Customer specifically agrees not to:   

(i) Transfer, assign or sublicense its license rights to any other person or entity, 
or use the Materials on unauthorized or secondhand LAUNCH equipment, and 
Customer acknowledges that any attempted transfer, assignment, sublicense or 
use shall be void;   

(ii) Make error corrections to or otherwise modify or adapt the Materials or create 
derivative works based upon the Materials, or permit third parties to do the 
same;
