7. Royalties.
7.1 Within the earlier of: (i) thirty (30) days after invoicing or
(ii) ten (10) days after receipt by CCS of the license fee charged
by CCS or a Dealer to the end user/licensee of TRAMS Software
(exclusive of reasonable fees that may be charged for installation,
training, maintenance, and support) CCS shall pay to CCNMS
royalties as provided for in Schedule B, attached hereto. Invoicing
shall occur no later than the date of the TRAMS Software is used in
a production environment by an end user. In the event CCS fails to
make a Royalty payment within twenty-one (21) days after such
payment is due, such overdue amount shall bear interest from the
date such payment was due at the U.S.A. prime rate as announced in
the Wall Street Journal on the date twenty-one (21) days after the
day such payment was due. In the event an audit conducted pursuant
to paragraph 11 below reveals the failure of CCS to make a Royalty
payment, the interest provisions of Paragraph 11.2 below shall
supersede the provisions of this paragraph relating to the payment
of interest.
7.2 Notwithstanding CCS' right to establish the license fee to be paid
by any particular end user/licensee, the Royalty to be paid on
account of a sublicense granted by CCS of TRAMS Software shall be
in accordance with Schedule B attached hereto and made a part
hereof.
7.3 The parties acknowledge and agree that CCS intends to enhance and
modify the TRAMS Software code on an ongoing basis and that the
Royalties provided for should be adjusted to reflect the CCS
contributions to the TRAMS Software code functionality and
capabilities. The method for adjusting the Royalties owed by CCS
shall be as follows:
(a) Royalties shall be reduced only as a result of modifying the
TRAMS Software, not by attaching the TRAMS Software, or parts
thereof, to another CCS application;
(b) The minimum Royalties provided for in Schedule B shall not
change until the TRAMS Software has been modified and enhanced
so that the number of lines of code contained in the Base Line
Release constitutes less than six percent (60%) of the
enhanced version;
7
(c) Modifications and enhancements to the Base Line Release shall
be measured on a module-by-module basis (the modules being
defined in Section 1.1 hereof) or combinations thereof. For
example, if TRAMS/BC has 1,000 lines of code in the Base Line
Release and CCS adds an additional 1,000 lines of code to the
TRAMS/BC, then the Base Line Release shall constitute fifty
percent (50%) of the new TRAMS/BC.
(d) When the Base Line Release code of a given module no longer
constitutes at least sixty percent (60%) of the new module,
the Royalties owed pursuant to Schedule B shall be calculated
based on the percentage that the Base Line Release code is of
the enhanced module code.
For example:
Base Line Release code (whether
or not used in the enhanced model) = 1,000 lines
Enhanced Module Percentage = 2,000 lines
Percentage = 50%
So that fifty percent (50%) of the Royalty calculated pursuant
to Schedule B shall be owed. "Base Line Release" means (i) the
U.S. and U.K. version of Release 1.3 of the TRAMS Software
delivered to CCS by CCNMS as it existed on May 31, 1994;
(ii) the duplicate header module under development by Xxx
Xxxxxxx but not released as of May 31, 1994; and (iii)
modifications, enhancements and changes to the TRAMS Software
for the U.K. market delivered by CCN to CCS as of May 31, 1994.
7.4. For purposes only of computing the Royalty due under this
Agreement. the parties acknowledge and agree that any translation
of the Base Line Release TRAMS Software from the computer
language in which it is currently coded, into another computer
language, shall also be deemed to be Base Line Release TRAMS
Software. Nothing herein shall be used to construe the ownership
of any of such software, which shall be determined in accordance
with Section 8 below.
7.5 With each initial Royalty payment for a TRAMS Software module
according to Schedule B made under this Agreement, CCS shall
prepare and deliver to CCNMS a report showing the name of the
licensee or end user, the manner in which the TRAMS Software was
distributed (by direct license or through a Dealer), the
licensee fees charged for the Software, the amount charged for
other services, the amount of Royalty payments withheld as taxes,
if any, the rate of exchange used in calculating such Royalties
(if applicable), any adjustments in the Royalty pursuant to
paragraph 7.3 and the basis for calculating the adjustment. and
such other information and details as CCNMS may reasonably require
to verify the amounts due hereunder. For all subsequent royalty
payments, CCS shall be required to remit such Royalty Payment with
documentation sufficient to
8
identify it as being made pursuant to the original documentation
submitted. CCNMS is obligated to maintain confidentiality of all
data or information provided to it under this Paragraph 7.5 and
Paragraph 7.6 below.
7.6 If any reoccurring Royalties are due to CCNMS pursuant to
Schedule B then such payments shall be remitted to CCNMS within
ten (10) days of the end of each calendar quarter, along with
an initial report showing the name of the licensee or end user,
the manner in which the reoccurring Royalties were calculated
and the basis for such calculation, together with such other
information and details as CCNMS may reasonably require to
verify the amounts due hereunder. For all subsequent royalty
payments, CCS shall be required to remit such royalty payment
with documentation sufficient to identify all necessary
calculations as being made pursuant to the original documentation
submitted.
7.7. If the governing authority of any country shall impose any
withholding tax on any payment due hereunder, and shall require
that such tax be deducted from such payment, then CCS shall be
authorized to deduct from such payment the applicable tax and shall
pay the tax so deducted to the proper governmental authority, and
shall supply CCNMS with proof of such payment.
7.8. CCS shall, and shall require its Dealers, for a period of three
(3) years after the receipt of each Royalty payment, to keep true
and accurate records in such form and manner that with respect
thereto, Royalties owed hereunder to CCNMS may be readily and
accurately determined. Such records shall include, without
limitation, all information necessary for CCNMS's auditors to
prepare the reports provided for in paragraph 11.1 below. CCS
shall also keep copies of all license agreements entered into
between CCS or its Dealers with respect to TRAMS Software for
at least three (3) years from execution of such agreement. This
paragraph shall survive any termination of this Agreement. On
written notice, officers of CCNMS shall have the right to arrange
for a mutually agreeable time to inspect and make copies of all
such license agreements at the office of CCS during normal business
hours at the expense of CCNMS.
8. CCS Software Development.
8.1. The parties hereto agree that all modifications, enhancements or
other changes to the Base Line Release TRAMS Software made or
caused to be made by CCS or its affiliates are solely owned by and
are hereby assigned to CCS. Furthermore, the calculations or
allocations of Royalties made pursuant to Section 7.3 are made
solely with respect to such payments and have no bearing whatsoever
on ownership.
8.2 All software developed by CCS shall be and remain the exclusive
property of CCS.
9
9. Proprietary Rights; Indemnification.
9.1. The parties acknowledge and agree that CCS is only granted the
right to use, reproduce. sublicense, create derivative works,
modify and distribute TRAMS Software and in accordance with

to the Base Line Release. including any and all patent rights,
copyrights, copyright registrations, trade secrets, trademarks,
trademark registrations. related goodwill, and confidential and
proprietary information, except as otherwise set forth herein.
9.2. The parties acknowledge that two individuals, X.X. Xxxxxxx, and
Xxxxxx Xxxxxxx (collectively the "Primary Developers"), have
been the primary developers of the TRAMS Software, and that they
have not been employed by CCNMS since the latter part of 1992.
Since that time, the TRAMS Software has been developed and
marketed by the Primary Developers and TranSys Corporation, a
Florida corporation. Accordingly, based in part on the
representations of the Primary Developers in Section 9.8 below,
CCNMS warrants to CCS, to the best of its knowledge (including the
knowledge of its current officers and directors), that (a) the
TRAMS Software does not infringe upon the U.S. copyrights or any
other copyrights worldwide of any other person or entity, (b) the
TRAMS Software was not misappropriated from another person or
entity, and (c) CCNMS has not granted a security interest, lien
or other encumbrance on the TRAMS Software (other than under that
certain Heads of Agreement, dated December 1, 1992, among TranSys
Corporation, the Primary Developers and CCNMS). EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY
PROVIDED IN THIS SECTION 9.2, CCNMS MAKES NO REPRESENTATIONS OR
WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, NATURE OR DESCRIPTION, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED,
WITH RESPECT TO THE TRAMS SOFTWARE OR THE DOCUMENTATION LICENSED
UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTY
OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OF THE TRAMS SOFTWARE OR
DOCUMENTATION FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE, AND CCNMS HEREBY

indirect, incidental or consequential damages arising in connection
with this Agreement, the TRAMS Software, or any license or
distribution thereof, except to the extent arising out of a breach
of Section 10 below.
9.4. CCNMS shall defend, indemnify and hold harmless CCS and its
affiliates and subsidiaries and their respective officers,
directors, employees and agents from all
10
damages, liabilities and reasonable expenses (including reasonable
expenses and settlements resulting from any action or claim),
arising out of, connected with, or resulting in any way from:
(i) any representation made by CCNMS to the public or third parties
regarding the TRAMS Software; (ii) TRAMS Software licensed,

seeking indemnification hereunder shall give written notice of the
claim to CCNMS in a timely manner after it receives actual notice
of the existence thereof. CCNMS shall have the right at its
expense to employ counsel reasonably acceptable to such party to
defend against the claim, and to compromise. settle or otherwise
dispose of the claim, all at the expense of CCNMS; provided, that
no compromise or settlement of any claim admitting liability of or
imposing duties of performance upon any party entitled to
indemnification may be affected without the prior written consent
of such party. CCS will cooperate fully in any such action, making
available to CCNMS, at CCNMS's expense, books or records reasonably
necessary for the defense of the claim. If CCNMS does not avail
itself of the opportunity to defend against or resist the claim
within twenty (20) days after timely notice of such claim from
any party seeking indemnification hereunder (or such shorter time
specified in the notice as circumstances may dictate), such party
shall be free to investigate, defend, compromise. settle or
otherwise dispose of the claim in a reasonable manner, and incur
other reasonable costs in connection therewith, including
reasonable attorneys' fees, and CCNMS shall be responsible
therefor.

SCHEDULE B
LICENSE FEES
CCS shall pay CCNMS license fees on sublicense of TRAMS SOFTWARE based on
the nature of the sales and the nature of the sublicensee. This Agreement
contemplates six different categories of sublicensees. They are as follows:
(1) Sublicenses to customers that do not provide Service Bureau Services
("Non-Service Bureau Sublicenses"), and
(2) Sublicenses to customers that provide Service Bureau Services ("Service
Bureau Sublicenses") and
(3) Other Platform Based Products
(4) Multiple Sites
(5) Enterprise License
(6) Service Bureau
For purposes of this Schedule B, "Net Selling Price" shall mean the gross
sales sublicensed price pursuant to sublicensing TRAMS to third parties less
sales and foreign withholding taxes actually paid by CCS in connection with
the granting of the sublicense and shall not include any reasonable sums paid
for installation, support, training, maintenance, support software, changes
or modifications or any other similar services.
Category 1--Non-Service Bureau Sublicense royalties shall be determined
as follows:
(1) Stand Alone Product. If TRAMS Software is licensed as a stand alone
product to a third party (without enhancement by a non-TRAMS Software
product which is licensed separately by CCS, hereinafter, "Stand Alone
Product), royalty fee payable to CCNMS shall be equal to twenty percent
(20%) of the Net Selling Price, subject to the following minimums:
TRAMS SOFTWARE MODULES MINIMUM ROYALTY PAYMENT
-------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------------
(a): TRAMS (including TRAMS/AG)......................... $40,000*
(b): TRAMS/BC........................................... $50,000**
(c): TRAMS/DE........................................... $5,000*
(d): TRAMS/AG (without TRAMS)........................... No minimum twenty percent (20%) of the
Net Selling Priceof TRAMS/AG
* If sublicensed with another TRAMS module, the minimum fee for all TRAMS
modules licensed in the aggregate to the same sublicensee shall not exceed
$50,000.
** If TRAMS/BC is licensed to an existing TRAMS customer, then the Minimum
Royalty Payment would be $ 10,000.
21
(2) Integrated Product. If the TRAMS software is sublicensed as part of an
integrated product, e.g., a TRAMS Software module combined with a
non-TRAMS Software module creating an integrated marketable product which
is licensed separately by CCS for a single license fee (hereinafter
"Integrated Product"), then notwithstanding any facts to the contrary,
the Royalty payment due from CCS to CCNMS as follows:
TRAMS SOFTWARE MODULES NET SELLING PRICE ROYALTY PAYMENT
------------------------------------ ------------------------------------ ------------------------------------
(a)TRAMS and TRAMS/AG............... $200,000 $40,000
(b)TRAMS/BC......................... $250,000 $50,000**
(c)TRAMS/DE......................... $25,000 $5,000
(d)TRAMS/AG......................... No Minimum No Minimum
** If TRAMS/BC is licensed to an existing TRAMS customer, then the Royalty
Payment would be $10.000.
The Net Selling Price shall be deemed to be $250,000.00 and the minimum
Royalty Payment shall be deemed to be $50,000,000 where all modules are
licensed to a third party in the single agreement.
Category 2--Service Bureau Sublicense royalties shall be determined as
follows:
(1) Stand Alone Product. The Royalty Payment based on Net Selling Price due
from CCS to CCNMS for each sublicense issued to a Service Bureau shall be
computed based on the same terms and conditions described in Category 1
for Stand Alone Products. In addition, if the end-user license agreement
provides for recurring fees based on either an account or transaction
basis ("Recurring Fees"), then an additional Royalty Payment shall be due
from CCS to CCNMS equal to twenty percent (20%) of the Recurring Fees;
provided however, that the Recurring Fees on which the additional Royalty
Payment is calculated shall not include any reasonable installation.
support. training, maintenance, support software, changes, modifications
or any other similar service.
(2) Integrated Product. The assumed Net Selling Price and corresponding
Royalty Payment due from CCS to CCNMS for each sublicense issued to a
Service Bureau shall be computed based on the same terms and conditions
described in Category 1 for Integrated Products. In addition, if the
end-user license agreement provides for Recurring Fees, then an
additional Royalty Payment shall be due from CCS to CCNMS based on the
Recurring Fees which shall be determined by multiplying: (a) twenty
percent (20%) by (b) the percentage that the assumed Net Selling Price of
the TRAMS Software module constitutes of the total Net Selling Price for
the Integrated Product by (c) the Recurring Fees; provided however, that
the Recurring Fees on which the additional Royalty Payment is calculated
shall not include any reasonable installation, support. training.
maintenance, support Software, changes, modifications or any other
similar service.

TO RECURRING FEES:
RECURRING FEES
Additional Amount
% % OF LICENSE FEE COST PER TRANSACTION NUMBER OF TRANSACTIONS of Royalry Fee
------------------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------------------------------- ----------------
20% X.......................... ($250,000/$1,000,000) X ($.01 per transaction X 5,000,000 transactions) = $2,500
ASSUMPTIONS:
License Fee: $1,000,000; Transactions: 5.000,000; Cost per Transaction:
$.01.
If the licensed customer provides Service Bureau services, then Category
2 shall apply and Category 1 shall not apply.
Category 3--Other Platform Based Product.
The parties will reasonably work together to agree to separate prices for
other platform based (e.g. PC based system) with respect to the
implementation of systems for the TRAMS Software if developed by either
or both parties. Prior to setting of the price for such PC based product,
the parties shall review the price structure together.
Category 4--Multiple Sites:
For subsequent sites, the Royalty due from CCS to CCNMS shall be computed
as follows:
(a) Stand Alone Product. The Royalty payment shall be twenty percent
(20%) of the actual Net Selling Price and shall not be subject to a
Minimum Royalty Payment.
(b) Integrated Product. The Royalty payment shall be calculated by
multiplying: (i) twenty percent (20%) by (ii) the percentage that the
assumed Net Selling Price of the TRAMS Software module listed in Category
1, paragraph (2) constitutes of the total Net Selling Price for the
Integrated Product for the first site license by (iii) the Net Selling
Price for the subsequent site.

----------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------- ------------------ ---------
20% X................................................ ($250,000/$1,000,000) $800,000 = $40,000
c) Recurring Fees. If the end-user license agreement for a Service Bureau
provides for Recurring Fees for a second or subsequent site, the Royalty
payment shall be calculated using the same formulas defined under
Category 2 for Stand Alone Products or Integrated Products, as applicable
Category 5--Enterprise License:
The parties will reasonably cooperate in setting an enterprise license
fee (a company-wide fee for multiple sites) which shall generally
reflect the relative scope and scale of such enterprise in proportion to
the number of sites and products utilized.
Category 6--Service Bureau:
At some future date, should CCS desire to use TRAMS Software in its
internal Service Bureau processing, it will enter into negotiations for
CCNMS to license the TRAMS Software for such use, and CCNMS agrees to
license such TRAMS Software on terms no less favorable than granted to
other users or licensees for use in Service Bureau processing.
