Software may be used under such internal use license only for purposes of: (i) testing the Software for the purpose of incorporating and/or embedding the Software with current and future ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ products and services, (ii) demonstrating the Software to prospective licensees and such demonstrating shall, for purposes of this Agreement, be considered as internal use, (iii) conducting internal training for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Affiliate employees and delivering training to current and potential third-party licensees of AspenTech software, provided that they do not access or use an ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Affiliate copy of the Software, (iv) providing professional services/consulting to licensees, (v) developing interfaces and integration, and (vi) otherwise exercising rights and fulfilling obligations under this Agreement. Each such license shall be royalty free except for the license specified in clause (iv) above, which shall be subject to license fees mutually agreed to by the parties. Except as may be set forth above, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and its Affiliates may not use the Software licensed hereunder pursuant to an internal use license in a production environment in any way and may not access or provide Software to third parties on a hosting, service bureau or time-sharing basis. To the extent tokens are necessary for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to exercise the above rights, AspenTech shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with access to such tokens at no charge, except as described above with respect to clause (iv). Each license shall extend to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, its Affiliates, and contractors and consultants providing services to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Affiliates. For the avoidance of doubt, the license described above does not include the rights to source code.

b. OEM Licenses. AspenTech hereby grants to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ a non-exclusive right to distribute OEM Software licenses to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ clients in OEM Transactions in the sole discretion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, subject to the requirements set forth in this Agreement. OEM licenses include the right to sublicense and distribute any then-current version of Software at any time by embedding the Software in or incorporating Software with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hardware, software, services, or systems and providing the combined product or service to a client or other third party in accordance with Exhibit E - OEM Terms. OEM licenses shall also extend to standalone versions of the Software which are distributed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on a standalone OEM or white-labeled basis; provided the parties have mutually agreed upon the Software that may be distributed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ on a standalone OEM or white-labeled basis.

c. Sell-Through and Fulfillment Licenses. AspenTech hereby grants to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ a non-exclusive right to distribute and sublicense Software obtained by way of Sell-Through Orders and/or Fulfillment Orders to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ clients in accordance with Exhibit F - Channel Terms.

Replacement License Keys or Dongles. AspenTech shall issue replacement license keys or dongles so ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may use the Software on additional SLM Servers or move the Software from one SLM Server or computer to another, with no change in the license scope. Within [***] of the date a replacement license key or dongle is issued, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ must delete the original license key or return the original dongle to AspenTech, as applicable. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ loses a dongle, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ must give prompt email notice of the lost dongle to AspenTech Customer Care and must promptly return the dongle if and when it is found.

3.	SMS. AspenTech will provide all SMS to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ for all internal use licenses granted hereunder. Except as provided for in this Agreement, AspenTech will not provide SMS directly to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ clients.

K-22

To receive SMS, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ must designate a system administrator who is familiar with the Software. For AspenTech to troubleshoot in real time Software performance problems identified by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ must provide AspenTech remote access to the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ system via an electronic medium approved by AspenTech. AspenTech has no responsibility to provide SMS to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to the extent prevented by the failure of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to provide such access.

Title. Title to, ownership of, and all rights in patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other intellectual property rights in Software do not transfer to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and (except for the non-exclusive rights granted to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ hereunder) shall remain in AspenTech and/or AspenTech's third-party vendors and licensors.

5.	Benchmarking - Third Parties. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may not engage a third party to perform benchmarking or security testing on the Software unless that third party enters into a written nondisclosure agreement directly with AspenTech.

6.	[RESERVED]

Confidentiality. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall protect Proprietary Information to the same degree ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ protects its own proprietary information, but with no less than a reasonable degree of care, and in any event shall not use it in any way other than as permitted under this Agreement, or disclose it or permit access thereto to any third party (other than permitted ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Affiliates, contractors or consultants or as permitted under this Agreement) without AspenTech's prior written consent, manually signed by an executive officer assigned to AspenTech's headquarters, and subject to the limitations stated herein. If such consent is granted, such third parties shall not be regarded as licensees of AspenTech nor as sublicensees of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.

8.	Models. Any and all models (including simulation models) created by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or an ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Affiliate with the Software shall be owned solely and exclusively by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Affiliate and may, at the discretion of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, be distributed to third parties.

▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Confidential Information. AspenTech acknowledges and agrees that in the course of this Agreement, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may provide AspenTech with confidential information of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its clients (including clients who are AspenTech licensees). If AspenTech obtains any such confidential Information, AspenTech shall not provide or otherwise disclose it to any third party and shall restrict any and all use of the information solely as necessary to verify compliance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ with the terms of this Agreement.

10.

Copying. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may make archival or back-up copies of Software as reasonably required by the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ network security protocol, provided that all copyright and proprietary notices must be duplicated on each such copy. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not make any other copies. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not remove any copyright notice of AspenTech or its third-party vendors.

11.

Interoperability. If applicable law requires that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ be able to modify Software to make it inter-operable with other software, AspenTech will, at its option: (i) at the expense of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, use commercially reasonable efforts to make the Software inter-operable with such other software, or license ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ tools and/or information to make the Software inter-operable; or (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ the right to make such modifications only to the extent required by law. Any such permitted modifications will constitute Software for purposes of this Agreement.

12.

Prohibition Against Reverse Engineering. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not, nor attempt to, reverse compile, disassemble or otherwise reverse-engineer the Software. The Software may include calculation routines that mimic the operation of plants, processes and/or equipment that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may use to create or augment models of plants, processes or equipment. Such models created or augmented using Software may not be used in machine learning analytics or to reverse-engineer Software in any manner, including by using data processed in Software for the purpose of training any type of third-party artificial intelligence program.

K-23

13.

Restricted Uses. Software may not be used to develop any platforms or programs that have features or functionality similar to the features or functionality of the Software. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may not make any modifications or enhancements to the Software, create any derivative works of Software, or merge or separate Software or any component thereof, including by attempting to train artificial intelligence programs.

13.1 While ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ may only use Proprietary Information as permitted under this Agreement, AspenTech acknowledges and agrees that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is in the business of developing products with the same or similar functionality as the Software and that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ access to and use of the Software as permitted herein shall not, in and of itself, prohibit ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ or its Affiliates from developing their own software that may have the same or similar functionality as the Software, subject to the terms of Section 4.6 (Non-Compete) of the Stockholders Agreement of the Transaction Agreement.

14.

Security. Software may contain license management technology that must be activated in order for the Software to function, and may include a hardware lock device, license administration software, and/or a license authorization key to control access to the Software and identify and deter any use of the Software in violation of this Agreement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not take any action to knowingly modify or avoid or defeat the purpose of any such license management technology. Use of the Software without any required lock device or authorization key is prohibited. AspenTech reserves the right to embed a software security mechanism within the Software to collect, store and transmit to AspenTech or its agent, data relating to the usage of an unauthorized or illegal copy of the Software, including, without limitation, information about the device(s) and location(s) where an unauthorized or illegal copy of the Software is used, the number of times it has been copied, and specific user information of the user of an unauthorized or illegal copy of the Software, such as the username or email address of such unauthorized user. Provided AspenTech complies with all applicable data collection and use laws then in effect, ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ consents to such collection and transmission of data, as well as its use if an unauthorized or illegal copy is detected.

15.

Third-Party Software. ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall not (i) separate any embedded third-party software or its components from the Software, (ii) use any such third-party software or its components independently of the Software; (iii) develop and link ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ programs with any third-party libraries or classes provided with Software; or (iv) develop or use any runtime configuration tools not provided with Software for the purpose of configuring any third-party runtime components embedded in Software.

16.

Expiration or Termination. Upon expiration or termination of a license, the right of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to use Software under such expired or terminated license shall end and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ shall promptly: (i) return to AspenTech all Software and Proprietary Information and all copies thereof under such expired or terminated license, (ii) except for archival copies, erase all Software under such expired or terminated license from the memory of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ computer(s) and storage devices or render it non-readable, (iii) return all dongles provided by AspenTech for such expired or terminated license, and (iv) certify in writing that ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has satisfied its obligations under this Section 16.

17.

Warranty of No Defects. AspenTech warrants that Software will be free from Defects when delivered. To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, the exclusive remedy and AspenTech's sole obligation will be to correct or circumvent any Defect reported to AspenTech that causes and continues to cause a system-critical disruption of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ business operations; provided, however, that: (i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ must report any Defects to AspenTech promptly after discovery and furnish AspenTech with supporting documentation and details adequate to substantiate the report and assist AspenTech in the identification and detection of such Defect; and (ii) AspenTech is able to reproduce the Defect on properly functioning equipment controlled by AspenTech. This warranty is contingent upon: (x) use of Software in accordance with this Agreement; and (y) no interference from applications, derivative works, or configurations provided by third parties and not specifically recommended by AspenTech.

18.	Disclaimer. ASPENTECH DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. ASPENTECH DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

THIRD PARTIES. SOFTWARE MAY CONTAIN FUNCTIONALITY SUPPLIED BY THIRD PARTIES. INCLUDING DEVELOPERS, VENDORS, SUPPLIERS, CONTRACTORS, OR CONSULTANTS. WHILE ASPENTECH SHALL REMAIN RESPONSIBLE FOR ALL OF THE SOFTWARE, INCLUDING ALL FUNCTIONALITY SUPPLIED BY THIRD PARTIES, IN NO EVENT WILL SUCH THIRD PARTIES BE LIABLE FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, OR ANY DAMAGES ARISING FROM THIS AGREEMENT. SUCH THIRD PARTIES ARE BENEFICIARIES OF SOFTWARE LICENSES GRANTED TO ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

20.	Warranty of No Infringement. AspenTech represents and warrants to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ that the Software and its use as provided for herein does not, to the knowledge of AspenTech, infringe the intellectual property rights of any third party.

21.

Infringement Indemnity. AspenTech will defend ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Affiliates, and each of their respective successors and assigns, officers, directors, employees, representatives, agents, contractors, customers, and consultants (“▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ Indemnitees”) against any claims of infringement by any of the Software in the form received from AspenTech of any third party's intellectual property rights and AspenTech will indemnify and hold harmless the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ lndemnitees from and against all damages, losses, assessments, penalties, fines, liabilities, costs and expenses awarded against any of the ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ lndemnitees In any such claim, provided that: (i) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ promptly (and in no event more than ten days after receiving written notice of such alleged infringement) notifies AspenTech's General Counsel in writing; (ii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ gives AspenTech the right to control the defense of such claims; and (iii) ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ fully cooperates with AspenTech (at the cost and expense of AspenTech) in any defense or settlement of such claims. AspenTech has no infringement indemnification obligation except as stated in this Section 21, and this obligation does not apply to infringement arising from: (x) integration or combination of Software together with other software, materials or products not integrated or combined by AspenTech or not specifically recommended by AspenTech in the Software specifications, if the infringement would have been avoided in the absence of such integration or combination; (y) use of the Software for other than its intended purpose; or (z) use of other than the current, unaltered Release if the infringement would have been avoided by the use of such Release and provided AspenTech has made available such Release and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ has had a reasonable period of time to implement such Release.

22.

Remedy. In addition to AspenTech’s indemnification obligations under Section 21, the sole and exclusive remedy of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ if a court of competent jurisdiction determines that Software has infringed a third party's U.S. intellectual property rights as specified in Section 21 will be that AspenTech will, in its sole discretion and at its sole cost and expense: (i) replace the infringing Software product with a non-infringing, functionally-compatible product; (ii) modify the product so that it becomes non-infringing, but functionally-compatible; or (iii) obtain a license for ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ to use the allegedly infringing product.

23.

Verification. During normal business hours at any time while this Agreement is in effect, AspenTech may, upon reasonable written notice to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and not more than once in each consecutive twelve-month period, examine computer names/usernames/departments and location information found on each SLM Server to confirm and verify that usage of Software by ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is in compliance with this Agreement. Such examination shall be performed at AspenTech's expense and conducted in a manner not to impact the business operations of ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ and subject to ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ rules and policies for on-site visitation.

Exhibit G - Exception Review Process

This Exception Review Process set forth in this Exhibit G (“ERP”) shall govern the registration and reporting process for Channel Order opportunities pursued by Emerson under this Agreement that are not Standard Opportunities and will define the sales engagement scenarios and eligibility for license commissions to be paid, or discounts offered, for Channel Orders. This ERP is intended to minimize channel conflicts between the AspenTech and Emerson sales teams and provide a simple and efficient process for deal validation and sales ownership. The order of precedence in case of conflict between the other provisions of this Agreement and the ERP will be the other provisions of this Agreement and then the ERP. For purposes of clarification, the ERP shall not apply to Standard Opportunities, OEM Transactions, distribution by Emerson of the [***] (including the [***] Bundles) or to Fulfillment Orders.

For Channel Orders that are not Standard Opportunities or Fulfillment Orders, Emerson shall register the opportunity at the AspenTech Deal Registration portal located at ▇▇▇▇▇://▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇▇.▇▇▇/▇_▇▇▇▇▇ and provide AspenTech such information as reasonably required by AspenTech to track pipeline and confirm payment and for forecasting and booking purposes.

2.	If the registered opportunity is accepted by AspenTech (each a “Registered Exception Opportunity” or “REO”), the following process will, unless otherwise mutually agreed by the parties in writing, be followed by AspenTech Partner Operations.

•	Validate that the information in the REO is complete.

•	Categorize the REO as a Standard Opportunity.

•	AspenTech’s ERP Governance team will review and take the request into AspenTech’s A&A (Authorization and Approval) process and shall schedule a meeting between the AspenTech ERP Governance team and the Emerson team to establish a detailed path forward and define escalation paths.

•

For each REO, (i) AspenTech shall document and, no later than [***] following the end of the quarter in which the REO is issued, provide Emerson with a written summary of the anticipated benefits to AspenTech for Emerson to pursue the subject Channel Order, (ii) maintain such documentation in accordance with AspenTech’s record retention policies, and (iii) a license agreement will be required between AspenTech and Emerson for each transaction with any resulting negotiated difference from a Standard Opportunity.

2.1	Each REO will remain an REO until the earliest of the following events.

•	The client declines to enter into a license agreement with AspenTech or Emerson. Emerson withdraws the REO.

•

The REO has been registered for [***], unless (a) the registration is extended in writing by the parties or (b) a Software license proposal has been submitted to the client and is still pending, in which case the REO will renew for successive additional [***] periods pending response from the client on such proposal.

2.2.

[***]

3.	If the registered opportunity is rejected by AspenTech, AspenTech will notify Emerson in writing of the rejection and the basis for the rejection, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will not pursue the opportunity unless it may be pursued as a Standard Opportunity.

Exhibit H - Joint Development

The parties will explore opportunities to work together to develop mutually beneficial new or enhanced solutions or interfaces between their products. The output of a successful exploration will be a separate written joint development agreement having terms and conditions mutually agreed upon by the parties.

2.	To the extent a new product is developed under any such joint development agreement, and if the parties mutually agree that such new product will be owned by AspenTech, such product will automatically be subject to the terms of this Agreement.

AspenTech shall own all intellectual property rights in new applications/solutions developed by or on behalf of AspenTech using the Software. For the avoidance of doubt, Emerson shall own all intellectual property rights in new applications/solutions developed by or on behalf of Emerson (i) for use with the Software or (ii) using development or configuration tools or features of the Software (it being understood that AspenTech shall retain ownership of all intellectual property rights in the Software and any derivatives thereof).

4.	The parties have identified the following additional activities, among others, as potential candidates for consideration, and may agree to pursue other activities under this Agreement.
