Information" shall have the same meaning as the term is defined in the Mutual Non-Disclosure Agreement, dated May 10, 2001, between CorpSoft and
Intraware, subject to Section 10.1 below.

provided to Intraware, shall be reasonable, and shall impose restrictions no more stringent than those which apply to order acceptance in any other area of CorpSoft's business.

2.    SCOPE

2.1    Intraware
has experience and expertise in the sale of Sun Microsystems ("Sun") iPlanet E-Commerce Solutions products ("iPlanet") and, as a result, has an established base
of end user iPlanet customers and iPlanet customer prospects in the Territory. Subject to the success of the relationship contemplated hereby, Intraware currently intends to phase out of the business
of reselling iPlanet. CorpSoft intends to enter into a reseller agreement ("iPlanet Agreement") with Sun authorizing CorpSoft to market and resell iPlanet, and to the extent applicable, successor
products to iPlanet, in the Territory.

2.2    CorpSoft
agrees to retain the services of Intraware's sales representatives to obtain purchase orders for iPlanet to Qualified Customers in the Territory as set forth herein.

party benefit and share equally in the operating profits and losses (as specified in the "Operating Income" line in Exhibit C hereto) resulting from the sales alliance herein.

agrees that Intraware shall be its exclusive third party sales organization for iPlanet and Intraware agrees to sell iPlanet exclusively for the benefit of CorpSoft. The
preceding sentence shall not be construed to restrict CorpSoft from selling iPlanet directly through its own sales organization or through independent sales representatives authorized by CorpSoft to
sell software, software licenses, and/or services. Subject to the preceding two sentences, it is agreed that the relationship between the parties is non-exclusive, and each party is free
to pursue any other business opportunities or interests.

2.4    The
relationship of the parties is that of independent contractor. Neither party is an employee, agent, partner, or joint venturer of the other party and CorpSoft and Intraware shall
inform their respective employees of such. Neither party shall represent or imply, directly or indirectly, that it has the authority to represent or bind the other by contract or in any way to incur
obligations of any kind on behalf of the other party or take any action that would lead any person to believe the party has such authority, provided, however, that Intraware, in the course of
performing its obligations under this Agreement, may submit binding quotes to customers for sales of iPlanet, so long as such quotes to do not require CorpSoft to act in a manner inconsistent with its
written customer qualification standards or its written order acceptance policy referred to in Sections 1.2 and 1.3 above, respectively.

term of this Agreement shall commence on July 1, 2001 (the "Effective Date") and shall remain in effect for two (2) years thereafter, unless terminated earlier as

same renewal period. In the event CorpSoft does not enter into an iPlanet Agreement with Sun by July 30, 2001, this Agreement shall terminate on that date and neither party shall have any

party may terminate this Agreement if the other party: (i) commits a material breach of this Agreement and does not cure the breach within thirty (30) days after
receiving the non-breaching party's written notice of the breach or (ii) becomes insolvent, makes a general assignment for the benefit of creditors, suffers or permits the
