accordance with the terms and conditions hereof, on an as-needed
basis. Reseller will purchase the Products pursuant to a purchase
order in a form reasonably acceptable to Vendor. Reseller will pay
Vendor a Per Copy License Fee equal to eighty-two percent (82%) of
the price set forth in Price List Schedule attached hereto as
Exhibit B, for each copy of a Product delivered to an End User by
Reseller, provided, however, that no fee shall be due for Authorized
Product Returns. Vendor may change, amend, remove or modify the
Products on the Price List and/or the price set forth for any
Product in its sole discretion, upon thirty (30) days prior written
notice to Reseller. However, in the event the parties agree to
adjust the prices on the Price List upon less than 30 days notice to
Reseller, Vendor shall credit Reseller on the purchase order
immediately preceding the price adjustment. Reseller shall collect
all moneys due for sales conducted on the Managed Site and shall
solely bear the risk of collection, except as otherwise set forth in
the Web Site Services Agreement. In addition to the Per Copy License
Fee payable pursuant to Section 10(a) above, Reseller shall pay
Vendor a monthly Promotional Fee equal to six percent (6%) of Gross
Sales from the Managed Site. Gross Sales shall mean total moneys
received by Reseller from Product sales on the Managed Site less End
User Product returns, shipping charges paid by End User (except to
the extent that such charges exceed the actual costs of shipping by
30 percent which excess shall be deemed part of Gross Revenues), and
sales tax.
b) PAYMENT AND REPORTS. Within ten (10) days after the end of each
month, Reseller shall provide Vendor with a written report
specifying the number of copies of Products that Reseller has
shipped during the immediately prior month and the calculation of
the Promotional Fee payable pursuant to Section 10(a) above together
with payment therefor. The Per Copy License Fee shall be due net
thirty (30) days from invoice by Vendor.
c) TAXES. The Per Copy License Fee shall be exclusive of any tax,
withholding tax, levy or similar government charge that may be
assessed. Such taxes, withholding taxes, levies, and governmental
charges include taxes based on sales, use, excise, import or export
values, value-added, income revenue, net worth, or may be the
result of delivery, possession or use of the Software ("Taxes").
Reseller agrees to pay all such Taxes that become due based on
Reseller reselling the Products. Should any such Taxes be or become
due, Reseller agrees to pay such Taxes and indemnify Vendor for a
claim against Vendor by any taxing authority for Taxes arising in
connection with this Agreement other than Taxes on Vendor's income.
Reseller shall make no deduction from any amounts owed to Vendor
for any Taxes. Reseller agrees to provide Vendor with appropriate
information and/or documentation satisfactory to the applicable
taxing authorities to substantiate any claim of exemption from any
Taxes. If Reseller claims any exemption from Taxes, Reseller shall
provide Vendor with a valid certificate evidencing such exemption.
Reseller will pay, or require its End User customers to pay, all
federal, state and local taxes designated, levied, or based upon
the resale of Products by Reseller. Reseller will collect and remit
to the appropriate authorities all federal, state and local taxes
designated, levied, or based upon the resale of Products by
Reseller as required by applicable law, and shall indemnify Vendor
against all Taxes that arise with respect to the resale of the
Software to End Users.

days after the end of each month, a report for the immediately prior
month showing (i) the name and address of each End User that

of the Product purchased by the End User. The format of this
information shall be mutually agreed to by the parties.
e) BOOK AND RECORDS. Reseller agrees to maintain adequate books and
records relating to the distribution of Products to End User
Customers. Such books and records shall be available at their place
of keeping for inspection by Vendor or its representative, for the
purpose of determining whether the correct fees have been paid to
Vendor in accordance with the terms of this Agreement, and whether
Reseller has otherwise complied with the terms of this Agreement.
Vendor shall have the right to conduct such an audit upon ten (10)
days advance notice twice each year. In the event that such an audit
discloses an underpayment of more than five percent (5%), then
Reseller shall pay the costs of such audit.
11. CONFIDENTIALITY.
Each party agrees that all binary code, inventions, algorithms,
know-how and ideas it obtains from the other and all other business,
technical and financial information it obtains from the other are the
confidential property of the disclosing party ("Confidential
Information"), if conspicuously labeled as "proprietary" or
"confidential" or some similar designation or, if disclosed orally or
visually, is confirmed in writing labeled as "proprietary" or
"confidential" or some similar designation within thirty (30) days of
such oral or visual disclosure. All binary code (including, but not
limited to the Software), binary documentation and underlying
inventions, algorithms, know-how and ideas are hereby identified as
Vendor's Confidential Information. Except as expressly and
unambiguously allowed herein, the receiving party will hold in
confidence and not use or disclose any Confidential Information and
shall similarly bind its employees and contractors in writing. The
receiving party shall not be obligated under this Section 11 with
respect to information the receiving party can document; (1) is or
has become readily publicly available with restriction through no
fault of the receiving party or its employees or agents; or (2) is
received without restriction from a third party lawfully in
possession of such information and lawfully empowered to disclose
such information; or (3) was rightfully in the possession of the
receiving party without restriction prior to its disclosure by the
disclosing party; or (4) is independently developed by the receiving
party by employees without access to the other party's similar
Confidential Information; or (5) is required by law or order of a
court, administrative agency or other governmental body to be
disclosed by the receiving party. The parties obligations with
respect to Confidential Information (other than with respect to any
source code as to which the obligations shall continue for twenty
(20) years) shall continue for the shorter of three (3) years from
the date of termination of this Agreement or until one of the above
enumerated conditions becomes applicable. Each party acknowledges
that its breach of this Section 11 would cause irreparable injury to
the other for which monetary damages are not an adequate remedy.
Accordingly, a party will be entitled to injunctions and other
equitable remedies in the event of such breach by the other.
12. VENDORS TRADEMARKS.

Vendor Trademarks are the sole and exclusive property of Vendor or

xxxx in connection with any of the Vendor Trademarks without prior

a) BY VENDOR. Vendor will defend, indemnify and hold Reseller harmless
from and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and

infringement of any US patent, US copyright, US trademark, US service
xxxx, trade secret, or other US proprietary rights based upon the
duplication, sale, license, or use of the Software or Documentation
by Reseller in accordance with this Agreement, provided that Reseller
promptly notifies Vendor in writing of the claim and allows Vendor to
control, and fully cooperates with Vendor in, the defense and all
related settlement negotiations. Vendor shall have no liability for
any settlement or compromise made without its consent. Upon notice of
an alleged infringement, or if in the Vendor's opinion such a claim
is likely, Vendor shall have the right, at its option, to obtain the
right for Reseller to continue to exercise the rights granted under
this Agreement, substitute other software with similar operating
capabilities, or modify the Software so that it is no longer
infringing. In the event that none of the above options are
reasonably available, in Vendor's sole opinion, Vendor may terminate
this Agreement.
b) BY RESELLER. Reseller shall indemnify and hold Vendor harmless from
and against any and all liabilities, losses, damages, costs and
expenses (including legal fees and expenses) associated with any
claim or action brought against Vendor that may arise from Reseller's
