a. [*].
b. The Parties agree that they shall amend this Agreement as soon as reasonably
possible following the Effective Date to incorporate a mutually acceptable
initial Customer price list for the Licensed Products, and that such initial
price list shall only be amended thereafter by mutual written agreement of the
Parties (the initial and any amended price list referred to as the "Price
List"). [*]. The Parties acknowledge that the goal for completion of the Price
List is December 31, 2002. The Parties agree that from the Effective Date
through the date this Agreement is amended to incorporate the Price List, the
Parties shall mutually agree in writing to the pricing of the Licensed Products
and related services (including Transmission Fees and Subscription Fees) for
each Customer within the Defined Market, in accordance with the pricing
objectives set forth above. During the Term the Parties, through the Advisory
Board or through such other Persons as the Parties may designate, will review

fees. Royalty Payments made by EFI are non-refundable. EFI shall not be relieved
of its obligation to pay Royalties as a result of non-payment by the applicable
Customer or payment terms that may be extended by EFI to the Customer. The
timing for payment by EFI of Royalty Payments to Axeda is set forth in Schedule
7.a. EFI shall be entitled to offset any Royalties due or paid to Axeda with
respect to hardware which has been subsequently returned to EFI in compliance
with EFI's ninety (90) day right of return policy for hardware sales, against
any Royalty Payment amount due for that particular quarter.

import, export, manufacture or EFI's possession or use of the Licensed Software
as included in the Licensed Product and/or the Licensed Products and/or related
services or measured by any Royalty Payment made by EFI to Axeda hereunder.
d. Interest. Any Royalty Payment which is delayed (other than by reason of force
majeure, as described in Section 21) beyond the forty-five (45) day period
specified in Schedule 7.a. shall be subject to a ten percent (10%) annual
interest rate, compounded annually from the beginning of such forty-five (45)
day period until paid.

problems, and testing corrections and work-arounds.
d. Maintenance Services. Axeda will use commercially reasonable efforts to
correct all verifiable and reproducible Errors to the Licensed Software within a
commercially reasonable period of time and consistent with the support and
maintenance policies set forth in Schedule 14.a. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Axeda shall make such Maintenance Releases available to EFI no later than the
date Axeda releases such items to any of its other licensees. As used herein,
"Error" means a failure of the then current Maintenance Release to conform to
the material functional specifications in the end user documentation supplied by
Axeda. Axeda shall not be responsible for correcting Errors resulting from
misuse, negligence, revision, modification, or improper use of the Licensed
Software or any portion thereof by EFI or Customers; provided such Errors were
not caused by any action or inaction that was recommended or approved by

REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

Axeda. Axeda shall provide Maintenance Releases directly to EFI, and EFI
shall be responsible for duplicating and distributing the same to Customers who
are active on and fully paid up on maintenance services.
e. Professional Services. All Professional Services to be provided to Customers
in connection with the Licensed Software (except in connection with Specified
Controllers) shall be provided by Axeda pursuant to agreements entered into
between Axeda and the Customer. Notwithstanding the above, to the extent that
Axeda has certified a third party as a provider of Professional Services, then
such third party may be used to provide Professional Services to Customers upon
the written consent of Axeda.

11
c. Notwithstanding the provisions of Sections 16.a. and 16.b., neither
party shall have any obligation to defend, indemnify or hold harmless pursuant
to Sections 16.a. or 16.b. with respect to any Proceedings, Judgments and/or
Liabilities arising out of any Claim of direct infringement, where there would
be no direct infringement but for the combination of the Licensed Software with
any of the other hardware and/or software comprising the Licensed Product.
d. If EFI's use of the Licensed Software or the Licensed Trademarks is
enjoined by an injunction, Axeda shall, at its expense, procure for EFI the
right to continue using the Licensed Software as provided hereunder, modify the
Licensed Software so that it is no longer infringing, or replace the Licensed
Software with computer software of equal or superior functional capability, or
in the case of trademark infringement, instruct EFI to use an alternative
trademark. The rights granted to EFI in this Section 16 shall be EFI's sole and
exclusive remedy and Axeda's sole obligation for any alleged infringement of any
patent, copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right by Axeda for the
Licensed Software or the Licensed Trademarks. Notwithstanding any other
provision of this Agreement, Axeda will have no liability to EFI for direct
infringement resulting from (a) EFI's modification of the Licensed Software or
Licensed Trademarks that has not previously been authorized by Axeda, (b) use of
the Licensed Software or Licensed Trademarks in connection or in combination
with equipment, devices, or software not provided by Axeda where there would be
no direct infringement but for such combination, (c) use of any Licensed
Software or Licensed Trademarks in a manner not intended under this Agreement or
(d) distribution by EFI of other than the most current release of the Licensed
Software provided to EFI (if such infringement would have been prevented by the
use of such release). The foregoing shall not affect claims made against EFI
alleging infringing use of the Licensed Software in the Licensed Products
distributed prior to the date Axeda made available such current release to EFI.

confidence set forth in this Section 19.
d. Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Receiving Party
may disclose appropriate portions of Confidential Information to those of its
employees or independent contractors who have a substantial need to know the
specific information in question in connection with the Receiving Party's
exercise of rights or performance of obligations under this Agreement, provided

competent jurisdiction to disclose Confidential Information, or if it is served

such order to permit the Disclosing Party to respond as set forth in this
subparagraph;

REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
13

Party's Confidential Information and all copies thereof in the Receiving Party's
possession or control shall be returned to the Disclosing Party or destroyed by

termination or expiration is in connection with a Source Code Escrow Agreement
release condition, in which case copies need to be returned upon expiration of
the rights identified in Section 8 or the Source Code Escrow Agreement relating
to a license in the Source Materials). The Receiving Party shall then certify
the same in writing and that no copies have been retained by the Receiving Party
or its employees or agents.
k. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, each Party agrees that
money damages would not be a sufficient remedy for any breach of Section 19 this
Agreement and that in addition to all other remedies that may be available, each
Party shall be entitled to seek equitable relief as a remedy for such breach.
20. ADVISORY BOARD; DISPUTE RESOLUTION PROCEDURE
a. Advisory Board.
i. The Parties contemplate that disagreements between the Parties may
arise over time, and that it may be difficult for the Parties to
easily come to mutual agreement on how best to proceed under this
Agreement. In order to ensure that the business relationship under
this Agreement continues to meet the Parties' respective and mutual
business objectives, the Parties will form an advisory board (the
"Advisory Board") consisting of two to three senior managers from each
Party. Each Party shall determine which of its senior managers shall
be on the Board. Each Party may change its Advisory Board members from
time to time, within its discretion. The Advisory Board shall meet at
least once each calendar quarter to review the status of the Parties'
business relationship and to determine whether and to what extent any
amendments to this Agreement are mutually desirable or other changes
to the Parties' business relationship are mutually desirable. The
Advisory Board shall also be consulted in the event that the Parties
anticipate that a Dispute (as defined below) may arise so that such
potential Dispute may be avoided.
b. Escalation. In the event that the Parties have any disagreement, dispute,
breach or claim of breach, non-performance, or repudiation arising from, related
to or in connection with this Agreement or any of the terms or conditions
hereof, or any transaction hereunder including but not limited to either Party's
failure or alleged failure to comply with any of the provisions of this
[*] CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE THAT IS MARKED BY "[*]" HAS BEEN OMITTED
AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN
REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
14
Agreement (hereinafter collectively a "Dispute"), the Parties shall first
attempt to resolve the Dispute internally among the members of the Advisory
Board. To the extent such communications among the members of the Advisory Board
are in furtherance of resolving a Dispute, such communications shall be
considered to be for purposes of settlement, and such communications shall be
without prejudice to either Party in the event that any Dispute is adjudicated
between the parties, and such communications shall be inadmissible as evidence
in any proceeding between the parties concerning such Dispute, to the maximum
extent permitted by the applicable rules of evidence. If a Dispute is not
resolved by the foregoing discussions within thirty (30) days of a written
request for resolution, the Parties may mutually agree to submit the dispute to
the American Arbitration Association for arbitration by a single arbitrator
selected by the Parties. Such arbitration shall be governed by the commercial
arbitration rules of the American Arbitration Association.
c. Inability to Resolve Dispute. Notwithstanding the provisions of this Section
20, either Party may seek equitable relief at any time without the necessity of
first complying with the provisions of this Section 20.
21. FORCE MAJEURE
Neither Party to this Agreement will be liable for any delay in
performance or inability to perform due to acts of God or the public enemy, war,
riot, embargo, fire, explosion, sabotage, flood, accident; or without limiting
the foregoing any circumstance of like or different character beyond its
reasonable control; or interruption of or delay in transportation, shortage or
failure of supply of raw materials or finished merchandise, labor trouble from
whatever cause arising; or compliance with any order, direction or request of
any governmental officer, department or agency.
22. TERM; TERMINATION; AND RENEWAL
a. Term and Renewal. The initial term of this Agreement shall be for five (5)
years from the Effective Date (the "Initial Term"). This Agreement will
automatically renew for successive one (1) year periods unless both Parties
mutually agree in writing to terminate the Agreement after the Initial Term or
any renewal term (the Initial Term, and any renewal thereof, collectively, the
"Term").
b. Termination.
i. Consent. The Parties may mutually agree in writing at any time to
terminate this Agreement.
ii. One-Year Termination Notice. Either Party, at any time after the
first year of the Initial Term of the Agreement, may give written
notice to the other Party of its intention to terminate the Agreement.
Upon the receipt of such written notice of termination, (i) the
Exclusivity Covenants of the terminating party (the "Terminating
Party") shall remain in effect until the actual termination of this
Agreement, (ii) the Exclusivity Covenants of the other Party shall
automatically terminate and shall be of no further force or effect as
of the date of such notice of termination, and (iii) the effective
date of termination of the Agreement shall occur one (1) year
following the date of receipt of such notice of termination.
iii. Material Breach. In the event either Party materially breaches
any of its duties or obligations hereunder, which breach shall not be
cured within thirty (30) days after
[*] CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE THAT IS MARKED BY "[*]" HAS BEEN OMITTED
AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN
REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
15
written notice is given specifying the breach, then the non-breaching
Party may, by promptly giving written notice thereof to the breaching
Party, terminate this Agreement as of a date specified in such notice
of termination. If EFI breaches any of its obligations set forth in
Section 4.c., which breach shall not be cured within five (5) days
after (i) written notice is given specifying the breach and clearly
stating the five (5) day cure period for such breach, and (ii) such
notice of the alleged breach and the five (5) day cure period is
provided by at least one of Axeda's Advisory Board members to at least
one of EFI's Advisory Board members, then Axeda may, by promptly
giving written notice thereof to EFI, terminate this Agreement and/or
any license hereunder as of a date specified in such notice of
termination. If Axeda breaches any of its obligations set forth in
Sections 8.b. through 8.e., which breach shall not be cured within
thirty (30) days after (i) written notice is given specifying the
breach and clearly stating the thirty (30) day cure period for such
breach, and (ii) such notice of the alleged breach and the thirty (30)
day cure period is provided by at least one of EFI's Advisory Board
members to at least one of Axeda's Advisory Board members, then EFI
may, by promptly giving written notice thereof to Axeda, terminate
this Agreement as of a date specified in such notice of termination.
iv.
v. Bankruptcy. If either Party files a petition (or is the subject of
an involuntary petition) in bankruptcy; or is or becomes insolvent; or
admits of a general inability to pay its debts as they become due;
then this Agreement shall immediately terminate automatically and
without notice.
c. Effect of Termination.
i. The licenses granted under Section 3 shall terminate upon the
termination of this Agreement. All authorized sublicenses of Licensed
Software to Customers pursuant to License Agreements shall continue
after termination of this Agreement until the termination of such
License Agreements; provided that any amendments to such License
Agreements shall require the written consent of Axeda.
ii. In the event of any termination of this Agreement, EFI shall be
obligated to continue to pay Axeda Royalties under the Revenue sharing
arrangement in connection with (a) License Agreements entered into
before such termination ("Existing Customer Contracts"); and (b) any
Revenue that EFI receives after termination from Customers in
connection with Licensed Products sold, distributed or otherwise
deployed in the Defined Market. Neither Party shall enter into any
agreement in the Defined Market after the termination of this
Agreement with respect to Licensed Products that have been installed
or embedded prior to the termination date, or with respect to Customer
Support following the termination date without the written consent of
the other Party.
iii. No termination of this Agreement for any reason shall relieve
either Party of or release either Party from those of its obligations
hereunder which subsist or are to be performed after such termination,
including, without limitation, EFI's obligation to make Royalty
Payments to Axeda hereunder pursuant to Section 22.c.ii above.
iv. The Parties shall agree to commercially reasonable and mutually
acceptable obligations of each Party to provide post-termination
Customer Support, and shall use best efforts to do so within thirty
(30) days following the termination of this Agreement.
v. The following provisions shall survive termination of this
Agreement: Sections 4, 6, 7, 8 (terminating at the end of Axeda's
post-termination support obligations pursuant to Schedule 22.c.iv.),
11, 13, 16, 17, 18, 19, 22 and 23.

neither Party has, and neither Party shall attempt to assert, the authority to
make commitments for or to bind the other Party to any obligation.
d. Effect of Partial Invalidity. If any one or more of the provisions of this

the other Party of any provision of this Agreement shall in no way affect the
right of such Party to require performance of that provision. Any waiver by

AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN
REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
24
without the express prior written consent of Axeda, (iv) not copy any Software,
except that Customer may make one machine-readable copy of each Software
product for security backup purposes only and may copy the Software when the
copying is an essential step in the use of the Software permitted by the
License, (v) limit access to Software to its employees and consultants who
require access in connection with Customer's use of Software and who have agreed
in writing or are otherwise legally bound to observe Customer's obligations
hereunder, (vi) take all reasonable precautions to prevent unauthorized or
improper use or disclosure of the Software, and (vii) reproduce on any copies of
Software, and not remove, all titles, trademarks, and copyright and other
proprietary or restrictive legends or notices. Customer's nondisclosure
obligations shall not apply to any information, which is or becomes publicly
available through no fault of Customer; is independently developed by Customer
without use of Axeda's confidential information; or is rightfully obtained
without restriction on disclosure through a chain of parties not originating in
the breach of any obligation to Axeda. Customer specifically agrees that, in the
event that a material breach by Customer of its obligations under this Section,
Axeda shall be entitled to an injunction or similar equitable relief ordering
the cessation of such breach immediately upon request to a court of competent.
7.3 Security Measures. Axeda may from time to time implement password
protection, anticopying subroutines or other security and/or license management

notice to inspect the location(s) at which the Software is being used or kept
and the computers on which it is being used.
8. WARRANTY; INDEMNITY; DISCLAIMERS.
8.1 Warranty. Axeda represents and warrants that it is the lawful owner or
licensee of the Software, that to the best of its knowledge, the Software does
not infringe upon any U.S. patent, trademark, copyright or other intellectual
property right of any other party, and that Axeda has full legal power and
authority to license the Software to the Customer as provided in this Agreement.
8.2 Indemnity. If a claim is made or an action brought that Software (or any
component thereof) infringes a United States patent, copyright, or trademark,
Axeda will indemnify Customer and hold it harmless against such claim and
resulting costs, damages and attorneys fees finally awarded or agreed to in
settlement, provided that (i) Customer promptly notifies Axeda in writing of the
claim, and (ii) Axeda has sole control of the defense and all related settlement
negotiations. Axeda's obligations under this Section are conditioned on
Customer's agreement that if the Software, or the use or operation thereof,
becomes, or in Axeda's opinion is likely to become, the subject of such a claim,
Axeda may at its expense, either procure the right for Customer to continue
using the Software or, at Axeda's option, replace or modify the same so that it
becomes non-infringing (provided such replacement or modification does not
materially adversely affect Customer's intended use of the Software as
contemplated hereunder). If neither of the foregoing
[*] CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE THAT IS MARKED BY "[*]" HAS BEEN OMITTED
AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN
REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
25
alternatives is available on terms which are reasonable in Axeda's
reasonable judgment, Customer will return the Software on written request by
Axeda and Axeda will credit or (at Customer's option) refund to Customer license
fees paid for such Software less depreciation on a straight line basis over an
assumed five-year life. Axeda shall have no liability for any claim based upon
(a) the combination, operation or use of any Software with materials not
supplied by Axeda if such claim would have been avoided by use of the Software
alone (b) a modification of any Software that is not done or expressly
authorized in writing by Axeda, or (c) use of other than the latest commercially
available version of the Software provided to Customer, to the extent the
infringement would have been avoided by use of such version. THE FOREGOING
STATES THE SOLE REMEDY OF CUSTOMER AND THE ENTIRE OBLIGATION OF AXEDA WITH
RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT.
8.3 DISCLAIMERS. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THERE ARE NO
WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR OTHERWISE, REGARDING OR
RELATING TO SOFTWARE OR TO ANY OTHER MATERIALS, GOODS OR SERVICES FURNISHED TO
CUSTOMER HEREUNDER OR IN CONNECTION HEREWITH. AXEDA SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS ALL
IMPLIED WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION THOSE OF MERCHANTABILITY,
FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AND NON-INFRINGEMENT. Software programs for
business use are inherently complex, and Customer is solely responsible for the
evaluation of its software requirements, selection of software to satisfy those
requirements, and verification of resulting data.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Except with respect to Axeda's obligation under
Section 8.2, and regardless of the form of action (whether in contract, tort,
breach of warranty or otherwise), IN NO EVENT (i) SHALL AXEDA'S (OR ITS
LICENSORS' OR SUPPLIERS') MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ALL DAMAGES EXCEED ACTUAL DIRECT
DAMAGES CAUSED BY THE SPECIFIC PRODUCT OR SERVICE COMPLAINED OF, (ii) SHALL
AXEDA'S (OR ITS LICENSORS' OR SUPPLIERS') MAXIMUM LIABILITY FOR ALL DAMAGES
EXCEED THE TOTAL AMOUNT OF LICENSE FEES PAID HEREUNDER PLUS SERVICES FEES PAID
HEREUNDER IN THE 12 MONTH PERIOD PRECEDING THE APPLICABLE CLAIM, OR (iii) SHALL
AXEDA (OR ANY OF ITS LICENSORS OR SUPPLIERS) BE LIABLE FOR INCIDENTAL,
CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL OR INDIRECT DAMAGES (INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED
TO LOST BUSINESS PROFITS AND LOSS, DAMAGE OR DESTRUCTION OF DATA) EVEN IF AXEDA
HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF THE SAME. No limitation as to damages for
personal injury is hereby intended. Some states do not allow the exclusion or
limitation of incidental or consequential damages under certain circumstances
and the above exclusion or limitation may not apply.
10. TERM AND TERMINATION. This Agreement shall become effective upon execution
by authorized representatives of both Axeda and Customer and shall continue in
effect until terminated in accordance with its terms. Axeda may terminate this
Agreement and/or any License or Sales Schedule
[*] CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE THAT IS MARKED BY "[*]" HAS BEEN OMITTED
AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN
REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
26
hereunder (i) if Customer breaches any of its obligations set forth in
Section 7, then upon written notice specifying such breach, effective two (2)
business days after receipt unless Customer cures such breach within the two (2)
day period, or (ii) if Customer breaches any other material obligation under
this Agreement with respect to any License(s) or Sales Schedule (including
without limitation any payment obligation), then by written notice to Customer,
effective as to such License(s) and/or Sales Schedule 30 days after receipt
unless Customer cures such breach within the 30-day period. On termination of
any License, Customer shall make no further use of the affected Software and
shall immediately deliver to Axeda or destroy the original and all copies of
such Software and provide its notarized certificate to Axeda that it has done
so, except that upon Axeda's written consent (which shall not be unreasonably
withheld) Customer may retain a copy of any terminated Software solely for
archival purposes. Termination shall not affect any rights accrued prior
thereto. Sections 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12 shall survive termination of this
Agreement or any License.
11. DISPUTE RESOLUTION. In the event of any controversy, dispute or claim
between Axeda and Customer under, arising out of or related to this Agreement
(including but not limited to, claims relating to breach, termination, fraud or
misrepresentation, or the invalidity, illegality or voidness of this Agreement)
whether based on contract, tort, statute or other legal theory (collectively
referred to hereinafter as "disputes"), the parties shall follow the dispute
resolution procedures set forth below. The parties shall first attempt to
resolve a dispute, at the written request of either party, through discussions
between an authorized senior management representative of Axeda and an
authorized senior management representative of Customer. If a dispute is not
resolved by the foregoing discussions within thirty (30) days, the parties
agree, at the written request of either party, to submit the dispute to a sole
mediator selected by the parties or, at the option of either party, to mediation
by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA"). The good faith pursuit of the
foregoing mediation procedure is a condition precedent to the commencement of
any arbitration or other legal proceedings hereunder.

void.

"Initial Response Time" is the goal for the time for Axeda to verify,
acknowledge and assess the reported defect and to estimate the time for delivery
of the resolution.
"Resolution Response Time Goal" is the best-case estimate of the time required
to provide a documented fix that restores full functionality to the customer.
3.0 The following is the problem severity description:
Severity 1 - Critical Business Impact
The Software, in a supported configuration, has complete loss of service for
which no workaround exists and the Customer's use of the Software cannot
reasonably continue until the problem is resolved.
Severity 2 - Serious Business Impact
The Software is causing significant or degraded loss of Customer's use. This can
be defined as a major product flaw with a workaround, or a minor product flaw
without a workaround. The customer's workflow is seriously impacted but product
use has not stopped.
Severity 3 - Minor Business Impact.
The Software has minor loss of Customer's use. This can be defined as a minor
product flaw with a workaround or a minor problem with a non-integral part of
the Software's workflow that does not impact general use of the product.
Severity 4 - Information Request with No Business Impact.
The Software is in full working mode but information is requested or reported.
Customer's work is not being impeded at this time.
4.0 Additional Terms:
o Third party products (those not owned by Axeda) may be subject to
a vendor initiated upgrade fee. In this case Axeda will pass this
fee on to their Customers.
o Axeda will not be responsible to provide service or support when
the problem is the result of faulty hardware or software that (i)
Axeda did not provide or (ii) Axeda has not contracted with
Customer to support under this agreement. Axeda reserves the right
to xxxx Customer for such non-supported service at Axeda's
standard time and material charges for services that fulfill this
criteria.
o Maintenance services are not on-site services. If Customer needs
or desires on-site maintenance services, such services are
available at Axeda's standard time and material charges.
o Axeda may discontinue support and maintenance for any Software
product that Axeda has discontinued. In such event, Axeda will
credit Customer's account for a pro rata portion of any prepaid
maintenance fees under this Agreement.

AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN
REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
32
o Customer shall pay Axeda an annual maintenance fee, per
licensed copy of a Software product for which Customer is
receiving Maintenance, equal to the percentage of the net
software price or other pricing mechanism in effect at the
beginning of each annual maintenance term. Axeda reserves the
right to change its maintenance fees from time to time by written
notice to Customer, provided (i) that no such change will be
effective until the beginning of the following annual maintenance
term or ninety (90) days after such notice, whichever is later,
and (ii) that no maintenance fees shall be increased by more than
seven (7%) during any 12-month period (except increases due to
additional licenses). Fees do not include sales, use, value added
or other excise tax. Customer shall pay or (if paid by Axeda)

License Agreement or (ii) the signing of this Agreement by the Parties, Axeda
shall deliver to DSI the proprietary technology and other materials ("Deposit
Materials") required to be deposited by the License Agreement. Such Deposit
Materials will be identified on Exhibit A hereto, and Exhibit A is to be
prepared and signed by Axeda and EFI. DSI shall have no obligation with respect
to the preparation, signing or delivery of Exhibit A.
1.2 Identification of Tangible Media. Prior to the delivery of the Deposit
Materials to DSI, Axeda shall conspicuously label for identification each
document, magnetic tape, disk, or other tangible media upon which the Deposit
Materials are written or stored. Additionally, Axeda shall complete Exhibit B to
this Agreement by listing each such tangible media by the item label
description, the type of media and the quantity. Exhibit B shall be signed by
Axeda and delivered to DSI with the Deposit Materials. Unless and until Axeda

REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.
39
1.3 Acceptance of Deposit. When DSI receives the Deposit Materials, DSI will
conduct a deposit inspection. At completion of the deposit inspection, if DSI
determines that the labeling of the tangible media matches the item descriptions
and quantity on Exhibit B, DSI will date and sign Exhibit B and mail a copy
thereof to Axeda and EFI. If DSI determines that the labeling does not match the
item descriptions or quantity on Exhibit B, DSI will (a) note the discrepancies
in writing on Exhibit B; (b) date and sign Exhibit B with the exceptions noted;
and (c) mail a copy of Exhibit B to Axeda and EFI. DSI's acceptance of the
deposit occurs upon the signing of Exhibit B by DSI. Delivery of the signed
Exhibit B to EFI is EFI's notice that the Deposit Materials have been received
and accepted by DSI. Other than DSI's inspection of the Deposit Materials, DSI
shall have no obligation to the accuracy, completeness, functionality,
performance or non-performance of the Deposit Materials.
1.4 Axeda's Representations. Axeda represents as follows:
-----------------------
a. Axeda lawfully possesses all of the Deposit Materials deposited with
DSI;
b. With respect to all of the Deposit Materials, Axeda has the right
and authority to grant to DSI and EFI the rights as provided in this Agreement;
c. As of the effective date of this Agreement the Deposit Materials are
not the subject of a lien or encumbrances, however, any liens or encumbrance
made after the execution of this Agreement will not prohibit, limit, or alter
the rights and obligations of DSI under this Agreement;
d. The Deposit Materials consist of the proprietary technology and
other materials identified in the License Agreement and Exhibit A; and
e. The Deposit Materials are readable and useable in their current form
or, if any portion of the Deposit Materials is encrypted, the decryption tools
and decryption keys have also been deposited.
1.5 Available Verification Services.
a. DSI shall perform an initial verification ("Initial Verification")
of the Deposit Materials upon the initial deposit and for each update. An
Initial Verification determines, in different levels of detail, the accuracy,
completeness, sufficiency and quality of the Deposit Materials. An Initial
Verification is defined as follows: DSI will cause a technically qualified DSI
employee to evaluate the Deposit Materials in order to identify (a) the hardware
and software configurations reasonably necessary to maintain the Deposit
Materials; (b) the hardware and software configurations reasonably necessary to
compile the Deposit Materials; and (c) the compilation instructions. DSI will
then prepare and deliver to Axeda and EFI a report describing the information so
identified. It shall be the responsibility of Axeda, and not DSI, to ensure that
the Deposit Materials contain the information so identified in DSI's report, as
well as any other information that may be required in the License Agreement.
b. Upon receipt of a written request from EFI, DSI and EFI may enter
into a separate proposal agreement pursuant to which DSI will agree, upon
certain terms and conditions, to inspect the Deposit Materials for the purpose
of verifying its accuracy, completeness, sufficiency and quality ("Verification
Proposal Agreement"). Axeda shall reasonably cooperate with DSI by providing its
facilities, computer software systems, and technical and support personnel for
verification whenever reasonably necessary. If a verification is elected after
the Deposit Materials have been delivered to DSI, then only DSI, or at DSI's
election, an independent contractor or company selected by DSI, may perform the
verification. EFI shall bear the commercially reasonable costs of each such
verification performed as specified in
[*] CERTAIN INFORMATION ON THIS PAGE THAT IS MARKED BY "[*]" HAS BEEN OMITTED
AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE COMMISSION. CONFIDENTIAL TREATMENT HAS BEEN
REQUESTED WITH RESPECT TO THE OMITTED PORTIONS.

this Section 1.5(b). EFI shall have no right to be present at any
inspection or verification of the Deposit Materials under the terms of this
Agreement.
1.6 Deposit Updates. Axeda shall update the Deposit Materials by depositing a
complete copy of all Maintenance Releases within sixty (60) days of each major
release and any modification and/or development of Licensed Software under
Section 2 within fifteen (15) days after Axeda provides such materials to EFI in
accordance with the License Agreement. Such updates will be added to the
existing deposit. All deposit updates shall be listed on a new Exhibit B and the
new Exhibit B shall be signed by Axeda. Each Exhibit B will be held and
maintained separately within the escrow account. An independent record will be
created which will document the activity for each Exhibit B. The processing of
all deposit updates shall be in accordance with Sections 1.2 through 1.5 above.
All references in this Agreement to the Deposit Materials shall include the
initial Deposit Materials and any updates. DSI shall notify Axeda in writing
semi-annually of Axeda's obligation to make updated deposits. Within thirty (30)
days of receipt of each such notice, Axeda shall certify in writing to DSI that
(a) it has made the updated deposits as required in the immediately preceding

2.1 Confidentiality. DSI shall maintain the Deposit Materials in a secure,
environmentally safe, locked facility which is accessible only to authorized
representatives of DSI. DSI shall have the obligation to reasonably protect the
confidentiality of the Deposit Materials. Except as provided in this Agreement,
or any subsequent agreement between the Parties, DSI shall not disclose,
transfer, make available, or use the Deposit Materials. DSI shall not disclose
the terms of this Agreement to any third party. If DSI receives a subpoena or
any other order from a court or other judicial tribunal pertaining to the
disclosure or release of the Deposit Materials, DSI will immediately notify the
parties to this Agreement unless prohibited by law. It shall be the
responsibility of Axeda and/or EFI to challenge any such order; provided,
however, that DSI does not waive its rights to present its position with respect
to any such order. DSI will not be required to disobey any order from a court or
other judicial tribunal, including but not limited to, notices delivered
pursuant to 7.6 below.

necessary to duplicate the Deposit Materials including but not limited to the
hardware and/or software needed. Any copying expenses incurred by DSI as a
result of a request to copy will be borne by the party requesting the copies.
Alternatively, DSI may notify Axeda requiring its reasonable cooperation in
promptly copying the Deposit Materials in order for DSI to perform this
Agreement.
3.3 Right to Transfer Upon Release. Axeda hereby grants to DSI the right to

Materials.
ARTICLE 4 -- RELEASE OF DEPOSIT

before making the release. Any copying expense will be chargeable to EFI. This
Agreement will terminate upon the release of the Deposit Materials held by DSI.
