to the additional terms and conditions contained therein; and
(ii) for each copy of a Software Product licensed for

[*]
In the event that an Enhancement Kit commercially released by

(iv) The Base License Fees set forth in subparagraphs (i) and

below, and all pricing derived therefrom shall be likewise adjusted.
(b) Commencing with calendar year 1996, the adjusted Base License
Fee payable by ICARUS to Primavera for each additional copy of a Software

hereof, by any change in the Index now known as the United States Bureau of

successor) Index. Such adjustment shall be made by adding to the Base License
Fee, the product of the Base License Fee multiplied by a fraction
(i) the numerator of which is the difference between the Index
figure for the latest month of January for which the index is available at the
time of invoicing and the Index figure for the month of January for the First
License Year, and
(ii) the denominator of which is the Index figure for the
month of January of the First License Year.
The result of the foregoing computation shall constitute the adjusted
annual Base License Fees payable by ICARUS for each additional copy of a
Software Product licensed by ICARUS during the then current License Year. In the
event such Index is discontinued with no successor or comparable Index, then the
parties shall attempt to agree upon a substitute formula for the determination
of such License Fee adjustments in the basic License Fee to be paid hereunder,
but if they are unable to agree upon a substitute formula within thirty (30)
days, then the matter shall be determined by arbitration in accordance with the

ICARUS to Primavera hereunder at the rate of one and one-half percent (1.5%) per
month, or the maximum rate permitted by applicable law, whichever is less.
5.05 Taxes. ICARUS shall be responsible for and shall pay any and all
taxes, duties, withholdings or similar charges that are due and payable by
ICARUS directly to any governmental authority as a result of the distribution or

similar taxes imposed by any local, state or federal government or regulatory
agency of any country.

disclose to third parties any of the information contained in or derived from
such records without the prior written consent of ICARUS.

within ten (10) days. Nothing herein shall be deemed to preclude ICARUS from
disputing the results of such audit.

written above and continue for an initial term of ten (10) years, unless sooner
terminated as provided herein. Thereafter, either party may terminate this
Agreement upon ninety (90) days advance written notice to the other party.
8.02 Termination for Material Breach. Either party may, at its option,
terminate this Agreement in the event of a material breach by the other party.
Such termination may be effected only through a written notice to the other
party, specifically identifying the breach or breaches on which termination is

complete. Either party may cure an alleged breach without waiving its right to
dispute resolution and arbitration as herein set forth, and shall be entitled as

insolvent; or enters into any formal arrangement with its creditors, or ceases
doing business in the ordinary course; or admits
