4.1 INITIAL DEVELOPMENT SERVICES.
(a) Specifications.
(i) Orbitz will provide AA with (A) Specifications
for the Core Functionality identified in Exhibit B that will be available on the
Delivery Date and (B) dedicated resources to assist AA in determining the
AA-Specific Functionality necessary to implement the Orbitz Software. AA will
thereafter provide Orbitz with a definitive list of the requested Deliverables,
along with any Requirements therefor, within any time period set forth in the
Schedule.
(ii) Orbitz will, within the time period set
forth in the Schedule, review the Requirements described in the preceding
subsection and provide AA with (A) Specifications for the Deliverables, (B) a
Not-To-Exceed Fee Estimate for the development of any requested AA-Specific
Functionality, and (C) a non-binding fee estimate for the development of any
requested AA-Competitive Functionality. The Specifications will include
procedures for developing mutually acceptable, objective criteria for testing
the Deliverables and any applicable requirements specifying the physical
locations where development will occur.
(iii) Following receipt of the Specifications,
the Not-To-Exceed Fee Estimate and the non-binding fee estimate described in the
preceding subsection, within the time period set forth in the Schedule AA will
provide Orbitz with written verification of which portions of the Deliverables
AA requests that Orbitz develop. Thereafter, AA and Orbitz will use reasonable
commercial efforts to agree upon the prioritization of the functionality to be
included in the Deliverables by the date set forth in the Schedule, including
the Core Functionality, the AA-Specific Functionality, and any other Initial
Development Services.
(b) Deliverables. Upon the parties' mutual agreement of the
prioritization of the Specifications in accordance with Section 4.1(a)(iii),
Orbitz will provide AA with dedicated resources to support the development of
the Deliverables. Orbitz will develop the Deliverables requested by AA in
accordance with the development milestone dates set forth in the Schedule.
Sabre-Specific Code will be considered AA-Specific Functionality, for which AA
will pay any applicable License and Development Fees in accordance with this
Agreement; provided, however, that at such time that Orbitz makes Sabre-Specific
Code available to, or uses Sabre-Specific Code for the benefit of, any
Competitor hosted in a Sabre GDS, any subsequent development of Sabre-Specific
Code will be considered Core Functionality, the development of which is not
chargeable to AA. When Orbitz has satisfactorily completed coding and
CONFIDENTIAL Page 5
testing of the Deliverables, Orbitz will: (i) notify AA, (ii) provide the Orbitz
test results to AA, and (iii) make such Deliverables available to AA for
acceptance testing.
4.2 FUTURE DEVELOPMENT SERVICES. Subject to Section 4.8, after the
Launch Date, AA may from time to time during the Term request that Orbitz
develop additional AA-Specific Functionality by submitting a Statement of
Services listing the requested AA-Specific Functionality and any Requirements
therefor. Orbitz will promptly review such Requirements and provide AA with (a)
Specifications for such AA-Specific Functionality; (b) a Not-To-Exceed Fee
Estimate for the development of such AA-Specific Functionality, including a
non-binding fee estimate for the development of any AA-Competitive
Functionality; (c) in the event Orbitz does not agree to designate any requested
AA-Competitive Functionality as such, a written statement indicating such
denial; and (d) an estimated timetable for commencement and completion of such
additional AA-Specific Functionality (collectively, the "Estimate"). Orbitz will
use commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that the Estimate is based on
assumptions and data that are realistic, reasonable and attainable. The
Specifications will include procedures for developing mutually acceptable,
objective criteria for testing the AA-Specific Functionality and any applicable
Requirements specifying the physical locations where development will occur. In
the event AA elects to proceed with such development in accordance with the
Estimate, Orbitz will take all reasonable steps to make available to AA
sufficient resources to fulfill the request. In the event any aspect of the
Estimate is not reasonably suitable to AA, Orbitz will allow AA to fund
dedicated Orbitz resources to fulfill such request, with such efforts being
provided at the rates set forth in Section 6.1(b) of this Agreement, provided
that such funding commitment is for a duration of not less than six months for
each such dedicated resource.
4.3 ACCEPTANCE TESTING.
(a) Following receipt of Orbitz's notice that a Deliverable
is ready for acceptance testing, AA will test the Deliverable within the time
period set forth in the Schedule (the "Test Period") to determine whether the
Deliverable substantially conforms to the Specifications. AA's acceptance
testing will include unit testing, system testing within the total Orbitz
Software solution, and ▇▇.▇▇▇ site integration testing. If AA determines after
such acceptance testing that a Deliverable substantially conforms to the
Specifications, AA will accept such Deliverable and provide Orbitz with notice
that the Deliverable is accepted. Acceptance of a Deliverable will occur on the
later to occur of (i) the date AA successfully completes acceptance tests
demonstrating that the Deliverable substantially conforms to the acceptance
criteria specified in the applicable Statement of Services and AA issues a
written notice of acceptance, or (ii) ten days after the end of the Test Period.
(b) If a Deliverable fails to substantially conform to the
Specifications, AA will provide Orbitz with a written report of the
non-conformity, within ten days after the end of the Test Period, specifying
such non-conformity in reasonable detail. Upon receipt of a non-conformity
report, Orbitz will either correct and resubmit the Deliverable for re-testing
within ten days of AA's notice of non-conformance, or as otherwise set forth in
the Schedule or, if Orbitz reasonably believes that such reported non-conformity
is actually a modification from the agreed upon Specifications, Orbitz will
notify AA that such reported non-conformity is actually a Change Request, to be
handled pursuant to Section 7. In the event that a Deliverable fails to pass
acceptance testing and the failure is due to causes outside the control of
Orbitz, Orbitz agrees to use its commercially reasonable efforts to make its
personnel available to provide assistance to help resolve the problem; such
assistance to be chargeable as Initial Development Services.
4.4 FAILURE TO DELIVER CONFORMING SOFTWARE. In the event that Orbitz
fails to deliver Deliverables substantially in conformance with the
Specifications, including the Requirements, within 30 days of the Delivery Date,
then AA will not be charged for any development efforts performed by Orbitz or
its Subcontractors following such 30 day period with respect to that
non-conforming Deliverable. In the event that Orbitz fails to deliver
Deliverables that are substantially in conformance with the Specifications
within 90 days of the Delivery Date, AA will have the option, at its sole
discretion, to either (a) terminate
CONFIDENTIAL Page 6
this Agreement, receive a refund of all the License and Development Fees paid to
Orbitz and be released from any further payment obligation under this Agreement,
including payment of the remaining [***]% of the Fixed Hosting and Support Fee
described in Section 6.2; (b) issue a partial acceptance of the Deliverables and
obtain a refund of any portion of the License and Development Fees previously
paid for any rejected Deliverables, including fees paid for any other previously
accepted Deliverables rendered unusable due to the rejected Deliverables; or (c)
extend the Delivery Date while reserving its right to revoke acceptance pursuant
to options (a) and (b) above if corrections to the defective Deliverables are
not completed in a timely manner. In the event AA elects to issue a "partial
acceptance" or extends the Delivery Date pursuant to (b) or (c) above, AA will
not be charged for any subsequent development services performed by Orbitz or
its Subcontractors required to complete such Deliverables. The remedies
available to AA under this Section 4.4 will only apply to the extent that AA,
including its subcontractors, has not caused or contributed to the delay.
4.5 INSTALLATION AND INTEGRATION. Orbitz will be responsible for the
design, construction, installation and implementation of the Orbitz Software on
its servers or servers under its control. Upon implementation, Orbitz will
provide AA with all supporting documentation for the Orbitz Software as set
forth in the Specifications. Orbitz will not be responsible for any integration
services or for converting or loading any AA data into the Orbitz Software,
unless otherwise agreed in a Statement of Services or pursuant to the Change
Control Procedures.
4.6 INTERFACE TO SABRE. With respect to any connectivity interface
that is required under any Specifications, the parties acknowledge that Orbitz's
obligations to develop such connectivity interface is expressly dependent upon
the cooperation of Sabre and AA. Any such development, to the extent performed
by Orbitz, will be deemed AA-Specific Functionality for purposes of this
Agreement, and Orbitz will be solely responsible for the maintenance, support
and operation of such development. AA will provide Orbitz with any and all
information and assistance reasonably requested by Orbitz to develop and
maintain a connectivity interface with Sabre. Orbitz agrees that it will use
commercially reasonable efforts to cooperate with Sabre for all purposes in
connection with this Agreement. Orbitz will not be responsible for any delay or
failure to meet the Service Level Commitments specified in Exhibit F to the
extent such delay or failure is (a) caused by or related to AA's or Sabre's
failure to cooperate with Orbitz or to provide the information and assistance
that Orbitz may reasonably request to develop and maintain the connectivity
interface with Sabre, or (b) caused by or related to a failure in the Sabre
system.
4.7 LIMITATION. Orbitz will have no obligation to develop or provide
any functionality (including without limitation, coding rules or logic) with
respect to the Orbitz Software or the connectivity interface which is not
specifically requested by AA or included in any Statement of Services,
Specification or Change Order in accordance with this Agreement.
4.8 FURTHER DEVELOPMENT. Each party agrees that development of an
ongoing enhancement prioritization process is necessary to ensure that AA
receives the requisite resources should any Competitor select an Orbitz
solution. After the Delivery Date or upon completion of the Initial Development,
whichever is later, Orbitz will provide development services to AA pursuant to
the change control procedures set forth in Section 7. Any such subsequent
development of additional AA-Specific Functionality is outside the scope of
Orbitz's Hosting and Support Services obligations, and any such requests will be
handled as a new Statement of Services or as a Change Request pursuant to
Section 7.
4.9 ATTRIBUTION. Nothing in this Agreement will be deemed to require
AA to provide attribution for Orbitz or any third party with respect to the
Orbitz Software.

provided pursuant to Orbitz's then-current first level support terms and
conditions. Support will extend to, and be provided for, any Core Functionality
or Updates thereto developed during the Term and the connectivity interface
developed pursuant to Section 4.6.
5.4 UPDATES. Orbitz will make available to AA all Updates to the
Orbitz Software in a form which is compatible with the AA-Specific
Functionality, and will use commercially reasonable efforts to provide such
Updates to AA within 30 days of Orbitz's general release thereof. Such Updates
will include third party licensor functionality incorporated into the Orbitz
Software, to the extent permitted by Orbitz's agreements with its licensors.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, in no event will AA be charged an additional fee
for such Updates, unless otherwise agreed by AA. AA will have the right to
refuse, or delay implementation of, any Updates if such Updates: (a) involve an
additional third party license fee; (b) have been observed to cause performance
problems or degradation; or (c) will cause AA to incur additional indirect costs
(such as for related user interfaces) in order to implement the Update. If AA
elects not to implement an Update pursuant to the preceding sentence, Orbitz
will continue to provide support as described in Section 5.3 for the then
currently installed version of the Orbitz Software. Orbitz will use commercially
reasonable efforts to develop and release any Updates that are reasonably
requested by AA to keep the air transportation booking aspects of the Core
Functionality competitive with, and comparable to, similar products in the
marketplace.
5.5 OUT-OF-SCOPE SERVICES. Orbitz is not responsible for profile
databases, Website presentation or design, ITA pricing services, shared use of
other Orbitz partnerships, non-air functionality, customer service (unless
otherwise agreed by the parties in writing), fulfillment, or any and all other
services not specifically identified in this Agreement. The Orbitz Software does
not include the ITA pricing engine and is for air transportation bookings only.
In the event that AA obtains a license to the ITA pricing engine from ITA,
Orbitz will provide AA with support to implement such functionality into the
Orbitz Software. Any such support will be provided as a Change Request pursuant
to Section 7, and the fee for such support will be calculated using Orbitz's
Labor Rate. AA will negotiate the requisite license directly with ITA for such
functionality, or such other future third party licensor, as the case may be.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 8
6. FEES AND PAYMENT
6.1 LICENSE AND DEVELOPMENT FEES.
(a) Initial Development Services. In consideration for the
licenses granted by Orbitz hereunder and the Services related to development of
the AA-Specific Functionality and AA-Competitive Functionality as part of the
Initial Development Services performed by Orbitz personnel, AA will pay Orbitz a
fee (the "License and Development Fee") for such Initial Development Services at
the agreed upon rate of [***], whether such Initial Development Services were
performed prior to or after the Effective Date.
(b) Future Development Services. The License and
Development Fee for Services related to development of AA-Specific Functionality
(other than AA-Competitive Functionality) as part of the Future Development
Services performed by Orbitz personnel will be calculated using Orbitz's Labor
Rate. The License and Development Fee for Services related to development of AA
Competitive Functionality as part of the Future Development Services performed
by Orbitz personnel will be calculated using the then current market rates, as
determined by the parties based upon rates then being charged by Orbitz or its
Subcontractor (as the case may be) for similar services. AA will also reimburse
Orbitz the actual costs (without markup) incurred for any third party
professional services; provided, however, that Orbitz will notify AA of such
third party rates in advance of performance of such services.
6.2 FIXED HOSTING AND SUPPORT FEES. Following the Launch Date,
Orbitz will perform the Hosting and Support Services for an annual Fixed Hosting
and Support Fee, as set forth in Exhibit D.
6.3 FIXED HOSTING AND SUPPORT FEE CHANGES.
(a) In the event that either (i) the United States
Department of Justice or the Department of Transportation initiate formal
proceedings against Orbitz that result in the entry of a final, non-appealable
judgment, or (ii) Orbitz enters into an agreement or consent decree with either
such Department, that prohibits or restricts Orbitz' operation of its online
booking site and such prohibition or restriction is reasonably expected to
impact Orbitz' ability to host the Orbitz Software as contemplated by this
Agreement, then AA will have the option to host, or engage a third party to
host, the Orbitz Software without changing the other obligations of Orbitz set
forth herein. In such event, the annual Fixed Hosting and Support Fee will be
reduced by the cost incurred by AA to host, and establish and maintain the
connectivity required to host, the Orbitz Software for each year (or portion
thereof) remaining in the Term.
(b) The parties acknowledge and agree that the pricing
offered by Orbitz herein is based on AA's current and projected booking
transaction volumes, based on internally generated growth. In the event that AA
is a party, directly or indirectly, to [***] (each, an "Acquisition
Transaction"), and such Acquisition Transaction is reasonably expected to result
in a Booked Volume Increase (as defined in Section 6.3(f)) of more than [***]%,
then the annual Fixed Hosting and Support Fee will be increased (the "Fixed
Hosting and Support Fee Increase") by an amount equal to (x) the increase in
costs incurred by Orbitz due solely to the Booked Volume Increase, plus (y)
[***]% of such costs; provided, however, that the Fixed Hosting and Support Fee
Increase will not exceed an amount equal to the Booked Volume Increase
percentage times the then current annual Fixed Hosting and Support Fee.
One-twelfth (1/12) of the Fixed Hosting and Support Fee Increase will be added
for each month remaining in the then current

year of the Agreement, and for each subsequent year during the Term, to be
effective as of the Cut-over Date and payable in accordance with the Fixed
Hosting and Support Fee schedule.
(c) (Intentionally left blank).
(d) In the event that AA experiences, directly or
indirectly, (i) a merger or divestiture of substantially all of the assets of AA
[***], or (ii) divestiture of the majority of the issued and outstanding voting
stock of AA (each, a "Divestiture Transaction") that is reasonably expected to
result in a Booked Volume Decrease (as defined in Section 6.3(f)) of more than
[***]%, then the annual Fixed Hosting and Support Fee will be decreased by an
amount (the "Fixed Hosting and Support Fee Decrease") equal to the amount of
such Booked Volume Decrease times the then-current Hosting and Support Fee (the
"Hosting and Support Fee Decrease"); provided, however, that if Orbitz can
establish that the costs incurred by Orbitz solely in connection with the Booked
Volume Decrease will decrease by an amount (the "Cost Decrease") less than the
Hosting and Support Fee Decrease, then the "Hosting and Support Fee Decrease
will equal the Cost Decrease; provided, further, that in any event, the Hosting
and Support Fee Decrease will not exceed the value of the Booked Volume Decrease
percentage applied to then current Hosting and Support Fee. One-twelfth of the
Fixed Hosting and Support Fee Decrease will be subtracted for each month
remaining in the then current year of the Agreement and for each subsequent year
during the Term, to be effective as of the Cut-over Date.
(e) In the event that Datalex Software is not used by
Orbitz to provide the Initial Development Services or Hosting and Support
Services, the annual Fixed Hosting and Support Fee will be reduced by $[***] for
each year (or portion thereof) remaining in the Term. In the event that any
Datalex Software is used by Orbitz to provide the Initial Development Services
or Hosting and Support Services, and the sublicense fee paid by Orbitz to
Datalex is less than $[***], then the annual Fixed Hosting and Support Fee will
be reduced by the amount of such fee reduction.
(f) For purposes of this Section 6.3, "Booked Volume
Increase" or "Booked Volume Decrease," will be calculated as (i) the difference
between ▇▇.▇▇▇'s average monthly Transactions during the first 90 days following
the Cut-over Date and ▇▇.▇▇▇'s average monthly Transactions during the 90 days
immediately preceding the Cut-over Date, divided by (ii) ▇▇.▇▇▇'s average
monthly Transactions during the 90 days immediately preceding the Cut-over Date.
(g) In the event that Orbitz, as the result of any cause
other than superseding law or regulation, or court or government agency order,
discontinues hosting, maintenance and/or support of the Orbitz Software, (i) the
Fixed Hosting and Support Fee will thereafter be reduced by the greater of (A)
the amounts shown on the following table, or (B) an amount equal to the cost
incurred by AA to secure comparable replacement services, and (ii) Orbitz will
refund to AA a prorated portion of the then-current quarter's Fixed Hosting and
Support Fee, with such proration equal to one-twelfth of the reduced amount
described in the foregoing clause, multiplied by the number of months remaining
in the then-current contract quarter:

6.4 REIMBURSABLE EXPENSES. AA will reimburse Orbitz at cost for the
reasonable, pre-approved travel and lodging and related out-of-pocket expenses
that Orbitz or its Subcontractors may incur in performing the Services (the
"Reimbursable Expenses"). Orbitz or its Subcontractors will use travel
authorization certificates (TACs) for air transportation whenever possible.
Orbitz will furnish AA with appropriate receipts for all Reimbursable Expenses.
6.5 PAYMENT TERMS. The annual Fixed Hosting and Support Fee will be
invoiced in four equal installments at the beginning of each calendar quarter
following the Launch Date. At Orbitz's option, the first installment payment
(the "Initial Installment") may be invoiced in advance of the Launch Date on the
date when the production environment is fully prepared for testing by AA, but no
earlier than November 15, 2001; provided, however, that in such event all
subsequent installments will be invoiced and payable as set forth above starting
with the beginning of the second calendar quarter following the Launch Date.
License and Development Fees and Reimbursable Expenses will be invoiced monthly.
AA will pay all undisputed invoices within 30 days of receipt of a correct
invoice. In the event that AA asserts in good faith that any item or items on an
invoice are not correct, then AA will within 30 days of receipt of such invoice
(i) deliver written notice to Orbitz explaining in detail why AA believes that
an item or items are not correct and (ii) pay to Orbitz all amounts on the
invoice that are not the subject of a good faith dispute by AA.
6.6 TAXES.
(a) The License and Development Fees, Fixed Hosting and
Support Fees, and Reimbursable Expenses are exclusive of all sales, services or
other taxes that Orbitz may be legally obligated to charge AA for performing the
Services, and AA will promptly pay, or reimburse Orbitz for the payment of, any
and all such taxes that may be due or payable. Orbitz will honor any tax-exempt
certificates provided by AA.
(b) AA will not be liable for the payment or reimbursement
to Orbitz of any franchise taxes or fees, or any taxes measured by or against
Orbitz's income or property. AA will not withhold taxes or Social Security
payments from any sum paid to Orbitz under this Agreement. Orbitz acknowledges
and agrees that Orbitz is solely responsible for the payment of its federal,
state and local employment taxes. Orbitz agrees to indemnify AA for all tax
liability described in this Section 6.6(b), including interest and penalties, if
any.
6.7 MOST FAVORED CUSTOMER. During the Term, the financial terms of
this Agreement will be at least as favorable or more favorable than the
financial terms of any other current or prospective Orbitz customer that engages
Orbitz for a project that is substantially similar to the engagement
contemplated herein. The determination of what is and is not "substantially
similar" will be based on relevant factors such as scope of project, volume of
transactions, amount of integration and custom development work required, and
pricing model. Any change in financial terms pursuant to this clause will only
be applied on a prospective basis, effective as of the effective date of such
other customer's agreement with Orbitz, whether such agreement is effective
before or after the Effective Date.
6.8 REPORTING; AUDIT. Orbitz will create and maintain accurate
records with respect to its performance under this Agreement, including without
limitation the number and substance of all Transactions and the calculation of
the Monthly System Availability. Orbitz will maintain such records during the
Term and for one year following any expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Within five days following the end of each applicable month, Orbitz provide AA
with written reports of such information, which reports will be in such detail
as may be reasonably requested by AA from time to time, including without
limitation detail as to the number and substance of all Transactions (with a
breakdown of new PNRs and modified PNRs) and Monthly System Availability. AA
will have the right, upon not less than five days prior notice, to conduct an
audit of the Transaction information included in such monthly
CONFIDENTIAL Page 11
reports. If such an audit reveals that any of Orbitz's reports submitted
overstated amounts owed by AA, then Orbitz shall pay to AA, within 30 days
following the conclusion of such audit, the amount of any such overpayments.
7. CHANGE REQUESTS
7.1 CHANGE REQUEST. If either party wants to request a modification,
addition or replacement of the Orbitz Software (including, but not limited to,
the Core Functionality and the AA-Specific Functionality) or the Hosting and
Support Services, that party's Relationship Manager will submit a completed
Change Request to the Relationship Manager of the other party. The Change
Request will adequately describe (a) the requested modification, (b) the
estimated resources required to implement the modification, (c) its impact on
the Schedule, (d) its impact, if any, resulting in an increase or decrease to
the License and Development Fees and/or the Fixed Hosting and Support Fees and
(e) its impact on the maintenance requirements of the Orbitz Software.
7.2 CHANGE ACCEPTANCE. Upon receipt of a completed Change Request,
the recipient Relationship Manager will either (a) expressly accept the proposed
modification without qualification within 5 days after its receipt or (b) defer
the request for discussion of the next scheduled or emergency status meeting.
The Relationship Managers will use reasonable commercial efforts to resolve any
deferred proposed modification expeditiously. No proposed Change Request will be
effective unless expressly accepted by the primary or alternate Relationship
Managers of both parties. If so accepted, the Change Request will be executed by
the Relationship Managers of both parties and will then constitute a formal
amendment of this Agreement.
8. CONFIDENTIALITY
The following provisions shall supplement the terms of that certain
Non-Disclosure Agreement that was attached as Exhibit C to the Letter of Intent
between AA and Orbitz executed in April 2001 (the "NDA"), a copy of which is
attached as Exhibit G to this Agreement and incorporated by reference herein.
The NDA shall continue to be in full force and effect during the term of this
Agreement:
8.1 PROTECTION OF CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION. Each party agrees to
maintain strict confidentiality regarding the subject matter of this Agreement,
in accordance with the NDA. Each party will take such measures that are
necessary to protect against the disclosure or use of the Confidential
Information of the other party as it takes to protect its own proprietary or
confidential information (but in any case no less than reasonable measures).
Each party agrees that the other party will have no adequate remedy at law if
there is a breach or threatened breach of this Section 8 or the NDA and,
accordingly, that either party will be entitled (in addition to any legal or
equitable remedies available to such party) to injunctive or other equitable
relief to prevent or remedy such breach.
8.2 RESTRICTIONS ON DISCLOSURE AND USE. Notwithstanding anything
contained in the NDA, Orbitz will not disclose any Confidential Information
provided to it by AA, including the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
any advanced fare information provided under Section 5.2 of this Agreement or
otherwise, to any equity owners or principals of Orbitz that are employed by a
Competitor of AA except to the extent required by the laws of the State of
Delaware and/or the Orbitz LLC Agreement dated May 9, 2000 (formerly the "DUNC
LLC Agreement"). In the event such disclosure is required pursuant to the laws
of the State of
Delaware, Orbitz will provide advance notice to the Vice
President of Customer Technology at AA and provide AA sufficient time to contest
the need for such disclosure prior to making such disclosure. In the event
disclosure is required pursuant to the Orbitz LLC Agreement, Orbitz will provide
advance notice to, and obtain written approval of such disclosure from, the Vice
President of Customer Technology at AA, which approval will not be unreasonably
withheld.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 12
9. PROPRIETARY RIGHTS
9.1 OWNERSHIP.
(a) As between AA and Orbitz, and to the extent of Orbitz's
prior ownership rights, AA acknowledges that Orbitz will own all patents
(including any business process patents), rights to file for patents,
inventions, copyrights, trademarks, trade secrets and all other right, title and
interest (including any renewals or extensions) in or to the Orbitz Software,
including the AA-Specific Functionality (but excluding the AA-Competitive
Functionality) developed by Orbitz or its employees or Subcontractors during the
performance of this Agreement and any derivative works thereof created by
Orbitz. AA hereby assigns and agrees to assign, and will cause its
Subcontractors to assign, to Orbitz all rights that AA may have or acquire in or
to such works for no additional consideration. No other person will acquire or
retain any rights in or to such works, unless Orbitz otherwise agrees on a
case-by-case basis. At Orbitz's request and expense, AA will cause the execution
of the instruments that may be appropriate to give full legal effect to this
Section for no additional consideration. Orbitz will not subcontract with a
third party developer granting any ownership rights to any AA-Specific
Functionality that would in any way impair AA's ability to have and enjoy full
use of the licenses and rights granted to AA under this Agreement.
(b) Orbitz acknowledges and agrees that it will develop the
AA-Competitive Functionality for AA as a "work-made-for-hire" and that AA will
own the copyright in or to the AA-Competitive Functionality, upon payment to
Orbitz of the applicable License and Development Fees for such AA-Competitive
Functionality. As between Orbitz and AA, Orbitz acknowledges that AA will own
all trademarks, trade secrets and all other right, title and interest (including
any renewals or extensions), excluding patent rights, in or to the
AA-Competitive Functionality and any derivative works thereof created by Orbitz.
Orbitz hereby assigns and agrees to assign, and will cause its Subcontractors to
assign, to AA for no additional consideration all rights that Orbitz may have or
acquires in or to such works. No other person will acquire or retain any rights
in or to such works, unless AA otherwise agrees on a case-by-case basis. At AA's
request and expense and for no additional consideration, Orbitz will cause the
execution of the instruments that may be appropriate to give full legal effect
to this Section for no additional consideration. Each party agrees that it will
not file a patent application with respect to the AA-Competitive Functionality
or any derivative works thereof without the written consent of the other party.
9.2 LICENSE TO AA.
(a) Upon AA's Acceptance of any Orbitz Software, Orbitz
grants AA the limited, paid-up, non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free,
worldwide right, effective during the Term, to access and use (and permit its
customers to access and use) such Orbitz Software (other than the AA-Competitive
Functionality, which will be owned by AA in accordance with Section 9.1 of this
Agreement) on the terms and conditions set forth in this Agreement. AA
acknowledges and agrees that any access and use by its customers will be subject
to the terms and conditions posted to the Website, which will include
protections for Orbitz at least as protective as the terms and conditions that
AA posts on the Website to protect its own rights, limit its liability, and
disclaim forms of damages. AA will not display or use the Orbitz Software as
part of any third party site or service.
(b) Upon AA's Acceptance of the AA-Specific Functionality
(other than AA-Competitive Functionality, which will be owned by AA in
accordance with Section 9.1 of this Agreement), Orbitz grants AA the perpetual,
royalty-free, worldwide right to access and use such AA-Specific Functionality,
in both source and object code forms, for AA's ordinary and customary business
purposes; provided, however, that AA will not have the right to market or
distribute the AA-Specific Functionality to any third party.
(c) During the Term of this Agreement, AA may access and
use (and allow its customers to use) the Orbitz Software licensed hereunder to
search, view, reserve and/or purchase travel-related products and services
offered by AA, its Affiliates, Airline Partners and other air transportation
companies in accordance with the terms and conditions set forth in this
Agreement.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 13
(d) Agents of AA who are under contract with AA to provide
outsourcing services, including, but not limited to, providing application
development services, data processing or other transactional services for the
benefit of AA and/or its Affiliates and Airline Partners, are authorized to
access and use the Orbitz Software in accordance with the terms and conditions
set forth in this Agreement.
(e) At the expiration or termination of this Agreement, AA
will have the option to purchase from Orbitz, and Orbitz agrees to grant to AA,
a perpetual, non-exclusive license to the compiled and object code for the
Orbitz Software (including the related Documentation) for [***].
9.3 LICENSE TO ORBITZ. Effective during the Term, AA hereby grants
Orbitz the non-exclusive, non-transferable, royalty-free, world-wide right to
(a) use the AA Information solely to perform its obligations under this
Agreement; (b) use aggregated customer data derived from the Website bookings
for internal site management purposes, provided that Orbitz will not use or
disclose such customer data for customer tracking or any other purposes
whatsoever; and (c) use, host and display the AA-Competitive Functionality only
to provide the Hosting and Support Services to AA and to modify and adapt the
AA-Competitive Functionality for AA in accordance with this Agreement, either
directly or through Subcontractors.
10. ESCROW
10.1 ESCROWED MATERIALS. No later than 60 days after the Effective
Date, and within 30 days after release of each Update, Orbitz will deliver to
Fort ▇▇▇▇ Escrow Services, as escrow agent, the following: (a) a copy of the
current, fully commented version of the source code of the latest release of the
Orbitz Software that Orbitz owns, (b) the available Documentation related
thereto, and (c) reproducible binary masters of the latest release of the Orbitz
Software (collectively, "Escrowed Material"). A copy of the Escrow Agreement
between Orbitz and Fort ▇▇▇▇ Escrow Services related to the Escrowed Materials
will be attached hereto as Exhibit H upon execution.
10.2 MAINTENANCE. Orbitz will replace the source code of the Orbitz
Software in the event of a media defect. The nature and completeness of the
Escrowed Materials will be subject to verification by a representative of AA
only at the facilities of the escrow agent in the presence of a representative
of Orbitz. AA may not make any copies, in whole or in part, of the Escrowed
Material, and all such material will be considered to be Confidential
Information regardless of whether they have been marked "confidential". All
expenses associated with establishing and maintaining the Escrowed Materials
will be shared equally between AA and Orbitz.
10.3 RELEASE CONDITION. If Orbitz (a) generally discontinues hosting,
maintenance and/or support of the Orbitz Software, (b) is in material, uncured
breach of its maintenance and support obligations to the extent that it is in
breach of its support standard commitments for Severity 1 or Severity 2,
including those defined as a "Material Service Level Failure" in Exhibit F, or
(c) is insolvent, files a petition in bankruptcy or has such a petition filed
against it (and fails to lift any stay imposed thereby within 60 days after such
stay becomes effective), has a receiver appointed with respect to all or
substantially all of its assets, makes an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or ceases to do business in the ordinary course, then AA may demand
the release of the Escrowed Material by simultaneously sending the escrow agent,
with a copy to Orbitz, a written demand for the Escrowed Material by overnight
courier. Orbitz will cause the escrow agent to release the Escrowed Material to
AA within five business days after Orbitz's receipt of the demand notice unless
Orbitz has notified the escrow agent and AA that it disputes that a release
condition has occurred within such five-day period. If Orbitz has not provided
AA with material information within ten days of Orbitz's notification to the
escrow agent which establishes that none of the release conditions set forth
above have occurred, Orbitz's dispute will be deemed withdrawn and the escrow
agent will release the Escrowed Material to AA.
----------

the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to
the omitted portions.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 14
10.4 RIGHTS. In the event the Escrowed Material is released to AA,
Orbitz grants to AA a fully paid up license to use and modify the Escrowed
Material solely to maintain and support the Orbitz Software in accordance with
the terms of this Agreement and for no other purpose. AA will maintain the
Escrowed Material on a secure system with access limited to only those persons
necessary to maintain and support the Orbitz Software. AA may make only such
copies of the Escrowed Material as are reasonably required for archival and
disaster recovery purposes, and AA will keep any such copies under lock and key.
10.5 THIRD PARTY SOFTWARE. If the Orbitz Software includes the
Datalex Software or if Orbitz uses the Datalex Software to provide Hosting and
Support Services, within 60 days following the time that Orbitz decides to use
Datalex Software, Orbitz will use its best efforts to obtain a written agreement
with Datalex, a copy of which will be provided to AA, which provides that (a) in
the event AA receives the Orbitz-owned code as pursuant to this Agreement, the
license to the Datalex Software (including any code developed by Datalex to
support the Website) granted to Orbitz for hosting the Orbitz Software may be
assigned to AA, and (b) AA is a named third-party beneficiary of Orbitz's
agreement with Datalex. In such event, any license fees payable by AA to Datalex
for continued use of the Datalex Software, if any, will not exceed the rates
charged by Datalex to Orbitz to provide the Hosting and Support Services
hereunder. In the event Orbitz does not obtain such a written agreement, then in
the event that AA enters into a direct licensing agreement with Datalex for the
continued use of the Datalex Software, if the license fees payable by AA to
Datalex for such use exceed the rates charged by Datalex to Orbitz to provide
the Hosting and Support Services hereunder, any amounts due by AA to Orbitz
hereunder shall be reduced by an amount equal to the difference between the
rates charged by Datalex to Orbitz to provide the Hosting and Support Services
hereunder and the licensing fees due from AA to Datalex. Alternatively, in the
event Orbitz does not obtain such a written agreement, Orbitz shall have the
option of removing the Datalex Software provided that such removal does not
reduce the functionality of the then-current Orbitz Software or reduce AA's
ability to host and support the Orbitz Software.
11. WARRANTIES AND DISCLAIMERS
11.1 GENERAL WARRANTY. Each party represents and warrants that (a) it
has the full corporate authority to execute this Agreement and perform its
obligations hereunder and (b) execution or performance of this Agreement will
not violate or be considered a breach of any obligation of such party to any
third party. Each party agrees that with respect to any breach of the above
stated warranty, the non-breaching party's sole and exclusive remedy and the
breaching party's sole and exclusive liability will be the indemnity obligations
set forth in Section 12 below.
11.2 SPECIFIC WARRANTIES.
(a) Orbitz represents and warrants that it has, and will
continue to have during the Term, the right to license all Orbitz Software and
sublicense the Datalex Software (if such is used to provide Hosting and Support
Services) in accordance with this Agreement.
(b) Orbitz represents and warrants that it will perform the
Services in a good and workmanlike manner and, when applicable, in accordance
with the Service Level Agreement. In case of breach of warranty, Orbitz will, as
its sole and exclusive liability and as AA's sole and exclusive remedy, (i)
correct or re-perform the defective Services or, at Orbitz's discretion, (ii)
refund the fees actually paid to Orbitz for the defective Services. In the event
Orbitz provides the Hosting and Support Services in breach of the above stated
warranty, AA's sole and exclusive remedy and Orbitz's sole and exclusive
liability will be the service level credits or termination as set forth in the
Service Level Agreement.
11.3 LIMITATION. The warranties and remedies specified in this
Section will not apply to the extent the Deliverables or Services are defective
due to extrinsic causes beyond Orbitz's reasonable control, such as (a) natural
disasters, including without limitation fire, smoke, water, earthquakes or
lightning, (b) electrical power fluctuations or failures, (c) neglect or misuse
by AA, (d) a correction or modification of a Deliverable or Service not
authorized by Orbitz, or (e) the combination of a Deliverable or Service in any
manner not authorized by Orbitz.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 15
11.4 WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS
AGREEMENT, ALL WARRANTIES, CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNITIES AND
GUARANTEES WITH RESPECT TO THE SERVICES, THE DELIVERABLES, THE ORBITZ SOFTWARE
OR ANY COMPONENT THEREOF, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THE CORE FUNCTIONALITY
AND THE AA-SPECIFIC FUNCTIONALITY, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW,
CUSTOM, PRIOR ORAL OR WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ORBITZ, ITS AGENTS OR OTHERWISE
(INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO ANY WARRANTY OR CONDITION OF SATISFACTORY
QUALITY, ACCURACY, UNINTERRUPTED USE, TIMELINESS, TRUTHFULNESS, SEQUENCE,
COMPLETENESS, MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
NON-INFRINGEMENT AND ANY IMPLIED WARRANTIES ARISING FROM TRADE USAGE, COURSE OF
DEALING OR COURSE OF PERFORMANCE) ARE HEREBY OVERRIDDEN, EXCLUDED AND
DISCLAIMED.
12. INDEMNITY
12.1 GENERAL THIRD-PARTY INDEMNITY.
(a) Orbitz will indemnify, defend and hold harmless AA, as
well as AA's Affiliates and licensees, and each of their officers, shareholders,
directors, employees and agents (collectively, the "AA Indemnified Parties")
from and against any and all Claims, including any related Losses that AA is
required to pay any third party in any way relating to, arising out of or
resulting from: (i) any gross negligence or willful misconduct of any employee
or subcontractor of Orbitz; (ii) breach of any warranty of Orbitz contained in
Section 11.1 of this Agreement; (iii) any actual or alleged infringement of any
patent (other than with respect to AA-Competitive Functionality), copyright,
trademark, trade name, trade secret or other proprietary or intellectual
property right by any software or service provided pursuant to this Agreement;
or (iv) Orbitz's failure to comply with any and all applicable laws, rules and
regulations.
(b) AA will indemnify and hold harmless Orbitz, as well as
Orbitz's subsidiaries, licensees and Affiliates, and each of their officers,
shareholders, directors, employees and agents (collectively, the "Orbitz
Indemnified Parties") from and against any and all Losses in any way relating
to, arising out of or resulting from: (i) any gross negligence or willful
misconduct of any employee or subcontractor of AA; (ii) breach of any warranty
of AA contained in Section 11.1 of this Agreement; (iii) any actual or alleged
infringement of any copyright, trademark, trade name, trade secret or other
proprietary or intellectual property or privacy right by the AA Information; or
(iv) AA's failure to comply with any and all applicable laws, rules and
regulations related to the Website.
12.2 INDEMNIFICATION PROCEDURES.
(a) Promptly after any party entitled to indemnification
under this Section 12 ("Indemnitee") obtains knowledge of the potential
existence or commencement of a Claim, in respect of which Indemnitee is or may
be entitled to indemnification under this Agreement, such Indemnitee will
promptly notify the other party ("Indemnitor") of such Claim in writing;
provided, however, that any failure to give such notice will not waive any
rights of Indemnitee except to the extent that the rights of Indemnitor are
actually prejudiced thereby. Indemnitor will assume the defense and settlement
of such Claim with counsel reasonably satisfactory to Indemnitee at Indemnitor's
sole risk and expense; provided, however, that Indemnitee (i) will be permitted
to join in the defense and settlement of such Claim and to employ counsel at its
own expense; (ii) will reasonably cooperate with Indemnitor in the defense and
any settlement of such Claim; and (iii) will have the right to pay or settle
such Claim at any time in which event Indemnitee will be deemed to have waived
any right to indemnification therefor by Indemnitor. Indemnitor may settle any
Claim without Indemnitee's written consent unless such settlement (A) does not
include a release of all covered claims pending against Indemnitee; (B) contains
an admission of liability or wrongdoing by Indemnitee; or (C) imposes any
obligations upon Indemnitee other than an obligation to stop using any
infringing items.
(b) If Indemnitor fails to assume the defense of such Claim
or, having assumed the defense and settlement of such Claim, fails reasonably to
contest such Claim in good faith, Indemnitee, without waiving its right to
indemnification, may assume the defense and settlement of such Claim; provided,
however, that Indemnitor (i) may join in the defense and settlement of such
Claim and employ counsel at its own expense and (ii) will cooperate with
Indemnitee in the defense and settlement of such
CONFIDENTIAL Page 16
Claim. Indemnitee may settle such Claim without Indemnitor's written consent
unless such settlement (A) does not include a release of all covered Claims
pending against Indemnitor; (B) contains an admission of liability or wrongdoing
by Indemnitor; or (C) imposes any obligations upon Indemnitor other than an
obligation to stop using any infringing items. Indemnitor will be liable to
Indemnitee for all costs and expenses incurred in connection with the defense
and settlement of any Claim pursuant to this Section 12.2(b).
(c) Upon a determination of liability in respect of this
Section 12, Indemnitor will pay Indemnitee the amount so determined within 10
business days after the date of such determination. If there should be a dispute
as to the amount or manner of determination of any indemnity obligation owed
under this Agreement, Indemnitor will nevertheless pay when due such portion, if
any, of the obligation as will not be subject to dispute. Upon the payment in
full of any claim, either by setoff or otherwise, the party or entity making
payment will be subrogated to the rights of Indemnitee against any person, firm,
corporation or other entity with respect to the subject matter of such claim.
12.3 INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY REMEDIES. In the event of a Claim under
Section 12.1(a)(iii) above, and in addition to all other obligations of Orbitz
in this Section 12, Orbitz will either (a) provide AA with reasonable assurances
acceptable to AA that AA will continue to have the right to use the affected
products or services or (b) Orbitz will, at its expense, either (i) procure for
AA the right to continue use of such infringing products or services, or any
component thereof; or (ii) replace or modify the same with non-infringing
products or services satisfactory to AA, provided that Orbitz will provide AA
with a comparable temporary replacement product or reimburse AA for the
reasonable costs incurred by AA in obtaining an alternative product in the event
AA cannot use the affected product. If Orbitz cannot accomplish any of the
foregoing within a reasonable time and at commercially reasonable rates, then
Orbitz will accept the return of the infringing component of the products or
services, along with any other components of any products rendered unusable by
AA as a result of the infringing component, and refund the price paid to Orbitz
for such components.
13. NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
EXCEPT WITH REGARD TO DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF ANY BREACH OF SECTION 8
OR FOR PERSONAL INJURY, AND THE INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS CONTAINED IN SECTION
12, WITH RESPECT TO EACH OF WHICH LIABILITY WILL NOT BE LIMITED PURSUANT TO THIS
SECTION 13, UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR LOST
PROFITS, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, AND WHETHER ARISING OUT OF BREACH
OR FAILURE OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY, BREACH OF CONTRACT,
MISREPRESENTATION, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR OTHERWISE. EXCEPT FOR
EITHER PARTY'S INDEMNIFICATION OBLIGATIONS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH HEREIN, CLAIMS
UNDER SECTION 8 HEREOF OR AA'S PAYMENT OBLIGATIONS, IN NO EVENT WILL THE
AGGREGATE LIABILITY WHICH EITHER PARTY MAY INCUR TO THE OTHER PARTY IN ANY
ACTION OR PROCEEDING EXCEED THE GREATER OF (X) THE TOTAL FEES PAYABLE BY AA TO
ORBITZ DURING THE 12 MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE EVENT THAT RESULTED IN SUCH
LIABILITY, OR (Y) [***].
14. INSURANCE
Orbitz will be solely responsible for obtaining and maintaining
appropriate insurance coverage for its activities under this Agreement,
including, but not limited to, comprehensive general liability (bodily injury
and property damage) insurance and professional liability insurance and
requiring its subcontractors to have similar insurance coverage. At AA's
request, Orbitz will provide AA with copies of the certificates of insurance.
15. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
Unless otherwise agreed by the parties, any claim, controversy or
other dispute between the parties relating to this Agreement will, before the
filing of any legal action, be submitted to two senior executives representing
AA and Orbitz, respectively. These executives will promptly meet to explore all
possible ways of resolving the dispute amicably. Any resolution upon which these
executives may agree
----------
*** Certain information on this page has been omitted and filed separately with
the Commission. Confidential treatment has been requested with respect to
the omitted portions.
CONFIDENTIAL Page 17
in writing will be final and binding on the parties. If the executives do not

EXHIBIT H
ESCROW AGREEMENT
To be attached upon execution per Section 10.1 of the Agreement.
MASTER PREFERRED ESCROW AGREEMENT
Master Number _____________________
This agreement ("Agreement") is effective August, 2002 among DSI Technology
Escrow Services, Inc. ("DSI"), Orbitz, LLC ("Depositor") and any additional
party signing the Acceptance Form attached to this Agreement ("Preferred
Beneficiary"), who collectively may be referred to in this Agreement as the
parties ("Parties").
A. Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary have entered or will enter into a
license agreement, development agreement, and/or other agreement regarding
certain proprietary technology of Depositor (referred to in this Agreement 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 Beneficiary in the conduct of its business and, therefore,
Preferred Beneficiary needs access to the proprietary technology under certain
limited circumstances.
D. Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary desire to establish an escrow with
DSI to provide for the retention, administration and controlled access of
certain proprietary technology materials of Depositor.
E. The parties desire this Agreement to be supplementary to the License
Agreement pursuant to United States [Bankruptcy] Code, Section 365(n).
ARTICLE 1 - DEPOSITS
1.1 OBLIGATION TO MAKE DEPOSIT. Upon the signing of this Agreement by the
parties, including the signing of the Acceptance Form, and Exhibit D naming the
Deposit Account, Depositor shall deliver to DSI the proprietary technology 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 Exhibit A. If
Exhibit A is applicable, it is to be prepared and signed by Depositor and
Preferred Beneficiary. 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 Exhibit
B to this Agreement by listing each such tangible media by the item label
description, the type of media and the quantity. Exhibit B shall 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 obligation to notify the parties regarding
the status of the account as required in Section 2.2 below.
1.3. ESCROW ACCOUNT NAME IDENTIFICATION. Subject to this Article 1, and at the
time Depositor makes the initial deposit with DSI in accordance with Section 1.2
above, Depositor shall complete and sign Exhibit D naming the initial account
upon which the Deposit Materials are
Page 2
written or stored. Any new deposits referencing new account names made
subsequent to the signing of this Agreement, intended by the Depositor to be
held in a separate account and maintained separately from the initial account,
but made a part of this Agreement, shall be provided for by the Depositor on
Exhibit E, and Exhibit E shall be signed by the Depositor and DSI.
1.4 ACCEPTANCE OF DEPOSIT. When DSI receives the Deposit Materials, DSI will
conduct a deposit inspection. 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 date and sign Exhibit B and mail a copy
thereof to Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary. If DSI determines that the
labeling does not match the item descriptions or quantity on Exhibit B, DSI will
(a) note the discrepancies in writing on Exhibit B; (b) date and sign Exhibit B
with the exceptions noted; and (c) mail a copy of Exhibit B to Depositor and
Preferred Beneficiary. DSI's acceptance of the deposit occurs upon the signing
of Exhibit B by DSI. Delivery of the signed Exhibit B to Preferred Beneficiary
is Preferred Beneficiary's notice that the Deposit Materials have been received
and accepted by DSI. Other than DSI's inspection of the Deposit Materials, DSI
shall have no obligation to the accuracy, completeness, functionality,
performance or non-performance of the Deposit Materials.
5 DEPOSITOR'S REPRESENTATIONS. Depositor represents as follows:
(a) Depositor lawfully possesses all of the Deposit Materials
deposited with DSI;
(b) with respect to all of the Deposit Materials, Depositor has the
right and authority to grant to DSI and Preferred Beneficiary the
rights as provided in this Agreement;
(c) as of the effective date of this Agreement, the Deposit Materials
are not the subject of a lien or encumbrances; provided, however,
that any liens or encumbrances made after the execution of this
Agreement will not prohibit, limit, or alter the rights and
obligations of DSI under this Agreement;
(d) the Deposit Materials consist of the proprietary technology and
other materials identified either in the License Agreement or
Exhibit A, as the case may be; and
(e) the Deposit Materials are readable and useable in their current
form or, if any portion of the Deposit Materials is encrypted, the
decryption tools and decryption keys have also been deposited.
1.6 VERIFICATION. Upon receipt of a written request from Preferred
Beneficiary, DSI and Preferred Beneficiary may enter into a separate proposal
agreement pursuant to which DSI will agree, upon certain terms and conditions,
to inspect the Deposit Materials for the purpose of verifying its accuracy,
completeness, sufficiency and quality ("Verification Proposal Agreement").
Preferred Beneficiary and DSI shall notify Depositor of the Verification
Proposal Agreement, and the verification shall be conducted at Preferred
Beneficiary's expense. Depositor shall have the right to be present at the
verification. If a verification is elected after the Deposit Materials have been
delivered to DSI, then only DSI, or at DSI's election, an independent contractor
or company selected by DSI, may perform the verification.
1.7 DEPOSIT UPDATES. Unless otherwise provided by the License Agreement,
Depositor shall update the Deposit Materials within sixty (60) days of each
release of a new version of the product, which is subject to the License
Agreement. Such updates will be added to the existing deposit. All deposit
updates shall be listed on a new Exhibit B and the new Exhibit B shall be signed
by Depositor. Each Exhibit B will be held and maintained separately within the
escrow
Page 3
account. An independent record will be created which will document the activity
for each Exhibit B. The processing of all deposit updates shall be in accordance
with Sections 1.2 through 1.6 above. All references in this Agreement to the
Deposit Materials shall include the initial Deposit Materials and any updates.
1.8 REMOVAL OF DEPOSIT MATERIALS. The Deposit Materials may be removed and/or
exchanged only on written instructions signed by Depositor and Preferred
Beneficiary, or as otherwise provided in this Agreement.
ARTICLE 2 CONFIDENTIALITY AND RECORD KEEPING
2.1 CONFIDENTIALITY. DSI shall maintain the Deposit Materials in a secure,
environmentally safe, locked facility, which is accessible only to authorized
representatives of DSI. DSI shall have the obligation to reasonably protect the
confidentiality of the Deposit Materials. Except as provided in this Agreement
or any subsequent agreement between the Parties, DSI shall not disclose,
transfer, make available, or use the Deposit Materials. DSI shall not disclose
the terms of this Agreement to any third party. If DSI receives a subpoena or
any other order from a court or other judicial tribunal pertaining to the
disclosure or release of the Deposit Materials, DSI will immediately notify the
parties to this Agreement unless prohibited by law. It shall be the
responsibility of Depositor and/or Preferred Beneficiary to challenge any such
order, provided, however, that DSI does not waive its rights to present its
position with respect to any such order. DSI will not be required to disobey any
order from a court or other judicial tribunal including, but not limited to,
notices delivered pursuant to Section 7.6 below.
2.2 STATUS REPORTS. DSI will issue to Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary a
report profiling the account history semi-annually.
2.3 Audit Rights. During the term of this Agreement, Depositor and Preferred
Beneficiary shall each have the right to inspect the written records of DSI
pertaining to this Agreement. Any inspection shall be held during normal
business hours and following reasonable prior notice.
ARTICLE 3 - RIGHT TO MAKE COPIES
DSI shall have the right to make copies of the Deposit Materials as reasonably
necessary to perform this Agreement. DSI shall copy all copyright,
nondisclosure, and other proprietary notices and titles contained on the Deposit
Materials onto any copies made by DSI. With all Deposit Materials submitted to
DSI, Depositor shall provide any and all instructions as may be necessary to
duplicate the Deposit Materials including but not limited to the hardware and/or
software needed. Any copying expenses incurred by DSI as a result of a request
to copy will be borne by the party requesting the copies. Alternatively, DSI may
notify Depositor requiring its reasonable cooperation in promptly copying the
Deposit Materials in order for DSI to perform this Agreement.
ARTICLE 4 - RELEASE OF DEPOSIT
4.1 RELEASE CONDITIONS. As used in this Agreement, "Release Condition" shall
mean the occurrence of an event (including any applicable cure periods)
specified under the License Agreement as entitling Preferred Beneficiary to
release of the Deposit Materials.
4.2 FILING FOR RELEASE. If Preferred Beneficiary believes in good faith that
a Release Condition has occurred, Preferred Beneficiary may provide to DSI
written notice of the
Page 4
occurrence of the Release Condition and a request for the release of the Deposit
Materials. Within two (2) business days of receipt of a written notice, DSI
shall provide a copy of the notice to Depositor by commercial express mail. DSI
will promptly notify the Parties unless DSI acknowledges or discovers
independently, or through the Parties, its need for additional documentation or
information in order to comply with this section. Such need for additional
documentation or information may extend the time period for DST's performance
under this section.
4.3 CONTRARY INSTRUCTIONS. From the date Depositor receives the notice
requesting release of the Deposit Materials, Depositor shall have ten (10)
business days to deliver to DSI contrary instructions ("Contrary Instructions").
Contrary Instructions shall mean the written representation by Depositor that a
Release Condition has not occurred or has been cured. Upon receipt of Contrary
Instructions, DSI shall send a copy to Preferred Beneficiary by commercial
express mail. Additionally, DSI shall notify both Depositor and Preferred
Beneficiary that there is a dispute to be resolved pursuant to the Section 7.4.
Subject to Section 5.2 of this Agreement, DSI will continue to store the Deposit
Materials without release pending (a) joint instructions from Depositor and
Preferred Beneficiary; (b) dispute resolution pursuant to Section 7.4; or (c)
order from a court of competent jurisdiction.
4.4 RELEASE OF DEPOSIT. If DSI does not receive Contrary Instructions from
the Depositor, DSI is authorized to release, and shall release, the Deposit
Materials to the Preferred Beneficiary or, if more than one beneficiary is
registered to the deposit, to release a copy of the Deposit Materials to the
Preferred Beneficiary. However, DSI is entitled to receive any fees due DSI
before making the release. Any copying expenses will be chargeable to Preferred
Beneficiary. Upon any such release, the escrow arrangement will terminate as it
relates to the Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary involved in the release.
4.5 RIGHT TO USE FOLLOWING RELEASE. Unless otherwise provided in the License
Agreement, upon release of the Deposit Materials in accordance with this Article
4, Preferred Beneficiary shall have the right to use the Deposit Materials for
the sole purpose of continuing the benefits afforded to Preferred Beneficiary by
the License Agreement. Preferred Beneficiary shall be obligated to maintain the
confidentiality of the released Deposit Materials.
ARTICLE 5 - TERM AND TERMINATION
5.1 TERM OF AGREEMENT. The initial term of this Agreement is for a period of
one (1) year. Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew from
year-to-year unless (a) Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary jointly instruct DSI
in writing that the Agreement is terminated; (b) DSI instructs Depositor and
Preferred Beneficiary in writing within ninety (90) days after its renewal date
that the Agreement is terminated for nonpayment in accordance with Section 5.2;
or (c) DSI provides Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary ninety (90) days written
notice of its intent to terminate this Agreement. If the Deposit Materials are
subject to another escrow agreement with DSI, DSI reserves the right, after the
initial one year term, to adjust the anniversary date of the Agreement to match
the then prevailing anniversary date of such other escrow arrangements.
5.2 TERMINATION FOR NONPAYMENT. In the event of the nonpayment of fees owed
to DSI, DSI shall provide written notice of delinquency to the parties to this
Agreement affected by such delinquency. Any such party shall have the right to
make the payment to DSI to cure the default. If the past due payment is not
received in full by DSI within one (1) month of the date of such notice, then at
any time thereafter DSI shall have the right to terminate this Agreement to the
extent it relates to the delinquent party by sending written notice of
termination to such affected
Page 5
parties. DSI shall have no obligation to take any action under this Agreement so
long as any payment due to DSI remains unpaid.
5.3 DISPOSITION OF DEPOSIT MATERIALS UPON TERMINATION. Subject to the
foregoing termination provisions, and upon termination of this Agreement, DSI
shall destroy, return or otherwise deliver the Deposit Materials in accordance
with Depositor's instructions. If there are no instructions, DSI may, at its
sole discretion, destroy the Deposit Materials or return them to Depositor. DSI
shall have no obligation to destroy or return the Deposit Materials if the
Deposit Materials are subject to another escrow agreement with DSI or have been
released to the Preferred Beneficiary in accordance with Section 4.4.

ARTICLE 7 - LIABILITY AND DISPUTES

instruction, instrument, or signature reasonably believed by DSI to be genuine.

be required to inquire into the truth or evaluate the merit of any statement or
representation contained in any notice or document. DSI shall not be responsible
for failure to act as a result of causes beyond the reasonable control of DSI.

expenses, costs, attorney's fees and other liabilities

harmless DSI from any and all Liabilities incurred by DSI relating
in any way to Preferred Beneficiary's actions, omissions,
instructions or representations in connection with this Agreement,
except to the extent such Liabilities arise out of DSI's grossly

or representations in connection with this Agreement.
(c) DSI agrees to indemnify, defend and hold harmless Depositor and,
if applicable, Preferred Beneficiary against any and all
Liabilities arising from (i) intellectual property infringement

intentional or willful actions, omissions, instructions or
representations of Depositor and/or Preferred Beneficiary, as
applicable; and (ii) a breach of any of the obligations of
confidentiality of DSI.
7.3 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except for claims based on or arising out of
breaches of the obligations set forth in Article 2 or acts of gross negligence,
or personal injury or property damage claims, with respect to which liability
will not be limited pursuant to this Section 7.3, in no event will (a) DSI,
Depositor or Preferred Beneficiary be liable for any incidental, indirect,
special, exemplary, punitive or consequential damages, including, but not
limited to, damages (including loss of data, revenue, and/or profits) costs or
expenses (including legal fees and expenses), whether foreseeable or
unforeseeable, that may arise out of or in connection with this Agreement; and
(b) the liability of each of DSI, Depositor or Preferred Beneficiary hereunder

failing agreement on the selection of the third arbitrator, the American
Arbitration Association shall select the third arbitrator. Unless otherwise
agreed by Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary, arbitration will take place in
Chicago, Illinois. Any court having jurisdiction over the matter may enter
judgment on the award of the arbitrator. Service of a petition to confirm the
arbitration award may be made by First Class mail or by commercial express mail,

accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois, without regard to its
conflict of law provisions.

the arbitrator or any court of competent jurisdiction, which may direct DSI to
take, or refrain from taking any action, that party shall:
Page 7
(a) Give DSI at least two (2) business days prior notice of the
hearing;
(b) Include in any such order that, as a precondition to DSI's
obligation, DSI be paid in full for any past due fees and be paid
for the reasonable value of the services to be rendered pursuant
to such order; and
(c) Ensure that DSI not be required to deliver the original (as
opposed to a copy) of the Deposit Materials if DSI may need to
retain the original in its possession to fulfill any of its other
escrow duties.
ARTICLE 8 GENERAL PROVISIONS
8.1 ENTIRE AGREEMENT. This Agreement, which includes the Acceptance Form and
Exhibits A, B, C, D and E described herein, embodies the entire understanding
among all of the parties with respect to its subject matter and supersedes all
previous communications, representations or understandings, either oral or
written. DSI is not a party to the License Agreement between Depositor and
Preferred Beneficiary and has no knowledge of any of the terms or provisions of
any such License Agreement. DSI's only obligations to Depositor or Preferred
Beneficiary are as set forth in this Agreement. No amendment or modification of
this Agreement shall be valid or binding unless signed by all the parties
hereto, except that Exhibit A need not be signed by DSI, Exhibit B need not be
signed by Preferred Beneficiary, Exhibit C need not be signed by any party,
Exhibit D need not be signed by Preferred Beneficiary or DSI and the Acceptance
Form need only be signed by the parties identified therein.
8.2 NOTICES. All notices, invoices, payments, deposits and other documents
and communications shall be given to the parties at the addresses specified in
the attached Exhibit C and Acceptance Form. It shall be the responsibility of
the parties to notify each other as provided in this Section in the event of a
change of address. The parties shall have the right to rely on the last known
address of the other parties. Any correctly addressed notice or last known
address of the other parties that is relied on herein that is refused,
unclaimed, or undeliverable because of an act or omission of the party to be
notified as provided herein shall be deemed effective as of the first date that
said notice was refused, unclaimed, or deemed undeliverable by the postal
authorities by mail, through messenger or commercial express delivery services.
Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, all documents and communications
may be delivered by First Class mail.
8.3 SEVERABILITY. In the event any provision of this Agreement is found to be
invalid, voidable or unenforceable, the parties agree that unless it materially
affects the entire intent and purpose of this Agreement, such invalidity,
voidability or unenforceability shall affect neither the validity of this
Agreement nor the remaining provisions herein, and the provision in question
shall be deemed to be replaced with a valid and enforceable provision most
closely reflecting the intent and purpose of the original provision.
8.4 SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS. This Agreement shall be binding upon and shall
inure to the benefit of the successors and assigns of the parties. However, DSI
shall have no obligation in performing this Agreement to recognize any successor
or assign of Depositor or Preferred Beneficiary unless DSI receives clear,
authoritative and conclusive written evidence of the change of parties.
8.5 WAIVER. Any term of this Agreement may be waived by the party entitled
to the benefits thereof, provided that any such waiver must be in writing and
signed by the party against whom the enforcement of the waiver is sought. No
waiver of any condition, or breach of any provision of this
Page 8
Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be a further or
continuing waiver of such condition or breach. Delay or failure to exercise any
right or remedy shall not be deemed the waiver of that right or remedy.
8.6 REGULATIONS Depositor and Preferred Beneficiary are responsible for and
warrant compliance with all applicable laws, rules and regulations, including
but not limited to customs laws, import, export, and re-export laws and
government regulations of any country from or to which the Deposit Materials may
be delivered in accordance with the provisions of this Agreement.
8.7 ATTORNEY'S FEES. In any litigation or other proceeding by which one party
either seeks to enforce its rights under this Agreement (whether in contract,
tort, or both) or seeks declaration of any rights or obligations under this
Agreement, the prevailing party who has proven in court by court decree,
judgment or arbitrator's decision that the other party has materially breached
its representation and/or warranty under this Agreement shall be awarded
reasonable attorneys' fees, together with any costs and expenses, to resolve the
dispute and to enforce final judgement.
8.8 NO THIRD PARTY RIGHTS. This Agreement is made solely for the benefit of
the Parties to this Agreement and their respective permitted successors and
assigns, and no other person or entity shall have or acquire any right by virtue
of this Agreement unless otherwise agreed to by all the parties hereto.
8.9 AUTHORITY TO SIGN. Each of the Parties herein represents and warrants
that the execution, delivery, and performance of this Agreement has been duly
authorized and signed by a person who meets statutory or other binding approval
to sign on behalf of its business organization as named in this Agreement.
8.10 COUNTERPARTS. This Agreement may be executed in any number of
counterparts, each of which shall be an original, but all of which together
shall constitute one instrument.
