This is a legal and binding agreement between the Purchaser and HLP, INC. ("HLP"). The request of the Purchaser
for the Chameleon / CMS Software Package ("CMS") and License, and the acceptance of payment for such by HLP,
is an acceptance of these terms and conditions.
I.
GRANT OF LICENSE and USE:
HLP shall grant Purchaser this License for use of CMS at the time of payment. HLP grants no software licenses
whatsoever, either explicitly or implicitly, except by full payment for the CMS Software. This license entitles the
Purchaser the right to install CMS on a single Server unit to be used by any number of Client Workstations.
Additional Servers require additional Licenses, except as stated under Terms and Restrictions. This License
Agreement is with the designated Purchaser only. This Purchaser may not rent, lease, give, sell or in any way
transmit any part of the CMS Software Package to an unauthorized, unlicensed entity. This is a non-exclusive, non-
transferable license to the use of CMS.
II.
PAYMENT:
* Payment for CMS is defined as two parts: 1) Cost of initial License and 2) Support and Maintenance.
* The “Cost of initial License” is currently fixed at a published price and is a one-time fee.
* The “Support and Maintenance” cost is figured by the size of the Purchaser’s network, and this fee is billed
monthly, quarterly, or annually. The formula is a fixed amount for the Server plus a fixed amount for each client
workstation that uses CMS for daily operations. The amount changes as the numbers of workstations change unless
the Purchaser is paying for “unlimited” users. Annual increases in this fixed, published amount are limited to the
“cost of living index”.
* All of the above payment conditions must be met within 30 days of Invoice date in order for the Purchaser to hold
a current, valid CMS License.

* All modifications, additions, upgrades, and new versions provided for under Support and Maintenance are
considered part of this title and subject to the conditions of this License.
* Purchaser hereby acknowledges HLP's copyright of CMS regardless of whether the copyright notice appears on
CMS or whether it has been filed with the United States Copyright Office.
IV.
TERMS and RESTRICTIONS:
* The Purchaser shall receive an executable copy of CMS Software. The Purchaser may load, copy, or transmit
CMS, in whole or in part, only as is necessary for execution, backup, and hot standby.
* Purchaser may modify or merge CMS solely for execution by itself. Any part of this Software included in such
adaptations will continue to be subject to this License.
* HLP shall bill the Purchaser a Support & Maintenance FEE periodically using the formula under “Payment”. This
bill is due and payable within thirty days of receipt.
* HLP reserves the right to revoke this License if the Support & Maintenance FEE becomes delinquent and is not
remedied 30 days after notification in writing. The Purchaser shall then cease use of CMS.
* Purchaser agrees not to reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble CMS.
