agree not to attach additional trademarks, logos or trade designations to the
trademarks of the other party.

software vendors; (ii) hardware manufacturers; (iii) corporate service providers
of software support services, and (iv) corporate information technology managers
and executives. Company shall pay a commission to Xxxxxxx.xxx for bringing the
Qualified Customer to Company based on a percentage of the revenue recognized by

Xxxxxxx.xxx and Company may, in their sole discretion, agree to allocate the
Company financial support for sales incentives to other programs.
6. Confidential Information.
------------------------
6.1 Confidentiality Obligation. Each party acknowledges that, in the
--------------------------
course of performing its duties under this Agreement, it may receive information
relating to the other party which the receiving party knows, or has reason to
know is of a confidential and/or proprietary nature ("Confidential
Information"). Such Confidential Information may include, but is not limited to,
the terms and conditions of this Agreement, minimum price guidelines, future
product releases, trade secrets, know-how, inventions, techniques, processes,
programs, schematics, software, data, pricing and discount schedules, customer
lists, financial information and business, sales and marketing plans. To be
treated as Confidential Information, information disclosed in written form must
be marked "Confidential" at the time of disclosure or, if disclosed orally, must
be designated as "Confidential". Any information relating to Trio Code shall be
treated as Company's Confidential Information unless Xxxxxxx.xxx exercises the
Option to Purchase, in which event such information shall be deemed to be
Xxxxxxx.xxx's Confidential Information, without the necessity of being marked as
"Confidential". The receiving party shall at all times both during the term of
this Agreement and all times thereafter (a) take the same degree of care that it
uses to protect its own confidential and proprietary information of similar
nature and importance (but in any event no less than reasonable care) in order
to protect the confidentiality of, and avoid the unauthorized use, disclosure,
publication or dissemination of the Confidential Information, and (b) not use
such Confidential Information for any purposes other than as may be reasonably
necessary for the performance of its duties or enjoyment of its rights
hereunder. The receiving party shall not disclose any Confidential Information
to any person or entity other than to the receiving party's employees or
consultants as may be reasonably necessary for purposes of performing its duties
or enjoyment of its rights hereunder; provided that such employees and
consultants have first entered into agreements at least as protective of the
Confidential Information as the terms and conditions of this Section 6
("Confidential Information").
12
6.2 Exceptions. The parties' obligation under Section 6.1
----------
("Confidentiality Obligation"), with respect to any portion of Confidential
Information, shall not apply to any such portion that the receiving party can
document: (a) was in the public domain at or subsequent to the time such portion
was communicated to the receiving party by the disclosing party through no fault
of the receiving party; (b) was rightfully in the receiving party's possession
free of any obligation of confidence at or subsequent to the time such portion
was communicated to the receiving party by the disclosing party; (c) was
developed by employees or agents of the receiving party independently of and
without reference to any Confidential Information communicated to the receiving
party by the disclosing party; or (d) was communicated by the disclosing party
to an unaffiliated third party free of any obligation of confidence. A
disclosure of any portion of Confidential Information, either (x) in response to
a valid order by a court or other governmental body or as otherwise required by
law, or (y) with respect to the term and conditions of this Agreement, to a
party's attorneys, accountants or prospective investors of such party, who are
subject to an obligation to keep such Confidential Information confidential,
shall not be considered to be a breach of this Agreement or a waiver of
confidentiality for other purposes; provided, however, that with respect to
subsection (x) above, the party being required to disclose the information shall
provide prompt prior written notice thereof to the other party to enable the
other party to seek a protective order or otherwise prevent such disclosure.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Company agrees that any and all information
related to the Trio Source Code shall always be deemed Confidential Information,
whether or not the exceptions in this Section 6.2 apply and shall be deemed
Xxxxxxx.xxx's Confidential Information upon exercise of the Option to the
Purchase until such time as Xxxxxxx.xxx makes such information available in the
public domain.
7. Indemnification.

7.1 Company Proprietary Rights Indemnity. For three (3) years after
------------------------------------
the date that Xxxxxxx.xxx exercises the Option to Purchase, Company shall

reasonable attorneys' fees), damages, losses, penalties and expenses incurred
due to any third party claim, suit, or proceeding brought against Xxxxxxx.xxx
arising from or relating to any third party claims that Trio or any related
Intellectual Property Rights infringe or misappropriate any Canadian or United
States patent granted prior to one year after the date Xxxxxxx.xxx exercises the
Option to Purchase or any Canadian or United States trademark. Company's
obligations with respect to Canadian patents and trademarks in the foregoing
sentence are subject to Company's due diligence with regard to Canadian rights;
and Company agrees to use commercially reasonable efforts to perform such due
diligence within a reasonable time after the Effective Date, but in any event
shall be deemed to have performed such due diligence within thirty (30) days of
the Effective Date. The foregoing obligation is subject to Xxxxxxx.xxx (i)

or settlement of such claim, at Company's expense. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, Xxxxxxx.xxx may, at its expense, participate in the defense of any
indemnity that is the subject of this Section 7.1, but if Xxxxxxx.xxx elects not
to so participate, then Company agrees to keep Xxxxxxx.xxx reasonably informed
regarding the progress of its defense and settlement of any such claims. Company
agrees not to enter into any settlement of any third party claims described in
this
13
Section 7.1 without Xxxxxxx.xxx's consent, which shall not be unreasonably
withheld. In the event of any infringement or misappropriation, Company may, at
its option (i) replace or modify the relevant portion(s) of Trio with non-
infringing software which is functionally equivalent or superior; or (ii) obtain
a license for Xxxxxxx.xxx to continue using the applicable portion(s) of Trio or
related Intellectual Property Rights in accordance with this Agreement.
Company's obligations hereunder shall not apply (i) if Xxxxxxx.xxx has modified
Trio (whether or not with Company's approval), but only to the extent such
modification caused the infringement, or (ii) if Company has modified Trio
solely to comply with the request of Xxxxxxx.xxx, to the extent such
modification is the alleged basis of the suit, or (iii) to the extent any claims
are based upon the use of Trio or any component thereof in combination with
hardware, firmware, or software not supported by Company as set forth in Trio
documentation. THE FOREGOING STATES COMPANY'S SOLE OBLIGATION WITH RESPECT TO
ANY CLAIMS FOR PATENT AND TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT OR MISAPPROPRIATION OF THIRD
PARTY PROPRIETARY RIGHTS BY TRIO. THE FOREGOING, AND XXXXXXX.XXX'S RIGHTS TO
BRING SUIT FOR COMPANY'S BREACH OF SECTION 8.1, STATES XXXXXXX.XXX'S SOLE AND

---------------------
Xxxxxxx.xxx exercises the Option to Purchase, Xxxxxxx.xxx shall defend,
indemnify, and hold Company harmless from all costs (inclusive of reasonable
attorneys' fees), damages, penalties and expenses incurred due to any third
party claim, suit, or proceeding made against Company arising from or relating
to (i) any claims, warranties or representations made by Xxxxxxx.xxx with
respect to Trio, prior to exercise of the Option to Purchase, that differ from
Company's documentation,; and (ii) any claim for infringement of a United States
patent granted prior to one year after the date Xxxxxxx.xxx exercises the Option
to Purchase or a United States trademark where the claim is based upon a
modification by or for Xxxxxxx.xxx of Trio not performed by Company or done by
Company in accordance with Xxxxxxx.xxx's specification (excluding claims based
on Company's intentional infringement of copyright or misappropriation of trade
secret). The foregoing obligation is subject to Company (i) giving Xxxxxxx.xxx
prompt written notice of any such claim; (ii) allowing Xxxxxxx.xxx to control
the defense and settlement of such claim; (iii) not entering into any settlement
or compromise of such claim without Xxxxxxx.xxx's prior written consent; and
(iv) providing all reasonable assistance requested by Xxxxxxx.xxx in the defense
or settlement of such claim, at Xxxxxxx.xxx's expense. THE FOREGOING STATES

Exhibit B
---------
Trio Components
This Exhibit B describes the components to be licensed to Xxxxxxx.xxx in
accordance with the License Agreement. For each component, all material in its
source form is included, whether textual or not (e.g. Macintosh resources
created and edited in their binary form using an authoring tool such as ResEdit
or Resourceror). The sections below describe the main elements of the Talkback
Client and the Talkback Server. In addition to the items described below,
documentation associated with any demonstrations conducted by Company,
documentation associated with any presentations, and documentation associated
with Talkback including but not limited to common auxiliary pieces, such as make
files, Visual Studio projects and workspaces, miscellaneous build utilities,
product documentation, documentation of sales demonstrations, slides, and
product literature are also included.
A. Talkback Client
The Talkback Client comprises the components that Talkback-enable an
application. The platforms supported are:
. 32-Bit Windows Platforms (Win95, Win98, NT, Win2000)
. MacOS (version 7.5 through 9.x on PowerPC)
. Solaris (on Sparc)
. HP-UX
. Linux (on Intel x86)
All versions of the Talkback Client include the following components:
. API header file this .h file is common across all platforms and
describes the types, constants, and functions available
in the Talkback Client API.
. Glue code this platform-dependent file is provided to customers
in either source or object form depending on the
specific platform. The glue code is statically linked
to the Talkback-enabled application and implements the
Talkback Client API in stub form. The glue code is
responsible for locating and loading the "real" runtime
client code in the Talkback Library. All API calls are
passed to the Talkback Library.
. Talkback Library this is a platform-dependent, dynamically-loaded
library used at runtime by Talkback-enabled
applications. The dynamic loading mechanism is
different for each platform. The library includes all
the code to implement the Talkback trigger
functionality, crash detection, data collection, black
box creation and population, and the API. The library,
upon receipt of the FCInitialize() call, inserts itself
into the crash notification mechanism appropriate to
each platform.
. Talkback Transceiver this is a "true" application, launched by the Talkback
Library, the user, or possibly various platform-
dependent "startup" mechanisms. It processes new black
box files created by the Library, collects some
additional information for the black box, interacts
with the user if desired, and performs the network
communication with the Talkback Server.
. Test application each platform has at least one test application used
internally for development to exercise the Talkback API
and the Client's crash-detection capability.
In addition, the Windows version of the Talkback Client contains some extra
functionality that allows it to be "injected" into an application at runtime
without having to change the source code or statically link any Talkback
components to the application. These components are part of the "injection"
mechanism:
. Tbmon.exe this application runs at startup and calls the Win32 API to
intercept the launching of Windows applications. When an
application starts, a local list of files names is checked. If
the application's file name is in the list, then that application
is "hooked". Tbmon.exe also provides a user interface in the
System Tray that allows the user to initiate the creation of a
black box.
. Tbhook.dll this dll is "hooked" into the application by tbmon.exe.
During application startup, this code gets control and
essentially executes a call to the Talkback API function
FCInitialize() on behalf of the application. This loads the
Talkback Library into the process space.
. Tbselect.exe this is a small application that allows the user to choose
which application should be associated with a black box that is
created by the user outside the context of any particular running
application. Because black boxes from different application may
use different configuration settings and may be sent to different
servers, the user must specify which application the black box is
for.
In addition to the above, there are miscellaneous items associated with the
Client portions of the Talkback system. Notable items include:
. Java support this is Java code that allows a portion of the Talkback
Client API to be called from Java applications running
on Windows platforms. This is primarily a glue layer
that calls the Talkback API via Java's Native Method
Invocation mechanism. Java compatibility is not
officially supported and this code has not been
maintained (although it works). Also, automatic crash
detection in Java is not possible, but a reasonable
facsimile can be accomplished with a "catch-all" outer-
level exception handler that calls the Talkback API
. Symbol tools in order to derive symbolic information from a black
box when the Talkback-enabled application was not built
with embedded debugging information, some of the output
from the application build process needs to be stored
on the Talkback Server. In addition, this build output
sometimes needs to be post-processed in order for the
Talkback Server to use it. Various platform-dependent
tools are included to convert build output to usable
forms.
3
. Build tools each time a Talkback-enabled application is built, a
Talkback Manifest file must be created on the Talkback
Server and shipped with the application and the
Talkback Client components. In addition, symbol
information from that particular build of the
application needs to be uploaded to the Talkback
Server. Various build tools are included (primarily
XXXxxx.xx, a perl script) to facilitate automating
these actions as part of the build process.
. Plug-in collectors the Talkback Transceiver supports a plug-in
architecture for additional data collection code
modules. Plug-ins are platform-specific binary objects
in the appropriate shared library form. Some samples
are included, as are the plug-ins developed by Company
for specific customers.
B Talkback Server
The Talkback Server runs on Windows NT Server 4.0. (It will run on Windows 2000
with the 3.0 release to Microsoft.) The Server comprises the following:
. Repeater this is a web server extension for ISAPI on NT and
NSAPI on Solaris. The repeater sits outside the
firewall and connects incoming black boxes with the
network connection to the Collector. This is an
extremely light-weight component and it does not
interpret the data; it simply acts as a connection
rendezvous to ensure firewall integrity.
. Collector this is a NT Service. The Collector communicates with
the Talkback Transceiver. It's role is to implement the
communication, assign an ID to the incoming black box,
store the black box as a file local to the Talkback
Server, and register the black box as ready to be
processed in the database. As part of the
communication, it may assign a client ID, generate and
communicate an encryption key, and encrypt/decrypt data
over the HTTP link.
. Digester this is an NT Service. The Digester polls the database
for incoming black boxes to be processed. Incoming
black boxes are read from the local file system and put
through a series of steps that include annotation and
Activator handling. Annotation processes raw data in
the black box and generates more useful data which is
then stored as a replacement or in addition to the raw
data. Annotators are COM servers called by the
Digester, the bulk of which are always included and are
integral to the operation of Talkback. (However, it is
possible to add customer- or application-specific
annotation.) One major annotation step is the
derivation of symbolic information for stack crawls and
similar items. Once annotation is complete, the
Digester executes each of the Activators. Each
Activator is a COM server. One special Activator is
data-driven and implements most of the functions
available via the Activator Configuration portion of
the web user interface. Other Activators perform
specific tasks and have no user interface. The data-
driven Activator uses information stored in the
database to determine whether incoming black boxes meet
the given Activator criteria and, if so, to execute the
associated
4
Activator Action. Activator Actions are also COM
servers and can be added as desired. Once all
Activators have run completely (which may involve
delayed retries), the black box is committed to the
database. The Digester performs (or orchestrates) the
bulk of the incoming processing of black boxes which
takes a relatively large amount of time (up to several
seconds per black box). In order to scale, any number
of Digesters can be run in the save Talkback Server
network.
. FCExec this is an NT Service. FCExec monitors all the other NT
Services that are part of the Talkback Server and can
start, stop, or restart them under administrator-
defined conditions. Conditions that can be monitored
include lockup, abnormal termination, memory leakage,
handle leakage, total run time, and anything else that
can be observed with the NT utility PERFMON. FCExec is
a failsafe mechanism and safety net to ensure that the
Talkback Services can operate without human
intervention for extended periods, despite bugs in the
operating system or the services themselves.
. Web most Talkback Server interaction is performed via a
standard web browser through network connections to one
or more instances of the Talkback Server Web interface.
The web interface is implemented primarily with Cold
Fusion web pages. The Cold Fusion pages are used to
perform some logic, some dynamic HTML generation, and
interaction with the bulk of the server-side logic in
the form of binary COM servers.
. Web Support these are binary COM objects called by the Cold Fusion
pages. Most of the sophisticated logic driven from the
web user interface is implemented as C++ classes
encased in COM interfaces. This allows them to be
called from many application server technologies (Cold
Fusion, ASP, HAHT, etc) as well as from other binary
components of the Talkback Server. Database
interaction, for reporting, querying, or
administration, goes through these "helper" COM
objects. The "helper" objects use the common classes
for database connectivity and object manipulation. All
database access is abstracted, as is access to the
black boxes and the data elements (called keys) within
the black boxes.
. Task Manager this is an NT Service. The Task Manager performs
periodic actions for the Talkback Server. Automatic
reports that can be sent by email can be scheduled, as
well as the removal of old data from the database. In
addition, when black boxes are removed from the
database via the user interface, they are actually only
marked for deletion; the actual deletion occurs as a
scheduled task. The Task Manager performs or initiates
periodic or scheduled tasks.
. Database Setup these are generally SQL scripts used to create the
initial tables and table content needed by the Talkback
Server.
. Installer this is the "script" for InstallShield that installs
the Talkback Server components onto an NT system.
. Integration Modules these are COM objects registered as Activator Actions.
Integration Modules for the Remedy AR System and
Peregrine's ServiceCenter have been implemented. Each
uses product-specific APIs to create new trouble
tickets
5
and to populate them from the contents of the black
box. Common classes used in each use XML-based
configuration data that describes the mapping between
the black box and the trouble ticket. A Windows
application is also provided as an
authoring/administration tool for the configuration
data so that mappings can be easily created and
maintained.
. Queries these are text files using an XML-based syntax to
describe the reports in the Talkback system. Talkback
reports use a format called FCQ (for Full Circle Query)
to describe the query parameters of the report. These
FCQ files are read and stored in the database during
initial server setup and represent the set of default
reports.
. ServerPrefsConfig this is a Windows application. A portion of the
server's administration parameters are stored in each
NT system's registry. This application provides a user-
friendly front-end for setting up and maintaining these
configuration parameters.

------------------
8.1 Remedies and Legal Actions. The failure of either party to insist, in any
--------------------------
one or more instances, upon the performance of any of the terms, covenants, or
conditions of this Agreement or to exercise any right hereunder, shall not be
construed as a waiver or relinquishment of the future performance of any rights,
and the obligations of the party with respect to such future performance shall
continue in full force and effect. The remedies under this Agreement shall be
cumulative and not alternative and the election of one remedy for a breach shall
not preclude pursuit of other remedies unless as expressly provided in this
Agreement. This Agreement shall be governed in all respects by the substantive
laws of the State of California, United States of America (excluding conflict of
laws rules) as applied to agreements entered into and to be performed entirely
within the State of California between California residents, without regard to
the U.N. Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods. Any
dispute regarding this Agreement shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction
of the California state courts in and for Santa Xxxxx County, California or, if
there is federal jurisdiction, the United States District Court for the Northern
District of California, and the parties agree to submit to the personal and
exclusive jurisdiction and venue of these courts. The prevailing party in any
legal action brought by one party against the other and arising out of this
Agreement will be entitled, in addition to any other rights and remedies it may
have, to reimbursement for its expenses, including court costs and reasonable
attorneys' fees. Xxxxxxx.xxx is an express third party beneficiary of this
Agreement and can enforce this agreement as if a party hereto. If any covenant
set forth in this Agreement is determined by any court to be unenforceable by
reason of its extending for too great a period of time or by reason of its being
too extensive in any other respect, such covenant shall be interpreted to extend
only for the longest period of time and to otherwise have the broadest
application as shall be enforceable.
8.2 Assignment. Licensee shall not assign or otherwise transfer any of its
----------
rights, obligations or licenses hereunder without the prior written consent of
Xxxxxxx.xxx, including any assignment by operation of law as a result of the
merger or acquisition of Licensee. Subject to the foregoing, the provisions of
this Agreement shall apply to and bind the successors and permitted assigns of
the parties.
8.3 Entire Agreement; Headings. This Agreement, together with all exhibits and
--------------------------
schedules hereto, constitutes the complete, final and exclusive statement of the
terms of the Agreement among the parties pertaining to the subject matter hereof
and supersedes all prior agreements, understandings, negotiations and
discussions of the parties. No modification or rescission of this Agreement
shall be binding unless executed in writing by the party to be bound thereby.
The descriptive headings of this Agreement are intended for reference only and
shall not affect the construction or interpretation of this Agreement.
8.4 Force Majeure. Either party shall be excused from any delay or failure in
-------------
performance hereunder, except the payment of monies by Licensee caused by reason
of any occurrence or contingency beyond its reasonable control, including but
not limited to, acts of God, earthquake, floods, lightning, labor disputes and
strikes, other labor or industrial disturbances, riots, war, acts of the public
enemy, insurrections, embargoes, blockages, regulations or orders of any
government, agency or subdivision thereof, shortages of materials, rationing,
utility or communication failures, casualty, novelty of product manufacture or
other unanticipated product development problems, and governmental requirements.
The obligations and rights of the party so excused shall be extended on a
day-to-day basis for the period of time equal to that of the underlying cause of
the delay; provided that such party shall give notice of such force majeure
event to the other party as soon as reasonably possible.
8.5 Notices; Authority. All notices required or permitted to be given by one
------------------
party to the other under this Agreement shall be sufficient if sent by either
certified mail, return receipt requested, telegram or hand delivered to the
parties. All notices shall be effective upon receipt. Each party represents that
all corporate action necessary for the authorization, execution and delivery of
this Agreement by such party and the performance of its obligations hereunder
has been taken.
