Section 2.1 shall be construed to require InterTrust to make any InterTrust
technology available to NatWest that has been developed by InterTrust as a
custom or specialized effort for, or jointly with, one or more current or
prospective development partners and/or other licensees of InterTrust. To the
extent that InterTrust and NatWest mutually agree in a separate written
agreement to have InterTrust develop any custom or specialized software for, or
jointly with, NatWest (other than the Requested Functionality), the terms and
conditions of such separate agreement shall specifiy whether such custom or
specialized software may be made available to any third Person.
(c) Acknowledgments. In accordance with the above, and subject to
---------------
InterTrust representations set forth in Section 10.2 hereof, it is acknowledged
and agreed that the InterTrust Technology may employ or may operate with one or
more technologies that may not be proprietary to InterTrust but are included
within the Licensed Rights as specified on Exhibit A (the "Third Party
-----------
Technology") and as may be modified from time to time by InterTrust. NatWest's
----------
use of the Third Party Technology is limited by the terms of any licenses or
rights that InterTrust may have therein and may sublicense to NatWest.
2.2 Training, Assistance and Technical Support. Subject to the terms and
------------------------------------------
conditions of this Agreement, InterTrust agrees to provide NatWest with the
training, support and assistance set forth in this Section 2.2 for a period of

(b) Correction of Material Defects.
------------------------------
(i) General. In addition to InterTrust's own on-going quality
-------
assurance efforts, if NatWest brings any Material Defect to InterTrust's
attention in accordance with commercially reasonable and appropriate InterTrust
standard support policy notification procedures (and made available in writing
to NatWest), InterTrust shall use reasonable efforts in accordance with
applicable U.S. software industry practices, at InterTrust's expense, to correct
such Material Defect. If a Material Defect can not through the exercise of such
reasonable efforts be so corrected, or is not otherwise in good faith reasonably
foreseen to be so correctable with commercially reasonable application of
InterTrust resources, InterTrust will use such reasonably prompt efforts to
adjust InterTrust Technology to mitigate such Material Defect in a manner
reasonably commercially designed and/or intended to minimize material adverse
disruption to functionality of InterTrust Technology in current use. Consistent
with the foregoing, InterTrust's efforts to correct or mitigate Material Defects
shall be provided reasonably in a manner set forth in this Section 2.2((b)),
including, as applicable, for the level of NatWest commercial use of InterTrust
Technology. If NatWest requests and InterTrust agrees to commit resources beyond
the level required hereunder, such efforts will be subject to reasonable
reimbursement by NatWest to InterTrust as agreed by the Parties and as
consistent with reasonable industry practice. InterTrust's sole obligation with
respect to any Material Defect shall be InterTrust's correction or mitigation of
such Material Defect pursuant to the terms of this Section 2.2((b)),NatWest's
sole and exclusive remedies with respect to any Material Defect shall be: (i)
InterTrust's correction or mitigation of such Material Defect pursuant to the
terms of this Section 2.2((b)); (ii) NatWest's suspension of certain payments
during the pendency of Critical Material Defects pursuant to Section 5.1((f));
and/or (iii) NatWest's termination of this Agreement as provided in Section
2.2((b))((iii)) or as provided in Section 13.2((a)) in the event of a breach of
this Section 2.2((b)).
(ii) Classification of Priority. When InterTrust is made aware by
--------------------------
NatWest of a Material Defect in accordance with the notification procedures of
Section 2.2((b))((i)) and in the manner set forth below, InterTrust and NatWest
will work together to reasonably classify such Material Defect into the
---------- * CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN
FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
8
CONFIDENTIAL
appropriate priority level consistent with the following: (1) a Material Defect
that renders the NatWest Products commercially unusable, resulting in total
business disruption of NatWest's Clearinghouse Function services ("Critical
--------
Material Defects"); (2) a Material Defect that substantially impairs the
----------------
commercial use of NatWest Products ("Priority Material Defects"); and (3) a
-------------------------
Material Defect that has lesser impact on the commercial use of NatWest
Products, and/or a Material Defect not described in the immediately preceding
subparagraphs (1) and/or (2) ("Other Material Defects"). In order for InterTrust
----------------------
and NatWest to make such classification and/or correct or mitigate a Material
Defect, NatWest shall describe the alleged defect in reasonable detail, in
writing to the extent possible (and orally to the extent this may expedite the
correction of any Critical Material Defect); provided that all descriptions must
-------- ----
be in sufficient detail to allow InterTrust to reliably reproduce such defect.
(iii) Critical Material Defects. In the event NatWest brings a
-------------------------
Critical Material Defect to InterTrust's attention in accordance with Section
2.2((b))((i)) and ((ii)) hereof, and subsequent to written notification by
NatWest to InterTrust that NatWest is performing live commercial transactions
involving the performance of Clearinghouse Functions on a meaningful commercial
scale, InterTrust will make good faith efforts to communicate an initial
response concerning such Critical Material Defect within [*] hours. InterTrust
shall devote its support resources in a priority manner to work on providing an
urgent bug fix or workaround patch, process and/or procedure to temporarily
correct or mitigate such defect as soon as practicable, and in a commercially
reasonable manner, and, thereafter, use good faith efforts to work toward a
longer term solution within a commercially reasonable and practical time frame
as may be reasonably projected at such time by InterTrust after consultation
with NatWest, all of the foregoing taking into account the nature, severity and
complexity of such defect, the type and availability of engineering resources
required, and the magnitude of NatWest's commercial, revenue generating use of
InterTrust Technology. In the event a Critical Material Defect causes a total
disruption in one or more of NatWest's substantial live services involving the
performance of Clearinghouse Functions on a material scale as compared to
NatWest's overall services supported by InterTrust Technology, and InterTrust
has failed within [*] days of receipt of notice from NatWest in accordance with
the provisions of Sections 2.2((b))((i)) and 2.2((b))((ii)) to provide an urgent
bug fix or workaround patch, process and/or procedure to temporarily correct or
mitigate such defect to restore operation of such services, NatWest may
terminate this Agreement upon providing InterTrust with [*] days prior written
notice thereof.
(iv) Priority Material Defects. In the event NatWest brings a
-------------------------
Priority Material Defect to InterTrust's attention in accordance with Sections
2.2((b)))((i)) and 2.2((b))((ii)), and subsequent to written notification by
NatWest to InterTrust that NatWest is performing live commercial transactions
involving the performance of Clearinghouse Functions on meaningful commercial
scale, InterTrust will make good faith efforts to communicate an initial
response concerning such Priority Material Defect within [*] hours. InterTrust
shall reasonably devote its support resources to work on providing a bug fix or
workaround patch, process and/or procedure to correct or mitigate such defect
within a practical and commercially reasonable time frame as may be reasonably
projected at such time by InterTrust after consultation with NatWest, taking
into account the nature, severity and complexity of such defect, the type and
availability of engineering resources required, and the magnitude of NatWest's
commercial, revenue generating use of InterTrust Technology.
(v) Other Material Defects. In the event NatWest brings an Other
----------------------
Material Defect to InterTrust's attention in accordance with Sections 2.2((b))
((i)) and 2.2((b))((ii)), InterTrust will make good faith efforts to: (1)
communicate a response promptly; and (2) thereafter correct or mitigate such
defect in manner consistent with Section ((b))((i)) hereof.
(c) Status Meetings. To assist the Parties in sharing information, and
---------------
coordinating and evaluating their efforts relating to InterTrust Technology and
their mutual technical and business objectives, following the Effective Date the
Parties shall meet from time to time to discuss, among other things: (i)
InterTrust's development progress; (ii) implementation of such technology by
NatWest; and (iii) feedback concerning Assistance provided to NatWest and
product development and marketing progress by NatWest (the "Status

CONFIDENTIAL
Meetings"). Such Status Meetings shall take place not less frequently than once
--------
a quarter during the first twelve months following the Effective Date.
(d) Dedicated Personnel. InterTrust and NatWest will each appoint a
-------------------
relationship manager, to coordinate its activities pursuant to this Section 0,
and a technical project manager, to coordinate and facilitate the Assistance set
forth in Sections 2.2((a)) and 2.2((b)). InterTrust will reasonably and
consistently maintain such dedicated personnel. InterTrust will also promptly
respond to any NatWest concerns regarding such personnel. InterTrust may utilize
InterTrust resources located in the United Kingdom and/or Europe in part in
providing the Assistance and other services set forth in this Section 2.2.
2.3 Additional Assistance; Further Standard Support Packages. During the
--------------------------------------------------------
Support Period, additional Assistance may be made available by InterTrust to
NatWest beyond the [*] hours per annum allocated under Section 2.2((a))
("Additional Assistance"). To the extent NatWest requests, and InterTrust
decides to provide such Additional Assistance, NatWest shall pay to InterTrust
---------------------
fees that are no higher than the lowest fees charged by InterTrust to any other
customers for such Additional Assistance under like circumstances and at a cost
no greater than reasonably consistent with applicable U.S. software industry
practices. Following the Support Period (or earlier if agreed by NatWest and
InterTrust), NatWest may select one or more Standard Support Packages that
InterTrust may offer, except that to the extent NatWest is using InterTrust
Technology and InterTrust requires its customers (who have license rights and
obligations comparable to NatWest) to maintain at least a certain minimum level
of support with respect to its licensed activities, NatWest shall select and
maintain at least such minimum level of support provided by a Standard Support
Package, which minimum level will have associated support fees not materially in
excess of the Support Fee (as adjusted upward for inflation or to maintain
support fees reasonably commensurate with industry standard support fees in
comparable circumstances) and shall provide support commensurate with the level
of support provided in Section 2.2((a)) and 2.2((b)) hereof. Such support
(including correction of Material Defects) shall be provided to NatWest at a
cost no higher than the lowest fees charged by InterTrust to any other Core
Partner for substantially the same level of support under like circumstances and
no greater than reasonably consistent with U.S. software industry practices.

conditions hereof. Furthermore, any disassembly, decompilation or reverse
engineering undertaken in reliance upon such applicable jurisdiction' s
prohibiting law shall take place only where such disassembly, decompilation or
reverse engineering of any InterTrust software (or any part thereof) and
reproduction of the software and translation of its form are indispensable to
obtain the information necessary to achieve the interoperability of the software
with other programs, provided that: (A) these acts are performed by such Person
-------- ----
or by another Person having a right to use a copy of the software, or on their
behalf by a Person authorized under this Agreement to do so and where such acts
are not in violation of any applicable governing law; (B) the information
necessary to achieve reasonable interoperability has not previously been readily
available to the Persons referred to in subparagraph (A); and (C) these acts are
confined to the parts of the software which are necessary to achieve
interoperability (as interoperability may legally be most narrowly interpreted
under applicable law and precedent, for example to exclude from
"interoperability" any acts that compromise system security and/or undermine
basic viability or functionality of InterTrust Technology and/or NatWest
Products) and occur solely as is consistent with the licenses under this
Agreement, and where any rights to use any information derived from such acts
terminate immediately and fully upon any cessation or termination of applicable

4. NATWEST SUPPORT AND ADDITIONAL COVENANTS
4.1 NatWest Support of InterTrust Technology.
----------------------------------------
(a) NatWest Use of InterTrust Technology. In accordance with the
------------------------------------
licenses granted to NatWest and the other terms hereunder, in addition to those
provisions of Section 8.1, NatWest agrees to make commercially reasonable, good
faith efforts to develop, produce, and distribute or use for commercial
purposes, in a commercially meaningful manner, a NatWest Product (as applicable)
as soon as commercially reasonable and practicable, and in any case within [*]
months following the Effective Date. Such time period shall be extended by any
period in which there is a delay in InterTrust's delivery of the Commerce 1.0
(GA Version) software beyond that set forth as of the Effective Date in Exhibit
A hereto, or there exists a Material Defect in the Commerce 1.0 software that
materially impedes NatWest's development efforts as relevant, but only for the
period from the date that NatWest shows such efforts to have been first
materially impeded to the date such defect has been reasonably corrected or
mitigated as provided in Section 2.2((b)).
(b) Compliance with InterTrust Specifications.
-----------------------------------------
(i) Products and Services. NatWest shall not commence the
---------------------
distribution, sale or other transfer of any specific NatWest Product, or perform
any service directly relating to InterTrust Technology, unless such products
and/or services are in Compliance with InterTrust Specifications. Such
InterTrust Specifications shall be established and applied in a
nondiscriminatory and consistent manner with respect to all Persons regarding
similar products, services, and/or circumstances directly related to use.
InterTrust Specifications promulgated as of the Effective Date are set forth in
Exhibit C hereto.
(ii) Compliance with New Specifications. InterTrust may, from time to
---- ----------------------------------
time, modify InterTrust Specifications to accommodate changes in InterTrust
Technology, and/or any related InterTrust product development, for such purposes
as, for example, improving architectural integrity, functional capability,
standardization, security capability, efficiency, and/or interoperability of
technology, components, products and/or services that use InterTrust Technology
(a "New Specification"). InterTrust shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
-----------------
maintain compatibility between a New Specification and the then-preceding
Specification taking into account benefits of performance, functionality,
security enhancements, growth of installed base and
---------- * CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN
FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
12
CONFIDENTIAL
range of supported platforms, and potential burden resulting from version
incompatibility. Priority shall be given to considerations of security,
interoperability and platform support in evaluating when such compatibility is
not commercially appropriate. To the extent InterTrust releases a New
Specification that applies to any portion of a NatWest Product and/or service
associated with InterTrust Technology then being performed or distributed by
NatWest (as applicable), NatWest shall bring any further such products delivered
to Customers, and/or any such services (as applicable), into Compliance with
such New Specification as of the earliest to occur of: (A) the next version,
release, or production cycle of such NatWest Product and/or such associated
service (the "Next Version"), as earlier applicable, but only to the extent that
------------
NatWest receives notice of such New Specification within a reasonably sufficient
time of such Next Version to accommodate new aspects of such New Specification;
and (B) [*] months after NatWest receives a released copy of such New
Specification. InterTrust and NatWest further agree that NatWest shall, within
[*] months after receiving a released copy of such New Specification,
implement such new aspects of such New Specification for all applicable services
supporting and/or employing NatWest Products and/or any other products employing
InterTrust Technology provided to Customers and not meeting such New
Specification. Notwithstanding the foregoing, should serious technical
interoperability and/or security requirements commercially necessitate more
prompt action, NatWest and InterTrust will confer and agree upon more
aggressive, practical schedules (taking into account the severity of security
and interoperability concerns) feasible to ensure Compliance with the New
Specification for all NatWest Products and any services relating to InterTrust
Technology. Under such conditions, NatWest shall take whatever commercially
appropriate steps are reasonable and required under the circumstances to
minimize or eliminate (as may be necessary) a continuation of such
interoperability and/or security problems. InterTrust represents to NatWest that
all Core Partner Agreements existing as of the Effective Date contain
substantially similar commitments regarding compliance by such Core Partner with
InterTrust Specifications and New Specifications as provided for in this Section
0(0). If during the term of this Agreement InterTrust [*].
(c) Compliance Testing.
------------------
(i) Purpose. NatWest acknowledges that:(1) in support of InterTrust
-------
Technology, InterTrust will implement one or more certification programs
designed to ensure that licensed products and/or associated services (including
NatWest Products) use InterTrust Technology and/or Modified Technology in
Compliance with InterTrust Specifications in accordance with this Agreement (the
"Certification Program(s)"); and (2) such Certification Program(s) is (are)
------------------------
critical to maintaining the reliability, interoperability, and tamper resistance
of products and services employing InterTrust Technology and/or Modified
Technology, and in maintaining public confidence in the integrity of InterTrust
Technology and/or brands as the resource for interoperable electronic commerce.
In establishing its Certification Programs, as may be modified from time to
time, InterTrust shall use reasonable efforts to establish policies supporting
efficient certification of products and services based upon InterTrust
Technology, subject, in InterTrust's discretion, to achieving the aforementioned
goals of certification. As appropriate under the circumstances as determined by
InterTrust, such alternatives may, under certain circumstances, include: (A) the
pre-certification of certain components of InterTrust Technology for use in
NatWest Products; (B) providing test programs or suites amenable for self
certification or preliminary assessment of certifiability; and/or (C) otherwise
supporting certification policies and/or technology that enables reasonable
certification efficiency and Compliance with InterTrust Specifications. Any
Certification Program(s) established by or for InterTrust for Development
Partners shall be applied in a nondiscriminatory and consistent manner with
respect to NatWest and all other Persons providing similar products and/or
services.
(ii) Certification Requirements. Consistent with the foregoing,
--------------------------
prior to NatWest's first commercial use, or distribution, sale, or other
transfer, of a NatWest Product or associated service (as applicable) InterTrust
may require NatWest's: (1) use of a suite of test software provided by
InterTrust (or an InterTrust
---------- * CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN
FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
13
CONFIDENTIAL
delegate ("Delegate") in accordance herewith) to test and verify that
--------
NatWest Products (and/or associated services) are, at least in part, in
Compliance with InterTrust Specifications; and/or (2) submission of samples to
InterTrust (and/or an InterTrust Delegate) of such NatWest Products (in Object
Code form unless Source Code is necessary or reasonably appropriate) and
associated programs, parameter data, and other information that may be
technically material to ascertain Compliance with InterTrust Specifications
and/or to allow InterTrust (or a Delegate) to perform confidential testing
("Certification Testing"). To the extent that options (1) or (2) immediately
---------------------
above do not, or can not reasonably be anticipated to, provide sufficient
information to verify Compliance, such Certification Program(s) may also require
the provision to InterTrust and/or an InterTrust Delegate of detailed
specifications and documentation related to NatWest's use of InterTrust
Technology and Modified Technology for NatWest Products, and/or any associated
services, but only to the extent that any such specifications and documentation
are reasonably requested for certification assessment purposes and may be
material to Certification Testing. All specifications and documentation provided
by NatWest in connection with any such Certification Program(s) shall be
authenticated in writing by an authorized representative of NatWest, and no
NatWest Product and/or associated service shall be made commercially available
hereunder unless it has become a Compliant Product (defined below). Any such
Delegate performing certification in connection with NatWest Products and
associated services hereunder shall: (A) not have commercial interests
materially adverse to NatWest; and (B) have agreed to enter into a
confidentiality agreement to maintain the confidentiality of NatWest
Confidential Information.
(iii) InterTrust Certification Response. In connection with any
---------------------------------
submissions made to InterTrust or an InterTrust Delegate in connection with a
Certification Program, InterTrust (or such Delegate) will respond in a
reasonably prompt manner recognizing product delivery time frames as appropriate
following receipt of submitted products and access to, or receipt of technology
supporting, such service, unless commercially reasonable factors result in
prolonging such response. Such response shall be in the form of: (1) a written
approval that the product or service is certified (a "Compliant Product")
-----------------
(NatWest Products and services relating to InterTrust Technology not being
Compliant until such certification has been granted); or (2) if not approved, a
summary, with reasonable details as feasible, of problems and, where feasible,
suggested solutions.
(iv) Costs. To defray costs associated with the performance and
-----
administration of the Certification Program, in connection with the
certification of any product or service NatWest shall be charged a reasonable
fee not to exceed U.S. software industry norms for similar testing activities as
may be available (and, if in part or in full conducted or managed by InterTrust,
not more than the full cost incurred by InterTrust in performing, administering,
and/or managing such tests, and, to the extent conducted by a Delegate, not more
than fees charged by such Delegate to NatWest and InterTrust). An estimate of
such fee shall be provided to NatWest, as applicable, as soon as reasonably
practical upon NatWest's submission of samples or documentation for and access
to services, for testing, and such fee shall be paid by NatWest in accordance
with standard U.S. software industry practices.
(d) Documentation Format. NatWest may modify the format of Distributable
--------------------
Documentation and supplement the content thereof, but only in a manner
consistent with such Distributable Documentation, to the extent reasonably
necessary to enable NatWest's Customers to utilize NatWest Products and/or
associated services. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement, NatWest may,
at its expense, translate, or have translated for it, the Distributable
Documentation into any appropriate language for purposes of delivery to its
Customers or its own internal use. InterTrust shall have the right to receive
and approve (to the extent referencing InterTrust Technology and/or capabilities
and/or functions enabled by InterTrust Technology) any non-English translations
made by or for NatWest of documentation provided by NatWest concerning NatWest
Products and any related services (including Distributable Documentation),
legends and notices required pursuant to Section 0 hereof and other required
notices, and all versions of InterTrust Technology.
4.2 Customer and Clearing Agreements.
--------------------------------
(a) Basic Requirements. NatWest shall distribute NatWest Products only to
------------------
Customers (and perform associated services only for Customers), and only after
NatWest shall have first notified and required
14
CONFIDENTIAL
such Person to become bound by a form of customer agreement ("Customer
--------
Agreement") for such NatWest Product (and/or associated service) appropriate for
---------
such Customer (such as whether such Customer is an end-user or intends to
further distribute NatWest Product) as provided by NatWest. Such Customer
Agreement forms shall have terms relating to InterTrust Technology and
InterTrust's rights and interests consistent with and reflective of the terms of
this Agreement. Such Customer Agreement shall also have terms consistent with,
reflective of, and based upon the items set forth in Exhibit D hereto
(collectively, the "InterTrust Terms"). Such InterTrust Terms shall be signed by
----------------
an InterTrust Designated Officer and appended to Exhibit D, and NatWest and
InterTrust may from time to time supplement or amend Exhibit D as provided in
Section 0(0).
(b) Additional Provisions. The approved InterTrust Terms shall be used
---------------------
by NatWest in all Customer Agreements unless and until: (i) NatWest requests a
modification of the InterTrust Terms and InterTrust consents in its discretion
in writing to such modification; or (ii) InterTrust reasonably requires that
NatWest alter the InterTrust Terms where such alteration is needed to prevent or
mitigate any impairment of any part of its Intellectual Property Rights, or any
impairment of the security and/or interoperability of InterTrust Technology and
applications and/or services based thereon, for example in view of court
decisions and/or applicable regulations and/or newly available information.
Such alteration to the InterTrust Terms shall be signed by an InterTrust
Designated Officer and attached to Exhibit D in accordance herewith. NatWest
agrees and acknowledges that NatWest's compliance with this Section 4.2((b))
with respect to any specific Customer shall constitute a condition precedent to
the licenses granted under Section 3 hereof with respect to any such Customer's
use of NatWest Products and/or associated services. To the extent any InterTrust
Terms are deemed, or are reasonably believed by InterTrust to have a substantial
likelihood of being deemed, unenforceable or otherwise ineffective in any
relevant jurisdiction, NatWest shall, upon becoming aware of such InterTrust
Terms being deemed unenforceable or otherwise ineffective, or upon receiving
written notice from InterTrust as to such reasonable belief, substitute new
terms provided by InterTrust concerning such unenforceable or ineffective
provision in such Customer Agreement forms or existing Customer Agreements, and
take other actions as reasonably specified by InterTrust related to such
unenforceability concerns, including reforming, modifying and/or canceling any
such Customer Agreement if necessary to provide InterTrust with the legally
enforceable protection contemplated hereunder.
(c) InterTrust Terms Review. Under no circumstances: (i) shall any such
-----------------------
review by InterTrust of InterTrust Terms and/or any terms of any Customer
Agreement subsequently be interpreted and/or used as comments of InterTrust to
be relied upon by NatWest in any manner whatsoever regarding compliance of such
InterTrust Terms and/or such Customer Agreement terms with the provisions of
this Agreement; and/or (ii) shall any such review or lack of review by
InterTrust be deemed (1) binding on InterTrust or constitute any waiver of any
rights whatsoever hereunder by InterTrust and/or (2) an admission or waiver of
any kind whatsoever under any circumstances whatsoever, except that NatWest may
rely on InterTrust Terms attached to Exhibit D hereto as amended from time to
time in accordance herewith.
(d) Clearing Agreement. Where NatWest is performing any Clearinghouse
------------------
Function services for a Person selling, acting as lessor or licensor of,
vending, or in any comparable manner providing rights related to Content, or
performing any other activities constituting a Content Transaction for
consideration for such Content (a "Vendor"), NatWest shall have a written
------
agreement with such Vendor concerning such performance of Clearinghouse
Functions, and such agreement shall contain (in addition to the InterTrust
Terms, as applicable), at minimum, provisions: (i) requiring such Vendor to
report and certify Customer's Portion Information (as defined in Section
5.1((b)) hereof) to NatWest in writing, and regularly update such reported
information (consistent with the timing of NatWest's obligation to remit
royalties pursuant to Section 5.2 hereof) in the event of any change thereof;
(ii) terminating such agreement in the instance that such reported information
is found to have been materially or intentionally misrepresented or repeatedly
negligently reported; and (iii) permitting InterTrust to act as a third party
beneficiary (with the right to enforce) those provisions set forth in the
preceding subparagraphs (i) and (ii) under the law of such jurisdiction and
venue as set forth in the InterTrust Terms, unless any such terms are prohibited
by applicable law, and then as reasonably agreed by the Parties.
4.3 Notices and Branding.
--------------------
15
CONFIDENTIAL
(a) Product Notices. NatWest shall place Notices (as hereinafter defined)
---------------
on all NatWest Products, and Distributable Documentation: (i) in the "about
box," or (ii) at such other equivalent location(s) as may be required to provide
legally sufficient notice and/or as reasonably agreed in writing by InterTrust
and NatWest, such as on certain screens generated by or including the NatWest
Products and/or any associated services, and at such other locations as
appropriate to protect InterTrust's Intellectual Property or as may be
reasonable practice in the U.S. software industry. For purposes of this
Agreement, the term "Notices" shall consist of: (i) Intellectual Property
Rights, warranty, and disclaimer notices; and (ii) field of use notices
consistent with the terms of this Agreement (including protection of InterTrust
rights recognized hereby) as all such notices may be reasonably amended by
InterTrust from time to time consistent with the provisions of Section
4.2((b)), and this Agreement. A representative version of such Notices as of
the Effective Date are attached hereto as Exhibit E. NatWest shall not remove,
alter, cover, obfuscate and/or otherwise deface any InterTrust Trademarks or
Notices on any InterTrust Technology or associated documentation, marketing and
advertising materials therefor, and shall contractually prohibit any and all
Customers from -- and take commercially reasonable efforts to enforce such
prohibitions against any Person known by NatWest to be in breach of such
provisions concerning -- removing, altering, covering, obfuscating or otherwise
defacing of any InterTrust Trademarks or Notices on any InterTrust Technology
or associated documentation, marketing and advertising materials therefor.
Compliance with subsections (i) and (ii) immediately above (following notice
and opportunity to cure in accordance with the provisions of Section 13.2
hereof) shall constitute a condition precedent to the licenses granted under
Section 3 hereof with respect to those specific NatWest Products and/or
associated services not in compliance herewith.
(b) InterTrust Branding. NatWest shall, in accordance with the provisions
-------------------
of this Section 4.3((b)) and InterTrust's reasonable instructions provided from
time to time by InterTrust to NatWest, place the InterTrust brands as specified
below on all NatWest Products and associated services, Distributable
Documentation, marketing, sales, and advertising materials therefor, packaging
for any physical media containing any such products or services, on
initialization and/or start-up screens of any NatWest Products and/or
associated services, or such screens generated by or including the NatWest
Products and/or any associated services.
The InterTrust brands shall be the symbol or ▇▇▇▇ denoting Compliance of such
NatWest Products and/or associated services with InterTrust Specifications,
including the statement that such NatWest Products or associated services are
"InterTrustworthy" or "InterTrustable" (as such symbol or ▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇ be amended by
InterTrust from time to time consistent with the provisions of Section 4.4((e))
hereof). Such branding shall be located and appear in the manner specified by
InterTrust, which shall be prominent, although secondary to the brands of
NatWest and/or a NatWest Customer on a NatWest Product and/or service. Such
InterTrust branding shall be prominent, but not unreasonably detract from, or
interfere with, such other brands. NatWest shall not remove, alter, cover,
obfuscate and/or otherwise deface any InterTrust brands and shall contractually
prohibit its Customers from, and take commercially reasonable efforts to enforce
such prohibitions against any Customer known to NatWest to be in breach of such
provision concerning, the removal, alteration, covering, obfuscation or
otherwise defacing of such InterTrust brands.
(c) NatWest Product Branding. NatWest Products that are: (i)
------------------------
Clearinghouse Products (and/or services associated therewith) shall be branded
and marketed solely under NatWest Trademarks; and (ii) Application Products
(and/or services associated therewith) shall be branded and marketed solely
under NatWest Trademarks or "Co-Branded" (as defined below) under a NatWest
----------
Trademark and the trademark of a Customer in accordance with the provisions
hereof (except where use of InterTrust Trademarks is also required herein, or
other trademarks of Persons are also included in a limited manner to identify
other technology or services associated with such NatWest Product and/or
associated service), and in all events in accordance with the provisions of
Section 4.5 and other provisions hereof. As used herein, "Co-Branded" means that
----------
both a NatWest Trademark brand and the brand of a NatWest Customer appear on a
NatWest Product and/or associated service; provided that the NatWest brand shall
-------- ----
at least be clearly evident and prominent in all instances of branding usage
without unreasonably detracting from or interfering with such NatWest Customer
brand. References to Clearinghouse Function services with, in, or otherwise
related to NatWest Products that are Application Products, and/or services
through which NatWest provides Clearinghouse Function services shall be
prominently branded solely under NatWest Trademarks (except as provided under
Section 4.3((b)) including prominent branding on screens and/or user interfaces
directly relating to initiating and/or reporting on transactions, and
16
CONFIDENTIAL
materially prominent, though potentially secondary, mention on other splash
screens and/or other relevant screens visible to end users. If NatWest is not
performing the Clearinghouse Function services for any NatWest Product and/or
associated service then, in addition to the foregoing with respect to a Co-
Branded Product, the NatWest Trademark Brand shall occupy not less than [*]% of
the aggregate presentation area in any NatWest Product and/or associated service
dedicated to the presentation of any brands. In no event shall branding be
employed that may be in any manner unclear that the branding and provision of
Clearinghouse Products (and/or services associated therewith) is provided solely
by NatWest.
(d) Network Notices. At InterTrust's option and upon NatWest's approval,
---------------
which shall not be unreasonably withheld given the balance of commercial
reasons, NatWest Web pages that materially promote or otherwise support NatWest
Products, and/or associated services and InterTrust Technology (and/or at least
one NatWest Web page that materially promotes NatWest Products and/or associated
services if no Web pages materially promote or otherwise support InterTrust
Technology) shall contain a graphical banner provided by InterTrust and a link
to a Web page provided by InterTrust on the Internet or the equivalent thereof
on any other public electronic network that materially promotes InterTrust
Technology. At NatWest's option and upon InterTrust's approval, which shall not
be unreasonably withheld given the balance of commercial reasons, InterTrust Web
pages that materially promote or otherwise support InterTrust Technology and
NatWest Products and/or associated services (and/or at least one InterTrust Web
page that materially promotes InterTrust Technology if no Web pages materially
promote or otherwise support NatWest Products and/or associated services) shall
contain a graphical banner provided by NatWest and a link to a Web page provided
by NatWest on the Internet or the equivalent thereof on any other public
electronic network that materially promotes NatWest Products and/or associated
services so long as NatWest treats InterTrust as its preferred partner for
Secure Container and/or Digital Rights Management technologies.
(e) Prospective Notice. The Notices shall be effective beginning on the
------------------
date InterTrust gives NatWest written notice thereof and NatWest shall implement
and/or comply with applicable portions thereof as soon as reasonably
commercially practicable thereafter.
4.4 InterTrust Trademarks.
---------------------
(a) Standards. NatWest recognizes the importance of InterTrust's
---------
reputation and goodwill as the provider of a commercial trust environment and in
connection with NatWest's use and distribution of licensed products and services
bearing InterTrust Trademarks. Consequently, to maintain InterTrust's interest
in and rights to the InterTrust Trademarks NatWest shall utilize the InterTrust
Trademarks in accordance with reasonable trademark guidelines (which may include
approved samples and exemplars) as may be provided to NatWest by InterTrust.
Such trademark guidelines shall include a list of InterTrust Trademarks and
shall specify restrictions on use, if any, including permitted and prohibited
countries and jurisdictions. InterTrust Trademarks and trademark guidelines as
of the Effective Date are initially listed on Exhibit B attached hereto, and may
be modified by InterTrust from time to time upon InterTrust's provision to
NatWest of reasonable prior written notice. Any such modification shall not
include any names, logos or marks that substantially conflict, create a
likelihood of confusion with, or cause substantial or material dilution of any
then-existing trademark rights of NatWest.
(b) Trademark Ownership; Contestability. NatWest acknowledges and agrees
-----------------------------------
that all uses of InterTrust Trademarks as permitted hereunder, and goodwill
associated therewith, shall inure solely to the benefit of InterTrust. NatWest
shall not contest the validity of any InterTrust Trademarks (or registrations
thereof or applications with respect thereto), or InterTrust's exclusive
ownership of the InterTrust Trademarks or their associated goodwill: (i) with
respect to any InterTrust Trademarks included on Exhibit B as of the Effective
Date ("Initial Trademarks"); and/or (ii) with respect to any InterTrust
------------------
Trademarks later added to such Exhibit B in accordance with Section 4.4((a))
("Added Trademarks") (provided that NatWest uses such Added Trademarks in
----------------
commerce during the term hereof). NatWest agrees to make available to
InterTrust, upon request with reasonable notice, samples of records and other
documentary evidence as is (are) retained in the ordinary course of

or confusingly similar to any of the Initial Trademarks, or Added Trademarks
used in commerce by NatWest at any time, and shall not register or attempt to
register any marks identical with or confusingly similar to any Initial
Trademarks or any Added Trademarks used in commerce by NatWest at any time
during the term hereof. NatWest also shall not knowingly permit to be used or
affixed (and shall take commercially reasonable steps to prohibit Customer from
using or affixing) any trademark on any NatWest Product supplied to such
Customer to the extent such trademark could reasonably be thought to be
confusingly similar to or create any market confusion with any trademarks used
by such Customer in connection with any products or services using Secure
Container technology (other than InterTrust Technology Secure Containers).
(d) Approvals. InterTrust shall have the right to review (reasonably
---------
prior to first commercial use) and to approve (which approval shall not be
unreasonably withheld or delayed) all uses of InterTrust Trademarks, including
any use thereof on NatWest Products, and in connection with associated services
(including performance of Clearinghouse Functions) provided by NatWest relating
to products and applications employing InterTrust Technology and/or Modified
Technology, and in related documentation and marketing materials. Uses or
ranges of uses of InterTrust Trademarks approved in writing by InterTrust may be
used by NatWest in connection with NatWest Products and/or associated services,
and all applicable related documentation and marketing materials until
InterTrust informs NatWest in writing that such use or range of uses is no
longer approved, and such notification shall take effect in the manner set forth
in Section 4.3((e)) hereof.
(e) Prospective Notice. Changes in the InterTrust Trademarks and
------------------
associated standards of quality shall be effective beginning on the date
InterTrust gives NatWest written notice thereof and NatWest shall, as soon as
reasonably commercially practicable thereafter, implement and/or comply with
such respective portions thereof.
4.5 NatWest's Use of NatWest Trademarks on NatWest Products. To promote the
-------------------------------------------------------
branded and distinct identity of any NatWest Products, or associated services,
NatWest acknowledges and agrees that any trademark or logo used by NatWest
and/or a NatWest Customer (with respect to Co-Branded NatWest Products) in
commerce to specifically identify, label or market any such products or services
(other than trademarks or logos that serve to generally identify NatWest or such
NatWest Customer) shall not, concurrently or thereafter, be used to identify any
product or service other than such NatWest Products, and associated services,
whether by NatWest, such NatWest Customer, or pursuant to license from NatWest.
4.6 NatWest Trademarks. InterTrust shall obtain permission from NatWest for any
------------------
use of NatWest's Trademarks in connection with marketing activities (which
permission shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) and shall comply with
NatWest's instructions provided in writing by NatWest concerning such further
use of any NatWest Trademarks, except that InterTrust shall have the royalty
free, nontransferable (except as provided in Section 14.4) worldwide right to
use the NatWest Trademarks and other NatWest trademarks as selected by NatWest,
solely in connection with any publicity in accordance with Sections 4.3((d)),
7.1, 7.2 and 9.3 hereof. InterTrust shall comply with all reasonable trademark
guidelines provided in writing by NatWest concerning such use of any NatWest
Trademarks which guidelines shall specify restrictions on use, including
permitted countries and jurisdictions. The provisions of Section 4.4 shall apply
reciprocally to InterTrust with respect to NatWest Trademarks as it applies to
NatWest with respect to InterTrust Trademarks, and InterTrust shall comply with
such provisions. NatWest Trademarks and trademark guidelines as of the Effective
Date are listed on Exhibit B attached hereto, and may be reasonably modified by
NatWest from time to time upon NatWest's provision to InterTrust of reasonable
prior written notice thereof. Any such modification will not include any names,
logos or marks that substantially conflict with, create a likelihood of

otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, within [*] days after the end of
each calendar quarter, NatWest shall pay InterTrust all amounts due and/or
payable pursuant to the licenses and support provided hereunder, and received

with each royalty payment, NatWest shall provide to InterTrust a written royalty
report, certified to be accurate by an officer of NatWest specifying: (i) the
revenues derived by NatWest that are subject to royalties during each calendar
month of such quarter; (ii) the basis for calculation of the amounts due and

calculation of the amounts due and payable to InterTrust hereunder shall be
determined in accordance with recognized and generally accepted U.S. accounting
procedures and principles that shall be consistently applied to all such
payments.
5.3 Currency. Gross Commercial Value and all consideration received by NatWest
--------
pursuant to Section 5.1((b)) in a currency other than U.S. dollars shall be
converted by NatWest to U.S. dollars on a monthly basis for purposes of payment
to InterTrust on a quarterly basis according to the rate of exchange for such
currency, as published by The Wall Street Journal (Western Edition) on the last
business day during each calendar month of a calendar quarter for which such
royalties are due. If The Wall Street Journal (Western Edition, or main edition
in absence of a Western Edition) ceases or fails to publish such rate of
exchange at any time during the term of this Agreement, the rate of exchange
during any such period of cessation shall be such rate as published by the Bank
of America (San Francisco, California) or its legal successor on the last
working day of such calendar quarter for which such royalties are due. In the
event all of the above cease to operate, the Parties shall reasonably agree upon
another internationally reputable source for such rate of exchange.
5.4 Taxes. NatWest shall pay taxes, including but not limited to withholding
-----
taxes, imposed by any foreign government or any other jurisdictions outside of
the United States, as applicable, on all fees and royalties payable to
InterTrust under this Agreement. NatWest shall be responsible for payment of
all sales, use, value-added and other taxes, duties and other charges that may
fall due with respect to the transfer to or licensing, reproduction,
distribution, and/or use by NatWest of the NatWest Products, and with respect to
NatWest's activities with respect to the Clearinghouse Functions. InterTrust
shall be responsible for payment of all sales, use, value-added and other taxes
that may be imposed by the United States government on InterTrust with respect
to the transfer or licensing to NatWest of the InterTrust Technology hereunder
or with respect to the payments received hereunder.
5.5 Interest. NatWest agrees that all sums owed or payable to InterTrust
--------
hereunder shall bear interest (compounded daily) at the rate of [*] percent
([*]%) per month or [*] percentage ([*]%) points above the U.S. Prime Rate on an
annualized basis as published at the end of a calendar quarter for which such
royalties are due, whichever is higher, or such lower rate as may be the maximum
rate permitted under applicable law, from the date upon which payment of the
same shall first become due up to and including the date of payment thereof
whether before or after judgment, and that NatWest shall be additionally liable
for all costs and expenses of collection, including, without limitation,
reasonable fees for attorneys and court costs. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
such specified rate of interest shall not excuse or in any way whatsoever be
construed as a waiver of NatWest's express obligation to timely provide any and
all payments due to InterTrust hereunder.

5.6 Audit. NatWest shall maintain during the term of this Agreement and for a
-----
period of five (5) years thereafter all books, records, accounts, and technical
materials regarding NatWest's activities in connection herewith sufficient to
determine and confirm NatWest's royalty obligations hereunder. Upon InterTrust's
request, NatWest will permit an independent auditor from one of the five largest
international accounting firms of InterTrust's choice (subject to NatWest's
consent, which shall not be unreasonably withheld or delayed) to examine and
audit, at InterTrust's expense, during a reasonable time (but no more than [*]
during a [*] month period), such books, records, accounts, documentation and
materials, and take extracts therefrom or make copies thereof for the purpose of
verifying the correctness of reported royalty statements and payments provided
by NatWest. Prior to such audit, InterTrust shall cause such independent auditor
to execute a written confidentiality agreement supplied by NatWest, which shall
contain terms that are commercially reasonable under the circumstances and are
designed to reasonably protect the confidentiality of NatWest's information.
NatWest shall pay any unpaid delinquent amounts disclosed by such audit within
ten (10) days of InterTrust's request; provided that any such payment shall not

provided hereunder, resulting from controversies or litigation asserted by any

--------------------------
Modified Technology or other modifications thereto made by NatWest or any third
Person or combinations of the InterTrust Technology with any product, technology

modification or combination and not from the InterTrust Technology by itself as
contained in such modification or combination; or (2) the use of any InterTrust
Technology in any manner inconsistent with InterTrust Specifications or
Documentation to the extent that such Claim would have been avoided in the
absence of such inconsistent use.

------------------
harmless from any and all Claims or portions thereof to the extent awarded by a

InterTrust Technology as directly provided to NatWest by InterTrust in the
absence of NatWest activities hereunder, and further, except to the extent
NatWest is indemnified by InterTrust under Section 11.1 ((a)) hereof; and (iv)
any Claim relating to the Indemnification Exclusions.
(c) Third Party Claims. In case any Claim is brought by a third Person
------------------
for which Claim indemnification is or may be provided hereunder, the indemnified
Party shall provide prompt written notice thereof to the other Party. Where
obligated to indemnify such Claim, the indemnifying Party shall, upon the demand
and at the option of the indemnified Party, assume the defense thereof (at the
expense of the indemnifying Party) within thirty (30) days or at least ten (10)
days prior to the time a response is due in such case, whichever occurs first,
or, alternatively upon the demand and at the option of the indemnified Party,
pay to such Party all reasonable costs and expenses, including reasonable
attorneys' fees, incurred by such Party in defending itself. The Parties shall
cooperate reasonably with each other in the defense of any Claim, including
making available (except as expressly set forth herein to the contrary, and in
all events under the strongest protective order reasonably available) all
records necessary to the defense of such Claim, and the indemnified Party shall

defense of the Claim. Notwithstanding the foregoing (and any other Section of
this Agreement), it is understood and acknowledged that InterTrust need not
under any circumstance provide Top Secret Information except as expressly

foregoing, in the event of any Claim or threatened Claim that [*] any [*]: (a)

and exclusive remedy in connection with such Claim, threatened Claim or action
of InterTrust in accordance with this Section 0(0), to terminate the licenses
granted hereunder upon thirty (30) days prior written notice; and (2) InterTrust
may, and without any liability whatsoever, terminate the licenses granted
hereunder as to such portion upon thirty (30) days prior written notice if in
the good faith opinion of InterTrust or its professional advisors, InterTrust
has a material risk of liability from NatWest's continued use of such portion of
InterTrust Technology.
11.2 Cumulative Remedies. Except as expressly provided herein to the contrary,
-------------------
no remedy made available to a Party by any of the provisions of this Agreement
is intended to be exclusive of any other remedy, and each and every remedy shall
be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other remedy given hereunder or

of the covenants set forth in Sections 3.5, 5.6, 8,9, 13.2, 13.3, or 14.4

thereof materially breach or threaten a material breach or anticipatory
repudiation of any of such provisions, in addition to any other right or remedy
available, the other Party shall be entitled: (i) to obtain an injunction
against the breaching Party and such Party's Agents thereof, from a court of
competent jurisdiction restraining such breach or threatened breach; and (ii) to
specific performance of any such provision of this Agreement.

receiving such written notice of such default, the defaulting Party remedies the
default; or (ii) in the case of a default that cannot with ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ due diligence
be cured within such sixty day period, the defaulting Party institutes, within
[*] days of the commencement of the Cure Period, steps necessary to remedy the
default and thereafter employs best efforts to diligently prosecute the same to
completion (collectively, as applicable, the Cure Period"), at the end of such
---------------
Cure Period the non-defaulting Party may terminate this Agreement.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Cure Period associated with a NatWest breach
of its payment obligations under Section 5 shall be [*] days. Notwithstanding

substantially all of its properties relevant to its business activities under

terminate this Agreement this Agreement in the event InterTrust is in breach of
the representations set forth in Section 10.2((b)); or
(d) Upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to NatWest, InterTrust may

and/or makes no release of any NatWest Product commercially available for any
consecutive [*] month period during the term of this Agreement,
provided that such time period shall be extended by any period in which there
exists a Material Defect in the Commerce 1.0 software that materially impedes
NatWest's development efforts as relevant, but only for the period from the date
that NatWest shows such effort to have been first materially impeded to the date
such defect has been reasonably corrected or mitigated as provided in Section
0(0); (ii) fails to timely make payments due under this Agreement on two or more
occasions over a twelve (12) month period; or (iii) engages in conduct directly

incorporation or use by such third Persons in products and/or applications for
other customers, including end users (and provided that the foregoing provisions
of this subparagraph (iii) shall not be construed to include licensed activities
as set forth herein).
13.3 Effect of Termination. Upon the expiration or termination of this
---------------------
Agreement: (i) all licenses granted hereunder shall automatically terminate;
(ii) InterTrust shall have the right to retain all sums already paid by NatWest

product or service that in the absence of a license hereunder would infringe any

of NatWest Products and any associated services); provided, however, that all
-------- ------- ----
licenses properly granted to end-users pursuant to the then-existing Customer
Agreements solely for Applications Products shall continue in full force and

Confidential or Top Secret Information ("Party Disputes") shall be governed
--------------
solely by, and construed solely in accordance with, the laws of the United

---------------------------------------
comply with all applicable U.S. and foreign federal, state, and local laws,
rules and regulations relating to the execution, delivery and performance of
this Agreement and to the InterTrust Technology Products and Modified
Technology. NatWest acknowledges that because one or more aspects of the
InterTrust Technology is likely to be subject to the export control laws,
regulations and requirements of the United States and other jurisdictions,
NatWest Products likely will require export and other approvals as well.

conflict with InterTrust's interests; or (ii) without InterTrust's prior written
consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld; provided that NatWest
-------- ----
may, without the prior written consent of InterTrust, assign its rights and
obligations hereunder to (x) any wholly-owned NatWest affiliate or (y) any
Person in connection with any merger or sale of substantially all of NatWest's
assets and business; provided further that such affiliate or such Person, as
-------- ------- ----
applicable, does not have commercial interests materially in conflict with
InterTrust's interests and such successor in interest or transferee assumes in
writing NatWest's rights and obligations under this Agreement. InterTrust shall
not assign or transfer (whether expressly, by operation of law or otherwise)
this Agreement or its rights or obligations hereunder to any Person without
NatWest's prior written consent, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Notwithstanding the foregoing, InterTrust shall be entitled to assign
or transfer such rights or obligations hereunder in connection with any merger
or sale of substantially all of the assets or business related to this Agreement
without such NatWest consent; provided that the successor-in-interest or
-------- ----
transferee assumes in writing InterTrust's rights and obligations under this
Agreement and consents to the licenses hereunder. Subject to the foregoing,
this Agreement will benefit and bind the successors and permitted assigns of the
Parties. Any attempted transfer or assignment without such consent shall be
null and void ab initio and of no force or effect.

CONFIDENTIALITY PROVISIONS AND FORMS OF INTERTRUST CONFIDENTIALITY AGREEMENTS
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
CONFIDENTIALITY PROVISIONS
--------------------------
1. InterTrust Information.
----------------------
(a) Confidential Information. To the extent that NatWest receives from
------------------------
InterTrust under this Agreement any InterTrust Technology or any other
information or technology that is marked "Confidential" when disclosed in
written form, or indicated as "Confidential" when disclosed orally ("InterTrust
----------
Confidential Information"), NatWest shall hold such InterTrust Confidential
------------------------
Information in strict confidence and in a manner that is: (i) sufficiently
secure for the character and content of the InterTrust Confidential Information;
and (ii) not less secure than procedures used by NatWest to protect its
comparably important information and technology. NatWest shall not, without the
prior written consent of an InterTrust Designated Officer, use, disclose,
provide or otherwise make available any InterTrust Confidential Information to
any Person, except to any employee, director, agent or professional consultant
(collectively "Agents") of NatWest who does not have a potential conflict of
------
interest with InterTrust Technology. Furthermore, in each case of disclosure to
an Agent of NatWest access to such InterTrust Confidential Information shall be
allowed only to Agents who have a reasonable need to know such InterTrust
Confidential Information, and then only to the extent necessary to enable
NatWest to use InterTrust Confidential Information solely to exercise its
license hereunder and/or as expressly allowed hereunder. NatWest shall, as the
case may be: (a) require their Agents having access to any portion of InterTrust
Confidential Information to strictly maintain its confidentiality; and (b)
ensure that each such Agent shall have executed with NatWest a written non-
disclosure/non-use agreement in the form set forth in this Exhibit G or as
subsequently provided by InterTrust, or NatWest's applicable form agreement
which shall effectively and comparably bind such Agent to an agreement of the
same scope as InterTrust's form agreement, and which such form agreement shall
be subject to InterTrust's reasonable prior written approval. Upon such
approval, the form agreement shall replace the pre-existing such form agreement.
NatWest shall notify InterTrust promptly in writing of any unauthorized
disclosure or other misuse or misappropriation of any portions of the InterTrust
Confidential Information which may come to the attention of a NatWest officer.
NatWest shall maintain a log of the Agents accessing and the location of all
originals and copies of material excerpts of technical Confidential Information.
NatWest shall be fully responsible for any breach of its obligations under this
Agreement by any Agent to whom such Confidential Information is disclosed. Any
obligation of NatWest to keep InterTrust Confidential Information in confidence
shall expire thirty-six (36) months after disclosure of such information by
InterTrust to NatWest; provided that InterTrust Technology shall be kept
-------- ----
confidential in perpetuity.
(b) Top Secret Information. In order to protect InterTrust's rights, the
----------------------
rights of InterTrust licensees, and the secure interoperability and reputation
of InterTrust implementations, NatWest shall treat any InterTrust Technology or
other confidential information that is either marked "Top Secret" when disclosed
in written form, or indicated as "Top Secret" when disclosed orally ("Top Secret
----------
Information") in a manner not less secure than NatWest's most secret information
-----------
and, in all events in a manner sufficient to ensure the security of such Top
Secret Information, given such great sensitivity of such Top Secret Information.
NatWest shall allow disclosure of such Top Secret Information to no more than
[*] designated individual employees of NatWest at any time (and to no Agents
who are not employees), each of whom has a direct need to know such information
or be exposed to such Top Secret Information (as agreed in each case by
InterTrust) and then only to the extent necessary for NatWest to
---------- * CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED. CONFIDENTIAL PORTION HAS BEEN
FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION.
CONFIDENTIAL
use Top Secret Information solely to exercise its rights and perform its
obligations under this Agreement. NatWest shall not substitute any employee
designated to receive Top Secret Information with another employee, unless such
designated employee's employment with NatWest has been terminated and such
person is no longer able to serve the intended role. None of such employees
shall receive a disclosure of any such Top Secret Information until: (i) such
employee executes an InterTrust Top Secrecy Agreement (in the form set forth in
this Exhibit G or as subsequently provided by InterTrust in writing) covering
such information and exposure; and (ii) an original executed copy of such
agreement is received by InterTrust, with return receipt provided to NatWest,
which such receipt may be provided by fax communication if so requested in
writing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, NatWest and NatWest employees described
above shall make no physical embodiments (for example, any reproduction or copy,
including descriptive notes) whatsoever of Top Secret Information, without the
prior express written authorization of an InterTrust Designated Officer, nor
shall NatWest or such NatWest employees disclose any Top Secret Information to
any Person, except as described in this Section 1 of this Exhibit G. If NatWest
becomes aware that any Top Secret Information has been disclosed or treated
other than as set forth in this Section 1 of this Exhibit G, and/or as specified
in a Top Secrecy Agreement, NatWest shall immediately inform InterTrust of such
occurrence and take immediate steps to correct such compromise. NatWest shall
maintain a log of the employees accessing and location of all originals and
other tangible embodiments of all Top Secret Information. NatWest shall be fully
responsible for any breach by any NatWest employee of this Agreement related to
the unauthorized use or disclosure of Top Secret Information.
2. NatWest Information. To the extent that InterTrust receives NatWest
-------------------
confidential information that is either marked "Confidential" when disclosed in
written form or indicated as "Confidential" when disclosed orally ("NatWest
-------
Confidential Information"), under this Agreement, InterTrust shall hold such
------------------------
NatWest Confidential Information in confidence in a manner that is sufficiently
secure for the character and content of the information and under no
circumstances shall such NatWest Confidential Information be held in a manner
that is less secure than procedures used by InterTrust in connection with its
comparably important information. Except as to the disclosure by NatWest of the
Modified Technology or such disclosures inherent in the Certification Testing of
NatWest Products and/or any associated services pursuant hereto, and only to the
extent expressly specified by InterTrust Specifications, NatWest shall not
disclose or otherwise provide or make available any NatWest Confidential
Information which is directly related to InterTrust Technology and InterTrust's
business activities, without first acquiring written approval from an InterTrust
Designated Officer. InterTrust shall not use, disclose, provide or otherwise
make available any NatWest Confidential Information it has received in any form
to any person except an Agent of InterTrust. In a disclosure to Agents of
InterTrust, access to NatWest Confidential Information shall be allowed only to
Agents who have a reasonable need to know such confidential information and only
to the extent necessary to enable InterTrust to use confidential information to
exercise its rights and perform its obligations hereunder. InterTrust shall:
(a) require its Agents having access to any portion of confidential information
to strictly maintain its confidentiality; and (b) ensure that each such Agent
shall have executed with InterTrust a written non-disclosure/non-use agreement
to be provided by NatWest, and attached as part of this Exhibit G, or
InterTrust's applicable form agreement which shall effectively and comparably
bind such Agent to an agreement of the same scope as NatWest's form agreement,
and which InterTrust form agreement shall be subject to NatWest's reasonable
prior written approval. Upon such approval, the InterTrust form agreement shall
replace the relevant portion of this Exhibit G. InterTrust agrees to notify
NatWest promptly in writing of any unauthorized disclosure or other misuse or
misappropriation of NatWest Confidential Information provided to InterTrust
which may come to the attention of an InterTrust officer. InterTrust shall be
fully responsible for any breach of InterTrust's obligations under this
Agreement by any Agent to whom such NatWest Confidential Information has been
disclosed. Any obligation of InterTrust to keep NatWest information in
confidence shall expire thirty-six (36) months after
CONFIDENTIAL
disclosure of such information by NatWest to InterTrust.
3. Exceptions. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 1 and 2 above, the
----------
confidentiality restrictions herein shall not apply to information that the
recipient thereof can demonstrate: (i) is or becomes generally known to the
public through no breach of any of these obligations, as of the date such
information becomes so known; (ii) is or shall have been independently developed
by such recipient (as demonstrated by recipient's written records) by employees
who had no access to such information; or (iii) is or shall have been rightfully
received, with no obligation of confidentiality or non-use, by such recipient
from any Person (other than as a result of another Person's breach of an
obligation of confidentiality to the discloser of such information), as of the
date such information is so received. In the case of Top Secret Information,
however, the availability to NatWest of information that is, or is substantially
equivalent to Top Secret Information based upon Section (i), (ii) and/or (iii)
above shall not, in any manner, diminish NatWest's obligations with respect to
the Top Secret Information provided by InterTrust to NatWest (and all copies or
derivatives thereof), and NatWest shall be prohibited from further disclosing to
third parties any such information in NatWest's possession based upon the
foregoing subsection (i), (ii) and/or (iii). In the event any Party is required
by law, regulation or order of a court or other authority of competent
jurisdiction to disclose the other Party's Confidential Information, such Party
shall notify such other Party as promptly as possible, and shall, upon such
other Party's request, reasonably assist in challenging or restricting the scope
of such required disclosure. Top Secret information may be disclosed only for
in camera inspection, or otherwise upon the prior written approval of an
-- ------
InterTrust Designated Officer. In all events, a Party subject to such required
disclosure shall disclose only such information that is strictly required
pursuant thereto and no further information.
4. Return/Destruction. Each Party shall deliver to the other Party within ten
------------------
(10) days from the date of termination of this Agreement or as soon as is
reasonably practicable thereafter (except as relates to Top Secret Information)
(and provided that in no event shall such period exceed thirty (30) days) all
copies of all materials protected as Confidential Information or Top Secret
Information under this Agreement (the "Return Period"). Such returned
-------------
information shall include all copies in the possession or under the control of
such Party or their Agents; provided that with respect to non-tangible copies of
-------- ----
such information, rather than returning such non-tangible copies the receiving
Party may elect to fully and securely destroy such copies (e.g., in the case of
----
a computer file, permanently deleting such files) and provide the disclosing
Party during the Return Period with an affidavit or declaration signed by an
officer with knowledge of the facts certifying that all such non-tangible copies
have been so destroyed. Return of Confidential Information shall be by
commercially secure means as reasonably specified by the disclosing Party.
Return of Top Secret Information shall be made, at InterTrust's option as
specified by an InterTrust Designated Officer by written instruction to NatWest:
(a) by physical and secure pickup at NatWest's offices by an InterTrust officer
designated in writing by such InterTrust Designated Officer; or (b) as otherwise
may be determined by InterTrust as commercially reasonable. Such delivery shall
be during normal business hours and in each instance to the hands of an
InterTrust officer who receives a listing of the contents of such delivery
certified by an officer of NatWest and audited and countersigned by such
InterTrust officer. Within one (1) month after the termination of this
Agreement in the case of Top Secret Information and two (2) months after the
termination of this Agreement in the case of Confidential Information, each
Party will certify in writing to the other Party (as applicable hereunder) that,
to the best of its knowledge, all such materials and tangible embodiments have
been delivered to the other Party.

Confidential.

(a) Except as otherwise provided in an express written agreement signed
by InterTrust's Chairman, or other such person designated in writing by the
Chairman (a "Designated InterTrust Officer"), Recipient agrees that he or she
-----------------------------

authorized by the License Agreement: (iii) use said Top Secret Information in no
other way whatsoever; (iv) apply the strictest feasible measures to protect the

produce no physical embodiments of any portion of the Top Secret Information
without the express written authorization of a Designated InterTrust Officer.
Recipient agrees to notify InterTrust promptly in writing of any unauthorized
disclosure or other misuse or misappropriation of the InterTrust Top Secret

(b) Notwithstanding the foregoing, Recipient shall be entitled to
disclose Top Secret Information pursuant to a court order issued by a court of
competent jurisdiction or as otherwise required by law; provided that Recipient
-------- ----
shall provide prompt advance notice thereof to InterTrust to

------------------
InterTrust Top Secret Information will cause InterTrust substantial and
irreparable damage. Recipient further agrees that it may be impossible or
inadequate to measure and calculate InterTrust's damages from any breach of the
covenants set forth in Sections 2 and/or 3 hereof. Accordingly, Recipient
agrees that if he or she breaches or threatens breach of any of such sections,
InterTrust will have available, in addition to any other right or remedy
available, the right to obtain an injunction against him or her, from a court of
competent jurisdiction restraining such breach or threatened breach and to
specific performance of any such provision of this Agreement, and Recipient
hereby consents to the issuance of such injunction and to the ordering of
specific performance under such circumstances.

Commonwealth of Virginia, without reference to conflict of law principles. All
disputes arising out of or relating to the subject matter of this Agreement
shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction and venue of the United States
District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division
Virginia, or if jurisdiction does not properly lie in such court, the
Commonwealth courts in Alexandria, Virginia. The parties consent to the
personal and exclusive jurisdiction and venue of such court and waive any
argument that jurisdiction or venue in such court is improper or inconvenient.
6 Severability; Export Compliance. If any provision or portion thereof in
-------------------------------
this Agreement shall be found or be held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable
in any jurisdiction in which this Agreement is being performed, then this
Agreement shall nevertheless be given full force and effect without said
provision or portion. Recipient certifies that no Top Secret Information, or
any portion thereof, will be exported to any country in violation of U.S. export
regulations or other regulations applicable to Recipient and such information.
7 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement between

written agreement dated subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed by
both parties.

----------
Agreement will inure to the benefit of and be binding upon the parties, their
successors and assigns.

The parties agree as follows:
1. Pursuant to a Technology Development, Marketing and License Agreement dated
August 18, 1998 between InterTrust and NatWest (the "License Agreement"),
-----------------
InterTrust may disclose to NatWest certain confidential information including
technical information embodied in and/or associated with InterTrust's InterTrust
Technology including, without limitation, software products and/or other
developments related to distributed, secure rights and/or event management,
associated designs, inventions, plans, and other information (the "Confidential
------------
Information"), all of which such information shall conspicuously be marked with
-----------
a notice or legend with the phrase "Confidential", as provided in the License
Agreement. In consideration for such Confidential Information being provided to
Recipient, Recipient agrees to be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
Disclosure of InterTrust Confidential Information to Recipient, and use and

Technology), Recipient will retain such Confidential Information in confidence,
and will discuss such Confidential Information only with other NatWest
employees, other individuals who are under the direct control of NatWest and
work full time on NatWest premises (an "Individual Consultant"), -- all of whom
---------------------
shall have a need to know said Confidential Information and who have executed a
copy of this Agreement. Recipient shall not, without the prior written
permission of InterTrust's Chairman or such other InterTrust Officer as who has
been designated in writing by InterTrust's Chairman (a "Designated InterTrust

-------
forth immediately above. Furthermore, without express written authorization of a
NatWest officer who is empowered by NatWest to provide such an authorization,
the Recipient will not make copies, in whole or in part, of the Confidential
Information, including translating, in whole or in part, the Confidential
Information into another language and/or shipping the Confidential Information,
in whole or in part, or any direct product thereof, to any other country. The
undersigned will not use the Confidential Information in any manner that is not
authorized by NatWest and in accordance with the License Agreement and the
undersigned will use the Confidential Information solely in the exercise of
NatWest's rights as provided by the License Agreement. Under no circumstances
will any information subject to the export or import laws of any jurisdiction be
transferred pursuant to their agreement without proper prior certification and
notification of appropriate regulatory offices in applicable jurisdictions and
InterTrust.
3. The undersigned will not use Confidential Information except in fulfillment
of the undersigned employee's and/or other individual's obligations with
NatWest, and for no other purposes whatsoever. The undersigned understands and
acknowledges that the unauthorized use of Confidential Information may cause
InterTrust very substantial damage, for which damages may be impossible to
measure or inadequate to compensate. Accordingly, Recipient agrees that if he or
she breaches or threatens breach of any of such sections, InterTrust will have
available, in addition to any other right or remedy available, the right to
obtain an injunction against him or her, from a court of competent jurisdiction
restraining such breach or threatened
CONFIDENTIAL
breach and to specific performance of any such provision of this Agreement, and
Recipient hereby consents to the issuance of such injunction and to the ordering
of specific performance under such circumstances.
4. The undersigned will return all physical embodiments of Confidential
Information in the undersigned's possession to InterTrust promptly upon request
by InterTrust, and in no event later than fifteen (15) days thereafter.
5. Notwithstanding any thing else in this Agreement, the confidentiality
restrictions of this Agreement shall not apply to information that: (i) is or
becomes known to the public through no breach of any of the undersigned's
obligations under this Agreement, or NatWest's or any other NatWest employee's,
obligations of confidentiality to NatWest and/or to InterTrust; (ii) was known
to Recipient prior to its disclosure by InterTrust, as evidenced through written
documentation; (iii) shall have been independently developed by the Recipient
without any reliance on or use of any InterTrust Confidential Information, as
demonstrated through written documentation; or (iv) shall have been rightfully
supplied to Recipient, with no obligation of confidentiality or non-use from a
third party without any breach of any obligation of confidentiality to
InterTrust or NatWest (as applicable) as of the date such information is so
supplied. In addition, the Recipient shall be entitled to disclose Confidential
Information pursuant to a court order issued by a court of competent
jurisdiction or as otherwise required by law; provided that the undersigned
-------- ----
