3.2. AUDIT. Licensee agrees, and Licensee will ensure that Resellers agree, to
maintain complete and accurate accounting records, in accordance with generally
accepted accounting practices, to support and document all fees payable in
connection with this Agreement for three (3) years after the fees relating to
such records have been accrued and paid. Licensee agrees, and Licensee will
ensure that Resellers agree, to allow BEA or an independent auditor to audit its
and Resellers' records to determine compliance or noncompliance with this
Agreement. BEA will give Licensee, or Reseller, as applicable, ten (10) or more
days prior written notice, and will conduct the audit during regular business
hours. If the auditor determines that Licensee or any Reseller is not in
material compliance with this Agreement, Licensee or such Reseller shall
promptly remedy any such non-compliance and will bear the expenses of the audit.
3.3. TAXES. Licensee shall be responsible for any sales or use or other taxes
(other than taxes based on BEA's net income) to the extent that any such taxes
may arise in connection with this Agreement.
4. WARRANTIES AND SUPPORT.
4.1. LIMITED WARRANTY. BEA warrants that for a period of ninety (90) days
following delivery to Licensee, the BEA Software will perform substantially in
accordance with the accompanying BEA documentation. BEA does not warrant that
the BEA Software will be error-free or will operate without interruption.
Licensee's exclusive remedy for breach of the warranty contained in this Section
4.1 shall be, at BEA's discretion, the correction of any such failure to
perform, or refund of the license fee paid by Licensee with respect to such
non-conforming BEA Software.
4.2. BEA WARRANTY DISCLAIMER. THE FOREGOING LIMITED WARRANTY IS EXCLUSIVE AND IN
LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF
NONINFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. BEA shall
have no liability with respect to claims relating to or arising from the use of
non-BEA products or services, even if BEA recommended, referred or introduced
Licensee to such products or services.
4.3. LICENSEE'S SUPPORT TO END USERS. Licensee will be responsible for providing
First Line Support (as defined herein) to each End User to which it licenses a
Value Added Solution and to Resellers. "First Line Support" includes (i)
notifying BEA's support organization immediately by phone if an End User has a
Severity 1 Production Down (as that term is defined in the Support Services
Exhibit attached hereto) support case, (ii) providing software installation and
ongoing "how to" support to its End Users, and (iii) diagnosing problems that
require maintenance. First Line Support is described in more detail in the First
Line Support Exhibit attached hereto. Licensee represents that its staff is
trained to provide First Line Support. BEA reserves the right to require
Licensee's staff to seek additional training if, in BEA's opinion, Licensee is
not providing adequate First Line Support.
4.4. BEA'S SUPPORT TO LICENSEE. For one (1) year from the Effective Date,
provided that Licensee pays the annual Support Fees shown on the Pricing
Schedule, BEA will provide annual Support Services to the two (2) Support
Contacts named on the Pricing Schedule at the Support Level (as that term is
defined in the Support Services Exhibit attached hereto) indicated on the
Pricing Schedule. "Support Services" are described in the Support Services
Exhibit attached hereto. For the purposes of defining Support Services, the term
"Customer" in the Support Services Exhibit shall apply to Licensee. Licensee may
renew Annual Support Services at the then-current fees and policies provided
that Licensee notifies BEA in the Utilization Report provided by Licensee in the
quarter prior to the expiration of an annual support term of its desire to renew
Support Services for the following year. Expiration or termination of this
Agreement shall not preclude Licensee from renewing annual Support Services in
accordance with BEA's then-current fees and policies.
5. INDEMNIFICATION.
5.1. BEA INDEMNITY. BEA shall indemnify, defend and hold Licensee harmless from
and against any claim that the BEA Software as used within the scope of this
Agreement infringes the copyright, trademark, trade secret or United States
patent issued as of the Effective Date of any third party, provided that (i)
Licensee notifies BEA promptly in writing of the claim; (ii) BEA has sole
control of the defense and all related settlement negotiations; and (iii)
Licensee provides BEA with all necessary assistance, information, and authority
to perform the above.
5.2. EXCLUSIONS. BEA shall have no liability for any claim of infringement based
on (i) use of other than the latest commercially available version of the BEA
Software provided by BEA to Licensee, to the extent the infringement would have
been avoided by use of such version; (ii) modification of the BEA Software by
Licensee to the extent the infringement would have been avoided without such
modification; or (iii) the combination or use of the BEA Software with materials
not furnished by BEA to the extent such infringement would have been avoided by
use of the BEA Software alone.
4
5.3. ALTERNATIVES. In the event the BEA Software is held to, or BEA believes is
likely to be held to, infringe any third party copyright, trademark, trade
secret or United States patent issued as of the Effective Date, BEA shall have
the right at its sole option and expense to (i) substitute or modify the BEA
Software so that it is non-infringing, while retaining equivalent features and
functionality; or (ii) obtain for Licensee a license to continue using the BEA
Software under commercially reasonable terms; or (iii) if (i) and (ii) are not
reasonably practicable, terminate this Agreement as to the infringing BEA
Software and return to Licensee any license fees paid by Licensee hereunder with
respect thereto, amortized over a period of three years, which period the
parties agree represents the useful life of the BEA Software.
5.4. SOLE OBLIGATION. The foregoing states the sole obligation and exclusive
liability of BEA, and Licensee's sole recourse and remedy, for any infringement
or claim of infringement by the BEA Software.
5.5. LICENSEE INDEMNITY. Licensee agrees to indemnify, defend and hold BEA
harmless from and against any costs, losses, liabilities, claims or expenses
(including attorneys' fees) arising out of: (i) any claim that any Value Added
Solution infringes on the intellectual property or proprietary rights of any
third party, except to the extent such infringement is caused solely by the BEA
Software; or (ii) the distribution of any Value Added Solution by Licensee or
any third party; or (iii) the use of any Value Added Solution by any End User or
third party.
6. TERM AND TERMINATION. This Agreement shall become effective on the Effective
Date and remain in effect until the Expiration Date unless earlier terminated as
provided below. Either party may terminate this Agreement for cause upon thirty
days written notice to the other party provided that the breaching party does
not cure within such thirty (30) day period. Cause for termination shall include
but not be limited to breach of a material obligation, bankruptcy or insolvency,
or failure to pay. Upon termination of this Agreement, all licenses granted to
Licensee pursuant to this Agreement shall automatically terminate. The foregoing
notwithstanding, any Development Use licenses or Internal Production Use
licenses to the BEA Software granted to Licensee under this Agreement shall
remain in effect so long as such licenses are used in accordance with the
respective license grant contained herein. Furthermore, any licenses to the
Value Added Solution properly granted to an End User under this Agreement shall
remain in effect so long as such licenses are used in accordance with the
respective license grant contained in the End User Agreement. This Section 6 and
the Definitions, Audit, BEA Warranty Disclaimer, Confidentiality, Limitation of
Liability, Consequential Damages Waiver, and Miscellaneous Sections and any
outstanding obligations to submit any reports or pay any fees shall survive
termination or expiration of this Agreement. Annual Support Services may be
separately renewed according to BEA's then current fees and policies.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement,
Licensee will hold all BEA Software in strict confidence. BEA and Licensee will
hold in strict confidence the terms of this Agreement and any other information
provided by one party to the other under this Agreement and identified as
confidential or defined herein as Confidential Information. Utilization Reports
shall be considered Confidential Information. A party's Confidential Information
shall not include information that: (i) is or becomes a part of the public
domain through no act or omission of the other party; (ii) was in the other
party's lawful possession prior to the disclosure and had not been obtained by
the other party either directly or indirectly from the disclosing party; (iii)
is lawfully disclosed to the other party by a third party without restriction on
disclosure; or (iv) is independently developed by the other party.
8. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. BEA's entire liability to Licensee for damages in
any way relating to this Agreement, regardless of the cause of action, shall not
exceed two (2) times the amounts received by BEA under this Agreement.
9. CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES WAIVER. EXCEPT FOR LICENSEE'S BREACH OF SECTION 2 OR
SECTION 7, IN NO EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER PARTY FOR ANY
INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, PUNITIVE OR SPECIAL DAMAGES, LOST PROFITS OR LOST
DATA, OR ANY OTHER INDIRECT DAMAGES, EVEN IF THAT PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
10. MISCELLANEOUS. BEA and Licensee are independent contractors. Licensee may
not assign this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise, without the prior
written consent of BEA, which shall not be unreasonably withheld. All notices
between the parties shall be in writing and shall be sent by personal delivery
or certified or registered mail (return receipt) to the "Address for Notices"
indicated on the signature page of this Agreement. The laws of the State of
California, other than choice of law rules, will govern this Agreement. Any
dispute regarding this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the Santa Xxxxx County, California state or federal courts. Licensee agrees
that the BEA Software is the valuable, proprietary and confidential property of
BEA, and that any unauthorized use or disclosure of the BEA Software would cause
BEA irreparable injury for which it would have no adequate remedy at law, and
that BEA will be entitled to seek preliminary and other injunctive relief
against any such unauthorized use or disclosure, in addition to any other
remedies or rights that BEA might have. Licensee may not download, export or
re-export the BEA Software except in compliance with all applicable laws and
5
regulations, including United States export control restrictions. It is
Licensee's responsibility to comply with such restrictions as they may be
amended from time to time. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
illegal, unenforceable or void, then each other provision will remain in effect.
No failure of either party to enforce any provision of this Agreement shall be
construed as a waiver of that or any other provision. This Agreement sets forth
the entire agreement between the parties on the subject matter hereof and
supersedes all prior and contemporaneous proposals, agreements and
representations between them, whether written or oral. This Agreement supersedes
any conflicting terms in any purchase order or other document submitted by
Licensee, whether or not formally rejected by BEA. This Agreement may be changed
only in a writing signed by both parties. Neither party shall be liable for any
delay or failure in performance, except for failure to pay fees, due to causes
beyond its reasonable control.

SUPPORT SERVICES EXHIBIT (CONTINUED)
SUPPORT SERVICES EXHIBIT
1. DEFINITIONS.
"ERROR" means a failure of the BEA Software to conform to the specifications set
forth in the Documentation, resulting in the inability to use, or material
restriction in the use of, the Software.
"MAINTENANCE RELEASE" means a subsequent version of the Licensed Software that
includes Updates and/or Upgrades.
"UPDATE" means either a software modification or addition that, when made or
added to the BEA Software, corrects the Error, or a procedure or routine that,
when observed in the regular operation of the BEA Software, eliminates the
practical adverse effect of the Error on Customer.
"UPGRADE" means a revision of the BEA Software released by BEA to its end user
customers generally, during the Support Services Term, to add new and different
functions or to increase the capacity of the Software. Upgrade does not include
the release of a new product or added features for which there may be a separate
charge.
2. BEA CUSTOMER SUPPORT SERVICES. To obtain Support Services for Software,
Customer selects one (1) of the following four (4) levels of tiered Support
Services on the Pricing Schedule, all of which include Maintenance Releases and
Upgrades: (a) BEA Operations Support (5x8); (b) BEA Enterprise Support (5x12);
(c) BEA Extended Operations Support (7x24); or (d) BEA Mission Critical Support
(7x24). A more detailed description may be found at
(xxxx://xxx.xxx.xxx/xxxxxxx/xxxxxxxx.xxxx).
3. UPDATES. BEA will make commercially reasonable efforts to provide an Update
designed to solve or by-pass a reported Error. If such Error has been corrected
in a Maintenance Release, Customer must install and implement the applicable
Maintenance Release; otherwise, the Update may be provided in the form of a
temporary fix, procedure or routine, to be used until a Maintenance Release
containing the permanent Update is available. Customer shall reasonably
determine the priority level of Errors, pursuant to the following protocols:
a. Severity 1 Errors: BEA promptly initiates the following procedures:
(1) assigns specialists to correct the Error on an expedited basis; (2)
provides ongoing communication on the status of an Update; and (3)
begins to provide a temporary workaround or fix. A Severity One
Production Error means the (i) production system is severely impacted or
completely shut down, or (ii) system operations or mission-critical
applications are down. A "Severity One Development Error" means (i) an
application is in final testing, facing a critical time frame of going
into Production Use or (ii) entire development efforts are blocked.
b. Severity 2 Errors: BEA assigns a BEA specialist to begin an Update,
and provides additional, escalated procedures as reasonably determined
necessary by BEA Support Services staff. BEA exercises commercially
reasonable efforts to provide a workaround or include a fix for the
Severity 2 Errors in the next Maintenance Release. A "Severity Two
Production Error" means (i) the production system is functioning with
limited capabilities, or (ii) is unstable with periodic interruptions,
or (iii) mission critical applications, while not being affected, have
experienced system interruptions. A "Severity Two Development Error"
means (i) there is a time sensitive question impacting performance or
deliverables, or (ii) a major subsystem under development is blocked.
c. Severity 3 Errors: BEA may include an Update in the next Maintenance
Release. A "Severity Three Production Error" means there (i) are errors
in fully operational production systems, (ii) is a need to clarify
procedures or information in documentation, or (iii) is a request for a
product enhancement. A "Severity Three Development Error" means (i)
there are errors in system development that may impact performance
deliverables, (ii) a need to clarify procedures or information in
documentation, or (iii) a request for product enhancement.
5. MAINTENANCE RELEASES AND UPGRADES. During the Support Services Term, BEA
shall make the Maintenance Releases available to Customer if, as and when BEA
makes any such Maintenance Release generally available to its customers. If a
question arises as to whether a product offering is an Upgrade or a new product
or feature, BEA's opinion will prevail, provided that BEA treats the product
offering as a new product or feature for its end user customers generally.
6. CONDITIONS FOR PROVIDING SUPPORT. BEA's obligation to provide Support
Services is conditioned upon the following: (a) Customer makes reasonable
efforts to solve the problem after consulting with BEA; (b) Customer provides
BEA with sufficient information and resources to correct the problem either at
BEA's Customer Support Center or via dial-up access at Customer's site, as well
as access to the personnel, hardware, and any additional software involved in
discovering the problem; (c) Customer promptly installs all Maintenance
Releases; or (d) Customer procures, installs and maintains all equipment,
telephone lines, communication interfaces and other hardware necessary to
operate the BEA Software.
7. TECHNICAL SUPPORT CONTACTS: The BEA Customer Support Center will provide
telephone support to the two (2) contacts named on the Pricing Schedule.
Technical Support Contacts will develop or support the BEA Software. They should
be the only interface to the BEA Customer Support Center. In an emergency, a BEA
Customer Support Engineer will begin working on a problem for an unauthorized
contact on an exception basis subject to later verification and involvement of a
named Technical Support Contact. Additional Technical Support Contacts may be
available to Customer for an additional fee.
8. EXCLUSIONS FROM BEA'S SUPPORT SERVICES. BEA is not obligated to provide
Support Services in the following situations: (a) the Software has been changed,
modified or damaged (except if under the direct supervision of BEA); (b) the
problem is caused by Customer's negligence, hardware malfunction or other causes
beyond the reasonable control of BEA; (c) the problem is with third party
software not licensed through BEA; (d) Customer has not installed and
implemented Maintenance Release(s) so that the BEA Software is a version support
by BEA; or (e) Customer has not paid the Support Services fees when due.
9. TERMINATION OF SUPPORT SERVICES. BEA reserves the right to discontinue the
Support Services should BEA, in its sole discretion, determine that continued
support for any Software is no longer economically practicable. BEA will give
Customer at least six (6) months prior written notice of any such discontinuance
of Support Services and will refund any unaccrued Support Services fees Customer
may have prepaid with respect to the affected Software. BEA shall have no
obligation to support or maintain any version of the BEA Software or operating
system except (i) the then current version of the BEA Software and operating
system, and (ii) the immediately preceding version of the BEA Software and
operating system for a period of six (6) months after it is first superseded, or
(iii) if the fees Customer owes to BEA remain unpaid for more than sixty (60)
days from the invoice date.

provided that:
- "Net Revenue" means the gross revenue generated from Licensee's sales or
licensing of the Value Added Solution, less taxes, shipping, insurance and
trade discounts. Except as provided below, for the purpose of calculating Net
Revenue, if Licensee's trade discounts exceed 50% of the list price of the
Value Added Solution the Net Revenue will be calculated by applying a fifty
percent (50%) trade discount. The 50% discount restriction will be applied to
the local list price in the country in which it is sold. If Licensee enters
into an enterprise wide agreement with an End User where the total list price
of Value Added Solutions sold equals or exceeds one million dollars
($1,000,000), then the trade discount cap set forth above may be increased up
to seventy percent (70%). BEA also agrees to work with Licensee on large
sales opportunities that may require the negotiation of special terms between
BEA and Licensee; and
- If the Value Added Solution is provided with other Licensee products, all
trade discounts are apportioned pro-rata to the Value Added Solution, i.e.,
the ratio of Net Revenue to the total net revenue in the transaction is the
same as the ratio of the list price of the Value Added Solution to the total
list revenue in the transaction.
Evaluation Licenses: Licensee will not be required to pay BEA a license
fee for evaluation copies of the Value-Added Solution that Licensee provides to
its End Users and Resellers.
