5. WORK AUTHORIZATION:

services to be performed at an SVI Retail site must be made by
Customer in writing or by e-mail. Before an SVI Retail
representative travels or begins work on Customer's behalf,
SVI Retail will ask for written or e-mail confirmation of
Customer's request. Unless specifically indicated otherwise in

expenses for services that Customer has not approved and SVI

7. TRAVEL EXPENSES:
7.1. In scheduling a visit to Customer's location, SVI Retail
attempts to work with Customer so that the time SVI Retail
spends is used effectively. SVI Retail will assign its
personnel based upon the services to be performed, upon an
ongoing analysis of Customer's needs and upon Customer's
approval. There may be one of SVI Retail`s employees at
Customer's site on some occasions and more than one at other
times. For this reason, and because of the varying lengths of
stay, expenses will vary from visit to visit.
7.2. Expenses can include round trip airfare (regular unrestricted
coach for domestic flights and business class for
international flights), hotel accommodations (Hilton, Hyatt,
Marriott or equivalent in the US and Canada; Hilton, Marriott
or Holiday Inn or equivalent in the UK and Europe; Hilton,
Marriott, Prince or equivalent in Asia-Pacific), meals and
ground transportation (car rental, taxi, train, ferry,
parking, etc.). Any lost deposits or penalties that are
incurred as a result of Customer's canceling a visit after
having confirmed it will be billed to Customer.

* Confidential portions of this document have been redacted and have been
separately filed with the Commission.
7.3. Since SVI Retail's employees might visit more than one user
site during a trip, it is possible that Customer will be
billed for only a portion of the related expenses. The portion
paid by Customer in such a case will be calculated by dividing
the number of hours spent at Customer's site by the total
number of hours for all users visited during the trip, and
then applying this ratio to any common expenses incurred, such
as airfare.
7.4. The amount Customer will be charged for travel expenses will
be determined by the going rates for services in Customer's
area. SVI Retail employees will make their own arrangements
and submit expense claims to SVI Retail. Customer will be
billed for each visit. Copies of completed, approved by SVI
Retail management travel expense reports will accompany all
travel expense invoices. All invoices submitted to Customer
will conform to Customer's Travel Reimbursement Policy
requirements.
8. TIME AND COST:
8.1. SVI Retail will use its commercially reasonable best efforts
to ensure that its software products are installed, Customer's
staff is trained and any conversion or modifications requested
of it are delivered in the time agreed. SVI Retail provides
this assurance based upon the agreed scope of work known at
the time a completion or delivery date is agreed upon.
Customer's actual delivery time could vary based upon the
discovery of information or circumstances not previously known
or beyond SVI Retail's control.
8.2. SVI Retail service estimates are provided as a guideline based
upon our experience with similar requirements in similar
companies. Customer's actual cost could vary from that
estimated due to the discovery of information or circumstances
not then known or beyond SVI Retail's control. Customer's
costs could also vary based upon Customer's desire to use more
or less of SVI Retail's services than those normally used in
similar situations.
8.3. SVI Retail will not be responsible for any errors or omissions
in information, data or services provided by Customer or by
third parties hired by Customer to act on Customer's behalf.

by Customer under this Agreement.
9.2. Each party will endeavor to ensure continuity of its key staff
on the project but reserves the right to make changes if
necessary due to circumstances beyond its control. Should it
become necessary for either party to replace any key member of
its staff involved in the performance of work under this
Agreement, the affected party shall notify the other and will
provide a suitably qualified and experienced replacement
member of staff with as similar a level of skill and
experience to the replaced member of staff as is reasonably
