Licensee as set forth in Sections 3.1 and 4.1 above, Licensee agrees to pay
Licensor the Annual License Charge (ALC) as stated in Schedule A or any

or as agreed to between the parties subsequently, Licensee will be required to
pay the ALC charges to Licensor.
Unless this Agreement is otherwise terminated or expires, renewal of the
ALC shall be automatic at the end of each licensing period. Licensor reserves
the right to increase the ALC once during any 12 month contract year (measured
from 12 months after the date this Agreement is executed) by providing Licensee
with written notice at least ninety (90) days prior to the anniversary of the
date this Agreement is executed; provided however, that

7.2 GST. If one party (“Supplying Party”) supplies taxable goods or services pursuant to this Agreement and the consideration for that supply does not expressly include GST, the party that is liable to provide the consideration (“Receiving Party”) must also pay an amount equal to the GST payable by the Supplying Party. Subject to first receiving a tax invoice, the Receiving Party must pay the GST amount when it is liable to provide the consideration.

In this Section, terms used that are defined in the A New Tax System (Goods and Services Tax) Xxx 0000 (Cth) have the meaning given in that Act.
7.3 Withholding Tax. Licensee is authorised to deduct or withhold from any amount payable to the Licensor under this Agreement, any amount required by law to be deducted from such payment, including any amount required to be deducted under the provisions of a Tax Law.

Licence Fees
Primary License Charges.
The parties acknowledge that the Licensee has already paid the one-time, non-refundable Primary License Charge (PLC) for all Software identified in this Schedule A as of the Effective Date.
The Primary License Charge for any future Software that the parties mutually agree to add to this Agreement after the Effective Date shall be documented in a new Schedule to this Agreement or an amendment to this Schedule A executed in accordance with Section 19 (Amendment) or a purchase order entered into under this Agreement.
Annual License Charges are detailed in the chart above. The Annual License Charge for any future Software that the parties mutually agree to add to this Agreement shall be documented in a new Schedule to this Agreement or an amendment to this Schedule A executed in accordance with Section 19 (Amendment) or a purchase order entered into under this Agreement.
The licence fees referred to in paragraph 2.1 and 2.2 above are based on Licensee’s use of the Software to provide voice and text based information services in the Territory.
Subject to clause 2.5, from the Effective Date, Licensor will invoice Licensee monthly in arrears for the ALC for the Software payable in respect of the preceding month and the Licensee will pay the invoice within 30 days of receiving the invoice.
Where applicable, from the Effective Date, within 14 days of the end of each calendar month, Licensee will report to Licensor the actual number of Busy Hour Calls for the preceding month. Licensor will then invoice Licensee monthly in arrears for the ALC for the Software payable in respect of the preceding month based on that Busy Hour Call report and the Licensee will pay the invoice within 30 days of receiving the invoice.
Licensor agrees to make available to Licensee at no additional charge version 5 of the Base Software promptly after it is commercially released.
In this Schedule A:
Busy Hour means, in respect of a month, the hour in that month which is made up of the four busiest consecutive 15 minute periods (measured according to the number of Calls answered by an operator) during that month.
Busy Hour Calls or BHC means, in respect of a month, the number of Calls answered by an operator during the Busy Hour for that month.
Busy Hour Search means in respect of the MacroMatch service the number of records processed and in respect of EWP means the number of Searches conducted during the four busiest contiguous 15 minute segments during a calendar month.
Call means, a call made by a Licensee customer to the directory assistance service provided by Licensee using the applicable Software.

Payment terms
Licensee is not obliged to make a payment under Schedule A unless and until it receives a correctly rendered invoice. An invoice is correctly rendered if:
the specified amount is correctly calculated and due for payment;
the invoice is accompanied (where necessary or where reasonably requested by Licensee) by substantiating documentation; and
the invoice complies with any requirements relating to GST.
Licensor will ensure that any invoice to Licensee specifies the following details where relevant:
the Agreement number and relevant Purchase Order number and date;
the Software, Documentation or Services ordered;
the place of delivery and the date of delivery; and
the applicable fee in Australian currency.
If Licensee disputes in good faith the whole or part of any invoice:
Licensee will give Licensor written notice of the disputed amount (with its reasons for the dispute);
Licensee may withhold the disputed amount but must pay Licensor any undisputed amount; and
the parties will attempt to resolve the dispute in accordance with Section 28.
Licensor acknowledges that any payment made to it by Licensee does not imply or constitute an admission on the part of Licensee that the Software, Documentation or Services have been properly supplied or performed in accordance with this Agreement or a waiver or release of Licensor’s obligations under this Agreement.

This document defines the process for providing defect service, problem resolution and product support for the Software listed in Schedule A or subsequent schedules or purchase orders made under this Agreement from Licensor to Licensee.
Scope of process:
1 Standard Maintenance Services
Scope of Services. During the Term, Licensor will provide Licensee the following Support and Maintenance Services for the Software:
(a) Corrections of substantial defects in the Software so that the Software will operate as described.
(b) Periodic updates of the Software that may incorporate (A) corrections of any substantial defects, (B) fixes of any minor bugs, and (C) at the sole discretion of Licensor, Enhancements to the Software.
(c) Problem Reporting and Support -Software defects may be reported as an incident via Licensor’s support website to Licensor’s support system, by Licensee directly. Licensee can report problems via the website any day any time. For reported severity 1 incidents, Licensor provides Licensee support 24x7. For other severity levels, Licensor provides Licensee with support from Monday through Friday (8:00 AM - 5:00 PM, Licensee local time), excluding Licensor’s public holidays
When reporting an incident, Licensee personnel should provide the following information as a minimum:
· Licensee ID
· Licensee Password
· Licensee contact name
· Licensor product name and version
· Severity of the incident
· Description of the problem
An incident will be generated by Licensor’s support system as a result of this initial Licensor’s support website entry and an incident number will be assigned as the control number by Licensor’s support system. The incident number should be used in all future communication concerning the problem.
This incident will be recorded in Licensor’s support database. Licensor’s support system contains records about each problem and the solution (or fix) for it. It also contains records about Licensor’s customers, products and service organisations.
Licensor’s support system will send an email acknowledgement to the Licensee’s contact on the incident indicating that the incident has been received. Licensor’s customer support personnel will contact the Licensee within the defined time periods established for each severity level to begin problem investigation. Licensor’s customer support personnel will provide problem resolution and maintain the incident to closure. Licensee may obtain

incident status at any time via Licensor’s support website. Also, Licensee may update an existing incident with new information via the website.
If a problem requires on-site assistance, the then current hourly rates and terms for Services will apply.
Only for critical problems where Licensee cannot use the function/program which has a critical impact on business operation and an immediate circumvention or solution is required, if Licensor determines that on-site resources are required to fix the defect Licensor may elect to provide such on-site support as required. If the defect is ultimately determined to be a non-Licensor problem that assistance is billable at the then current hourly rates and terms for Services.
The following is a definition of problem severities:
2 SEVERITY 1 (CRITICAL) DESCRIPTION
Licensee cannot use the Software, which has a critical impact on the business operation, including Licensee’s ability to deliver services to its customers in accordance with its contractual obligations. An immediate circumvention or solution is required.
Licensor will attempt to determine an immediate solution to a severity 1 incident and will use commercially reasonable efforts to work around the clock to provide a fix or a temporary circumvention (In case of a temporary circumvention, the severity level will be renegotiated with the Licensee on site and available to Licensor’s support personnel until the problem is resolved.)
In case the Licensor’s problem manager is not available, Licensor will reassign the severity of the problem with the Licensee.
Licensor’s assigned problem manager will provide the status of the problem resolution to Licensee contact periodically.
Licensor target response time: Call backs to Severity 1 calls will occur within 2 business hours.
Target resolution time:
Action plan within 1 working day. Permanent resolution within 10 days.
3 SEVERITY 2 (MAJOR) DESCRIPTION
Licensee can use the Software, but the business operation and/or Licensee’s ability to deliver services to its customers in accordance with its contractual obligations is severely restricted.
Licensor’s target response time: Call backs to Severity 2 calls will occur within 4 business hours.
Target resolution time:
Action plan within 2 working days. Permanent resolution within 20 days.
[ ] = CERTAIN CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION CONTAINED IN THIS DOCUMENT, MARKED BY BRACKETS, IS FILED WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION PURSUANT TO RULE 406 OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1933, AS AMENDED.
4 SEVERITY 3 (MINOR) DESCRIPTION
Licensee can use the Software with some restrictions on the functions which can be used. These restrictions do not have a critical impact on the business’s operations and/or Licensee’s ability to deliver services to its customers in accordance with its contractual obligations is impacted.
Licensor’s target response time: Call backs to Severity 3 calls will occur within 8 business hours.
Target resolution time:
Permanent resolution within 30 days
Technical Assistance - a reasonable amount of remote assistance is available during Licensor’s normal business hours (excluding local Licensor holidays) via telephone, fax, or e-mail to provide the Licensee with code-related technical assistance. For example, questions regarding availability of code corrections, Error fixes, Updates, use, operation, or the interpretation of the Software’s results.
If Licensor determines on-site assistance is required, and the problem is a failure of the Software to perform according to its then applicable specifications in the designated operating environment, no charges will apply. If Licensor determines that the problem is due to other causes, or if Licensee expressly request on-site assistance, the then current Licensor hourly rate and terms for Services will apply.
