opportunity to sublicense PRODUCT to an interested End User, such information

such, shall not be used as a sales lead by either party's direct sales force to
approach said End User to license PRODUCT directly to said End User unless
agreed by the parties. Further, SUPPLIER agrees not to create any commission
plan or any other type of incentive that would have the effect of encouraging
the direct sales force of SUPPLIER to specifically compete against LUCENT.
At SUPPLIER's request, LUCENT acknowledges that SUPPLIER has established
relationships with certain end users of the PRODUCT ("Existing Customers") and
has entered into marketing discussions with certain potential end users
("Potential End Users"). Said Existing End Users and Potential End Users
(collectively, "Listed Customers") are listed in Exhibit E. As soon as practical
after the effective date of this Agreement, sales or marketing personnel of the
parties shall agree on the parties' respective roles in dealing with the Listed
Customers with respect to the PRODUCT and related services. If a joint agreement
cannot be reached by the parties as to any Existing Customer by July 1, 1997,
SUPPLIER shall have right of first preference to enter into agreements with such
Existing Customer for PRODUCT and related services. If a joint agreement cannot
be reached by the parties as to any Potential End User by July 1, 1997, the
parties shall market and sell PRODUCT and related services to such Potential End
User independently and without restriction in the absence of an agreement by the
parties to the contrary as to any Potential End User. Beginning on January 1,
1998, the parties shall market and sell PRODUCT and related services
independently and without restriction to Potential End Users. Nothing in this
paragraph shall be construed to preclude any customer, Listed Customer or End
User at any time from electing to license PRODUCT from either party and such
election shall be binding on both parties. Nothing contained in this paragraph
shall restrict LUCENT from marketing or selling any LUCENT or third party
equipment or related services to any customer or End User, including but not
limited to any Listed Customer, provided that, LUCENT shall not market or sell
the PRODUCT and related services, or a product and its related services which
directly compete with the PRODUCT and related services, to an Existing Customer
in the absence of a specific request by such Existing Customer.

Documentation for each Release or New Module as soon as such Release or New
Module is ready for use by any of SUPPLIER's customers. Whenever possible,
SUPPLIER will provide LUCENT with 120 day advance notice of Release or New
Module schedules and content. Such Release or New Module shall be considered
PRODUCT subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement. Should SUPPLIER
introduce a Release or New Module, LUCENT may, at its sole option, elect not to
distribute said Release or New Module. Such decision shall not affect the
respective obligations of the parties under this Agreement, except that if End
Users continue to have versions or Releases of PRODUCT that have been obsoleted
and no longer supported by SUPPLIER, the parties shall negotiate with the End

they shall initiate the dispute resolution process set forth in Section 34
hereof.
D. During the entire term of this Agreement and for five (5) years
thereafter, SUPPLIER shall provide to LUCENT the most current listings of all
known bugs, and Releases associated with the PRODUCT (including all versions
then being supported by SUPPLIER). The above referenced listings supplied to
LUCENT shall be no less comprehensive than those provided by SUPPLIER to its own

11. TAXES
In addition to all other fees and charges, LUCENT shall bear all taxes,
duties, including customs duties, import and export fees and any other charges
or assessments established by any governmental agency that are applicable to the
performance of this Agreement, whether now in force or enacted in the future.
All License Fees payable by LUCENT to SUPPLIER are exclusive of any tax, levy,
or similar governmental charge that may be assessed by any jurisdiction, whether
based on gross revenue, the delivery, possession or use of the PRODUCT, the
services provided hereunder, the execution or performance of this Agreement, or
otherwise, except for net income, net worth or franchise taxes assessed on
SUPPLIER by the U. S. Government or any state or municipality in the United
States. If under the laws of any jurisdiction LUCENT is required to withhold any
tax on License Fees, then the amount of the License Fees shall be automatically
increased to totally offset such tax so that the amount actually remitted to
SUPPLIER net of all taxes equals the amount of the License Fees due and payable
to SUPPLIER. LUCENT will pay all taxes, levies or similar governmental charges
or
Proprietary to
Lucent Technologies Inc./Nabnasset Corporation
-9-
14
provide SUPPLIER with an executed certificate of exemption conforming to the
requirements of the relevant taxing authority.
12. PAYMENTS
A. All payments due to SUPPLIER under this Agreement shall be made in
accordance with Section 6 hereof, Exhibit B, and this Section. The License Fee
with respect to each copy of the PRODUCT replicated will be earned by SUPPLIER
on the date which LUCENT ships a copy of the PRODUCT to an End User and will be
payable to SUPPLIER within [*] days after the end of the quarter in which the
shipment date occurred.
B. If LUCENT reproduces Demonstration Copies of the PRODUCT or copies of
Documentation pursuant to paragraph A of Section 2 hereof, no payment of any
kind shall be due to SUPPLIER for the distribution of such reproduced copies.
C. License Fees payable hereunder shall be adjusted once a year. The
effective date of such adjustment, if any, shall be May 1 of each year during
the term of this Agreement. The adjusted License Fee will be computed by
multiplying the then current License Fee by a fraction, the numerator of which
is the published suggested list price of SUPPLIER in effect on February 1 of the
then current year, and the denominator of which is the published suggested list
price of the SUPPLIER on February 1 of the year immediately preceding the then
current year, provided that, only with respect to the computation of the
adjusted License Fee as of May 1, 1998, the denominator of the fraction shall be
the published suggested list price of SUPPLIER on the date of this Agreement.
The License Fee as adjusted will be effective for one (1) year beginning on the
then current May 1. This adjustment process will occur each year during the term
of this Agreement. Further, in any year there is an increase, the increase shall
not apply to copies of the PRODUCT replicated after May 1 of such year in those
cases where LUCENT has entered into a binding bid, contract or purchase order
from the End User with respect to such copies during the period from January 1
to January 31 of such year.
D. In the event that LUCENT elects to license the PRODUCT for internal
production purposes, License Fees paid to SUPPLIER shall be in accordance with
the payments as outlined in Exhibit B. License Fees paid by LUCENT for such
internal use shall accumulate toward the total payment schedules as defined in
Exhibit B.
E. If for any reason an End User returns the PRODUCT within ninety (90) days
of its shipment from LUCENT, LUCENT shall be entitled to a credit from SUPPLIER
equal to

separately with the Commission. Confidential treatment has been
requested with respect to the omitted portions.

15
the License Fee paid to SUPPLIER during the next quarterly payment for the
PRODUCT in accordance with Exhibit B.
F. Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, and
except when LUCENT is acting as an agent selling a Maintenance Agreement to an
End User on SUPPLIER's behalf, in no event will the parties disclose to each
other pricing strategy information relating to their respective customers or
specific prices that have been or will he offered to their respective customers
for the PRODUCT.
13. MISCELLANEOUS EXPENSES
Monthly reports and notices required from either LUCENT or SUPPLIER by
this Agreement will be delivered to the recipient at the expense of the party
that generated the report.
Unless otherwise expressly agreed to by the parties herein or otherwise,
LUCENT and SUPPLIER shall each pay all travel expenses of their respective
employees.
14. ESCROW AGREEMENT
The parties agree to establish a proprietary escrow account for the
benefit of LUCENT to maintain, during the life of this Agreement and five (5)
years thereafter, all then current copies of the PRODUCT, Demonstration Copies,
and Documentation related to the PRODUCT under this Agreement pursuant to a
separate escrow agreement to be concluded by and between the parties to this
Agreement and a neutral third-party escrow agent designated by the agreement of
both parties (the "Escrow Agreement") in the form attached hereto and made a
part hereof as Attachment 1. The escrow agent will be Data Securities
International, Inc. ("DSI"), or such other escrow agent as the parties mutually
designate. The nature and completeness of any deposited materials will be
subject to verification by a representative of LUCENT in the presence of a
representative of SUPPLIER, only at the facilities of the escrow agent where the
escrowed materials are kept. No copies, in whole or in part, of the escrowed
materials may be made by the SUPPLIER representative and all such materials will
be considered to be confidential information regardless of whether or not they
have been marked as confidential information. One half of the escrow fees shall
be paid by LUCENT and one half shall be paid by SUPPLIER. With reasonable prior
permission of LUCENT, SUPPLIER may change the escrow agent at any time. Any
release of escrowed materials will be subject to the terms and conditions of
Attachment 1.

Documentation at an equitable adjustment in price as may be agreed by the
parties, in which case the PRODUCT or Documentation shall be deemed accepted;

customers who had been Sublicensed PRODUCT at the time of expiration or
termination of this Agreement. LUCENT shall not have the right to enter into new
Sublicenses after the expiration or termination of this Agreement without the
express written consent of SUPPLIER. SUPPLIER will notify LUCENT, in writing, of
any decision to discontinue production, marketing, licensing or the distribution
of PRODUCT for any reason including, without limitation, the availability of any
upgraded, improved, or changed PRODUCT within ten (10) days of said decision. In
no event shall said decision be less than ninety (90) days prior to the actual
date of discontinuance, nor shall said decision result in an inability of LUCENT
to properly service its Sublicensees as intended by this Agreement. Should any
such decision materially interfere with LUCENT's ability to reasonably serve its
customers, and SUPPLIER is unable or unwilling to provide a reasonable
alternative, LUCENT shall have the right to pursue remedial actions pursuant to
the Escrow Agreement.
17. MARKETING
LUCENT shall have complete authority to market or not market any or all of
the PRODUCT as it sees fit so long as LUCENT meets the payment obligations set
forth in this Agreement and does not otherwise violate SUPPLIER's rights in the
PRODUCT. Nothing in this Agreement shall be construed to obligate LUCENT to in
any way market, distribute, ship or otherwise utilize any PRODUCT or any portion
thereof. Specifically, this Agreement shall in no way be interpreted or
considered as placing a "best efforts" standard upon LUCENT with respect to the
marketing of any or all of the PRODUCT. Notwithstanding the foregoing during the
first two years of the term of this Agreement, if Lucent does not actively
market the PRODUCT during any twelve (12) month period, then SUPPLIER may cancel
this Agreement upon thirty (30) days written notice. If there is any dispute
between SUPPLIER and LUCENT with respect to whether the PRODUCT is being
actively marketed by LUCENT, then the parties may resort to the dispute

A. The PRODUCT and Demonstration Copies will be delivered to LUCENT free from
significant errors, conforming to and performing in accordance with the
Documentation. The Golden Master media conveying the PRODUCT and Demonstration
Copies will be free from defects in material and workmanship and conform to
PRODUCT specifications and Documentation for the warranty period described
below, provided that the PRODUCT has not been altered or modified in violation
of the terms hereof or the terms of a Sublicense. The PRODUCT will be compatible
with and may be used in conjunction with other software as described in the
Documentation. SUPPLIER at its own cost will correct any bugs or errors in the
PRODUCT necessary to make the PRODUCT conform to the Documentation and
specifications and shall replace or correct any defective PRODUCT during the
warranty period. If it is not commercially reasonable for SUPPLIER to correct or
replace the defective PRODUCT then End User shall return the PRODUCT to LUCENT.
SUPPLIER will give a credit, on the next succeeding quarterly payment due from
LUCENT, subject to the limitation below, for the License Fees on the defective
PRODUCT returned to LUCENT. The warranty period will be for a period of ninety
(90) days and will be computed as follows: The ninety (90) day warranty period
to the End User will commence on either of the following dates: (1) in the event
the PRODUCT is installed by LUCENT or the SUPPLIER, then the said warranty
period will commence on the date that such installation is completed, or (ii) in
the event the installation of the PRODUCT is to be performed by the End User,
then the said warranty period will commence on the date the PRODUCT is shipped
by LUCENT to the End User. During any calendar year, the credit to be given to
LUCENT for defective PRODUCT returned by End Users will not exceed twelve and
one half (12.5%) per cent of the License Fees received by SUPPLIER during such
calendar year.
B. Support will be performed in a first-class, workmanlike manner in
accordance with generally accepted industry standards. If any Support does not
meet the above stated warranty, then it shall be performed in a conforming
manner at no additional cost to LUCENT or End Users.

Demonstration Copies, or Documentation that will, either now or in the future,
interfere with the grants made in this Agreement.

D. SUPPLIER knows of no claims by any third party that PRODUCT, Demonstration
Copies, or Documentation infringe any patent, copyright, or trademark, nor has
SUPPLIER been notified of any such potential claim.
E. As to PRODUCT for which SUPPLIER does not solely own all intellectual
property rights, SUPPLIER has full right, power and authority to license the
PRODUCT to LUCENT and its customers as provided in this Agreement.
F. LUCENT shall make all reasonable efforts to encourage End Users to
purchase Maintenance Agreements. If the End User does not have a Maintenance
Agreement then SUPPLIER shall have no obligation to End User other than the
warranty obligations for ninety (90) days as described above provided, however,
that SUPPLIER will, after the expiration of the warranty period, provide Support
on a time and material basis, the pricing of which will be set from time to time
by SUPPLIER.
G. To the best of SUPPLIER's knowledge and belief, the PRODUCT, and
Demonstration Copies do not contain any malicious code, program, or other
internal component (e.g. computer virus, computer worm, computer time bomb, or
similar component), which could damage, destroy, or alter PRODUCT, Demonstration
Copies, firmware, or hardware or which could, in any manner, reveal, damage,
destroy, or alter any data or other information accessed through or processed by
the PRODUCT in any manner. SUPPLIER shall immediately advise LUCENT, in writing,
upon reasonable suspicion or actual knowledge that the PRODUCT provided under
this Agreement may result in the harm described above. SUPPLIER shall indemnify
and hold LUCENT and its customers harmless from any damage resulting from the
harm described above.
H. PRODUCT will record, store, process and present calendar dates falling on
or after January 1, 2000, in the same manner and with the same functionality as
it performed before January 1, 2000. The PRODUCT will process both twentieth
(20th) Century and Twenty-first (21st) dates Century simultaneously, the date
field will not be converted back to a two-digit field during processing and all
screens within the PRODUCT have been designed to accept a four (4) digit field.
This maintenance will be considered part of and covered under the maintenance
provisions of the Agreement at no additional charge to LUCENT.
I. All warranties shall survive inspection, acceptance and payment.

IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
19. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
EXCEPT FOR PERSONAL INJURY, NEITHER LUCENT NOR SUPPLIER, THEIR
SUBSIDIARIES, AFFILIATES, DIRECTORS, OFFICERS, OR EMPLOYEES SHALL BE LIABLE FOR
ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES OR FOR
LOST PROFITS, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, BASED ON CLAIMS OF THE OTHER
PARTY (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS FOR LOSS OF DATA, GOODWILL, USE OF
MONEY, OR USE OF THE PRODUCTS, INTERRUPTION IN USE OR AVAILABILITY OF DATA,
STOPPAGE OF OTHER WORK, OR IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER ASSETS) ARISING OUT OF BREACH OR
FAILURE OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION,
NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT, OR OTHERWISE.
20. TECHNICAL SUPPORT
If, at any time during the term of this Agreement or during the five (5)
years after its expiration or termination, LUCENT discovers or identifies
because of its own direct efforts and not because of information generated from
End Users or Subdistributors, a bug or other error in the PRODUCT that
interferes with its performance in accordance with the Documentation, SUPPLIER
shall correct such bug or error within the time frames set forth in the
Maintenance Agreement referenced in Exhibit D consistent with the severity
levels described in such Maintenance Agreement, provided that the Release of the
PRODUCT in question is then currently being supported by SUPPLIER. Any and all
Services performed by SUPPLIER to correct such bugs or error in PRODUCT shall be
performed at no additional cost, beyond the maintenance fees set forth in
Exhibit B. SUPPLIER shall have no obligation to correct any bug or error for
End Users unless such End User is under warranty or Maintenance Agreement or is
willing to pay for such corrective action on a time and materials basis.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in the event an End User has terminated its
Maintenance Agreement in accordance with such Maintenance Agreement and
identifies a bug or error and reports same to LUCENT, LUCENT shall communicate
same to SUPPLIER. SUPPLIER shall examine the bug or error and determine the
applicable resolution. Should SUPPLIER determine that said bug or error is the
result of the specific
Proprietary to
Lucent Technologies Inc./Nabnasset Corporation
-16-
21
use of the PRODUCT by the End User and is not related to the documented
specifications and functionality of the PRODUCT, SUPPLIER shall provide LUCENT
either separate bug fix or workaround patch to remedy the problem
or integrate the fix into the next Maintenance Release of the PRODUCT which
shall be distributed by LUCENT to its current End Users under a Maintenance
Agreement or to those willing to pay for the Maintenance Release on a time and
materials basis. Should the original reporting End User wish to receive the bug
fix or workaround patch, SUPPLIER reserves the right to charge the End User for
such correction.
In the event LUCENT believes that SUPPLIER is not making reasonable
efforts to respond to reported bugs and/or errors in the PRODUCT, LUCENT
reserves the right to suspend sale and distribution of the PRODUCT until
SUPPLIER has provided sufficient assurances that it will comply with its
obligations under this Agreement
21. TRAINING
A. SUPPLIER shall make available to LUCENT those training services defined in
Exhibit C of this Agreement.
B. LUCENT shall be granted the right and license to obtain and distribute
course or training materials from SUPPLIER at no charge.
C. LUCENT shall also have a royalty-free license to use, reproduce and
distribute fact sheets, brochures and other promotional literature for PRODUCT.
22. END USER SUBLICENSES
A. LUCENT, or its Subdistributor shall enter into a written Sublicense with
each End User to whom PRODUCT is Sublicensed. The Sublicense agreements shall
include the following provisions:
1. Acknowledgment that other than warranty or maintenance
obligations of SUPPLIER, LUCENT and/or Subdistributor shall
assume sole liability vis-a-vis the End User and/or
Subdistributor.
2. Shall be independent of this Agreement and shall survive
the termination of this Agreement.
Proprietary to
Lucent Technologies Inc./Nabnasset Corporation
-17-
22
3. All the provisions set forth the form of SUPPLIER's end
user license attached hereto as Exhibit F, unless otherwise
agreed by the parties,
4. In the event that LUCENT enters into a Sublicense that
deviates in the provisions of (i), (ii) or (iii) above, then
such deviation shall not be deemed to be a breach of this
Agreement, provided that, LUCENT indemnifies and holds the
SUPPLIER harmless with respect to any damages directly caused by
such deviation.
LUCENT will maintain a copy of each Sublicense. LUCENT will use reasonable
efforts to ensure each Sublicense agreement includes the aforementioned terms
and conditions. However, failure to do so shall not be deemed a breach of this
Agreement. In that event, LUCENT will defend, indemnify, and hold SUPPLIER
harmless for any direct, proven damages proximately caused by LUCENT's failure
to include such terms and conditions. If LUCENT learns of any breach of a
Sublicense that could harm SUPPLIER, LUCENT shall take prompt commercially
reasonable, corrective action to remedy the breach and/or obtain other
appropriate relief and shall, in addition, immediately notify SUPPLIER in
writing of breach and corrective action undertaken. The execution of these
duties by LUCENT shall not preclude SUPPLIER from also undertaking corrective
action. In addition, if a breach in a Sublicense occurs that would, in the
opinion of SUPPLIER, result in irreparable harm to SUPPLIER, unless injunctive
or other equitable relief is entered into to restrain the violation, LUCENT
SHALL (i) use reasonable efforts of LUCENT to obtain such equitable relief as
promptly as reasonably possible; or (ii) assign the rights of LUCENT or
Subdistributor under the Sublicense to SUPPLIER to allow SUPPLIER to seek such
equitable relief. The foregoing obligations of LUCENT to enforce each Sublicense
as necessary to protect the interest of SUPPLIER shall survive the expiration or
termination of this Agreement.
Neither party shall make any representations or warranties to any third
party that would in any way would be or purport to be binding on the other party
unless such representation or warranty is pursuant to the terms of this
Agreement or unless the party to be bound expressly agrees in advance to such
representation or warranty.
23. TERM, TERMINATION AND DEFAULT
The term of this Agreement shall be three (3) years from its effective
date unless earlier terminated pursuant to this Agreement. No later than twelve
(12) months prior to the initial term or any renewal period of this Agreement,
the parties shall reach an agreement on whether to extend the term of the
Agreement for an additional one (1) year
Proprietary to
Lucent Technologies Inc./Nabnasset Corporation
-18-
23
beyond the then scheduled expiration date. Failure by the parties to reach such
agreement to extend the term or agreement by the parties not to extend the
term shall mean that the Agreement shall expire on the expiration date then
scheduled. Additionally, either party may terminate this Agreement if the other
party is in default. A party to this Agreement is said to be in default if it
commits a material breach or if it ceases normal operations or becomes
insolvent.
In no event shall either party terminate by reason of any such default
unless written notice detailing such default is given to the other party. The
other party shall thereafter have thirty (30) days after such written notice to
correct such default; or, if said default cannot reasonably be corrected within
said thirty (30) days, the other party shall begin substantial corrective action
within said thirty (30) days and shall proceed promptly to correct said default.
If such corrective action is not completed within sixty (60) days after such
written notice, the party not in default may at its option terminate this
Agreement.
Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement for any reason, each
party shall return and make no further use of the property, materials and other
items (and all copies thereof) belonging to the other party and relating to this
Agreement except for any and all such property, material and other items,
including but not limited to Golden Masters, specifications, work-around lists,
and Documentation, needed by the parties to perform those functions and duties
that survive expiration or termination of this Agreement.
If this Agreement expires or is terminated for any reason other than
default by SUPPLIER, the licenses granted under this Agreement are terminated,
except that:
(i) LUCENT may continue to utilize such licenses to the extent
necessary for LUCENT to fulfill its support and maintenance
obligations, if any, to its existing customers; and
(ii) Licenses granted by LUCENT prior to termination of this
Agreement, and LUCENT payment obligations, if any, with respect
to PRODUCT ordered and received prior to expiration or
termination and with respect to continuing Support and any other
support services set forth in Exhibit D, shall survive; and
(iii) Upon termination of this Agreement for reason of default by
SUPPLIER, all the licenses granted to LUCENT under this Agreement
shall continue until the end of the term or extension, as the
case may be, that would have been in effect pursuant to paragraph
A of this Article in the absence of such termination for default.
Upon the conclusion of such term
Proprietary to
Lucent Technologies Inc./Nabnasset Corporation
-19-
24
or extension, LUCENT's rights and obligations with respect to
such licenses shall terminate, except for the surviving rights
and licenses as specified in the Agreement, including but not
limited to clauses (i) and (ii) above.
24. INDEMNIFICATION
SUPPLIER represents and warrants that it now has and will retain the
sufficient right, title and interest in the PRODUCT to make this Agreement.
SUPPLIER shall indemnify LUCENT for any loss, damage, expense or liability
resulting from, and agrees to defend at its expense any suit against LUCENT or
its customers based upon, a claim that SUPPLIER does not have sufficient right,
title, and interest in any of the PRODUCT to make this Agreement, or that any of
the PRODUCT violates a trade secret or infringes a patent, a copyright or a
Tradename. The foregoing shall not prohibit LUCENT from retaining its own
counsel at its own expense and participating in the suit. Such indemnity
includes, but is not limited to, the amount of any settlement or the damages and
costs (including attorneys' fees, if any) awarded in any such suit. LUCENT shall
promptly notify SUPPLIER in writing of any notice of claim or of threatened or
actual suit, and at SUPPLIER's request and expense, shall afford SUPPLIER
cooperation for the defense or settlement of the same; provided, however, that
SUPPLIER shall not make any statement on LUCENT's behalf that would constitute
an admission against interest by LUCENT, nor enter into any settlement adversely
affecting LUCENT rights, without the prior written consent of LUCENT, which
consent shall not be unreasonably withheld, delayed or qualified. Nor shall
LUCENT enter into a settlement without the prior written consent of SUPPLIER,
unless such consent is unreasonably withheld in which case LUCENT shall enter
into such settlement and then rely upon the dispute resolution process set forth
in Section 34 to establish the amount of the settlement to be indemnified by
SUPPLIER. Upon a settlement, or in the event of an award adverse to LUCENT in
any such action, SUPPLIER shall post bond or the security acceptable to LUCENT
in an amount sufficient to insure payment in full of such settlement or such
damages and costs, as the case may be.
In the event a suit is initiated, or is reasonably likely, or an
injunction is entered against LUCENT in such suit wherein LUCENT is enjoined
from using such PRODUCT, SUPPLIER shall use commercially reasonable efforts to
procure for LUCENT the right to continue to use the PRODUCT or replace or modify
such PRODUCT to make them non-infringing. Any such replacement or modification
shall meet substantially the specifications set out in Exhibit A. The provision
of such replacement or modification shall not relieve SUPPLIER of the
obligations set forth in the preceding paragraph. The replacement or
modification shall be considered a PRODUCT subject to all terms and

conditions including acceptance) under this Agreement.
Each party agrees to notify the other party immediately if any U.S. or
foreign patent is cited against the PRODUCT or if any legal action of the type
contemplated in this Article is commenced or threatened.
Notwithstanding any other provision contained in this Agreement, if an End
User is damaged during a time that a warranty or Maintenance Agreement is in
effect, either by a failure of a PRODUCT to perform according to the
Documentation or specifications, or a failure of the PRODUCT to meet
representations made to the End Users by SUPPLIER or by LUCENT with SUPPLIER's
written approval, or due to virus contained in Product, and said End User
obtains a judgment or reaches a settlement with LUCENT damages in accordance
with the provisions hereof, SUPPLIER shall indemnify and hold LUCENT harmless
for said judgment or settlement, subject to the following cap: (i) the License
Fee paid to SUPPLIER by LUCENT for the PRODUCT for that End User. (ii) a percent
of the judgement or settlement, said percent equal to the percent computed by
dividing the License Fee paid to SUPPLIER by LUCENT by the Sublicense fee billed
by Lucent to the End User, or (iii) $25,000, whichever is greater. In no event
shall SUPPLIER indemnify LUCENT for an amount greater than the judgment or
settlement. In the event that it appears likely that LUCENT will be entering
into a settlement with an End User for such a claim, it will so advise SUPPLIER,
who shall have the right to consult with LUCENT regarding the claim. If LUCENT
agrees to a settlement which is not consented to in writing by SUPPLIER,
SUPPLIER may resort for relief to the dispute resolution provisions of Section
34 hereof. LUCENT shall indemnify and hold SUPPLIER harmless with respect to any
claims, judgements or settlements, which do not relate to the PRODUCT or which
are based on unauthorized representations and warranties of LUCENT. Where an End
User is damaged through the actions and/or products of both LUCENT and SUPPLIER,
the damages shall be apportioned between the parties based upon mutual
agreement, or in the absence of such agreement, pursuant to Section 34. Any
refusal by one party to indemnify the other party under this paragraph shall be
resolved pursuant to Section 34.
25. COPYRIGHT NOTICE
LUCENT will not alter or delete any SUPPLIER copyright notice appearing on
the container or labels of the PRODUCT in object form.

▇▇. ASSIGNMENT
SUPPLIER shall not assign any right or interest under this Agreement
(excepting monies due or to become due) nor delegate any work or other
obligation to be performed by or owed under this Agreement without the prior
written consent of LUCENT, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld,
delayed, or qualified. Any attempted assignment or delegation in contravention
of the above provisions shall be void and ineffective. Any assignment of monies
shall be void and ineffective to the extent that (1) SUPPLIER shall not have
given LUCENT at least thirty (30) days prior written notice of such assignment
and (2) such assignment attempts to impose upon LUCENT obligations to the
assignee additional to the payment of such monies, or to preclude LUCENT from
dealing solely and directly with SUPPLIER in all matters pertaining to this
Agreement including the negotiation of amendments or settlements of charges due.

27. USE OF TRADENAME
LUCENT may use SUPPLIER's trademarks, tradenames, and tradedress
(hereafter "Tradename") in marketing the PRODUCT under the following conditions:
In order to enable SUPPLIER to maintain control of the use of its
Tradename, LUCENT agrees to submit samples of the usage of said Tradename to
SUPPLIER for its review and approval which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld. PRODUCT and materials Generated and released by LUCENT will be
consistent with the samples reviewed by SUPPLIER,
A. The rights of LUCENT to use or any Tradename of SUPPLIER will cease at the
termination of this Agreement.
B. Use of SUPPLIER Tradenames by LUCENT will bear no royalty.
C. All rights and goodwill in any SUPPLIER Tradename will remain with
SUPPLIER (except the rights specifically licensed in this Agreement) and any use
by LUCENT of any such Tradename will inure to the benefit of SUPPLIER.
D. SUPPLIER shall supply to LUCENT a list of the countries where SUPPLIER's
rights to use a Tradename have been established by registration or other
appropriate official procedures and will update such list as appropriate during
the term of this Agreement; and if no registration has been made in any country,
SUPPLIER shall so state. LUCENT shall have the option (i) to request SUPPLIER to
seek such registration, which request shall not be unreasonably denied or
delayed; or, (ii) at LUCENT's own expense, to seek such registration in any
country on behalf of SUPPLIER. If SUPPLIER seeks such registration upon LUCENT's
request, and if SUPPLIER so requests, LUCENT shall reimburse SUPPLIER for the
reasonable, direct costs of such registration, and such amounts shall then be
deducted from the License Fees subsequently paid by LUCENT for

E. LUCENT shall have the right to display its tradename and/or accompanying
language stating its involvement with SUPPLIER's PRODUCT on PRODUCTS,
DOCUMENTATION, and other materials distributed and licensed under this
Agreement. LUCENT agrees to submit samples of the usage of said Tradename and
language to SUPPLIER for its review and approval, which approval will not be
unreasonably withheld. PRODUCT, DOCUMENTATION, and other materials generated and
released by LUCENT will be consistent with the samples reviewed by SUPPLIER. If
use of LUCENT's Tradename or language on any PRODUCT or DOCUMENTATION requires
SUPPLIER to incur costs to modify such PRODUCT or DOCUMENTATION, LUCENT shall
reimburse SUPPLIER for such reasonable direct costs as long as LUCENT is advised
in advance of those costs.
F. If, at any time during the term of this Agreement and for five (5) years
after its expiration or termination, SUPPLIER decides to the change the name
under which the PRODUCT is marketed , it shall provide one hundred twenty (120)
days notice of such change to LUCENT. Further, SUPPLIER shall provide to LUCENT
evidence that the new name has been successfully registered in the United States
and every country in which the PRODUCT was substantially licensed prior to the
name change. SUPPLIER shall indemnify and hold LUCENT harmless for any damages
LUCENT incurs as a result of SUPPLIER's failure to obtain sufficient right,
title, and interest in the new name or to ensure that the new name does not
infringe any copyright or Tradename. Further, SUPPLIER's obligations to
indemnify LUCENT under the indemnification provision of Section 24 shall apply
to new names for PRODUCTS to the same degree as they applied to all other
SUPPLIER Tradenames.
28. CONFIDENTIALITY
During the Term of this Agreement, each party shall have access to
"Confidential Information" of the other. For purposes hereof, "Confidential

on disclosure set forth herein, LUCENT and SUPPLIER at all times shall use
reasonable efforts to protect the unauthorized disclosure or use of Confidential

("Preferred Registrant"), who collectively may be referred to in this Agreement
as "the parties".
A. Depositor and Preferred Registrant have entered or will enter into a
license agreement, development agreement, and/or other agreement regarding
certain proprietary technology of Depositor. To distinguish from this
Agreement, the other agreement(s) will be referred to as "the license
agreement."
B. Depositor desires to avoid disclosure of its proprietary technology except
under certain limited circumstances.
C. The availability of the proprietary technology of Depositor is critical to
Preferred Registrant in the conduct of its business and, therefore, Preferred
Registrant needs access to the proprietary technology under limited
circumstances.
D. Depositor and Preferred Registrant desire to establish an escrow with DSI
to provide for the retention, administration and controlled access of the
proprietary technology materials of Depositor.
E. The parties desire this Agreement to be supplementary to the license
agreement pursuant to ▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇ [Bankruptcy] Code, Section 365(n).
ARTICLE 1 -- DEPOSITS
1.1 Obligation to Make Deposit. Upon the signing of this Agreement by the
parties, Depositor shall deliver to DSI the proprietary information and other
materials ("deposit materials") required to be deposited by the license
agreement or, if the license agreement does not identify the materials to be
deposited with DSI, then such materials will be identified on an Exhibit A. If
Exhibit A is applicable, it is to be prepared and signed by Depositor and
Preferred Registrant. DSI shall have no obligation with respect to the
preparation, signing or delivery of Exhibit A.
1.2 Identification of Tangible Media. Prior to the delivery of the deposit
materials to DSI, Depositor shall conspicuously label for identification each
document, magnetic tape, disk, or other tangible media upon which the deposit
materials are written or stored. Additionally, Depositor shall complete an
Exhibit B to list each such tangible media by the item label description, the
type of media and the quantity. The Exhibit B must be signed by Depositor and
delivered to DSI with the deposit materials. Unless and until Depositor makes
the initial deposit with DSI, DSI shall have no obligation with respect to this
Agreement, except the
Page 1
61
obligation to notify the parties regarding the status of the deposit account as
required in Section 2.2 below.
1.3 Deposit Inspection. When DSI receives the deposit materials and the
Exhibit B. DSI will conduct a deposit inspection by visually matching the
labeling of the tangible media containing the deposit materials to the item
descriptions and quantity listed on the Exhibit B. In addition to the deposit
inspection, Preferred Registrant may elect to cause a verification of the
deposit materials in accordance with Section 1.6 below.
1.4 Acceptance of Deposit. At completion of the deposit inspection, if DSI
determines that the labeling of the tangible media matches the item
descriptions and quantity on Exhibit B, DSI will sign the Exhibit B and mail a
copy thereof to Depositor and Preferred Registrant. If DSI determines the
labeling does not match the item descriptions or quantity on the Exhibit B, DSI
will (a) note the discrepancies in writing on the Exhibit B; (b) sign the
Exhibit B with the exceptions noted; and (c) provide a copy of the Exhibit B to
Depositor and Preferred Registrant. DSI's acceptance of the deposit occurs upon
the signing of the Exhibit B by DSI. Delivery of the signed Exhibit B to

materials identified either in the license agreement or Exhibit A, as
the case may be.
1.6 Verification. Preferred Registrant shall have the right, at Preferred
Registrant's expense, to cause a verification of any deposit materials. A
verification determines, in different levels of detail, the accuracy,
completeness, sufficiency and quality of the deposit materials. If a
verification is elected after the deposit materials have been delivered to DSI,
then only DSI, or at DSI's election an independent person or company selected
and supervised by DSI, may perform the verification.

Depositor shall update the deposit materials within 60 days of each release of

SERVICE LEVEL AGREEMENT
DEFINITION
Quintus prioritizes support in relation to the severity of the problem.
Quintus' standard descriptions used to determine the level of support to be
provided are:
- A CRITICAL Priority (Severity Level 4) Problem is defined as a problem that
causes significant impact to a production system for the majority of agents.
Typical examples would include a production system down condition; when
Quintus Software located on a production system is unusable; is causing data
loss or corruption; or fails catastrophically in response to internal errors,
invalid input or user error. For NABNASSET-CTI Programs, this will only apply
to the server software supplied by Quintus and its connectivity to PC-based
programs. The severity level does not apply to Lucent- or Customer- provided
or installed program(s) affecting individual Quintus PC software
installations.
- A HIGH Priority (Severity Level 2) Problem is defined as a moderate production
system impact, when important features of the Software do not function in
accordance with the documentation or restricted use of one or more functions.
A problem affecting a Test or Development System, severely affecting the "Go
Live" date is also considered "high." This includes PC-based CTI programs.
- A MEDIUM Priority (Severity Level 1) Problem is defined as a minor system
impact that restricts the use of features and functionality of the Software. A
problem that
101
moderately impacts a Test or Development System or is isolated to a few
agents is also given Medium Priority.
- A LOW Priority Problem is defined as a "How To" question or Enhancement
request.
RESOLUTION
During the term of this Agreement, Quintus shall use reasonable efforts to
correct or provide workarounds for all reproducible programming Problems in the
Products attributable to Quintus with a level of effort commensurate with the
severity of the Problem or Error.
- For CRITICAL Priority (Severity Level 4) Problem, Quintus will use
reasonable efforts to respond to Lucent within one (1) hour to determine
the problem. Quintus will work diligently to assist Lucent with the
Critical Priority Problem and will make all reasonable efforts to
reproduce and resolve all issues within twenty-four hours (24) of receipt
of all pertinent information regarding the problem from Lucent. If a
solution or workaround can not be found, or if progress towards problem
resolution is stalled after the twenty-four hour period, the problem is
escalated to Engineering for resolution. The problem is deemed resolved
if a solution or a workaround is provided to Lucent. If the problem is due
to a Quintus product defect, a patch may be provided to Lucent. Quintus
will provide Lucent with four (4) hour updates until problem is resolved.
- For HIGH Priority (Severity Level 2) Problem, Quintus will use reasonable
efforts to respond to Lucent within four (4) hours to determine the
problem and to make a first attempt at problem reproduction and
resolution. If the first attempt is unsuccessful, Quintus Technical
Support Engineers will provide continuous effort to resolve Lucent issues
for two (2) business days after which time the problem is escalated to
Engineering for assistance. The problem is deemed resolved if a solution
or a workaround is provided to Lucent. Quintus will provide Lucent with
updates twice a week until problem is resolved.
- For MEDIUM Priority (Severity Level 1) Problem, Quintus will use
reasonable efforts to respond within eight (8) hours to give an
assessment of the problem and a time period in which the problem may be
addressed. A Medium Priority problem is deemed resolved once a solution
is provided, a workaround is provided or a defect identified to be
addressed in the next product update.
- For LOW Priority Problems Quintus will use reasonable efforts to respond.
Preliminary status will be provided within forty-eight (48) hours.
Resolution time begins when Quintus is notified of the problem and is measured
in Quintus business hours. 24x7 support for Critical Priority problems is
available at additional charge.
102
Quintus will provide customer on-site support for Critical (Severity Level 4)
trouble resolution, if deemed necessary by all parties. If Quintus provides
on-site support at the customer's request, Quintus will ▇▇▇▇ Lucent at then
current time and expense (T&E) rates.
ESCALATION
If during the course of problem resolution Lucent determines that Quintus is
not meeting established goals, Lucent can escalate the problem to the Manager
of Technical Support, then Director of Technical Support, then Vice President
of WorldWide Customer Support Services.
TERMS OF SUPPORT
Maintenance is limited to versions of the Software that are supported by
Quintus and to problems that are reproducible in that version of the Software,
running unaltered on the Designated Computers.
Quintus shall provide technical support for the current version of the
Software. Additionally, Quintus will support the previous sequential release of
the Software for a period of twelve (12) months following the release of a
subsequent version.
Corrections to certain problems may only be available through a future version
of the Software or through a documentation update.
Maintenance services will not be provided if the:
- Software is not used in accordance with the software license agreement
under which the Software was supplied to Lucent;
- Software has been altered or modified by Lucent, its Customer or a third
party;
- Lucent makes significant changes to the hardware and/or software in their
operating environments that are not supported by the Software.
SOFTWARE UPDATE SERVICE
There will be no additional charge for providing new/current releases to
customers with a current Maintenance Contract. Customers under Maintenance
shall receive all generally released enhancements to the Software and all
documentation updates as well as new versions of the Software ("Updates") as
they are made commercially available. This does not include significant changes
in functionality and new releases of the Quintus Software. It will be Lucent's
responsibility to provide their customers with the software updates.
If Lucent requests Quintus support with the installation of new/current
releases, then Quintus will provide support and charge Lucent at the time and
