each Purchase Order. "Documentation" - installation instructions and user
manuals. "MACHINE" - a hardware system with any number of processors running a

applicable to the relevant copy of the Program. "PRICE LIST" - Sybase's then
current price list for the country in which the Program is to be Used. "Primary
Copy" - a licensed copy of the Program provided by Sybase, which may have been
provided initially as a trial copy. "PROGRAM" - the object code version of the
software product(s) listed in the Exhibit A or Purchase Order, together with all
data files included by Sybase. "PURCHASE ORDER" - a purchase order or other

2. LICENSE
2.1 Sybase grants to Customer, solely for customer's own internal
business purposes, a non-exclusive, nontransferable, perpetual, fully paid
license to Use each Primary Copy (and made and Use each Secondary Copy) on one
Machine running the Operating System Software at the site specified on the
Exhibit A or Purchase Order. If such license is designated as a NETWORKED
LICENSE, each copy of the Program may be accessed by any and all Seats or Named
Users that are licensed to access such Program subject to the following
restrictions: (i) Workplace Seats and Workplace Named Users licensed to access a
particular Program may only access the workplace level of such Program, and (ii)
Enterprise Seats and Enterprise Named Users licensed to access a particular
Program may access the Workplace and Enterprise levels of such Program.
Accordingly, Seats and Named Users in a Networked Licensed are not tied to a
particular copy of the Program. Use of software or hardware which reduces the
number of Seats directly accessing the Programs (sometime called "multiplexing"
or "pooling") does not reduce the number of Seats required to be licensed, but
rather the number of licensed Seats must be equal to the number of distinct
inputs to the multiplexing software or hardware. If the license is designated as
a STANDALONE NAMED USER LICENSE, the Program may be Used only by one
2
Named User, but such Named User may copy and Use such Program on more than one
Machine. If the license is designated as a STANDALONE SEAT LICENSE, the copy of
the Program may only be accessed by he Machine on which it resides. A license
for a copy of a Program will allow Customer to Use the indicated version or
instead any earlier version for which Customer already has a Primary Copy. If
Customer's Support plan entitles Customer to updates (i.e., new version of the
Program), the license shall also extend to each new version provided. If a
Run-Time Program is licensed, the Program may only be Used to run Customer's
applications but cannot be Used to (i) develop or modify applications, or (ii)
perform other programming tasks.
2.2 Customer may make a reasonable number of copies of each Program
exclusively for inactive back-up or archival purposes.
2.3 The Program and all copies (in whole or part) shall remain the
exclusive property of Sybase and its licensors. Customer shall not modify,
reverse engineer, reverse assembly or reverse compile any Program or part
thereof, except Customer may modify data file portions of the Program as
described in the user manuals. Customer shall not Use the Program in a service
bureau or time-sharing arrangement nor distribute, rent, lease or transfer the
Program to any third party.
2.4 Upon Sybase's receipt of Customer's Purchase Order, Sybase shall
deliver the Primary Copy and one set of Documentation to Customer. Customer, at
its own expense, shall be responsible for installing the Program and all new
versions thereof.
2.5 For its own use, Customer may make copies of the Documentation
delivered by Sybase or nay purchase copies at the prices in the Price List.
2.6 No more often than annually, Sybase may, upon reasonable notice and
at its expense, direct an accounting firm acceptable to Customer to audit during
business hours the number of copies of the Program in Use and the number of
Seats and/or Named Users accessing the Programs. The auditors shall protect the
confidentiality of Customer's information and abide by Customer's reasonable
security regulations. If the use of the Program is found to be greater than that
contracted for, Customer will be invoiced for the additional copies, Seats,
Named Users or processors at the prices in the Price List.
2.7 Subject to acceptance by Sybase, consulting or educational services
provided to Customer will be subject to the terms of this Agreement unless
otherwise agreed in writing. Educational services are provided at Sybase
designated facilities.
3. PAYMENT
3.1 Payment is due to Sybase or its assigns within 30 calendar days
after the invoice date. Customer will pay all applicable shipping charges and
sales, use, personal property or similar taxes, tariffs or governmental charges,
exclusive of Sybase's income and corporate franchise taxes. Customer will
reimburse Sybase for all reasonable costs incurred (including reasonable
attorneys' fees) in collecting past due amounts.
3.2 Except with respect to specific Programs designated by Sybase,
Customer must purchase a technical support plan ("Support") for the first year
for all Programs licensed.
2
3
Support commences on the date the Primary Copy is shipped to Customer or on the
date invoiced for Secondary Copies ("the Support Date"). Fees for annual Support
("Support Fees") shall be paid in advance. Unless Support has been purchased for
such copies or new versions have been separately licensed, no new versions of
the Program will be provided to Customer for the Primary Copy and no new
versions may be copied by Customer to update Secondary Copies. Support may be
extended for one year periods on the anniversary of each Support Date at the
Support Fees shown in the Price List for as long as Sybase offers Support.
Customer may reinstate lapsed support for any then currently supported Program
by paying all Support Fees in arrears and all time and travel expenses incurred
in updating the Program to the current version.
4. SUPPORT AND TECHNICAL SERVICES
Provided Customer has paid applicable Support Fees, Sybase shall support the
Program as follows. Customer shall designate as technical support contacts that
number of Customer employees as are permitted under the level of Support
purchased. Each contact may telephone Sybase for problem resolution during
Sybase's published support hours corresponding to the level of Support Fees
paid. Upon notice from a contact of a Program problem (which problem can be
reproduced at a Sybase support facility or via remote access to Customer's
facility), Sybase shall use reasonable efforts to correct or circumvent the
problem. Sybase reserves the right to make Program corrections only to the most
current generally available version. For 12 months after the introduction of a
new generally available enhancement release, Sybase will use reasonable efforts
to support the previously released version of such Program. A Program may be
transferred to another site or operating system software only upon written
notice to Sybase and subject to Sybase's transfer policies and fees then in
effect. A Program may be transferred without cost or notice from one Machine to
another at the same site if the second Machine runs the same Operation System
Software as the first Machine. Sybase shall have no obligation to support the
program (i) for Use on any computer system running other than the Operating
System Software, or (ii) if Customer modifies the Program in breach of this
Agreement. Only those versions of different cooperating Programs specified in
the Documentation will execute correctly together on a CPU or in a network.
Sybase has no obligation to modify any version of the Program to run with new
versions of the Operating Systems Software. If Customer purchases Support for
any Program in Use on a Machine or in a network, it must purchase the same level
of Support for all copies of such Program on such Machine or network.
5. CONFIDENTIALITY
5.1 "Confidential Information," which includes the Program (including
methods or concepts utilized therein) and all information identified by the
disclosing party as proprietary or confidential, shall remain the sole property
of the disclosing party and shall not be disclosed to any third party without
the express written consent of the disclosing party (except solely for
Customer's internal business needs, to consultants who are bound by a written
agreement with Customer to maintain the confidentiality of such Confidential
Information in a manner consistent with this Agreement). Except with respect to
the Program, items will not be deemed Confidential Information if (i) available
to the public other than by a breach of an agreement with Sybase; (ii)
rightfully received from a third party not in breach of any obligation of
confidentiality; (iii) independently developed by one party without access to
the Confidential Information of the other; (iv) known to the recipient at the
time of disclosure; or (v) produced in
3
4
compliance with applicable law or a court order, provided the other party is
given reasonable notice of such law or order. A copyright notice on a Program
does not, by itself, constitute evidence of publication or public disclosure.
Customer shall not release the results of any benchmark of the Programs to any
third party without the prior written approval of Sybase for each such release.
6. INFRINGEMENT INDEMNITY
Sybase at its own expense shall (i) defend, or at its option settle, any claim
or suit against customer on the basis of infringement of any trademark,
copyright, trade secret or United States patent ("Intellectual Property Rights")
by the Program or Use thereof, and (ii) pay any final judgment entered against
Customer on such issue or any settlement thereof, provided (a) Sybase has sole
control of the defense and/or settlement; (b) Customer notifies Sybase promptly
in writing of each such claim or suit and gives Sybase all information known to
Customer relating thereto, and (c) Customer cooperates with Sybase in the
settlement and/or defense. (Customer shall be reimbursed for all reasonable
out-of-pocket expenses incurred in providing any cooperation requested by
Sybase.) If all or any part of the Program is, or in the opinion of Sybase may
become, the subject of any claim or suit for infringement of any Intellectual
Property Rights, Sybase may, and in the event of any adjudication that the
Program or any part thereof does infringe or if the Use of the Program or any
part thereof is enjoined, Sybase shall, at its expense do one of the following
things: (1) procure for Customer the right to Use the Program or the affected
part thereof; (2) replace the Program or affected part with other suitable
programs; (3) modify the Program or affected part to make it noninfringing; or
(4) if none of the foregoing remedies are commercially feasible, refund the
aggregate payments made by Customer for the Program or the affected part
thereof. Sybase shall have no obligations under this Section 6 to the extent a
claim is based upon (A) use of any version of the Program other than a current,
unaltered version, if infringement would have been avoided by a current,
unaltered version; or (B) combination, operation or use of the Program with
software and/or hardware not delivered by Sybase if such infringement could have
been avoided by combination, operation or use of the Program with other software
and/or hardware. This Section 6 states the entire liability of Sybase and the
exclusive remedy of Customer with respect to any alleged infringement by the
Program or any part thereof.
7. PROPRIETARY NOTICES
The Programs and related documentation are proprietary and protected by
copyright and/or trade secret law. All proprietary notices incorporated in or
fixed to a Program or documentation shall be duplicated by Customer on all
copies or extracts thereof and shall not be altered, removed or obliterated.
8. WARRANTY/LIMITATIONS ON LIABILITY
8.1 For one year form the date of shipment of a version of the Program
to Customer, Sybase warrants that the version when property Used will operate in
all material respects in conformity with the Documentation for such version, and
the Program media shall be free of defects. Customer's sole remedy in the even
of nonconformity of a Program at Sybase's option
4
5
will be replacement of the defective Programs or a refund of the license fees
paid for the affected Program.
8.2 NO OTHER WARRANTY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, IS MADE REGARDING THE
PROGRAM, GOODS OR SERVICES TO BE SUPPLIED HEREUNDER, INCLUDING WITHOUT
LIMITATION ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE. NO WARRANTY IS MADE REGARDING THE RESULTS OF ANY PROGRAM OR SERVICES OR
THAT ALL ERRORS IN THE PROGRAM WILL BE CORRECTED, OR THAT THE PROGRAM'S
FUNCTIONALITY WILL MEET CUSTOMER'S REQUIREMENTS. CUSTOMER ACKNOWLEDGES ITS
RESPONSIBILITY TO (I) REGULARLY BACK UP DATA MAINTAINED ON ANY COMPUTER SYSTEM
USING THE PROGRAM, AND (II) ADEQUATELY TEST PRIOR TO DEPLOYMENT EACH PRODUCTION
VERSION OF THE PROGRAM IN A CONFIGURATION WHICH REASONABLY SIMULATES CUSTOMER'S
PLANNED PRODUCTION ENVIRONMENT.
8.3 THE TOTAL LIABILITY, IF ANY, OF SYBASE AND ITS SUBSIDIARIES,
INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF CONTRACT, TORT, BREACH OR
WARRANTY, CLAIMS BY THIRD PARTIES OR OTHERWISE, SHALL NOT IN ANY EVENT EXCEED
THE LICENSE FEES PAID BY CUSTOMER FOR THE PROGRAM(S) WHICH GIVE RISE TO THE
CLAIM. SYBASE'S LICENSORS SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR DIRECT DAMAGE HEREUNDER, AND
NEITHER SYBASE NOR ANY OF ITS SUBSIDIARIES OR LICENSORS SHALL BE LIABLE FOR LOSS
OF PROFITS, LOSS OR INACCURACY OF DATA, OR INDIRECT, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, EVEN IS SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
SUCH DAMAGES.
9. TERMINATION
Sybase may terminate a license if Customer has not paid the license fees
therefore within 15 calendar days after written notice that payment is past due.
Either party may terminate this Agreement upon any other material breach of this
Agreement by the other party, which if remediable, has not been corrected within
60 calendar days after written notice. On termination, all licenses granted
hereunder shall terminate, Customer shall cease Using the Program and
Documentation (whether or not modified or merged into other materials) and
Customer shall certify in writing to Sybase that all copies (in any form or
media) have been destroyed or returned to Sybase. Termination shall not relieve
Customer from paying all fees accruing prior to termination and shall not limit
either party form pursuing any other available remedies. Sections 5, 6, 8.2,
8.3, 9 and 10.3 shall survive termination of this Agreement.
10. GENERAL

(whether by operation of law or otherwise) by Customer without Sybase's prior
written consent, not to be unreasonably withheld.
5
6

supersedes all previous and contemporaneous communications, representations, or
agreements regarding the subject matter hereof. A facsimile of a signed copy of
this Agreement received from Customer may be relied upon as an original and if
there is any inconsistency between such facsimile and a subsequently received
hard copy, the facsimile shall prevail. This Agreement may be modified only in a
writing signed by both parties. Purchase Orders shall be binding as to: the
products and services ordered, fees therefore and the site for installation or
performance of services as set forth on the face side of or a special attachment
to the order. Other terms and preprinted terms on or attached to any Purchase
Order shall be void.

under U.S. law, unless prior written authorization is obtained from the
appropriate U.S. agency.
10.4 No delay or default in performance of any obligation by either
party, excepting all obligations to make payments, shall constitute a breach of
this Agreement to the extent caused by force majeure.
10.5 All notices relating to this Agreement shall be in writing and
delivered by overnight delivery service or first class prepaid mail with return
receipt requested, to the address of such party specified above (in the case of

DFARS 252.227-7013(c)(ii) for Department of Defense contracts. Sybase reserves
all unpublished rights under the United States copyright laws.
10.7 THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED UNDER THE LAWS OF
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA EXCLUDING ITS CONFLICT OF LAWS RULES. IT SHALL NOT BE
GOVERNED BY THE UNITED NATIONS CONVENTION ON THE INTERNATIONAL SALE OF GOODS,
THE APPLICATION OF WHICH IS EXPRESSLY EXCLUDED. CUSTOMER SUBMITS TO THE
JURISDICTION OF THE STATE AND FEDERAL COURTS FOR THE COUNTY OF ALAMEDA WITHIN
THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
unenforceable, the parties shall substitute for the affected provision an
enforceable provision which approximates the intent and economic effect of the
affected provision. The failure or delay by either party to enforce any term of
this Agreement shall not be deemed a waiver of such term.

INTERNET ACCESS LICENSE ADDENDUM
(EXTERNAL USE VIA THE INTERNET)
This INTERNET ACCESS LICENSE ADDENDUM is made as of ________________,
1999___, and amends that certain Software License Agreement dated
______________, 19__ (the "Agreement") between Sybase, Inc. or Sybase Canada
Limited ("Sybase") and ______________________________________________________
("Customer"). Capitalized terms not otherwise defined in this Addendum shall
have the same meanings set forth in the Agreement.
1. Each copy of a Program licensed by Customer for which a
corresponding Internet Access License has been purchased (together, the
"Internet Products") may be accessed by "External Internet Seats" as outlined in
Section 2 below, provided that Customer has paid the applicable CPU fees for
each processor on the Workplace, Enterprise or Super Enterprise level Machine on
which such Internet Products are used.
2. Customer may use the Internet Products in connection with an
Internet website, and may allow an unlimited number of External Internet Seats
to indirectly access such Internet Products. "External Internet Seats" shall
mean Seats which access the Internet Products via the Internet; provided that
the person at such Seat is not acting in the capacity of an employee, agent or
independent contractor of Customer. External Internet Seats may query the
Internet Products database and update such database to the extent allowed by
Customer's application, but may not use the Internet Products to develop or
modify applications or perform other programming tasks. The limited use
authorized above shall not be deemed to violate the restrictions set forth in
the last sentence of Section 2.3 of the Agreement.
3. Nothing in this Addendum authorizes Customer to use the Internet
Products in connection with a website hosted by Customer on behalf of third
parties. In addition, this Addendum does not cover intranet usage or other
internal usage and Customer must acquire the necessary Seat licenses for all
internal usage of the Internet Products in accordance with the Agreement.
Except as amended above, the Agreement shall remain in full force and effect.
