any related remedies) do not exceed those provided by Primus to Distributor

all Evaluators comply with their obligations under all such Agreements.
3.4.3 Execution of Agreements. Distributor shall execute agreements with
Sub-Distributors, End Users and Evaluators only in its own name (and not that of
Primus). Distributor shall provide Primus with an accurate summary in English of

to in this section as "Distribution Records".
3.7.1 Records. For each License Agreement, Support and Maintenance
Agreement and Sub-Distribution Agreement executed, the Distribution Records
shall include at a minimum: (i) the name and address of the End User or Sub-
Distributor; (ii) the dates of shipment; (iii) a copy of each such Agreement,

Distributor shall provide accurate copies of the requested Distribution Records
or any requested information contained in the Distribution Records to Primus in
English; provided, however, that Primus may request such information no more
frequently than once per quarter. Upon ten (10) days prior written notice,
Primus may inspect, audit, and copy the Distribution Records and access the
servers on which the Software is installed, at any time during the regular
business hours of the user thereof, but only for the purposes of determining
that (i) Primus has been properly paid all fees to which it is entitled under
this Agreement, and (ii) no infringement of Primus' intellectual property rights
with respect to the Software, the Documentation or the Trademarks has occurred.
Unless an audit discloses a material discrepancy in favor of Distributor or any
of its sub-distributors, Primus may exercise such audit rights no more than once
during any twelve (12) month period. In the event of any understatement of any
Software license fees or Primus Maintenance fees due to Primus, Distributor
shall promptly pay such fees at the Applicable List Price, and Primus will
extend this Agreement to correct any such deficiency. This remedy and Primus'
acceptance of any payment shall be without prejudice to any additional rights or
remedies of Primus under this Agreement or applicable law.

presently required for licensing and distribution of the Software in the
Territory.
3.8.2 US Export Control. Distributor shall comply with all then applicable
US export control laws and regulations in connection with its distribution of
the Software and Documentation, and the disclosure of any technical information
related thereto.

Maintenance Revenue Realized by Distributor during the relevant quarter shall be
deemed to be eighteen percent (18%) of the Distributor's Resale Price for the
Software with respect to which Distributor Realizes Gross Software Revenue
during the quarter.
7.3 Provisions Relating to Gross Revenue. For the purposes of this Section 7,
------------------------------------
"Gross Revenue" means Gross Software Revenue and Gross Maintenance Revenue.
7.3.1 Realization of Gross Revenue. Gross Revenue will be deemed to be
"Realized" on the first to occur of (i) the date on which any royalties,
sublicensing fees, End-User Maintenance fees or other revenues are paid to
Distributor; and (ii) the ninetieth (90th) day following the execution of the
applicable License Agreement or Support and Maintenance Agreement by an End-User
(or any amendment thereto).
7.3.2 Gross Revenue from Bundled or Promotional Transactions. The Gross
Revenue in a unit-priced transaction (e.g., bundled transactions, discount or
promotional offers, and the like) involving both (i) the Software or End User
Maintenance (or both), and (ii) one or more other products or services provided
by Distributor, will be the greater of: (i) Distributor's stand-alone price
associated with the Software or the End User Maintenance in transactions
involving the Software or End User Maintenance alone; and (ii) the actual
revenue realized by Distributor in the unit-priced transaction, prorated between
the Software or End User Maintenance (or both) and such other products and
services in accordance with their respective stand-alone prices.
7.3.3 Exclusions from Gross Revenue. Gross Revenue does not include (i)
revenues realized by Distributor in connection with the licensing or support and
maintenance of separately identified and priced software that is developed,
licensed, or otherwise acquired by Distributor which Distributor may combine for
distribution purposes with all or part of the Software; or (ii) amounts received
by Distributor that are attributable to separately itemized and billed shipping
costs and insurance or to sales taxes or similar taxes.
7.4 No Charge for Internal Use and Evaluations. Distributor shall not be
------------------------------------------
required to pay Primus Software royalties or fees for Primus Maintenance with
respect to: (i) Software that Distributor uses internally pursuant to the
internal use license granted under Section 2.2.4; and (ii) Software used by
Evaluators; provided always, however, that Distributor does not permit any
evaluation to extend beyond thirty (30) days without Primus' prior written
consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
7.5 Splits. If Primus sub-licenses any Software within the Territory as part of
------
a transaction involving an End-User whose head office is located outside the
Territory, or if Licensee sub-licenses any Software outside the Territory as
part of a transaction involving an End User whose head office is located within
the Territory, then Primus and Licensee shall split equally between them the
Software license fees and support and maintenance fees payable by the End User.
In the event of any multiple-territory transaction where Distributor and Primus'
other distributors, agents or representatives cannot mutually resolve their
respective shares in the compensation arising from the customer order, then
Primus may, in its sole and absolute discretion, allocate the Software license
fees, End User Maintenance fees, and the responsibility for providing End User
Maintenance among them (less, in the case of Distributor, any compensation
payable to Primus under this Agreement).
7.4 Referrals. If a customer in the Territory prefers to sub-license Software
---------
or purchase services directly from Primus for use in the Territory, and if
Distributor's appointment with respect to such Software is non-exclusive, then
Distributor shall refer the customer to Primus. If the customer sub-licenses
Software from Primus as a direct result of Distributor's activities, and within
six (6) months of Distributor's last substantial contact with the customer
concerning the Software, then Primus shall pay Distributor a referral fee equal
to the "Referral Percentage" of the software license fees recognized in
accordance with US generally accepted accounting principles by Primus from such
customer in the first year of the sub-license term. "Referral Percentage" means
the percentage amount specified in Table E.
7.5 Applicable List Price; Distributor's Discount. The Applicable List Price
---------------------------------------------
contains a list of Software license and End User Maintenance fees recommended by
Primus for use by Distributor in distributing the Software and providing End
User Maintenance in the Territory. If Distributor wishes to sub-license Software
or provide End User Maintenance at less than the Applicable List Price, or if
Distributor wants to provide any Person with an option to acquire rights to the
Software or End User Maintenance at less than the Applicable List Price, then
Distributor shall first provide Primus with not less than five (5) business days
prior written notice. Notwithstanding any of the foregoing, Distributor shall be
under no obligation to sub-license the Software or provide End User Maintenance
to End Users at the Applicable List Price, but may price the Software and End
User Maintenance in its reasonable discretion.
7.6 Payment Terms. Unless another date is specified in this Agreement, all
-------------
payments by Distributor to Primus shall be due within thirty (30) days of the
date of Primus' invoice. Distributor shall make all payments in United States
currency, in readily available funds. Overdue payments shall accrue interest at
the lesser of US prime rate on the date of the invoice plus five percent (5%)
per annum, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law. If any sums require
Page 8 of 21
conversion into US currency, then the conversion rate shall be that published in
the Wall Street Journal for the fifteenth day of the month in which Primus
delivers its invoice to Distributor or, if no rate is published for the
fifteenth day, the next day on which the rate is published.
7.7 Taxes; Withholding. As between Distributor and Primus, Distributor shall be
------------------
solely responsible for any applicable sales, use, or any value added or similar
taxes (collectively, "Sales Taxes") payable under, or arising out of or in
connection with this Agreement, other than taxes imposed in the United States
based upon Primus' income. Any prices, fee schedules or invoices provided by
Primus are exclusive of any Sales Taxes, unless specifically stated otherwise.
Upon request by Primus, Distributor shall promptly furnish Primus with copies of
tax receipts and other documents evidencing the withholding and payment of any
local taxes applicable to Primus, so that Primus may file for a tax credit.
Distributor shall cooperate with Primus in taking all such steps and filing all
such documents as Primus reasonably requests to minimize any such withholding.
Section 8. Trademark Matters
8.1 License to Use Trademarks. Primus hereby grants Distributor a non-exclusive
-------------------------
license, with right to sub-license to Sub-Distributors, to use the Trademarks in
the Territory during the Distribution Term, solely in connection with: (i) the
promotion, marketing, licensing, and distribution of the Software; and (ii) the
provision of End User Maintenance and of implementation and training services
related to the Software. Primus reserves all other rights to the Trademarks.
8.2 Proprietary Notices; Use of Trademarks; Approval of Promotional Materials.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Distributor shall not remove, obscure or alter any notice of copyright, trade
secret, trademark or other proprietary right appearing in or on any Software or
Documentation or any related packaging and shall ensure that each copy of all or
any portion of the Software or Documentation made by Distributor includes such
notices. Distributor shall clearly indicate the ownership of the Trademarks by
Primus whenever it uses the Trademarks. Distributor shall comply with the
trademark usage guidelines and procedures established by Primus from time to
time. Upon request by Primus, Distributor shall provide Primus with an
opportunity to inspect and approve any packaging, descriptive or promotional
materials pertaining to the Software and Documentation or otherwise containing
references to the Trademarks. Distributor may appropriately use its own
trademarks and trade names in connection with distributing the Software, subject
to Primus' prior written approval. Any goodwill arising out of use of the
Trademarks by Distributor or any Sub-Distributor shall inure solely to the
benefit of Primus.
8.3 No Infringement. Distributor shall not at any time adopt, use or register
---------------
any identical or similar ▇▇▇▇ or symbol or combination thereof which infringes
any of the Trademarks. If Distributor has already done or attempted to do so,
directly or indirectly, Distributor shall immediately assign all rights to such
▇▇▇▇ or symbol to Primus. In no event shall Distributor use the name "Primus" or
any of the Trademarks (whether or not registered) except as expressly permitted
under this Agreement.

infringement of any intellectual property right of any third party, then Primus
may: (a) procure the continuing right of Distributor to use the Software; (b)
replace or modify the Software in a functionally equivalent manner so that it no
longer infringes; or (c) except as otherwise specified in Schedule 5, terminate
the Distribution Term with respect to the Software subject to the infringement

governing the use and protection of "Confidential Information" (as defined

Terms and Conditions
Section 1. Definitions.
1.1 "Confidential Information" means any and all information disclosed by
Owner that is identified as "confidential" or "proprietary," either by legend on
written or electronically stored material, or in advance if disclosed verbally.
Confidential Information includes, without limitation, research and development,
know-how, inventions, trade secrets, software, and market analysis, research,
strategies, projections and forecasts. Confidential Information also includes,
without limitation, information disclosed by Owner with permission from a third
party, and combinations of or with publicly known information where the nature
of the combination is not publicly known.
1.1.1 Exceptions. Confidential Information does not include information
which:
(a) was publicly known at the time of Owner's communication thereof to
Recipient, or which subsequently becomes publicly known through no fault of
Recipient;
(b) was in the possession of Recipient prior to its being communicated to
Recipient by Owner;
(c) becomes available to Recipient on a non-confidential basis from a source
other than Owner, provided that such source is not bound by any obligation
of confidentiality to Owner with respect to such information; or
(d) was independently developed by Recipient without reference to the
Confidential Information communicated by Owner.
Section 2. Covenant Not to Disclose.
Recipient shall not use Owner's Confidential Information except for purposes of
evaluating, maintaining and furthering a business relationship with Owner.
Recipient shall maintain in confidence the Confidential Information received
from Owner and shall not directly or indirectly disclose such information to any
person or entity except Recipient's employees and consultants, and then only on
a need-to-know basis. Recipient shall ensure that such employees and
consultants are bound by a written agreement to protect the received
Confidential Information from unauthorized use and disclosure. Recipient shall
protect Owner's Confidential Information from disclosure to others using the
same degree of care that it uses to protect its own most highly confidential
information, but in no event less than a reasonable standard of care. Recipient
shall not make or distribute any more copies or summaries of Owner's
Confidential Information than are necessary to evaluate, maintain and further a
business relationship between the Parties, and shall ensure that all such copies
or summaries are marked as confidential and the property of Owner.
Section 3. No Obligation Of Disclosure.
Neither Party shall have any obligation to disclose its Confidential Information
to the other. Either Party may, at any time, cease providing its Confidential
Information to the other Party, and may require the return of Confidential
Information previously disclosed by written notice.
Section 4. Disclosure Required By Law.
If any applicable law, regulation or court order requires Recipient to disclose
any of Owner's Confidential Information, Recipient shall promptly notify Owner
in writing prior to making any such disclosure, in order to facilitate Owner's
efforts to protect its Confidential Information. In such circumstances,
Recipient shall cooperate with
Page 12 of 34
Owner, at Owner's reasonable expense, in seeking and obtaining protection for
Owner's Confidential Information.
Section 5. Title.
Owner shall retain all ownership rights in and to the Confidential Information
it discloses to Recipient. No licenses or rights under any patent, trademark,
copyright, trade secret or other intellectual property right shall be granted or
implied under this Agreement. Neither Party shall be obligated under this
Agreement to acquire from or provide to the other Party any service or product.
Section 6. Termination.
Either Party may terminate this Agreement at any time without cause upon written
notice to the other party. All obligations of confidentiality shall survive such
termination. Upon termination of this Agreement, Recipient shall promptly return
all of Owner's Confidential Information provided to it in tangible form,
together with any and all copies and/or summaries, and shall destroy all of
Owner's Confidential Information that is electronically stored; provided,
however, that each Party's legal department may retain one copy of the
Confidential Information in its file solely for the purpose of identifying
information designated as "Confidential Information."
Section 7. Specific Performance.
The Parties acknowledge that Confidential Information is unique and valuable,
and that Owner will have no adequate remedy at law if Recipient does not comply
with its obligations under this Agreement. Therefore, Owner shall have the
right, in addition to any other rights it may have, to obtain in any court of
competent jurisdiction temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to
restrain any breach, threatened breach, or otherwise to specifically enforce any
obligations of Recipient if Recipient fails to perform any of its obligations
under this Agreement.
Section 8. Miscellaneous.
8.1. Dispute Resolution.
8.1.1 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be governed by and interpreted in
accordance with the internal laws of the State of Washington, and, where such
laws are preempted by the laws of the United States, by the internal laws of the
United States, in each case without regard to conflicts of laws principles.
8.1.2 Arbitration. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of
or relating to this Agreement or the breach or interpretation thereof, the
parties shall, upon five days notice from either one to the other, submit
themselves and the subject-matter of the dispute to arbitration in accordance
with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association by
a single, disinterested arbitrator appointed in accordance with such Rules. The
determination of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and binding.
Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court of any state or
country having jurisdiction. Each party shall ensure that any arbitration is
conducted as speedily as is reasonably possible, and that all and any
information disclosed during or in connection with the arbitration is treated by
each party with the strictest confidence. Any arbitration conducted under or in
connection with this Agreement shall take place in Seattle, Washington at a time
and location to be determined by the arbitrator.
8.1.3 Interim and Permanent Relief. Upon the application of either party to
this Agreement, and whether or not an arbitration has yet been initiated, all
courts having jurisdiction over one or more of the parties are authorized to:
(i) issue and enforce in any lawful manner such temporary restraining orders,
preliminary injunctions and other interim measures of relief as may be necessary
to prevent harm to a party's interests or as otherwise may be appropriate
pending the conclusion of arbitration proceedings pursuant to this Agreement;
and (ii) enter and enforce in any lawful manner such judgments for permanent
equitable relief as may be necessary to prevent harm to a party's interests or
as otherwise may be appropriate following the issuance of arbitral awards
pursuant to this Agreement.
8.1.4 Legal Expenses. If any proceeding is brought by either party to
enforce or interpret any provision of this Agreement, the substantially
prevailing party in such proceeding shall be entitled to recover, in addition to
all other relief arising out of this Agreement, such party's reasonable
attorneys' and other experts' fees and expenses.
8.2 Waiver; Severability; Invalidity. No waiver of or with respect to any
provision of this Agreement, nor consent by a party to the breach of or
departure from any provision of this Agreement, shall in any event be binding on
or effective against such party unless it be in writing and signed by such
party, and then such waiver shall be effective only in the specific instance and
for the purpose for which given. If any provision of this Agreement is held to
be invalid, such invalidity shall not render invalid the remainder of this
Agreement or the remainder of which such invalid provision is a part. If any
provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be held unenforceable, such
provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
8.3 Notices. Any notice or other communication under this Agreement given
by either party to the other party shall be deemed to be properly given if given
in writing and delivered (i) by nationally recognized private courier (e.g.,
Federal Express) or (ii) by mail (return receipt requested), properly addressed
and stamped with the required postage, to the recipient at the address
identified in its signature block to this Agreement. Either party may from time
to time change its address by giving the other party notice of the change in
accordance with this Section.
8.4 Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes and embodies
the entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written,
electronic or oral communications, agreements or understandings between the
parties with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be modified or amended
except by a written instrument executed by the parties.

Page 16 of 34
installations of the Client Software made by Licensee and any Authorized User,

Sites, at any time during Licensee's regular business hours. Unless an audit
discloses a material discrepancy in Licensee's favor, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ may exercise
such audit rights no more than once during any twelve (12) month period. In the
event of any understatement of the license fees due, Licensee shall promptly pay
such fees based upon Primus KK's then current list price and, upon receipt of
such fees, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ will extend this License to correct any such deficiency.
Primus KK's acceptance of any payment shall be without prejudice to any other
rights or remedies of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ under this Agreement or applicable law. Upon
written request by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, Licensee shall transmit a current, complete and
correct copy of the log file for each copy of the Server Software to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇;
provided, however, that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ may not request a copy of the log file more
frequently than once a quarter, unless review of a log file has indicated
additional fees are due to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇.
Section 5. Additional Rights And Obligations.
5.1 Increase in Application Servers. Licensee may increase the number of
Application Servers at no charge. If Licensee wishes to increase the number of
Application Servers, then Licensee shall provide ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ with written notice
of (i) the quantity of additional Application Servers desired, (ii) the model,
serial number and ID of the server on which the Server Software is to be
installed, and its IP address, host ID and/or disk ID, and (iii) the location of
the Licensed Site. Upon written acceptance by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, Licensee may install
the Server Software on the additional Application Server. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ and Licensee
shall amend Table C accordingly.

and intended third party beneficiary of this Agreement who may enforce this
Agreement directly against Licensee.
5.5 Confidential Information. Neither ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ nor Licensee shall, with
respect to any Confidential Information which one of them (a "Recipient")
receives from the other (a "Discloser"), at any time, without the express prior

Confidential Information. Recipient shall use all reasonable procedures to
safeguard Discloser's Confidential Information.
5.6 Compliance With Law. Licensee shall comply with all applicable laws and
regulations in its use of the Software and Documentation. Without limiting the
generality of the foregoing, Licensee shall not export or re-export, directly or

agent, representative or contractor of Licensee or of any Authorized User),
Licensee shall use its best efforts to immediately terminate and prevent further
occurrences of such unauthorized use. If Licensee commences any legal proceeding
in connection with such unauthorized use, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ and Primus may, at
Primus KK's or Primus' option and expense, participate in or control any such
proceeding. In such event, Licensee, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ and Primus shall each provide the
other with such authority, information and assistance related to such proceeding
as may be reasonably necessary to safeguard Primus KK's and Primus' interests
and Licensee's rights under this Agreement.

6.1.1 Media. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ warrants to Licensee that the media on which the
Primus Software is delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ to Licensee will be free from defects

by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇.
6.1.3 Infringement. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ warrants to Licensee that use in accordance
with this Agreement of the Primus Software as delivered by Distributor does not
infringe: (i) to the best of Distributor's knowledge, any valid copyright in any
in Japan, or (ii) to Distributor's actual knowledge, any patent or trademark
existing under the laws of Japan.
6.2 Upstream Supplier Software Warranties. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ warrants to Licensee that
the Upstream Supplier Software, as delivered by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ to Licensee, will
conform to the warranties specified in Schedule 2.
6.3 Authority. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ warrants to Licensee that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ has all requisite
corporate authority to execute and deliver this Agreement, and that the
execution, delivery and performance of this Agreement by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ does not
conflict with any obligation of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ under any agreement or instrument to
which ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ is a party or by which it is bound.
6.4 Bugs and Abatement. Without limiting the foregoing, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ does not
warrant that the Software is free from all bugs, errors, or omissions. The
warranties in this Section 6.1 shall automatically ▇▇▇▇▇ to the extent that the
Software has been damaged, abused, modified, or combined with other software by
persons other than Primus KK's authorized employees or representatives, or other
than at Primus KK's express direction.
6.5 Performance Remedy. If any Software fails to comply with the warranties set
forth in Sections 6.1.1 and 6.1.2, and paragraphs A.1 and A.2 of Schedule 2, and
if Licensee provides written notice of the non-compliance to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ within
the warranty period then, except as otherwise specified in Schedule 2, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇
will either repair or, at its option, replace any non-complying media or
Software. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ is unable to correct the noncompliance within sixty (60)
days of
Page 17 of 34
receipt of such written notice from Licensee then, except as otherwise specified
in Schedule 2, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall (i), with respect to non-compliant Initial
Software, promptly refund all of the License fees paid for such Software and
terminate the License with respect to such Software, and (ii), with respect to
non-compliant New Software, promptly refund all of the most recent annual
Support and Maintenance Agreement fees paid by Licensee and attributable to the
development of such New Software, in each case (i) and (ii) in full and final
satisfaction of all and any of Licensee's claims arising out of media or
Software failure.
6.6 Infringement Remedy. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall defend and indemnify Licensee against
any proceeding based upon any failure to satisfy the warranties set forth in
Section 6.1.3 and paragraph A.3 of Schedule 2, provided that (a) Licensee shall
notify ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ in writing of any claim of infringement promptly after it has
been made, (b) ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ or its licensors shall have exclusive control over the
defense and settlement of the proceeding, (c) Licensee shall make no admission
of liability nor enter into any settlement without the prior written agreement
of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, (d) Licensee shall provide such assistance in defense of the
proceeding as ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ or Primus KK's licensors may reasonably request, at
Primus KK's reasonable expense, and (e) Licensee shall comply with any court
order or settlement made in connection with the proceeding. If use of the
Software is, or in Primus KK's reasonable opinion is likely to become, the
subject of a claim of infringement of any intellectual property right of any
third party, then ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall have the right to: (i) procure the continuing
right of Licensee to use the Software; (ii) replace or modify the Software in a
functionally equivalent manner so that it no longer infringes; or (iii) except
as otherwise specified in Schedule 2, terminate the License with respect to the
Software subject to the infringement claim and refund to Licensee an amount
equal to the depreciated License fees paid by Licensee for such Software
(calculated on a straight line basis over a five (5) year life).
6.7 Warranties Repeated For Replacements and New Software. The warranties and
other provisions of this Section 6 shall be automatically repeated for any
modifications of the Software delivered to remedy any non-compliance with the
warranties under Sections 6.1 and 6.2 and for any New Software, in each case
upon shipment of the same by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ to Licensee.
6.6 Disclaimer Of Implied Warranties. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ makes no representation or
warranty in connection with the Software, except as set forth in Sections 6.1,
6.2 and 6.3. EXCEPT AS SPECIFICALLY SET FORTH IN THIS SECTION 6, AND TO THE
MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ DISCLAIMS, FOR ITSELF AND
FOR PRIMUS, AND LICENSEE WAIVES AND RELEASES ALL RIGHTS AND REMEDIES OF
LICENSEE, AND ALL WARRANTIES, OBLIGATIONS, AND LIABILITIES OF [DISTRIBUTOR] OR
OF PRIMUS, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW OR OTHERWISE, WITH RESPECT TO ANY

involve (i) Primus Knowledge Solutions, Inc., a Washington, U.S.A. corporation
or its licensors (collectively, "Primus US"), (ii) the performance of the
Software, or (iii) any intellectual property rights pertaining to the Software,
then ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ and Licensee may jointly elect to (a) have any such Claim be
governed by Japanese law, and (b) resolve the Claim in Japan. Any such election

this Schedule 1, solely for the purposes of such Claim.
1.2 Mediation. In the event of any controversy or claim arising out of or
relating to this Agreement or the breach or interpretation thereof, the parties
shall, upon five days notice from either one to the other, submit themselves and
the subject-matter of the dispute to mediation before an independent mediator to
be appointed by the head office of the American Arbitration Association or,
unless the dispute involves (i) Primus US, (ii) the performance of the Software,
or (iii) any intellectual property rights pertaining to the Software, by such
other organization as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties. Costs of
mediation shall be borne equally between the parties.
1.3 Arbitration. In the event that the parties remain in dispute following the
mediation, the controversy or claim shall be determined by arbitration in
accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration
Association by a single, disinterested arbitrator or, unless the dispute
involves (i) Primus US, (ii) the performance of the Software, or (iii) any
intellectual property rights pertaining to the Software, in accordance with the
rules of such other organization as shall be mutually acceptable to the parties
such other. The arbitrator shall be appointed in accordance with the applicable
rules. The determination of the arbitrator shall be final, conclusive and
binding. Judgment upon the award rendered may be entered in any court of any
state or country having jurisdiction.

conducted as speedily as is reasonably possible, and that all and any
information disclosed during or in connection with the arbitration is treated by
each party with the strictest confidence.

Agreement, and whether or not an arbitration or mediation has yet been
initiated, all courts having jurisdiction over one or more of the parties are
authorized to: (i) issue and enforce in any lawful manner such temporary
restraining orders, preliminary injunctions and other interim measures of relief
as may be necessary to prevent harm to a party's interests or as otherwise may
be appropriate pending the conclusion of arbitration proceedings pursuant to
this Agreement; and (ii) enter and enforce in any lawful manner such judgments
for permanent equitable relief as may be necessary to prevent harm to a party's
interests or as otherwise may be appropriate following the issuance of arbitral
awards pursuant to this Agreement.
1.6 Venue. Any mediation or arbitration conducted under or in connection with
this Agreement shall take place at the location of party against whom the
proceeding is brought, at a time to be determined by the mediator or arbitrator,
as the case may be.
1.7 Legal Expenses. If any proceeding is brought by either party to enforce or
interpret any term or provision of this Agreement, the substantially prevailing
party in such proceeding (as determined by the arbitrator in its sole
discretion) shall be entitled to recover, in addition to all other relief
arising out of this Agreement, such party's reasonable attorneys' and other
experts' (including without limitation accountants) fees and expenses (as
determined by the arbitrator in its sole discretion.
2. Excused Performance; Force Majeure. If the performance of this Agreement is
adversely restricted by reason of any circumstances beyond the reasonable
control and without the fault or negligence of the party affected, then the
party affected, upon giving prompt written notice to the other party, shall be
excused from such performance on a day-to-day basis to the extent of such
restriction (and the other party shall likewise be excused from performance of
its obligations on a day-to-day basis to the extent such party's obligations
relate to the performance so restricted); provided, however, that the party so
affected shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to avoid or remove such
causes of non-performance and both parties shall proceed whenever such causes
are removed or cease.
3. Exclusion of Certain Claims. IN NO EVENT SHALL ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ OR PRIMUS US BE
LIABLE (WHETHER IN TORT OR CONTRACT, UNDER STATUTE OR OTHERWISE) FOR ANY
INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION DAMAGES FOR LOSS OF PROFITS, REPLACEMENT WITH SUBSTITUTE PRODUCTS,
BUSINESS INTERRUPTION, LOSS OF INFORMATION AND THE LIKE, ARISING OUT OF ITS
PERFORMANCE OR NONPERFORMANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT OR THE USE, INABILITY TO USE OR
RESULTS OF USE OF THE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES.
4. Limitation of Liability. Primus KK's liability arising out of this agreement
shall in no event exceed the fees paid by Licensee to ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ under this
Agreement.
5. Equitable Relief. Each of Licensee and ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ acknowledges that damages
will be an inadequate remedy if the other violates the terms of this Agreement,
or otherwise fails to perform its obligations hereunder. Accordingly, subject to
Section 1 of this Schedule, each of them shall have the right, in addition to
any other rights each of them may have, to obtain in any court of competent
jurisdiction, temporary, preliminary and permanent injunctive relief to restrain
any breach, threatened breach, or otherwise to specifically enforce any of the
obligations in this Agreement.
6. Waiver. No waiver of or with respect to any provision of this Agreement, nor
consent by a party to the breach of or departure from any provision of this
Agreement, shall in any event be binding on or effective against such party
unless it be in writing and signed by such party, and then such waiver shall be
effective only in the specific instance and for the purpose for which given.
7. Captions and Headings. The captions and headings are inserted in this
Agreement for convenience only, and shall not be deemed to limit or describe the
scope or intent of any provision of this Agreement.
8. Severability; Invalidity. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
invalid, such invalidity shall not render invalid the remainder of this
Agreement or the remainder of which such invalid provision is a part. If any
provision of this Agreement is so broad as to be held unenforceable, such
provision shall be interpreted to be only so broad as is enforceable.
9. Assignment. Licensee shall not assign any of its rights under this Agreement
without the prior written consent of ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. Distributor May assign all or any of its rights and obligations under
this Agreement to Primus upon expiration or termination of Distributor's rights
to distribute the Software. Subject to the foregoing restriction on assignment
by Licensee, this Agreement shall be binding upon, inure to the benefit of and

writing and delivered (i) by facsimile transmission (receipt
Page 19 of 34
confirmed) or (ii) by nationally recognized private courier, (e.g., Federal
Express) properly addressed and prepaid, to the recipient at the address
identified on the first page of this Agreement. Either party may from time to
time change its address by giving the other party notice of the change in
accordance with this Section.
11. Entire Agreement; Amendments. This Agreement constitutes and embodies the
entire agreement and understanding between the parties with respect to the
subject matter hereof and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous written,
electronic or oral communications, representations, agreements or understandings
between the parties with respect thereto. This Agreement may not be modified or
amended except by a written instrument executed by both parties. In the event of
any conflict between the provisions of this Agreement and the terms of any form
of purchase order or invoice, the provisions of this Agreement shall prevail.
Licensee's standard terms of purchase, if any, are inapplicable.
12. Counterparts. This Agreement and any amendments hereto may be executed in
one or more counterparts, which taken together shall constitute a single

Section 2. Primus KK's Provision of Services.
2.1 Technical Support. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall provide telephone, fax and electronic
support from its Seattle headquarters regarding use of the Software and
resolution of Errors Monday through Friday from 6.30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Tokyo
time. In addition, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall make on-call technical support staff
available for High Priority situations (as
Page 21 of 34
defined in Section 2.2.1 below) twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a
week. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall provide such support to up to two (2) support contacts
designated by Licensee who shall be knowledgeable in all aspects of Licensee's
operating environment. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall use all commercially reasonable efforts
to ensure that a technical support representative returns Licensee's call within
one hour of receiving Licensee's notification of a High Priority situation
(described below).
2.2 Support Response. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ will assign all Licensee requests for Error
support one of three response priorities. The priorities will dictate the timing
and nature of the response as follows:
2.2.1 High Priority. A major feature/function of the Software is not working or
the system integrity is at risk.
Response Goal: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to
provide a Fix or Workaround within twenty-four (24) hours of Licensee's report
of the problem. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ cannot provide the Fix or Workaround within the
twenty-four (24) hours ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ will dedicate resources to the problem
resolution and will inform Licensee on a daily basis of the resolution status.
2.2.2 Medium Priority. Licensee's work flow is inhibited or a non-major
feature/function of the Software is not working.
Response Goal: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to
provide a Fix or Workaround within two (2) business days of the Licensee's
report of the problem. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ cannot resolve the problem within the two
(2) business days, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ will inform Licensee on a weekly basis of the
resolution status.
2.2.3 Low Priority. Licensee has a problem which is not seriously impacting
Licensee's workflow.
Response Goal: ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to
provide a Fix or a Workaround within five (5) business days of Licensee's report
of the problem. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ cannot resolve the problem within the five (5)
business days, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ will provide Licensee with a status evaluation
regarding the ultimate resolution.
2.2.4 On-Site Visits. If ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ and Licensee mutually determine that ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇ may more effectively resolve a High Priority Error with an on-site visit to
Licensee's relevant location, then Licensee shall be responsible for Primus KK's
reasonable travel and living expenses incurred in conducting such visit. If
Licensee requests ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ to attend on-site for any other purpose, and ▇▇▇▇▇▇
▇▇ agrees, then Licensee shall pay ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ for Primus KK's services on a time
and materials basis, at Primus KK's then current daily rates, and shall
reimburse ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ for Primus KK's reasonable travel and living expenses.
2.3 Licensee Cooperation. Licensee acknowledges that ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ may not be able
to resolve an Error if Licensee does not use all commercially reasonable efforts
to cooperate with and assist ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ in resolving the Error (including,
without limitation, in replicating the Error, in retrieving workstation, server
and log file data relating to the Error, and in providing ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ with remote
access to Licensee's installation for support purposes).
2.4 Upgrades. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall provide Licensee with Upgrades as and when they
are made generally commercially available by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ to Primus KK's customers.
▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ may provide Licensee with Maintenance Releases if Licensee is
experiencing, or in Primus KK's sole discretion may experience a High Priority
situation. As specified in the License Agreement, Upgrades shall constitute
"Software" under the License Agreement.
2.5 Scope of Support and Upgrade Services. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall have no obligation
to correct Errors or support queries arising from Licensee's misuse or
alteration of the Software, failure or fluctuation of electrical power,
maintenance of the Software by anyone other than ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ or Primus KK's
authorized representatives, or Licensee's combining or merging Software with any
hardware or software not identified as compatible by ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇. ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall
have no obligation to correct Errors or support Licensed Programs except with
respect to the then current and next last current Major Releases; provided,
however, that for the purposes of determining the next last current Major
Release, ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇ shall ignore any version of any Licensed Program that does
not comply with the media or performance warranties under the License Agreement.
It shall be a condition to Primus KK's provision of support services and
Upgrades pursuant to this Agreement that Licensee shall be current on its
support and maintenance fee payments for all of the Software.
Section 3. Fees
3.1 Annual Fee. Licensee shall pay the initial annual support and maintenance
fee in cash in the amounts and on the dates set forth in Table A. Licensee shall
pay subsequent annual support and maintenance fees within thirty (30) days of
the commencement of each successive Support and Maintenance Term. Unless
Licensee's accounting policies permit Licensee to pay such fee in the absence of
a purchase order, Licensee shall issue an appropriate purchase order with
respect to such fees within twenty (20) days of the commencement of each
successive Support and Maintenance Term.

Secondline Support
Section 1. Definitions.
For the purposes of this Schedule, the following capitalized words and phrases
shall be ascribed the following meanings:
1.1 "Error" means the failure of any Software program to conform in any
-----
material respect to its published Documentation.
1.2 "Fix" shall mean a modification or an addition to a Software program or its
---
Documentation that overcomes an Error when made or added to such program or
Documentation.
1.3 "Workaround" means a set of procedures that Distributor may follow to
----------
circumvent or mitigate the impact of an Error, notwithstanding that the Error
still exists. Primus may provide a Workaround in lieu of a Fix in Primus' sole
discretion.
1.4 Other Defined Terms. Other capitalized words and phrases shall have the
-------------------
meanings ascribed to them in Section 1 of the Software Marketing and
Distribution Agreement of which this Schedule is part.
Section 2. Primus' Provision of Secondline Support.
2.1 Technical Support. Primus shall provide telephone, fax and electronic
-----------------
support to Distributor from its Seattle office regarding use of the Software and
resolution of Errors Monday through Friday from 6.30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. local
time at such office. In addition, Primus shall make on-call technical support
staff available for High Priority situations (as defined in Section 2.2.1 below)
twenty-four (24) hours a day, seven (7) days a week. Primus shall provide such
support to up to two (2) support contacts designated by Distributor who shall be
knowledgeable in all aspects of Distributor's and End Users' operating
environments.
2.2 Support Response. Primus will assign all Distributor requests for Error
----------------
support one of three response priorities. The priorities will dictate the timing
and nature of the response as follows:
2.2.1 High Priority. A major feature/function of the Software is not working
or the system integrity is at risk.
Response Goal: Primus shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide
a Fix or Workaround to Distributor within forty eight (48) hours of
Distributor's report of the problem. If Primus cannot provide the Fix or
Workaround within the forty-eight (48) hours Primus will dedicate resources to
the problem resolution and will inform Distributor on a daily basis of the
resolution status.
2.2.2 Medium Priority. An End User's work flow is inhibited or a non-major
feature/function of the Software is not working.
Response Goal: Primus shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide
a Fix or Workaround to Distributor within four (4) business days of the
Distributor's report of the problem. If Primus cannot resolve the problem within
the four (4) business days, Primus will inform Distributor on a weekly basis of
the resolution status.
2.2.3 Low Priority. An End User has a problem which is not seriously
impacting Distributor's workflow.
Response Goal: Primus shall use all commercially reasonable efforts to provide
a Fix or a Workaround to Distributor within seven (7) business days of
Distributor's report of the problem. If Primus cannot resolve the problem within
the seven (7) business days, Primus will provide Distributor with a status
evaluation regarding the ultimate resolution.
2.3 On-Site Visits. If Primus and Distributor mutually determine that Primus
--------------
may more effectively resolve a High Priority Error with an on-site visit to
Distributor's or the End User's relevant location, then Distributor shall be
responsible for Primus' reasonable travel and living expenses incurred in
conducting such visit. If Distributor requests Primus to attend on-site for any
other purpose, and Primus agrees, then Distributor shall pay Primus for Primus'
services on a time and materials basis, at Primus' then current daily rates for
the Territory, and shall reimburse Primus for Primus' reasonable travel and
living expenses.
2.4 Access to Primus' Knowledgebase. To the extent reasonably determined
-------------------------------
necessary by Primus, Primus shall provide Distributor with access to Primus'
knowledgebase of solutions to Software Errors. Distributor shall comply with
Primus' reasonable security precautions related to such access, and shall treat
all knowledgebase information as Confidential Information of Primus; provided,
however, that Distributor may disclose Error solutions to End Users as part of
its End User Maintenance obligations, but only as confidential information under
an effective non-disclosure agreement between Distributor and the End User.
2.5 Distributor Cooperation. Distributor acknowledges that Primus may not be
-----------------------
able to resolve an Error if Distributor and any affected End User do not use all
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with and assist Primus in resolving
the Error (including, without limitation, in replicating the Error, in
retrieving workstation, server and log file data relating to the Error, and in
providing Primus with remote access to Distributor's or the End User's
installation for support purposes).
2.6 Scope of Secondline Support Services. Primus shall have no obligation to
------------------------------------
correct Errors or support queries arising from any misuse or alteration of the
Software by any Person other than Primus, failure or fluctuation of electrical
power, maintenance of the Software by anyone other than Primus or Primus'
authorized representatives, or the combination or merging of the Software by any
Person other than Primus with any hardware or software not identified as
compatible by Primus. Primus shall have no obligation to correct Errors or
support Software programs except with respect to the then current and next last
current "Major Releases." "Major Releases" means a new release of a Software
program with a change in the YY component of that Software program's X.YY.ZZ
version number. It shall be a condition to Primus' provision of Secondline
Support that Distributor shall be current on its Support and Maintenance fee
payments for all of the Software.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SEAGATE'S MINIMUM TERMS OF END USER LICENSE
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
To the extent that the Seagate products are not shipped by Primus subject to a
shrink-wrap or click-wrap license agreement, each End User License must contain
the following minimum (or substantially similar), terms and conditions
applicable to Seagate Products (sometimes for purposes of this Exhibit D, the
"Software"), modified as necessary for multi-copy packages:
APPLICABLE TO ALL SEAGATE PRODUCTS:
----------------------------------
1. GRANT OF LICENSE. The End User is granted a personal, nonexclusive license to
use a single copy of the software program, including any updates, additional
modules, or additional software provided by Seagate in connection therewith (the
"Software") solely for End User's own use in conjunction with the OEM Product or
System, and solely in accordance with the terms and conditions of this license
agreement. End User may copy the Software into the memory of any computer,
solely as necessary to use the Software in accordance with this license
agreement.
2. OEM PRODUCT ACCESS. The license granted is qualified, in that the End User's
licensed copy of the Seagate Software may only be used with the third party
(OEM) product with which it was provided. Accessing data that is not created by,
or used by, the third party (OEM) product is in violation of the End User's
license.
3. THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY. End User is notified that Seagate Software
Information Management Group, Inc., ("Seagate") is a third-party beneficiary to
the End User License to the extent it relates to use of the Seagate Software.
Such provisions are made expressly for the benefit of Seagate and are
enforceable by both OEM and Seagate.
4. COPYRIGHT AND COPIES. The Software (including any copy thereof), is owned
by Seagate or its suppliers and is protected by United States copyright and
patent laws and international treaty provisions. The Software copy is licensed,
not sold to you, and you are not an owner of any copy thereof. You may either
(a) make one copy of the Software solely for backup or archival purposes, or (b)
transfer the Software to a single hard disk provided you keep the original
solely for backup or archival purposes. You may not otherwise copy the
Software, except as necessary to use the OEM Product or System or as authorized
by applicable law, and you may not copy the written materials accompanying the
Software. Seagate hereby reserves all rights not explicitly granted in this
software license agreement.
5. OTHER RESTRICTIONS. You may not rent or lease the Software, but you may
transfer the Software and accompanying written materials on a permanent basis
provided you retain no copies and the recipient agrees to the terms of this
Agreement. If the Software is an update, any transfer must include the update
and all prior versions. You may not modify or translate the Software. You
may not reverse engineer, decompile or disassemble the Software, except to the
extent expressly authorized by applicable law. End User may not remove, alter
or destroy any form of copyright notice, proprietary markings or confidential
legends placed upon or contained within the Software.
6. DUAL MEDIA. If the Software package contains more than one form of media,
such as a 3.5" diskette and a CD-ROM, then you may use only the media
appropriate for your computer or computer system. You may not use the other
media on another computer or loan, rent, lease, or transfer them to another
except as part of the permanent transfer (as provided above), of all Software
and written materials.
7. NO WARRANTY. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, THE
Software PROVIDED TO END USER HEREUNDER IS PROVIDED BY SEAGATE "AS IS" WITHOUT
ANY CONDITION OR WARRANTY WHATSOEVER. THE ENTIRE RISK ASSOCIATED WITH THE
INSTALLATION AND USE OF THE Software RESIDES WITH END USER. ALL OTHER
CONDITIONS OR WARRANTIES, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARE DISCLAIMED BY SEAGATE,
INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED CONDITIONS OR WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY, OWNERSHIP AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SEAGATE SHALL
NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL OR OTHER
DAMAGES.
8. TERM. This license is effective until terminated. End User may terminate
it at any time by destroying the Software together with all copies,
modifications and merged portions in any form. It will also terminate
automatically upon End user's failure to comply with any term or condition of
this Agreement. In the event of such termination, End User agrees to promptly
destroy the Software together with all copies, modifications and merged portions
in any form.
9. MISCELLANEOUS. The terms and conditions herein state the entire license
agreement with End user relative to any Seagate Software, and supersede any
prior agreement, whether written or oral, relating to the subject matter hereof.
The parties disclaim the application of the United Nations Convention on the
International Sale of Goods. This license agreement is governed by the laws of
the State of California, U.S.A., without reference to conflict of laws
principles. All disputes arising out of this license agreement shall be
litigated or otherwise resolved exclusively in the State of California. End
User may not export or re-export the Software or documentation without the
appropriate United States or foreign government licenses. If any provision of
this license agreement is ruled invalid, such invalidity shall not affect the
validity of the remaining portions of this license agreement.
10. U.S. GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED RIGHTS. The Software and accompanying
documentation are deemed to be "commercial computer software" and "commercial
computer software documentation," respectively, pursuant to DFAR Section
227.7202 and FAR Section 12.212, as applicable. Any use, modification,
reproduction release, performance, display or disclosure of the software and
accompanying documentation by the U.S. Government shall be governed solely by

a combination of three potential Modules: (1) Client License (2) OLAP
Add-In License and (3) Report/Query Add-In License. Each licensed version
of the Software includes one Administrator ID, which shall correspond to a
single, designated individual (the "Administrator"). The Administrator may
install and use the components as set forth in the Client License, OLAP
Add-In License and Report/Query Add-In License; solely to facilitate
licensed use of the applicable Module(s). The End User must possess an
individual license and accompanying authorized Unique User ID ("UUID")
permitting access to and use of the Module(s) licensed. End User may
install and use (in the manner provided) only the Module(s) (including
their respective components), for which End User has obtained an express
license and accompanying authorized UUID(s). End User may have only as
many UUIDs defined or in use as have been authorized by Seagate, as set
forth in End User's particular license pack. Unless End User's purchase
agreement provides expressly to the contrary, no UUID may be shared by more
than one individual End User.
(1) Client License. Provided the total number of copies used or
--------------
installed at any one time does not exceed the number of licenses
purchased or UUIDs authorized(as set forth in End User's Client
License pack) End User may use the Client License (including the
stated components) to view, schedule and analyze existing reports as
follows: (a) End User may install Info Server, Info Administrator,

Info Desktop (except that End User may not schedule cubes) on one or
more computers under End User's control, and (b) End User may install
the Info WebAccess Server on one or more web servers to provide access
by authorized End Users via web browser; except that any End User who
is not licensed to use the OLAP Add-In License may not access or use
the Info Worksheet for Java component. Web browser access may be used
in addition to access via Info Desktop client software. Provided one
copy of "client" (but not "server") components of Crystal Info 6.0 is
installed only on the permanent memory of a single desktop computer,
and that computer is used by one authorized End User at least 80% of
the time the computer is in use, that same end user may make one copy
of such client components to use on a portable or home computer
primarily used by such authorized End User.
(2) OLAP Add-In License. End User may install and use the components
-------------------
as set forth in the Client License. Subject to the same use conditions
placed on components of the Client License, End User may install and
use the Info Cube Designer to design OLAP cubes; Info Desktop to
schedule OLAP cubes; and Info Worksheet or Info Worksheet for Java (as
provided in the Info WebAccess Server and Info OLAP Server), to view
and manipulate OLAP cube information. End User may not design reports
unless End User is licensed to use the Report/Query Add-In License.
(3) Report/Query Add-In License. End User may install and use the
---------------------------
components as set forth in the Client License. Subject to the same use
