NOW THEREFORE, for good and valuable consideration, the
parties hereby agree as follows:
1. GRANT OF RIGHTS
1.1 License. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, CBT
hereby grants to CL a non-transferable, non-exclusive license to distribute
CBT's proprietary computer programs described on Exhibit A in object code format
(the "Courseware") and any documentation supporting the Courseware provided from
time to time by CBT (the "Documentation") solely to third parties ("End Users")
pursuant to a personal use, perpetual license for use on a single personal
computer. All copies of Courseware distributed by CL shall be distributed with
CBT's current End User License, as amended by CBT from time to time upon sixty
(60) days' notice to CL (the "End User License").
1.2 Exclusive. During the term of this agreement, CBT will not enter an
agreement with []* to distribute the Courseware or enter into an agreement with
a third party through which the Courseware is intended to be distributed to []*.
In exchange, during the term of this agreement, CL will not distribute computer
based training products branded by []* unless such branded product is []* that
is not []*.
1.3 Ownership. As between CBT and CL, CBT owns and retains all right,
title, and interest in and to the Courseware, Documentation, and all trademarks,
service marks or tradenames associated with the Courseware or Documentation (the
"Trademarks"), including all copyrights, patents, trade secret rights,
trademarks and other intellectual property rights therein. Except as expressly
granted herein, CBT does not grant to CL any right or license, either express or

disassemble, decompile, or otherwise attempt to derive source code from the
Courseware.
1.4 Minimum Commitment. CL agrees to purchase from CBT at least the

contained in this Agreement, CBT shall be entitled to terminate this Agreement
thirty (30) days after written notice to CL if CL fails to satisfy its Total
Purchase Commitment pursuant to the terms in Section 3.3.
2. CL'S OBLIGATIONS
2.1 CL's Marketing Obligations. CL will design and designate a CBT
partners' area on CL's web site for Prentice Hall customers that want to
purchase CBT's Courseware. CBT will direct users to this CBT partners' area
([]*) in promoting Bundled Prentice Hall Promotions. "Bundled Prentice Hall
Promotions" shall mean a product offering in which a Prentice Hall title is
bundled with CBT Courseware. Such referral shall be placed in a manner that will
direct a user of the Bundled Prentice Hall Promotion to go to the CBT partners'
area on CL's web site for any inquiries regarding the Courseware. CL shall not
make any representations or warranties other than those contained in the
Documentation and shall not make any representations or warranties on CBT's
behalf.
2.2 Trademarks. During the term of this Agreement, CL shall have the
right to use and reproduce the Trademarks in connection with CL's marketing,
advertising, promotion, and distribution of the Courseware. CL's
----------
* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED FOR REDACTED PORTION.
2
use of the Trademarks shall not create any right, title or interest therein. CL
shall use the Trademarks only in a manner which complies in all material
respects with CBT's policies in effect from time to time and all such use shall
be for CBT's benefit. CL shall submit to CBT a representation of the Trademarks
that CL intends to use for any purpose for CBT's approval of design, color, and
other details prior to their initial use. CL shall not publish, disseminate,
exhibit, or otherwise distribute any material bearing such representations
without CBT's prior approval. CL shall not remove, obscure or alter CBT's
copyright notice or the Trademarks from the Courseware or Documentation. If CL,
in the course of distributing the Courseware, acquires any goodwill or
reputation in any of the Trademarks, all such goodwill or reputation shall
automatically vest in CBT when and as, on an on-going basis, such acquisition of
goodwill or reputation occurs, as well as at the expiration or termination of
this Agreement, without any separate payment or other consideration of any kind
to CL, and CL agrees to take all such actions necessary to effect such vesting.
CL shall not contest the validity of any of the Trademarks or CBT's exclusive
ownership of them. CL shall not adopt, use, or register, whether as a corporate
name, trademark, service xxxx or other indication of origin, any of the
Trademarks, or any word or xxxx confusingly similar to the Trademarks in any
jurisdiction.
2.3 Support for Courseware. CBT shall provide support to CL, upon
request, based upon its then customary support policies, at no charge. CBT shall
also provide training at CBT, at no charge to personnel of CL, as reasonably
necessary to enable CL to carry out its support obligations hereunder.
2.4 Compliance with Applicable Laws. CL shall comply with all laws and
regulations applicable to CL's performance and distribution of the Courseware
and Courseware hereunder. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, CL
(a) shall not distribute the Courseware in any country where such distribution
would be unlawful; (b) shall comply with all Department of Commerce and other
United States exports controls regarding the license and delivery of technology
and products abroad including the Export Administration Act of 1979, as amended,
any successor legislation, and the Export Administration Regulations issued by
the Department of Commerce, Bureau of Export Administration. CL shall, at its
own expense, make, obtain, and maintain in force at all times during the term of
this Agreement, all filings, registrations, licenses, permits and authorizations
(collectively "Authorizations") in the Territory required for CL to perform its
obligations under this Agreement.
2.5 Protection of Proprietary Rights. CL shall not do anything to
compromise CBT's proprietary rights related to the Courseware, including without
limitation, CBT's copyrights, patent, trade secret, and trademark rights
("Proprietary Rights"), and will cooperate, at CBT's expense, in CBT's efforts
to protect its Proprietary Rights. CL shall promptly notify CBT of any known
infringements of CBT's Proprietary Rights that come to CL's attention. CBT shall
have the exclusive right to institute infringement or other appropriate legal
action against alleged prospective or actual infringers of its Proprietary
Rights. CBT shall incur all expenses in connection therewith and shall retain
all monetary recoveries received therefrom.
3. PRICE AND PAYMENT; SHIPMENT AND DELIVERY
3.1 Suggested End User Price. CL is free to determine its own End User
prices for the Courseware. Although CBT may publish suggested end user prices
for the Courseware from time to time, these are suggestions only.
3.2 Per Copy Fees. After CL's Courseware orders have exceeded the []*
Total Purchase Commitment set forth in Section 3.3, CL shall pay to CBT for each
copy of the Courseware shipped hereunder per copy fees (the "Per Copy Fees")
equal to []* of the suggested end user prices for the Courseware as set forth on
Exhibit B hereto, as adjusted by CBT from time to time in its sole discretion
("Suggested Prices"). In the event that CBT changes the Suggested Prices, Per
Copy Fees based on such changed Suggested Prices shall apply to any order for
the Courseware received by CBT after the effective date of the increase or
decrease. CBT shall provide CL with at least []* days written notice of any
increase in the Per Copy Fees.
3.3 Purchase Commitment. CL shall pay CBT []* of the Total Purchase
Commitment ([]*) within []* after execution of this Agreement. The next payment
shall be due on []* in the amount of []*. Starting on the first anniversary of
the effective date (the "First Anniversary") CL shall pay CBT []* on or before
the
--------
* CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT REQUESTED FOR REDACTED PORTION.
2
3
end of each []* following the First Anniversary, and in no event later than the
dates set out in Exhibit B). Should CL's Courseware orders exceed the []*
commitment before the end of the two year term, CL will be required to pay the
balance of the []* before CBT ships additional Courseware. Upon shipment of
Courseware after the []* purchase commitment has been exceeded, CL will pay a
royalty for the Courseware on a []* basis, accompanied with a detailed royalty
statement. CL shall pay CBT a late charge on outstanding amounts due equal to
[]*. If CL fails to make payment when due, CBT reserves the right, in its
reasonable commercial judgement, to place CL on credit hold, in which case CBT
may cease CL's rights to fulfill orders. If CBT elects to suspend CL's rights to
fulfill orders, then CL's obligation to fulfill the Total Purchase Commitment
shall be suspended until the credit hold is released and when resumed, if the
suspension extends for a period longer than three months, the Payment Schedule
for the Total Purchase Commitment shall be equitably adjusted (as agreed between
the parties in good faith) in order to take into account the period in which CL
could not fulfill orders. All payments shall be made in United States dollars,
free of any withholding tax and of any currency control, or other restrictions
to CBT, at the address within the United States indicated by CBT to CL. Except
as provided in Section 4.2(a), []* CBT shall be []*.
3.4 Finder's Fee. CL is authorized to co-market with CBT through a
process in which CL may submit a co-marketing opportunity to CBT for
"co-marketing consideration". CBT agrees to co-market its products to CL
prospects/accounts in accordance with the following qualification criteria:
(a) The prospect/account cannot be an existing CBT client.
(b) The prospect/account cannot be currently engaged in a
sales cycle with CBT.
(c) The prospect/account cannot be an Affiliate (defined
below) of an existing CBT client if such existing client has an agreement with
CBT that allows the existing client to license the CBT product in question to
such prospect/account. An "Affiliate" of a party shall mean an entity directly
or indirectly controlling, controlled by or under common control with that party
where control means the ownership or control, directly or indirectly, of more
than fifty percent (50%) of all of the voting power of the shares (or other
securities or rights) entitled to vote for the election of directors or other
governing authority, as of the date of this Agreement or hereafter during the
term of this Agreement, provided that such entity shall be considered an
Affiliate only for the time during which such control exists.
(d) Fulfillment (order processing, shipping and invoicing) of
products will be done directly by CBT. CL will provide CBT with all of the
information required to process the order resulting from the co-marketing
engagement.
(e) Where the situation warrants, exceptions to the above
criteria, including leads to territories outside North America, may be requested
by CL; however, CBT will determine whether an exception request is permitted.
If the opportunity meets the qualification criteria, CL may then register the
opportunity with CBT and remove itself from further participation in the sales
cycle. CBT will then work directly with the End User to formulate a proposal.
If CBT enters into an agreement with the End User within []* days of opportunity
registration, CL will be paid a dollar amount ("Finder's Fee") equal to []* of
the []*, calculated as follows:
The total dollar value of the agreement which is due to be paid to CBT over the
term of the agreement as of the effective date of the agreement, will be
determined ("Contract Value"). The Contract Value will then be divided by the
number of years specified by the term of the agreement to determine the Annual
Value. []* the dollar amount []* shall be the Finder's Fee.
CBT will pay CL the Finder's Fee within thirty (30) days of CBT's receipt of
payment by the applicable End User for the amount representing the Annual Value
of the Agreement.

other taxes, customs duties, or similar tariffs and fees which may be required
to be paid or collected upon the delivery of the Courseware or upon collection
of the prices for the Courseware or the Per Copy Fees. Should any tax or levy be
made, CL agrees to pay such tax or levy and indemnify CBT against any claim for
such amount. CL represents and warrants to CBT that all Courseware acquired
hereunder is for redistribution in the ordinary course of CL's business, and CL
agrees to provide CBT with appropriate resale certificate numbers and other
documentation satisfactory to the applicable taxing authorities to substantiate
any claim of exemption from any such taxes or fees.

xxxx of materials for the Courseware. Shipment and Delivery of the Courseware
and Documentation to CL shall be as set forth on Exhibit C.

PROVIDED "AS IS". CBT HEREBY DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS, IMPLIED,
OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.
4.2 Proprietary Rights Indemnification.
(a) CBT shall indemnify CL and hold it harmless from any and
all damages, liabilities, costs and expenses (including but not limited to
reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred by CL as a result of any claim (or a claim
by an end user that is related to a claim) that the Courseware or the Trademarks
or any part thereof infringes any patent, copyright, trademark or trade secret
of any third party, provided that CL promptly notifies CBT in writing of any
such claim and CBT shall control and defend or settle any such claim at CBT's
expense and with CBT's choice of counsel. CL shall cooperate with CBT, at CBT's
expense, in defending or settling such claim and CL may join in defense with
counsel of its choice at its own expense. CL may not settle any claim without
CBT's prior written consent. Following notice of any claim with respect to which
CL believes itself entitled to indemnification under this section, CBT shall
have the right at its option and expense to (i) procure for CL and the End-Users
the right or license to use the Courseware as delivered; (ii) modify the
infringing materials so as to render them non-infringing; (iii) replace the
Courseware or parts thereof with other functionally equivalent software; or (iv)
if (i), (ii) and (iii), and each of them, are not commercially feasible,
terminate this Agreement and refund to CL amounts paid for unsold inventory,
which inventory CL shall promptly return to CBT.
(b) CBT shall have no liability for any infringement based on
(i) the use of the Courseware other than as set forth in the Documentation; (ii)
the modification of the Courseware by any party other than CBT if such
infringement would have been avoided by the use of the unmodified Courseware; or
(iii) the combination or use of the Courseware with other software, items or
processes not furnished by CBT if such infringement would have been avoided by
the use of the Courseware alone. If the Courseware being distributed infringes
an intellectual property right of a third party, CL shall have up to 90 days
(after a new release of the Courseware that does not infringe has been provided
to CL) to begin distribution of such new release. CBT shall have no liability or
obligation to indemnify pursuant to this Section for any infringement violation
due to use of Courseware by an end user that was not provided with a new release
within such ninety (90) day period. THIS SECTION 4.2 STATES
