This AGREEMENT, dated and effective as of the 1st day of August 1994, between
Xxxxx Systems Group, Inc. ("ASG"), a Delaware corporation, with offices at 000

a Delaware partnership, with offices at 0000 Xxxxx Xxxxxxxx Xxx, Xxxxxxxxx,
Xxxxxxxx 00000, sets forth the terms and conditions under which ASG will license
the Licensed Product(s) as specified herein.
LICENSE GRANT
In accordance with the terms and conditions of this agreement, ASG hereby agrees
to grant to Client, and Client hereby accepts from ASG a nonassignable,
nonexclusive and nontransferable license to use the proprietary software
system(s) including programs, options, technical and other documentation, data
and information (hereinafter referred to as "Licensed Product(s)") listed on the
attached Product Schedule(s) which forms a part of this Agreement in accordance
with the terms specified in the Product Schedule(s).
Client shall have the right to use the Licensed Product(s) solely for its own
internal use and benefit and only on the computer(s) and at the location(s)
designated in the attached Product Schedule(s). Client shall not transfer,
sublease, assign or deliver Licensed Product(s) or this License to another
computer or another location or provide or otherwise make Licensed Product(s)
available to anyone other than Client's personnel or do processing for the
benefit of any entity other than the Client, unless Client shall have obtained
ASG's prior written consent. Should Client change its computer to a higher
group, Client agrees to pay an upgrade fee equal to the then current perpetual
license fee of the new group less one hundred percent (100%) credit for previous
perpetual license fee(s) paid for the Licensed Product(s). Client is authorized
to use the Licensed Product(s) on a back-up computer when the designated
computer is temporarily inoperable until operable status is restored and
processing on the back-up computer is completed. More than one Product Schedule
may be incorporated into this Agreement and each Product Schedule together with
the terms and conditions of this Agreement shall constitute a separate Agreement
which is independent from other Product Schedules incorporated in this
Agreement.
LICENSED MATERIAL
Upon execution of this Agreement, ASG shall furnish Client one (1) full set of
the technical documentation, indicated on the Product Schedule(s), describing
ASG's recommended use and application of the Licensed Product(s). Additional
copies may be obtained by Client upon payment to ASG of ASG's published price
for such materials.
TERM
Each license granted hereunder shall become effective upon the date specified in
the Product Schedule(s) and shall remain in force for the term specified therein
unless terminated earlier as provided in this Agreement. The license shall be
automatically renewed for a like term unless Client or ASG gives written notice
of termination no less than thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the term
provided in this Agreement.
2
ACCEPTANCE PERIOD
Client shall have the number of days specified in the Product Schedule(s) to
evaluate and accept the Licensed Product, beginning on the date the Licensed
Product is received by Client. If during the acceptance period the Licensed
Product does not perform as specified in the user documentation supplied by ASG,
Client shall notify ASG in writing of its nonacceptance of the Licensed
Product(s), at which time the license for the Licensed Product(s) shall be
terminated. Client shall immediately destroy all copies of Licensed Product(s)
on Client's computer(s) and return all copies of Licensed Product(s) to ASG. ASG
shall refund to Client all license fees paid by Client to ASG for the
nonaccepted Licensed Product(s).
PAYMENT AND ANNUAL RENEWAL FEES
In consideration of the license provided by ASG to Client under the terms and
conditions contained herein, Client shall pay a license fee to ASG in accordance
with the appropriate Product Schedule(s). This notwithstanding, a Perpetual (99
year) Product License Agreement requires, in addition to the payment of the
license fee specified above, an annual license renewal fee to be paid annually
on the anniversary of the effective date specified in the Product Schedule(s).
The annual license renewal fee shall be a percentage of the then current license
fee.
All payments shall be due thirty (30) days after receipt of a proper invoice.
Invoices unpaid by Client within thirty (30) days of the date the payment is due
to ASG shall be subject to one and one half percent (1.5%) rate of interest per
month which shall be added to the license fee due and owing ASG.
The license fee does not include any taxes. Unless ASG is provided with a valid
tax exemption certificate, Client shall pay or promptly reimburse ASG for all
federal, state, local, foreign or other taxes of any kind whatsoever,
exclusive only of U.S. taxes based on ASG's net income, whether such taxes are
presently or hereafter imposed.
MAINTENANCE AND ENHANCEMENTS
ASG will provide Client for the term of the license all enhancements,
improvements, and updates to the Licensed Product(s) which ASG similarly
provides or offers to provide to its other clients of the Licensed Product(s).
ASG will correct errors or malfunctions in the Licensed Product(s) as supplied
for the term of this Agreement. If the Client notifies ASG of an error or
malfunction, which, after investigation by ASG, is determined to have been
caused by computer malfunction, or by an enhancement not made by ASG or by
incorrect data or procedures used by Client then Client shall pay ASG, at ASG's
rate then in effect, for all services rendered and costs incurred by ASG in
investigating or remedying such error or malfunction. All notices of error or
malfunctions shall be in writing and provide details sufficient to diagnose or
reproduce said failure. ASG has placed copies of source program statements
(including source code) of the Licensed Product(s) in escrow with Escrow
Services, Inc. ("ESI") for the nonexclusive benefit of Client in the event that
ASG, for any reason, shall cease doing business or cease to provide ongoing
support for the Licensed Product(s) with no successor in interest. At its
option, Client may obtain exclusive source code protection by subscribing to
ESI's Premier Registration Program by marking the appropriate box on the Product
Schedule.
3
WARRANTY
ASG represents and warrants that it is the owner or authorized licensee of the
Licensed Product(s). ASG further warrants that at the time of delivery of the
initial Licensed Product(s) and for a period of one (1) year thereafter,
Licensed Product(s) will be in substantial accordance with the user
documentation supplied to Client. The extent of ASG's liability under this
warranty shall be limited to the correction or replacement as soon as reasonably
practicable of any defective item(s) in the initial Licensed Product(s) which
ASG determines to be necessary at ASG's sole cost and expense, provided notice
of such defect is provided to ASG during the warranty period. The warranty shall
not apply if: (i) an item of Licensed Product(s) was not used in accordance with
ASG's instructions; (ii) an item of Licensed Product(s) shall have been altered,
modified or converted by Client without ASG's written approval; (iii) any of
Client's equipment shall malfunction causing the defect in Licensed Product(s).
THE FOREGOING WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED,
INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
In the event of a United States copyright or patent infringement claim as a
result of the use of Licensed Product(s) under the terms and conditions
specified herein, under normal use and not in combination with other items and
further provided that ASG is promptly notified of such claim in writing, then
ASG shall, at its own expense, defend such claim or may procure for Client the
right to continue using all or part of the Licensed Product(s) or may terminate
the license for the Licensed Product(s). In the event of a termination of the
Licensed Product(s), ASG will reimburse Client's initial fees on a pro rated
basis. This shall constitute the entire liability of ASG with respect to a
copyright or patent infringement claim.
Except with respect to its aforementioned obligations in connection with
copyright or patent infringement claims, ASG has no liability to Client for any
damages whatsoever. ASG shall in no event be liable for loss of profit,
goodwill, or other special, indirect or any consequential damages suffered by
Client or others in any way attributable to Client's use of the Licensed
Product(s). Client shall indemnify and hold harmless ASG from any claim by a
third party for any damage, liability, cost or expense incurred by ASG arising
out of or related to Client's use of the Licensed Product(s).
NONDISCLOSURE AND CONFIDENTIALITY
The Licensed Product(s) are, and shall at all times remain property of ASG, and
Client shall have no right, title, or interest therein, except as expressly set
forth in this Agreement. Client further acknowledges that the Licensed
Product(s) contain proprietary and confidential information of ASG (whether or
not any portion thereof may be validly copyrighted or patented). Client agrees
to keep Licensed Product(s) strictly confidential and will use all reasonable
care and take all necessary steps to ensure that no unauthorized persons shall
have access to the Licensed Product(s). And Client will take appropriate action,
by instruction, agreement or otherwise, with any persons permitted access to the
Licensed Product(s), including representatives of the Client(s) to restrict the
disclosure, duplication or reproduction of Licensed Product(s) so as to enable
Client to satisfy obligations hereunder. Client agrees not to reverse compile,
disassemble, or otherwise attempt to obtain the source code for Licensed
Product(s) except through ASG.
4
Client agrees that an enhancement to the Licensed Product(s) developed by ASG,
whether or not developed in conjunction with Client's employees or agents shall
be the exclusive property of ASG. Client further agrees that enhanced versions
of the Licensed Product(s) do not constitute a program different from the
Licensed Product(s), and as such, shall fall under the other terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
TERMINATION
This Agreement may be terminated by Client upon sixty (60) days written notice
to ASG of a material breach of the Software Licensing Agreement if ASG fails to
correct or cure said material breach prior to the expiration of said sixty (60)
day period. Upon condition that any monies payable by Client to ASG shall not be
affected by termination, ASG may terminate this Agreement upon sixty (60) days
prior written notice to Client in the event of Client's insolvency, nonpayment,
or breach of agreement, if Client fails to correct or cure said condition prior
to the expiration of said sixty (60) day period. The right of either party to
terminate this Agreement hereunder shall not be affected in any way by its
waiver of or failure to take action with respect to any previous default. Upon
termination of this Agreement, Client shall immediately return the Licensed
Product(s) and any copies thereof to ASG and shall certify (or deliver a
certification by a duly authorized officer of Client stating to ASG) that it no
longer has any rights to use the Licensed Product(s) and that the original and
all copies of the Licensed Product(s) have been returned to ASG.
