listed in this chart;
d. a completed certificate of originality with the Licensed Works, and
with each Enhancement to a Licensed Work, in the form specified in the
Attachment: Certificate of Originality. IBM may suspend payments to
WAVE for the Licensed Work(s) if WAVE does not provide a properly
completed certificate. Payment will resume after IBM receives and
accepts the certificate.
2.2 For the term of this Agreement, WAVE will, ** provide to IBM maintenance

the Licensed Works;
b. at IBM's option, provide all Major Enhancements for the Classroom
Materials at the price specified in Section 4 of this Agreement; and
c. provide to IBM, ** all Major Enhancements for the Self-Study Kit.
Thereafter, and continuing for five (5) years, WAVE will offer to IBM,
within 30 days after general availability, all Major Enhancements to the
Classroom Materials that WAVE creates or authorizes others to create. Such
Major Enhancements will, at IBM's option, be provided at the price

Enhancements available to IBM under terms and conditions no less favorable
than those WAVE offers anyone else.
2.4. WAVE will:

a. participate in progress reviews, as requested by IBM, to demonstrate
WAVE's performance of WAVE's obligations;
b. conduct three (3) skills transfer "Teach The Teacher" (T3) classes at

conduct classes using the Classroom Materials. IBM will reimburse
WAVE's travel expenses pursuant to the Attachment: Travel Expense
Reimbursement;
c. at IBM's option, provide Additional Support Services for each
individual end-user registered by IBM with WAVE. WAVE is obligated to
provide additional Support Services only in English. WAVE provided

services provided to address questions regarding the subject
matter covered in the Products;
2) chat sessions. WAVE will schedule one chat session for every two
Self-Study Kits registered by IBM for Additional Support
Services. Any required chat session software will be provided
with each Self-Study Kit. Chat sessions will be conducted live

Support Services.
d. provide up to four half-day enhancements to the Licensed Works
addressing differentiating topics. These topics will be chosen by IBM
at a later date and may include OS/2 Integration, SNA Services (other
than Microsoft SNA Server) and other related topics. The four half-
day segments will correspond to approximately five hours of self-study
materials and will incorporate both WAVE's expertise as well as IBM
support. This work will consist of no more than 80 hours of
development time and all compensation for this effort is included the

by providing the breaching party with a written notice that describes the
breach. The termination will become effective forty-five (45) days after

(45) day period. However, if the breach (other than a breach for failure
to deliver the Licensed Works) by its nature, cannot be remedied in forty-
five (45) days, but can be remedied in a reasonable time thereafter, the
breaching party will take reasonable and diligent steps to remedy it,
notify the other party of the action plan, progress towards completion, and

this Agreement on or after the effective date of termination, except for

10.0 GENERAL
10.1 Independent Contractor. Each party is an independent contractor. Neither
party is, nor will claim to be, a legal representative, partner,
franchisee, agent or employee of the other except as specifically stated in
the Subsection entitled "Copyright" below. Neither party will assume or
create obligations for the other. Each party is responsible for the
direction and compensation of its employees.
10.2 Freedom of Action. Each party may have similar agreements with others.
Each party may design, develop, manufacture, acquire or market competitive
products and services, and conduct its business in whatever way it chooses.
IBM is not obligated to announce or market any products or services. IBM
does not guarantee the success of its marketing efforts. IBM will
independently establish prices for its products and services.
10.3 Reliance. Neither party relies on any promises, inducements or
representations made by the other or expectations of more business
dealings, except as expressly provided in this Agreement. This Agreement
accurately states the parties' agreement.
Page 20 of 22
10.4 Compliance With Applicable Laws. Each party will comply with all
applicable laws and regulations at its expense including, to the extent
applicable, Executive Order 11246 on Equal Employment Opportunity, as
amended, the Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970, as amended, and
the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended. This also
includes all applicable government export and import laws and regulations.
10.5 Confidential Information. The parties agree that information exchanged
under this Agreement that is considered by either party to be confidential
information will be subject to the terms of the AECI referenced on the
first page of this Agreement and its Supplements. In addition, WAVE will
not provide IBM with any information which may be considered confidential
information of any third party unless provided under the AECI. The
obligations set forth in the AECI with regard to confidential information
will not limit or preclude the exercise of the licenses granted in this
Agreement.
10.6 Copyright. Any publication by IBM of the Licensed Works or a Derivative
Work thereof may contain an appropriate copyright notice, pursuant to
Section 3.
WAVE will enforce and maintain its copyright protection in the Licensed
Works. IBM is not responsible for enforcing and maintaining such
copyright protection. However, WAVE authorizes IBM to act as WAVE's agent
in the copyright registration of the Licensed Works. At IBM's request,
WAVE agrees to provide IBM reasonable assistance in registering any
Product.
10.7 Order of Precedence. If there is a conflict among the terms of this base
License Agreement and its Attachments, the terms of this base License
Agreement prevail over those of the Attachments, unless the parties
expressly indicate in the Attachments that particular terms within the
Attachments prevail. Terms in IBM's purchase orders and WAVE's invoices or
acknowledgments, if any, are void.
10.8 Headings. The headings of this Agreement are for reference only. They
will not affect the meaning or interpretation of this Agreement.
10.9 Counterparts. This Agreement may be signed in one or more counterparts,
each of which will be considered an original, but all of which together
form one and the same instrument.
10.10 Amendment and Waivers. For a change to this Agreement to be valid, both
parties must sign it. No approval, consent or waiver will be enforceable
unless signed by the granting party. Failure to insist on strict
performance or to exercise a right when entitled does not prevent a party
from doing so later for that breach or a future one.
Page 21 of 22
10.11 Actions. Neither party will bring a legal action relating to the subject
matter of this Agreement, against the other more than 2 years after the
cause of action arose, except in the case of indemnification for
infringement, in which case this period runs for 2 years after the award
or settlement was made.
10.12 Dispute Resolution. Both parties will act in good faith to resolve
disputes prior to instituting litigation. Each party waives its rights to
a jury trial in any resulting litigation. Litigation will only be
commenced in the State of New York.
10.13 Governing Law. This Agreement will be governed by the substantive law of
the State of New York applicable to contracts executed in and performed
entirely within that State. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for
the International Sale of Goods does not apply. WAVE will, upon written
notice from IBM, submit to personal jurisdiction in any forum where IBM is
sued for claims related to this Agreement.
