performed by UniDirect hereunder in accordance with the license terms set forth
in this Section 3. UniDirect shall submit all materials bearing the Marks,
including without limitation, advertisements, promotional materials and
invoices, to FTP for review and written approval prior to initial release, which

parties' intention that UniDirect will begin performance hereunder as FTPSS six

for FTP's inspection. UniDirect acknowledges FTP's representation of its
ownership of the Marks, agrees that UniDirect shall do nothing inconsistent with
such ownership and agrees that all use of the Marks shall inure to the benefit
of FTP. UniDirect agrees that neither by virtue of this Agreement nor
performance contemplated hereunder does UniDirect acquire any rights, title, or
interest in or to the Marks other than the license granted in this Section 3.

which shall in no event occur no later than six (6) months from the date of such
termination or expiration, and shall destroy all printed or other materials
bearing any of the Marks. The goodwill associated therewith shall remain the
property of FTP and shall not be derogated by UniDirect.
(ii) UniDirect shall not remove any FTP or FTP supplier's
markings, logos, colors or other insignia which are affixed to Products at the
time of FTP's shipment. Only Products licensed from FTP shall bear FTP's
markings, logos or other insignia. UniDirect shall not add any additional logos,
markings or other insignia to the Products.

such quarterly FTP Gross Sales figures for the period beginning July 1, 1996 and
ending June 30, 1997 and dividing the result by four (4). To the extent the FTP

subsequently determined to be overstated, the Baseline shall be recalculated
using the FTP Gross Sales for such period as reduced by the overstated amount.

time as UniDirect's Net Sales of Subscription Services and Support Services
during a particular calendar quarter exceed the Baseline, UniDirect shall
receive the following discounts from the Retail Prices for the remainder of such

5. Payment and Supply Terms.
------------------------
a. Each month UniDirect shall order from FTP and store such
quantities of Upgrades and Products required in UniDirect's normal performance
of outsourcing services under this Agreement as are anticipated by UniDirect to
fulfill one (1) month of customer orders; provided, however, that UniDirect
shall limit its orders of such Upgrades and Products from FTP to four (4) such
orders per month during the first six (6) months following the Outsource Start
Date and to three (3) such orders per month thereafter. All such purchases are

physically or electronically) from all other goods and property held by
UniDirect, including, without limitation, any other FTP products which UniDirect
may possess pursuant to other, separate agreements with FTP. UniDirect shall not
open or remove the shrink wrap or other license from the Products. UniDirect
shall deliver to FTP, within five (5) business days after the end of each
calendar month, a purchase order for all such Upgrades and Products sold by
UniDirect during the previous month.
b. For each Upgrade or other Product returned to and accepted by
UniDirect in compliance with FTP's policies and procedures for product returns,
including without limitation, appropriate FTP approvals, UniDirect shall receive
a credit from FTP for such return in an amount equal to UniDirect's Net Sale for
such Upgrade or other Product. FTP shall credit the aggregate amount of returns
for such previous month against amounts due FTP from UniDirect and FTP shall
accordingly reduce FTP's invoice to UniDirect by a corresponding amount.
c. All payments hereunder shall be due and payable thirty (30) days
after the date of FTP invoice and shall be paid in U.S. dollars drawn on a U.S.
bank. All shipments to UniDirect shall be made F.O.B. FTP Collect. Each party

7. Customer/Lead Databases and Information.
---------------------------------------
a. The parties acknowledge that access to certain Business Unit's

the right to continue distributing the Products, (ii) replace or modify the

reasonable costs, damages, and attorney's fees incurred by UniDirect in
connection with any claim or action brought or threatened against UniDirect due

notifies FTP of the claim or action and (ii) allows FTP sole control of such
claim or action and gives FTP reasonable assistance in the defense thereof.

reasonable costs, damages and attorney's fees finally awarded FTP, or agreed to

misconduct with respect to its distribution of Products; provided, however, that
the indemnification provided by this Section 9.c shall be conditioned upon FTP
(i) promptly notifying UniDirect of the action and (ii) allowing UniDirect sole
control of such action and gives UniDirect reasonable assistance in the defense
of the action. UniDirect shall have no obligation under this Section 11.c to
indemnify FTP for any claim based upon or arising from any claimed defect in a
Product, Upgrade, Support Service or Subscription Service.

Amendment 1
Pricing program adjustments
To encourage the early renewal process to occur, we propose that a late renewal
fee be imposed upon certain levels of delinquency of renewal. This will help to
encourage a sense of urgency from the FTP Customer base, and help increase the
overall renewal rate. Our experience has showed to us the fact that building
these types of re-occurring compelling events are paramount to the success of
any subscription based program. Given the proactive posture of FTPSS in sales,
we feel that we can touch and educate all identified renewable revenue long
before the expiration of the contract. With this "sooner than later" based
program, we should increase the closure rate.
We would like to run the following program, and pricing scheme with an ongoing
90 day review process, where both FTP and FTPSS can determine the success of the
program, and make adjustments to it accordingly.

2.) All daily transactions where maintenance or additional seats to an existing
site are sold must contain the site license number. This must be reported
nightly through the daily transactions report.
3.) Add-on licenses may only be sold in conjunction with the maintenance
renewal sales motion. Due to the nature of our renewal process, potential
renewal opportunities will be contacted up to 60 days prior to the
expiration and the renewal process often extends out 30 days after the
expiration date when the customer does not renew in a timely fashion.
4.) FTP Software Services will sell product (add-on licenses) during this 90-
day window (60 days prior to expiration and 30 days after) and will
reference the maintenance renewal related to the sale in an email to Xxx
Xxxxx and Xxxx Formalerie.
All potential product opportunities identified by FTPSS that do not meet
the above criteria will be sent out to the channel partners as leads.
