JOINT SALES AND MARKETING AGREEMENT

 

This
Joint Sales and Marketing Agreement (“Agreement) is entered into this 16 day of
July 2004 by and between North Electric Company, Inc., a North Carolina
corporation with a principal place of business at One Springfield Center, 6131
Falls of Neuse Road, Suite 205, Raleigh, North Carolina 27609 (“NECI”), and
Tekno Telecom LLC, a limited liability company with a principal place of
business at 1250 Shore Road, Naperville, Illinois (“Tekno”).

 

WHEREAS,
the parties have independently developed certain products, services, and
capabilities for marketing in and to the telecommunications and related
markets;

 

WHEREAS,
Tekno and NECI believe that certain of their respective products, services, and
capabilities are complimentary and may be more attractive to potential
purchasers when marketed together; and

 

WHEREAS,
the parties are interested in entering into an agreement to jointly market and
sell their respective products, services, and capabilities.

 

NOW,
THEREFORE, in consideration of the foregoing and the mutual covenants set forth
herein, the sufficiency of which consideration is acknowledged to be adequate,
the parties agree to the terms set forth below.

 

A.                                    Definitions

 

1.                                       “Tekno Competitive Products” means any products developed by
NECI at any time which perform functions identical or similar to, or which can
be used for purposes identical or similar to, any one or more Tekno Products.

2.                                       “Tekno Products” means Tekno’s NetAnalzer and NetQuest
products; the services associated with the sale, supply, maintenance, repair,
and support thereof, and any other capabilities of Tekno associated therewith.

3.                                       “NECI Competitive Products” means any products developed by
Tekno at any time which perform functions identical or similar to, or which can
be used for purposes identical or similar to, any one or more NECI Products.

4.                                       “NECI Products” means NECI’s NAS-6131 Network Assurance
Product; the services associated with the sale, supply, maintenance, repair and
support thereof, and any other capabilities of NECI associated therewith.

5.                                       “Solution Set”  is provided as a
placeholder but not included in the initial Agreement.  It is anticipated that this Joint Sales and
Marketing Agreement will result in the Tekno Products and the NECI Products
being integrated and/or operated together to provide a more powerful “Solution
Set” than either product can do in a standalone mode.  When that occurs, this Agreement will be
updated to reflect that “Solution Set”.

agrees to bear its own costs in respect of the negotiation, execution, and
performance of this Agreement.

4.                                       Confidentiality. The terms of the MUTUAL NON-DISCLOSURE
AGREEMENT executed on or about 7/20, 2004 by NECI and on or about 7/20, 2004 by

repeated verbatim.  In addition, the
purposes of the Confidentiality Agreement shall be deemed to include the
performance of this Agreement.
