Software installed on such computer. All of the Software must be installed and used on the same computer.
You may not share access to the installed Software over a network such that the installed Software can be
run on a different computer. You may change the designated computer to another computer within the
applicable single workplace, provided that none of the Software remains installed on the previous
designated computer; no more than four (4) such changes may occur per calendar year.

C. Home Usage Exception. If you are a business or other entity, the designated Named User for the applicable
license or, in the case of a computer-based license, the single individual who is the primary user of the
single computer on which the Software is installed and used, may also install and use the Software on one
(1) computer located in such user's home, provided that the use of the Software on such home computer is
limited to work performed in the scope of such person's employment with you and complies with all terms
and conditions of this Agreement. The Software must be promptly uninstalled from the individual's home
computer upon the earlier of the underlying license's expiration or termination date or the date the
individual's authority to use the Software pursuant to the underlying license terminates.

3. Additional Terms. You may have additional rights and obligations to the Software through special license types
and license programs, as set forth in addenda to this Agreement and which are incorporated as part of this

will remain obligated to pay such fees to NI.

11. Copyright; No Other Licenses. The Software is licensed and not sold. The Software, all copies of the Software,
related contents, and all rights therein, are owned by NI or its suppliers and are protected by applicable copyright
laws and international treaty provisions. All rights not expressly granted to you in this Agreement are reserved to
NI. Further, and without limiting the foregoing, no license or any right of any kind, whether by express license,
implied license, the doctrine of exhaustion, or otherwise, is granted under any NI patents (whether identified
herein or not) or other intellectual property right of NI with respect to any other product of NI or of any third party,
including the right to use any such other product.

12. Application Deployment

A. An "Authorized Application" is (i) an application that you create with a development version of the Software;
(ii) an application that you create with third party software using real-time operating system components of
the LabVIEW Real-Time Module and the LabWindows/CVI Real-Time Module in accordance with the
licenses for such modules; or (iii) an application that you create with a third party software development
environment that utilizes Driver Interface Software, if such software development environment is supported
by such Driver Interface Software as indicated in the applicable documentation for such Driver Interface
Software. "Driver Interface Software" means computer software and other code provided with this
Agreement that are listed as hardware drivers or device drivers on NI's hardware driver listing web page,
which is currently located at www.ni.com/driverinterfacesoftware, or that are added by NI at any time to such
listing or any similar successor listings, together with all accompanying documentation and utilities. In no
event, however, will the term "Driver Interface Software" ever include any Third Party Software, operating
system software, instrument driver software, application software, toolkits, modules, driver development kit
(DDK) or portion thereof, software development kit (SDK) or portion thereof, module development kit (MDK)
or portion thereof, or any software or other code designated by NI as being any of the foregoing; or any of
the foregoing's accompanying documentation or utilities.

B. Deployment and Distribution Requirements. You may distribute, deploy, or otherwise make available
Authorized Applications, along with applicable runtime engines for the Software and applicable Driver
Interface Software that you may include as part of or together with your Authorized Applications, provided
that you comply with each of the requirements set forth below.

(i) You must include the following copyright notice in the Authorized Application's About Box (if applicable)
and in any applicable written documentation or, if no such documentation exists, in a "read me" or
other .txt file distributed with each copy of the Authorized Application.

"Copyright © [insert year] National Instruments Corporation. All Rights Reserved."

You may instead, or in addition, include your own copyright notice with the notice required above, but in
no event may you remove or alter any copyright, patent, trademark, or other legal notices or disclaimers
that exist in the Software and with respect to any runtime engines for the Software and any Driver
Interface Software that you include as part of or together with your Authorized Application, your
copyright notice will be understood as protecting NI or its licensor's copyrights in the Software and will
not be understood as meaning that you have any copyright in or with respect to any Software.

(ii) You may not use NI's name, logo, or trademarks to market your Authorized Application without NI's
express prior written permission.

(iii) If you distribute to any third parties your Authorized Application with Driver Interface Software or any
runtime engine for the Software, you must either pass through to your end users this Agreement or do
so subject to your own license agreement that is substantially in accordance with this Agreement and at
least as protective of NI as this Agreement.

(iv) The Authorized Application must not consist of or include any malicious, deceptive, or unlawful
programs.

C. Fees. You may distribute, deploy, or otherwise make available Authorized Applications without paying
additional fees to NI. Provided, however, if the Authorized Application was created utilizing any of the
software identified in NI's Deployment Licenses listing web page, which is currently located at
http://zone.ni.com/devzone/cda/tut/p/id/9561, or any similar successor listings, as such listings may be
updated by NI from time to time, or such other software as NI may from time to time designate (any of the
foregoing a "Designated Deployment License"), then you must, before distributing, deploying, or otherwise
making available the Authorized Application for use on any other computer, either (i) verify that the recipient
has a valid license to run the applicable Authorized Application on, or has a valid Deployment License for,
each computer on which the Authorized Application will be used or (ii) obtain written distribution
authorization from NI and, if required by NI, pay to NI a per copy fee for each Authorized Application
distributed, deployed, or otherwise made available. In the case of any Driver Interface Software identified as
being subject to the license verification or distribution authorization requirements stated above, if the
Authorized Application utilizes, calls, or otherwise accesses any such Driver Interface Software, the
Authorized Application will be deemed to have been created utilizing such Driver Interface Software for
purposes of this Section. Unless otherwise specified by NI in writing, Designated Deployment Licenses are
computer-based licenses and the home usage exception does not apply to Designated Deployment
Licenses.

13. Patent and Trademark Notice. For patents covering National Instruments products, refer to the appropriate
location: Help»Patents in the Software, the patents.txt file included with the Software (such as on the installation
media on which the Software was distributed to you), or ni.com/patents. National Instruments, NI, ni.com, and
LabVIEW are trademarks of National Instruments Corporation. Refer to ni.com/trademarks for more information
about National Instruments trademarks. All other product and company names mentioned herein are or may be
trademarks or trade names of their respective companies.

14. Limited Warranty. NI warrants, for your benefit alone, that for a period of ninety (90) days from the date the
Software is shipped to you or, if downloaded, from the date the Software is first downloaded by you, (i) the
Software will perform substantially in accordance with the documentation that accompanies the Software and (ii)
the installation media on which NI provides the Software (if any) will be free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use and service ("Limited Warranty"). Any replacement Software will be warranted for
the remainder of the original warranty period or thirty (30) days, whichever is longer. Some jurisdictions do not
allow exclusion of or limitation on duration of an express or implied warranty or limitation on any applicable
statutory rights of a consumer, so the above limitations may not apply to you; in such event, such warranties are
limited to the minimum warranty period allowed by applicable law. The Limited Warranty is void if failure of the
Software has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, improper calibration by you, third party products
(either hardware or software) used by you that are not intended by NI for use with the Software, utilization of an
improper hardware or software key, or unauthorized maintenance of the Software.

15. Customer Remedies. NI's sole obligation, and your sole remedy, with respect to the foregoing Limited Warranty
will be to, at NI's option, repair or replace the Software or return the fees paid by you to NI for the Software
license, in which event you must return or destroy all copies of the Software in accordance with NI's instructions
and the license granted to you will terminate without liability on the part of NI by reason of such termination. NI's
obligations as set forth in this Section are contingent on you providing NI with written notice of applicable defects
during the warranty period. In addition, you must obtain a Return Material Authorization number from NI before
returning the Software under warranty to NI, and you agree to pay any expenses for shipment to and from NI.

16. No Other Warranties. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NO WARRANTY,
EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IS MADE BY NI WITH RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE OR USE OF THE
SOFTWARE. NI DOES NOT MAKE ANY WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION HEREUNDER WITH RESPECT
TO ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE, SOURCE CODE, OR SOFTWARE SERVICES. NI DOES NOT
WARRANT, GUARANTEE, OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION THAT THE SOFTWARE, THE OPERATION
OF THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY RELATED SOFTWARE SERVICES, SOURCE CODE, OR THIRD PARTY
SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE AND DOES NOT WARRANTY, GUARANTEE,
OR MAKE ANY REPRESENTATION REGARDING CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY, RELIABILITY, OR
OTHERWISE. THERE ARE NO OTHER WARRANTIES THAT MAY ARISE FROM USAGE OF TRADE OR
COURSE OF DEALING. NI DISCLAIMS ANY AND ALL IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND NON-
INFRINGEMENT, RELATING TO THE SOFTWARE AND ANY RELATED THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE,
SOURCE CODE, AND SOFTWARE SERVICES.

17. Limitations Period. You hereby agree not to bring an action to enforce your remedies under the Limited Warranty
or for breach of warranty more than one (1) year after the accrual of such cause of action.

18. Intellectual Property Liability. NI will, at its own expense, defend any claim brought against you by a third party
resulting from your use of the Software, to the extent that such claim alleges that the Software infringes any
patent, copyright, or trademark of such third party protected by the laws of the U.S.A., Canada, Mexico, Japan,
Australia, Switzerland, Norway, or the European Union and provided that such claim does not arise from (i) your
use of the Software in combination with equipment, devices, software, or code not made by NI; (ii) your use of
the Software in a manner not in accordance with this Agreement or for a purpose not intended by NI; (iii) your
failure to incorporate Software updates or upgrades provided by NI that would have avoided the alleged
infringement; or (iv) any modification of the Software not made by NI. NI's obligations in this Section are further
contingent on you notifying NI in writing promptly upon your obtaining notice of such impending claim and your
fully cooperating with NI in preparing a defense. If you provide to NI the authority, assistance, and information NI
needs to defend or settle such claim, NI will pay any final award of damages or settlement with respect to such
claim and any expense you incur at NI's written request. NI will not be liable for a settlement made without its
prior written consent. If the Software is held to be infringing of the rights stated above in this Section and the use
of the Software is enjoined, NI will, or if NI believes the Software might be held to infringe a third party's
intellectual property rights NI may, at its option, (i) procure for you the right to use the Software; (ii) replace or
modify the Software with other software that does not infringe; or (iii) receive your return of the infringing
Software and refund to you the license fee payment made by you to NI for the Software. TO THE MAXIMUM
EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, NI'S LIABILITY, THE LIABILITY OF ITS LICENSORS AND
SUPPLIERS, AND THE LIABILITY OF ITS AND THEIR DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND
AGENTS, UNDER THIS SECTION AND REGARDLESS OF THE REASON FOR SUCH LIABILITY, WILL NOT
EXCEED IN THE AGGREGATE $50,000 (U.S.). The foregoing states your sole remedy for, and NI's entire
liability and responsibility for, infringement of any patent, trademark, copyright, or other intellectual or industrial
property right relating to the Software. THIS LIMITED INDEMNITY IS IN LIEU OF ANY OTHER STATUTORY
OR IMPLIED WARRANTY AGAINST INFRINGEMENT. THE FOREGOING OBLIGATIONS WILL NOT APPLY
TO ANY THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR TO ANY THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS INCORPORATED IN OR
OTHERWISE PROVIDED WITH THE SOFTWARE, AND YOU AGREE TO LOOK TO THE APPLICABLE
THIRD PARTY MANUFACTURER WITH RESPECT TO ANY CLAIMS FOR INFRINGEMENT INVOLVING
THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE OR THIRD PARTY PRODUCTS.

19. Limitation On Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL
NI OR ITS LICENSORS, DISTRIBUTORS, OR SUPPLIERS (INCLUDING NI'S AND THEIR DIRECTORS,
OFFICERS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS) BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL,
PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING DAMAGES
ARISING FROM LOST PROFITS, LOST SAVINGS, LOST BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY, BUSINESS
INTERRUPTION, OR LOST OR CORRUPTED DATA OR SOFTWARE, EVEN IF NI OR ITS LICENSORS,
DISTRIBUTORS, OR SUPPLIERS HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES AND
REGARDLESS OF WHETHER CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF NI OR OTHERS,
AND, EXCEPT AS SET FORTH IN SECTION 18, IN NO EVENT WILL NI'S LIABILITIES UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT, WHETHER UNDER CONTRACT LAW, TORT LAW, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE, EXCEED
THE TOTAL AMOUNT RECEIVED BY NI FOR THE APPLICABLE SOFTWARE LICENSE. You acknowledge
that the applicable fees and prices reflect this allocation of risk. To the extent the foregoing limitation of liability is
not enforceable or fails of its essential purpose, except for liability for bodily injury or death caused by the
Software in the form provided by NI or any liability not capable of being excluded by applicable law, the sole
liability of NI to you under or in connection with this Agreement shall be limited to the greater of $50,000 (U.S.) or
the license fee paid to NI for the Software.

ADDENDUM B – Special License Types

Evaluation License; Pre-Release Software

If you have acquired an evaluation license, you may install and use the Software on one (1) computer in your
workplace for internal evaluation purposes only and only for the limited period of the evaluation term.

You may not distribute or transfer any applications you create with Software under an evaluation license. Any
application created with Software acquired under an evaluation license is not an Authorized Application.
You acknowledge and agree that the SOFTWARE IS EVALUATION ONLY AND MAY ALSO BE PRE-RELEASE
SOFTWARE. AS SUCH, THE SOFTWARE MAY NOT BE FULLY FUNCTIONAL AND YOU ASSUME THE ENTIRE
RISK AS TO THE RESULTS AND PERFORMANCE OF THE SOFTWARE. NI WILL NOT UPDATE THE
SOFTWARE, NOR WILL NI SUPPORT THE SOFTWARE. SOFTWARE PROVIDED UNDER AN EVALUATION
LICENSE IS PROVIDED WITHOUT WARRANTY OR OBLIGATION OF INDEMNITY ON NI. THE SOFTWARE MAY
CONTAIN CODE THAT WILL, AFTER A CERTAIN TIME PERIOD, DEACTIVATE THE SOFTWARE AND RENDER
THE SOFTWARE UNUSABLE, AND IT MAY DO SO WITHOUT WARNING. Upon such deactivation, this Agreement
will be considered terminated. NI may in its sole discretion terminate the evaluation license at any time. If the
Software consists of pre-release software and is also covered by a separate, written alpha/beta license (the "Beta
Agreement") between you and NI, the terms and conditions of the Beta Agreement, which are incorporated herein by
reference, will also apply to your use of the Software. In the event of a conflict between this Agreement and the Beta
Agreement, the terms of the Beta Agreement will control.

You agree to use reasonable efforts to provide feedback to NI regarding your use of the Software, including promptly
reporting to NI errors or bugs that you might find. Any such feedback you disclose to NI, including any changes or
suggested changes to NI's current or future products and services (collectively "Feedback"), will be received and
treated by NI on a non-confidential and unrestricted basis, notwithstanding any restrictive or proprietary legends to
the contrary accompanying or otherwise associated with the Feedback. You hereby grant to NI a worldwide, royalty-
free, non-exclusive, perpetual, and irrevocable license to use, copy, and modify Feedback for any purpose, including
incorporation or implementation of such Feedback into NI products or services, and to display, market, sublicense,

Feedback license set forth herein will survive expiration or termination of the Agreement.

Compile-Only License (Measurement Studio)

If you have acquired a Measurement Studio compile-only license, you must have also licensed a full version of
Measurement Studio under a separate license with NI. The Measurement Studio compile-only license allows you to
install the Measurement Studio Software on the number of computers in your workplace identified in the applicable
documentation provided to you by NI or its authorized affiliate, including on a network device and run concurrently,
provided that only your licensed applicable employee(s) may access or use the Measurement Studio Software on the
network device and only up to the number of licenses specified in the documentation. You may only use the
compile/build function of the Measurement Studio Software, and you may only perform that function on source code
for your Authorized Application that references the Measurement Studio libraries. In no event may you use the
Measurement Studio compile-only license for development, including writing code that creates a new instance of a
class defined in a Measurement Studio library or that calls a static method of a class defined in the Measurement
Studio library.

The home usage exception is not available for Measurement Studio under a compile-only license. Measurement
Studio under a compile-only license is not transferable.

Authorized Applications. If you are a business or other entity, you may make and install a reasonable number of
copies of the Driver Interface Software, other than NI-VISA or NI-488.2, as may be reasonably required for your
internal development of Authorized Applications. You may not make additional copies of NI-VISA and NI-488.2 except
for backup or archival purposes as expressly permitted in the Agreement or as expressly permitted by NI in writing. If
you received the Driver Interface Software from a third party with or as part of an Authorized Application, then you
may only use the Driver Interface Software with such Authorized Application.

Multiple Access License (NI-488.2 Software for GPIB-ENET)

If you have acquired a multiple access license, you may install and use the NI-488.2 Software on any number of
computers or storage devices in your workplace solely for the purpose of accessing Ethernet to GPIB controllers. The
limitation against using multiple versions of Software made available by NI on installation media or by download does
not apply to the NI-488.2 software.

You may transfer the license to a third party in the same country in which you purchased the license, or within the
European Union if you purchased the license in the European Union, provided that you notify NI in writing of such
transfer, including the name and location of such third party; such third party accepts the terms and conditions of this
Agreement; and after such transfer you do not retain any copies of the Software, including any upgrades and updates
that you may have received, nor retain any of the written materials accompanying the Software. NI may, in its
discretion, charge you a fee for the transfer.

Concurrent Use License

If you have acquired a concurrent use license, you may install the Software on any or all computers at the physical
location to which NI initially delivered the Software ("Site"). The Software may be used by all of your employees at the
Site; provided, however, in no event may the number of authorized users who are accessing or running any of the
Software at the same time exceed the maximum number of licenses you have purchased. You agree that you will
also use a NI-approved volume license manager and the license file provided by NI that controls end-user access to
the Software to ensure compliance with the foregoing.

There is no home use exception for a concurrent use license. Concurrent use licenses are not transferrable.

Debug License

If you have acquired a debug license, you must have licensed the applicable software components (identified below
as "Software Components Required") under a separate named user license, computer based license, or VLP license
with NI, in which case your applicable employee(s) may now, under the debug license, install such software
components on one (1) additional target production computer for each debug license acquired and for debug
purposes only or, in the case of a concurrent debug license, in accordance with the use restrictions applicable to
concurrent licenses and for debug purposes only.

the applicable components must be used on the same target production computer. In no event may you use
components subject to a debug license for developing new programs (e.g., test sequences/modules, virtual
instruments). Further, if you acquire any upgrade to the applicable software, your existing debug license cannot be
used with such upgrade. Rather, you must acquire a separate, "upgraded" debug license from NI for use with such
upgrade.
There is no home usage exception for debug licenses.

With the exception of concurrent debug licenses, you may transfer the debug license to a third party in the same
country in which you purchased the license or within the European Union if you purchased the license in the

any copies of the Software, including any upgrades and updates that you may have received, nor retain any of the
written materials accompanying the Software. NI may, in its discretion, charge you a fee for the transfer of the license.

ADDENDUM C - Volume License Program Terms

Volume License Program ("VLP"). The VLP is a program to assist customers in managing their licenses. The
following terms apply to the VLP.

1. The quote you obtained from NI or its authorized affiliate regarding the VLP and the VLP Startup Kit ("VLP
Documentation") is incorporated into this Agreement. In the event of a conflict between the terms and conditions
of this Agreement and the VLP Documentation, the terms and conditions of this Agreement will control.
2. Term. The VLP will be effective the date that NI sends the VLP Startup Kit to you ("VLP Effective Date"). The
initial term of the VLP will start on the VLP Effective Date and continue for a period of one (1) year (the "Initial
VLP Term"). You may renew the VLP for additional one (1) year periods (the Initial VLP Term and each such
renewal term each referred to herein as a "VLP Term").

3. Software under the VLP may be used by your employees only on those computers located at the physical
location to which NI delivers the Software unless otherwise specified in the VLP Documentation (the "Site"). Your
use of the Software under the VLP will, at all times during the VLP Term and thereafter, be subject to all terms
and conditions set forth in the Agreement regarding the specific type of license you have acquired under the VLP
(i.e. named user, computer-based, or concurrent).

4. You must acquire and maintain during the VLP Term the Software Services for each individual Software license
identified in the VLP Documentation and for which NI makes such Software Services available. Software
Services will be described in VLP Documentation. NI reserves the right to restrict Software Service to the then
most current version of the Software that is commercially available. You understand that NI may not make
available Software Service for all Software available under the VLP. Unless otherwise agreed to by NI in writing,
you must maintain during the VLP Term a minimum of five (5) licenses to a version of a single NI software
product that is considered by NI to be a development version.
5. You must designate an individual in your organization who is responsible for distributing and overseeing the
installation and use of the Software, including use of any master installation media and any approved volume
license manager, ("Software Administrator") for each Site. You must promptly notify NI in writing of any changes
to a Software Administrator.

6. NI will deliver the master installation for the Software and, if provided for in the applicable written quotation from
NI or its authorized affiliate, make available NI's volume license manager to the Software Administrator(s) for
internal installation and use by your employees. Software documentation is provided in electronic form only and
comes with the master installation for the Software.

7. You are responsible for ensuring that an Approved Volume License Manager, together with the most current
license file provided by NI that controls end-user access to the Software (to the extent NI has made the Software
compatible with an Approved Volume License Manager) is in use at all times, during the term of the VLP and
thereafter, with the Software. An "Approved Volume License Manager" means NI's computer software for
controlling end user access to the Software and that generates applicable usage compliance information ("NI
VLM"); FLEXnet or FLEXlm software; or any other third party software approved in writing by NI for controlling
end user access to the Software. If the Approved Volume License Manager is the NI VLM or if NI makes
documentation available for the applicable Approved Volume License Manager, such Approved Volume License
Manager must be installed and used in accordance with the documentation provided by NI.
8. If you have existing computer-based or named user licenses for the Software that are to be covered by the VLP,
you must notify NI in writing of the product, platform, and serial number information for each such license. Each
such license and the individual serial number for each license will, as of the VLP Effective Date, no longer be in
effect and will be superseded by the licenses within the VLP, which will have a single, common serial number.

9. Concurrent Use License. If you have obtained a concurrent use license under the VLP, you will be bound by the
terms for concurrent use licenses. However, the definition of "Site" will also include all of your physical locations
located within the same country as the Site. In addition, (i) if your Site is located in a member of the North
American Free Trade Agreement, then all of your physical locations within a member of the North American Free
Trade Agreement will be considered in the same country; (ii) if your Site is located in South America, then all of
your physical locations within South America will be considered in the same country; (iii) if your Site is located in
Iceland, Norway, Switzerland, Africa or any member country of the European Union, then any of your physical
locations within the foregoing countries will be considered in the same country; and (iv) if your Site is located in
Asia, then all of your physical locations in Asia will be considered located in the same country. If you have
purchased a global concurrent license, then all of your locations worldwide will be considered in the same
country as the Site.

10. You acknowledge and agree that in no event may your use of the Software under the VLP exceed the maximum
total number of licenses set forth in the VLP Documentation in addition to any licenses that may be added to the
VLP after the VLP Effective Date and any licenses available through the "Overdraft" feature. You agree to pay for
licenses accessed through the Overdraft feature.

11. Activity Compliance Logs. You are required to provide an activity compliance log ("Activity Compliance Log") for
each Site to NI promptly, but in no event no later than fifteen (15) days following the annual anniversary of the
VLP Effective Date and following the VLP termination date. The Activity Compliance Log must be in a format
acceptable to NI.

12. Renewals. If you desire to renew the VLP, you must provide a current Activity Compliance Log to NI at least sixty
(60) days before the end of the then current VLP Term. NI or its authorized affiliate will then provide you with a
quote for Software Services, any fees for additional VLP licenses added during the VLP Term, including through
the "Overdraft" feature, that are applicable ("Additional VLP Fees"), and any fees for new VLP licenses that you
request for the renewal VLP Term (the "VLP Renewal Fees"). You must promptly notify NI if the information in the
Activity Compliance Log regarding the number of VLP licenses in use changes following your submission, and NI
reserves the right to revise the VLP Renewal Fees to reflect any additional VLP licenses used and not reflected
in the applicable Activity Compliance Log that you provided to NI at the time you renewed. IF, PRIOR TO THE
END OF THE THEN CURRENT VLP TERM, YOU DO NOT ISSUE A PURCHASE ORDER FOR THE
SOFTWARE SERVICES AND ANY ADDITIONAL VLP FEES THAT ARE DUE, (I) THE VLP WILL
AUTOMATICALLY TERMINATE AT THE END OF THE CURRENT VLP TERM AND (II) ALL SOFTWARE
SERVICES FOR THE VLP WILL AUTOMATICALLY AND IMMEDIATELY TERMINATE AT THE END OF THE
THEN CURRENT VLP TERM.

13. Purchase Orders; Invoices. You must submit purchase orders to NI or its authorized affiliate as follows.

i. for initial activation of the VLP: in the amount specified in the applicable written quotation from NI or its
authorized affiliate for initial activation of the VLP license and the initial annual user fee for Software
Services within the time-frame specified in the quote provided to you

ii. for each renewal term: in the amount of VLP Renewal Fees and any Additional VLP Fees prior to the end of
the then current VLP Term

14. Software Services are charged on an annual basis. Additional VLP Fees will be pro-rated on a quarterly basis,
based on the quarter of the VLP Term in which the Software under such VLP license was first used or such
shorter basis as NI may designate.

15. THE SOFTWARE AND THE APPROVED VOLUME LICENSE MANAGER MAY CONTAIN CODE THAT WILL,
FOLLOWING TERMINATION OF THE VLP, DEACTIVATE YOUR ABILITY TO USE THE SOFTWARE UNDER
THE VLP. NI MAY ATTEMPT TO PROVIDE YOU WITH AN UPDATED LICENSE FILE, BUT IT IS YOUR
RESPONSIBILITY TO OBTAIN SUCH LICENSE FILE FROM NI AND TO INSTALL AND USE THE LICENSE
FILE AS SOON AS POSSIBLE AFTER DELIVERY OF SUCH LICENSE FILE, BUT IN NO EVENT NO LATER
THAN SIXTY (60) DAYS AFTER THE TERMINATION OF THE VLP. Upon termination of the VLP, you may
continue to use the VLP licenses in effect and for which you have paid the required fees to NI or its authorized
affiliate prior to the date of termination (the "Surviving VLP Licenses"), provided that all such use is conducted
with an Approved Volume License Manager and otherwise pursuant to the terms and conditions of the
Agreement. IN NO EVENT MAY YOU INCREASE THE NUMBER OF THE SURVIVING VLP LICENSES
FOLLOWING THE TERMINATION OF THE VLP. ANY REACTIVATION OF THE VLP FOLLOWING ITS
TERMINATION WILL BE AT THE SOLE DISCRETION OF NI AND MAY BE SUBJECT TO REACTIVATION
FEES, AND THE VLP EFFECTIVE DATE THEREAFTER WILL BE THE DATE THAT THE VLP IS
REACTIVATED BY NI.

16. You may obtain individual serial numbers for any of the VLP licenses or Surviving VLP Licenses. There may be a
charge for conversion. No more than four (4) such conversions may occur per calendar year.

17. Software under a VLP license or a Surviving VLP License is non-transferable and you may not, without the prior
written consent of NI or its authorized affiliate, distribute or otherwise provide the Software to any third party or to
any of your sites or facilities not expressly identified in the applicable documents from NI.
