configured for the host name or IP address of the computer on which the
Burstware Conductor is installed.
"Burstware License Key" means the unique, encrypted software program
provided by Burst (only upon payment of the applicable license fees) that is

"Merger or Sale" shall mean a merger, acquisition or consolidation of
either party with, into or by any other corporation or corporations, or a sale
of all or substantially all of the assets of such party, resulting in the
stockholders of such party immediately prior to such transaction holding less
than a majority of the outstanding voting equity securities of the surviving
corporation in such merger, consolidation, acquisition or sale of assets

period of Burst's general release software.
2. GRANT OF LICENSE
2.1 Terms and Conditions. On the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
and upon payment of all applicable license fees, Burst grants to Eagle a
non-exclusive (except as set forth in Section 2.3 below), non-transferable
license to: (a) install and use Burstware in machine-readable, object code form
only in the configuration and to the scope identified in and enabled by the
Burstware License Key(s) provided by Burst; and (b) to deploy Eagle's Burstware
License across multiple servers and locations.
2.2 Effective Date. The term of the license will commence upon the earlier
of (i) Eagle's first commercial deployment of the Burstware software, or (ii)
January 1, 2002.
2.3 Exclusive Period. For a period of two (2) years from the effective date
of this Agreement, Eagle will be granted a license that provides for exclusivity
in the field-of-use: for fiber and wireless to the home market for broadband
services to gated residential communities, including multi-dwelling units (i.e.,
apartment complexes); and hospitality venues (i.e., hotel and motel complexes).
Except as expressly stated in this section, the license and rights granted under
this Agreement are non-exclusive, and nothing in this Agreement shall be
construed as granting to Eagle any exclusive rights with respect to any other
field of use.
2.4 Exclusivity Carve-Out. All existing customers with licenses covering
the field-of-use identified in paragraph 2.3 are grandfathered. Any parties with
whom Burst is currently
3
in negotiations for purposes of licensing, merger, acquisition, or an asset sale
as of January 31, 2001 are also grandfathered and covered by the language of
this exemption.
2.5 Extension of Exclusive Period. Eagle shall be entitled at its option to
extend the Exclusive Period for an additional twelve (12) months on the same
terms and conditions, provided Eagle purchases at least an additional $200,000
of client licenses during the initial 24-month term.
2.6 Licensed Territory. The United States and its territories and
possessions.
2.7 License Fees. The initial Burstware license term of 12 months will be
extended to 24 months. In consideration of the extended license term granted
herein, Eagle will prepay to Burst a non-refundable and non-creditable license
fee of $250,000.
2.8 Form of Payment. The initial license fee will be paid in the form of
130,000 shares of "free trading" common stock of Xxxxxxxxxx.xxx, Inc., an
American Stock Exchange company with ticker symbol "CLW." Said common stock will
convert to 104,600 shares of freely tradable Eagle stock on January 31, 2001,
the closing date of the acquisition of Clearworks by Eagle. Said stock transfer
and merger transaction are defined more fully in the Securities Purchase
Agreement dated January 30, 2001 and attached as Exhibit A. 1.7 Payment.
Software fees under the initial license term shall be due and payable on the
date of the signing of this Agreement in Clearworks common stock and converted
into Eagle common stock as described in Exhibit A. Additional client license
fees shall be paid in cash due within thirty (30) days following the date upon
which the key is delivered.
2.10 Annual Renewal. Upon expiration of the initial 24-month term, the
license will be renewable annually for a fee equal to 30% of the initial cost of
the client licenses being renewed.
2.11 Waiver of Annual Renewal. In the event of a Burst merger or asset sale
prior to the end of Eagle's 144 holding period or the effective date of an S-1
registration of Burst common stock (stock received in exchange for an investment
in Burst, see, attached Exhibit A), Eagle's Burst shares will be, at Eagle's
option, liquidated for a value equal to the value received by owners of
freely-tradable Burst common stock. If the liquidation value of Burst stock is
less than $0.50, Eagle's Burst license will be extended an additional (12)
months at no additional cost to Eagle.
2.12 Renewal of License Upon Acquisition of Xxxxx.Xxx. If Burst or its
assets are acquired during the term of Eagle's software license, and if
Burstware technology is subsequently embodied in a new software package marketed
by the acquiring company, Eagle will be accorded a license to the new software
under terms substantially similar to the terms of the initial Burstware license
at no additional cost to Eagle.
2.13 Documentation. Burst grants to Eagle a non-exclusive license to use
the Documentation in connection with Eagle's use of the Licensed Software.
4
2.14 Limitation on Use. Eagle understands and acknowledges that use of the
Licensed Software is controlled by the Burstware License Key. Eagle may not use
the Licensed Software beyond the scope enabled by the Burstware License Key
provided by Burst to Eagle upon payment of the applicable license fee. The
Licensed Software functions as three separate programs, the Burstware Conductor,
Burstware Server, and Burstware Player, that operates cooperatively. Eagle may
install and use only the number of copies of the Burstware Conductor and
Burstware Server software specifically enabled by the Burstware License Key
provided to Eagle by Burst. Eagle may install an unlimited number of copies of
the Burstware Player software for use by Eagle, provided Eagle does not receive
any direct payment for doing so, but may simultaneously use only the number of
copies of the Burstware Player specifically enabled by the Burstware License Key
provided to Eagle by Burst. Eagle may not modify or alter the Licensed Software
or Burstware License Key to increase the scope of its use of the Licensed
Software. Further, Eagle may not use any device, process or computer program
that increases, directly or indirectly, the scope of use of the Licensed
Software enabled by the Burstware License Key provided to Eagle by Burst. If
Eagle wishes to increase the scope of its licensed use of the Licensed Software,
Eagle must purchase an additional Burstware License Key from Burst.
2.15 Back-Up Copies. Eagle may make one copy of the Licensed Software
solely for the back-up or archival purposes, provided that such copy must
contain all proprietary notices affixed to or appearing in the original copy.
2.16 Sun Microsystems Java(TM) Runtime Environment Provisions. Eagle may
not modify the Java Platform Interface ("JPI", identified as classes contained
with the "java" package or any sub packages of the "java" package), by creating
additional classes within the JPI or otherwise causing the addition to or
modification of the classes in the JPI. In the event that Eagle creates any
Java-related API and distributes such API to others for application development,
Eagle must promptly publish broadly, an accurate specification for such API for
free use by all developers of Java-based software.
2.17 Hazardous Environments. The Licensed Software is not designed or
intended for use in online control equipment in environments requiring fail-safe
performance, such as the operation of nuclear facilities, aircraft communication
or control systems or life support systems, in which software failure could lead
to personal injury or severe property or environmental damage. Eagle warrants
that it will not use or allow the use of the Licensed Software for such purposes
2.18 Notification of Errors. In the event that Eagle discovers any errors,
bugs or other irregularity in the Licensed Software, Eagle shall promptly notify
Burst of each such error, bug or irregularity. For the one (1) year period
following the Effective Date, Burst will provide Eagle with all bug fixes and
error corrections that may be developed by Burst for the Licensed Software.
3. PRICING and TAXES
3.1 Pricing. The prices payable by Eagle to Burst on a per client basis for
the initial software license will be an amount equal to $25.00 per client up to
10,000 clients.

Additional Clients Price Per Client
--------------------------------- ------------------------------------
10,000 - 15,000 $20.00

--------------------------------- ------------------------------------
25,000 + $5.00
--------------------------------- ------------------------------------
3.3 Taxes. With the sole exception of taxes based on Burst's net income,
Eagle shall pay all sales, use, excise, value added or other taxes that may
arise out of Eagle's installation or use of the Licensed Software.
4. OWNERSHIP AND USE RESTRICTIONS
4.1 Ownership. Eagle acknowledges that the Licensed Software, all
enhancements, corrections and modifications to the Licensed Software, all
copyrights, patents, trade secrets, or trademarks or other intellectual property
rights protecting or pertaining to any aspect of the Licensed Software (or any
enhancements, corrections or modifications) and the Documentation, are and shall
remain the sole and exclusive property of Burst and, where applicable, Burst's
suppliers. This Agreement does not convey title or ownership to Eagle, but
instead gives Eagle only the limited rights set forth in Sections 1 and 2. Burst
reserves all rights not expressly granted by this Agreement.
4.2 Joint Ownership. Subject to negotiation and reasonable business and
legal consideration, Burst and Eagle agree to jointly file patent applications
covering inventions embodying intellectual property and know-how of the two
companies that may result from Eagle's development of unique applications of the
Licensed Software.
4.3 Software Development or Customization. Burst agrees to use its best
efforts to accommodate all Eagle requests for custom enhancements to Burstware,
provided that Eagle shall be responsible for all costs incurred by Burst in
making the modifications. Such work is to be billed at Burst's actual cost plus
30%.
4.4 Restrictions. Except as expressly authorized in this Agreement, Eagle
may not: (i) use, make, sublicense, rent, lease, sell, display, distribute or
copy originals or copies of the Licensed Software, or to permit anyone else to
do so; (ii) modify, create derivative works of, reverse engineer, unencrypt,
decompile, disassemble or otherwise translate the Licensed Software or allow
anyone else to do so (except and only to the extent that such activity is
expressly permitted by applicable law notwithstanding this limitation); (iii)
remove any patent, copyright or trademark or other intellectual property notices
that may appear on any part of the Licensed Software or the documentation; and
(iv) assign or transfer its rights under this Agreement or its rights to the
Licensed Software without the prior written consent of Burst.
6
Upon any such transfer or assignment, Eagle must transfer all copies of the
Licensed Software and assignee must agree in writing to all the terms of this
Agreement.
4.5 Transfer. Neither party may assign or transfer its rights under this
Agreement or its rights to the Licensed Software without the prior written
consent of the other party. Upon any such transfer or assignment on the part of
Eagle, Eagle must transfer all copies of the Licensed Software and Documentation
and assignee must agree in writing to all the terms of this Agreement. Upon any
such transfer or assignment on the part of Burst, the Transferee shall honor all
the terms of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, each party may
transfer its rights under this Agreement without the consent of the other party
in connection with a Sale or change of control of such party; provided however,
that the acquiring party shall be bound by the terms of this Agreement.
4.6 Proprietary Notices. Eagle shall not remove any patent, copyright or
trademark or other intellectual property notices that may appear on any part of
the Licensed Software or the Documentation.
4.7 Trade Secrets. Eagle acknowledges that the Licensed Software, in its
source code form, contains valuable trade secrets belonging to Burst. Eagle may
not reverse engineer, unencrypt, decompile, disassemble or otherwise translate
the Licensed Software or allow anyone else to do so.
4.8 Audit Rights. Eagle authorizes Burst or its designee to audit its
compliance with this Agreement, as Burst deems reasonable.
4.9 Notice to Employees and Agents. Eagle will use commercially reasonable
efforts to inform its employees, agents and others using the Licensed Software
under this Agreement that it may not be used, copied or transferred in violation
of this Agreement.
4.10 Irreparable Harm. Eagle acknowledges that money damages may not be an
adequate remedy for any breach or violation of any requirement set forth in
Section 4 of this Agreement and that any such breach or violation may leave
Burst without an adequate remedy at law. Eagle therefore agrees that, in
addition to any other remedies available at law, in equity or under this
Agreement, Burst shall be entitled to obtain temporary, preliminary and
permanent injunctive relief, without bond, from a court of competent
jurisdiction to restrain any such breach or violation.
5. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
Except as set forth in this Agreement, Eagle is not entitled to any maintenance
or support for the Licensed Software or any upgrades or enhancements under this
Agreement.
6. LIMITED WARRANTY
6.1 Ownership. Burst warrants that it owns or has the right and authority
to license the Licensed Software or Documentation to Eagle on the terms and
conditions of this Agreement.
7
6.2 Media and Documentation. Burst warrants that if the Licensed Software's
media or Documentation is in a damaged or physically defective condition at the
time it is delivered to Eagle, and if it is returned to Burst (postage prepaid)
within ninety (90) days of delivery, Burst will provide Eagle with replacements
at no charge.
6.3 Licensed Software. Burst warrants that, in the form delivered to Eagle
by Burst, the Licensed Software shall perform substantially in accordance with
the Documentation for ninety (90) days after delivery to Eagle. Burst's warranty
is conditioned upon: (a) the use of the Licensed Software in accordance with the
Documentation and other instructions provided by Burst and shall be null and
void if Eagle alters or modifies the Licensed Software without Burst's prior
written approval, does not use the Licensed Software in accordance with the
Documentation and Burst's instructions, or if the Licensed Software fails
because of any accident, abuse or misapplication; and (b) Eagle notifying Burst
in writing of the claimed nonconformity within ninety (90) days after delivery
of the Licensed Software to Eagle. As Burst's sole liability and Eagle's sole
remedy respecting the Licensed Software's nonconformance with the limited
warranty set forth in this Section 6.3, Burst may at its option: (i) use
reasonable efforts to correct the Licensed Software to make it conform
substantially with the specifications set forth in the Documentation; (ii)
replace the Licensed Software; or (iii) upon return of the Licensed Software and
Documentation to Burst, refund the license fees paid by Eagle under this
Agreement and terminate this Agreement. BURST DOES NOT REPRESENT OR WARRANT THAT
THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL OPERATE PROPERLY WITH OTHER HARDWARE OR SOFTWARE,
THAT THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL MEET EAGLE'S REQUIREMENTS OR EXPECTATIONS, OR
THAT OPERATION OF THE LICENSED SOFTWARE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR-FREE.

ADVISED OR IS OTHERWISE IN FACT AWARE OF ANY SUCH PURPOSE) OR CONDITIONS OF
TITLE OR NONINFRINGEMENT WHETHER ALLEGED TO ARISE BY OPERATION OF LAW, BY REASON
OF CUSTOM OR USAGE IN THE TRADE OR BY COURSE OF DEALING. BURST ALSO EXPRESSLY
DISCLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OR REPRESENTATION TO ANY PERSON OTHER
