any time at its convenience which termination will be effective thirty
(30) days after receipt of notice), and in such case, Vitria's
obligations shall be limited to a payment calculated as follows: Any
amounts due in connection with the provision of the Deliverables and/or
the Services through the effective date of termination, plus (a) the
remaining development fee for the relevant Statements of Work, as fixed
or estimated in such Statements of Work, divided by the total projected
days of work required for the completion of the Deliverables as set
forth in each such Statement of Work, multiplied by the actual days
worked up to the point of termination with respect to each Statement of
Work, Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the preceding
sentence, the amounts due from Vitria to ChiLin for early termination
of a Statement of Work whose costs are based solely on a time and
materials basis shall be calculated as the actual time and material
expended as of the date of such termination. No Acceptance Testing will
be required beyond the date of the written notice of termination.
13.3 Without prejudice to any rights either party may have under this
Agreement or in law, equity or otherwise, either party shall have the
right to terminate this Agreement if the other party defaults in the
performance of any of its obligations or breaches any term, provision,
warranty, or representation under this Agreement and fails to correct
the Default or to commence any and all steps reasonably necessary to
cure such Default within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice
of such default by the non-defaulting party.
13.4 Should either party become the subject of any proceeding under
provincial, state or federal law for due relief of debtors or otherwise
become insolvent or bankrupt or make an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, the other party may, in addition to any other right or
remedy it may have, terminate this Agreement without liability to the
non-defaulting party upon written notice; provided, however, that
neither party shall be deemed in default for delays due to causes
beyond its reasonable control.
13.5 Upon termination of this Agreement, ChiLin shall thereafter cease to
use (i) any Vitria software provided under this Agreement and (ii) any
copies of the Deliverables, and shall delete such Deliverables and
Vitria software from its library, and shall return to Vitria or destroy
all copies of such Deliverables, and shall notify Vitria in writing
that this has been done; provided, however, that notwithstanding the
foregoing, ChiLin shall be entitled to retain a single copy of the
Deliverables and Vitria software for archival, maintenance and support
purposes, and not for enhancement or development.
13.6 The provisions of Sections 9 (Ownership), 10 (Nondisclosure), 11
(Warranty/Indemnification), 12 (Limitation of Liability), 13 (Term and
Termination) and 14 (Miscellaneous) shall survive termination of this

then shall meet in good faith to resolve the dispute.
14.5 Definitions and Section Headings. Singular terms shall be construed as
plural, and vice versa, where the context requires. Section headings
are a matter of convenience and shall not be considered part of this
Agreement.
14.6 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the complete and exclusive
statement of the understandings of the parties, and it supersedes and
merges all prior proposals and understandings, whether oral or written,
relating to the subject matter of this Agreement. This Agreement may
not be modified except in writing, signed by an officer of Vitria and a
duly authorized representative of ChiLin, and expressly referring to
this Agreement. This Agreement takes precedence over any purchase order
issued by either party, which may accepted by the other party for
administrative convenience only.
14.7 Export. The parties shall comply with the Export Laws. Neither party
will export or re-export directly or indirectly (including via remote
access) any part of the Deliverables, Vitria Owned Technology, Vitria
Owned Modifications, ChiLin Technology, ChiLin Owned Modifications or
any Confidential Information to any country for which a validated
license is required under the Export Laws without first obtaining a

representative of the other or to make the parties partners or joint
venturers.

14.12 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is found by a court of
competent jurisdiction to be invalid or unenforceable, the remainder of
the Agreement shall continue in full force and effect. However, should
either party reasonably conclude that a provision held to be invalid or
unenforceable was a material inducement to its entering into this
Agreement, and the loss of that provision has deprived it of the
benefit of the bargain reached upon execution of this Agreement, then
that party may, upon 10 days prior written notice, terminate this
Agreement.
14.13 Waiver. The waiver of one breach or default shall not constitute the
waiver of any subsequent breach or default, and shall not act to amend
or negate the rights of any party.
