subject of a claim of infringement, Licensor may, at its sole option and
expense, either: (a) obtain for Licensee the right to continue using the
Software; (b) replace or modify the Software so that it becomes non-infringing;
or (c) remove the Software or part thereof, and refund the aggregate license
payments paid by Licensee, less a pro rata amount equal to the purchase price of

of months that have passed since the delivery of the Software, and the
denominator is sixty (60).
b. Limitation of Indemnification. Notwithstanding the provisions of
Section 9a above, the indemnity set forth therein shall not apply to, and
Licensor assumes no liability for, any claims of infringement made by any third
party to the extent that such claim relates to (i) use of other than an
unaltered release of the Software; or (ii) the combination, operation or use of
the Software with non-Licensor programs, data, methods or technology if such
infringement would have been avoided without the combination, operation or use
of the Software with other programs, data, methods or technology or (iii)
services performed using the Software, or modifications or derivatives works of
the Software for
Page 5
Licensee by a third party independent consultant not contracted by Licensor if

12. YEAR 2000 COMPLIANCE
Licensor warrants the Software being acquired hereunder as well as any
new Version or Revision, is Year 2000 Compliant (hereafter "Year 2000
Compliant"), which shall mean all calendar year representations used within the
Software which, when operated on (including, but not limited to, arithmetic,
comparison and sorting operations) before, during and after the actual calendar
year 2000 A.D. shall not produce subsequent operations and/or generated output
which yield results in variance with the normal course of operations of the
Software or error conditions which are the direct result of the use of a
calendar year representation. Additionally, Licensor warrants that the Software
will correctly process calendar dates for Leap Year, which is defined as a year
during which an extra day is added in February (February 29th). Leap Year occurs
in all years divisible by 400 or evenly divisible by 4 and not evenly divisible
by 100. For example, 1996 is a Leap Year since it is divisible by 4 and not
evenly divisible by 100. The year 2000 is a Leap Year since it is divisible by
400. In the event of a need for modification of the Software to operate properly
for Year 2000 and beyond, Licensor will incur all expenses for such programming
and software changes to the Software under this Agreement.
13. VIRUS/BACKDOOR
Licensor warrants and represents that the Software shall contain no
routine, program, "virus" or code which has been intentionally designed or
created to: (a) allow unauthorized access to, or use of, the Software by any
agent or employee of Licensor or by any third party; or (b) cause the Software
or other program or programs to malfunction; or (c) allow unauthorized access
to, or use of, Licensee's network computing environment, individual client
computers or any other computing resource, by any agent or employee of Licensor
or any third party. Licensor agrees to indemnify and hold Licensee harmless from
any claims, damages, causes of action, costs and expenses arising out of or
related to any breach of the warranty set forth in this Section 13.
14. GENERAL PROVISIONS
a. Installation. Licensor shall install the Software based on a mutually
agreed upon schedule, subject to Licensor's fees for installation as described
in Exhibit A herein. Licensee agrees that if Licensee culpably delays the
agreed-upon installation schedule through no fault of Licensor (e.g., the
hardware is not there, or is not configured correctly and ready for Licensor to
install the Software), and Licensor is on Licensee's physical site, ready to
install the Software, and the delay extends for one day or more, that in
addition to the fee for installation, Licensee shall pay Licensor's consulting
fee for those days spent as a direct result of Licensee's delay, in excess of
those days originally scheduled for the installation, at Licensor's then current
prices. In addition, Licensee agrees to reimburse Licensor for all reasonable
travel, accommodation, and meal expenses for those days spent as a direct result
of Licensee's delay, in excess of those days originally scheduled for the
installation. Licensee acknowledges that a delay of one day or more may cause
Licensor to reschedule the installation, and that upon successful completion,
the full fee as described in Exhibit A herein for the rescheduled installation
will be payable under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.

party agrees in writing to be bound by all terms and conditions of this
Agreement.
Page 7
In the case of transfer of all or substantially all of Licensee's assets
or stock to an entity that prior to the Effective Date of this Agreement held no
controlling interest in Licensee, it is understood that Licensor has no
obligation with regard to the extension of discounts in pricing for any and all
additional purchases of either Software licenses, maintenance or services, to
those operations of the acquiring or new controlling entity's businesses or
operations beyond or outside the scope of the businesses or operations
contemplated by this Agreement, and that subject to negotiation, all such
additional purchases shall be made at Licensor's then current list prices.

and all consulting services performed or to be performed by Licensor for
Licensee are independent of Licensee's purchase, acceptance and use of the
Software. Licensee further agrees that payment under the terms and conditions of
this Agreement for all elements set forth on Exhibit A is in no way dependent,
coupled, or in any other way associated with the commencement, completion or
delivery of consulting services.

the laws of Germany (especially Sections 631 ff. BGB). Remove reference to BGB
law pursuant to resolution of warranty issue. Each party hereby agrees that any
action arising out of or related to this Agreement must be brought exclusively
to the court of Gutersloh. Licensee reserves the right to xxx Company at its
registered place of business. This Agreement will not be governed by the United
Nations Convention of Contracts for the International Sale of Goods, the
application of which is expressly excluded.
h. Severability. If any of the provisions of this Agreement are held to
be invalid under any applicable statute or rule of law, they are, to that
extent, deemed omitted.
