     legal protection of any country), trade secrets, and other proprietary

     to grant licenses, necessary to exercise the rights granted under this
     Agreement, regardless of when such proprietary rights were first conceived,
     reduced to practice, created, or perfected.

     a.   LICENSED WORKS. Company grants to Novell the non-exclusive, worldwide,
          fully paid-up, and royalty-free (except as otherwise indicated in this
          Agreement) right to use, reproduce, distribute (by sale, lease,

          rental, or otherwise via any medium), display, and perform the
          Licensed Works and any authorized modifications thereto, and to
          directly or indirectly sublicense the foregoing rights. To the extent
          that a Licensed Work has a serial number, enabling key, or other
          similar unlocking mechanism, Novell is authorized to distribute such
          unlocking mechanism separately from the Licensed Work software.

     b.   LOCALIZATION. To the extent that Company does not provide localized
          versions desired by Novell, Company grants to Novell the non-
          exclusive, worldwide, fully paid-up, and royalty-free (except as
          otherwise indicated in this Agreement) right to localize, or have
          localized, the Licensed Works and Licensed Trademarks.

     c.   LICENSED TRADEMARKS. Company grants Novell a worldwide, non-exclusive,
          non-transferable, royalty-free, fully paid-up license to use the
          Licensed Trademarks in connection with the distribution and marketing
          of Licensed Works, and to directly or indirectly sublicense the
          foregoing rights. Company will at all times use commercially
          reasonable efforts to preserve the value and validity of the Licensed
          Trademarks. Company shall notify Novell of all claims that the
          Licensed Trademarks conflict with the rights of third parties. Company
          hereby expressly represents that the existing Licensed Trademarks are
          valid and are the exclusive property of Company. If Novell has a
          substantial business concern that Novell will not be able to freely
          market and distribute the Licensed Works due to a conflict with a
          third party over use of the Licensed Trademarks. Novell shall notify
          Company and Company shall resolve the conflict or provide a
          replacement trademark within five (5) days of Novell's written notice.
          The replacement trademark shall be deemed a Licensed Trademark. If
          Company cannot resolve the conflict or provide a suitable replacement
          trademark in such time period, Novell shall be free to market and
          distribute the Licensed Works under a generic name. If Company later
          provides a suitable replacement name, Novell will discontinue use of
          the generic name and will use the new replacement trademark as soon as
          it is able to do so without incurring additional costs or disruption
          of distribution.

     d.   OWNERSHIP. Unless specifically stated otherwise, this Agreement shall
          not change the ownership of any materials developed or provided under
          this Agreement.

5.   PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS AND DELIVERY. The "PRODUCT REQUIREMENTS" for the
     Licensed Works are the requirements set forth in this section and in
     Exhibit A to this Agreement. Company shall deliver to Novell Licensed
     Works that conform to the Product Requirements. Such deliveries shall be
     in accordance with the schedules set forth in Exhibit A; to any extent
     that Exhibit A does not contain delivery dates for any particular
     deliverable. Company shall provide the deliverable to Novell upon the
     completion of its development.

     a.   CERTIFICATION. The Licensed Works shall qualify for Novell's then
          current Novell product compatibility mark. Qualification is achieved
          by Company meeting certification testing and other DeveloperNet Labs
          requirements.

     b.   PRODUCT DISTRIBUTION QUESTIONNAIRE. Novell requires certain
          information about products prior to distribution. Company shall,
          concurrent with the delivery of any and all Licensed Works pursuant
          to this Agreement, deliver a document providing information in the
          form of the then current Product Distribution Questionnaire, the
          current form of which is attached as Exhibit C. After initial
          delivery of a Licensed Work, Company may provide the required
          information in the form of the then current Supplemental Product
          Distribution Questionnaire, also attached in Exhibit C.

     c.   GLOBALIZATION. Company agrees to enable the Licensed Works for
          localization in compliance with Novell's then current enablement and
          localization standards.

     d.   HARMFUL CODE. The Licensed Works shall be free of Harmful Code.
          Company agrees to implement reasonable procedures adequate to prevent
          any code provided to Novell hereunder from being contaminated with
          Harmful Code. If Company learns or suspects that any code provided to
          Novell under this Agreement contains any Harmful Code, Company will
          immediately notify Novell and remove the Harmful Code. For purposes of
          this section, "HARMFUL CODE" shall mean any code constructed with the
          ability to damage, interfere with, or adversely affect computer
          programs, data files, or hardware without the consent or intent of the
          computer user. This definition includes, but is not limited to,
          self-replacing and self-propagating programming instructions commonly
          called "viruses," "trojan horses" and "worms."

     c.   PARITY WITH NON-NOVELL VERSIONS. Within thirty (30) days of the
          General Availability of any versions of a Licensed Work on a
          non-Novell platform, Company shall deliver a version of the Licensed
          Works for Novell platforms that has functionality equivalent to the
          version of the Licensed Work for the non-Novell platform.
          Functionality shall be equivalent to the maximum extent possible
          taking into account any functional limitations of the Novell platform
          as compared to the non-Novell platform.

     f.   END USER LICENSING. In the copies of the Licensed Works provided to
          Novell, Company will electronically embed (i) Company's end user
          license agreement, with Company as the licensor, that is consistent
          with the purposes of this Agreement, and (ii) the end user
          Documentation.

6.   DEVELOPMENT, MAINTENANCE, AND SUPPORT.

     a.   DEVELOPERNET. Company agrees to join Novell's DeveloperNet program.
          Novell will provide technical support of any Company development
          efforts hereunder through DeveloperNet Labs and, if mutually agreed
          upon, through Novell engineering personnel, in either case such
          support being subject to the terms and conditions of a separate
          DeveloperNet Labs Agreement.

     b.   MAINTENANCE. Company shall provide maintenance for the Licensed Works
          according to the terms and conditions of Sections 5 and 6.

     c.   SECTION 508 MAINTENANCE. Certain legislation, such as Section 508 as
          defined below, creates requirements that information technology
          products be accessible to persons with certain disabilities. Should
          customers, including governments and related entities, be precluded
          from acquiring licenses to the Licensed Works under either the
          requirements of that United States federal law, and associated rules
          and regulations, known as the 1998 Rehabilitation Act Amendments to
          Section 508 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973, or similar laws and
          regulations in other jurisdictions (collectively "SECTION 508"),
          Company will promptly assign senior engineering maintenance staff to
          work full-time until customers are no longer so precluded, and
          Company will otherwise cooperate with Novell in providing any
          materials or information to such customers regarding Section 508
          compliance of the Licensed Works.

     d.   SUPPORT. Company shall provide support to Novell for the Licensed
          Works in accordance with the terms and conditions of Exhibit B
          attached hereto.

7.   MANUFACTURING.

     a.   PACKAGING. Novell shall have reasonable approval rights for the
          appearance and content of Manufactured Product. Novell will have no
          obligation to insert or include any brochure or other materials with
          the Licensed Work. For standalone distribution of the Licensed Work,
          and subject to Section 4.c., Novell shall use Company's trade dress
          and artwork on the packaging to the extent that the packaging
          includes trade dress and/or artwork.

     b.   MANUFACTURING. At Novell's option and request, Company shall, at its
          sole expense, manufacture, build, and deliver Manufactured Product as
          reasonably specified by Novell using a manufacturer approved by
          Novell. If Novell manufactures the Licensed Works, then Company shall
          reimburse Novell for all manufacturing and delivery costs to the
          extent that they do not exceed Company's manufacturing and delivery
          costs. For all Product, Novell will use commercially
          reasonable efforts to provide Company with the following at least
          thirty (30) days prior to Novell's first customer shipment of the
          Licensed works:

          i.   Quantity to be manufactured:

          ii.  The Novell part numbers for the Manufactured Products; and

          iii. Shipping address for delivery of finished Manufactured Product,
               FOB destination.

     c.   INSPECTION. Novell will have the option to inspect the Manufactured
          Products to ensure that its packaging requirements are met. Novell
          will make a good-faith effort not to disrupt the daily operations of
          Company during such inspection.

     d.   MEDIA KITS. Novell offers various forms of direct licensing programs
          to customers whereby the customer receives a media kit that includes
          the Licensed Works and subsequently orders licenses in the desired
          quantity, if any. Company agrees that Novell may distribute and
          offer the Licensed Works in this manner.

8.   CONSIDERATION. Unless otherwise stated in this Agreement, each party shall
     bear its respective costs in performing hereunder. Each party shall
     designate an accounting address, and any payment made by a party hereunder
     shall be sent to the other party at its designated accounting address.

     a.   ROYALTIES. This section sets forth the entirety of Novell's
          obligations to make payments in exchange for the licenses granted to
          Novell under this Agreement. Except as otherwise stated herein,
          Novell shall pay Company Fifty Percent (50%) of Net Revenue from
          Novell's distribution, maintenance, and support of the Licensed Works.

     b.   UPGRADE PROTECTION. If Novell offers upgrade protection for a
          Licensed Work and the upgrade protection period exceeds the effective
          term of this Agreement, Company shall deliver to Novell any upgrades
          that are made Generally Available during the upgrade protection
          period for distribution to upgrade protection customers throughout
          the upgrade protection periods offered.

     c.   PRICING. If Novell lists the Licensed Works on its general price
          list, such suggested retail price ("SRP") of the Licensed Works will
          be at a price that is equivalent to or greater than the SRP offered
          by Company, if any, for the same Licensed Works. Discounts shall be
          determined by Novell at its discretion, but such discounts shall be
          consistent with Novell's routine discounting practices for its own
          products under like programs and volumes. Company shall notify Novell
          of any changes to its SRP for the Licensed Works. Novell shall
          implement a corresponding price change (if required by this section)
          as soon as it is commercially reasonable to do so without incurring
          additional costs or disruption of distribution.

     d.   ROYALTY EXCEPTIONS. The obligation to make payments under this
          section shall not apply to:

               i.   Returned copies of the Licensed Works (e.g., payments
                    previously made on returned copies may be refunded or taken
                    as a credit against payments owed for further copies);

               ii.  Promotions, evaluations, sales demonstrations, and use by
                    training education centers and resellers; and

               iii. Internal use by Novell and its subsidiaries or affiliates.

     e.   PAYMENT AND LICENSE REPORTS. Within sixty (60) days after the end of
          each Novell fiscal quarter, Novell will provide Company with payment
          and a royalty report in a form reasonably determined by Novell.

     f.   AUDIT. The parties will maintain complete and accurate accounting
          records, in accordance with generally accepted accounting practices,
          to support and document amounts due and will retain such records for
          three (3) years after payment is made. A party will, upon written
          request of the other party, provide audit access to such records to a
          mutually acceptable independent accounting firm that is chosen and
          compensated by the other party to examine such books and records to
          verify reports and payments made by the other party. such access will
          be granted only during normal business hours and no more frequently
          than once during any twelve (12) month period. The audit will not
          interfere with the audited party's normal business activity. The
          accounting firm will execute an appropriate non-disclosure agreement
          that requires it to hold all information received during the audit in
          confidence and will be authorized to report to the other party only
          the amount of payments actually due under the Agreement for the
          period examined.

     g.   TAX CONSEQUENCES. All license fees are exclusive of all applicable
          taxes. The party making payment ("PAYER") shall be responsible for
          all sales, use, excise, value added, and/or equivalent taxes arising
          out of the payment and shall either include such taxes with the
          payment or shall provide the other party ("PAYEE"), in advance, with
          a valid exemption certificate or other documentation to successfully
          claim exemption from the tax. Payer shall not be responsible for: (a)
          taxes based upon Payee's net income, capital, or gross receipts, or
          (b) any withholding taxes imposed if such withholding tax is allowed
          as a credit against U.S. income taxes of Payee such as a withholding
          tax on a royalty payment where such withholding is required by law.
          In the event Payer is required to withhold taxes. Payer agrees to
          furnish to Payee all required receipts and documentation
          substantiating such payment. If Payer is required by law to remit any
          tax or duty on behalf of, or for the account of, Payee, then Payee
          agrees to reimburse Payer within thirty (30) days after Payer
          notifies Payee in writing of such remittance.

     Date and shall remain in force for period of two (2) years, unless
     otherwise terminated as provided in this section. After the initial

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

     term of two (2) years, this Agreement shall automatically renew for
     consecutive one (1) year periods unless either party provides written
     notice to the other party at least ninety (90) days prior to the Effective
     Date anniversary. Termination or expiration of this Agreement shall not
     affect any licenses granted to Novell prior to such termination or
     expiration, and such licenses shall not be subject to revocation or
     injunction during the term of this Agreement or thereafter.

     a.   TERMINATION WITHOUT CAUSE. Novell may terminate this Agreement
          without cause upon not less than ninety (90) days written notice to
          Company. Company may terminate this Agreement without cause upon not
          less than ninety (90) days written notice to Novell, provided that
          the effective termination date is after the first anniversary of the
          Effective Date.

     b.   TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Either party may terminate this Agreement for
          the substantial breach by the other party of a material term that

          give the other party written notice of the alleged breach and a
          reasonable period of at least thirty (30) days in which to cure the
          alleged breach. If a cure is not achieved during the cure period,
          then the parties shall submit to mandatory mediation with a mutually
          agreed upon mediator, such mediation to be completed within thirty
          (30) days and to be held in Salt Lake City, Utah. Termination of the
          Agreement may occur upon the expiration of the cure period and the
          subsequent unsuccessful completion of mandatory mediation as required
          by this section by written notice of the non-breaching party. Neither
          party shall be precluded from seeking equitable remedies consistent
          with the terms of this Agreement.

10.  GENERAL TERMS.

     a.   ASSIGNMENT. Neither party may transfer or assign any right or
          obligation set forth in this Agreement without the prior written
          consent of the other party, which consent shall not be unreasonably
          withheld. Such consent shall not be required, however, for transfer
          or assignment to an entity acquiring control of a party hereto.

     b.   CONFIDENTIALITY AND INFORMATION EXCHANGE. It is the intention of
          Company and Novell to transfer and/or exchange information, including
          confidential information, as may be necessary. The disclosing party
          shall be referred to as "DISCLOSER" and the receiving party as
          "RECIPIENT."

               i.   MANNER OF DISCLOSURE; EXTENT OF CONFIDENTIALITY
                    OBLIGATIONS. Confidential information may be disclosed in
                    oral, visual, or written form (including magnetic, optical,
                    or other media). Recipient's obligations shall only extend
                    to Source Code and to confidential information that is
                    marked as confidential at the time of disclosure or that is
                    unmarked (e.g., orally disclosed) but is treated as
                    confidential at the time of disclosure. The specific terms
                    and conditions of this Agreement shall be treated by both
                    parties as confidential information.

               ii.  DEGREE OF CARE. Recipient shall protect the disclosed
                    confidential information by using the same degree of care,
                    but no less than a reasonable degree of care, to prevent
                    the unauthorized use, dissemination, or publication of the
                    confidential information as Recipient uses to protect its
                    own confidential information of a like nature.

               iii. EXPIRATION OF DUTY OF CONFIDENTIALITY. Recipient's duty to
                    hold confidential information in confidence expires five
                    (5) years or, in the case of Source Code, fifteen (15)
                    years after (i) its return or destruction in the case of
                    confidential information embodied in received or developed
                    (whichever is later) Source Code and related descriptions,
                    specifications, and system documentation, or (ii) its
                    receipt or development (whichever is later) in the case of
                    any other confidential information. The expiration of the
                    duty of confidentiality shall not modify other restrictions
                    on Recipient including, for example, any restrictions on
                    distribution of Source Code arising out of a copyright
                    license.

               iv.  EXCEPTIONS TO DUTY. This Agreement imposes no obligation
                    upon Recipient with respect to information that: (a) was in
                    Recipient's possession before receipt from the Discloser;
                    (b) is or becomes a matter of public knowledge through no
                    fault of Recipient; (c) is rightfully received by the
                    Recipient from a third party without a duty of
                    confidentiality; (d) is disclosed by the Discloser to a
                    third party without a duty of confidentiality on the third
                    party; (e) is disclosed under operation of law after all
                    reasonable means have been afforded to the

          laws and regulations when exporting any materials or any items
          licensed or developed under this Agreement or any portion thereof, or
          any system containing such materials or items or portion thereof, or

          is the exporting party's responsibility to comply with the U.S.

          right to cancel or terminate this Agreement for any delay or default
          in performance if such delay or default is caused by unforeseen
          conditions or conditions beyond the control of the delaying or
          defaulting party, including but not limited to acts of God, government
          restrictions, continuing domestic or international problems such as
          wars or insurrections, strikes, fires, floods, work stoppages, and
          embargoes.

     g.   FREEDOM OF ACTION. The parties acknowledge that each party is free to
          (i) enter into agreements that are similar to this Agreement with any
          corporation or other entity, including competitors of the other party,
          (ii) independently develop and/or sell any product or service,

          services or include similar features or functionality.

     h.   INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNITY. Company shall defend, indemnify, and
          hold Novell harmless from any claim made or suit or proceeding brought
          against Novell and its subsidiaries or affiliates, and their
          directors, officers, employees, and agents, including the payment of
          any and all losses, judgments, awards, and costs (including reasonable
          legal fees and expenses) arising out of or related to any claim that
          the Licensed Trademarks or Licensed Works infringe or violate the
          copyright, trademark, trade name, trade secret, patent right or other
          right of any third party. Company will defend at its sole expense all
          suits or proceedings arising out of the claims described above,
          provided that Novell gives Company prompt notice and control of the
          defense of any claim of which it learns. Novell will have the right to
          participate in the defense of any claim involving the use of Licensed
          Works, provided that Company will not be responsible for Novell's
          attorney's fees should Novell elect to participate in such defense.

     i.   INDEPENDENT CONTRACTORS. Each party is and shall remain an independent
          contractor with respect to all performance under this Agreement. No
          employee of either party shall be considered an employee or agent of
          the other party for any purpose. Nothing in this Agreement shall be
          construed to prevent either party from delegating performance under
          this Agreement to independent contractors who have entered into
          written agreements consistent with and at least as restrictive as the
          provisions contained in this Agreement.

     j.   LAWS. The validity, construction, and performance of this Agreement
          will be governed by the substantive laws of the State of Utah without
          regard to any choice of law provisions. The parties agree that any
          dispute relating to this Agreement shall be exclusively subject to the
          courts within the State of Utah after satisfaction of any condition
          precedent stated in this Agreement. The prevailing party in any action
          to enforce the terms of this Agreement entered into hereunder shall be
          entitled to recover its costs and expenses, including reasonable
          attorney's fees, incurred in connection therewith, in addition to any
          other relief to which such party is entitled. Each party shall, at its
          own expense, comply with any governmental law, statute, ordinance,
          administrative order, rule, or regulation relating to its duties,
          obligations, or performance under this Agreement.

          AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN A CONTRACT, TORT, OR OTHER ACTION FOR OR
          ARISING OUT OF ALLEGED BREACH OF WARRANTY, ALLEGED BREACH OF
          CONTRACT, DELAY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE. EXCEPT
          AS TO THE INDEMNITY OBLIGATIONS SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, IN NO
          EVENT SHALL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT TO THE OTHER,
          ITS SUCCESSORS AND ASSIGNS FOR ANY DAMAGES EXCEEDING TOTAL PAYMENTS
          PAID OR DUE BY BOTH PARTIES UNDER THIS AGREEMENT.

     l.   NOTICES. Unless otherwise agreed to by the parties, all notices
          required under this Agreement shall be deemed effective when received

          telephone facsimile transfer with confirmation, addressed and sent to

          addressed to the signatory of this Agreement and a copy addressed to
          the receiving party's General Counsel, legal department, or legal
          representative.

     m.   REPRESENTATIONS, WARRANTIES, AND DISCLAIMER.

               i.   OWNERSHIP. Company represents and warrants that the Licensed
                    Works and Licensed Trademarks do not infringe any entity's
                    or person's patent, copyright, trademark, trade name, trade
                    secret rights, or other proprietary right, that Company has
                    the valid right to grant to Novell all rights to the
                    Licensed Works and Licensed Trademarks granted herein, and
                    that to Company's knowledge there is currently no actual or
                    threatened claim by any third party based on an alleged
                    violation of these rights by Company.

               ii.  DISCLAIMER. EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS
                    AGREEMENT, NEITHER PARTY MAKES ANY WARRANTIES OR
                    REPRESENTATIONS OF ANY KIND, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, WITH
                    RESPECT TO DELIVERABLES, LICENSED WORKS, INFORMATION OR
                    OTHERWISE UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, AND EACH PARTY HEREBY
                    EXPRESSLY DISCLAIMS ALL SUCH WARRANTIES, INCLUDING BUT NOT
                    LIMITED TO THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY,
                    TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
                    PURPOSE.

     n.   SEVERABILITY. If any provision of this Agreement is held by a court
          of competent jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal, or unenforceable,
          the remaining provisions shall remain in full force and effect and
          shall be interpreted, to the extent possible, to achieve the purposes
          of this Agreement as originally expressed. The parties further agree
          to substitute for the invalid provision a valid provision that most
          closely approximates the intent and economic effect of the invalid
          provision.

     o.   SUBSIDIARIES. All rights and licenses granted to Novell in this
          Agreement shall apply to Novell's subsidiaries. Company agrees that
          it may not seek to enforce any obligation of Novell (or its
          subsidiaries) through a legal action brought against a subsidiary
          except to the extent that such action seeks injunctive relief against
          that particular subsidiary. Each party shall remain fully liable for
          the acts and omissions of its subsidiaries relative to this Agreement.

     p.   SURVIVAL OF TERMS. In the event of a termination or expiration of
          this Agreement, all obligations of confidentiality, all provisions
          regarding upgrade protection, all general terms, and all other
          provisions and licenses that by their nature survive termination,
          shall continue in effect in accordance with their terms.

     q.   VOLUME OBLIGATIONS. Neither party shall have an obligation (i) to
          offer any product or service to any third party by way of sale,
          license, or otherwise (ii) to use any minimum level of effort (unless
          expressly stated in this Agreement) in the promotion, marketing,
          licensing, or sales of any products or services, including products
          or services of the other party, or (iii) to purchase, sell, or
          license any minimum amount of products or services from the other
          party. Novell has no obligation to make the Licensed Works available
          or to include any Licensed Work on its price list.

     r.   WAIVER. No waiver of any provision of this Agreement shall be
          effective unless it is set forth in a writing that refers to the
          provisions so waived and is executed by an authorized representative
          of the party

          waving its rights. No failure or delay by either party in exercising

          right, power, or remedy.
