NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises and the terms, conditions and covenants of this Agreement, the parties hereby agree as follows.
1. DEFINITIONS
1.1 "Confidential Information" shall have the same meaning as the term is defined in the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated May 10, 2001, between CorpSoft and Intraware, subject to Section 10.1 below.
1.2 "Qualified Customer" shall mean a customer who has been evaluated by the Director of CorpSoft Accounts Receivable or a designee and approved for business, based on written standards which are provided to Intraware, are reasonable, and impose restrictions no more stringent than those which apply to customer qualification in CorpSoft's software reselling business.
1.3 "Qualified Order" shall mean an order from a Qualified Customer for iPlanet that meets the terms of the CorpSoft's standard written order acceptance policy, which policy shall be provided to Intraware, shall be reasonable, and shall impose restrictions no more stringent than those which apply to order acceptance in any other area of CorpSoft's business.
1.4 "Territory" shall mean the same geographic area as is set forth in the iPlanet Agreement.
2. SCOPE
2.1 Intraware has experience and expertise in the sale of Sun Microsystems ("Sun") iPlanet E-Commerce Solutions products ("iPlanet") and, as a result, has an established base of end user iPlanet customers and iPlanet customer prospects in the Territory. Subject to the success of the relationship contemplated hereby, Intraware currently intends to phase out of the business of reselling iPlanet. CorpSoft intends to enter into a reseller agreement ("iPlanet Agreement") with Sun authorizing CorpSoft to market and resell iPlanet, and to the extent applicable, successor products to iPlanet, in the Territory.
2.2 CorpSoft agrees to retain the services of Intraware's sales representatives to obtain purchase orders for iPlanet to Qualified Customers in the Territory as set forth herein. Intraware will refer its existing iPlanet customers and all of its iPlanet customer prospects to CorpSoft. For the duration of this Agreement, it is the intention of CorpSoft and Intraware that each party benefit and share equally in the operating profits and losses (as specified in the "Operating Income" line in Exhibit C hereto) resulting from the sales alliance herein.

2.3 CorpSoft agrees that Intraware shall be its exclusive third party sales organization for iPlanet and Intraware agrees to sell iPlanet exclusively for the benefit of CorpSoft. The preceding sentence shall not be construed to restrict CorpSoft from selling iPlanet directly through its own sales organization or through independent sales representatives authorized by CorpSoft to sell software, software licenses, and/or services. Subject to the preceding two sentences, it is agreed that the relationship between the parties is non-exclusive, and each party is free to pursue any other business opportunities or interests.
2.4 The relationship of the parties is that of independent contractor. Neither party is an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of the other party and CorpSoft and Intraware shall inform their respective employees of such. Neither party shall represent or imply, directly or indirectly, that it has the authority to represent or bind the other by contract or in any way to incur obligations of any kind on behalf of the other party or take any action that would lead any person to believe the party has such authority, provided, however, that Intraware, in the course of performing its obligations under this Agreement, may submit binding quotes to customers for sales of iPlanet, so long as such quotes to do not require CorpSoft to act in a manner inconsistent with its written customer qualification standards or its written order acceptance policy referred to in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 above, respectively.
