Programs licensed for trial purposes are provided “as is” and Oracle does not provide technical support or any warranties for these programs.
D. Distributors
You may appoint distributors to distribute the programs embedded with your application package as provided under the terms of this agreement. Distributors have no right to make copies of the programs and shall obtain all programs from you. Each distributor must be subject to a legally binding written agreement between you and the distributor that (a) grant the rights for the distributor to distribute the application package to end users, (b) contains or incorporates provisions which are equivalent to the terms of this agreement, and (c) permits you to audit your distributors’ activities under such agreement and report such activities to Oracle or assign your right to audit the distributors’ activities to Oracle. In addition, the agreement with your distributors shall require the distributors to distribute the application package subject to terms that are consistent with the terms of this agreement. Any distribution of the application package by your distributors shall be subject to an end user license agreement between you and the end user as set forth in Section G (License Agreement) of this agreement. You shall keep executed distributor agreements for Oracle to inspect upon request. You shall defend and indemnify Oracle from all claims and for all damages arising out of the activities of your distributors.
E. Ownership and Restrictions
Oracle or its licensors retain all ownership and intellectual property rights to the programs. Oracle retains all ownership and intellectual property rights to anything developed by Oracle and delivered to you resulting from the services. Each end user may make a sufficient number of copies of each program for the licensed use and one copy of each program media.
Third party technology may be necessary for use with some Oracle programs and is specified in the program documentation; specific files (which are identified in the program documentation) of such third party technology (collectively the “Open Source Technology”) may be included on the same medium or as part of the download of Oracle programs you receive, but is licensed under the Mozilla Public License, Common Public License, GNU Lesser General Public License, Netscape Public License or similar royalty-free/open source license (collectively, the “Open Source Licenses”).
This agreement does not modify or abridge any rights or obligations you may have in Open Source Technology under applicable Open Source Licenses; however, to the extent that Open Source Technology is incorporated into an Oracle program, your rights and remedies under this agreement with respect to such Open Source Technology (i.e. indemnification) shall apply, but only for your use of the Oracle program that is in compliance with the terms of this agreement and with the terms of any relevant Open Source License. Any use of Open Source Technology outside of your licensed use of applicable Oracle programs is subject to the rights and obligations under such third party technology’s Open Source License. Open Source Technology programs that are separate from Oracle programs are provided as a courtesy to you and are licensed

G. License Agreement
It is your responsibility to ensure that any distribution of the programs and/or services to an end user is subject to a legally binding end user license agreement for the programs and/or services that you distribute to the end user. The end user license agreement must, at a minimum:
  (1)   Limit the use of the programs that are subject to the end user license agreement to the legal entity that executed the end user license agreement.
 
  (2)   Restrict use of the programs to the scope of the application package and to the internal business operations of the end user subject to the terms of the end user license agreement. You may allow your end users to permit agents or contractors (including, without limitation, outsourcers) to use the application package on the applicable end user’s behalf for the purposes set forth in the end user license agreement, subject to the terms of such agreement, provided that such end users are responsible for the agent’s, contractor’s and outsourcer’s compliance with the end user license agreement in such use. For an application package that includes programs that are specifically designed to allow the end user’s customers and suppliers to interact with the end user in the furtherance of the end user’s internal business operations, such use may be allowed under the end user license agreement.
 
  (3)   State that Oracle or its licensor retains all ownership and intellectual property rights to the programs.
 
  (4)   Prohibit (a) the transfer of the programs except for temporary transfer in the event of computer malfunction if the application package embeds the programs in a physical device and (b) the end user from assigning, giving, or transferring the programs and/or any services ordered or an interest in them to another individual or entity (in the event the end user grants a security interest in the programs and/or any services, the secured party has no right to use or transfer the programs and/or any services).

4


 

  (5)   Prohibit (a) use of the programs for rental, timesharing, subscription service, hosting, or outsourcing; (b) the removal or modification of any program markings or any notice of Oracle’s or its licensors’ proprietary rights; (c) the end user from making the programs available in any manner to any third party for use in the third party’s business operations (unless such access is expressly permitted for the specific program license); and (d) title to the programs from passing to the end user or any other party.
 
  (6)   Prohibit the reverse engineering (unless required by law for interoperability), disassembly or decompilation of the programs (the foregoing prohibition includes but is not limited to review of data structures or similar materials produced by programs) and prohibit duplication of the programs except for a sufficient number of copies of each program for the end user’s licensed use and one copy of each program media.
 
  (7)   Disclaim, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Oracle’s liability for (a) any damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental, special, punitive or consequential, and (b) any loss of profits, revenue, data or data use, arising from the use of the programs.
 
  (8)   Require the end user, at the termination of the agreement, to discontinue use and destroy or return to you all copies of the programs and documentation.
 
  (9)   Prohibit publication of any results of benchmark tests run on the programs.
 
  (10)   Require the end user to comply fully with all relevant export laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable export and import laws to assure that neither the programs, nor any direct product thereof, are exported, directly or indirectly, in violation of applicable laws.
 
  (11)   Notify the end user that the programs are subject to a restricted license and can only be used in conjunction with the application package and that the end user is not permitted to modify the programs.
 
  (12)   Not require Oracle to perform any obligations or incur any liability not previously agreed to between you and Oracle.
 
  (13)   Permit you to audit your end user’s use of the programs, require the end user to provide reasonable assistance and access to information in the course of such audit and permit you to report the audit results to Oracle or to assign your right to audit the end user’s use of the programs to Oracle. Where you assign your right to audit to Oracle then Oracle shall not be responsible for any of your or the end user’s costs incurred in cooperating with the audit.
 
  (14)   Designate Oracle as a third party beneficiary of the end user license agreement.
 
  (15)   Exclude the application of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act.
 
  (16)   Inform the end user that some programs may include source code that Oracle may provide as part of its standard shipment of such programs, which source code shall be governed by the terms of the end user license agreement.
 
  (17)   State that third party technology that may be appropriate or necessary for use with some Oracle programs is specified in the application package documentation or as otherwise notified by you and that such third party technology is licensed to the end user only for use with the application package under the terms of the third party license agreement specified in the application package documentation or as otherwise notified by you and not under the terms of the end user license agreement.
You shall be financially responsible for all claims and damages to Oracle caused by your failure to include the required contractual terms set forth above in each end user license agreement between you and an end user. Oracle is a third party beneficiary of any end user license agreement between you and the end user, but does not assume any of your obligations thereunder, and you agree that you will not enter into any end user license agreement that excludes Oracle as a third party beneficiary.
You agree to inform Oracle promptly if you are aware of any breach of an end user license agreement. You agree to enforce the terms of an end user license agreement between you and an end user if Oracle requests you to do so to protect its interest, or, at Oracle’s request, to assign to Oracle or its designee the right to enforce such agreement.
H. Fees and Taxes
You may place an order or submit a monthly report for programs and/or services with Oracle. You agree to pay Oracle a fee for each order placed for programs and/or services ordered and/or distributed under this agreement, as specified in the applicable order with Oracle and/or report. You also agree to pay Oracle a fee for every application package with which the programs are embedded regardless of an end users prior possession or pre-existing license of these programs unless you are shipping only an updated version of the application package as part of your technical support service for which you are paying technical support fees to Oracle as specified herein. You will not be relieved of your obligation to pay any fees owed to Oracle by the nonpayment of such fees by your end user. You are free to determine the fees charged to an end user for program licenses and services. At your option, fees payable to Oracle for programs distributed to end users with the application package will be equal to either option (a) ***** of the applicable license fee for each individual program based on the Oracle Technology global price list in effect at the time you issue a quote or option (b) the percentage shown in Oracle’s Embedded Product and Royalty Matrix of the applicable standard license fee for the application package based on your standard commercial price list in effect at the time you issue a quote, incorporated in this agreement, and such fees owed to Oracle will not take into account any discounts you have offered to your end users.
In addition, with regard to fees for technical support you provide to end users for perpetual or term licenses of the programs, you agree to pay Oracle a technical support fee as set forth in the Oracle Embedded Product and Royalty Matrix. Technical

support may be available to the end user on the date you ship the application package, or the date you distribute the application package to the end user, if shipment is not required. If technical support is provided by you to an end user, you must pay technical support fees to Oracle and the term for which you must pay fees to Oracle for such technical support shall begin on the last day of the month in which the application package is shipped, or distributed if shipment is not required, and if renewed, on that date in each subsequent year thereafter. If the end user does not continuously maintain technical support for the application package, you will be required to pay reinstatement fees to Oracle in accordance with Oracle’s current technical support policies if the end user wants to reinstate technical support. Fees for technical support are due and payable annually in advance.
You must select one of the above fee options for each application package by completing the Application Package Registration Form attached hereto and your selection will be in effect for the term of this agreement. If you select option (a), to view the Oracle Embedded Product and Royalty Matrix, you must log into the OPN web site at http://partner.oracle.com (log in, select Membership / Agreements & Policies). It is your responsibility to access the Oracle Embedded Product and Royalty Matrix to obtain current information. If you select option (a), if Oracle’s Embedded Product and Royalty Matrix changes after you issue a valid written quote for program licenses to an end user, for 90 days after the date you submit the quote to the end user, the fee applicable to the programs identified in the quote shall be based on the Oracle Embedded Product and Royalty Matrix in effect on the date you submit the quote. If you select option (b), you will provide Oracle with a copy of your current standard commercial application package price list at least twice a year so that Oracle may verify the fees due and payable to Oracle.
Except as provided herein, all fees payable to Oracle (including fees for annual technical support which you provide to end users) are due within *****. If you submit a purchase order to Oracle, fees payable under such purchase order are due within *****. You also agree to pay any sales, value-added or other similar taxes imposed by applicable law that Oracle must pay based on the programs and/or services you ordered and/or reported, except for taxes based on Oracle’s income. You agree and you will obtain your end users’ agreement that you and your end user have not relied on the future availability of any programs or services in entering into the payment obligations in the applicable order and/or monthly report; however, (a) if you order end user technical support for programs, the preceding sentence does not relieve Oracle of its obligation to provide updates under your ordering document, if-and-when available, in accordance with Oracle’s then current technical support policies and (b) the preceding sentence does not change the rights granted for any program licensed under your order and/or monthly report, per the terms of your order and/or monthly report and this agreement. Oracle reserves the right to check your credit rating periodically during the term of this agreement and to modify these payment terms in the event that there is a material change in your credit rating. Fees listed in this agreement are exclusive of value added tax and/or similar sales taxes. Such taxes shall be charged at the appropriate rate by Oracle in addition to its stated fees and shall be shown separately on the relevant invoice. Upon your submission of an order and/or monthly report to Oracle this payment obligation is non-cancelable, and the sum paid is nonrefundable, is not subject to set-off for any reason, and is not subject to the completion or occurrence of any event after the date your order and/or monthly report is submitted to Oracle.
I. Warranties, Disclaimers and Exclusive Remedies
Oracle warrants to you that a program will operate in all material respects as described in the applicable program documentation for ***** after delivery (i.e. via physical shipment or electronic download) to the end user. You must notify Oracle of any program warranty deficiency within ***** after such delivery. Oracle also warrants that services will be provided in a professional manner consistent with industry standards. You must notify Oracle of any services warranty deficiencies within ***** from performance of the defective services described in the order with Oracle.
ORACLE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE PROGRAMS WILL PERFORM ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ORACLE WILL CORRECT ALL PROGRAM ERRORS.
FOR ANY BREACH OF THE ABOVE WARRANTIES, YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY AND ORACLE’S ENTIRE LIABILITY SHALL BE: *****.
TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THESE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND THERE ARE NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS INCLUDING WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
J. Indemnification
If a third party makes a claim against you or an end user that any program infringes their intellectual property rights based on your duplication and/or distribution of the programs in accordance with the terms of this agreement, Oracle, at its sole cost and expense, will defend you and the end user against the claim and indemnify you and the end user from the damages, liabilities, costs and expenses awarded by the court to the third party claiming infringement or the settlement agreed to by Oracle, if you do the following:
 
*****   The omitted portions of this exhibit have been filed separately with the SEC pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 24b-2 as promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.

6


 

  notify the General Counsel, Oracle Legal Department, promptly in writing, not later than 30 days after you receive notice of the claim (or sooner if required by applicable law);
  give Oracle sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations; and
  give Oracle the information, authority, and assistance Oracle needs to defend against or settle the claim.
If Oracle believes or it is determined that any of the programs may have violated a third party’s intellectual property rights based on your duplication and/or distribution of the programs, Oracle may choose to either modify the program to be non-infringing (while substantially preserving its utility or functionality) or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these alternatives are not commercially reasonable, Oracle may end the license for the applicable program and refund any fees you may have paid to Oracle for it and any unused, prepaid technical support fees you have paid to Oracle for the licenses. Oracle will not indemnify you or an end user if you or an end user alter a program or if you distribute or the end user uses it outside the scope of use identified in the user documentation or if you distribute or an end user uses a version of the program which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by distributing or using an unaltered current version of the program which was provided to you. Oracle will not indemnify you or an end user to the extent an infringement claim is based upon a program not provided by Oracle. Oracle will not indemnify you or an end user to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon the combination of any program with any products or services not provided by Oracle. Oracle will not indemnify you or an end user for infringement caused by you or your end user’s actions against any third party if the Oracle program(s) as delivered to you and distributed by you or used by an end user in accordance with the terms of this agreement would not otherwise infringe any third party intellectual property rights. If a third party makes a claim against Oracle that a program, when used in combination with any product or services provided by you, infringes their intellectual property rights, and such claim would have been avoided by the exclusive use of the program, you will indemnify Oracle. This section provides your exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages.
K. End User Technical Support
You are responsible for providing all technical support services and updates to distributors and end users. Any technical support questions Oracle receives from end users will be referred to you. You shall have the right to provide technical support for the programs to end users, including you or your affiliated entities if you have distributed the application package to you or such entities, provided (a) that you continually maintain your membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork and maintain annual technical support for the development licenses that you acquire pursuant to your Oracle PartnerNetwork Agreement with Oracle and (b) subject to your payment to Oracle of the applicable annual fees for end user technical support set forth in Section H (Fees and Taxes) below. If you contract to provide or provide technical support services to an end user for an application package, including but not limited to providing any updates to the programs, then you must report such services to Oracle in accordance with Section F (Reporting) above and pay the applicable end user technical support fee. Technical support is effective upon shipment or delivery by you to the end user, or if shipment or delivery is not required, upon the effective date of the order with Oracle, unless otherwise stated in your order with Oracle. If your order was placed through the Oracle Store or other online ordering system, the effective date is the date your order was accepted by Oracle.
Upon expiration of this agreement, you may continue to provide technical support to end users provided that (a) this agreement was not terminated due to your breach of a material term of this agreement; (b) you continuously maintain your membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork and thereby maintain technical support for the development licenses that you acquired pursuant to your Oracle PartnerNetwork Agreement with Oracle; (c) you pay all applicable fees and comply with the reporting requirements set forth in this agreement. After expiration of this agreement, renewal fees for end user technical support shall be invoiced by Oracle annually in advance. Fees for technical support shall be due and payable in advance ***** from date of invoice.
Annual technical support is provided under Oracle’s technical support policies in effect at the time the services are provided. The technical support policies, incorporated in this agreement, are subject to change at Oracle’s discretion; however, Oracle will not materially reduce the level of services provided for supported program licenses during the period for which fees for technical support have been paid. You should review the policies prior to entering into the order for the applicable services. You may access the current version of the technical support policies at http://partner.oracle.com (log in, select Membership / Agreements & Policies).
You or your distributor will be responsible for any assistance needed to install the application package at end user sites. In addition to technical support (as discussed above), you are responsible for providing all training and consultations to distributors and end users and any related questions Oracle receives from end users will be referred to you.
L. Term and End of Agreement
This agreement shall begin on the effective date specified herein unless you accept the terms of this agreement online, in which case the effective date shall be as set forth in an email from Oracle confirming Oracle’s acceptance of this agreement. The term of this agreement shall continue for 2 years. If your membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork expires or is

If Oracle ends this agreement as specified in the preceding sentence, you must pay within 30 days all amounts which have accrued prior to such end, as well as sums remaining unpaid for programs and/or services received under this agreement plus related taxes and expenses. If Oracle ends the license for a program under the Indemnification section, you must pay within 30 days all amounts remaining unpaid for services related to such license which have accrued prior to such end, plus related taxes and expenses. In addition, if Oracle terminates this agreement as provided under this section, Oracle also may terminate your Oracle PartnerNetwork agreement and your membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork.

EMBEDDED SOFTWARE LICENSE DISTRIBUTION AGREEMENT
between
ARCSIGHT, INC.
and
ORACLE USA, INC.
This Buyout Addendum (the “Buyout Addendum”) is between Oracle USA, Inc. (“Oracle”) and ArcSight, Inc. (“you”) and shall be governed by and incorporated into the terms of the Oracle PartnerNetwork Embedded Software License Distribution Agreement (v100908) between Oracle and you dated May 31, 2009 (the “agreement”). The rights and obligations defined herein are in addition to all terms in the agreement. Defined terms used in the agreement shall have the same meaning under this Buyout Addendum, unless expressly stated otherwise. If there is a direct conflict between a term of this Buyout Addendum and a term of the agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Buyout Addendum, the term of this Buyout Addendum shall prevail.
1. Distribution Rights
Subject to the terms of the agreement and this Buyout Addendum, during the Distribution Term (defined below) you may distribute the embedded programs as part of one of the application packages specified in section 6 below (the “application package(s)”), (i) to new end users to whom you have never previously distributed the application package and (ii) to end users to whom you have previously distributed the application package under a distribution agreement with Oracle prior to the date of this Buyout Addendum, for additional incremental usage of the application package, provided that (a) the end user has continuously maintained technical support for the application package previously distributed, (b) the end user has not continuously maintained technical support for the application package previously distributed, but the end user has reinstated technical support for such application package and is currently receiving technical support for the application package previously distributed at the time you distribute additional licenses for additional incremental usage of the embedded programs, (c) the end user has never contracted for or obtained technical support for the application package previously distributed and you agree that you shall not provide technical support to the end user for either (1) the application package previously distributed or (2) any licenses for additional incremental usage related to such application package that you distribute under this Buyout Addendum, or (d) the end user has never contracted for or obtained technical support for the application package previously distributed, however if at or before the time you distribute licenses for additional incremental usage of the application package to the end user the end user obtains (and you pay to Oracle the respective technical support fees associated with the end user’s obtaining) current supported status (including payment of any reinstatement or back support fees per Oracle’s technical support policies) and additionally such end user obtains technical support for any additional incremental usage licenses to use the application package that you distribute under this Buyout Addendum at the time you distribute the additional licenses Any distribution rights granted will be limited to the application package(s) and may not be combined with any additional functionality or additional application programs. For the purposes of this Buyout Addendum, the “Distribution Term” shall commence on the effective date of this Buyout Addendum and shall terminate 2 years from the effective date hereof unless terminated earlier as provided herein.
In the event that you do not (a) distribute the embedded programs in accordance with this Buyout Addendum and the agreement or (b) pay the technical support fees due under this Buyout Addendum for the duration of the Distribution Term, then the Distribution Term and your right to distribute the embedded programs under this Buyout Addendum and to provide technical support for the embedded programs shall immediately terminate, subject to and in accordance with Section L (Term and End of the Agreement) following written notice to you by Oracle of the breach, and your failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of such written notice.
2. License and Technical Support Fees
You agree to pay Oracle a license and technical support fee of $4,750,000.00 (“License and Technical Support Fee”) for the right to distribute the embedded programs and to provide annual technical support for the embedded programs for each year in the Distribution Term as set forth in this Buyout Addendum. This fee entitles you to distribute an unlimited number of licenses of the embedded programs during the Distribution Term.

Except as provided in the agreement and this Buyout Addendum, all license fees payable to the applicable Oracle group company under this Buyout Addendum are due within ***** of the effective date below. This payment obligation is non-cancelable, and the sum paid is nonrefundable, is not subject to set-off for any reason, and is not subject to the completion or occurrence of any event after the effective date of this Buyout Addendum. Oracle agrees that if, concurrent with the delivery of this Buyout Addendum, you deliver an Oracle Credit Corporation (“OCC”) Payment Plan Agreement and OCC ISV Payment Schedule (“PPA”) that is satisfactory to OCC, then the payment terms in the PPA shall replace the above payment terms to the extent specified in the PPA, and OCC shall pay Oracle. The License and Technical Support Fee for the Distribution Term for the Oracle programs and services that are subject to the PPA wilt not be considered fully paid until all sums due under the PPA have been paid.
3. Reporting
Subject to the terms in section F of the agreement (“Reporting”), notwithstanding the monthly reporting frequency, you shall submit quarterly reports to Oracle for the embedded programs distributed under this Buyout Addendum within 30 days of the last day of the quarter in which the application package is distributed to the end user, and notwithstanding the data elements required under the Partner Ordering Policy, such reports must include (1) for those application packages that embed the programs into a physical device; the name of the programs licensed, the name, including the date or version, of your agreement with Oracle under which the programs are being distributed; the applicable license metrics, quantity; the date of the end user’s order; (2) for those application packages that embed the programs into a software package, the name and address of the end user, the name, including the date or version, of your agreement with Oracle under which the programs are being distributed, the date of the end user’s order; the name of the programs licensed; the applicable license metrics and quantity. For purposes of this agreement, quarters shall start on the first day of June, September, December, and March. The quantity of licenses distributed pursuant to this Buyout Addendum will be fixed and shall be equal to the total number of end user licenses distributed at the end of the Distribution Term.
4. Technical Support
You are responsible for providing all technical support services to distributors and end users. Questions that Oracle receives from end users will be referred to you. You shall have the right to provide technical support to end users for the embedded programs for the Distribution Term provided that you continually maintain technical support for your development licenses and subject to the payment of the License and Technical Support Fee. The License and Technical Support Fee does not include any fees due and payable to Oracle for technical support for any programs distributed by you prior to the effective date of this Buyout Addendum, any fees due and payable to Oracle for technical support for any programs distributed by you under a prior distribution agreement with Oracle, or any fees due and payable to Oracle for technical support for any programs distributed by you under the agreement which are not included in this Buyout Addendum. Annual technical support is provided under Oracle’s technical support policies in effect at the time the services are provided. The technical support policies, incorporated in this agreement, are subject to change at Oracle’s discretion.
The amount of fees for technical support pursuant to a warranty claim or otherwise, during any of the first and second years of the Distribution Term, would be the amount you have paid for technical support pursuant to an Oracle Credit Corporation (OCC) Payment Plan Agreement and OCC ISV Payment Schedule (PPA) or paid pursuant to the terms of this Buyout Addendum as of the date of the applicable claim, up to ***** for each year.
Following the end of the Distribution Term, you may continue to renew technical support for the embedded programs and provide technical support to your end users of such programs provided that you continuously maintain technical support for the development licenses, you pay alt applicable fees set forth in this agreement, and you maintain your membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork. Following the end of the Distribution Term, renewal of annual technical support services shall be provided in accordance with Oracle’s then-current technical support policies and the terms of the agreement and this Buyout Addendum. If one hundred percent (100%) of your install base (defined below) is receiving technical support from you, the renewal fee for the first year for technical support for the embedded programs shall be equal to ***** plus Oracle’s then current technical support annual percentage increase which shall not exceed ***** (the “100% renewal fee”). Sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Distribution Term, you shall submit a written certification to Oracle verifying the percentage of your install base that you are providing technical support to (“Supported Install Base”). Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the agreement, upon receipt of your certification, Oracle will calculate your annual technical support fee for the embedded programs for the first year following the end of the Distribution Term as follows: the Supported Install Base multiplied by the 100% renewal fee. After the first year following the end of the Distribution Term, renewal fees for annual technical support services for the embedded programs shall be subject to Oracle’s then current technical support policies and the terms of the agreement. As used herein, the term “install base” shall mean the total number of licenses you have distributed to end users for the embedded programs during the Distribution Term.
