1 Problem”). Licensee must use commercially
reasonable efforts to provide Quest with the necessary remote access to facilitate the identification and
resolution of a Severity Level 1 Problem. Quest’s ability to identify and resolve a Level 1 Problem may be
delayed without such remote access.

(h) The initial Maintenance Period for Software developed by an entity which Quest has acquired or
merged with may, during the first year following the effective date of the acquisition or merger, be
governed by terms other than those in this Section 4.2 (a) – (g). The applicable different terms, if any,
shall be stated on Quest’s Support Web site: ‘SupportLink’ at http://support.quest.com.

4.3 Limited Warranty. Quest warrants that for a period of thirty (30) days from the initial date of
delivery (i) the media provided by Quest, if any, on which the Software is recorded will be free from
material defects in materials and workmanship under normal use, and (ii) the operation of the Software,
as provided by Quest, will substantially conform to the Documentation applicable to such Software.

THE FOREGOING WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND IN LIEU OF, AND QUEST HEREBY
DISCLAIMS, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS, STATUTORY OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, TITLE,
NON-INFRINGEMENT, INTERFERENCE WITH QUIET ENJOYMENT, SATISFACTORY QUALITY,
ACCURACY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

Licensee must report in writing any breach of the foregoing warranties to Quest during the warranty
period. Licensee’s exclusive remedy, and Quest’s sole obligation, for any such breach of warranty shall

Rev 8-27-07
be for Quest to replace defective media or to correct or provide a workaround for reproducible errors that
cause a breach of the warranty within a reasonable time considering the severity of the error and its effect
on Licensee, or, at Quest’s option, refund the license fees paid for the nonconforming Software upon
return of such Software to Quest and termination of the related license hereunder.

4.4. Usage Verification. At Quest's request, but not more frequently than annually, Licensee shall
furnish Quest with a document signed by Licensee's authorized representative verifying Licensee's usage
of the Software. Licensee will permit Quest to review Licensee's deployment and use of the Software for
compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement at Quest's expense. Any such reviews shall
be scheduled at least fifteen (15) days in advance, shall be conducted during normal business hours at
Licensee's facilities, and shall not unreasonably interfere with Licensee's business activities. If Licensee's
use of the Software is found to be greater than contracted for, Licensee will be invoiced for the
additional licenses or license upgrades (based on the applicable units of measure, e.g., servers, server
tiers or users) and the unpaid license fees shall be payable in accordance with this Agreement.
Additionally, if the unpaid fees exceed five percent (5%) of the license fees paid for the subject Software,
then Licensee shall also pay Quest's reasonable costs of conducting the audit.
