the audit.
4.0 PRE-DELIVERY TESTING, DELIVERY, ACCEPTANCE, AND DEVELOPMENTS
4.1 Prior to delivery, RP shall perform all testing necessary to ensure
that the Licensed Product(s) comply with its written specifications
and are compatible with Dell systems. RP shall appoint a designated
systems engineer who shall be available to provided reasonable support
to Dell in all areas relating to the Licensed Product(s). Such
designated systems engineer will work with Dell on any modifications
to the Licensed Product(s) that the parties mutually agree are
necessary to fully support Dell's systems and their features.
4.2 RP shall, at its expense, deliver a master copy of the Licensed
Product(s) to Dell in accordance with the schedule set forth in the
Supplement. RP also shall, at its expense, deliver to Dell, within
fifteen (15) days of Dell's request, but not earlier than the
commercial release of same, all Updates and Fixes to the Licensed
Product(s) made during the term of this Agreement. RP shall inform
Dell of the existence of a major Update or Fix at least thirty (30)
days prior to making such an Update or Fix generally available or
within five (5) days for a minor Update. Upon Dell's request and as
available, RP shall provide Dell with a pre-release copy of any Update
or Fix. RP shall deliver a master copy of its standard end user
license agreement and a copy of the Licensed Product's written
specifications at the same time RP delivers the Licensed Product(s).
4.3 RP shall deliver the candidate final version of each initial Licensed
Product at least thirty (30) days prior to Dell's code freeze date as
stated in the Supplement. Dell's code freeze date for a Licensed
Product shall occur six (6) calendar weeks prior to Dell's planned FCS
date as stated in the Supplement. Upon Dell's receipt of such
candidate final version of each initial Licensed Product and each
Update, Dell shall have thirty (30) days to conduct those tests that
Dell deems appropriate to determine whether the Licensed Product: (i)
complies with its written specifications, (ii) contains any Errors and
(iii) is compatible with Dell's systems ("Test Criteria"). If Dell
discovers a problem and notifies RP of such problem in detail during
such thirty (30) day period, Dell will notify RP and RP will have
fifteen days (15) to fix the problem and deliver a corrected version
of the Licensed Product or Update to Dell. Upon receipt of the
corrected version, Dell will have fifteen (15) days to test the
corrected version of the Licensed Product. If Dell reasonably
determines that there is still a problem, Dell will have the option of
rejecting the Licensed Product or agreeing upon a fix strategy with
RP. This acceptance and correction process shall continue for so long
as the parties agree. If Dell rejects the Licensed Product or Update
after the second or any subsequent submission to Dell, any up front
payments previously made by Dell to RP relating to such Licensed
Product or Update, if any, shall be refunded in their entirety within
thirty (30) days of Dell's rejection. If Dell decides to agree on a
fix strategy, such decision shall not be deemed an acceptance of the
Licensed Product. In fact, each version of the Licensed Product
delivered to Dell, in accordance with the fix strategy, will go
through the acceptance process set forth above. If Dell does not
notify RP of any problem within the initial thirty (30) day test
period or any fifteen (15) day test period, then the Licensed Product
shall be deemed accepted by Dell.
4.4 RP agrees to allow Dell to fund engineering projects to be done by RP
for specific Dell needs with respect to improvements and enhancements
to, or in conjunction for use with, the Licensed Products subject to
agreement by RP and Dell as to the terms and conditions of the

development. Pricing for such projects will not exceed the reasonable
industry standard costs of development. On a project-by-project basis,
both parties must agree in advance to separate written statements of
work as to the specifications and scope of such development and to the

ownership of, or exclusive or nonexclusive rights to (as appropriate),
the resulting work product and related intellectual property rights;
***. RP and Dell agree to share product roadmaps on a regular basis

product line. Each party agrees that the other party's plans regarding
future development are confidential.
4.5 During the term of this Agreement, *** RP will offer Dell an
opportunity to evaluate such new product to determine whether Dell
wants to license such new product. The process for such evaluation
will be that RP shall provide Dell with an architectural overview and
proposed commercially reasonable royalty for the product. Dell shall
have thirty (30) days to inform RP whether it has an interest in
licensing such product. If Dell informs RP that it is interested in
licensing such product, then the parties shall agree on a product
review schedule. The product review schedule shall conclude with a
final design review. Dell shall have thirty (30) days after the final
design review to inform RP whether it intends to license such product.
In the event Dell fails to notify RP within either thirty (30) day
period, such failure to notify shall be deemed to be non-acceptance of
the product. *** If Dell agrees to license such new product from RP,
the new product will be added to this Agreement as a Licensed Product,
subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the agreed
to royalty, ***. Prior to the addition of a new product to the
Supplement, the parties will agree on a schedule for Dell's
introduction of the new Licensed Product to Dell's customers that will
include at a minimum the RP code freeze date, the Dell code freeze
date and the planned FCS date for such Licensed Product, the
appointment of business and technical contacts for each party to
monitor compatibility issues and other Licensed Product release
issues, all of which shall be stated in the Supplement.
4.6 In the event that RP is unable to comply with the terms of the agreed
upon schedule for Licensed Product introduction as a result of events
solely within RP's control, RP will reimburse Dell for all direct
costs and expenses incurred by Dell, ***, as a result of RP's
non-compliance with this Section. Provided, however, that no such
reimbursement shall be due unless RP's non-compliance extends beyond
thirty (30) days after Dell's code freeze date.

commercial introduction of the Licensed Product(s). Additional
training periods for Updates shall also be provided within a mutually
agreed upon time period. RP agrees to waive all training fees with
respect to such training.
5.2 During the term of this Agreement, and provided that Dell is current
in its royalty payments to RP, RP shall, at RP's expense, provide
third level ongoing technical support, maintenance and services for
the Licensed Product(s) directly to Dell. Should RP become aware of
any reproducible Errors or be notified by Dell of any Errors in the
Licensed Product(s), RP shall promptly take appropriate measures to
correct such Errors and provide such corrections in accordance with
the time frames set forth below. RP shall provide, at RP's expense,
reasonable assistance in correcting difficulties caused by Errors,
including, but not limited to, phone assistance to Dell customer
service staff.
5.3 Dell shall provide, at its own expense, all first and second level
installation and support services to its end users with respect to the
Licensed Products. Dell shall be solely responsible for all first
level support to end users. First level support shall include call
acceptance from end users with diagnosis of problems to determine if
they relate to hardware, operating software or application software,
whether provided by Dell, RP or third parties. Dell shall be
responsible for investigating and collating all software related
Errors in the Licensed Products as reported by end users and for
attempting to apply known maintenance releases previously supplied by
RP to Dell. Any unresolved suspected Errors relating to the Licensed
Products may be referred by Dell to RP for third level support.

EXHIBIT B
DELL SOFTWARE LICENSE AGREEMENT
This is a legal agreement between you, the user, and Dell. By using the
software, you agree to be bound by the terms of this agreement. If you do not
agree to these terms, promptly return all software items (disks, written
materials, and packaging) for a full refund.
You may use one copy of the software on only one computer at a time. If you
have multiple licenses for the software, you may use as many copies at any time
as you have licenses. "Use" means loaded in temporary memory or permanent
storage on the computer. Installation on a network server solely for
distribution to other computers is not "use", if you have a separate license
for each computer to which the software is distributed. If users will exceed
the number of licenses, you must have a reasonable process to assure that the
number of persons using the software concurrently does not exceed the number of
licenses.
The software is protected by United States copyright laws and international
treaties. You may make one copy of the software solely for backup or archival
purposes or transfer it to a single hard disk provided you keep the original
solely for backup or archival purposes. You may not rent or lease the software
or copy the written materials accompanying the software, but you may transfer
the software and all accompanying materials on a permanent basis, if you retain
no copies and the recipient agrees to the terms, hereof. Any transfer must
include the most recent update and all prior versions. You may not reverse
engineer, decompile or disassemble the software. If the package contains 3.5"
and 5.25" disks, you may use only the disks appropriate for your computer. You
may not use the disks on another computer or network, or loan, rent, lease, or
transfer them to another user except as permitted by this agreement.
LIMITED WARRANTY
Dell warrants that the software disks are free from defects in materials and
workmanship under normal use for ninety (90) days from the date you receive
them. This warranty is limited to you and is not transferable. Any implied
warranties are limited to 90 days. Some jurisdictions do not allow limits on
the duration of an implied warranty, so this limitation may not apply to you.
The entire liability of Dell and its suppliers, and your exclusive remedy,
shall be (a) return of the price paid for the software or (b) replacement of
any disk that does not meet this warranty which is sent with a return
authorization number to Dell, at your cost and risk. This limited warranty is
void if any disk damage has resulted from accident, abuse, misapplication, or
service or modification by someone other than Dell. Any replacement disk is
warranted for the remaining original warranty period or 30 days, whichever is
longer. Dell does not warrant that the functions of the software will meet your
requirements or that operation of the software will be uninterrupted or error
free. You assume responsibility for selecting the software to achieve your
intended results, and for the use and results obtained from the software. Dell
disclaims all other warranties, express or implied, including but not limited
to implied warranties of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose,
for the software and all accompanying written materials. This limited warranty
gives you specific legal rights. You may have others, which vary from
jurisdiction to jurisdiction.
In no event shall Dell or its suppliers be liable for any damages whatsoever
(including, without limitation, damages for loss of business profits, business
interruption, loss of business information, or other pecuniary loss) arising out
of use or inability to use the software, even if advised of the possibility of
such damages. Because some jurisdictions do not allow an exclusion or limitation
of liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may
not apply to you.
U.S. GOVERNMENT RESTRICTED RIGHTS
The software and documentation are provided with Restricted Rights. Use,
duplication or disclosure by the Government is subject to restrictions as set
forth in subparagraph (c)(1)(ii) of the Rights in Technical Data and Computer
Software clause at DFARS 252.227-7013 or subparagraphs (c)(1) and (2) of the

set forth above or if you fail to comply with any term hereof. Upon
