EXHIBIT 10.1
EQUIPMENT SUPPORT SUBCONTRACT
This Agreement, consisting of this Equipment Support Subcontract along with
Schedules A through G, is between OLIVETTI NORTH AMERICA, INC. ("ONA"), a
Washington corporation, with corporate headquarters at 00000 Xxxx Xxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxxxxxx and MAI SYSTEMS CORPORATION, ("MAI"), a Delaware
corporation, with corporate headquarters at 0000 Xxxxxxxx Xxxx, Xxxxxx, XX
00000, and is effective on December 2, 1996 ("Effective Date").
1. PURPOSE
MAI sells computers and computer systems and provides service for the
equipment it sells to its customers. As part of that business, MAI
provides warranty service for many of the products it sells and has
also entered into contracts with many of its customers to provide
maintenance, repair, and related services for these products. In
order to provide these services, MAI employs a number of computer
service technicians working out of a number of field offices
throughout the United States. MAI is planning to discontinue its
current field service operations and needs a company with a qualified
field service organization to perform the field service portion of
MAI's contracts with its customers. ONA is also in the business of
selling computers and computer systems and also maintains a computer
service field organization throughout the United States. ONA has
agreed to provide MAI with computer field service throughout the
United States under the terms and conditions set forth in this
agreement.
2. APPLICATION OF AGREEMENT
This Agreement is intended to cover not only the provision of computer
field service operations under those contracts MAI has with its
customers as of the Effective Date of this Agreement ("Existing
Customer Agreements"), but contracts MAI enters into with its
customers after the Effective Date as well ("New Customer
Agreements"). However, the terms under which ONA will provide
services related to Existing Customer Agreements differ in some
respects from those under which it will provide services related to
New Customer Agreements.
Schedules A through E define the services ONA will perform and the
manner in which MAI will support ONA and pay ONA for those services
with respect to New Customer Agreements. Schedule F identifies the
ways in which the treatment of these same issues will differ with
respect to Existing Customer Agreements.

3. EXCLUSIVITY/RIGHT TO BID
This Agreement is intended to establish an exclusive relationship
whereby ONA will provide all of MAI's Maintenance Service needs (for
both Warranty Service and Contract Service) under Existing Customer
Agreements. MAI agrees to have ONA provide all its field service
requirements of this type under the Existing Customer Agreements and
that it will not perform those obligations itself or contract with any
other person or entity to provide such requirements so long as this
Agreement is in force.
MAI further agrees that with respect to all of its other Equipment
Support needs it may have during the term of this Agreement, it shall,
at a minimum, provide ONA with the opportunity to bid on the provision
of such services. MAI further agrees to provide the use of office
space and access to MAI's existing office equipment (telephones,
copiers, fax machine, etc.) at MAI's corporate headquarters for an ONA
employee to work on-site to serve as an account contact and to respond
to requests for bids from MAI. ONA agrees to reimburse MAI for long
distance telephone charges incurred by this employee.
4. MAI EMPLOYEES
a. MAI shall terminate the employment of those MAI employees
identified by name and title on Schedule G (the "Target
Employees") effective December 1, 1996.
b. Prior to the Effective Date, ONA will offer employment to the
Target Employees on the following terms:
(1) a salary or hourly wage no less than that being paid
to the Target Employee by MAI,
(2) ONA's normal terms and conditions of employment for
similar employees,
(3) treatment of the Target Employees' credited years of
service with MAI (as shown on Schedule G ) as service
with ONA for all purposes except as follows:
a) Notice/Severance Pay. Target Employees
identified on Schedule G as Customer Support
Engineers, Senior Customer Support Engineers,
Customer Support Specialists, District
Product Specialists, Senior Field Materials
Coordinators, National Product Support
Specialists or Logistics Planners (1) will
not be entitled to payment of more than 12
weeks of severance pay under ONA's
Notice/Severance Pay Policy regardless of
their actual years of service (MAI, ONA, or
combined), and (2) shall not be entitled to
receive notice pay under ONA's
Notice/Severance Pay Policy.
b) Pension Plan. A Target Employee's years of
service with MAI will not be considered for
purposes of computing the pension benefit to
which that employee is entitled under ONA's
Defined Benefit Pension Plan. However, those
years of service with MAI will be considered
for
Equipment Support Subcontract - 2 11/25/96
MAI Systems Corp.
3
purposes of satisfying the vesting
requirements of that plan. Regardless of a
Target Employee's ONA hire date, such
employee shall not become a participant in
ONA's Defined Benefit Pension Plan until at
least January 1, 1997.
c) ONA agrees not to layoff any Target Employees
identified on Schedule G as managers during
the twelve (12) month period beginning on the
Effective Date. This shall not prohibit ONA
from terminating such employees for cause.
(4) ONA's offer of employment to a Target Employee shall
be contingent on that Target Employee agreeing to
transfer his or her accrued vacation balance to ONA
instead of having the value of that balance paid in
cash by MAI upon termination of employment. MAI
agrees to reimburse ONA for the value of all vacation
balances transferred to ONA by Target Employees (the
"Transferred Total"). This reimbursement shall be
made beginning January 1, 1997 in monthly payments
equal to the greater of (i)one-twelfth (1/12) of the
Transferred Total or (ii)the actual value of
transferred vacation balances taken by Target
Employees in the prior month. MAI agrees to
indemnify ONA against any claims arising from this
provision on transferring vacation balances in
accordance with the provisions of Section 13(a) of
this Agreement.
c. ONA's current field engineers in metropolitan New York and in
New Jersey are unionized and MAI has indicated that it is not
willing to have its ex-employees incorporated into the union
unless it is sure that they would not be the first to be laid
off should layoffs occur. MAI is concerned about having a
trained work force in place to do the work being subcontracted
to ONA pursuant to this Agreement. ONA is currently working
with its union to try to modify the existing collective
bargaining agreement to address this problem. However, if
that effort is ultimately unsuccessful, ONA will then be
forced to take some other action to resolve this situation,
including possibly subcontracting the work from MAI in this
area to another company with qualified personnel. MAI hereby
consents to such subcontracting.
d. The provisions of this section are intended solely for the
benefit of MAI and ONA and are not intended to create or
expand any rights, as third party beneficiaries or otherwise,
of any other person, including without limitation any of MAI's
employees. Nothing in this section shall be construed as
requiring ONA to pay severance to any employee.
5. SOFTWARE LICENSE
MAI either owns or has the right to license certain software
(including diagnostic programs) which is either necessary or desirable
to use in providing Equipment Support (the "Software"). Subject to
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, MAI hereby grants to ONA a
non-exclusive license to access and use the Software as ONA determines
appropriate
Equipment Support Subcontract - 3 11/25/96
MAI Systems Corp.
4
in performing its responsibilities under this Agreement and only under
this Agreement. ONA shall be permitted to make copies of the Software
as it deems appropriate for use in performing its obligations under
this Agreement.
ONA acknowledges that the Software is licensed, not sold, to it solely
for the purpose of performing its obligations under this Agreement.
ONA further acknowledges that the Software is "Confidential" and
subject to the provisions of Section 16, Non-Disclosure, of this
Agreement. ONA acknowledges that it is not permitted, nor shall it
permit anyone else, under any circumstances, to decode, reverse
engineer, decompile, or disassemble the Software.

requirements, shall be deemed "Confidential" whether or not it is so
identified. Each agrees that with respect to such information it will:
(1) not disclose such information to third parties without the written
consent of the other,
(2) use such information solely for the purposes of this Agreement,
(3) treat such information of the other with a degree of care which is
reasonably calculated to protect such information from disclosure
(but in any event with at least the same degree of care as it
treats its own confidential information),
(4) inform its employees, agents or authorized representatives of the
confidential or proprietary nature of such information, and
(5) direct such persons to comply with the terms of this Agreement.

disclosure, regardless of any termination of this Agreement.
17. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES
ONA shall perform its duties under this Agreement as an independent
contractor, and not as an agent or affiliate of MAI. In particular:
a. nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed to constitute
ONA as a partner, employee or agent of MAI, nor shall either have any
authority to bind the other in any respect, it being intended that each
shall remain an independent contractor responsible for its own actions,
x. XXX shall exercise no control over the activities and operations of
ONA, each being recognized hereunder as an independent contractor,

SCHEDULE A
NEW CUSTOMER AGREEMENTS EQUIPMENT SUPPORT
This Schedule sets out a beginning framework to define the manner in which
service will be ordered by MAI and provided by ONA for New Customer Agreements.
The parties anticipate that ONA will be submitting bids to MAI with respect to
most New Customer Agreements and that the provisions of this schedule may be
modified by the specific provisions of a bid provided by ONA. However, in the
absence of such changes specified in the ONA bid documents, ONA will be making
its bids on the basis of the provisions of this schedule. The parties also
anticipate that as they refine their relationship and the manner in which they
do business, they may decide to modify the provisions of this schedule and each
agrees to negotiate in good faith about any requests for changes made by the
other. Any agreed changes resulting from such negotiations will be reflected
in an amendment to this Agreement signed by both parties.
1. PLACING EQUIPMENT UNDER SERVICE
a. In order to initiate Equipment Support for a particular item of
Equipment, MAI must prepare and submit a completed ONA Maintenance
Service Order ("MSO") to ONA and that MSO must be accepted by ONA. The

b. Equipment Support will not begin for a particular item of Equipment
until ONA has received and accepted an MSO for that item of Equipment.
Following acceptance of an MSO, ONA will label the Equipment with an ID
tag. This ID number must be used to identify the Equipment in all
communications with ONA about the Equipment.
c. All changes to the information provided to ONA about Equipment under
maintenance, such as a change in Equipment location, must be documented
by submission of a revised MSO.
d. An MSO placing Equipment under service shall be valid until
discontinued in accordance with paragraph A7. Until ONA receives an
MSO discontinuing service the Equipment will be kept under service and
ONA will xxxx XXX for that service.

include all pertinent information MAI has about the End User's
Equipment and the problem being experienced, at a minimum:
(1) the ID number for the Equipment, and
(2) the nature of the problem being experienced by the End User,
3. MAINTENANCE SERVICE
a. Maintenance Service means service performed to correct improper
functioning of Equipment which occurs from normal use, including making
any necessary adjustments and/or replacing defective assemblies or
subassemblies.
b. Maintenance Service does not include:
(1) Service of equipment not specifically identified on the MSO
ordering the Maintenance Service, including devices peripheral or
connected to Equipment.
(2) Electrical work external to the Equipment.
(3) Repair of damage or loss resulting from accident, transportation,
neglect, misuse or abuse, operator error, failure of electrical
power or air conditioning or humidity control, or use for which
Equipment was not designed.
(4) Supplies or accessories, painting or refinishing Equipment,
furnishing material for Equipment, making specification or field
engineering changes, performing services connected with relocation

1. STATEMENT OF INTENT
The general intent of the parties is to have ONA perform the service which
MAI is currently required to provide to MAI's customers under the Existing
Customer Agreements in return for [**] of the amounts MAI's customers are
paying MAI for that work. MAI is consigning its current inventory of spare
parts to ONA to permit it to perform that service and MAI will be providing
technical hardware and software support to ONA as required to assist it in
providing this service. Initially, MAI will be handling the incoming call
reception for all Existing Customer Agreements, however the parties intend
to begin working to transfer this function for certain of the Existing
Customer Agreements (the "Legacy Agreements") to ONA as soon as this
agreement has been executed. Eventually, MAI may also like to transfer the
billing and collection functions for the Legacy Agreements to ONA if it is
practical and economical to do so. The remainder of this schedule is
intended to define the precise terms and conditions pursuant to which this
general intent will be carried out.
2. IDENTIFICATION OF CUSTOMERS
Attached as Appendix F-1 is a list of those MAI customers for whom MAI will
retain the call reception, billing and collection functions throughout the
term of this Agreement (the "Open Customers"). All MAI customers with
Existing Customer Agreements who are not listed on Appendix F-1 are "Legacy
Customers" for purposes of this Agreement.
3. EQUIPMENT SUPPORT
a. Generally. With the exceptions listed below, ONA will perform MAI's
Equipment Support obligations under the Existing Customer Agreements
under the same terms and conditions as are required of MAI under those
agreements. This shall include Contract Service, Installation Service,
and Time and Materials Service to the extent such types of service are
covered by the Existing Customer Agreements. Provision of a particular
type of service for an Existing MAI Customer which is not covered by the
Existing Customer Agreement for that customer shall be considered the
provision of service under a New Customer Agreement for purposes of this
Agreement.
Prior to execution of this Agreement, MAI provided ONA with the form
customer agreements and sample customer agreements which are attached as
Appendix F-2. MAI represents and warrants to ONA that its Equipment
Support obligations under the
Schedule F - 2 11/25/96
MAI Systems Corp.
27
Existing Customer Agreements are not materially different than those
required under these form customer agreements and sample customer
agreements.
b. EXCEPTIONS. MAI shall continue to perform the following Equipment
Support Obligations under the Existing Customer Agreements:
(1) MAI shall continue to receive incoming trouble calls from its
customers. MAI will screen these calls to determine whether the
problem is hardware or software related. With respect to calls
which MAI determines are hardware related, MAI shall notify ONA's
dispatch center and provide it with the information MAI has about
the problem so that ONA may dispatch a service technician to the
customer site to resolve the problem. Upon resolution of the
problem, ONA shall notify MAI of its resolution of the problem and
provide it with the information necessary to permit MAI to close
the call in its records. The parties agree to work together to link
their computer systems so that this entire process may ordinarily
be done via computer without the need for telephone or other
alternate means of communication.
Immediately following execution of this Agreement, the parties
agree to begin working together to transfer responsibility for
incoming trouble calls from Legacy Customers to ONA. ONA will
provide Legacy Customers with a toll free phone number to use to
call ONA with trouble calls to place requests for service. The
parties agree to cooperate to make this transition as smooth and as
customer friendly as reasonably possible. Upon completion of this
process, ONA shall be completely responsible for the call tracking
process and shall cease providing MAI with call closure information
for the Legacy Customers. At that time, ONA will begin to provide
MAI with mutually defined reports summarizing its handling of
Legacy Customer calls.
(2) MAI shall continue to invoice its customers pursuant to the
Existing Customer Agreements and be responsible for the collection
of those invoices from its customers. As part of this function,
MAI will retain the authority to determine if and when service to a
particular customer should be terminated and it will notify ONA of
any such termination of service. Until receipt of such
notification from MAI, ONA shall continue to provide service to
customers as required by that customer's Existing Customer
Agreement and shall be entitled to be paid by MAI for such service
as provided by this Agreement.
Following execution of this Agreement, the parties agree to begin
working together to determine if it is practical and economical to
transfer responsibility for the billing of and collection from
Legacy Customers to ONA. Part of this process will be negotiation
of the amount MAI will pay ONA to assume these functions if the
parties decide to proceed with a transfer of these functions to
ONA.

DOCUMENT AND THE CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF EXHIBIT 10.1 HAVE BEEN FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION]
4. TRANSITION
The parties agree to work together to make the transfer of the service work
for Existing Customers from MAI to ONA as smooth as possible. As part of
this transition, MAI will provide ONA with access to its customer service
database and work with ONA to transfer the information in that database
into ONA's customer service database so that it will be in place and useable
by ONA on the Effective Date of this Agreement.
5. PAYMENT
a. For ONA's provision of Equipment Support under an Existing Customer
Agreement MAI will pay [**] The parties recognize that MAI may xxxx its
customers in advance for the Equipment Support being provided by ONA and
that it may recognize revenue incrementally as the support is provided.
Further, the parties recognize that MAI may establish a reserve for
non-payment which reserve shall be consistent with GAAP accounting
principles and shall be consistent with MAI's past collection experience
of its Existing Customer Agreements.
x. XXX will pay ONA the payment required pursuant to subparagraph (a),
above, monthly in arrears on or before the fifteenth day of each
month.ONA will not invoice MAI for these amounts.
c. ONA will provide MAI with such information as is necessary for MAI to
xxxx its customers for non-recurring Equipment Support provided by ONA,
such as Installation, Time and Materials, and Warranty Service.
d. Both parties shall have the right to audit the billing and collection
being done by the other related to this Agreement and each shall provide
the other with full access to its pertinent financial records for the
purpose of such audits. Such access shall be at a reasonable time
agreed upon in advance and shall include the right to make copies of
material records upon confirmation of materiality by the audited party.
All records produced and/or copied by the auditing party are deemed
Confidential and protected by the confidentiality provisions of this
Agreement. Any variations from previously reported figures disclosed by
such audits shall be settled between the parties by payment within
thirty (30) days of the discovery of such variation.

DOCUMENT AND THE CONFIDENTIAL PORTIONS OF EXHIBIT 10.1 HAVE BEEN FILED
SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION]
6. REVENUE BASED PAYMENT ADJUSTMENT
a. Adjustment. MAI has represented to ONA that, as of the Effective Date,
the Existing Customer Agreements are generating approximately [**] The
parties agree that if, during calendar years 1997, 1998, and 1999, the
actual revenue generated by the Existing Customer Agreements (the
"Actual Revenue") during a calendar quarter is less than the Target
Revenue, ONA's percentage of the revenue from the Existing Customer
Agreements shall be increased by [**] that the Actual Revenue is less
than the Target Revenue.
For example, if the Actual Revenue during the first full calendar
quarter of this Agreement is [**] MAI will at that time pay ONA the
difference between the amount MAI has paid ONA on Existing Customer
Agreement revenue during that calendar quarter at the [**] rate and what
it would have paid at the [**] rate.
Implementation. These changes in the revenue percentage, if any, will
be implemented by reviewing the Actual Revenue at the end of each full
calendar quarter during the contract term and adjusting the percentage
rate accordingly. This adjustment will be retroactive to the beginning
of that calendar quarter and any payments required to effectuate that
adjustment for the calendar quarter just ended will be made within ten
(10) business days. ONA's percentage of revenue during the following
calendar quarter will be based on the adjusted percentage rate, which
will then be re-evaluated and adjusted as necessary at the end of the
following calendar quarter.
b. Remanco. Revenue from MAI's agreement with Remanco International, Inc.
which has been assigned to ONA pursuant to a separate document has not
been included in the Target Revenue and shall not be considered for the
purposes of this Section of this Agreement.
7. PARTS
a. MAI will consign to ONA its current inventory of Parts being used by it
to perform Equipment Support pursuant to Existing Customer Agreements
(the "Consigned Parts"). MAI represents and warrants to ONA that this
inventory of Consigned Parts is adequate in size and mix to properly
perform the Equipment Support ONA will be providing for Existing
Customers as of the Effective Date of this Agreement.
Schedule F - 5 11/25/96
MAI Systems Corp.
30
b. ONA will be responsible for the physical transfer of the Consigned Parts
from MAI to ONA. MAI agrees to cooperate fully with ONA in order to
enable the smooth transfer of the Consigned Parts. Within 90 days of
the Effective Date, ONA will perform a physical inventory of the
Consigned Parts and provide MAI with a written list of the Consigned
Parts.
c. ONA will be responsible for maintaining the Consigned Parts in the
general condition and quantities as they were received from MAI. ONA
shall keep the Consigned Parts in such a manner so that they are
separately identifiable from ONA owned Parts. As the Consigned Parts
are used by ONA to perform Equipment Support, ONA shall replace them
with the exchanged part from the customer equipment, after first making
any necessary repairs to the exchanged part. Exchanged parts which are
not repairable shall be replaced by ONA. ONA will be subcontracting the
actual repair of the Consigned Parts to a third party and MAI hereby
consents to that subcontracting.
Amounts or types of Parts added to the Consigned Parts by ONA shall be
the property of ONA and shall not be delivered to MAI upon termination
of this Agreement.
Should it become impractical for ONA to obtain replacement parts (either
because they are not reasonably available or not reasonably affordable)
ONA shall not be required to replace unrepairable portions of the
Consigned Inventory and shall be relieved of its obligation to provide
Equipment Support to the extent it is prevented from doing so by this
inability to obtain replacement parts.
d. Upon termination of this Agreement, ONA will return the Consigned Parts
to MAI in the quantities and condition it received them from MAI,
ordinary wear and tear excepted.
e. ONA agrees that MAI may search all pertinent public records, file
financing statements, and take other necessary steps to protect MAI's
ownership of the Consigned Parts against claims of creditors and carry
out the purposes of this Agreement. ONA agrees to promptly execute and
deliver to MAI all financing statements and other documents necessary to
permit MAI to carry out such steps and otherwise cooperate with MAI's
efforts to protect its ownership of the Consigned Parts.
8. TOOLS
a. MAI will loan to ONA its current inventory of tools (including laptop
computers and diagnostic software) being used by its field engineer work
force or repair center to perform Equipment Support pursuant to Existing
Customer Agreements (the "Consigned Tools"). MAI represents and
warrants to ONA that this inventory of Consigned Tools is adequate in
size and mix to properly perform the Equipment Support ONA will be
providing for Existing Customers as of the Effective Date of this
Agreement. The Consigned Tools shall remain the property of MAI. ONA
will be
