NORTH AMERICAN DISTRIBUTOR AGREEMENT
TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. APPOINTMENT AND AUTHORITY OF DISTRIBUTOR
Seagate Software hereby appoints Distributor as a distributor of the
Products within the territory identified in Exhibit B ("Territory"), and
Distributor accepts such appointment, subject to the terms and conditions of
this Agreement. Seagate Software may modify, improve, change or discontinue any
or all of the Products from time to time, by delivering to Distributor an
updated price list which will supersede Exhibit A. Distributor's rights are not
exclusive. Seagate Software reserves the right to license directly to any
customer and may appoint other distributors in the Territory, in its discretion.
2. SOFTWARE RIGHTS
Distributor acknowledges that the Products sold by Seagate Software
hereunder constitute only discrete copies of software, the media in which it is
stored, and related documentation, as shipped to Distributor. Nothing herein
transfers any right, title or interest in the software or any intellectual
property rights therein to Distributor. All such software and proprietary rights
are subject to the terms and conditions of the Software License Agreement
included with each Product, as more fully described in Section 3.3.
3. GENERAL OBLIGATIONS OF DISTRIBUTOR
3.1 Promotion. Distributor shall actively advertise and promote
the Products in the Territory in a commercially reasonable manner. Distributor
shall list the Products in its catalogs. Distributor shall also transmit Product
information and promotional materials to its customers with Seagate Software
paying any applicable and agreed to program costs.
3.2 Advertising. Distributor shall provide samples of its
advertising copy and sales literature, to Seagate Software on its request.
Seagate Software reserves the right to review and approve all uses of Seagate
Software's trademarks, service marks, or trade names in Distributors advertising
and promotion of the Products, prior to use. Such approval will not limit
Distributor's obligation to comply with the terms of this Agreement and all
applicable laws and will not be deemed an endorsement or approval of any
advertising content.
3.3 Software Licenses. Distributor shall distribute the Products
only in the sealed packages in which Seagate Software delivers them to
Distributor ("Product Packages"). Distributor acknowledges that (a) Seagate
Software will package an end user license agreement between Seagate Software and
end users (the "Software License") in each Product Package, and (b) Seagate
Software will include in each Product Package, or reproduce on each Product
package, an appropriate customer registration card (the "Registration Card").
Seagate Software may modify the Software License and Registration Card at any
time, in whole or in part. Distributor shall have no obligation to ensure that
the Products in its inventory are packaged with the then current version of such
Software License and/or Registration Card. Distributor will publish, in its
price
2
book, that all Seagate Software Products purchased from Distributor are
subject to the terms of the licenses and warranties packaged with the Products,
and will distribute the Products in the form received from Seagate Software with
all Licenses and Cards intact.
3.4 Sales and Inventory Reports.
(a) For Seagate Software NSMG. Distributor shall provide
Seagate Software NSMG, with weekly reports, by reseller, showing sales,
shipment, and inventory activity, and monthly detailed (customer name, address,
etc.) POS reports, relating to Distributor's activities under this Agreement as
Seagate Software NSMG may request. Distributor shall provide non-standard point
of sale ("POS") information including reseller name and address subject to the
terms and conditions of a separate Proprietary Information Non-Disclosure
Agreement, substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. Distributor
reports shall be made available to Seagate Software NSMG within seven days
following the week for which activity is reported. Seagate Software NSMG will
maintain such reports in confidence. In addition to constituting a breach
hereunder, failure to make available such reports on three consecutive occasions
or a total of five occasions will void Distributor's right to price protection
and sales incentive programs hereunder.
(b) For Seagate Software IMG. Distributor shall provide
Seagate Software IMG with monthly detailed (customer name, address, etc.) POS
reports relating to Distributor's activities under this Agreement as Seagate
Software IMG may request. Distributor shall provide non-standard point of sale

conditions of a separate Proprietary Information Non-Disclosure Agreement,
substantially in the form attached hereto as Exhibit F. Distributor reports
shall be made available to Seagate Software IMG within seven days following the
end of the month for which activity is reported. Seagate Software IMG will
maintain such reports in confidence. In addition to constituting a breach
hereunder, failure to make available such reports on three consecutive occasions
or a total of five occasions will void Distributor's right to price protection
and sales incentive programs hereunder. In exchange for the monthly detailed POS
reports provided by Distributor, Seagate Software IMG agrees to offer
Distributor a quarterly sales incentive rebate program, with quarterly rebate
goals to be mutually agreed upon by both parties.
3.5 Training and Support. Distributor shall provide such training
on the installation and use of the Products to its customers as is necessary to
enable them to distribute, market, install, and use the Products, as applicable.

ensure a high level of customer satisfaction.
3.6 Government Requirements. Distributor shall obtain and maintain
all permits, licenses and government registrations necessary or appropriate to
perform hereunder and shall make all filings with governmental authorities
required of this Agreement by applicable law. This Agreement is in all respects
subject to compliance with all such requirements. On Seagate Software's request
Distributor shall provide Seagate Software written assurances of such
compliance.

solicit orders from any customer that Distributor is aware engages in illegal or

the point of sale reports furnished monthly by Distributor and to notify
Distributor of any company on said report that Seagate Software is aware engages
in illegal or deceptive trade practices.
3.8 Distributor's Own Account. Distributor shall conduct its
business for its own account, in its own name, and not as an agent, employee, or
partner of Seagate Software. Except as herein expressly provided, it shall
determine in its own judgment how best to perform its obligations hereunder, and
Seagate Software has no right to control such matters.
3.9 Demonstration Copies. Distributor may use Products provided
hereunder for internal use as demonstration copies, in such number and on such
terms as Seagate Software may allow from time to time. In such event,
Distributor shall comply with and be bound by all of the terms and conditions of
the Software License included with the Product so used. Distributor shall not
resell, lease, rent, or license any Product used as a demonstration copy.

Distributor and its customers that the physical diskette (s), CD ROM or other
physical form in which the software is provided and the documentation will be

remedy and Seagate Software's sole obligation arising out of this Warranty shall

other physical form, and/or documentation, as applicable, provided Distributor
returns the defective items to Seagate Software within the above-referenced
ninety (90) day warranty period and in accordance with the return procedures
specified in Section 5.4. The above warranty specifically excludes defects

misapplication occurred after the software left Distributor's possession.
Seagate Software makes no other representation, warranty, or guaranty, express
or implied, regarding the Products. Seagate Software may in its sole discretion
modify this Warranty at any time and from time to time.

PRODUCTS AND ANY SERVICES COVERED BY OR FURNISHED PURSUANT TO THIS AGREEMENT,
INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED CONDITION OR WARRANTY (A) OF
MERCHANTABILITY, (B) OF FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR (C) ARISING FROM
COURSE OF PERFORMANCE, COURSE OF DEALING, OR USAGE OF TRADE.
7.5 Year 2000. Seagate Software warrants that the Products
identified as Year 2000 Ready on the Seagate Software NSMG Year 2000 Readiness
Statement attached hereto as Exhibit "G" and the Seagate Software IMG Year 2000
Readiness Statement attached hereto as Exhibit "H" are Year 2000 Ready, as set
forth in this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, "Year 2000 Readiness"
shall mean that Product functionality is not adversely affected by processing of
dates prior to, during and after the Year 2000, but only if all other products
(e.g. hardware, firmware and other software, whether or not provided by or
obtained from Seagate Software) used with the particular Product properly
exchange accurate date data with it; and only if the particular Product is
correctly configured and used within its intended operating environment. The
Products hereunder have been tested by Seagate Software for Year 2000 Readiness
on a stand-alone basis and only within their intended operating environment.
Distributor's exclusive remedy and Seagate Software's entire liability with
respect to this Year 2000 warranty will be that Seagate Software shall use
commercially reasonable efforts to correct the Products. Seagate Software will
assume Distributor's liabilities to end users of the Products which result from
breach of this warranty, up to the maximum liability contained in this Section

8. SEAGATE SOFTWARE'S INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
8.1 Limited Rights. Distributor shall not acquire any right to any
trademarks, service marks, or tradenames used by Seagate Software or any
Affiliates (collectively "Trademarks"), or the copyrights, patent rights, trade
secrets, commercial symbols, goodwill, or other form of intellectual or
commercial property of Seagate Software or any Affiliates and shall not use such
property or rights in any manner, except as herein permitted. Distributor shall
use the Trademarks in referring to the applicable Products they identify and
shall identify itself as an authorized distributor of Seagate Software, in a
form prescribed or approved from time to time by Seagate Software or as
otherwise agreed by Seagate Software in writing. Seagate Software may from time
to time discontinue or modify the Trademarks, add new Trademarks, and revise
these instructions, to protect the standards of quality established for the
goods and services sold under the Trademarks.
8.2 Modifications and Reverse Engineering. Distributor shall not
copy, modify, reverse engineer, decompile, enhance, or make derivative works of
the Products. Any such unauthorized modifications, derivative works, and
enhancements shall belong to Seagate Software
8
and Distributor hereby assigns all rights in them (including moral rights) to
Seagate Software. Distributor acknowledges that it has and shall have no right
whatsoever, whether by the express terms of this Agreement or by any course of
conduct, to use, review, or access the source code for the Products.
8.3 Notices. Distributor shall not remove, change, or obliterate
any copyright, confidential, or proprietary notices incorporated in, marked on,
or fixed to the Products by Seagate Software.
8.4 Protection of Trademarks. As between the parties hereto,
Seagate Software shall have sole and exclusive right to protect and defend the
Trademarks, at its sole cost and expense. Neither Seagate Software nor any
Affiliate shall be liable to Distributor for any loss or damage suffered by
Distributor as a result of the use of the Trademarks, any litigation or
proceeding involving the Trademarks, or any failure to protect or defend the
Trademarks. Distributor shall cooperate fully with Seagate Software or an
Affiliate, as applicable, in the defense and protection of the Trademarks, and
shall promptly and fully advise Seagate Software of the use in the Territory of
any ▇▇▇▇ infringing any of the Trademarks. Without limiting the generality of
the foregoing, Distributor shall not seek or obtain registration, or any other
right, in any Trademark in any jurisdiction, whether in its own name or
otherwise. If it does, it shall forthwith assign all rights therein to Seagate
Software or at the direction of Seagate Software, as Seagate Software may in its
discretion require.
8.5 Country Restrictions. If at any time Seagate Software
determines that the laws or policies of any country are or become materially
insufficient to protect its intellectual or proprietary rights in the Products,
Seagate Software may restrict or terminate Distributor's rights to use or
distribute Products in or to that country, on written notice to Distributor.
Distributor shall take all actions reasonably necessary to comply with and
enforce any such restriction or termination.
8.6 Confidential Information.
(a) As used herein, "Confidential Information" shall mean
all information concerning Seagate Software or any Affiliate or parent company
of Seagate Software to which Distributor is provided access by virtue of this
Agreement or its activities hereunder, including without limitation technical
data, Product design and development, sales information, quantity and kind of
Products sold, prices and methods of pricing, marketing techniques and plans,
Product returns, unannounced products, product and process information, and any
other information which, if disclosed to others, might be competitively
detrimental to Seagate Software. Confidential Information shall not include any
information which has been publicly disseminated in writing by Seagate Software,
which Distributor can show it knew prior to Seagate Software's disclosure, or
which was rightfully received by Distributor from a third party without
restriction.
(b) During the term hereof and at all times thereafter,
Distributor shall maintain the Confidential Information in strictest confidence,
shall not disclose it to any third party, and shall use it only as necessary to
perform hereunder. Distributor shall cause each of its officers,
9
directors, employees, and agents to restrict disclosure and use of such
Confidential Information in like fashion, and shall be responsible for any
wrongful disclosure and use by any of them.
(c) In the event any court or other authority orders
Distributor to disclose any Confidential Information, Distributor shall use its
best efforts to protect its confidentiality and shall forthwith notify Seagate
Software thereof to enable it to seek to do so. At the termination of this
Agreement, Distributor shall promptly return all tangible Confidential
Information to Seagate Software.
9. INDEMNITIES/INSURANCE
9.1 Infringement Claims. If an action is brought against
Distributor claiming that a Product infringes any United States patent,
copyright, trade secret, or other proprietary rights of a third party within the
Territory, Seagate Software shall defend Distributor at Seagate Software's
expense and shall pay the damages and costs finally awarded against Distributor
in the action specifically on account of such infringement, but only if (a)
Distributor notifies Seagate Software promptly upon learning that the claim
might be asserted, (b) Seagate Software has sole control over the defense of the
claim and any negotiation for its settlement or compromise, and (c) Distributor
takes no action that in Seagate Software's judgment, impairs Seagate Software's
defense of the claim.
9.2 Seagate Software's Options. If Distributor's use of any
Product is enjoined Seagate Software shall within a commercially reasonable
period of time, and at its expense, either (a) substitute equivalent
non-infringing Products for the infringing item, (b) modify the infringing item
so that it no longer infringes but remains functionally equivalent, or (c)
obtain for Distributor the right to continue selling such item. Upon threat of
claim of infringement, or if Seagate Software wishes to minimize its liability
hereunder, Seagate Software may at its option and expense, either (a) substitute
equivalent non-infringing Products for the infringing item, (b) modify the
infringing item so that it no longer infringes but remains functionally
equivalent, or (c) obtain for Distributor the right to continue selling such
item. If none of the foregoing is feasible, Seagate Software will accept a
return of the Products which are subject to the injunction and refund to
Distributor the purchase price, less reasonable depreciation, plus shipping
costs paid by Distributor. The indemnity in Section 9.1 will not apply if and to
the extent that the infringement claim results from (x) a correction or
modification of the Product not provided by Seagate Software, (y) a failure to
promptly install an update, or (z) the combination of the Product with other
software not provided by Seagate Software.
9.3 LIMIT. THE FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY AND
OBLIGATION OF SEAGATE SOFTWARE OR WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT OR CLAIMS OF
INFRINGEMENT OF ANY PATENT, COPYRIGHT, TRADE SECRET OR OTHER INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY RIGHT BY THE PRODUCTS.
9.4 Insurance.
(a) The parties shall be responsible for providing Worker's
Compensation insurance in the statutory amounts required by the applicable state
laws.
10
(b) Without in any way limiting Seagate Software's indemnification
obligation as set forth in this Agreement, Seagate Software shall maintain
Commercial General Liability and/or Comprehensive General Liability Insurance in
an amount not less than $5,000,000 (Five Million Dollars) Combined Single Limit
for Bodily Injury and Property Damage per occurrence.
(c) Seagate Software will, within ten (10) days of the full execution
of this Agreement, provide evidence of the existence of insurance coverages
referred to in this Section 9.4 by certificates of insurance which should also
provide for at least thirty (30) days notice of cancellation, nonrenewal or
material change of coverage to Distributor.
10. ASSIGNMENT
10.1 Written Consent. Neither Seagate Software nor Distributor may
assign or transfer any of the rights or responsibilities set forth herein
without the express written consent of the other party and any purported attempt
to do so shall be deemed void, provided that either party shall be entitled to
assign this Agreement to a successor to all or substantially all of its relevant
assets, whether by sale, merger, or otherwise.

either party for any or no cause, by providing at least 60 days prior written

Software may terminate this Agreement prior to its expiration in the event
Distributor fails to cure any breach of a payment obligation hereunder within
twenty (20) business days after written notice from Seagate Software describing

specific amount to Seagate Software because of a legitimate dispute between the
parties as to that specific amount, pending the timely resolution of the
disputed amount.

11
attempts to do so, (g) the other party assigns or purports to assign this
Agreement in breach of its provisions, or (h) the other party commits a breach
of a material obligation hereunder which is by its nature incurable.

relieve either party from fulfilling its obligations which by their terms or
nature survive termination, except as otherwise expressly provided. Upon

cease using and shall deliver to Seagate Software any unused sales literature
and other written information and materials supplied by Seagate Software

effecting the reacquisition of Products and documentation, Seagate Software
shall be entitled to set off, against amounts payable to Distributor, all
amounts owed by Distributor to Seagate Software. The repurchase period shall be
within ninety (90) days of the effective date of termination. If requested by

OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS TO
LIMIT THE POTENTIAL LIABILITY OF EACH PARTY AND ITS AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF
THIS AGREEMENT.
13. GENERAL PROVISIONS
13.1 Independent Contractors. The relationship of Seagate Software
and Distributor established by this Agreement is that of independent
contractors. This Agreement does not give either party the power to direct and
control the day to day activities of the other, constitute the parties as
partners, joint venturers, co-owners, principal-agent, or otherwise participants
in a joint or common undertaking, or allow either party to create or assume any
obligation on behalf of the other party for any purpose whatsoever.
13.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement constitutes the entire
agreement of the parties, supersedes any prior and contemporaneous oral or
written understanding as to the subject matter hereof, and excludes all implied
representations, conditions, warranties, and other terms. Each party
acknowledges that it is entering into this Agreement as a result of its own
independent investigation and not as a result of any representation of the other
party not contained herein.
13.3 Amendments; Waivers. This Agreement may be modified only by a
writing signed by the party to be charged. Without limitation, this provision
shall apply equally to this Section 13.3 and to Section 11.1. A waiver of any
provision or breach is no waiver of any other provision or breach.
13.4 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be responsible for any
failure to perform due to causes beyond its reasonable control.
13.5 Taxes. Except as otherwise specifically set forth in this
Agreement, Distributor shall pay or reimburse Seagate Software for all national
federal, state, local or other taxes and assessments of any jurisdiction (except
taxes imposed on Seagate Software's income), including sales or use taxes,
property taxes, withholding taxes as required by international tax treaties or
otherwise, customs or other import or export taxes, value added taxes, and
amounts levied in lieu thereof based on charges set, services performed or to be
performed or payments made or to be made under this Agreement. Distributor shall
not deduct the amount of such taxes, duties or assessments from payments made to
Seagate Software under this Agreement unless specifically required by applicable
law. In such event, Distributor shall promptly notify Seagate Software, and the
amount due shall automatically be increased to totally offset such tax, so that
the amount remitted to Seagate Software, net of all taxes, equals the invoiced
amount. Distributor shall also
13
provide Seagate Software with a copy of the official receipt evidencing payment
of the tax to the applicable local taxing authorities.
13.6 Audits. Upon at least twenty (20) business days' notice to
Distributor and during Distributor's business hours, Seagate Software shall have
the right to audit, at Seagate Software's expense, the Products in Distributor's
possession or inventory and Distributor's books and records relating to its
performance under this Agreement, in order to determine its compliance
hereunder. In the event any such audit reveals that Distributor has knowingly
breached a material obligation hereunder, then, in addition to such other
remedies as Seagate Software may have, Distributor shall pay or reimburse to
Seagate Software a negotiated amount for the cost of the audit.
13.7 Import and Export Controls. Distributor hereby acknowledges
that the Products are subject to United States export controls, pursuant to the
U.S. Export Administration Regulations. Distributor shall comply with all
applicable provisions of the Export Administration Regulations, and shall not
export, reexport, transfer, divert or disclose, directly or indirectly,
including via remote access, the Products, any confidential information
contained or embodied in the Products, or any direct product thereof, except as
authorized under the Export Administration Regulations.
13.8 Publicity. The terms of this Agreement are confidential. No
press release or other like publicity regarding this Agreement may be made
without the other party's approval.
13.9 Notices. All notices and other communications hereunder shall
be given in writing and delivered (a) by personal delivery, by prepaid overnight
or international courier service to the addresses set forth on the signature
page of this Agreement, or (b) by facsimile to such facsimile number as may be
provided in writing by a party. Notices are deemed given on receipt or attempted
delivery (if receipt is refused).
13.10 Governing Law. Distributor acknowledges that Seagate Software
is based in the State of California, U.S.A. and requires uniformity and
consistency in the laws under which it deals with all of its domestic and
international distributors. Accordingly, this Agreement shall be governed and
construed, and all arbitration's hereunder shall be determined, in accordance
with the laws of the State of California, without regard to its conflicts of
laws rules.
13.11 Dispute Resolution. Seagate Software and Distributor agree
that, before initiating any litigation concerning this Agreement or their
respective obligations hereunder, they will attempt in good faith to resolve
their dispute through nonbinding mediation. Each party covenants (a) not to
unfairly use litigation or the threat of litigation as a means to harass or
intimidate the other party, and (b) not to assert frivolous claims or defenses
in any dispute between them.
13.12 Attorney's Fees. In the event of any litigation hereunder, the
court shall award costs and reasonable attorneys' fees to the prevailing party.
13.13 English Language. English is the authoritative text of this
Agreement, and all communications, arbitration's, and other adjudication
hereunder shall be made and conducted in English.
14
13.14 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held, in a
final and nonappealable decision by an arbitrator or court of competent
jurisdiction, not to comply with any applicable law, now existing or hereafter
enacted, such provision shall to the extent possible be interpreted so as to
comply with such law or condition or, if such interpretation is not possible, it
shall be deemed amended to satisfy the requirements thereof. Any provision
hereof deemed invalid or unenforceable, in a final and nonappealable decision by
an arbitrator or court of competent jurisdiction, shall be severed from this
Agreement, the balance of which shall remain enforceable.
13.15 Acceptance by Seagate Software. This Agreement shall not be
deemed accepted by or binding upon Seagate Software unless and until a copy
fully executed by Distributor and an authorized representative of Seagate
Software is delivered to Distributor. This Agreement shall be deemed accepted
where executed by Seagate Software.

distributor of the Products, and for so long as Distributor is in full
compliance with its obligations hereunder, Distributor shall pay Seagate
Software for Products purchased hereunder according to the standard price list
of the relevant subsidiary, less the applicable discount set forth in this
Agreement. Such prices and discount are subject to modification in accordance
with Section 6.2. The foregoing discount shall apply only to Products, and not
to any other goods or services Seagate Software may offer, including without
limitation upgrades, updates, and maintenance services, all of which Seagate
Software may in its discretion separately offer and price. In addition, the
foregoing discount may not apply to Products offered by Seagate Software on a
temporary basis at prices below its standard distributor prices, for special
promotions or otherwise.
2. Payment Terms. Seagate Software shall issue to Distributor
individual invoices for each shipment of Products made hereunder. Distributor
shall, without setoff, pay Seagate Software in full in U.S. dollars for each
delivery, (a) net 30 days from date of invoice for Seagate Software NSMG
Products; and (b) net 45 days from date of invoice for Seagate Software IMG
Products. Payment must be made by check or wire transfer to such accounts as
Seagate Software may designate.
3. Early Payment Discount. Seagate Software shall grant
Distributor an early payment discount of [*] for payments received by wire
transfer from Distributor pursuant to the terms of this Agreement no
more than twenty (20) days from the date of invoice. Such discount may be
amended or discontinued by Seagate Software upon providing thirty (30) days
prior written notice to Distributor. No early payment discount will be given
unless all past due invoices are paid in full, other than those invoices which
the parties agree are the subject of a good faith dispute, and such discount is
only applicable to Products identified and shipped pursuant to Distributor's
initial purchase order for "new" Product, and not to any Products reshipped
pursuant to Seagate Software's warranty provisions or returned for any reason.
4. Credit Information. The foregoing credit terms, and the
maximum amount of Distributor's credit line, will be subject to Distributor's
providing Seagate Software the following information:
(a) Distributor's annual and quarterly financial
statements, which are publicly available through the Internet on Distributor's

Gathering and Retrieval (▇▇▇▇▇) database; and

hereinafter granted, are subject to modification or withdrawal in the manner and

request from Seagate Software. Distributor is not obligated to pay for items not
received by it.

(a) For Seagate Software NSMG Products. If Seagate Software
NSMG reduces its standard retail price, it will credit Distributor with the
difference for all Seagate Software NSMG Products which were shipped to
Distributor by Seagate Software NSMG (and not by any other party) during the 120
days preceding the date the reduced price is first offered and which are still
held in inventory by Distributor on such date. Distributor may make only one
domestic and one international credit request per reduction; except that Seagate
Software NSMG may, in its discretion, accept an additional request if
Distributor can establish that its failure to comply was a result of mistake or
inadvertence. Each such request must be in writing and delivered to Seagate
Software NSMG within twenty (20) business days after Seagate Software NSMG's
notice of the price reduction, and must provide Seagate Software NSMG with
written confirmation of the identity and quantity of the inventory for which
Distributor claims a credit, as Seagate Software NSMG may require.
(b) For Seagate Software IMG Products. If Seagate Software IMG
reduces its standard retail price or offers the Seagate Software IMG Products at
a lower price, including raising the discount offered, to any other similarly
situated distributor, it will credit Distributor with the difference between the
invoice price charged to Distributor and the reduced price for each unit of
Seagate Software IMG Products held in inventory by Distributor on the date the
reduced price is first offered. Price protection credit will not apply to
Seagate Software IMG Products purchased by Distributor from parties other than
Seagate Software IMG. Each request for price protection must be in writing and
delivered to Seagate Software IMG within twenty (20) business days after Seagate
Software IMG's notice of the price reduction, and must provide Seagate Software
IMG with written confirmation of the identity and quantity of the inventory for
which Distributor claims a credit, as Seagate Software IMG may require. Seagate
Software IMG may, in its sole discretion, provide Distributor's customers, on a
case by case basis, with a price reduction on inventory purchased within 90 days
of price decrease. In such case, proof of purchase by Distributor's customer
must be provided. Distributor will use commercially reasonable efforts to
provide inventory reporting of its customers' inventory.
8. Letters of Credit. Unless otherwise agreed in writing on a
particular sale, any letter of credit required by Seagate Software shall be
irrevocable and made payable in
21
U.S. Dollars at a bank designated by Seagate Software available by draft at
sight upon (1) loading of the Products on board carrier and (2) presentation to
Distributor or its agent or bank of the commercial invoice and bills of lading
within the time specified in the letter of credit. Such letter of credit shall
stipulate an expiration date of 3 months after the date Distributor orders the
Products, be issued subject to the Uniform Customs and Practices for Documentary
Credits (1983) Revision ICC Publications No. 400 (or superseding equivalent), be
transferable, and otherwise be on terms and conditions acceptable to Seagate
Software as it may require from time to time.

WHEREAS Ingram has compiled and organized certain information relating to its

is not limited to the "Point of Sale (POS) Report" ("Proprietary Information");
and
WHEREAS Ingram agrees to disclose Proprietary Information to Vendor for the
limited purpose set out herein; and

who contact Vendor of their own accord, and (c) who are developed as prospective
customers or dealers independent of the Proprietary Information.

measures that it takes to protect its own most highly confidential information
and shall ensure that its employees who have access to Proprietary Information
have signed a non-use and non-disclosure agreement in content similar to the

reference as if fully set forth herein.
5. Vendor and Ingram mutually agree that ▇▇▇▇▇▇'▇ public disclosure of the
Proprietary Information, except pursuant to a confidential disclosure agreement,
to any party will release
24
Vendor from the obligation of confidentiality with respect to that portion of
the Proprietary Information actually disclosed by ▇▇▇▇▇▇.
6. Upon termination of this Agreement by either party for any reason,
Vendor shall return all Proprietary Information, in the form received by Vendor,
to Ingram within thirty (30) days. For purposes of enforcing this provision,
Vendor's return obligation shall survive the termination of this Agreement.
7. Vendor acknowledges the damages which Ingram may suffer in the event of
Vendor's breach of obligations set forth herein. Vendors agrees to and shall
indemnify Ingram from and compensate Ingram for any and all damage or injury,
including legal fees and costs incurred by Ingram, as a direct consequence of
any action or inaction of Vendor with respect to the Proprietary Information.
This provision shall survive the expiration or earlier termination of this
Agreement for a period of one (1) year. THE LIABILITY OF VENDOR OR ITS
AFFILIATES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT , REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS OF LIABILITY OR THE
FORM OF ACTION, SHALL IN NO EVENT EXCEED THE TOTAL PRICE PAID TO VENDOR BY
INGRAM DURING THE PRIOR TWELVE MONTH PERIOD, OR ANY APPLICABLE PRO-RATA PORTION

AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, OR OTHER
DAMAGES, HOWEVER CAUSED, WHETHER FOR BREACH OF CONTRACT, NEGLIGENCE OR
OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER OR NOT VENDOR HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
DAMAGES. THE ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF THIS SECTION IS TO LIMIT THE POTENTIAL
LIABILITY OF VENDOR AND ITS AFFILIATES ARISING OUT OF THIS AGREEMENT.
8. The rights, promises, duties, and obligations set out herein, and the
validity, interpretation, performance, and legal effect of the whole Agreement
shall be governed and determined by the laws of the State of California. In the

or judicial decree, such provision shall be construed only to the maximum extent
permitted by law, and the remainder of the Agreement shall be valid and
enforceable in accordance with its terms.
