                                 CODE OF VIRGINIA

LICENSOR&#8217;S OBLIGATIONS TO ENABLE USE (§ 59.1-506.2)

a. In this section, &#8220;enable use&#8221; means to grant a contractual right
or permission with respect to information or informational rights and to
complete the acts, if any, required under the agreement to make the information
available to the licensee.

b. A licensor shall enable use by the licensee pursuant to the contract. The
following rules apply to enabling use:

   1. If nothing other than the grant of a contractual right or permission is
   required to enable use, the licensor enables use when the contract becomes
   enforceable.

   2. If the agreement requires delivery of a copy, enabling use occurs when the
   copy is tendered to the licensee.

   3. If the agreement requires delivery of a copy and steps authorizing the
   licensee&#8217;s use, enabling use occurs when the last of those acts occurs.

   4. In an access contract, enabling use requires tendering all access material
   necessary to enable the agreed access.

   5. If the agreement requires a transfer of ownership of informational rights
   and a filing or recording is allowed by law to establish priority of the
   transferred ownership, on request by the licensee, the licensor shall execute
   and tender a record appropriate for that purpose.
