b.                         Application
of Required Monthly Payment. The amount paid by Strategic to Access in
accordance with Section 6.a. of this Agreement shall be applied to the
Indebtedness as follows: first, to the payment of accrued interest; second, to
the payment of the principal amount of the Note that is accruing interest at
the lower rate on the date such payment is made; and third, to the payment of
the principal amount of the Note that is accruing interest at the higher rate
on the date such payment is made. Notwithstanding anything appearing in this
Agreement to the contrary, the Past Due Trade Debt will not be required to be
paid prior to January 1, 2006 unless a Default shall occur and be continuing.

 

c.                          Prepayment
of Principal of Notes. In the event Strategic pays the entire principal
amount of the Notes prior to the stated maturity thereof, Strategic shall
simultaneously pay the Past Due Trade Debt owing at such time.

 

d.                         Excess
Cash Flow Recapture. Commencing on the date Access receives Strategic’s
financial statements for the month of June, 2005, and continuing on each date
that Access receives Strategic’s monthly financial statements for each sixth
month thereafter, Strategic shall pay to Access an amount equal to 100% of
Excess Cash Flow for the six month period ending on the last day of such

 

10

 

month, which amount shall
be applied to the Indebtedness in such order as Access shall elect in its
discretion.

 

e.                          Credits.
All credits which are due to Strategic which are issued pursuant to purchases
or other items or which are evidenced by invoices shall be applied to the
Indebtedness evidenced by the invoice to which such credit relates or if such
invoice has previously been paid, to Indebtedness by order of earliest invoice
date.

 

f.                           Net
Proceeds. Strategic shall pay all of the Net Proceeds to Access for
application to the outstanding Indebtedness in such order and manner as Access
shall determine in its discretion, except that if Strategic sells its real
property located at 301 Gregson Street, Cary, North Carolina for an amount in
excess of the fair market value of such property as determined by the appraisal
required to be obtained by Section 8.m.(i) of this Agreement, then Strategic
can pay up to $150,000 of such excess in the aggregate to Michael G. Shook and
William M. Shook to reduce Strategic’s Indebtedness for Money Borrowed owing to
Michael G. Shook and William M. Shook described on Schedule 11.a. attached. If Strategic makes such a payment or
payments, Strategic shall promptly notify Access to whom such payment or
payments was made and in what amount or amounts and shall confirm to Access the
remaining balance of the Indebtedness for Money Borrowed owing to Michael G.
Shook and William M. Shook.

 

7.                         Cash
Dominion; Deposit Accounts.

 

a.                         Lockbox
Account. Strategic has caused to be established and shall maintain with
Wachovia Bank, National Association (“Wachovia”) the blocked account
described on the attached Exhibit D
(the “Lockbox Account”) in connection with the lockbox described on the
attached Exhibit D (the “Lockbox”).
Strategic has instructed and shall continue to instruct all of its customers to
remit to the Lockbox all checks and other items in payment of accounts owing by
them to Strategic and to remit to the Lockbox Account any ACH, wire transfer or
other electronic payment of such accounts. In addition, Strategic shall
promptly cause to be deposited into the Lockbox Account: (i) all proceeds of
any and all of the Collateral received by Strategic, including all amounts
payable to Strategic from credit card issuers and credit card processors; and
(ii) all amounts on deposit in deposit accounts used by Strategic at each of
its locations. Strategic hereby ratifies and reaffirms its agreements contained
in that certain Account Control Agreement (No Notification) dated January 1,
2003 among Wachovia, Strategic and Access.

 

b.                         Transfers
from the Lockbox Account. Access shall cause collected funds in the Lockbox
Account to be disbursed to Strategic only in accordance with the procedures
described in this paragraph. All requests by Strategic for disbursements of
collected funds to Strategic from the Lockbox Account shall be made by
Strategic to Access in writing, and Access shall either notify Strategic that
such disbursement request is being rejected or shall authorize disbursement of
such amounts as requested by Strategic. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Access
shall authorize disbursement requests made by Strategic for the payment of
accrued income and sales taxes, accrued withholding taxes, accrued payroll
(including accrued commissions and accrued amounts payable under Strategic’s
variable compensation plans), accrued employee benefits and insurance premiums
(the “Obligatory Payments”); provided, however, Access shall have the right
during the continuance of a Default to refuse to authorize disbursement
requests to pay Obligatory Payments but only after notifying Strategic during a
month in which Obligatory Payments are accruing that Access will no longer
authorize disbursements to pay Obligatory Payments accruing after such month.
Such authorization for disbursement shall be made or rejected by Access within
48 hours of a written request by Strategic to Access, provided, that if such 48
hour period would end on a non-Business Day, then such period shall be extended
until such same time

 

11

 

on the next Business Day.
In the event that Access fails to approve or reject any such request within
such 48 hour period, the request shall be deemed rejected. If a Default shall
not have occurred and be continuing, collected funds in the Lockbox Account
that are not disbursed to Strategic shall be retained in the Lockbox Account
pending a written request for disbursement from Strategic. If a Default shall
have occurred and be continuing, Collected funds in the Lockbox Account that
are not disbursed to Strategic may be applied by Access as payments of the
Indebtedness described in Section 5 of this Agreement, which payments may be
applied in such order as Access shall elect in its discretion. For the
avoidance of doubt, it is understood and agreed that amounts that may be
applied by Access in accordance with the immediately preceding sentence shall not
include Obligatory Payments accruing in or prior to a month in which Access has
notified Strategic that Access will no longer authorize disbursements to pay
Obligatory Payments. Strategic shall instruct Wachovia to provide Access with
access to any on-line banking or electronic services with which to facilitate
the transfers from the Lockbox Account described in this paragraph. Except as
otherwise specifically set forth in this Section 7.b with respect to
disbursements to pay Obligatory Payments, all decisions by Access to disburse
collected funds to Strategic from the Lockbox Account shall be made by Access
in its sole and absolute discretion, and no such disbursement or disbursements
shall establish a custom or course of dealing between Access and Strategic.

 

c.                          Current
Bank Accounts. Strategic represents and warrants that all its bank accounts
are currently with Wachovia and that a complete listing of the Wachovia bank
accounts and their respective account numbers set forth on the attached Exhibit D. Strategic hereby ratifies and
reaffirms its agreements contained in that certain Account Control Agreement
(With Future Notification) dated January 1, 2003 among Wachovia, Strategic and
Access.

 

8.                         Representations,
Warranties and Affirmative Covenants. To induce Access to enter into this
Agreement, Strategic represents and warrants to Access (each of which
representations and warranties shall survive the execution and delivery of this
Agreement), and promises to and agrees with Access for so long as any of the
Indebtedness shall remain outstanding, as follows:

 

a.                         Corporate
Existence; Compliance with Law. Strategic: (a) is, as of the date of this
Agreement, and will continue to be (i) a corporation duly organized, validly
existing and in good standing under the laws of the jurisdiction of its
incorporation, (ii) duly qualified to do business and in good standing in each
other jurisdiction where its ownership or lease of property or the conduct of
its business requires such qualification, except where the failure to be so
qualified could not reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect,
and (iii) in compliance with all Requirements of Law and Contractual
Obligations, except to the extent failure to comply therewith could not,
individually or in the aggregate, reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect; and (b) has and will continue to have (i) the requisite
corporate power and authority and the legal right to execute, deliver and
perform its obligations under the Loan Papers, and to own, pledge, mortgage or
otherwise encumber and operate its properties, to lease the property it
operates under lease, and to conduct its business as now, heretofore or
proposed to be conducted, and (ii) all licenses, permits, franchises, rights,
powers, consents or approvals from or by all Persons or Governmental
Authorities having jurisdiction over Strategic that are necessary for the
conduct of its business.

 

b.                         Corporate
Power; Authorization; Enforceable Obligations. The execution, delivery and
performance by Strategic of the Loan Papers to which it is a party: (a) are and
will continue to be within Strategic’s power and authority; (b) have been and
will continue to be duly authorized by all necessary or proper action; (c) are
not and will not be in violation of any Requirement of Law or Contractual
Obligation of Strategic; and (d) do not and will not require the consent or
approval of any Governmental

 

12

 

Authority or any other
Person. As of the date of this Agreement, each of the Loan Papers shall have
been duly executed and delivered on behalf of Strategic, and each of the Loan
Papers upon such execution and delivery shall be and will continue to be a
legal, valid and binding obligation of Strategic, enforceable against it in
accordance with its terms, except as such enforcement may be limited by
bankruptcy, insolvency and other similar laws affecting creditors’ rights
generally.

 

c.                          Intellectual
Property. As of the date of this Agreement, all material Intellectual
Property owned or used by Strategic is listed, together with application or
registration numbers, where applicable, in Schedule
8.c. Strategic owns, or is licensed to use, all Intellectual
Property necessary to conduct its business as currently conducted except for
such Intellectual Property the failure of which to own or license could not
reasonably be expected to have a Material Adverse Effect. Strategic will
maintain the patenting and registration of all patented and registered
Intellectual Property with the United States Patent and Trademark Office, the
United States Copyright Office, or other appropriate Governmental Authority and
will promptly patent or register, as the case may be, all new Intellectual
Property which Strategic determines should be patented and registered to
protect its interests therein and notify Access in writing within five (5)
Business Days after the filing any such new patent or registration.

 

d.                         Full
Disclosure. No information contained in any Loan Papers or Financial Statements
delivered to Access or any written statement furnished by or on behalf of
Strategic to Access under any of the Loan Papers, or to induce Access to
execute this Agreement, contains any untrue statement of a material fact or
omits to state a material fact necessary to make the statements contained
herein or therein not misleading in light of the circumstances under which they
were made.

 

e.                          Insurance.
As of the date of the Agreement, Schedule
8.e. lists all insurance of any nature maintained for current occurrences
or claims by Strategic, as well as a summary of the terms of such insurance.
Strategic shall deliver to Access certified copies and endorsements to all of
its (a) “All Risk” and business interruption insurance policies naming Access
loss payee, and (b) general liability and other liability policies naming
Access as an additional insured. All policies of insurance on real and personal
property will contain an endorsement, in form and substance acceptable to
Access, showing loss payable to Access (Form 438 BFU or equivalent) and extra
expense and business interruption endorsements. Such endorsement, or an
independent instrument furnished to Access, will provide that the insurance
companies will give Access at least 30 days prior written notice before any
such policy or policies of insurance shall be altered or canceled and that no
act or default of Strategic or any other Person shall affect the right of
Access to recover under such policy or policies of insurance in case of loss or
damage. Strategic shall direct all present and future insurers under its “All
Risk” policies of insurance to pay all proceeds payable thereunder directly to
Access. If any insurance proceeds are paid by check, draft or other instrument
payable to Strategic and Access jointly, Access may endorse Strategic’s name
thereon and do such other things as Access may deem advisable to reduce the
same to cash. Access reserves the right at any time, upon review of Strategic’s
risk profile, to require additional forms and limits of insurance as determined
by Access in its reasonable commercial judgment. Strategic shall, from time to
time at the request of Access, deliver to Access a report by a reputable
insurance broker, satisfactory to Access, with respect to Strategic’s insurance
policies. Access shall be entitled to cause copies of Strategic’s insurance
policies and binders to be inspected from time to time by an insurance expert
acceptable to Access at Strategic’s cost.

 

f.                           Taxes.
Except as disclosed on Schedule 8.f.,
all tax returns, reports and statements required by any Governmental Authority
to be filed by Strategic have, as of the date of this Agreement, been filed and
will be filed with the appropriate Governmental Authority and no tax lien has
been filed against Strategic or any of Strategic’s property. Proper and
accurate amounts have been and will be

 

13

 

withheld by Strategic
from its employees for all periods in compliance in all material respects with
all Requirements of Law and such withholding have and will be timely paid to
the appropriate Governmental Authorities. Schedule
8.f. sets forth as of the date of this Agreement those taxable years
for which Strategic’s tax returns are currently being audited by the IRS or any
other applicable Governmental Authority and any assessments or threatened
assessments in connection with such audit, or otherwise currently outstanding.

 

g.                          Litigation.
No litigation is pending or, to the knowledge of Strategic, threatened by or
against Strategic or against any of Strategic’s properties or revenues (a) with
respect to any of the Loan Papers or any of the transactions contemplated
hereby or thereby, or (b) which could reasonably be expected to have a Material
Adverse Effect. Except as set forth on Schedule
8.g., as of the date of this Agreement there is no litigation
pending or threatened against Strategic which seeks damages in excess of
$50,000 or injunctive relief or alleges criminal misconduct of Strategic.
Strategic shall notify Access promptly in writing upon learning of the
existence, threat or commencement of any litigation against Strategic, any
ERISA Affiliate or any Plan or any allegation of criminal misconduct against
Strategic.

Estate; Property. The real estate listed in Schedule 8.h. constitutes all of the real property owned,
leased, or used by Strategic in its business, and Strategic will not execute
any material agreement or contract in respect of such real estate after the

thereof. Strategic holds and will continue to hold good and marketable fee
simple title to all of its owned real estate, and good and marketable title to
all of its other properties and assets, and valid and insurable leasehold interests
in all of its leases (both as lessor and lessee, sublessee or assignee), and
none of its properties and assets are or will be subject to any liens, except
Permitted Encumbrances.

 

i.                             ERISA.
No ERISA Event has occurred or is reasonably expected to occur that, when taken
together with all other existing ERISA Events, could reasonably be expected to
result in a liability of Strategic of more than $50,000. The present value of
all accumulated benefit obligations of Strategic under each Plan (based on the assumptions
used for purposes of Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 87) did
not, as of the date of the most recent Financial Statements reflecting such
amounts, exceed the fair market value of the assets of such Plan by more than
$50,000, and the present value of all accumulated benefit obligations of all
underfunded Plans (based on the assumptions used for purposes of Statement of
Financial Account Standards No. 87) did not, as of the date of the most recent
Financial Statements reflecting such amounts, exceed the fair market value of
the assets of such underfunded Plans by more than $50,000. Neither Strategic
nor any ERISA Affiliate has incurred or reasonably expects to incur any
Withdrawal Liability in excess of $50,000.

 

j.                            Examinations;
Appraisals. Strategic shall, with respect to each owned or leased property,
during normal business hours and upon reasonable advance notice (unless a

be required and Access shall have access at any and all times): (i) provide
access to such property to Access and any of its officers, employees and
agents, as frequently as Access determines to be appropriate; (ii) permit
Access and any of its officers, employees and agents to inspect, audit and make
extracts and copies (or take originals if reasonably necessary but only if a
Default shall have occurred and be continuing) from all of Strategic’s books
and records; and (iii) permit Access to inspect, review, evaluate and make
physical verifications and appraisals of the Collateral in any manner and
through any medium that Access reasonably considers advisable, and Strategic
agrees to render to Access, at Strategic’s cost and expense, such clerical and
other assistance as may be reasonably requested with regard thereto.

in Schedule 8.k., as of the
effective date of this Agreement Strategic has no subsidiaries, is not engaged
in any joint venture or partnership with any other Person, and is not an
affiliate of any other Person. Schedule 8.k.
contains a materially complete list of all of the holders of issued and
outstanding Capital Stock of Strategic and of rights to purchase, options,
warrants or similar rights or agreements pursuant to which Strategic may be
required to issue, sell, repurchase or redeem any of its Capital Stock, along

Person.

 

l.                             Meetings;
Representation. Strategic will hold, at its principal place of business,
regular meetings of its board of directors at least every calendar quarter
(unless the holding of any such meeting is waived by Access at the request of
Strategic) and of its shareholders at least once a year, and minutes of such
meetings shall be prepared and maintained as a part of the permanent records of
Strategic. Strategic will provide Access with a copy of any and all proposed
agendas prepared by Strategic for all meetings of the shareholders and board of
directors at least 1 week in advance (except in the case of special meetings of
the board of directors, in which case such notice shall be as prompt as
practicable) and copies of all minutes of such meetings within 30 days
following the date of such meetings. Access shall be entitled to have 1
representative present, either telephonically or in person, at each meeting of
the shareholders of Strategic and at each regular and special meeting of the
board of directors of Strategic, in each case, in a non-voting observer
capacity. If Access determines to have its representative physically present at
such meetings, all travel and other out-of-pocket expenses incurred by Access’s
representatives in attending such meetings shall be incurred at Access’s own
expense.

 

m.                     Covenants
Concerning Cary Real Property.

 

(i)                         By no
later than June 30, 2005, Strategic will cause (x) an appraisal of its real
property located at 301 Gregson Street, Cary, North Carolina to be conducted
for Access at Strategic’s cost by an appraiser selected by Strategic and
acceptable to Access and (y) the full report of such appraisal to be delivered
to Access.

equal to the fair market value of such property (with fair market value to be
determined in accordance with the appraisal referenced in clause (i) of this
Section 8.m.), Strategic will consider such offers subject to its reasonable
business discretion and considering other reasonable business considerations
arising as a consequence of the sale of such real property.

 

n.                         Further
Assurances. At any time and from time to time, upon the written request of
Access and at the sole expense of Strategic, Strategic shall promptly and duly
execute and deliver any and all such further instruments and documents and take
such further action as Access may reasonably deem desirable (a) to obtain the
full benefits of this Agreement and the other Loan Papers, (b) to protect,
preserve and maintain Access’s rights in any Collateral, or (c) to enable
Access to exercise all or any of the rights and powers herein granted.

13.                  Defaults.
The term “Default” as used herein, means the occurrence of any one or
more of the following events (including the passage of time, if any, specified
therefore) provided that if any such event occurs and Access subsequently agrees
in writing that it will not exercise any remedies hereunder as a result
thereof, the occurrence of such event shall no longer be deemed a “Default”
hereunder insofar as the state of facts giving rise to such event is concerned,
but the same shall not operate as or be deemed to be a waiver with respect to
any identical or similar state of facts which occurs thereafter:

 

a.                         Payment
of Indebtedness (Other than Trade Debt). If default is made in the payment
of any Indebtedness other than Trade Debt, in any case, when the same shall be
due and payable, or

this Agreement, or if any representation or warranty in this Agreement or any

any report, financial statement or certificate made or delivered to Access by
Strategic or any guarantor of the Indebtedness shall be untrue or incorrect as
of the date when made or deemed made, or

 

c.                          Default
on Covenants in Other Agreements. If there is any default by reason of the
failure of Strategic to perform any of the covenants contained in any other

not cured within the cure periods stated therein, if any, or

 

d.                         Default

which is not cured within the cure periods stated therein, if any, or

 

f.                           Voluntary
Debtor Relief. Strategic shall (a) execute an assignment for the benefit of
creditors, or (b) admit in writing its inability to pay its debts generally as
they become due, or (c) voluntarily seek the benefit or benefits of any Debtor
Relief Law or become a party to any proceeding provided for by any Debtor
Relief Law that could suspend or otherwise affect any of the rights of Access
granted in this Agreement or any other Loan Paper. As used herein “Debtor

moratorium, rearrangement, insolvency,

 

20

 

reorganization, or
similar Debtor Relief Laws affecting the rights of creditors generally from
time to time in effect.

territorial, or other court or governmental department, commission, board,
bureau, agency or instrumentality pursuant to any Debtor Relief Law that could
suspend or otherwise affect any of the rights granted to Access in this
Agreement or any other Loan Paper, and such order, judgment, or decree is not permanently
stayed or reversed within 60 days after the entry thereof, or (b) have a
petition filed against it seeking the benefit or benefits provided for by any
Debtor Relief Law that would suspend or otherwise affect any of the rights
granted to Access in this Agreement or any other Loan Paper, and such petition
is not discharged within 60 days after the filing thereof.

 

h.                         Acceleration

$50,000 or more of any other debt owed by Strategic.

 

i.                             Undischarged
Final Judgments. Except for the judgments listed on Schedule 13.i., the entry of a final
judgment or final judgments against Strategic or any subsidiary for the payment
of money in an amount which, in the aggregate, could have a Material Adverse
Effect, and the same shall remain undischarged for a period of 60 days during
which execution shall not be effectively stayed.

 

j.                            Attachment.
The failure to have discharged within a period of 60 days after the
commencement thereof any attachment, sequestration, or similar proceeding
against any of Strategic’s assets.

 

k.                         Other
Agreements. The occurrence of a default by Strategic under any other
material financial or loan agreement to which Strategic is a party or by which
it or any of its assets is bound but only to the extent such default is
reasonably expected to have a Material Adverse Effect.

 

14.                  Remedies Upon
Default.

 

a.                         Remedies
Upon Default. Should a Default occur and be continuing, Access may, at its
election, do any one or more of the following:

 

i.                              Acceleration.
Declare the entire unpaid balance of the Indebtedness, or any part thereof,
immediately due and payable, whereupon it shall be due and payable.

 

ii.                           Termination.
Terminate any agreement or commitment by Access to lend any funds hereunder or
sell or finance any goods or services.

 

iii.                        Judgment.
Reduce any claim to judgment.

 

iv.                       Foreclosure.
Take such steps as Access may deem appropriate to foreclose or otherwise
enforce the security interests in the Collateral and all liens granted to
Access to secure payment and performance of the Indebtedness.

 

v.                          Rights.
Exercise any and all rights afforded by applicable law, including, but not
limited to, the Uniform Commercial Code, or by any of the agreements with
Strategic, or by law or equity, or otherwise.

 

21

 

b.                         Cumulative
Rights. All rights available to Access under this Agreement or any other
Loan Paper shall be cumulative of and in addition to all other rights granted
to Access at law or in equity, whether or not the Indebtedness is due and
payable and whether or not Access shall have instituted any suit for
collection, foreclosure, or other action in connection with this or any other
agreement.

 

c.                          Expenses.
Any expenses incurred by Access pursuant to the exercise of any right provided
herein shall become part of the Indebtedness and shall bear interest at a fixed
rate of 12% per annum from the date spent until the date repaid by Strategic.

 

d.                         Waivers.
The acceptance by Access at any time and from time to time of part payment on
the Indebtedness shall not be deemed to be a waiver of any Default then
existing. No waiver by Access of any Default shall be deemed to be a waiver of
any other then existing or subsequent Default. No delay or omission by Access
in exercising any right under this Agreement or any other Loan Paper shall
impair such right or be construed as a waiver thereof or any acquiescence
therein, nor shall any single or partial exercise of any such right preclude
other or further exercise thereof, or the exercise of any other right under
such agreements or otherwise.

 

15.                  Term.
This Agreement shall continue in full force and effect until the repayment in
full of (a) the accrued interest on and outstanding principal balance of the
Indebtedness evidenced by the Notes and (b) the Indebtedness consisting of Past
Due Trade Debt.

 

16.                  Indemnity.
Strategic agrees to indemnify and hold Access and its affiliates, and their
respective employees, attorneys and agents (each, an “Indemnified Person”),
harmless from and against any and all suits, actions, proceedings, claims,
damages, losses, liabilities and expenses of any kind or nature whatsoever
(including reasonable attorneys’ fees and disbursements and other costs of
investigation or defense, including those incurred upon any appeal) that may be
instituted or asserted against or incurred by any such Indemnified Person as
the result of credit having been extended, suspended or terminated under this
Agreement and the other Loan Papers or with respect to the execution, delivery,
enforcement, performance and administration of, or in any other way arising out
of or relating to, this Agreement and the other Loan Papers or any other
documents or transactions contemplated by or referred to herein or therein and
any actions or failures to act with respect to any of the foregoing, including
any and all product liabilities, environmental liabilities, taxes and legal
costs and expenses arising out of or incurred in connection with disputes between
or among any parties to any of the Loan Papers (collectively, “Indemnified
Liabilities”), except to the extent that any such Indemnified Liability is
finally determined by a court of competent jurisdiction to have resulted solely
from such Indemnified Person’s gross negligence or willful misconduct.
Notwithstanding Section 15 of this Agreement to the contrary, the
indemnification obligations described in this Section 16 shall survive the
termination of this Agreement. NO INDEMNIFIED PERSON SHALL BE RESPONSIBLE OR
LIABLE TO STRATEGIC, ANY SUCCESSOR, ASSIGNEE OR THIRD PARTY BENEFICIARY OR ANY
OTHER PERSON ASSERTING CLAIMS DERIVATIVELY THROUGH SUCH PARTY, FOR ANY ACT OR
FAILURE TO ACT UNDER ANY POWER OF ATTORNEY OR FOR INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY
OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES THAT MAY BE ALLEGED AS A RESULT OF CREDIT HAVING BEEN
EXTENDED, SUSPENDED OR TERMINATED UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR ANY OTHER LOAN PAPER
OR AS A RESULT OF ANY OTHER TRANSACTION CONTEMPLATED HEREUNDER OR THEREUNDER.

b.                         Governing
Law; Jurisdiction; Venue; Waiver of Jury Trial. This Agreement is being
executed and delivered, and is intended to be performed, in the State of North
Carolina, and the substantive laws of such state shall govern the validity,
construction, enforcement, and interpretation of the Loan Papers, unless
otherwise specified therein, without regard to its conflict of law provisions.

 

23

 

Each party consents to
the personal jurisdiction of the state and federal courts located in the State
of North Carolina in connection with any controversy related to this Agreement,
waives any argument that venue in any such forum is not convenient and agrees
that any litigation initiated by any of them in connection with this Agreement
shall be venued in either the Superior Court of Wake County, North Carolina or
the United States District Court for the Eastern District of North Carolina,
Raleigh Division. EACH OF STRATEGIC AND ACCESS HEREBY IRREVOCABLY WAIVES ANY
AND ALL RIGHT TO TRIAL BY JURY IN ANY LEGAL PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR
RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

 

c.                          Maximum
Interest Rate. Regardless of any provision contained in this Agreement or
any other Loan Paper, Access shall never be entitled to receive, collect, or
apply, as interest on the Indebtedness, any amount in excess of the maximum
amount of interest permitted to be charged by applicable law, and, in the event
Access ever receives, collects, or applies as interest, any such excess, such
amount which would be excessive interest shall be deemed a partial prepayment
of principal and treated hereunder as such; and, if the Indebtedness is paid in
full, any remaining excess shall forthwith be paid to Strategic. In determining
whether or not the interest paid or payable, under any specific contingency,
exceeds the Highest Lawful Rate, Strategic and Access shall, to the maximum
extent permitted under applicable law, (a) characterize any nonprincipal
payment as an expense, fee, or premium rather than as interest, (b) exclude
voluntary prepayments and the effects thereof, and (c) amortize, prorate,
allocate, and spread, in equal parts, the total amount of interest throughout
the entire contemplated term of the Indebtedness so that the interest is
uniform throughout the entire term of the Indebtedness.

 

d.                         Severability.
If any provision of this Agreement or any other Loan Paper is held to be
illegal, invalid, or unenforceable under present or future laws effective
during the term thereof, such provision shall be fully severable; the
appropriate agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal,
invalid, or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part thereof; and the
remaining provisions thereof shall remain in full force and effect and shall
not be affected by the illegal, invalid, or unenforceable provision or by its
severance therefrom. Furthermore, in lieu of such illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable provision there shall be added automatically as a part of such
agreement a provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid, or
unenforceable provision as may be possible and be legal, valid, and
enforceable.

 

e.                          Survival.
Except as specifically provided herein, all representations, warranties,
covenants and agreements of Strategic contained herein shall continue in full
force and effect so long as any part of the Indebtedness remains unpaid and,
except as otherwise indicated, shall not be affected by any investigation made
by any party.

 

f.                           Further
Assurances. Strategic agrees that at any time and from time to time, upon
the written request by Access, it will execute and deliver such further
documents and do such further acts and things Access may reasonably request in
order to fully effect the purpose of this Agreement and any other Loan Paper
and to provide for the payment of the principal and interest on the
Indebtedness in accordance with the terms and provisions of such agreements.

 

g.                          Costs
and Expenses. Strategic agrees to pay or reimburse Access for all costs and
expenses (including the reasonable fees and expenses of all counsel, advisors,
consultants (including environmental and management consultants) and auditors
retained in connection therewith), incurred in connection with: (a) the
preparation, negotiation, execution, delivery, performance and enforcement of
the Loan Papers and the preservation of any rights thereunder; (b) collection,
including deficiency collections; (c) the forwarding to Strategic or any other
Person on behalf of Strategic by Access of the

 

24

 

proceeds of any cash
advance (including a wire transfer fee of $20 per wire transfer); (d) any
amendment, waiver or other modification with respect to any of the Loan Papers;
(e) any litigation, dispute, suit, proceeding or action (whether instituted by
or between any combination of Access, Strategic or any other Person), and an
appeal or review thereof, in any way relating to the Collateral, any of the
Loan Papers, or any action taken or any other agreements to be executed or
delivered in connection therewith, whether as a party, witness or otherwise;
and (f) any effort (i) to monitor the Indebtedness, (ii) to evaluate, observe
or assess Strategic or its affairs, and (iii) to verify, protect, evaluate,
assess, appraise, collect, sell, liquidate or otherwise dispose of the
Collateral.

 

h.                         Entire
Agreement. This instrument embodies the entire agreement between the
parties and supersedes all prior agreements and understandings, if any,
relating to the subject matter hereof (except documents, agreements and
instruments delivered or to be delivered in accordance with the express terms
hereof, and except for the CIT Financing Agreement, to the extent of the
collateral description and remedies set forth therein).

 

i.                             Successors
and Assigns. The provisions of this Agreement shall be binding upon and
inure to the benefit of the parties hereto and their respective successors and
assigns, except that Strategic may not assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights under this Agreement without the prior written consent of Access.

 

j.                            Parties
Bound. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of
Access and Strategic and their respective successors and assigns; provided that
Strategic may not, without the prior written consent of Access, assign any
rights, powers, duties, or obligations hereunder.

 

k.                         Amendments
and Waivers. This Agreement may be modified or amended only in writing by
an agreement or agreements entered into by Access and Strategic, and Access may
waive compliance by Strategic with any provision of this Agreement; provided,
however, that no such consent, waiver, modification, or amendment shall extend
to or affect any obligation not expressly consented to, waived, modified, or
amended, or impair any right consequent on such obligation.

 

l.                             Counterparts.
This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, each of which
shall be an original, but all of which together shall constitute one
instrument. Facsimiles or other photocopies of executed signature pages to this
Agreement shall be considered originals.

 

m.                     Amendment

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

	
  $10,387,648.54

  	
   

  	
  May 20, 2005

  

 

For value received,
Strategic Technologies, Inc. (“Maker”) promises to pay to the order of MRA
Systems, Inc. dba Access Distribution (“Holder”) via wire transfer to AT
Bankers Trust, ABA #021001033, Acct. #50261567, or at such other place or
account as designated by Holder in writing to Maker, the principal sum of Ten
Million Three Hundred Eighty-Seven Thousand Six Hundred Forty-Eight and 54/100
Dollars ($10,387,648.54), from the date hereof. Interest on unpaid balances of
principal from the date hereof shall accrue at the floating rate of LIBOR, as
that term is defined in the Agreement, plus four and one half percent (4.5%)
per annum.

 

Payments of principal and
interest under this Note shall be made in accordance with the Amended and
Restated Refinancing Agreement, dated the date hereof, between Maker and Holder
(as from time to time amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Agreement”),
the terms of which are incorporated herein for all purposes. All outstanding
principal, and accrued and unpaid interest, which is not paid earlier as set
forth herein, shall be due and payable on May 1, 2010.

 

This Note is secured by a
blanket lien on all assets of Maker pursuant to that certain Amended and
Restated Security Agreement between Maker and Holder dated as of July 31, 2002,
as amended, Financing Agreement dated as of October 17, 2001 between The CIT
Group/Business Credit, Inc. (“CIT”) and Strategic, which interest of CIT was
assigned to Holder on April 12, 2002 and North Carolina Deed of Trust executed
by Maker for the benefit of Holder dated June 3, 2003, as amended.

 

This
Note is a modification, restatement and consolidation of that certain (a)
Amended and Restated Promissory Note executed by Maker to Holder dated July 31,
2002 in the original principal amount of $15,164,283.88 and (b) Amended and
Restated Promissory Note executed by Maker to Holder dated July 31, 2002 in the
original principal amount of $7,278,603.31.

 

Upon a Default, as that
term is defined in the Agreement, then the holder of this Note shall have the
right and option, without notice or demand, to declare the unpaid balance of
principal and accrued interest on this Note at once due and payable.

 

Prepayment.
This Note, at the option of Maker, may be prepaid in whole or
in part at any time without additional interest or penalty, with any such
prepayment being applied first to principal in the inverse order of maturity,
and then applied to outstanding and unpaid interest.

 

Miscellaneous.

 

At any time, any deposit
or other indebtedness credited by or due from the Holder to Maker may be set
off against and applied in payment of any amounts due hereunder (the “Obligations”),
whether due or not, and such deposits or other indebtedness may at all times be
held and treated as collateral security for the payment of the Obligations.

non-payment. If this note is not paid when due, and is given to an attorney or
collection agency for collection, or suit filed thereon, Maker agrees to pay
all collection fees and expenses including but not limited to attorneys fees
based upon customary hourly rates and not a statutorily prescribed percentage
of the debt collected.

 

This promissory note
shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of
North Carolina, without regard to its choice of law rules.

Form of Amended and Restated November 2003 Note

 

AMENDED AND RESTATED

PROMISSORY NOTE

 

	
  $5,598,500

  	
   

  	
  June [22],  2006

  

 

For value received,
Strategic Technologies, Inc. (“Maker”) promises to pay to the order of MRA
Systems, Inc. dba Access Distribution (“Holder”) via wire transfer to AT
Bankers Trust, ABA #021001033, Acct. #50261567, or at such other place or account
as designated by Holder in writing to Maker, the principal sum of Five Million
Five Hundred Ninety-Eight Thousand Five Hundred and No/100 Dollars
($5,598,500), from the date hereof. Interest on unpaid balances of principal
from the date hereof shall accrue at a fixed rate of twelve percent (12%) per
annum.

 

Payments of principal and
interest under this Note shall be made in accordance with the Amended and
Restated Refinancing Agreement, dated the date hereof, between Maker and Holder
(as from time to time amended, modified, supplemented or restated, the “Agreement”),
the terms of which are incorporated herein for all purposes. All outstanding
principal, and accrued and unpaid interest, which is not paid earlier as set
forth herein, shall be due and payable on May 1, 2010.

 

This Note is secured by a
blanket lien on all assets of Maker pursuant to that certain Amended and
Restated Security Agreement between Maker and Holder dated as of July 31, 2002,
as amended, Financing Agreement dated as of October 17, 2001 between The CIT
Group/Business Credit Inc. (“CIT”) and Strategic, which interest of CIT was
assigned to Holder on April 12, 2002 and North Carolina Deed of Trust executed
by Maker for the benefit of Holder dated June 3, 2003, as amended.

 

This
Note is a modification, restatement and consolidation of that certain amended
and restated promissory note executed by Maker to Holder dated May 20, 2005 in
the original principal amount of $5,561,000.

 

Upon a Default, as that
term is defined in the Agreement, then the holder of this Note shall have the
right and option, without notice or demand, to declare the unpaid balance of
principal and accrued interest on this Note at once due and payable.

 

Prepayment.
This Note, at the option of Maker, may be prepaid in whole or
in part at any time without additional interest or penalty, with any such
prepayment being applied first to principal in the inverse order of maturity,
and then applied to outstanding and unpaid interest.

 

Miscellaneous.

 

At any time, any deposit or
other indebtedness credited by or due from the Holder to Maker may be set off
against and applied in payment of any amounts due hereunder (the “Obligations”),
whether due or not, and such deposits or other indebtedness may at all times be
held and treated as collateral security for the payment of the Obligations.

 

The Maker of this Note
waives demand, presentment for payment, protest and notice of protest, and
non-payment. If this note is not paid when due, and is given to an attorney or
collection agency for collection, or suit filed thereon, Maker agrees to pay
all collection fees and expenses including but not

 

1

 

limited
to attorneys fees based upon customary hourly rates and not a statutorily
prescribed percentage of the debt collected.

 

This
promissory note shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws
of the State of North Carolina, without regard to its choice of law rules.

Agreement Number 33793

 

SUN SERVICEMANAGERSM AGREEMENT

 

This Sun
ServiceManagerSM Agreement (“Agreement”) is entered into between Sun
Microsystems, Inc., with its principal place of business at 901 San Antonio
Road, Palo Alto, California 94303 (“Sun”) and Strategic Technologies, Inc.,
with its principal place of business at 301 Gregson Drive Cary, North Carolina
27511 (“Reseller”). Reseller is an authorized Sun Direct Value Added Reseller
(“DVAR”) or Indirect Value Added Reseller (“IVAR”) (Reseller Agreement No
CS-US-004107-R) in the United States.

 

1.
SCOPE. This Agreement establishes the terms and conditions
under which Reseller will market and sell, or incorporate for resale, Sun
hardware maintenance, software support and other services (“Services”) in the
United States to end-user support customers other than the Federal Government
(“Support Customers”). Services include, but are not limited to, Sun’s service
support programs (“Support Programs”), educational services and consulting services.

 

2.                         APPOINTMENT.

 

2.1                 Appointment. This
Agreement designates Reseller as an authorized, non-exclusive “Sun
ServiceManager”. As such, Reseller is authorized to:

 

2.1.1  offer,
promote and market to Support Customers Sun’s standard Services set forth in
Exhibit A, with Sun providing Services directly to Support Customer, subject to
ensuring Support Customer’s execution of the appropriate Sun end-user contract
(Sun ServiceManager acting as a Sun ServiceRepresentativeSM);

 

2.1.2  purchase
Services set forth in Exhibit A and resell such Services to Support Customers,
subject to ensuring Support Customer’s execution of Reseller’s end-user
contract (Sun ServiceManager acting as a Sun ServiceManager);

 

2.1.3  subcontract
Support Customer obligations to Sun, under one or more of Sun’s Support
Programs or other Service offerings; and

 

2.1.4  purchase
Sun educational courses for Reseller’s personnel and Support Programs for
Reseller’s internal systems.

 

Services must be: (i)
sold directly to Support Customers on a face-to-face basis; and (ii) sold to
Support Customers located in the United States.

 

2.2                 Modifications. Sun
reserves the right, at its sole discretion, to change, discontinue, add, or
make substitutions for any Services at any time and from time to time. Sun
reserves the right to periodically establish and amend discounts and prices set
forth on the Enterprise Services U.S. Reseller Price List or the Enterprise
Services U.S. End User Price List (collectively known as “Price List”).

 

3.                         RESELLER
OBLIGATIONS.

 

3.1                 Sale and Support. Reseller will use its
best efforts to offer, promote, market and sell Services. The sale and support
of Services must be performed at all times by Reseller’s full-time personnel
who are trained and certified as specified by Sun. Reseller will contract with
its Support Customers to provide Services which it resells to its Support
Customer on terms substantially similar in all material respects to those
contained in Sun’s end-user contracts. Notwithstanding the foregoing, Reseller has
the right to establish the prices, and all other commercial terms, at which it
resells Services to its Support Customers.

 

3.2                 Support Customers. Reseller will
only resell services to end-user Support Customers. Reseller will concentrate
on those customers to which it has actually sold Sun products. Reseller will
not sell Services to other resellers or other third party maintenance
providers.

 

3.3                 Prerequisites for
Certification. Reseller will complete and maintain the Sun ServiceManager
prerequisites set forth in Exhibit B to comply with the level or Sun
certification it desires. Sun reserves the right to amend the prerequisites
from time to time and Reseller is required to fulfill any new or amended
prerequisites within ninety (90) days of notice of such amendments. Training
and certification may be secured directly from Sun or from any Sun authorized
training provider. All expenses associated with such prerequisites are such
Reseller’s sole responsibility and are incurred at Reseller’s expense. Reseller
must at all times employ certified employees. Replacement or substitute
certified employees must establish the requisite expertise within ninety (90)
days after designation.

 

3.4                 Fair
Representation. Reseller will represent Sun fairly and will make no representations
or guarantees concerning Sun or its Services which are false, misleading, or
inconsistent with those representations set

 

1

 

forth in promotional materials,
literature, manuals and Price Lists published and supplied by Sun from time to
time. Reseller will comply with all applicable laws and regulations in
performing under this Agreement.

 

3.5                 Purchase of
Support Program(s) for Internal Systems. Reseller will purchase either a
Software Only Support Program or SunSpectrumSM Support Program for
each of Reseller’s internal demonstration systems and/or any Sun system
utilized in supporting Reseller’s HelpDesk activities as set forth below in
Section 3.7. All support required by Reseller under this Agreement is provided
in accordance with the Master Terms of Service and the SunSpectrum Support
Program Module attached hereto as Exhibit C (“Support Program Agreement”).
Reseller expressly agrees to be bound by the Support Program Agreement.
Reseller understands that it will receive the level of support according to the
then current program description for the Support Program purchased.

 

3.6                 Designated
Reseller Contacts. Reseller will designate full time employees (“Contacts”)
who will function as the sole point of contact between Sun and Reseller. The
Contacts will also be the central point of contact between Support Customers
and Reseller. Reseller may designate up to three (3) authorized Contacts per
eight (8) hour shift (“Shift”) during the period in which Reseller’s HelpDesk
is provided to Reseller’s Support Customers according to Reseller’s maintenance
agreement with its Support Customers. All Contacts must possess the necessary
expertise and training to interact with Sun in the diagnosis of system hardware
and software malfunctions prior to the commencement of this Agreement, in
accordance with the Prerequisites for Certification (set forth above in Section
3.3) and as otherwise from time to time defined by Sun. Replacement or
substitute Contacts must establish the requisite expertise within thirty (30)
days after designation, provided that at no time may Reseller be without at
least one (1) fully qualified Contact per Shift.

 

3.7                 Support Desk
(“HelpDesk”). Prior to Reseller signing end-user contracts for Services
with Support Customer, Reseller must have a fully operational support desk
(“HelpDesk”). The HelpDesk will be staffed with Contacts (as set forth above in
Section 3.6). Reseller will screen all Support Customer’s service requests and
respond appropriately. Reseller will ensure that its Support Customers do not
contact Sun directly. If it is determined that remedial support by Sun is
required on hardware or software covered by Support Customer’s contract for
Services, Contact will telephone the designated Sun Solution Center to initiate
a service request. Reseller will maintain a record of all Support Customers
service requests and will track the progress of such requests. Sun reserves the
right to carry out, at any time, an audit of Reseller’s HelpDesk to ensure that
the standard of support available to Support Customers is consistent with Sun’s
then prevailing quality standards and procedures. Reseller will provide all
necessary assistance to Sun to conduct the audit. If Reseller’s HelpDesk fails
to pass such audit, Sun reserves the right to: (i) deny Reseller the right to
participate as a Sun ServiceManager; (ii) immediately terminate an existing Sun
ServiceManager Agreement; or (iii) place Reseller on probation.

 

3.8                 Performance.
Reseller understands that levels of service, quality and Support Customer
satisfaction will be measured by Sun with the use of surveys and/or audits
performed either by Sun personnel or an independent company engaged by Sun for
such purpose. Sun reserves the right to contact Support Customers for the
purpose of performing such surveys and/or audits. Notification will be provided
to Reseller prior to audits and Reseller will receive summaries of the results
of such audits.

 

3.9                 Quality
Assurance. Reseller is required to provide high quality service to each of
its Support Customers. In the event that Sun becomes aware of a Support
Customer’s dissatisfaction with the quality of service provided by Reseller,
Sun reserves the right to give Reseller notice requiring Reseller to resolve
the Customer’s concerns promptly. Failure to resolve Customer’s
dissatisfaction, as determined by Sun, within thirty (30) days will be grounds
for immediate termination of this Agreement. If Sun becomes aware of subsequent
cases of Support Customer’s dissatisfaction, or if more than two (2) Support
Customers are dissatisfied with the quality of service provided by Reseller,
Sun reserves the right to terminate Services provided to Reseller and/or
terminate this Agreement.

 

3.10          Support Guide. Sun
Resellers’ policies are detailed in the Enterprise Services Reseller Support
Reference Guide (“Support Guide”). Reseller represents that it has read the
Support Guide and will comply with all applicable rules and procedures. Sun may
modify the Support Guide at any time and from time to time, and Reseller will
comply with any new or modified rules and procedures within a reasonable amount
of time as defined by Sun.

 

3.11          Software Licenses.
Software will be provided to Reseller according to the terms set forth in Section
6.1, Software. Sun or its independent audit firm may, upon reasonable notice,
examine and audit the records and systems of Resellers and Support Customers to
ensure compliance with the license provision. Any audit will be performed
during Resellers or Support Customers normal business hours and in a manner
which avoids unreasonable interference with Resellers or Support Customers
business operations.

 

3.12          Access to Resource Tools
and Information. Reseller understands that Sun may provide Reseller with
resource tools and information (collectively referred to as “Tools”) for the
sole purpose of selling, and providing, Services to Support Customers under
this Agreement. Reseller will not use the Tools provided for any other purpose.
Reseller understands that all Tools are supplied “AS IS” and Sun disclaims all
warranties (except as set forth below in Section 14). Reseller understands that
the Tools are proprietary and Sun owns all right, title and interest, including
copyrights or other intellectual property rights, in and to any

and all ideas, concepts,
expertise, programs, systems, methodologies, data or other materials embodied
in, underlying or reduced to practice in said Tools.

 

3.13          Indirect Reseller.
In the event that Reseller markets and sells Services through an authorized Sun
Master Reseller, Reseller will be required to execute an Indirect Sun
ServiceManager Addendum to this Agreement or, in the alternative, execute an
Indirect Sun ServiceManager Agreement. Reseller understands that it will be
deemed an “Indirect Reseller” and it will not interact directly with Sun for
the provision of Services. Master Reseller will be responsible for setting the
commercial terms of any resale to Indirect Reseller. Indirect Reseller is
required to interface with Master Reseller at all times unless otherwise
specified by Sun (e.g. Section 3.6, Indirect Reseller’s Contacts will
interact with Master Reseller’s Contacts; Section 3.7, Indirect Reseller’s
Contact will telephone Master Reseller’s HelpDesk to initiate a service
request).

 

4.                         SUN DIRECT
END USER CUSTOMER CONTRACT. 

 

            (Sun
ServiceManager acting as a Sun ServiceRepresentative)

 

4.1                 Referral of
Support Customers. Reseller may submit referrals or leads (“Leads”) to Sun
of potential Support Customers according to the guidelines provided by Sun.
Reseller may provide Sun an individual Lead or multiple Leads. Reseller may
only submit Leads for potential Support Customers to which it has sold Sun
product and/or equipment as an authorized Sun Product Reseller unless otherwise
agreed to in writing by Sun. The list of Leads will include at least the
following information: (i) potential customer name; (ii) contact name and phone
number of potential customer; (iii) type, serial number and quantity of
equipment or Sun product sold to potential customer including the date shipped;
and (iv) Reseller’s Sun DVAR or IVAR number. Reseller must supply such Leads in
a timely manner as defined by Sun.

 

4.2                 Terms of Sale of
Customer  Contract. For all
sales of Services solicited by Reseller whereby Sun will provide Services
directly to Support Customer, all sales must be at prices and upon terms
established by Sun as set forth in the then current Enterprise Services U.S.
End User Price List and the current version of the Sun Support Customer
contract (“Customer Contract”). Sun reserves the right to establish and amend
prices and other terms and conditions of its Customer Contract. Reseller will
not accept orders in Sun’s name nor make price quotations or promises
concerning Services different from those set out in the Enterprise Services
U.S. End User Price List or the Customer Contract without Sun’s prior written
consent. Reseller will have Support Customer execute the then current version
of the appropriate Customer Contract with the agreed terms of sale. All
Customer Contracts will be subject to acceptance or rejection by Sun. Support
Customers orders will not be binding until acceptance by Sun.

 

4.3                 Compensation,
Taxes and Deductions. In the event that any of Reseller’s Leads result in
the execution of a Customer Contract within one (1) year of the product ship
date or if Sun receives an acceptable, executed Customer Contract from
Reseller, Sun will compensate Reseller according to the terms set forth in
Exhibit D. Reseller must report all compensation received pursuant to this
Agreement as income and is responsible for all applicable taxes. Compensation
will not be paid if Reseller is not in compliance with the terms of this
Agreement. Sun may deduct from any sums due to Reseller an amount equal to
compensation previously paid or credited on the sale of Services which are: (i)
cancelled for any reason during the support period; or (ii) for which the
Customer Contract price has, in Sun’s judgment, been rendered uncollectible.

 

4.4                 Support
Customer’s Payment. Reseller will not accept payment on Sun’s behalf from
Support Customer for any Customer Contract, unless otherwise agreed to by Sun.
In the event that Reseller accepts payment from Support Customer, Reseller
understands that Sun will issue Reseller an invoice, including applicable sales
tax, for such Customer Contract and payment terms are net thirty (30) days from
the date of each invoice received by Reseller or thirty (30) days from Reseller’s
receipt of payment from Support Customer, whichever is shorter.

 

4.5                 Renewal of
Customer Contract. Reseller will notify Sun of its intent to pursue renewal
Customer Contracts in subsequent years at the time Reseller submits the initial
Customer Contract to Sun. During the initial effective term of Customer
Contract, Reseller will be responsible for collection of payment from Support
Customer for Services. Reseller will be invoiced and will pay according to
Section 4.4 above. Reseller will facilitate Support Customer’s renewal of
Customer Contract at least ninety (90) days prior to the expiration of Customer
Contract. In the event that Reseller does not secure a renewal Customer
Contract within thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of Customer Contract,
Sun may contact Support Customer directly to facilitate a renewal of Customer
Contract and Reseller will not be entitled to compensation for any renewals
which result from Sun’s contact.

            (Sun
ServiceManager acting as a Sun ServiceManager)

 

5.1                 Prices, Discounts
and Taxes. Reseller may purchase Services for resale to end-user Support
Customers. Reseller’s net price for Services will be Sun’s then current “List
Price” (the amount set forth on the Price List for support of the hardware
and/or software, educational services or other support services) at the time
Sun accepts Reseller’s order, less the applicable Sun ServiceManager discount
rate set forth in Exhibit D, subject to any uplifts and/or discounts set forth
in the Price List. These discounts and/or uplifts may be changed by Sun upon
thirty (30) days’ notice. Sun reserves the right to change the List Price of
any Service

 

3

 

at any time. Prices and
license fees are exclusive of all sales and other taxes based upon the value of
the Services, products or software, and Reseller and/or its Support Customers
will pay all taxes as required. Reseller agrees to pay Sun for discounts
extended to Reseller which are based on volume or term of Service and which are
not earned by Reseller. Reseller has the right to set its own resale prices.

 

5.2                 Service Orders
and Delivery. Reseller will submit purchase orders in writing; orders will
not be binding until acceptance by Sun. Sun will use reasonable efforts to meet
the target commencement or delivery dates identified by Reseller. Sun’s Service
offerings are continually evolving. Accordingly, Sun reserves the right to make
modifications to Service offerings, as set forth in Section 2.2 above, from
time to time, and at any time.

 

5.3                 Payment.
Provided that Reseller satisfies Sun’s credit requirements, payment terms are
net thirty (30) days from the date of the invoice unless otherwise modified by
Sun. Sun reserves the right in its reasonable commercial judgment to place
Reseller on credit hold, in which event Sun will promptly inform Reseller and
may delay or reschedule Reseller orders. Sun may discontinue the delivery of
Services upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Reseller if payment has not been
received. Interest will accrue from the date on which payment is due at the
lesser of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law.

 

6.                         SUN’S
OBLIGATIONS.

 

6.1                 Software. For
each Sun Support Program purchased by Reseller for resale to Support Customers,
Sun will provide Reseller software in accordance with the deliverables set out
in then current Support Program description (e.g. SunSpectrum Platinum,
Gold, Silver and Bronze). Resellers will deliver software to Support Customers
in a timely manner. Reseller understands, and will notify Support Customers,
that such software may only be used, or accessed by, systems covered by a
Support Program and that use of software is governed by the applicable software
license obtained with the original software product.

 

6.2                 Fault Reporting.
Sun will provide telephone support and on-site assistance in accordance with
the terms set out in the then current program description for the Support
Program purchased (e.g. SunSpectrum Platinum, Gold, Silver and Bronze),
subject to Reseller’s fulfillment of its obligations set forth above in Section
3. Prior to requesting support from Sun, Reseller must comply with all
published operating and troubleshooting procedures for the covered systems. In
the event that Sun determines, in its reasonable judgment, that Reseller’s use
of telephone support is not reasonable, Sun reserves the right to withdraw such
support and/or charge for it at Sun’s then current published time and materials
rates upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Reseller.

 

6.2.1        Software. Sun will
provide software support for systems covered in accordance with the terms set
out in the then current program description for the specific Support Program
purchased. All reported software faults relating to Sun supported software,
Reseller’s proprietary application and/or third party application will be
handled initially directly by Reseller. Reseller will only pass through to the
designated Sun Solution Center reported Sun supported software faults requiring
escalation. The availability of telephone support is contingent on the proper
use of software. Sun will be under no obligation to provide support should it
be required because of: (i) alterations or modifications of the code; (ii)
causes external to the systems, including but not limited to, failure to
maintain a proper operating environment; (iii) use of the software with
products or equipment not approved by Sun; or (iv) failure to maintain software
at Sun’s current release levels. Support provided as a result of such events or
occurrences will be charged and paid at Sun’s then current published time and
materials rates.

 

6.2.2        Hardware. Sun will
provide hardware support for systems covered in accordance with the terms set
out in the then current program description for the specific Support Program
purchased. Upon notification from Support Customer of a hardware problem which
Reseller can not resolve, Reseller’s Contact will place a hardware fault
service request with the designated Sun Solution Center. A hardware engineer
will respond to the call. Sun will use all reasonable efforts to ensure that
the service request is responded to in accordance with the response times
agreed to between Reseller and Sun for the applicable hardware product. Sun
will only report back to Reseller in circumstances in which a hardware service
request requires Sun internal escalation procedures to be used. Sun’s
obligation to provide hardware support is contingent upon proper use and care of
systems.

 

6.2.3        Exclusions. Sun’s
obligation to provide Services under this Agreement is contingent upon proper
use and care of covered systems. Sun has no obligation to provide support
should such support be required because of: (i) improper use, abuse, accident,
or neglect; (ii) alterations, modifications, or attempts to repair systems not
authorized by Sun; (iii) causes external to the system, such as failure to
maintain environmental conditions within the operating range specified by the
manufacturer of the systems; (iv) attachment of the system to equipment,
software, or other items which are not approved by Sun; (v) relocations or
attempts to relocate systems not supervised by Sun; or (vi) failure to maintain
systems at Sun specified minimum configuration or release level. Any support
delivered by Sun as a result of such events will be invoiced separately and
paid at Sun’s then current published time and materials rates.

personnel class attendance, including tuition, transportation and lodging.
Support Customer is responsible for all costs associated with its attendance,
including tuition, transportation and lodging.

 

6.4                 Service Obligations.
Sun’s obligations to provide Services are strictly limited to those
deliverables set forth in the then current program description or Price List
for each Service offering purchased (e.g. Support Programs, educational
services, consulting services) based on availability (due to technical or other
reasons, not all deliverables are available for pass-through delivery) and
subject to modifications set forth in Section 2.2.

 

7.        INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS.
Sun will defend or settle at its option and expense any legal proceeding
brought against Reseller, to the extent that it is based on a claim that the
use of the replacement parts, software updates, product releases, new releases,
maintenance releases, patches and/or SunSolve knowledge database (“Materials”)
provided to Reseller by Sun infringe a trade secret, trademark, copyright or a
U.S. patent. Sun will pay all damages and costs awarded by a court of final
appeal attributable to such claim, provided that Reseller: (i) gives written
notice of the claim promptly to Sun; (ii) gives Sun sole control of the defense
and settlement of the claim; (iii) provides to Sun all available information
and assistance; and (iv) has not compromised or settled such claim. If any
Materials are found to infringe, Sun will: (i) obtain for Reseller the right to
use such Materials; (ii) replace or modify such Materials so that they become
non-infringing; or if neither of these alternatives is reasonably available,
(iii) remove such Materials and refund Reseller’s net book value for these
Materials. Sun has no obligation under this Section 7 for any claim which
results from: (i) use of Materials in combination with any equipment, software
or data not provided by Sun; (ii) Sun’s compliance with designs or
specifications of Reseller; (iii) modification of Materials other than at Sun’s
directions; or (iv) use of an allegedly infringing version of any Materials, if
the alleged infringement could be avoided by the use of a different version
made available to Reseller. THIS SECTION 7 STATES
THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF SUN AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF RESELLER FOR CLAIMS
OF INFRINGEMENT.

 

8.        SUBCONTRACTING. Sun
reserves the right to subcontract its obligations under this Agreement. If Sun
elects to subcontract Services, Sun will remain primarily responsible for the
delivery of Services.

 

9.                         RELATIONSHIP.

 

9.1                 Reseller must

9.2                 This Agreement is
not intended to create a relationship such as a partnership, franchise, joint
venture, agency, master/servant or employment relationship. Neither party may

independent contractor, nor bind the other party. Reseller will not be entitled
to receive any employee benefits provided to Sun employees.

all names, marks, logos, designs, trade dress and other brand designations used
by Sun, and its related companies, in connection with products and services.
Reseller may refer to Services by the associated Sun Trademarks, provided that
such reference is not misleading and complies with the then current Sun Trademark and Logo Policies. Reseller
will not remove, alter, or add to any Sun Trademarks, nor will it co-logo
products and services. Reseller is granted no right, title or license to, or
interest in, any Sun Trademarks. Reseller acknowledges Sun’s rights in Sun
Trademarks and agrees that any use of Sun Trademarks by Reseller will inure to
the sole benefit of Sun. Reseller agrees not to: (i) challenge Sun’s ownership
or use of; (ii) register; or (iii) infringe any Sun Trademarks, nor will
Reseller incorporate any Sun Trademarks into Reseller’s trademarks, service
marks, company names, internet addresses, domain names, or any other similar

such rights to Sun along with any associated goodwill, applications, and/or
registrations.

(ii) in pre-sale marketing materials and advertising, but not on goods,
packaging, product labels, documentation or other materials distributed with
products or services; (iii) in a manner no more prominent than Reseller’s
corporate name and logo; and (iv) otherwise in accordance with the then current
Sun Trademark and Logo Policies.

 

11.      CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION.
If either party desires that information provided to the other party under this
Agreement be held in confidence, that party will, prior to or at the time of
disclosure, identify the information in writing as confidential or proprietary.
The recipient may not disclose such confidential or proprietary information,
may use it only for purposes specifically contemplated in this Agreement, and
must treat it with the same degree of care as it does its own similar
information, but with no less than reasonable care. These obligations do not
apply to information which: a) is or becomes known by recipient without an
obligation to maintain its confidentiality; b) is or becomes generally known to
the public through no act or omission of recipient, or c) is independently
developed by

recipient without use of
confidential  or proprietary

Information only for purposes specifically contemplated by this Agreement.

 

12.      AIRCRAFT SERVICE AND NUCLEAR APPLICATIONS.
Reseller acknowledges that products, Services and technical data delivered
under this Agreement are not designed or intended for use in on-line control of
aircraft, air traffic, aircraft navigation or aircraft communications; or in

PURPOSES. Reseller will use its best efforts to ensure that its
Support Customers of products, Services, and technical data are provided with a
copy of the foregoing notice.

 

13.      INDEMNITY AND INSURANCE.
Reseller agrees to indemnify and hold harmless Sun, its affiliates, employees
and agents from and against any and all third party claims, demands, judgments
and awards and expenses related thereto (including reasonable attorneys’ fees)
arising out of the Reseller’s failure to comply with this Agreement or the
conduct of Reseller’s agents or employees in relation thereto. Reseller will
carry liability insurance to protect Sun from any such claims, pay the premiums
therefor, and deliver to Sun, upon request, proof of such insurance (which will
require thirty [30] days’ written notice to Sun in the event of modification or
termination). Sun will have no authority to settle any claim without the prior
written consent of Reseller if Reseller will have any obligation thereunder.
The foregoing will not apply to the extent such claim or cause of action arises
out of an event or occurrence resulting directly and solely from the negligent
acts and omissions of Sun, its agents or employees.

14.1          Sun will perform the
services contracted for herein in a good and workman like manner.

 

14.2          Sun further warrants

change from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000. Date representation, including
leap years, will be accurate when Listed Products are used in accordance with
their accompanying documentation, provided that all hardware and software
products used in combination with Listed Products properly exchange date data
with them.

 

14.2.1     Versions of products
identified on Sun’s external Web site as not yet compliant, but which are
scheduled to be made compliant, will become Listed Products when remedial
replacement parts, patches, software updates or subsequent releases (“Y2K
Fixes”) are issued and properly installed. Y2K Fixes for such products will be
issued no later than June 30, 1999.

installs Y2K Fixes or performs other services under this Agreement for
Reseller, Sun respectively warrants that: (i) upon installation of the Y2K
fixes, products will become Listed Products; and (ii) services performed on
Listed Products will not result in them ceasing to be Listed Products.

 

14.2.4     Reseller’s sole and exclusive
remedy for Sun’s breach of these warranties will be for Sun, at its option: (i)
to use commercially reasonable efforts to repair Listed Products or provide Y2K
Fixes, as the case may be; (ii) to supply functionally equivalent Year 2000
compliant products; or (iii) if (i) and (ii) are commercially unreasonable, to
refund to Reseller its net book value for non-compliant Listed Products or
products for which scheduled Y2K Fixes were not provided.

15.3          LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES
WILL BE LIMITED AND EXCLUDED, EVEN IF ANY EXCLUSIVE REMEDY PROVIDED FOR IN THIS
AGREEMENT FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

Support Customers for the remainder of Reseller’s then existing obligations to
Support Customers pursuant to Reseller’s end-user contracts or for a period of
twelve (12) months after the date of termination of this Agreement, whichever
is shorter. The obligation stated in the preceding sentence will not apply if
Reseller fails to pay for Services after a period of thirty (30) days from the
date of the invoice for such Services. For termination for cause or bankruptcy,
or if Reseller is unable to fulfill its commitment or obligation to Support
Customers (e.g. loss of all of Reseller’s Contacts, failure of
Reseller’s HelpDesk), Sun reserves the right to cancel all obligations owed to
Reseller.

 

16.2.2          Survival. Rights and
obligations under this Agreement which by their nature should survive, will
remain in effect after termination or expiration hereof. Neither party will be

this Agreement in accordance with its terms and conditions.

 

17.      IMPORT AND EXPORT LAWS. All
products, Services and technical data delivered under this Agreement are
subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import

delivery to Reseller.

 

18.      MISCELLANEOUS.

 

	
  18.1

  	
  Entire Agreement.
  This Agreement is the parties’ entire agreement relating to its subject
  matter. It supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written
  communications, proposals, conditions, representations and warranties and
  prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote, order,
  acknowledgement, or other communication between the parties relating to its
  subject matter during the term of this Agreement. No modification to this
  Agreement will be binding, unless in writing and signed by an authorized
  representative of each party.

  Exhibit is hereby incorporated by reference. Exhibits may be modified only

  upon thirty (30) days’ notice to Reseller, and Exhibit B without any prior
  notice.

  
	
  18.3

  	
  Waiver or Delay. Any express waiver or
  failure to exercise promptly any right under this Agreement will not create a
  continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement.

  
	
  18.4

  	
  Force Majeure. A party is not liable
  under an Agreement for non-performance caused by events or conditions beyond
  that party’s control if the party makes reasonable efforts to perform. This

  then owing.

  18.6

  	
  Assignment. Neither party may assign or
  otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under this Agreement,
  without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Sun may

  company, subcontract the delivery of Services, or any of these.

  
	
  18.7

  	
  Notices. All written notices required by
  this Agreement must be delivered in person or by means evidenced by a
  delivery receipt and will be effective upon receipt.

EXHIBIT C - SUPPORT PROGRAM AGREEMENT

Master Terms of Service

 

These
Master Terms of Service (“Master Terms”) are between Sun Microsystems, Inc.,
with its principal place of business at 901 San Antonio Road, Palo Alto,
California 94303-4900 (“Sun”) and

 

Strategic Technologies, Inc. (“Customer”) 301 Gregson
Drive Cary, North Carolina 27511 (Principal Place of Business). For purposes of these Master Terms,
Customer includes all of Customer’s U.S. subsidiaries in which Customer has an
ownership interest greater than fifty percent (50%) if said subsidiaries agree,
in writing, to be bound by these Master Terms and applicable Program Modules
and Schedules (Schedules sometimes take the form of quotes).

 

1.        AGREEMENT. These Master Terms between Customer and Sun
describe the general terms by which Customer purchases services from Sun and
Sun delivers services to Customer. The Sun deliverables for each service are
described in Program Modules. The system(s) and installation site(s) covered by
each Program Module are listed in Schedule(s) to that Program Module. Each
Program Module, associated Schedule(s) and/or Exhibits, and these Master Terms
together constitute a separate agreement (“Agreement”). Customer selects
coverage pursuant to a Program Module, and agrees to be bound by and to pay the
fees therefor, a) by submitting a purchase order (or other written form of
order) for the Program Module: or b) by accepting the services from a
particular Program Module. A list of available Program Modules, and the Modules
themselves, may be obtained from Sun at any time.

 

2.        TERMINATION. Either party may terminate an Agreement
immediately by written notice: a) upon material breach by the other party, if
the breach cannot be remedied; or b) if the other party fails to cure any
material remediable breach of a particular Agreement within 30 days of receipt
of written notice of the breach. Rights and obligations under an Agreement
which by their nature should survive, will remain in effect after termination
or expiration of an Agreement.

 

3.        LICENSES. Customer’s permitted use of software provided
under a Program Module is stated in that Program Module. Sun or its independent
audit firm may, upon reasonable notice, examine and audit the records and
systems of Customer to ensure compliance with any Program Module License section.
Any audit will be performed during Customer’s normal business hours and in a
manner which avoids unreasonable interference with Customer’s business
operations.

 

4.        LIMITED
WARRANTIES.

 

4.1                 Sun will perform
the services contracted for herein in a good and workman like manner.

 

4.2                 Sun further
warrants that versions of Sun products identified on Sun’s Web site (url:
www.sun.com/y2000/cpl.html) as being Year 2000 compliant (“Listed Products”)
will not produce errors in the processing of date data related to the year
change from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000. Date representation,
including leap years, will be accurate when Listed Products are used in
accordance with their accompanying documentation, provided that all hardware
and software products used in combination with Listed Products properly
exchange date data with them.

 

4.2.1        Versions
of products identified on Sun’s external Web site as not yet compliant, but
which are scheduled to be made compliant, will become Listed Products when
remedial replacement parts, patches, software updates or subsequent releases
(“Y2K Fixes”) are issued and properly installed. Y2K Fixes for such products
will be issued no later than June 30, 1999.

 

4.2.2        Other products are not
covered by these warranties.

 

4.2.3        To the extent that Sun
installs Y2K Fixes or performs other services under this Agreement for
Customer, Sun respectively warrants that: (i) upon installation of the Y2K
fixes, products will become Listed Products: and (ii) services performed on Listed
Products will not result in them ceasing to be Listed Products.

 

4.2.4        Customer’s sole and
exclusive remedy for Sun’s breach of these warranties will be for Sun, at its
option: (i) to use commercially reasonable efforts to repair Listed Products or
provide Y2K Fixes, as the case may be: (ii) to supply functionally equivalent
Year 2000 compliant products; or (iii) if (i) and (ii) are commercially
unreasonable, to refund to Customer its net book value for non-compliant Listed
Products or products for which scheduled Y2K Fixes were not provided.

 

4.3                 UNLESS SPECIFIED
IN AN AGREEMENT, ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A
PARTICULAR PURPOSE, OR NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE DISCLAIMED, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT
THAT SUCH DISCLAIMERS ARE HELD TO BE LEGALLY INVALID.

 

5.        LIMITATION OF LIABILITY.
EXCEPT FOR OBLIGATIONS UNDER SECTION 10 (PAYMENT TERMS), SECTION 11
(INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS) AND/OR BREACH OF SECTION 13 (AIRCRAFT SERVICE
AND NUCLEAR APPLICATIONS) AND ANY APPLICABLE SOFTWARE LICENSE, AND TO THE
EXTENT NOT PROHIBITED BY APPLICABLE LAW: A) EACH PARTY’S AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO
THE OTHER FOR CLAIMS RELATING TO AN AGREEMENT, WHETHER FOR BREACH OR IN TORT
AND INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO NEGLIGENCE, SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE LESSER OF:
(i) THE AMOUNT PAID BY CUSTOMER WITHIN THE PREVIOUS 12 MONTHS FOR THE SERVICES
WHICH ARE THE SUBJECT MATTER OF THE CLAIMS, OR (ii) $250,000; AND B) NEITHER
PARTY WILL BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, PUNITIVE, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR
CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGE IN CONNECTION WITH OR ARISING OUT OF AN AGREEMENT
(INCLUDING LOSS OF BUSINESS, REVENUE, PROFITS, USE, DATA OR OTHER ECONOMIC
ADVANTAGE), HOWEVER IT ARISES, WHETHER FOR BREACH OR IN TORT, EVEN IF THAT
PARTY HAS BEEN PREVIOUSLY ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGE. LIABILITY
FOR DAMAGES SHALL BE LIMITED AND EXCLUDED, EVEN IF ANY EXCLUSIVE REMEDY
PROVIDED FOR IN AN AGREEMENT FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

 

6.        FORCE MAJEURE. A party is not liable under an Agreement for
non-performance caused by events or conditions beyond that party’s control if
the party makes reasonable efforts to perform. This provision does not relieve
either party of its obligation to make payments then owing.

 

7.        CONFIDENTIAL
INFORMATION. If either
party desires that information provided to the other party under an Agreement
be held in confidence, that party will, prior to or at the time of disclosure,
identify the information in writing as confidential or proprietary. The
recipient may not disclose such confidential or proprietary information, may
use it only for purposes specifically contemplated in this Agreement, and must
treat it with the same

 

11

 

degree
of care as it does its own similar information, but with no less than
reasonable care. These obligations do not apply to information which: a) is or
becomes known by recipient without an obligation to maintain its
confidentiality: b) is or becomes generally known to the public through no act
or omission of recipient, or c) is independently developed by recipient without
use of confidential or proprietary information. This Section will not affect
any other confidential disclosure agreement between the parties.

 

8.        ASSIGNMENT. Neither party may assign or otherwise
transfer any of its rights or obligations under an Agreement, without the prior
written consent of the other party, except that Sun may assign its right to
payment, assign an Agreement to an affiliated company, subcontract the delivery
of services, or any of these. If Sun elects to subcontract services, Sun will
remain primarily responsible for the delivery of services.

 

9.        NOTICES. All written notices required under an
Agreement must be delivered in person or by means evidenced by a delivery
receipt to the other party at the address specified on the appropriate Schedule
and will be effective upon receipt.

 

10.      PAYMENT TERMS. Customer agrees to pay any fees listed on a
Schedule within 30 days from the date of invoice. Sun may discontinue the
delivery of services upon 30 days’ notice to Customer if payment has not been
received. Fees do not include sales tax or any other tax based upon the value
of services, software or systems. These taxes are noted on invoices separately
and are Customer’s responsibility. Interest will accrue from the date on which
payment is due at the lesser of 15% per annum or the maximum rate permitted by
applicable law. Customer agrees to pay for discounts extended to Customer which
are based on volume, term of service or other criteria which are not earned by
Customer. Price Lists and standard discounts are subject to change at any time
but any such changes will not apply, until their renewal, to Schedules in
effect at the time of change. Sun discounts may vary from service offering to
service offering and may not be available on some service offerings.

 

11.      INTELLECTUAL
PROPERTY CLAIMS. Sun
will defend or settle at its option and expense any legal proceeding brought
against Customer, to the extent that it is based on a claim that the use of  the replacement parts, software updates,
maintenance releases, patches and/or SunSolve knowledge database (“Materials”)
provided to Customer by Sun infringe a trade secret, copyright, trademark, or a
U.S. patent. Sun will pay all damages and costs awarded by a court of final
appeal attributable to such claim, provided that Customer: (i) gives written
notice of the claim promptly to Sun; (ii) gives Sun sole control of the defense
and settlement of the claim; (iii) provides to Sun all available information
and assistance; and (iv) has not compromised or settled such claim. If any
Materials are found to infringe, Sun will: (i) obtain for Customer the right to
use such Materials; (ii) replace or modify such Materials so that they become
non-infringing; or if neither of these alternatives is reasonably available,
(iii) remove such Materials and refund Customer’s net book value for these
Materials. Sun has no obligation under this Section 11 for any claim which
results from: (i) use of Materials in combination with any equipment, software
or data not provided by Sun; (ii) Sun’s compliance with designs or
specifications of Customer; (iii) modification of Materials other than at Sun’s
directions; or (iv) use of an allegedly infringing version of any Materials, if
the alleged infringement could be avoided by the use of a different version
made available to Customer. THIS SECTION 11
STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF SUN AND THE EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF CUSTOMER FOR
CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT.

 

12.      IMPORT AND
EXPORT LAWS. All
products, services and technical data delivered under an Agreement are subject
to U.S. export control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations
in other countries. Customer agrees to comply strictly with all such laws and
regulations and acknowledges that it has the responsibility to obtain such
licenses to export, re-export or import as may be required after delivery to
Customer.

 

13.      AIRCRAFT
SERVICE AND NUCLEAR APPLICATIONS. Customer acknowledges that products, services and technical data are
not designed or intended for use in on-line control of aircraft, air traffic,
aircraft navigation or aircraft communications; or in the design, construction,
operation or maintenance of any nuclear facility. SUN CLAIMS ANY EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTY OF FITNESS FOR SUCH USES.

 

14.      WAIVER OR
DELAY. Any express
waiver or failure to exercise promptly any right under an Agreement will not
create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement.

 

15.      ENTIRE
AGREEMENT. An Agreement
is the parties’ entire agreement relating to its subject matter. It supersedes
all prior or contemporaneous oral or written communications, proposals,
conditions, representations and warranties and prevails over any conflicting or
additional terms of any quote, order, acknowledgment, or other communication
between the parties relating to its subject matter during the term of the
Agreement. In the event of any conflict between the terms of these Master Terms
and a Program Module, the order of precedence shall be: a) the applicable
Program Module, and b) these Master Terms. No modification to an Agreement will
be binding, unless in writing and signed by an authorized representative of
each party. If any provision, or part thereof, in an Agreement, is held to be
invalid, void, or illegal, it shall be severed from the Agreement, and shall
not affect, impair, or invalidate any other provision, or part thereof, and it
shall be replaced by a provision which comes closest to such severed provision,
or part thereof, in language and intent, without being invalid, void, or
illegal.

 

16.      GOVERNING LAW. Any action related to an Agreement will be
governed by California law and controlling U.S. federal law. No choice of law
rules of any jurisdiction will apply.

This
is a Program Module as referenced in the Master Terms of Service agreed to
between Sun and Customer. The Master Terms of Service are incorporated into
this Program Module. This SunSpectrumSM Support Program Module
describes the specific terms by which Customer purchases SunSpectrum support
services from Sun and by which Sun, through its Enterprise Services Division,
delivers SunSpectrum support services to Customer. The terms of this Program
Module apply to systems listed on a Schedule or Quote (“Schedule”) which
references this Program Module, and are identified on Sun’s then current
Enterprise Services Price List (“system(s)”). This Program Module is effective
as of the date indicated in the Schedule and continues in effect until the
expiration or termination of all Schedules to this Program Module.

 

1.        CUSTOMER REQUIREMENTS:

 

1.1                 SUPPORT REQUESTS: Customer may designate up to three (3) of
its employees as “Contacts” for each eight (8) hour shift during the period in
which Telephone Assistance is provided by Sun. Only Contacts may initiate
support requests. Each Contact must possess or, at Customer’s expense, acquire
the necessary expertise and training (as from time to time defined by Sun) to
diagnose and resolve system software malfunctions with direction by Sun.

 

1.2                 CUSTOMER’S
DUTIES: Customer will perform
routine system preventative maintenance and cleaning. Prior to requesting
support from Sun, Customer must comply with all published operating and
troubleshooting procedures for the systems. If such efforts are unsuccessful in
eliminating the malfunction, Customer will then promptly notify Sun of the
malfunction. Customer must establish and maintain a procedure external to
systems for reconstruction of lost or altered Files, data, or programs.
Customer must provide Sun support personnel with: (a) reasonable and safe
access to systems; (b) adequate working space and facilities at the
installation site necessary to service systems; and (c) cooperation in maintaining
a site activity log. Customer acknowledges that the examination, replacement,
and handling of hardware components can be hazardous. Support tasks should only
be performed by qualified service personnel with the appropriate technical
training and experience to recognize these hazards (e.g., electrostatic
discharge) and who observe all protection procedures and precautions. Customer
agrees to use qualified service personnel and to employ adequate safety
precautions in the performance of its obligations hereunder.

 

1.3                 MOVEMENT OF
COVERED SYSTEMS: All services will
be delivered at the installation site(s) indicated on the Schedule(s)
referencing this Program Module. To facilitate continued support, Customer must
give Sun at least thirty (30) days’ written notice, prior to any movement of
systems, specifying the new installation site. Support of systems moved by
Customer to a new installation site is subject to local availability and will
be subject to additional fees. If requested by Customer, Sun may supervise any
movement of systems in accordance with the terms and conditions of the SunMOVESSM
Program Module. If Sun does not supervise the movement of systems. Sun may
require that it inspect and recertify the systems, at Sun’s then current
published time and materials rates, as a condition of continued support of
those systems.

 

1.4                 REMOTE SUPPORT
REQUIREMENTS: To obtain remote
services, including without limitation Remote Systems Monitoring and Remote
Dial-In Analysis, Customer must procure and maintain a Sun-specified gateway,
and Customer is responsible for any costs associated with procuring and
maintaining that gateway. Customer gives Sun permission to remotely access
Customer’s systems, in the event Customer elects to receive remote services.
Customer will be responsible for all outbound telecommunications charges
related to the remote services. If remote services are not permitted or
facilitated by Customer, Sun reserves the right to decline to deliver remote
services and/or to assess additional charges on Customer for the delivery of
services which would otherwise be provided remotely.

 

2.        ADDITIONAL SYSTEMS:
Customer may add systems to a Schedule at Sun’s then current per system fee, at
any time upon notice to Sun, subject to the rights of Sun set forth below in
INSPECTIONS. Sun will provide services for systems added to a Schedule for a
period coterminous with the term of the
Schedule, and Sun shall pro rata the fee for such services. Customer will receive an add-on Schedule
reflecting the additional covered systems and associated additional fee.

 

3.        SCHEDULE TERMINATION AND RENEWAL: Except as provided in Section 2,
Termination, of the Master Terms of Service, neither party may terminate a
Schedule during its initial effective term. The initial effective term is set
forth on the applicable Schedule. A Schedule may be renewed for successive one
(1) year periods upon receipt by Sun of a purchase order, acceptable to Sun, at
least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current effective
term. Either party may terminate a renewed Schedule by providing sixty (60)
days’ prior written notice.

 

4.        PRICES: Sun retains the right to modify its prices
upon renewal of any Schedule and, in any event, annually. The foregoing
notwithstanding. Sun will continue to honor Customer’s term of service
discount. In the event that the Customer prepays the entire amount due or
issues a fully funded purchase order, Sun will not modify its prices during the
period covered by the prepayment or the fully funded purchase order.

 

5.        INSPECTIONS: Systems are subject to inspection by Sun
prior to the commencement of support, and any costs for required repairs or
updates will be charged to Customer at Sun’s current published time and
material rates.

 

6.        LICENSE: Software updates, version releases and
product releases (collectively “enhancement releases”), maintenance releases,
patches, and SunSolveTM knowledge database provided hereunder may only be used,
or accessed by, systems listed on a Schedule. Use of software enhancement
releases, maintenance releases, and patches is governed by the applicable
software license obtained with the original product. On line versions of
support databases may only be accessed by Contacts for the sole purpose of
diagnosing and resolving problems on systems listed on a Schedule. Use of
educational software and videotape products is governed by, and the Customer
agrees to be bound by, the license agreement accompanying each individual
product.

 

7.        EXCLUSIONS: Sun’s obligation to provide support services
under this Program Module is contingent upon proper use and care of systems.
Sun has no obligation to provide support under this Program Module, should such
support be required because of: (a) improper use, abuse, accident, or neglect;
(b) alterations, modifications, or attempts to repair systems not authorized by
Sun: (c) causes external to the system, such as failure to maintain
environmental conditions within the operating range specified by the
manufacturer of the systems; (d) attachment of the system to equipment,
software, or other items which are not on Sun’s then current Enterprise
Services Price List: (e) relocations or attempts to relocate systems not
supervised by Sun: or (f) failure to maintain software and systems at
Sun-specified minimum configuration or release level. Any support delivered by
Sun as a result of such events will be invoiced separately and paid at Sun’s
then current published time and materials rates. Operating supplies and
accessories, such as magnetic tapes and anti-glare coatings on video display
monitors, and unsupported options arc not covered by this Program Module. Sun
will nave no obligation to provide support under this Program Module if
Customer fails to meet its obligations under Section 10 (Payment Terms) of the
Master Terms of Service.

 

8.        LEVELS OF SUPPORT: The attached pages list the services provided
for systems on a Schedule which designates the corresponding level of support,
subject to payment of the minimum applicable fee for such support level
(“Minimum Fee”). Sun’s service offerings are continually evolving. Accordingly,
Sun reserves the right to make service substitutions and modifications at any
time that do not cause a materially adverse effect in overall service
performance. Customer will receive the following service deliverables when it
purchases the corresponding level of support:

 

13

 

a)

in Sections 3.2 and 3.3 above, Sun may terminate these Master Terms and any or
all Exhibits, immediately by written notice if Partner:

 

(a)                     breaches any Sun Software license;

 

(b)                    breaches Section 5 (Confidential

 

1

 

Information)
of these Master Terms;

 

(c)                     breaches (or Sun reasonably believes Partner
will breach) the U.S. Export Administration Regulations, the U.S. Foreign
Corrupt Practices Act or similar laws or regulations of any other government;
or

 

(d)                    infringes or challenges the validity of any
Sun copyright or Sun Trademark (as defined herein).

 

3.5                   Consequences of Termination
or Expiration. Upon any
expiration or termination of the Agreement (or all of them), the following will
occur:

 

(a)                     all outstanding invoices and amounts owing from
Partner to Sun will thereupon become immediately due and payable;

 

(b)                    Sun will have the right of first refusal to
repurchase Products in Partner’s inventory at the lower of net invoice price or
the then fair market value, as may be adjusted for any amounts due but unpaid
pursuant to Section 3.5(a). If Sun desires to exercise this right, it will do
so by written notice. Except in the case of Sun’s termination for material
breach, for a period of ninety (90) days from the date of termination or
expiration, Partner may sell and/or license under the terms of the Agreement
any inventory Sun elects not to repurchase;

 

(c)                     Sun will have the right to cancel by written
notice all or part of any unfulfilled order previously accepted by Sun. To the
extent that Sun does not cancel any such order, the Agreement will continue to
apply to such order;

 

(d)                    Partner will immediately return all Sun
property under Partner’s control (including without limitation all Sun
confidential information, schematics, manuals, Software and Sun business plans)
and remove, cancel and/or cease to use the Sun Trademarks, any signs or other
advertising materials referring to Sun, or Products or Services or to Partner
as an authorized reseller of Sun; and

 

(e)                     all of Partner’s rights under the Agreement
shall immediately cease and Partner shall at no time in the future represent
that it is an authorized reseller of Sun or that it is in any way associated
with Sun or Products or Services.

 

3.6                   Survival. Rights and obligations under the Agreement
which by their nature should survive, will remain in effect after termination
or expiration of the Agreement.

 

3.7                   No Liability for Termination
or Expiration. The right of
termination or expiration provided herein is absolute. Each party waives and
releases the other from any claim to compensation or indemnity related to the
permitted or lawful termination of the business relationship established under
the Agreement.

 

4.                         COMMERCIAL TERMS

 

4.1                   Commercial terms for Partners who purchase
Products or Services from a Sun authorized Master Reseller will be determined
by Partner’s agreement with such Master Reseller. This Section 4.1 applies only
to Partners who purchase Products or Services directly from Sun.

 

(a)                     Prices and Taxes. Prices and fees for Products and Services are
exclusive of all shipping and insurance charges, and do not include sales tax
or any other tax based upon the value of Products and/or Services. Partner is
responsible for payment of all such charges and taxes.

 

(b)                    Payments. If Partner satisfies Sun’s credit
requirements, payment terms are net thirty (30) days from (i) the date of
invoice for Products or Services, or (ii) where Partner is purchasing Products,
the date of shipment of Products, whichever is the later. Otherwise terms are
cash in advance of delivery. Sun in its reasonable commercial judgment may
place Partner on credit hold, in which event, Sun will promptly inform Partner
and may: i) with respect to Product purchases, delay or reschedule Partner
orders, and ii) with respect to Services, discontinue delivery upon thirty (30)
days’ written notice to Partner. Interest will accrue from the date on which
payment is due at the lesser of fifteen percent (15%) per annum or the maximum
rate permitted by applicable law. Partner will not be required to pay the
disputed portion of any invoice, pending resolution of that dispute, provided
that written notice of the dispute has been forwarded to Sun in writing within
fifteen (15) days of the date of that invoice.

 

2

 

4.2                   Records and Audits. During the term of the
Agreement and for a period of five (5) years thereafter, Partner will maintain
accurate records as necessary to verity compliance with the Agreement. Sun may
audit these records at any time after reasonable written notice to verify
compliance. Sun will conduct this audit through an independent auditor of Sun’s
choice (“Auditor”). Auditor will be bound to keep confidential the details of
the business affairs of Partner and to limit disclosure of the audit results to
only the sufficiency of the records, including, whether Partner is in
compliance with the terms of the Agreement and the amount, if applicable, of
any required additional payment or other payment adjustment. Except as
described below, Sun will bear all costs and expenses associated with the
exercise of its audit rights. Any errors in payments identified will be
corrected by Partner by appropriate adjustment in payment for the quarterly
period during which the error is discovered. In the event of an underpayment of
more than five percent (5%), Partner will reimburse Sun the amount of the
underpayment, the reasonable charges of the Auditor in performing the audit
that identified the underpayment, and interest on the overdue amount at the
maximum allowable interest rate from the date the obligation accrued.

 

5.        CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION

 

If either party desires
that information provided to the other party under the Agreement be held in
confidence, that party will, prior to or at the time of disclosure, identify
the information in writing as confidential or proprietary. The recipient may
not disclose such confidential or proprietary information, may use it only for
purposes specifically contemplated in the Agreement, and must treat it with the
same degree of care as it does its own similar information, but with no less
than reasonable care. These obligations do not apply to information which: a)
is or becomes known by recipient without an obligation to maintain its
confidentiality; b) is or becomes generally known to the public through no act
or omission of recipient; or c) is independently developed by recipient without
use of confidential or proprietary information. This section will not affect
any other confidential disclosure agreement between the parties.

 

6.        LIMITED WARRANTIES

 

6.1                   Product and Service Warranties. Any
warranties for Products and Services will be specified in the Exhibit(s).

that specified versions of Products identified on Sun’s external Website

(url: www.sun.com/y2000/cpl.html) as being Year 2000 compliant (“Listed
Products”) will not produce errors in the processing of date data related to
the year change from December 31, 1999 to January 1, 2000. Date representation,
including leap years, will be accurate when Listed Products are used in
accordance with their accompanying documentation, provided that all hardware
and software products used in combination with Listed Products properly
exchange date data with them.

 

(b)                    Versions of
Products identified on Sun’s external Web site as not yet compliant, but which
are scheduled to be made compliant, will become Listed Products when remedial
replacement parts, patches, software updates or subsequent releases (“Y2K
Fixes”) are issued and properly installed.

 

(c)                     Other
Products are not covered by these warranties.

 

(d)                    To the extent

Partner, Sun respectively warrants that:

 

(i) upon installation of
the Y2K Fixes, Products will become Listed Products; and

 

(ii) Services performed
on Listed Products will not result in them ceasing to be Listed Products.

 

(e)                     Partner’s
sole and exclusive remedy for Sun’s breach of these warranties will be for Sun
at its option: (i) to use commercially reasonable efforts to repair Listed Products
or provide Y2K Fixes, as the case may be; (ii) to supply functionally
equivalent Year 2000 compliant products; or (iii) if (i) and (ii) are
commercially unreasonable, to refund to Partner its net book value respectively
for non-compliant Listed Products or products for which scheduled Y2K Fixes
were not provided.

 

6.3                   DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTIES. UNLESS
SPECIFIED IN THE AGREEMENT, ALL EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS
AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY IMPLIED WARRANTY OF

 

3

NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE DISCLAIMED, EXCEPT TO THE EXTENT THAT SUCH DISCLAIMERS
ARE HELD TO BE LEGALLY INVALID.

 

7.        IMPORT AND EXPORT LAWS

 

All Products, Services
and technical data delivered under the Agreement are subject to U.S. export
control laws and may be subject to export or import regulations in other
countries. Partner agrees to comply strictly with all such laws and regulations

names, marks, logos, designs, trade dress and other brand designations used by
Sun in connection with Products and Services. Partner may refer to Products and
Services by the associated Sun Trademarks provided that such reference is not
misleading and complies with Sun’s Trademark and Logo Policies. Partner may not
remove or alter any Sun Trademarks, nor may it co-logo Products. Partner agrees
that any use of Sun Trademarks by Partner will inure to the sole benefit of Sun
or its licensors. Partner agrees not to incorporate any Sun Trademarks into
Partner’s trademarks, service marks, company names, internet addresses, domain
names, or any other similar designations.

 

9.2                   Special Program Logos. Partner may use the
special program logo, if any, applicable to Partner’s appointment, as

9.3                   Use of Partner Information. Sun has the

10.      INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CLAIMS

 

Sun will indemnify
Partner for its reasonable expenses and will defend or settle at Sun’s option
and expense any legal proceeding brought against Partner, to the extent that it
is based on a claim that Products infringe a trade secret, a trademark, a mask
work, a copyright or a patent. Sun will pay all damages and costs awarded by
the court which finally determines the case or are incurred in the settlement
thereof, provided that Partner: (a) gives written notice of the claim promptly
to Sun; (b) gives Sun sole control of the defense and settlement of the claim;
(c) provides to Sun all available information and assistance; and (d) has not
compromised or settled such claim. If any Products or Materials are found to

to: (a) obtain for Partner the right to use such Products and/or Materials; (b)
replace or modify such Products and/or Materials so that they become
non-infringing; or if neither of these alternatives is reasonably available,
(c) remove such Products and/or Materials and refund Partner’s net book value
for these Products and/or Materials. Sun has no obligation under this Section
10 for any claim which results from: (a) use of Products and/or Materials in
combination with any equipment, software or data not provided by Sun; (b) Sun’s
compliance with designs or specifications of Partner; (c) modification of
Products and/or Materials; or (d) use of an allegedly infringing version of any
Products and/or Materials, if the alleged infringement could be avoided by the
use of a different version made available to Partner. THIS SECTION 10 STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF SUN AND
EXCLUSIVE REMEDIES OF Partner FOR CLAIMS OF INFRINGEMENT.

 

11.      LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

but not limited to negligence, will be limited to the amount paid to Sun for
Products, Services, or Materials which are the subject matter of the claims,
and (ii) neither party will be liable for any indirect, punitive, special,
incidental or consequential damages in connection with or arising out of the
Agreement (including loss of business, revenue, profits, use, data or other
economic advantage) however it arises, whether for breach or in tort, even if
that

 

4

 

party has been previously
advised of the possibility of such damage. LIABILITY
FOR DAMAGES WILL BE LIMITED AND EXCLUDED EVEN IF ANY EXCLUSIVE REMEDY PROVIDED
FOR IN THE AGREEMENT FAILS OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE.

 

12.                  INDEMNITY AND
INSURANCE

(including legal fees and costs), relating to (i) Partner’s use or distribution
of Products and Services under the Agreement or (ii) any acts or omissions of
Partner. Partner shall carry liability insurance to protect Sun from all such
claims, pay the premiums therefor, and deliver to Sun, upon request, proof of
such insurance (which shall require thirty (30) days’ written notice to Sun in
event of modification or termination).

 

13.      FORCE MAJEURE

 

A party is not liable
under the Agreement for non-performance caused by events or conditions beyond
that party’s control, if the party makes reasonable efforts to perform. This
provision does not relieve either party of its obligation to make payments then
owing.

 

14.      WAIVER OR DELAY

 

Any express waiver or
failure to exercise promptly any right under the Agreement will not create a
continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement.

 

15.                  ASSIGNMENTS

 

Neither party may assign
or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under the Agreement,
without the prior written consent of the other party, except that Sun may
assign its right to payment, assign the Agreement to an affiliated company, or
subcontract the delivery of Services or Products. If Sun elects to subcontract
Service or Product delivery, Sun will remain primarily responsible for
delivery.

 

16.                  RELATIONSHIP OF
THE PARTIES

 

An Agreement is not
intended to create a relationship such as a partnership, franchise, joint venture,
agency, or fiduciary or employment relationship. Neither party may act in a
manner which expresses or implies a relationship other than that of independent
contractor, nor bind the other party.

 

17.                  NOTICES

 

All written notices
required by the Agreement must be delivered in person or by means evidenced by
a delivery receipt or via email or website and will be effective upon receipt.

 

18.                  SEVERABILITY

 

If any provision of the
Agreement is held invalid by any law or regulation of any government or by any
court or arbitrator, such invalidity will not affect the enforceability of any
other provisions.

 

19.                  GOVERNING LAW

 

Disputes which cannot be
settled amicably will be governed by the laws of California and controlling US
Federal law. Choice of law rules of any jurisdiction and the United Nations
Convention on Contracts for the International Sale of Goods will not apply.

 

20.                  ENTIRE AGREEMENT

 

20.1             An Agreement (which
includes the applicable Exhibit) is the parties’ entire agreement relating to
its subject matter. It cancels and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral
or written communications, proposals, conditions, representations and
warranties and prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote,
order, acknowledgment, or other communication between the parties relating to
its subject matter.

 

20.2             No modification to
the Agreement will be binding, unless in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of each party.

 

20.3             The provisions of
this Agreement are not altered by the terms and conditions of any other
agreement Partner may have with Sun.

 

21.                  SURVIVAL

 

Rights and obligations
under this Agreement which by their nature should survive, will remain in
effect after termination or expiration.

during the term of this Software Exhibit, Sun decreases the Fee for any
Software, Partner will be entitled to a credit toward new orders for any
Software placed within thirty (30) days after announcement by Sun. This credit
will be equal to the difference between the new Fee and the Fee paid by Partner
less any previous credits provided, for the affected Software multiplied by the
quantity of that Software in Partner’s inventory as of the date of the
announcement. In order to claim this credit, Partner must, within thirty (30)
days of announcement of a change which decreases Fees, supply Sun with a
written report including: (a) the identification of all affected Software which
were in Partner’s inventory immediately prior to announcement of the decrease;
(b) the net Fee for this Software before and after the decrease and (c) other

are for the Software releases current as of the Effective Date. Except as
provided in Section 4 of this Software Exhibit, Updates, Version Releases and

remedy or timely submit a PSR may result in immediate termination of this
Agreement.

 

E.                        Indemnity and Insurance. Partner agrees to
indemnify and hold Sun harmless from and against all claims from Partner’s End

other than in accordance with the Product manual or, (iii) repaired by any
third party in a manner which fails to meet Sun’s maintenance requirements and

Software, except to the extent any of the foregoing limitations are
unenforceable under applicable law. Software is not designed or licensed for
use in on-line control equipment in hazardous environments such as operation of
nuclear facilities, aircraft navigation or control, or direct life support
machines.

 

4.        Confidentiality.
Software is confidential and proprietary information of Sun and/or its
licensors. Customer agrees to take adequate steps to protect Software from
unauthorized disclosure or use.

 

5.        Warranty.
Sun warrants that the media on which Software is furnished will be free of
defects in materials and workmanship under normal use for a period of ninety
(90) days from the date of purchase, as evidenced by a copy of the receipt.
Otherwise, Software is provided “AS IS,” without a warranty of any kind. This
warranty extends only to Customer as the original licensee. Customer’s
exclusive remedy and Sun’s entire liability under this warranty will be the
correction of defects in media or replacement of the media, or, if correction
or replacement is not reasonably achievable by Sun, the refund to Customer of
the license fee paid, upon return of Software.

 

6.        Disclaimer
of Warranty. EXCEPT AS SPECIFIED IN THIS LICENSE AGREEMENT, ALL
EXPRESS OR IMPLIED CONDITIONS, REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES, INCLUDING ANY
IMPLIED WARRANTY OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE OR
NON-INFRINGEMENT, ARE HEREBY EXCLUDED TO THE EXTENT ALLOWED BY APPLICABLE LAW.

 

7.        Limitation
of Liability. IN NO EVENT WILL SUN BE LIABLE FOR ANY LOST REVENUE,
PROFIT OR DATA, OR FOR SPECIAL, INDIRECT, CONSEQUENTIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE
DAMAGES HOWEVER CAUSED AND REGARDLESS OF THEORY OF LIABILITY ARISING OUT OF THE
USE OF OR INABILITY TO USE SOFTWARE, EVEN IF SUN HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE
POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. In no event shall Sun’s liability to Customer,
whether in contract, tort (including negligence), or otherwise, exceed the
license fee paid by Customer for Software. The foregoing limitations shall
apply even if the above stated warranty fails of its essential purpose.

 

8.        Termination.
This License is effective until terminated. Customer may terminate this License
at any time by destroying all copies of Software including any documentation.
This License will terminate immediately without notice from Sun if Customer
fails to comply with any provision of this License. Upon termination, Customer
must destroy all copies of Software.

 

9.        Export
Regulations. Software, including technical data, is subject to U.S.
export control laws, including the U.S. Export Administration Act and its
associated regulations, and may be subject to export or import regulations in
other countries. Customer agrees to comply strictly with all such regulations
and acknowledges that it has the responsibility to obtain licenses to export,
re-export, or import Software.

 

10.      U.S.
Government Restricted Rights. If Customer is acquiring Software
including accompanying documentation on behalf of the U.S. Government, the
following provisions apply. If Software is supplied to the Department of
Defense (“DOD”), Software is subject to “Restricted Rights”, as that term is
defined in the DOD Supplement to the Federal Acquisition Regulations (“DFAR”)
in paragraph 252.227-7013(c)(1). If Software is supplied to any unit or agency
of the United States Government other than DOD, the Government’s rights in
Software will be as defined in paragraph 52.227-19(c)(2) of the Federal
Acquisition Regulations (“FAR”). Use, duplication, reproduction, or disclosure
by the Government is subject to such restrictions or successor provisions.

construed in accordance with the laws of the State of California, U.S.A.,
excluding its choice of law provisions.

 

12.      Integration.
This Agreement is the entire agreement between Customer and Sun relating to
Software and: (i) supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written
communications, proposals and representations with respect to its subject
matter; and (ii) prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of any
quote, order, acknowledgement, or similar communication between the parties
during the term of this Agreement. No modification to this Agreement will be

defend or settle, at its option and expense, any legal proceeding brought against the other (“the Indemnified
Party”) to the extent that it is based on a claim that materials (which term
includes Products) developed and provided by the Indemnifying Party infringe a
third party’s patent, trade secret or copyright. The Indemnifying Party will
indemnify the Indemnified Party against all damages and costs attributable
exclusively to such claim awarded by the court finally determining the case,
provided that the Indemnified Party:

 

(a)                     gives written notice of the claim promptly to the
Indemnifying Party;

 

(b)                    gives the Indemnifying Party sole control of
the defense and settlement of the claim;

 

(c)                     provides to the Indemnifying Party, at the
expense of the Indemnifying Party, all available information and assistance;

 

(d)                    does not compromise or settle such claim; and

 

(e)                     Is not in material breach of any Agreement.

 

6.2                   If such materials are found to infringe, or in the reasonable opinion of the
Indemnifying Party are likely to be the subject of a claim, the Indemnifying
Party will at its option:

 

(a)                     obtain for the Indemnified Party the right to
use such materials;

 

(b)                    replace or modify the materials so they become
non-infringing; or

 

(c)                     if neither (a) nor (b) is reasonably
achievable, remove such materials and refund their net book value.

 

6.3                   Neither party has any obligation to the extent any
claim results from:

 

(a)                     use of materials in combination with any third
party equipment, software or data;

 

(b)                    compliance by the Indemnifying Party with the
designs or specifications of the Indemnified Party;

 

(c)                     modification of materials other than at the
direction of the Indemnifying Party; or

 

(d)                    use of an allegedly infringing version of the
materials, if the alleged infringement could have been avoided by the use of a
different version made available to the Indemnified Party.

 

6.4                   This section states the entire liability of each
party (as Indemnifying Party) and the exclusive remedies of each party (as
Indemnified Party) for claims that materials infringe a third party’s IPR.

 

7.        LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

 

7.1                   No limitation on certain categories of
liability. Each party
acknowledges the full extent of its own liability to the other, arising from:

 

(a)                     death or  personal
injury resulting from negligent acts or omissions;

 

(b)                    breach of any applicable license grant; or

 

(c)                     claims for non payment;

 

and the non-excludable
statutory rights of consumers (for example, under laws providing for strict
product liability) are not affected.

 

7.2                   Limitations on other categories of liability. Subject to 7.1 above and to the extent not
prohibited by applicable law:

 

(a)                     each party’s maximum aggregate liability for all
claims relating to any Agreement, whether for breach of contract, breach of
warranty or

 

2

 

in tort, including
negligence, will be limited to two million US dollars (U.S. $2,000,000) or, in
the case of purchases, to the amount paid to the other party during the
previous twelve (12) months for the product or service which is the subject
matter of the claim up to a maximum of two million US dollars ($2,000,000); and

 

(b)                    neither party
will be liable for any indirect, punitive, special, incidental or consequential
damages in connection with or arising out of the General Terms or any Agreement
(including, without limitation, loss of business, revenue, profits, goodwill,
use, data, electronically transmitted orders, or other economic advantage),
however they arise, whether in breach of contract, breach of warranty or in
tort, including negligence, and even if that party has previously been advised
of the possibility of such damages.

 

7.3                   Failure of essential purpose. Liability for
damages will be limited and excluded, even if any exclusive remedy provided for
in the Agreement fails of its essential purpose.

 

8.                         TERMINATION
AND EXPIRATION

 

8.1                   Termination for cause. Either party may
terminate the General Terms or any Exhibit immediately by written notice:

 

(a)                     if the other
party commits a non-remediable material breach of the General Terms or Exhibit
(as the case may be); or

 

(b)                    if the other
party fails to cure any remediable material breach within thirty (30) days of
being notified in writing of such breach.

 

8.2                   Termination without cause.

 

(a)                     Either party
may terminate the General Terms immediately by written notice if no Exhibit is
in effect.

 

(b)                    Either party
may terminate any Exhibit at any time upon expiration of ninety (90) days’
written notice.

 

8.3                   Actions following termination or expiration. On
termination or expiration of the General Terms (for whatever reason), all
Exhibits shall automatically terminate with immediate effect. Following
termination or expiration of an Exhibit (for whatever reason), each party will
deliver to the other any property of the other in its possession or control
relating to that Exhibit, in good condition, reasonable wear and tear excepted.

 

8.4                   Effect of termination. Neither party will
be liable for any damages arising out of the termination or expiration of the
General Terms or any Exhibit, provided that such termination or expiration will
not affect any right to recover:

 

(a)                     damages
sustained by reason of material breach; or

 

(b)                    any payments
which may be owing in respect of any Agreement.

 

9.                         ASSIGNMENT
AND SUBCONTRACTING

 

9.1                   Neither party
may assign or otherwise transfer any of its rights or obligations under the
General Terms or any Exhibit without the prior written consent of the other
party, which consent will not be unreasonably withheld, except that:

 

(a)                     both parties
may assign their right to receive payment; and

 

(b)                    Sun may use
subcontractors in the performance of its obligations, in which case Sun will
remain responsible for the performance by such sub-contractors.

 

10.                  DISPUTE
RESOLUTION

 

The parties will use
reasonable efforts to resolve any dispute arising out of the General Terms or
any Exhibit through a meeting of appropriate managers from each party. If the
parties are unable to resolve the dispute, either party may escalate the
dispute to its executives. If an executive level meeting fails to resolve the
dispute within thirty (30) days after escalation, either party may seek any
available legal relief. This provision will not affect either party’s right to
seek injunctive or other provisional relief at any time.

 

11.                  GENERAL

 

11.1             Governing law.

 

(a)                     All disputes
will be governed by the laws of California. The venue for litigation will be
the appropriate courts located in Santa Clara County, California.

 

(b)                    Choice of law
rules of any jurisdiction and the United Nations Convention on Contracts for
the International Sale of Goods will not apply to any dispute under the
Agreement.

 

11.2             Force majeure. A party is not liable under
any Agreement for non-performance caused by events or conditions beyond that
party’s reasonable control, if the party makes reasonable efforts to perform.
This provision does not relieve either party of its obligation to make payments
then owing.

 

11.3             Notices. All written notices required by
the General Terms or any Exhibit must be delivered in person or by means
evidenced by a delivery receipt or acknowledgment and will be effective upon
receipt. Notices communicated by electronic mail or facsimile will be deemed to
be written.

 

11.4             Relationship. Neither the General Terms nor
any Agreement is intended to create a partnership, franchise, joint venture,
agency, or a fiduciary or employment relationship. Neither party may bind the
other party or act in a manner which expresses or implies a relationship other
than that of independent contractor.

 

11.5             Invalidity. If any provision of the General
Terms or any Agreement is held invalid by any law or

 

3

 

regulation of any
government or by any court or arbitrator, such invalidity will not affect the
enforceability of other provisions.

 

11.6             Survival. Rights and obligations under the
General Terms and any Exhibit which by their nature should survive, will remain
in effect after termination or expiration of the General Terms or the relevant
Exhibit.

 

11.7             No waiver. Any express waiver or failure to
exercise promptly any right under the General Terms or any Exhibit will not
create a continuing waiver or any expectation of non-enforcement.

 

11.8             Modification. No modification to the
General Terms or any Exhibit will be binding, unless in writing and manually
signed by an authorized representative of each party.

 

11.9             Entire agreement. Each Agreement
constitutes the parties’ entire agreement relating to its subject matter. It
cancels and supersedes all prior or contemporaneous oral or written
communications, proposals, conditions, representations and warranties and
prevails over any conflicting or additional terms contained in any quote,
purchase order, acknowledgment, or other communication between the parties
relating to its subject matter during its term.

interest in and to the Sun Trademarks and all associated goodwill. Company is
granted no right, title or license to, or interest in, any Sun Trademark.
Company agrees not to challenge Sun’s ownership or use, or the validity, of the
Sun Trademarks, or attempt to adopt or register any mark identical or
confusingly similar to any of the Sun Trademarks. Should Company acquire (by
operation of law or otherwise) any rights in any Sun Trademark, it shall
immediately at no expense to Sun assign to Sun all such rights and associated
goodwill, applications and registrations. Company will cooperate with Sun and
take all reasonable actions required to assist Sun to secure, protect and
maintain ownership rights in the Sun Trademarks worldwide, at Sun’s cost,
including giving prompt notice to Sun of any potential infringement thereof and
cooperating with Sun in the preparation, execution and recording of legal
documents necessary to register or otherwise protect the Sun Trademarks.

program for Company’s Partner Type(s) and only:

 

(a)                     in the exact form
provided by Sun;

 

(b)                    in pre-sale
advertising and marketing materials that prominently display Company’s own
corporate name and logo, but not on product, packaging, documentation, shipping
containers, or other materials distributed with Products or the rendering of
Services;

 

(c)                     on Company’s
web site, as a link to the Sun Microsystems home page (www.sun.com)  or to an Internet URL to be provided by Sun’s iForce
program manager;

 

(d)                    in a manner
less prominent than Company’s own corporate name and logo;

 

(e)                     in accordance
with the Sun Trademark & Logo Usage Requirements and with any graphics
standards distributed by Sun;

 

(f)                       in a manner
that is truthful and not misleading, and that does not use the Logo to imply
any relationship with, or endorsement or sponsorship by, Sun that is not true;

 

(g)                    in a manner
that avoids disparaging statements or implications about Sun or its products or
services;

 

(h)                    on materials
that are in compliance with all applicable laws and governmental regulations;
and

 

(i)                        with the
following trademark legend on the page where the Logo appears (unless Company
is required to use a more specific legend by any other agreement Company may
have with Sun): “Sun, Sun Microsystems, the Sun logo and iForce are trademarks
or registered trademarks of Sun

 

5

 

Microsystems, Inc. in the
U.S. and other countries and are used with permission. Company and its
products/services are independent of Sun Microsystems, Inc.”

 

This grant does not
extend to Company’s subsidiaries, affiliates, suppliers, distributors, dealers,
agents, customers, or other third-party entities. Company shall promptly modify
any use of the Logo that does not comply with this Agreement upon notice from
Sun specifying the non-compliance, which noncompliance shall be determined in
Sun’s discretion. Sun may change the Logo, or create new logos to replace the
Logo currently in use. Upon reasonable notice from Sun, Company shall promptly
modify its use of the Logo to conform to any such changed or new logo.

 

10.3              Injunctive Relief. Company agrees that a
material breach of the obligations in this section 10 is likely to cause
irreparable harm to Sun for which damages would not be an adequate remedy.
Therefore, in addition to its rights and remedies otherwise available at law,
including, without limitation, the recovery of damages for breach of this
Agreement, Sun shall be entitled to: (a) immediate equitable relief,
specifically including, but not limited to, both interim and permanent restraining
orders and injunctions; and (b) to such other and further equitable relief as
the court may deem proper under the circumstances.

means the systems indicated on the relevant Order Confirmation;

 

2.        SUN’S OBLIGATIONS

 

2.1                   Exclusions from
Services. Sun’s obligation to provide Services under this Exhibit is
subject to Company’s fulfillment of its obligations set out in the Guide, and
contingent upon proper use and care of Covered Systems. Sun has no obligation
to provide support services that are required because of:

 

(a)                     improper use,
abuse, accident, or neglect;

 

(b)                    alterations,
modifications, or attempts to repair systems not authorized by Sun;

 

(c)                     alterations
or modifications of Software code;

 

(d)                    use of
Software with products or equipment not on the applicable Price List or
approved by Sun in writing;

 

(e)                     failure to
maintain Software or systems at the Sun specified minimum release level or
configuration necessary to effectuate problem fixes or keep a system within the
terms of Sun’s end of life support;

 

(f)                       causes
external to the system, such as failure to maintain environmental conditions
within the operating range specified by Sun;

 

(g)                    attachment of
the Covered System to or use with equipment, software, or other items which are
not sold to Company or End Purchaser by Sun;

 

(h)                    problems
caused by relocations or attempts to relocate Covered Systems; or

 

(i)                        problems
attributable to components other than the Covered System.

 

Sun will use commercially
reasonable efforts to make support required as a result of such events
available outside of this Exhibit, and any such support will be invoiced
separately and paid at Sun’s then-current published time and materials rates in
the country in which the support is provided.

 

3.        IPR OWNERSHIP AND LICENSE TERMS FOR SERVICE DELIVERABLES

 

3.1       License
terms.

 

(a)                     License to Company. Sun grants to Company a
non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use Deliverables for its internal
use only, subject to:

 

(i)                       any
restrictions set out in the Order or Order Confirmation as to the permitted
number of users and CPUs; and

 

(ii)                    any
supplemental license terms accompanying the Deliverable.

 

(b)                    Permission to sub-license. To the extent of
its authorization as set out in the Schedule, and subject to any limitations
set out in the Guide or the applicable Service Listing or SOW, Sun grants
Company the right to grant End Purchasers in the territory to which such
authorization applies, a royalty free, non-transferable, right and license to
use Deliverables for such End Purchaser’s Internal use. Company shall:

 

(i)                       implement
its own end user license agreement with such End Purchasers, which agreement is
consistent with the rights and obligations in this section, and incorporates in
substance, and is no less protective of Sun than, the terms set out in this
section;

 

(ii)                    use
commercially reasonable efforts to enforce the terms of any such end user
license agreement; and

 

(iii)                 where Company
obtains an indemnity from End Purchasers for any damages incurred by Sun, to
the extent such damage is caused by misuse by End Purchasers of a Sun
deliverable that is sublicensed by Company, pay such damage award to Sun.

 

(c)                     Use of  tools
and Updates. Tools may be accessed only by authorized Company
contacts for the sole purpose of diagnosing and resolving problems on Covered
Systems. The provision of an Update will not alter any warranty on the Software
previously

 

9

 

licensed, and such
Updates may be used or accessed only in connection with the use of Covered
Systems.

 

(d)                   License restrictions. Except to the extent
permitted by applicable law, Company may not:

 

(i)                        make
copies of Deliverables, other than for archival purposes;

 

(ii)                     modify,
decompile, or reverse-engineer Deliverables;

 

(iii)                  authorize End
Purchasers to do the foregoing.

 

(e)                    Reservation of  rights. Software is confidential and copyrighted, all rights
therein not expressly granted to Company are reserved to Sun, and Sun retains
title to all copies.

be performed in a good and workmanlike manner.

 

4.2                   Exclusive remedy. Company’s sole and
exclusive remedy and Sun’s entire liability for breach of the above warranty
will be reperformance of Services.

performance of the Services at issue.

5.1                   Charges and
invoices. The charges for Services are as set out in the Price List or the
applicable SOW (if not in the Price List). Charges for systems support Services

provisions relating to Accepted Orders for Services.

 

(a)                     Renewal. In order to ensure that Service is
not interrupted, Company should renew a renewable Accepted Order for Services
for successive one (1) year periods by submitting a new Order in accordance

for Services upon renewal of any such Accepted Order, or annually for Accepted
Orders with a term of more than one year.

 

(b)                    Termination. Without limiting section 9.1
of the main text of the Exhibit, the following additional provisions shall
apply to Accepted Orders for Services:

 

(i)                       neither
party may terminate a renewable Accepted Order for Services without cause
during its initial term; and

 

(ii)                    (either party
may terminate a renewed Accepted Order for Services without cause after its
initial term by giving sixty (60) days’ prior written notice to the other
party.

 

7.        SERVICES SUPPLIED TO COMPANY AS AN END PURCHASER

 

The rights and
obligations set out in this section 7 apply to Services that Company buys for
itself and in respect of Products it uses as an End Purchaser.

 

7.1                   Remote Services. By purchasing any Services
which are delivered remotely, Company:

 

(a)                     agrees that
Sun may access Products remotely at Customer’s site, and may process and store
Product data in order to remotely monitor, manage and service Products (all
such data will be treated by Sun as Company Confidential Information, except
that Company permits disclosure for the purposes of fulfilling this Agreement);

 

(b)         commits to procure and
maintain a Sun- approved bridge or gateway appropriate to the systems or
networks involved, at Company’s expense; and

 

10

 

(c)                    assumes
responsibility for all  telecommunications
and internet access charges related to the remote Services.

 

If Company fails to
permit or facilitate remote Services, Sun may decline to deliver such Services
and assess additional charges or other conditions for the delivery of Services
that would otherwise be provided remotely, or revoke any applicable warranties.

 

7.2      Systems Support

 

(a)                    Company Sites. Systems
support will be delivered to the Company’s sites and for the systems indicated
on the relevant Order Confirmation (respectively, “Company Sites” and “Covered
Systems”). Company will give Sun at least thirty (30) days’ written notice
prior to relocating Covered Systems, which notice must specify the new site.
Support of relocated systems is subject to local availability and may be
subject to additional fees, and to inspection and recertification of the
relocated systems at Sun’s applicable time and materials rates.

 

(b)                    Problem
Avoidance. Company will perform routine system preventative maintenance and
cleaning. Prior to requesting support from Sun, Company will comply with all
applicable operating and troubleshooting procedures, as posted on a Sun
knowledge database or as otherwise provided by Sun. If such efforts are
unsuccessful in eliminating the malfunction, Company will promptly notify Sun.
Company will establish and maintain a procedure external to Covered Systems so
that Company can reconstruct lost or altered files, data, or programs.

 

(c)                    Qualified Personnel. Requests for hardware
and software support may be made only by Company personnel who:

 

(i)                        possess
the necessary expertise and training (as from time to time defined by Sun) to
diagnose and resolve system and software malfunctions with direction by Sun;
and

 

(ii)                     are
designated as “Contacts” in accordance with the applicable Service Listing or
SOW.

 

(d)                    Additional
Systems. Company may add systems to an Accepted Order for a period
coterminous with the term of the Accepted Order at Sun’s applicable, pro-rated,
per-system fee, upon written notice to Sun and subject to Sun’s rights of
inspection. Sun will provide to Company an add-on Order Confirmation reflecting
the additional Covered Systems and associated additional fee.

 

(e)                    Eligible
Systems - Automatic Eligibility. Systems support is available only for
systems which are covered by a valid software license and are in good working
condition. Systems placed under an Accepted Order for systems support prior to
the expiration of:

 

(i)                        Sun’s
warranty; or

 

(ii)                     an existing
Sun support agreement, automatically will be deemed to be in good working
condition.

 

(f)                      Eligible Systems - Eligibility after Observation
Period. In respect of any system that does not qualify for support
under sub-section 7.3 (e), Sun may require that the system pass an inspection.
In that event, Sun may place such system under observation, and support
coverage will only commence after the system has operated for ninety (90)
consecutive days (the “Observation Period”) without experiencing a system
failure. Systems requiring support during the Observation Period will receive
such support on a time and materials basis.

 

(g)                   Eligible Systems - Other. In respect of any system that does
not qualify for support under sub-sections 7.3 (e) or (f), Sun reserves the
right to determine whether any problem occurring during the first ninety (90)
days of support coverage is attributable to a condition predating the
commencement of support coverage, and to bill Company at Sun’s applicable time
and materials rates to correct such problem and return such system to eligible
condition.

 

7.3      On-Site Materials

 

(a)                    Company will
segregate, safeguard and designate as the property of Sun all tools, parts,
spares, equipment and materials placed on a Company site and for which title is
not transferred to Company (“On-Site Materials”).

 

(b)                   On-Site
Materials may only be used by authorized persons consistent with the terms of
the applicable Service Listing or SOW. Company will have no right or interest
in the On-Site Materials, and will not grant any liens or security interests
therein. Company assumes all risk of loss or damage to On-Site Materials that
may occur prior to their return and receipt by Sun.

 

(c)                    Within ten
(10) days after termination or expiration of any Accepted Order, Company will
deliver to Sun any On-Site Materials related to such Accepted Order, with a
bill of lading, freight charges prepaid and fully

 

11

 

insured.

 

7.4      Non-Solicitation

 

(a)                    Without the
prior written consent of Sun, Company will not recruit any personnel assigned
by Sun to perform any Consulting Services for Company until one (1) year after
completion of the applicable Services.

 

(b)                   “Recruit” means
to initiate personal contact for the purposes of hiring, but does not include
responding to an unsolicited application, receiving unprompted responses to
advertisements, or receiving candidates who are, without Company involvement,
presented to Company by a recruiting firm.

 

(c)                    If Company
hires personnel in violation of this provision, Company immediately will pay
Sun liquidated damages in an amount equal to the hired employee’s total
compensation for the six (6) months preceding the date of hiring.

 

7.5                  Other
Obligations In Respect Of Services Purchased As An End Purchaser. Company
shall fulfill all applicable Company obligations under the Agreement, and
acknowledges that performance of this Agreement by Sun is conditional upon
Company’s fulfillment of such obligations; and that any additional services
that Sun provides as a result of Company’s failure to do so will be billed
separately, at Sun’s applicable time and materials rates. Company will
cooperate with Sun and will provide safe and timely access to its premises and
computer equipment, including remote access, adequate working space, facilities
and any other services, personnel, information or materials that Sun personnel
may reasonably require to perform Sun’s obligations.

 

7.6                  Limitations on
use of Service. Company acknowledges that for Services that are designated
as being solely for Company’s internal use, Company may not provide, lease, or
resell Services, directly or indirectly, to any third party, unless, and only
to the extent that, Company is authorized by Sun in writing to do so.

 

7.7                  Termination of Accepted Orders for Services under this
section. Without limiting the termination arrangements set out in
the Exhibit, the following additional provisions shall apply to termination of
this Exhibit and of Accepted Orders made under this Exhibit:

 

(a)                    Sun will
deliver to Company any Deliverables, whether finished or unfinished, subject to
receipt of payment for any Services rendered through the date of termination or
expiration; and

 

(b)                   where the
Exhibit has been terminated by Sun for cause, Company will destroy all copies
of Software.
