2. The License Support Fee for the Software set forth in item 1 above is USD
15,000. The annual license fee will be invoiced April 15, 1996 and is due
and payable net thirty (30) days. The Annual License Fee will be invoiced
and is due and payable annually thereafter.
3. Delivery by SAP of the Software is estimated to take place in April, 1996.
4. Delivery of one (1) set of CD-ROM Documentation, in the English language,
to the above-specified Designated Site shall be initiated upon execution of
this Appendix by the parties hereto. Additional Documentation for the
above-specified Designated Site may be ordered by CCAi at SAP's then
current prices in effect.
5. Software licensed hereunder currently requires a Third-Party Database,
which has been licensed hereunder as a runtime version at a license fee of
USD 13,500 ($270 per user). Such runtime version shall be limited to use by
CCAi for the purpose of running the Software licensed hereunder, and
utilizing SAP tools to modify and/or extend the Software as well as writing
in-house developments. Such Modification/Extension rights only apply to
Non-Productive Use of the Software. The license fee for the Third-Party
Database will be invoiced CCAi and is due and payable CCAi.
In the event CCAi uses the licensed database other than as specified above,
a Full License, including programming tools provided through such
third-party supplier can be licensed directly from a third party database
supplier, or as mutually agreed upon in writing by CCAi and SAP, the
runtime version licensed hereunder can be upgraded at agreed upon fees.
6. The Non-Productive Use copy of the Software licensed hereunder requires a
license keycode. The license keycodes will be issued by SAP AG within four
(4) weeks from the date of installation of the Software on the Designated
Unit. The required form to receive the license keycodes from SAP AG must be
executed by Licensee and faxed to SAP AG within the four (4) week period
following installation of the Software. The applicable form and fax number
will be included in each installation kit provided to CCAi upon delivery of
the Software. In the event that CCAi subsequently changes Designated Units
for Use of the licensed Software must be re-issued license keycodes for
each respective copy of the licensed Software. Failure of CCAi to obtain
necessary license keycodes for the licensed Software within four (4) weeks
of installation of such Software, will cause the Software to have limited
User access until such time as the license keycodes are issued.
7. The Software, including all third-party software, is not specifically
developed or licensed hereunder for Use in any direct and active operations
of any equipment in any nuclear, aviation, mass transit, or medical
applications, or in any other inherently dangerous applications. The
parties hereto agree that Use of the Software and third-party software for
financial application purposes or such other administrative purposes shall
not be deemed inherently dangerous applications if such Use does not affect
the operations or maintenance of such equipment. SAP, SAP AG, and its
licensors shall not be liable for any claims or damages arising from
inherently dangerous Use of the Software and/or third-party software
licensed hereunder.
8. In the event Licensee is utilizing EDI functionality, Licensee is
responsible to license or purchase a required third-party EDI
translator/interpreter. Such EDI translator/interpreter shall be license or
provided directly form a third party vendor to Licensee.

00. EXPORT CONTROL NOTICE
Regardless of any disclosure made by CCAi to SAP of an ultimate destination of
the Software, Documentation, Third-Party Database, and other provided SAP
Proprietary Information, CCAi acknowledges that SAP's Software, Documentation,
Proprietary Information, and the Third-Party Database are being released or
transferred to CCAi in the United States and are therefore subject to the U.S.
export control laws. CCAi acknowledges its exclusive obligation to ensure that
its exports from the United States are in compliance with the U.S. export
control laws. CCAi shall also be responsible for complying with all applicable
governmental regulations of any foreign countries with respect to the use of the
Proprietary Information by its Affiliates outside of the United States. CCAi
shall defend, indemnify, and hold SAP and SAP AG and its licensors harmless from
and against any and all claims, judgments, awards, and costs (including

U.S. or foreign law with respect to the use or transfer of the Proprietary
Information outside the United States by CCAI.
12. OTHER PROVISIONS.
12.1. CCAi acknowledges that remedies at law may be inadequate to provide SAP
with full compensation in the event of any material breach of this Agreement by
CCAi, and that SAP shall therefore be entitled to injunctive relief in the event
of any material breach.
12.2. This Agreement and all Appendices hereto constitute the complete and
exclusive statement of the agreement between SAP and CCAi, and all previous
representations are merged in this Agreement. This Agreement may be modified
only by a writing signed by both parties. This Agreement prevails over any
additional, conflicting, or inconsistent terms and conditions appearing on any
purchase order submitted by CCAi
12.3. It is the intent of the parties that in case any one or more of the
provisions contained in this Agreement shall be held to be invalid or
unenforceable in any respect, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability
shall not affect the other provisions of this Agreement, and this Agreement
shall be construed as if such invalid, illegal or unenforceable provisions had
never been contained herein. In case any one or more of the provisions contained
in this Agreement shall be held to be excessively broad as to duration,
geographical scope, activity or subject, such provision shall be construed by
limiting and reducing it in accordance with a judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction, so as to be enforceable to the extent compatible with applicable
law.
12.4. If either party should waive any breach of any provisions of this
Agreement, it shall not thereby be deemed to have waived any preceding or
succeeding breach of the same or any other provisions hereof.
12.5. The headings of the sections of this Agreement are inserted for
convenience only and shall not be deemed to constitute a part hereof nor to
affect the meaning thereof.
12.6. This Agreement shall be governed by and construed under Pennsylvania law.
CCAi consents to the jurisdiction of any federal or state court sitting in
Delaware County, Pennsylvania for all claims, suits, or actions arising under
this Agreement or in connection with CCAi's use of or possession of the
Software.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, and intending to be legally bound, the parties hereto agree
to the foregoing Agreement as of the date first above written.
