7.

LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

7.1

VALIDIAN will not be liable to the LICENSEE for loss of profits, or special,
indirect, incidental, consequential or exemplary damages, including costs or
legal expenses, in connection with the supply, use of performance of the
Software or the performance of its other obligations pursuant to Agreement, even
if it is aware of the possibility of the occurrence of such damages.  In certain
jurisdictions the foregoing limitations may not be effective, in which case the
applicable law will prevail.

7.2

In any event, the total liability of VALIDIAN (including the licensors of
products forming part of the Software) to LICENSEE for any claim under this
Agreement whether it arises by statute, contract or otherwise, will not exceed
the amounts paid to VALIDIAN by LICENSEE under this Agreement for the Software,
Support or Services which form the subject of the claim.  The foregoing limit
does not apply to the indemnity given in Section 9 or to death or personal
injury arising from negligence of VALIDIAN or in respect of accidental loss of,
or damage to LICENSEE’s tangible property, to the extent caused by VALIDIAN, its
employees or subcontractors.  In the latter event of damage to tangible
property, the limit of liability is $1,000,000 (U.S.).

8.

PROPRIETARY RIGHTS

LICENSEE acknowledges that the Software contains confidential and proprietary
information and trade secrets belonging to VALIDIAN and its licensors, and that
title in and rights to the Software remains exclusively with VALIDIAN.
 LICENSEE’s rights to the Software are strictly limited to those granted in this
Agreement.  LICENSEE will not decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse
engineer the Software, except as permitted by applicable law, in which case,
LICENSEE will notify VALIDIAN of its intention to do so and give VALIDIAN the
right of first refusal to perform those activities.

9.

INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION

VALIDIAN will indemnify, defend and hold LICENSEE harmless against any claims,
legal actions, losses and other expenses arising out of or in connection with
any claims that the Software infringes or violates any intellectual property
right of any third party (“Claim”), on the condition that LICENSEE notifies
VALIDIAN promptly in writing of the Claim and gives VALIDIAN sole control of the
defense and negotiations for its settlement or compromise; provided, however,
(i) VALIDIAN shall obtain the prior written consent of LICENSEE (which shall not
be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed) before entering into any
settlement or compromise of such Claim, if the settlement or compromise does not
release LICENSEE and its Affiliates from all liabilities and obligations with
respect to such Claim or the settlement imposes injunctive or other equitable
relief against LICENSEE or any of its Affiliates and (ii) LICENSEE shall be
entitled to participate in the defense of any Claim and to employ separate
counsel of its choice for such purpose.  The fees and expenses of such separate
counsel shall be paid by LICENSEE.  If LICENSEE is, or may become, prohibited
from continued use of any Software by reason of an actual or anticipated Claim,
VALIDIAN will use its reasonable efforts to (a) obtain for LICENSEE the right to
use the Software, or (b) replace or modify such Software so that it is no longer
subject to a Claim, but performs the same functions in an equivalent manner.  If
it cannot do so, VALIDIAN will refund to LICENSEE the unused portion of the
license fees paid in respect of the Software (determined by depreciating the
license fees paid on a straight-line basis over the remainder of any renewal
period) and any corresponding unused fees paid in respect of Support.  VALIDIAN
will have no liability for any Claim based on (i) use of

                                                                  -4-
                                                

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

other than a prevailing release of the Software (if the Claim could have been
avoided by that release and the LICENSEE has been so notified), or (ii) any use
or modification of Software not approved by VALIDIAN.  THIS SECTION STATES THE
ENTIRE RESPONSIBILITY OF VALIDIAN CONCERNING CLAIMS.

10.

TERM & TERMINATION

10.1

The term of this Agreement shall commence on the Effective Date and shall be

party (the “Initial Term”) or (ii) by LICENSEE upon at least 30 days written
notice to VALIDIAN.

10.2

The term and rights of termination of this Agreement and of the SSMA for breach
shall be subject to and pursuant to Section 7 of the SSMA in Schedule C to this

terminate any this Agreement or an SSMA on written notice to the other if the
other party fails to remedy a breach of any material obligation under this
Agreement within thirty (30) days after receiving notice thereof from the

continue to be liable for any obligations arising, liabilities accrued or
amounts payable under this Agreement or that SSMA prior to termination.  In
addition to any other remedies, VALIDIAN may seek injunctive relief in respect

hereto.  Until and unless each party has received a counterpart hereof signed by
the other party hereto, this Agreement shall have no effect and no party shall
have any right or obligation hereunder (whether by virtue of any other oral or
written agreement or other communication).  No provision of this Agreement is

Schedule C to the Software License Agreement ("Agreement") By and Between
Validian Corporation and Ganthet Mobile Corporation dated November 16, 2016

The Software Support and Maintenance Agreement

Introduction

THIS SOFTWARE SUPPORT and MAINTENANCE AGREEMENT (“SSMA”) is entered into between
VALIDIAN Corporation, referred to herein as “VALIDIAN”, and GANTHET MOBILE
CORPORATION, the holder of this license, referred to herein as “LICENSEE”.

The terms of this SMA are as follows:

Section 1.  Software Maintenance Services

1.1

VALIDIAN agrees to provide to LICENSEE corrected or modified versions of the
Software distributed as either patches to existing releases, or as maintenance
releases or new versions of the Software that VALIDIAN makes generally available
to end-users and any master keys or root keys necessary to operate and use the
Software.

1.2

Such modifications, when delivered and installed, shall become part of the
Software and shall otherwise be subject to all of the terms of the License
Agreement to which this SSMA is incorporated by reference.

1.3

New versions are major releases of the software in which platform upgrades,
substantial additional functionality or improved performance are provided.
 Under this maintenance agreement, LICENSEE has the right to receive any new
Realm Credentials and to upgrade their license to the new version of the
software to replace existing versions as long as LICENSEE is current in payment
of any fees under the License Agreement and SSMA have not been terminated.

Section 2.  Error Correction Services

2.1

VALIDIAN shall use reasonable commercial efforts to correct or provide a usable
work-around solution for any Critical Error or reproducible material error in
the Software, within a reasonable period of time.  VALIDIAN agrees, if feasible,
to commence correction within twenty-four (24) hours after such error or
malfunction is detected.  If VALIDIAN, in its discretion, requests written
verification of an error or malfunction discovered by LICENSEE, LICENSEE shall
promptly provide such verification, by email, fax, or overnight mail, setting
forth in reasonable detail the respects in which the Software fails to perform.
 An error or malfunction shall be “material” if it represents a non-conformity
with VALIDIAN's current published specifications for the Software that
interferes with the usability of the Software.  VALIDIAN is not obligated to fix
errors that are not material.  Upon request, LICENSEE shall provide VALIDIAN
remote access to LICENSEE’s computer system for the purpose of remote
diagnostics.

2.2

LICENSEE shall pay VALIDIAN at VALIDIAN's then current time and material rates
for work of VALIDIAN spent investigating an error or malfunction that VALIDIAN
reasonably determines to have been caused by a modification to the Software not
made nor authorized by VALIDIAN.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Section 3.  Telephone Support

3.1

VALIDIAN shall make reasonable email and/or telephone support available to
LICENSEE's designated individual(s) who have been trained in the use of VALIDIAN
software products. Email and telephone support is available between 9 a.m. and 5
p.m. Eastern Time (ET), Monday to Friday excluding U.S. and Canadian National
Holidays, and consists of problem validation and logging, and preliminary
diagnosis of the reported problem.  The intent is to identify a remedy or an
avoidance procedure directly by email or over the telephone.  

Section 4. Request for Modification of the Software Products

4.1

LICENSEE may at any time request that VALIDIAN make additional modifications to
the Software Products to add functions or improve performance.  VALIDIAN shall
respond to a request for such work with the terms on which it may be willing to
undertake such work, but the decision to do so is in the sole discretion of
VALIDIAN.

Section 5.  Delivery

5.1

In order to satisfy any delivery obligation, VALIDIAN may, at its option, send,
have delivered to, or email to LICENSEE corrected Program(s), patches,
modifications, error corrections, fixes, or releases to the Software provided
pursuant to this Agreement, together with installation instructions.
