    (a) Incorporate object code of the Software or any part thereof into Project/s;
    (b) Modify the Source Code solely as is necessary to enable the Software in object code format to function as an integral embedded part of the Project (for the avoidance of doubt, Licensee shall not incorporate Source Code into the Project nor distribute Source Code);
    (c) Make and/or develop upgrades, expansions, extensions and/or modifications to Project/s using and/or incorporating the Software provided that such developments operate only as part of the Project/s and shall not operate on a stand-alone basis or be exploited in connection with or as part of any other product;
    (d) Make the number of copies of the Software as is reasonably necessary for use in the development of the Project/s as emergency, back-up, archival or disaster recovery copies only; and
    (e) Allow its contractors to access and use the Software provided that such access and use is solely and exclusively for the benefit of Licensee exercising its right to incorporate the object code of the Software into Project/s.

The license is granted for the version of the Software available at the time this Agreement is entered and for any subsequent updates to the Software to which the Licensee is entitled under this Agreement.

2. Utilization and Integration License. To the extent of Software, or any part or component thereof, is incorporated into the Project/s pursuant to the Development License, NOESIS grants Licensee a paid-up, royalty-free, worldwide, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable (except to the extent provided in Section VI), and perpetual right and license to use, copy, distribute and sell the Software in object code only as an integral embedded part of the Project/s ("Utilization License"). 

  2.1 Licensee may sublicense its rights under the Utilization License to:
    (a) End Users;
    (b) Publishers and distributors for the purpose of distributing and selling the Project/s to other distributors and End Users; and
