parties under agreements which do not permit the provision to Licensee of a
source code form of such portions of the Red Brick Formation Licensed Materials.
Red Brick's obligation to provide source code for the Red Brick Formation
Licensed Materials also will not apply to portions of the Red Brick Formation
Licensed Materials which are derived from Red Brick Warehouse Products which
existed before Red Brick's acquisition of the Database Technology from Licensee,
do not incorporate, in whole or in part, any of the Database Technology, and
whose absence shall not reduce the functionality of the Red Brick Formation
Licensed Materials or Database Technology below the performance level of such
materials at August 29, 1997, notwithstanding minor software defects which may
have existed as of August 29, 1997.
1.2 Delivery of Database Technology.

terminate automatically upon the [**] anniversary of the Start Date; provided
that if the last Update provided by Red Brick to Licensee during such [**]
period was made generally available to customers more than [**], then Red Brick
shall provide Licensee with the next Update, at such time as such Update is made
available to customers, at no charge (the period through the later of such
Update or [**] after the Start Date is the "[**] Period"). All Updates provided
by Red Brick to Licensee pursuant to this Section 1.3 shall be deemed part of
the "Licensed Software" for purposes of this Agreement.
Red Brick's obligation to provide source code for the Updates will not
apply for portions, but only such portions, of the Updates which are licensed to
Red Brick by third parties under agreements which do not permit the provision to
Licensee of a source code form of such portions of the Updates. Red Brick's
obligation to provide source code for the Updates also will not apply to
portions of the Updates which are derived from Red Brick Warehouse Products
which existed before Red Brick's acquisition of the Database Technology from

1.4 Development of Additional Features for Red Brick Formation.
----------------------------------------------------------
Red Brick will use commercially reasonable efforts to develop and deliver
to Licensee a modified version of the Red Brick Formation Licensed Materials by
[**] (the "Modified Red Brick Formation Licensed Materials"). The Modified Red
Brick Formation Licensed Materials will include the features set forth in
Exhibit 4 attached hereto. Red Brick will began work on the Modified Red Brick
Formation Licensed Materials [**] of the signing of this Agreement. Thereafter,
until the Modified Red Brick Formation Licensed Materials are delivered to
Licensee, Red Brick will provide Licensee on a weekly basis with a copy of the
high level project plan for the completion of the Modified Red Brick Formation
Licensed Materials and weekly status against the plan. Failure by Red Brick to
deliver the Modified Red Brick Formation Licensed Materials to Licensee by [**]
shall result in Red Brick being required to make the payments specified below in
compensation of the damages to Licensee for such delay in delivery. Upon the
end [**], if Red Brick has failed to make delivery of the Modified Red Brick
Formation Licensed Materials by such date, Red Brick shall pay to Licensee the
sum of [**]. As an example, if Red Brick delivers the Modified Red Brick
Formation Licensed Materials on [**],Red Brick would be obligated to pay

Licensed Materials [**].
If Red Brick is not able, through commercially reasonable efforts, to
obtain the third party licenses and rights to the software necessary to develop
and include in the Modified Red Brick Formation Licensed Materials the features
set forth in Exhibit 4, then Licensee will use commercially reasonable efforts
to obtain such rights on behalf of Red Brick and/or to grant such rights to Red
Brick. If neither Red Brick or Licensee is able to obtain such licenses and
rights for Red Brick's benefit in developing and implementing the features set
forth in Exhibit 4, then Red Brick will not be required to implement the
features, but only such features, in the Modified Red Brick Formation Licensed
Materials, for which the parties are not able to obtain the necessary third
party licenses and rights.
If Red Brick chooses not to market a specific database adapter set forth in
Exhibit 4 and as such does not obtain the third party licenses and rights to the
software necessary to market such adapter, then, in the event Licensee desires
that the Modified Red Brick Formation Licensed Materials contain such adapter,
Licensee will use commercially reasonable efforts to obtain such rights on
behalf of Red Brick and/or to grant such rights to Red Brick. If Licensee is
not able to obtain such licenses and rights for Red Brick's benefit in including
a specific database adapter set forth in Exhibit 4, then Red Brick will not be
required to implement the specific adapter, but only such adapter, in the
Modified Red Brick Formation Licensed Materials, for which the Licensee is not
able to obtain the necessary third party licenses and rights.
1.5 Delivery of Modified Red Brick Formation Licensed Materials.

--------------------
Notwithstanding anything else in this Agreement, this Agreement does not
include a grant to Licensee of any ownership right, title or other interest, in
any of Red Brick's Rights (as defined in Section 3.2) relating to the Licensed

authorized resellers ("Resellers") to use and distribute the Licensed Software
only as provided in Section 2.1 provided that each such Reseller shall be bound
by written agreement with Licensee that (a) protects the confidentiality of' and
Red Brick's rights in, the Licensed Software to the same extent as provided
under this Agreement, and prevents the Reseller from disassembling, decompiling
or otherwise reverse engineering the Licensed Software or, except as expressly
provided in this Agreement, otherwise attempting to learn source code,
structure, or algorithms underlying the Licensed Software (except to the extent
that such prohibitions are limited by law in certain jurisdictions, in which
case the affected prohibitions shall be included in such jurisdictions in as
restrictive and protective a form as they are allowed, with unaffected
prohibitions remaining unchanged); and (b) limits the liability of Red Brick to
the same extent as provided under the terms of this Agreement. Licensee shall

2.5 Fees.
----
2.5.1 Obligation to Pay Royalty Fees. During the [**] Period and
------------------------------
thereafter, Licensee may sublicense the Licensed Software in accordance with the
terms of this Agreement and incur [**] payment obligation to Red Brick; provided
that Licensee does not sublicense or otherwise provide its customers any Update
provided to Licensee by Red Brick after the [**] Period. No later than thirty
(30) days prior to the release of the first Update after the [**] Period,
Licensee shall notify Red Brick in writing whether it elects to continue to
receive Updates. In the event Licensee elects not to receive subsequent

Updates and Licensee shall have no obligation to pay Red Brick Royalty Fees. In
the event Licensee elects to continue to receive Updates and provided that
Licensee is in good standing under this Agreement: (a) Red Brick shall continue
to provide Licensee with Updates at the same time Red Brick makes such Updates
available to its customers, provided Licensee is current in the payment of all
Royalty Fees and is in good standing under this Agreement; and (b) Licensee
shall be obligated to pay Red Brick the Royalty Fees solely with respect to
revenue recognized from the Application Suite Components incorporating Updates
received after the [**] Period and distributed to its customers in accordance
with the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit 3 and the terms of this Agreement.
The parties hereto agree that revenue received by Licensee from the entire
Application Suite shall be fairly allocated between (i) the Application Suite
Components and (ii) those components of the Application Suite which do not
incorporate Updates of the Licensed Software received after the [**] Period,
such allocation to be based on the relative value of such Application Suite
Components and such other components to the End Users.
2.5.1.1 Licensee's Option to Terminate Obligation to Pay Royalty
--------------------------------------------------------
Fees. At any time during the term of this Agreement when Licensee has an
----
obligation to pay Red Brick Royalty Fees in accordance with Section 2.5.1,
Licensee may elect upon sixty (60) days prior written notice to Red Brick to
terminate its obligation to pay Royalty Fees; provided that Licensee shall
continue to pay Red Brick Royalty Fees for a period of [**] hereafter solely
with respect to revenue recognized from the Application Suite Components
incorporating Updates received by Licensee after the [**] Period and distributed
to its customers in accordance with the fee schedule set forth in Exhibit 3.
Upon receipt of such notice, Red Brick shall have no obligation to provide
Licensee with subsequent Updates. The parties may agree under a separate
maintenance agreement to be negotiated by Red Brick and Licensee for Red Brick
to maintain the Licensed Software specifically for Licensee under terms to be
negotiated. Nothing in this Section 2.5.1.1 shall restrain Red Brick's ability
in any way to continue
7
with its own development efforts with respect to the Licensed Software or any
other Red Brick products.
2.5.2 Pass-Through Royalty Fees. During the entire term of this
-------------------------
Agreement, Licensee shall pay Red Brick an amount equal to the actual variable,
incremental cost paid by Red Brick that is fairly allocated to Licensee's
exercise of its rights hereunder with respect to third-party technology embedded
in the Licensed Software and Updates incorporated into any Application Suite
licensed or otherwise distributed by Licensee ("Pass-Through Royalty Fees").
Each quarter during the term of this Agreement, within fifteen (15) days after
the end of the quarter, Red Brick shall provide Licensee an invoice and report
documenting such costs incurred by Red Brick during the quarter, and a full and
accurate accounting thereof.
2.5.3 Royalty Fee Reports. Each quarter during the term of this Agreement
-------------------
when Licensee has an obligation to pay Royalty Fees, within fifteen (15) days
after the end of the quarter, Licensee shall submit a report to Red Brick
describing any Royalty Fee payments made or due; number of copies of the
Application Suite shipped; the shipment date; and the end user name, address,
hardware, and operating system; as well as any information necessary or useful
for calculating/verifying all Fees due. Any Royalty Fee amounts due based on
Licensee activity or revenue in such quarter will be paid at the same time.
2.5.4 Payment Terms and Compliance. All payments of Fees shall be made
----------------------------
inside the U.S., in U.S. dollars net thirty (30) days from receipt of invoice;
provided, however, Royalty Fees shall be due and payable upon submission of each
quarterly Report as required pursuant to Section 2.5.3. Any payments more than
thirty (30) days overdue will bear a late payment fee of 1.5% per month, or, if
lower, the maximum rate allowed by law. Licensee shall at all times keep and
maintain complete and accurate records that include at least the following
information: name and address of each end user, number of quantities and date
of purchase. Red Brick may, with no less than five (5) business days' notice,
and at Red Brick's expense, have an independent auditor or accountant audit,
during normal business hours, Licensee's records related to the Licensed
Software and Updates to verify Licensee's compliance with the provisions of this
Agreement. If an audit determines that there is an underpayment of five percent
(5%) or more of any amounts due hereunder, Licensee shall promptly pay the
deficiency and reimburse Red Brick for the cost of the audit.
2.6 Support.
-------
2.6.1 Separate Support Agreement. Within thirty (30) days after the
--------------------------
Effective Date of this Agreement, the parties will execute a separate support
agreement ("Support Agreement") under the terms of which Red Brick shall provide
Licensee with such technical support services for the Licensed Software as the
parties mutually
8
Confidential Materials omitted and filed separately with the
Securities and Exchange Commission. Asterisks denote omissions.
agree at a price mutually agreed to by the parties for an initial period of [**]
from the execution date of such support agreement. In the Support Agreement the
parties will also mutually agree upon the terms and responsibilities between the
parties for all installation, training and consultation, and all other
maintenance and support directly to end users with respect to any Licensed
Software incorporated into the Application Suite.
2.7 Escrow of Source Code. Red Brick agrees that upon the request of a
---------------------
licensee of Licensee or its Resellers (known as an "End User"), which End User
has licensed all or any part of the Licensed Software, Red Brick will allow
Licensee or its Resellers to place into an escrow one (1) copy of the latest
version of the source code of all Licensed Software licensed to such End User,
together with all related programmer documentation, instructions, flow charts
and other materials necessary for a reasonably skilled programmer or analyst to
use the said source code to maintain and modify the Licensed Software licensed
to such End User, without the assistance of other persons or reference to other
persons (the "Source Code Materials"). Red Brick shall promptly supplement said
deposit with Source Code Materials for any new Updates, releases or additional
products licensed to Licensee, and sublicensed by Licensee or its Resellers to
End User during the term of this Agreement. The deposit will be pursuant to the
terms of an agreement (the "Escrow Agreement") among Licensee or its Resellers,
End User and a third party escrow firm of national reputation specializing in
software escrows ("Escrow Agent") and will be in a form mutually acceptable to
such Licensee or its Resellers, End User and Escrow Agent. In the event such an
Escrow Agreement is established, Red Brick hereby grants to the Licensee, its
Resellers and the End User for whose benefit the escrow is established the
license rights to the Licensed Software which are granted pursuant to the Escrow
Agreement.
