available for individual resale. 

        2.8.  Micro
Focus may remove specific releases related to the Programs from the Transaction Exhibit due to that release being withdrawn or decomissioned upon 1 year
prior written notice to VAR. Such notice will also be available on Micro Focus's web site at: <http://www.microfocus.com/products/advisory/withdrawal.asp. VAR may continue to use and
distribute the Programs as provided under this Agreement during such 1 year period. Unless otherwise provided for in the Strategic Support Services Exhibit, support may not be available for
such Programs after they are removed from the Transaction Exhibit. Such removal shall not effect the license rights of End Users who had received the Programs before being removed from the Transaction
Exhibit. Notwithstanding the foregoing, after the removal of a Program from the Transaction Exhibit, VAR shall continue to have the right to add additional licenses for End Users who had previously
licensed the ISV Applications, provided that ISV does not ship further copies of the ISV Application to the End User and ISV makes royalty payments for the Programs as set forth under this Agreement
at the royalty rates in effect immediately prior to being removed from Transaction Exhibit. 

        2.9.    Reproduction License for Software.    At least thirty (30) days prior to general availability of a

rights in the Software; and (iii) all modifications to, and derivative works based upon, the Software. Nothing contained in this Agreement shall be construed directly or indirectly to assign or
grant to VAR any right, title, or interest in or to trademarks, copyrights, patents, or trade secrets of Micro Focus, or any ownership rights in or to the Software. No rights to any Confidential

WILL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS OF VAR, VAR'S DISTRIBUTORS, OR END-USERS. EXCEPT FOR THE EXPRESS WARRANTIES, IF ANY, MADE TO THE END USER OR ASP UNDER THIS AGREEMENT, MICRO FOCUS PROVIDES THE
SOFTWARE TO VAR "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY. MICRO FOCUS DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS
FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. 

12.    Indemnities.    

        12.1. Subject
to compliance with Section 12.3 VAR will assume all liability and defend, indemnify, and hold Micro Focus harmless for any liability due to any VAR
representations, warranties, or guarantees made in excess of Section 6.1, and claims based upon the VAR Product, to the extent that any such claim does not involve the Software. 

        12.2. Subject
to compliance with section 12.3, if a third party claims that the Software as furnished by Micro Focus infringes the third party's Intellectual Property
Rights under Canadian, U.S. or state law, or international copyright treaty or incorporates any misappropriated trade secrets, Micro Focus will indemnify VAR against that claim at Micro Focus'
expense. If an infringement claim appears likely, or is made about the Software, VAR will let Micro Focus, a) modify or replace it, or b) procure for VAR the past right and the future
right to exercise its license under this Agreement. If Micro Focus concludes that neither of these alternatives is available at reasonable expense, Micro Focus (i) may discontinue the Software
by notice to VAR, whereupon VAR will cease further marketing and distribution of that Software and the Transaction Exhibit affected will be terminated, and (ii) reimburse VAR for fees
previously paid to Micro Focus for the Software subject to the infringement claim based upon a three-year depreciation. Micro Focus will have no obligation to indemnify VAR for any claim
based on 1) third-party code, including but not limited to, open source code, or 2) VAR or End-User's modification of the Software, or 3) the combination, operation,
or use of the Software with any product, data, or apparatus that Micro Focus did not approve or certify. The foregoing are Micro Focus's sole and exclusive obligations and VAR's sole and exclusive
remedies with respect to infringement or misappropriation of trade secrets. 

        12.3. The
indemnifying party will pay any settlement amounts it authorizes and all costs, damages, and attorneys' fees that a court finally awards if the other party
a) promptly provides the indemnifying party with written notice of the claim, and b) allows the indemnifying party to control, and cooperates with it, at the indemnifying party's
expense, in the defense of the claim and settlement negotiations, provided such settlement does not materially prejudice the indemnified party. The other party may participate in the proceedings at
its option and expense. 

13.    Limitations of Liability.    

        13.1. Circumstances
may arise where, because of a breach or other liability, one party may recover damages from the other. For all claims brought under this Agreement,
regardless of the basis on which the claim is made (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract or tort claim), each party will only be liable for 1) damages
for bodily injury (including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property, and 2) the amount of any other actual direct damages up to the greater of US $100,000 or the
payments made to Micro Focus for the Software that is the subject of the claim. This Limitation of Liability shall not apply to any amounts due Micro Focus under this Agreement, any claim based on the
Indemnification section, or any breach of either party's Intellectual Property Rights. 

        13.2. Under
this Agreement, neither party will be liable for any special, incidental, or indirect damages or for any economic consequential damages (including lost profits
or savings), even if it has 

7

 

been
advised of the possibility of such damages. Other than for indemnification for infringement, Micro Focus is not responsible for damages arising from or related to the use of the Software outside
of the Territory. 

        13.3. The
parties have agreed that the limitations specified in this Section will survive and apply even if any limited remedy specified in this Agreement is found to have
failed its essential purpose. This Section shall not apply if prohibited by law.

        14.1. Except
as otherwise set forth in Section 14.4.5, this Agreement and its license rights granted under it shall be for a period of 5 years. The parties may
add additional Transaction Exhibit's as mutually agreed. Termination or expiration of the Agreement or any Transaction Exhibit does not affect previously granted paid-up licenses to
End-Users and ASPs, paid-up internal use licenses or any licenses granted to VAR under any other agreements or as otherwise set forth in Section 14.4.5. Termination or
expiration of the Agreement or any Transaction Exhibit does not affect paid-up licenses purchased by VAR for End-Users, ASPs and for internal use prior to the date of
termination or any licenses granted to VAR under any other agreements. 

        14.2. Either
party may terminate this Agreement or a Transaction Exhibit on 30 days' written notice if (i) the other party fails to comply with a material term
of this Agreement or a Transaction Exhibit, unless such failure is cured within the 30-day notice period; (ii) being unable to pay any and/or all of its debts as they become due,
becoming insolvent, ceasing to pay any and/or all of its debts as they mature in the ordinary course of business, or making an assignment for the benefit of its creditors; or (iii) becoming the
subject of any proceeding related to its liquidation or insolvency (whether voluntary or involuntary) which is not dismissed within sixty (60) calendar days. 

        14.3. Micro
Focus may terminate this Agreement and any Transaction Exhibit immediately upon written notice if VAR markets Software on a stand-alone basis or if VAR violates
Micro Focus's Intellectual Property Rights. If VAR markets Software on a stand-alone basis, VAR agrees to pay Micro Focus the difference between the price VAR paid Micro Focus for the Software and
Micro Focus' list price for the Software. Micro Focus may have other remedies under the law and the Agreement. 

        14.4. Other
than as provided for in Section 14.4.5, upon termination or expiration, 

        14.4.1. VAR

        14.4.2. Under
circumstance of VAR's breach of the Agreement, VAR shall pay Micro Focus all amounts owing or to become owing as a result of Software already sold by VAR on or
before the date of such termination. 

        14.4.3. Prior
to expiration of any of the sublicense agreements between VAR and an ASP, Micro Focus will enter into good faith negotiation with VAR's ASPs to enter into an
agreement through which the ASP may continue providing Software to existing ASP Customers at a rate comparable to the rate Micro Focus was charging VAR. 

        14.4.4. Unless
terminated due to a breach by VAR, Micro Focus will honor all orders hereunder received and confirmed prior to the termination or expiration of the Agreement. 

        14.4.5. Micro

ASP or ASP Customer, Micro Focus will offer maintenance and support for the Software directly to such End User, ASP or ASP Customer in accordance with Micro Focus's standard terms and conditions for
such services. 

        14.5.    No Damages for Termination.    Neither party will be liable to the other for damages of any kind on account
of the expiration or termination in accordance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. 

        14.6.    Nonexclusive Remedy.    The exercise by either party of any remedy under this Agreement will be without

SERVICES, OR MAY CONTACT THEIR SUPPORT ACCOUNT MANAGER. IN EITHER CASE, VAR SHALL PROVIDE THE FOLLOWING INFORMATION:

	6.1.1.
	Serial
number (of Software if initial contact) or incident number (if subsequent call to a Reported Error). A new incident number will be assigned at the time the incident is
reported and provided to the VAR for future related calls/inquiries

	6.1.2.
	VAR
information, as needed (name, organization, location, phone number, fax, email)

	6.1.3.

18

 

	6.2.
	Upon
receipt of an Error report, sufficient information and a minimal length COBOL source code program that demonstrates the Reported Error, Micro Focus will use reasonable efforts
to reproduce the Reported Error on the Reference Environment within in a commercially reasonable timeframe. Upon becoming a confirmed Error, Micro Focus will use commercially reasonable efforts to
address the Error in accordance with Section 11.

	6.3.
	The
Micro Focus Support Account Manager and VAR Technical Liaison Coordinator will use reasonable efforts to properly and promptly categorize the appropriate Severity level for each
Confirmed Error. Micro Focus will use reasonable efforts to provide resolution in accordance with Section 5.3. Should the situation arise where, for technical reasons, an Avoidance
Procedure/Correction cannot be found, then Micro Focus will notify VAR of this fact within the time scales noted below. Micro Focus will work with VAR to agree on the course of action to be taken.
Provided that Micro Focus can demonstrate to VAR a valid reason why no Avoidance Procedure/Correction is available, then any inability of Micro Focus to provide an Avoidance Procedure/Correction shall
not be regarded as a breach of the terms of the License or this Exhibit.

	6.4.
	Micro
Focus will provide strategic Support Services to VAR via the Micro Focus Support Account Manager located at Micro Focus's SupportLine facilities in the United States and
Canada. Direct liaison between VAR's organization in other countries and Micro Focus's Strategic Support Service centers can be obtained under separate agreements with the appropriate Micro Focus
office.

	6.5.
	Performance
under this Exhibit will be provided by Micro Focus and will be performed by qualified, competent personnel in a professional manner. Micro Focus will provide the
Strategic Support Service on a diligent effort basis solely for the Software on the specific Reference Environment subject to the terms and conditions of this Exhibit.

	6.6.
	Reference Environment Assistance: When Suspected Errors are reported and they cannot be reproduced in the Reference Environment(s) and
appear to be an operating system defect, Micro Focus will report the defect to the manufacturer of that operating system. In these situations, the operating system vendor will need to correct the
issue.

	7.
	VAR Obligations:

	7.1.
	Technical Liaisons. VAR shall appoint two Technical Liaison members to coordinate the receipt and delivery of all Strategic Support
Services information and elements such as Avoidance Procedures and Updates. The Technical Liaisons will use diligent efforts to channel all communications with Micro Focus regarding Strategic Support
Service through themselves. The Technical Liaisons will be responsible for preparation, delivery and receipt of all Reported Product Issues. VAR may designate backups for each of the designated
technical liaisons.

	7.2.
	Strategic
Support Services will be provided to VAR only directly through its Technical Liaison and not to VAR's customers.

	7.3.
	VAR
agrees to nominate one of the two Technical Liaisons provided for above as VAR's "Technical Liaisons Coordinator" who shall be responsible for prioritizing all activity. VAR
agrees that Maintenance/Emergency releases and Updates will be delivered to VAR Technical Liaison Coordinator, to be distributed, as appropriate within VAR's organization and/or VAR's customer base.

	7.4.
	VAR
agrees that at least one of its Technical Liaisons will be available during the same working hours as the Micro Focus Support Account Manager assigned to them by Micro Focus to
assist in resolving any Errors. Access to the Micro Focus Account Managers will be limited to their normal business hours and that all requests outside these business hours will 

19

 

be
addressed the following business day. However, nothing in this paragraph precludes VAR from using Micro Focus standard support service, which operates 24x7x365. 

	7.5.
	VAR
will be able to change the Technical Liaisons or the Technical Liaisons Coordinator by notifying Micro Focus in writing of such change. VAR agrees to notify Micro Focus promptly
of any changes to these appointments.

	7.6.
	VAR
technical Liaisons are responsible for liaison with VAR's internal and external VARs and for maintaining all other software and hardware which interface with the Software(s).

	7.7.
	VAR
agrees to report Suspected Errors on the Software to the Micro Focus Support Account Manager. The Error report should be accompanied by the as much information as VAR is capable
to describe the Suspected Error and if possible, by the minimum length COBOL source code sufficient to reproduce the Error on the Reference Environment. Failure to use the telephone or web services
may cause a delay in responding to requests for investigations for the cause of such reported Suspected Errors and Avoidance Procedures. The parties agree to work together to try and isolate the cause
and limit the occurrences of such Suspected Errors.

	7.8.
	In
the event that Micro Focus is unable to take a Reported Error and reproduce it at which point it becomes a Confirmed Error, for diagnostic purposes only, VAR shall provide Micro
Focus with direct access to VAR's system on which the Error has occurred for the purposes of remote diagnostic efforts to determine the cause of the Error. The parties will ensure that adequate
non-disclosure agreements are in place to protect the intellectual property of both parties. Such remote access shall be through services such as WebEx, Placeware, and other services which
allow access to receiving systems through secure connections through the Internet.

	7.9.
	VAR
may provide Micro Focus requests for enhancement to Software. Micro Focus shall respond to these requests after an internal development and engineering review. Such response
shall be in a timely manner and Micro Focus is in no way obligated to include these enhancements as part of this Exhibit.

	7.10.
	VAR
agrees that the licenses granted VAR and the use limitations set forth in the License are equally applicable to all Updates furnished under this Exhibit.

	8.
	Items Not Covered By This Exhibit: The following are excluded from the Support Services:

Documentation which have been generally discontinued by Micro Focus for a period exceeding twelve (12) months. VAR will be provided with at least twelve months notice prior to the withdrawal of
Strategic Support Services.

	10.
	Services. Both Micro Focus and VAR recognize that the service commitments in this Exhibit are standards which each will take
commercially reasonable efforts to meet. VAR specifically acknowledges that Micro Focus might not be providing all services directly.

	11.

notice and Micro Focus will refund Strategic Services fees paid in advance for the terminated portion of the Exhibit on a pro rata basis. This remedy does not exclude other remedies that may be
available to a Party under the Agreement.

	11.3.
	Failure
of either party to meet the extended service and support commitments will not lead to a party defaulting on any other contract or underlying agreement.

	11.4.
	Remedy. If Micro Focus fails to fulfill its obligations under this Exhibit, VAR may immediately terminate the Strategic Support
Services for the affected Software. ***. This remedy does not exclude other remedies that may be available to VAR under the Agreement.

	12.

COMPANY or third party -caused delay, to perform or provide, as applicable, any Deliverables, provided that such failure previously was identified by Xansa in a Project Status Report as described in
Section 4.1, then the Milestone date shall be extended on a day-for-day basis to account for the period of delay. COMPANY will control all updates to any Statement of
Work. Each Statement of Work shall be incorporated into and become part of this Agreement and be governed by the provisions of this Agreement. Xansa will not incur any fees or expenses unless

	5.2
	Unavailability

Milestone, or if one or more Milestones already has been missed as a result of such lack of COMPANY personnel, complete the Milestones within a re-adjusted time frame mutually agreed to by
the parties in writing. For T&M Projects, COMPANY shall reimburse Xansa for such additional resources at the Service Rate(s). For Fixed Price projects, the cost of any additional resources will be
borne by Xansa.

	5.3
	Delays.
A Milestone will be achieved successfully only when COMPANY verifies in writing that the activities, events and/or Deliverables that comprise such Milestone have occurred
and/or have been completed in accordance with this Agreement, any applicable Performance Criteria and/or the applicable Statement of Work. Subject to the further terms of this Section 5.3, if
COMPANY reasonably determines that Xansa is likely to fail to meet a Milestone, at COMPANY's option, in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to COMPANY (including the rights
and remedies available to COMPANY under Section 16), Xansa shall provide to COMPANY as many additional Xansa Consultants as may be required or necessary to timely achieve the Milestone. Xansa
will provide these additional Consultants at no charge to COMPANY under Fixed Price projects, and will be reimbursed for such additional Consultants under T&M projects. If Xansa already has failed to
meet one or more Milestones, then in addition to any other rights and remedies that may be available to COMPANY (including the rights and remedies available to COMPANY under
Section 16) Xansa shall complete Milestone(s) within a re-adjusted time frame established by COMPANY, provided that: any adjustment
of a Milestone date shall not operate to adjust any future Milestone date (unless specifically agreed to in writing by COMPANY). Services of any additional consultants provided by Xansa between the
original Milestone date and the re-adjusted Milestone date will be at no charge to COMPANY. COMPANY's acceptance of additional Consultants as provided herein shall not be construed or
implied to constitute a waiver of any of COMPANY's rights as provided in this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, for any Project, Xansa shall not be obligated to provide additional Consultants
at no additional cost to COMPANY if Xansa's failure to achieve any Milestone is (a) due to the occurrence of a Force Majeure Event, (b) by COMPANY solely for its own convenience; or
(c) as a result of COMPANY'S or any third parties failure, for any reason other 

5

 

than
an Xansa-caused delay, to perform or provide, as applicable any Deliverables, provided that such failure was previously identified in a Project Status Report as described in Section 4.1. 

	5.4
	Change
Requests. If either party believes that a change to a Statement of Work is necessary or desirable, such party shall issue to the other a written change request
("Change Request") in the form attached hereto as Exhibit C (which, in the case of a Xansa-initiated Change Request, shall include the items

right to obtain such damages in arbitration or in any other forum. All aspects of the arbitration will be confidential. Neither the parties nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content or
results of the arbitration, except as necessary to comply with legal or regulatory requirements. Each party will promptly pay its share of all arbitration fees (excluding attorneys' fees) and costs,
