12. GENERAL PROVISIONS
------------------
12.1 Independent Contractors. The relationship of Lynx and Licensee
-----------------------
established by this Agreement is that of independent contractors, and nothing
contained in this Agreement shall be construed (i) to constitute the parties as
partners, joint venturers, co-owners or otherwise as participants in a joint or
common undertaking. All financial obligations associated with Licensee's
business are the sole responsibility of Licensee. All sales and other agreements
between Licensee and its customers are Licensee's exclusive responsibility and
shall not affect Lynx's obligations under this Agreement. Licensee shall be
solely responsible for, and shall indemnify, defend, and hold Lynx harmless of
any costs, liabilities and expenses against all claims, damages, and lawsuits
arising from the acts and omissions of Licensee, its employees, servants, agents
or any of them, provided that Lynx provides Licensee with (i) prompt written
notice of such claim or action, (ii) sole control and authority over the defense
or settlement of such claim or action and (iii) proper and full information and
reasonable assistance to defend and/or settle any such claim or action. Licensee
will not be liable for any costs or expenses incurred without its prior written
authorization.
12.2 Governing Law. This Agreement shall be interpreted and governed by
-------------
the laws of the State of New York, without reference to conflict of laws
principles.
12.3 Jurisdiction. For any disputes arising out of this Agreement the
------------
parties consent to the personal and exclusive jurisdiction of, and venue in, the
state or federal courts within Monroe County, New York.
12.4 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, along with a Support Agreement if
----------------
required, constitutes the entire and exclusive Agreement(s) between the parties
hereto with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes and cancels all
previous registrations, agreements, commitments and writings in respect thereof.
12.5 Modification. No Modification to this Agreement, nor any waiver of
------------
any rights, shall be effective unless assented to in writing by the party to be
charged, and the waiver of any breach or default shall not constitute a waiver
of any other right hereunder or any subsequent breach or default.
12.6 Assignment. This Agreement and the license provided hereunder are not
---------
assignable without the prior written consent of Lynx which shall not be
unreasonably withheld. Any attempt at assignment without such consent shall be
null and void and of no force and effect.
12.8 Disputes. The parties will attempt to settle any claim or controversy
--------
arising out of this Agreement through good faith negotiations and mutual
cooperation. If those attempts fail, then the dispute will be first submitted to
a mutually acceptable neutral advisor for mediation. Neither party may
unreasonably withhold acceptance of such an advisor, and selection of the
advisor shall be made within forty-five (45) days after written notice by one
party demanding such resolution. The cost of such mediation shall be shared
equally by both parties. Any dispute, which cannot be resolved between the
parties within one hundred eighty (180) days of the date of the initial demand
by either party for such mediation, shall be finally determined by the courts.
6
The use of such a procedure shall not be construed to affect adversely the
rights of either party under the doctrines of laches, waiver or estoppel.
Nothing in this paragraph shall prevent either party from resorting to judicial
proceedings if: (A) good faith efforts to resolve a dispute under these
procedures have been unsuccessful: or (B) interim resort to a court is necessary
to prevent serious and irreparable injury to a party or to others. This section
shall not apply to claims or disputes relating to intellectual property rights.
12.9 Compliance with U.S. Export and Re-export Controls. Licensee and its
--------------------------------------------------
agents and emp1oyees shall not disclose, transfer, export, or re-export,
directly or indirectly, any software, technology (or direct products thereof)
provided under this Agreement to any destination, end user, or end use
prohibited under the U.S. Export Administration Regulations or any other
applicable export control laws, without the prior written approval of the U.S.
Department of Commerce or other relevant agency. This clause shall survive
termination or lapse of the Agreement.
12.10 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be
------------
invalid by a court of competent jurisdiction, then the remaining provisions
will nevertheless remain in full force and effect. The parties agree to re-
negotiate in good faith any term held invalid and to be bound by the mutually
agreed substitute provision.
12.11 No Waiver. The failure of either party to enforce any term or
---------
condition of this Agreement shall not constitute a waiver of that party's rights
to enforce subsequent breaches of any term or condition under this Agreement.
12.12 Notices. Any notices required to be given under this Agreement shall
-------
be in writing and addressed to the respective party at the address shown on the
first page of this Agreement or such other address as may be provided by each
party from time-to-time. Notices shall be effective when received and shall be
sent by certified or registered mail, return receipt requested, or by overnight
courier.
12.13 Force Majeure. Neither party shall be liable to the other for its
-------------
failure to perform any of its obligations under this Agreement, except for
payment obligations, during any period in which such performance is delayed
because such services were rendered impracticable or impossible due to
circumstances beyond the responsible party's reasonable control, provided that
the party experiencing the delay promptly notices the other of the delay. Any
Technical Support to be performed at Licensee's facility, as referenced in
Exhibit D, section 6.0, may not be performed if Lynx reasonably believes
conditions at such facility represent a safety or health hazard to any Lynx
employee.
The terms and conditions on Exhibits "A," "B," "C," and "D" are attached hereto
and made a part hereof.

--------------------------
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
SOFTWARE LICENSE. The following terms apply to copyrighted software and the
accompanying documentation, including but not limited to operating system
software, provided with or within the Equipment ("Base Software") as well as
software specifically set out as "Application Software" on the face of this
Agreement. This license does not apply to any Diagnostic Software nor to any
software and accompanying documentation made subject to a separate license
agreement.
A. Licensee grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use the Base
Software only on or with the Equipment with which (or within which) it was
delivered and to make one back-up copy. For Application Software, Licensee
grants you a non-exclusive, non-transferable license to use this software on any
single unit of equipment you desire along with the right to make one back-up
copy for as long as you are current in the payment of any indicated software
license fees (including the Annual Renewal Fees, if any). You have no other
rights to the Base or Application Software and, in particular, may not (1)
distribute, modify, create derivatives of, decompile, or reverse engineer the
Base or Application Software, or (2) allow others to engage in same. Title to
the Base and Application Software, any back-up copy of it, and all copyrights
and other intellectual property rights in it, shall at all times reside solely
with Xerox and/or its licensors.
B. Xerox may terminate your license for any Base Software (1) immediately if
you no longer use or possess the Equipment or are a lessor of the Equipment and
your first lessee no longer uses or possesses it or (2) upon the date of
termination of any agreement under which you have rented or leased the
Equipment.
C. If you transfer possession of the Equipment, Xerox will offer the transferee
a license to use the Base Software on or with it, subject to Xerox' then-
applicable terms and license fees, if any, and provided the transfer is not in
violation of Xerox' rights.
D. Xerox warrants that the Base and Application Software will perform in
material conformity with its published specifications for a 90-day period from
the date it is delivered or, for software installed by Xerox, the date of
software installation. Neither Xerox nor its licensors warrant that the Base or
Application Software will be free from errors or that its operation will be
uninterrupted.
SOFTWARE SUPPORT. During the period that Xerox provides Basic Services for the
Equipment, Xerox will also provide software support for the Base Software under
the following terms. For Application Software, Xerox will provide this same
level of support provided you are current in the payment of all Initial License
and Annual Renewal Fees (or, for programs not requiring Annual Renewal Fees,
the payment of the Initial License Fee and the annual "Support Only" Fees):
A. Xerox will assure that Base and Application Software performs in material
conformity with its published specifications and will maintain a toll-free
hotline during standard business hours for responding to questions regarding
Base and Application Software.
10
B. Xerox may make available new releases of the Base or Application Software
that exclusively incorporates coding error fixes ("Maintenance Releases").
Maintenance Releases are provided at no charge and must be implemented within
six (6) months after being made available to you. Each new Maintenance Release
accepted by you shall be considered Base or Application Software governed by the
Software License terms.
C. Xerox will use reasonable efforts, either directly and/or with its vendors,
to resolve coding errors or provide workarounds or patches, provided you report
problems in the manner specified by Xerox.
D. Xerox shall not be obligated to remedy coding errors if you have made
modifications to the Base or Application Software.
E. Xerox may annually adjust the Annual Renewal and Support-Only Fees, each such
increase not to exceed 10%. (For state and local-government customers, this
adjustment shall take place at the commencement of each of your annual contract
cycles.)
