ISES hereby grants Customer, and Customer hereby accepts from ISES, a
non-exclusive and non-transferable right to use the computer programs described
in Section 1 below (the "Products") on the designated hardware described in
Section 2 below (the "Designated Hardware"), for the term specified herein,
subject to the terms and conditions specified below.
GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS
1. PRODUCTS
"Products" means (i) the machine-readable object code version of the computer
programs described in the Product Schedule, whether embedded on disc, tape or
other media, for use on the computer platform specified in the Product Schedule
(the "Software"), (ii) the published user manuals and documentation that ISES
makes generally available for the Software (the "Documentation"), (iii) the
fixes, updates, upgrades or new versions of the Software or Documentation that
ISES may provide to Customer under this Agreement (the "Enhancements") and (iv)
any copy of the Software, Documentation or Enhancements. Nothing in this
Agreement will entitle Customer to receive the source code of the Software or
Enhancements, in whole or in part.
2. DESIGNATED HARDWARE
"Designated Hardware" means the hardware equipment installed in the designated
aircraft, each as specified in the Product Schedule. Customer may use the
Products as described in Section 3 only on the Designated Hardware while it
possesses and operates the Designated Hardware. Any other use or transfer of the
Products will require ISES's prior approval, which (i) shall not be unreasonably
withheld or delayed and (ii) may be subject to additional charges should any
revision to the Products be required as a result of the alternative use or
transfer.
3. USE
Customer may use the Products only in and for Customer's own internal purposes
in providing in-flight entertainment to passengers. Customer will not permit any
other person to use the Products, whether on a time-sharing or other multiple
user arrangement. Customer may install the Software or Enhancements on a network
or other multi-user computer system specified in the Product Schedule and use
the Designated Hardware to provide file services to Customer's in-flight
entertainment consoles, up to the number of seats specified in the Product
Schedule. Customer may make a reasonable number of back-up archival copies of
the Software and Enhancements. Customer will reproduce all confidentiality and
proprietary notices on each of these copies and maintain an accurate record of
the location of each of these copies. Customer will not otherwise copy,
translate, modify, adapt, decompile, disassemble or reverse engineer the
Products, except as and to the extent expressly authorized by applicable law or
with the prior approval of ISES.
4. PAYMENT
Customer will pay to ISES the License Fee specified in the Product Schedule and
by the date specified in the Product Schedule. The License Fee is based upon the
total number of aircraft that may access an in-flight entertainment console. Any
increase in usage may be subject to additional charges. All amounts specified in
the Product Schedule are exclusive of any applicable use, sales, service,
property or other taxes or contributions, which Customer will pay in addition to
the amount due and payable. If, under local law or applicable treaty,
1
Customer is required to withhold any tax on such payments, then the amount of
the payment will be automatically increased to totally offset such tax, so that
the amount actually remitted to ISES, net of all taxes, equals the amount
invoiced or otherwise due. Customer will promptly furnish ISES with the official
receipt of payment of these taxes to the appropriate taxing authority. Any
amount not paid when due will accrue interest at the rate of 1.5% per month.
Customer will pay such interest when remitting the principal amount to ISES.
5. SHIPMENT
ISES will, at its own cost, ship the Products from its distribution center to a
mutually agreed third party in the United States, subject to delays beyond
ISES's control. Should Customer desire shipment outside of the United States,
then ISES will select the method of shipment for Customer's account and obtain
all licenses required to export the Products from the country of origin.
Customer shall pay or reimburse ISES for the cost of shipment of the Products to
the port of entry at Customer's country of domicile. Customer will (i) obtain
all licenses required to import the Products into its country of domicile, (ii)
clear the Products through local customs and (iii) pay all customs duties and
other charges assessed on such importations, if applicable. Risk of loss will
pass to Customer upon arrival of the Products at the port of entry in Customer's
country of domicile.
6. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
(a) Maintenance. During the warranty period specified in Section 7(a), ISES will
provide Customer, at no additional charge, with the fixes and updates that ISES
may make generally available as part of its standard maintenance services (the
"Updates"). Customer may elect to continue receiving Updates for the remainder
of the Term (as defined in Section 12(a)) after the Warranty Period (the
"Maintenance Period"), as long as the Agreement is in effect.
(b) "Hot-Line" Support. During the Warranty Period and any Maintenance Period
for which Customer has paid, ISES will provide Customer, at no additional
charge, with advice, consultation and assistance to use the Product and diagnose
and correct problems that Customer may encounter (the "Hot-Line Support"). ISES
will offer the Hot-Line Support remotely by telephone, fax or other electronic
communication during its business hours, 8:00 am to 5:00 pm C.S.T. Customer will
bear all telephone and other expenses that it may incur in connection with the
Hot-Line Support. ISES may offer on-site support to Customer at additional
charges.

(c) Limitation. The Updates will not include any upgrade or new version of the
Products that ISES decides, in its sole discretion, to make generally available
to its customer base as a separately priced item. This Section will not be
interpreted to require ISES to (i) develop and release Enhancements or (ii)
customize the Enhancements to operate in conjunction with any Customer
Modification or otherwise satisfy Customers' particular requests. If an
Enhancement replaces the prior version of the Product, Customer will destroy
such prior version upon installing the Enhancement.
7. WARRANTIES AND REMEDIES
(a) Limited Warranty. ISES warrants that (i) the Software will conform to ISES's
published specifications in effect on the date of delivery, (ii) the Software
will perform substantially as described in the accompanying Documentation for 90
days after delivery of the Product, and (iii) from the date of delivery of the
Product by ISES until December 31, 2000, the Products will record, store,

1999, (iv) it will perform any maintenance and support services pursuant to
Section 6 with reasonable care and skill. Customer acknowledges that (i) the
Products may not satisfy all of Customer's requirements, (ii) the use of the
Products may not be uninterrupted or error-free and (iii) this limited warranty
will be not apply in case of any Customer Modifications. Customer further
acknowledges that (i) the License Fee and other charges contemplated under this
Agreement are based on the limited warranty, disclaimers and limitation of
liability specified in Sections 7, 8 and 9 and (ii) such charges would be
substantially higher if any of these provisions were unenforceable.
(b) Remedies. In case of breach of warranty or any other duty related to the
quality of the Products, ISES or its representative will, at its own cost
promptly correct or replace any defective Software or, if not practicable, ISES
will accept the return of the defective Software and refund to Customer (i) the
amount actually paid to ISES for the defective Software, less depreciation based
on a 5-year straight line depreciation schedule, and (ii) a pro rata share of
any maintenance fees that Customer actually paid to ISES for the period that
such Software was not usable. Customer acknowledges that this Paragraph sets
forth Customer's exclusive remedy, and ISES's exclusive liability, for any
breach of warranty or other duty related to the quality of the Products.
(c) Limitations. The warranty provided in this Section 7 will not apply to the
extent that the breach of warranty or Product defect is not brought to the
attention of ISES during the applicable warranty period or arises as a result of
(i) failure to properly install or use the Product in accordance with its
documentation, (ii) failure of the operating environment or hardware failure,
(iii) modification of the Products other than by ISES, (iv) failure to promptly
install an Update provided to the Customer by ISES that would have eliminated
the defect, (v) use of the Products with ambiguous date related data or in a
Year 2000 non-compliant operating environment or (vi) the combination of the
Products with other items not provided by ISES, but only if the breach
2
would not have occurred from use of the Product alone with the Designated
Hardware existing as of the date of this Agreement.
(d) Disclaimer. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THIS AGREEMENT, ALL WARRANTIES,
CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS, INDEMNITIES AND GUARANTEES WITH RESPECT TO THE
PRODUCTS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, ARISING BY LAW, CUSTOM, PRIOR ORAL OR
WRITTEN STATEMENTS BY ISES, ITS AGENTS OR OTHERWISE (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED
TO ANY WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR PARTICULAR PURPOSE, SATISFACTORY
QUALITY AND NON-INFRINGEMENT) ARE HEREBY OVERRIDDEN, EXCLUDED AND DISCLAIMED.
8. INDEMNITY
(a) Indemnity. If an action is brought against Customer claiming that a Product
infringes a presently issued U.S. patent, or a copyright or trade secret, ISES
will defend Customer at ISES's expense and, subject to this Section and Section
9, pay the damages and costs finally awarded against customer in the
infringement action, but only if (i) Customer notifies ISES promptly upon
learning that the claim might be asserted, (ii) ISES has sole control over the
defense of the claim and any negotiation for its settlement or compromise and
(iii) Customer provides ISES with full cooperation in the investigation, defense
and settlement of such claim as ISES may reasonably require, providing that
Customer shall be reimbursed all of its reasonable out of pocket expenses
incurred as a result.
(b) Alternative Remedy. If a claim described in Section 8(a) may be or has been
asserted, Customer will permit ISES, at ISES's option and expense, to (i)
procure the right to continue using the Product, (ii) replace or modify the
Product to eliminate the infringement while providing functionally equivalent
performance or only if the remedies specified in (i) and (ii) are unavailable to
ISES on commercially reasonable terms, (iii) accept the return of the Product
and refund to Customer the amount actually paid to ISES for such Product, less
depreciation based on a 5-year straight-line depreciation schedule and a pro
rata share of any maintenance fees that Customer actually paid to ISES for the
period that such Product was not usable.
(c) Limitation. ISES shall have no indemnity obligation to Customer under this
Section if the infringement claim results from (i) a correction or modification
of the Product not provided by ISES, such as a Customer Modification, (ii) the
failure to promptly install an Update provided to Customer by ISES or (iii) the
combination of the Product with other items not provided by ISES, unless the
infringement would have occurred from use of the Product alone.
9. NO CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES
UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES WILL ISES OR ITS LICENSORS BE LIABLE FOR ANY
CONSEQUENTIAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL, PUNITIVE OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES OR LOST
PROFITS, WHETHER FORESEEABLE OR UNFORESEEABLE, BASED ON CUSTOMER'S CLAIMS OR
THOSE OF ITS PASSENGERS (INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, CLAIMS FOR LOSS OF DATA,
GOODWILL, USE OF MONEY OR USE OF THE PRODUCTS, INTERRUPTION IN USE OR
AVAILABILITY OF DATA, STOPPAGE OF OTHER WORK OR IMPAIRMENT OF OTHER ASSETS OR
EQUIPMENT), ARISING OUT OF BREACH OR FAILURE OF EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY,
BREACH OF CONTRACT, MISREPRESENTATION, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY IN TORT OR
OTHERWISE. IN NO EVENT WILL THE AGGREGATE LIABILITY WHICH ISES OR ITS LICENSORS
MAY INCUR IN ANY ACTION OR PROCEEDING EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT ACTUALLY PAID BY
CUSTOMER FOR THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT THAT DIRECTLY CAUSED THE DAMAGE. THIS SECTION
WILL NOT APPLY ONLY WHEN AND TO THE EXTENT THAT APPLICABLE LAW SPECIFICALLY
REQUIRES LIABILITY, DESPITE THE FOREGOING EXCLUSION AND LIMITATION.
10. OWNERSHIP
All trademarks, service marks, patents, copyrights, trade secrets and other
proprietary rights in or related to the Products are and will remain the
exclusive property of ISES or its licensors, whether or not specifically
recognized or perfected under applicable law. Customer will not take any action
that jeopardizes ISES's or its licensor's proprietary rights or acquire any
right in the Products, except the limited use rights specified in Section 3.
ISES or its licensor will own all rights in any copy, translation, modification,
adaptation or derivation of the Products, including any Customer Modification or
other improvement or development of the Products. Customer will obtain, at
ISES's reasonable request and expense, the execution of any instrument that may
be appropriate to assign these rights to ISES or its designee or perfect these
rights in ISES's or its licensor's name.

confidentiality of the Products, including (i) those taken by Customer to
protect Customer's own confidential information and (ii) those which ISES or its
authorized representative may reasonably request from time to time. Customer
will not allow the removal or defacement of any confidentiality or proprietary
notice placed on the Products. The placement of copyright notices on these items
will not constitute publication or otherwise impair their confidential nature.
(b) Disclosure. Customer will not disclose, in whole or in part, any item of the
Products that has been designated as confidential to any individual, entity or
other person, except (i) to those of Customer's employees or consultants who (x)
require access for Customer's authorized use of the Products and (y) agree to
comply with the use and non-disclosure restrictions applicable to the Products
under this Agreement. Customer shall cause any employee or consultant who has
access to the source code of the Software to expressly acknowledge its
confidential and proprietary nature. Customer acknowledges that any unauthorized
use or
3
disclosure of the Products may cause irreparable damage to ISES, its licensors
and ISES. If an unauthorized use or disclosure occurs, Customer will immediately
notify ISES and take, at Customer's expense, all steps which may be available to
recover the Products and to prevent their subsequent unauthorized use or
dissemination.

any portion of the Products that (i) Customer knew or independently developed
before receiving the Products under this Agreement, (ii) Customer lawfully
obtained from a third party under no confidentiality obligation or (iii) became

Customer or any of Customer's employees or consultants.

of cure. This Agreement will terminate automatically if either party becomes
insolvent or enters into bankruptcy, suspension of payments, moratorium,
reorganization or any other proceeding that relates to insolvency or protection
of creditors' rights. Upon the termination of this Agreement for any reason, all
rights granted to Customer hereunder will cease, and Customer will promptly (i)
