assigning party prior to such event. Any attempted assignment in
contravention of this Section 8.2, by operation of law or otherwise, shall
be null and void. This Agreement shall bind and inure to the benefit of
successors and assigns. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, if any
rights to Informix Source Code are granted to Licensee hereunder, or if

proposed assignment shall be required, and shall be in Informix's sole and
absolute discretion.

subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may not be modified except
in writing, signed by an officer of Informix and a duly authorized
representative of Licensee, and expressly referring to this Agreement.

for administrative convenience only. In the event of any conflict between
this Agreement and any purchase order, this Agreement shall prevail.

plural, and vice versa, where the context requires. Section headings are
for purposes of convenience and shall not be considered part of this
Agreement.

in accordance with the laws of California, U.S.A. The United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods shall not apply
to any transactions under this Agreement, whether between Informix and
Licensee, or between Licensee and any Sublicensee. Licensee hereby submits

in any suit instituted under this Agreement will be entitled to recover all
costs, expenses and reasonable attorneys' fees incurred in such action.
8.10 EFFECT OF INVALID SECTION. If any provision of this Agreement is declared
invalid by any tribunal, then such provision shall automatically be revised
to the minimum extent necessary to the requirements for validity as
declared at such time and, as so adjusted, shall be deemed a provision of

Unless otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, all amounts due to
Informix hereunder shall be paid by Licensee to the address specified on
the invoice. Anything to the contrary notwithstanding, Informix may invoice
Licensee thirty (30) or more days prior to the due date of any specified

Product or other material to Licensee, or which become due based on any
transaction under this Agreement, shall be paid directly by Licensee or
Licensee shall reimburse Informix following receipt of Informix's invoice
for any such amount paid by Informix. If Licensee supplies Informix with
tax exemption certificates issued by the appropriate taxing authorities
which result in abatement of the tax and refund of previously paid taxes,
then Licensee shall be similarly relieved of liability for such tax, and
shall receive a refund of any amounts previously paid to Informix on
account thereof. Any such refund shall be paid within thirty (30) days of
Informix's receipt of the refund from the appropriate taxing authority. If
an audit of either party by a governmental authority results in an
assessment of any such taxes, tariffs or other charges, Licensee shall pay
