                                  AGREEMENT

         AGREEMENT by and between Solutia Inc., a Delaware corporation (the
"Company"), and Jonathon P. Wright (the "Executive"), dated as of the 1st
day of August, 2005 (the "Effective Date").

         The Board of Directors of the Company (the "Board") has determined
that it is in the best interests of the Company and its stakeholders to
assure that the Company will have the continued dedication of the Executive
until and for a period of time following the Emergence Date (as defined
below). To induce the Executive to continue to serve the Company through and
beyond the Emergence Date, the Company will provide the Executive with,
among other things, a special emergence bonus. It is the Board's judgment
that such a special emergence bonus arrangement is in the best interest of
the Company and its stakeholders, and is consistent with the desire of the
Board to maximize the value of the Company. Therefore, in order to
accomplish these objectives, the Board has caused the Company to enter into
this Agreement.

         NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

         1. Special Emergence Bonus.
            -----------------------

                  At such time, if ever (the "Emergence Date"), at which the
United States Bankruptcy Court for the Southern District of New York (the
"Bankruptcy Court") shall have confirmed a plan of reorganization of the
Company under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code (the "Chapter
11 Case") and such plan shall have become effective, if the Executive is
employed by the Company on the Emergence Date the Executive shall be
eligible to receive a special emergence bonus as follows:

                  (a) If the Executive is employed by the Company on the
six-month anniversary of the Emergence Date, or if, on or subsequent to the
Emergence Date but prior to the six-month anniversary thereof, Executive
shall have been terminated by the Company without Cause, shall have resigned
for Good Reason, or shall have died or been terminated for Disability, then
Executive shall be entitled to receive from the Company a special emergence
bonus of up to $1,500,000, being the maximum amount of the bonus pool
established hereunder for the Executive and which bonus shall be determined
pursuant to and in accordance with the performance measures and payment
terms of the Solutia Inc. Emergence Incentive Bonus Program in which the
Company's Chief Executive Officer participates.

                  (b) If the Executive shall voluntarily terminate his
employment other than for Good Reason or shall be terminated by the Company
for Cause, in either case between the Emergence Date and the six-month
anniversary thereof, then Executive shall forfeit any and all right to
receive a special emergence bonus hereunder.

         2. Employment Period. The Company hereby agrees to continue the
            -----------------
Executive in its employ, and the Executive hereby agrees to remain in the
employ of the Company subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement,
for the period (the "Employment Period") commencing on the Effective Date
and ending on the date that is the six month anniversary of the Emergence
Date. Where the context permits, all references to the Company shall include
an affiliate of the Company by which the Executive is employed. As used in
this Agreement, the term "affiliate"

or "affiliated companies" shall include any company controlled by,
controlling or under common control with the Company. The obligations of the
Company and the Executive under this Agreement including, without
limitation, the obligations under Sections 1, 5, 6 and 7, shall survive the
termination of the Employment Period to the extent necessary to accomplish
the purposes thereof.

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

                  (a) Death or Disability. The Executive's employment shall
                      -------------------
terminate automatically upon the Executive's death during the Employment
Period. If the Company determines in good faith that the Disability of the
Executive has occurred during the Employment Period (pursuant to the
definition of Disability set forth below), it may give to the Executive
written notice in accordance with Section 9(b) of this Agreement of its
intention to terminate the Executive's employment. In such event, the
Executive's employment with the Company shall terminate effective on the
30th day after receipt of such notice by the Executive (the "Disability
Effective Date"), provided that, within the 30 days after such receipt, the
Executive shall not have returned to full-time performance of the
Executive's duties. For purposes of this Agreement, "Disability" shall mean
the Executive's long term disability for purposes of any reasonable
occupation as determined under the Company's disability plan that is
applicable to the Executive.

                  (b) Cause. The Company may terminate the Executive's
                      -----
employment during the Employment Period for Cause. For purposes of this
Agreement, "Cause" shall mean:

                           (i) the willful and continued failure of the
         Executive to perform substantially the Executive's duties with the
         Company or one of its affiliates (other than any such failure
         resulting from incapacity due to physical or mental illness), after
         a written demand for substantial performance is delivered to the
         Executive by the Board of the Company which specifically identifies
         the manner in which the Board believes that the Executive has not
         substantially performed the Executive's duties,

                           (ii) the willful engaging by the Executive in
         illegal conduct or gross misconduct which is materially and
         demonstrably injurious to the Company;

                                     3

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

                           (iii) the Executive's conviction of, or plea of
         guilty or no contest to, a felony or any other crime involving
         moral turpitude, fraud, theft, embezzlement or dishonesty; or

                           (iv) the Executive's habitual drug or alcohol
         abuse.

For purposes of this provision, no act or failure to act, on the part of the
Executive, shall be considered "willful" unless it is done, or omitted to be
done, by the Executive in bad faith or without reasonable belief that the
Executive's action or omission was in the best interests of the Company. Any
act, or failure to act, based upon authority given pursuant to a resolution
duly adopted by the Board or based upon the advice of counsel for the
Company shall be conclusively presumed to be done, or omitted to be done, by
the Executive in good faith and in the best interests of the Company. The
cessation of employment of the Executive shall not be deemed to be for Cause
unless and until there shall have been delivered to the Executive a copy of
a resolution duly adopted by the affirmative vote of not less than a
majority of the entire membership of the Board at a meeting of the Board
called and held for such purpose (after reasonable notice is provided to the
Executive and the Executive is given an opportunity, together with counsel,
in the case of conduct described in subparagraph (i) or (ii) above, to be
heard before the Board), finding that, in the good faith opinion of the
Board, the Executive is guilty of the conduct described in subparagraph
(i),(ii), (iii) or (iv) above, and specifying the particulars thereof in
detail.

                  (c) Good Reason. The Executive's employment may be
                      -----------
terminated by the Executive for Good Reason. For purposes of this Agreement,
"Good Reason" shall mean:

                           (i) a material failure by the Company to comply
         with any of the provisions of Section 3(b) of this Agreement
         relating to compensation, other than an isolated, insubstantial and
         inadvertent failure not occurring in bad faith and which is
         remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice thereof
         given by the Executive;

                           (ii) the assignment to the Executive of any
         duties inconsistent in any respect with the Executive's position as
         Senior Vice President and President - Integrated Nylon and the
         authority, duties and responsibilities contemplated by Section 3(a)
         of this Agreement, or any other action by the Company which results
         in a material diminution in such position, authority, duties or
         responsibilities, excluding for this purpose an isolated,
         insubstantial and inadvertent action not taken in bad faith and
         which is remedied by the Company promptly after receipt of notice
         thereof given by the Executive; provided, that, a sale by the
         Company of subtantially all of its assets shall constitute a
         diminution in Executive's position, authority, duties and
         responsibilities for purposes of this Section 4(c)(ii);

                           (iii) the Company's requiring the Executive to be
         based at any office or location other than as provided in Section
         3(a)(i)(B) hereof or the Company's requiring the Executive to
         travel on Company business to a substantially greater extent than
         required immediately prior to the Effective Date; provided,
         however, that the requirement that Executive undertake such
         additional travel away from St. Louis, Missouri as is

                                     4

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

         reasonably required to enable him to fulfill his responsibilities
         in connection with the Chapter 11 case shall not constitute "Good
         Reason"; or

                           (iv) the failure of the Company and the Executive
         to enter into a new employment agreement by the last day of the
         Employment Period.

If the Executive terminates his employment for Good Reason pursuant to
subparagraph (ii) above as a result of a sale by the Company of
substantially all of its assets, then the Executive shall make himself
available to the Company as a paid independent consultant for such fee, at
such times, over such period of time and for such number of hours as the
parties shall reasonably agree, taking account of any new employment that
the Executive may undertake.

                  (d) Notice of Termination. Any termination by the Company
                      ---------------------
for Cause, or by the Executive for Good Reason, shall be communicated by
Notice of Termination to the other party hereto given in accordance with
Section 9(b) of this Agreement. For purposes of this Agreement, a "Notice of
Termination" means a written notice which (i) indicates the specific
termination provision in this Agreement relied upon, (ii) to the extent
applicable, sets forth in reasonable detail the facts and circumstances
claimed to provide a basis for termination of the Executive's employment
under the provision so indicated and (iii) if the Date of Termination (as
defined below) is other than the date of receipt of such notice, specifies
the termination date (which date shall be not more than thirty days after
the giving of such notice). The failure by the Executive or the Company to
set forth in the Notice of Termination any fact or circumstance which
contributes to a showing of Good Reason or Cause shall not waive any right
of the Executive or the Company, respectively, hereunder or preclude the
Executive or the Company, respectively, from asserting such fact or
circumstance in enforcing the Executive's or the Company's rights hereunder.

                  (e) Date of Termination. "Date of Termination" means (i)
                      -------------------
if the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company for Cause, or by
the Executive for Good Reason, the date of receipt of the Notice of
Termination or any later date specified therein, as the case may be, (ii) if
the Executive's employment is terminated by the Company other than for Cause
or Disability, the Date of Termination shall be the date on which the
Company notifies the Executive of such termination and (iii) if the
Executive's employment is terminated by reason of death or Disability, the
Date of Termination shall be the date of death of the Executive or the
Disability Effective Date, as the case may be.

         5. Obligations of the Company upon Termination.
            -------------------------------------------

                  (a) Good Reason; Other Than for Cause. If, during the
                      ---------------------------------
Employment Period, the Company shall terminate the Executive's employment

Reason:

                  as specified therein), the aggregate of the following

Accrued Obligations and the timely payment or provision of Other Benefits.
In such case, all Accrued Obligations shall be paid to the Executive in a
lump sum in cash within 30 days of the Date of Termination.

         6. Full Settlement; Legal Fees. The Company's obligation to make
            ---------------------------
the payments provided for in this Agreement and otherwise to perform its
obligations hereunder shall not be affected by any set-off, counterclaim,
recoupment, defense or other claim, right or action which the Company may
have against the Executive or others. In no event shall the Executive be
obligated to seek other employment or take any other action by way of
mitigation of the amounts

                                     7

<PAGE>

payable to the Executive under any of the provisions of this Agreement, and
such amounts shall not be reduced whether or not the Executive obtains other
employment. The Company agrees to pay, to the full extent permitted by law,
all legal fees and expenses which the Executive may reasonably incur as a
result of any contest, in which the Executive is the prevailing party, by
the Company, the Executive or others of the validity or enforceability of,
or liability under, any provision of this Agreement or any guarantee of
performance thereof (whether such contest is between the Company and the
Executive or between either of them and any third party, and including as a
result of any contest by the Executive about the amount of any payment
pursuant to this Agreement), plus in each case interest on any payment from
the time at which the liability for the applicable legal fees and expenses
was incurred by Executive, at the applicable Federal rate provided for in
Section 7872(f) (2)(A) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the
"Code").

         7. Confidential Information and Competitive Activity.
            -------------------------------------------------

                  (a) Confidential Information. As used herein,
                      ------------------------
"Confidential Information" means all technical and business information of
the Company and its affiliated companies, whether patentable or not, which
is of a confidential, trade secret and/or proprietary character and which is
either developed by the Executive (alone or with others) or to which the
Executive has had access during the Executive's employment. "Confidential
Information" shall also include confidential evaluations of, and the
confidential use or non-use by the Company or any affiliated company of,
technical or business information in the public domain.

         The Executive shall use the Executive's best efforts and diligence
both during and after employment by the Company to protect the confidential,
trade secret and/or proprietary character of all Confidential Information.
The Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, use (for the Executive or
another) or disclose any Confidential Information, for so long as it shall
remain proprietary or protectible as confidential or trade secret
information, except as may be necessary for the performance of the
Executive's duties with the Company.

         The Executive shall deliver promptly to the Company, at the
termination of the Executive's employment, or at any other time at the
Company's request, without retaining any copies, all documents and other
material in the Executive's possession relating, directly or indirectly, to
any Confidential Information.

         Each of the Executive's obligations in this Section shall also
apply to the confidential, trade secret and proprietary information learned
or acquired by the Executive during the Executive's employment from others
with whom the Company or any affiliated company has a business relationship.

         The Executive understands that the Executive is not to disclose to
the Company or any affiliated company, or use for its benefit, any of the
confidential, trade secret or proprietary information of others, including
any of the Executive's former employers.

                  (b) Competitive Activity; Nonsolicitation. In the event
                      -------------------------------------
that, during the Employment Period, Executive shall voluntarily terminate
his employment hereunder, be terminated by the Company without Cause, or
terminate his employment hereunder for Good

                                     8

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

Reason, then the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly (whether as
owner, partner, consultant, employee or otherwise), at any time during the
six months following termination of his employment with the Company or any
affiliate for any reason, engage in or contribute his knowledge to any work
or activity that involves a product, process, apparatus, service or
development which is then competitive with or similar to a product, process,
apparatus, service or development on which he worked or with respect to
which he had access to Confidential Information while employed by the
Company or an affiliate at any time during the period of five years
immediately prior to his Date of Termination ("Competitive Work"). However,
the Executive shall be permitted to engage in such proposed work or
activity, and the Company shall furnish him a written consent to that effect
signed by an officer of the Company, if the Executive shall have furnished
to the Company clear and convincing written evidence, including assurances
from the Executive and his new employer, that the fulfillment of his duties
in such proposed work or activity would not likely cause him to disclose,
base judgment upon, or use any Confidential Information. In addition, during
his employment by the Company or an affiliate and for a period of six months
thereafter, the Executive shall not, directly or indirectly, (i) induce or
attempt to induce a salaried employee of the Company or any of its
affiliates to accept employment or affiliation involving Competitive Work
with another firm or corporation of which the Executive is an employee,
owner, partner or consultant, or (ii) induce or attempt to induce any
customer, supplier, licensee or other person having a business relationship
with the Company to cease doing business with the Company or interfere
materially with the relationship between the Company and any such customer,
supplier, licensee or other person having a business relationship with the
Company.

                  (c) Injunctive Relief. Executive agrees that the
                      -----------------
restrictions imposed upon him by this Section 7 are fair and reasonable
considering the nature of the Company's business and are reasonably required
for the protection of the Company. Executive also acknowledges that a breach
of any of the provisions of this Section 7 may result in continuing and
irreparable damages to the Company for which there may be no adequate remedy
at law, and that the Company, in addition to all other relief available to
it, shall be entitled to the issuance of a temporary restraining order,
preliminary injunction and permanent injunction restraining the Executive
from committing or continuing to commit any breach of the provisions of this
Section 7.

                  (d) Blue Pencil. If, at any time, the provisions of this
                      -----------
Section 7 shall be determined to be invalid or unenforceable under any
applicable law, by reason of being vague or unreasonable as to area,
duration or scope of activity, this Agreement shall be considered divisible
and shall become and be immediately amended to only such area, duration and
scope of activity as shall be determined to be reasonable and enforceable by
the court or other body having jurisdiction over the matter and the
Executive and the Company agree that this Agreement as amended shall be
valid and binding as though any invalid or unenforceable provision had not
been included herein.

         8. Successors.
            ----------

                  (a) This Agreement is personal to the Executive and
without the prior written consent of the Company shall not be assignable by

binding upon the Company and its successors and assigns.

under this Agreement such Federal, state, local or foreign taxes as shall be
required to be withheld pursuant to any applicable law or regulation.

                  (e) The Executive's or the Company's failure to insist

provision or right or any other provision or right of this Agreement.

                  (f) This Agreement constitutes the entire agreement
between the parties with respect to the subject matter hereof and supersedes
all prior agreements, oral and written, between the parties hereto with
respect to the subject matter hereof. Further, this Agreement also
supersedes, without limitation, and any other prior employment agreement
between the Company and the Executive and the Executive waives all rights
with respect to such agreements, including, without limitation, any claims
for damages related to such agreements; provided, that this Agreement shall
have no effect on the Executive's rights under any plan, program, policy or
practice provided by the Company or any of its affiliated companies except
that the benefits and other payments provided for pursuant to Section 5

arbitral award shall be final and non-appealable and, except as otherwise
provided by Section 7(c), shall be the sole and exclusive remedy between the
parties hereunder. The parties agree that judgment on the arbitral award may

         10. Code Section 409A. Compliance. The arrangements under this
             -----------------------------
Agreement are not intended to create "deferred compensation" within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended
(the "Code") and any rulings or regulations thereunder, including IRS Notice
2005-1, and all provisions of this Agreement shall be interpreted
consistently with such intent. Further, in the event that (a) the Company
determines that there is an ambiguity with respect to any provision of this
Agreement that could cause such provision to result in an obligation to pay
deferred compensation subject to Section 409A of the Code, such ambiguity
shall be interpreted and resolved in the manner that the Company deems
necessary to either avoid the obligation to pay deferred compensation within
the meaning of Section 409A of the Code or to comply with timing and payment
provisions of Section 409A of the Code, and (b) the Company determines, in
good faith, that any amendment to this Agreement is necessary or appropriate
in order to comply with timing and payment provisions of Section 409A of the
Code or to avoid the obligation to pay deferred compensation within the
meaning of Section 409A of the Code, the Company shall have the right to
make such amendment, on a prospective or retroactive basis, in its sole
discretion.

         11. Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in separate
             ------------
counterparts, each of which is deemed to be an original and all of which
taken together constitute one and the same

                                     11

agreement and shall become effective when one or more counterparts have been
signed by each of the parties and delivered to the other party in original
or facsimile form.

                             WAIVER AND RELEASE

         Reference is made to that Agreement (the "Agreement"), dated as of
August 1, 2005, by and between Solutia, Inc., a Delaware Corporation (the
"Company"), and Jonathon P. Wright (the "Executive"). This Waiver and
Release (this "Waiver") is made as of the __ day of ____________, 200_, by
the Executive pursuant to Section 9(g) of the Agreement.

              Release and Waiver of Claims Against the Company
              ------------------------------------------------

         (a) The Executive, on behalf of himself, his agents, heirs,
successors, assigns, executors and administrators, in consideration for the
payments and other consideration provided for under the Agreement, hereby
forever releases and discharges the Company and its successors, their
affiliated entities, and their past and present directors, employees,
agents, attorneys, accountants, representatives, plan fiduciaries,
successors and assigns from any and all known and unknown causes of action,
actions, judgments, liens, indebtedness, damages, losses, claims,
liabilities, and demands of whatsoever kind and character in any manner
whatsoever arising on or prior to the date of this Waiver, including but not
limited to (i) any claim for breach of contract, breach of implied covenant,
breach of oral or written promise, wrongful termination, intentional
infliction of emotional distress, defamation, interference with contract
relations or prospective economic advantage, negligence, misrepresentation
or employment discrimination, and including without limitation alleged
violations of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as amended,
prohibiting discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex or national
origin; the Family and Medical Leave Act; the Americans With Disabilities
Act; the Age Discrimination in Employment Act; other federal, state and
local laws, ordinances and regulations; and any unemployment or workers'
compensation law, excepting only those obligations of the Company expressly
recited in the Agreement or this Waiver and any claims to benefits under the
Company's employee benefit plans as defined exclusively in written plan
documents; (ii) any and all liability that was or may have been alleged
against or imputed to the Company by the Executive or by anyone acting on
his behalf; (iii) all claims for wages, monetary or equitable relief,
employment or reemployment with the Company in any position, and any
punitive, compensatory or liquidated damages; and (iv) all rights to and
claims for attorneys' fees and costs except as otherwise provided herein or
in the Agreement.

         (b) The Executive shall not file or cause to be filed any action,
suit, claim, charge or proceeding with any federal, state or local court or
agency relating to any claim within the scope of this Waiver. In the event
there is presently pending any action, suit, claim, charge or proceeding
within the scope of this Waiver, or if such a proceeding is commenced in the
future, the Executive shall promptly withdraw it, with prejudice, to the
extent he has the power to do so. The Executive represents and warrants that
he has not assigned any claim released herein, or authorized any other
person to assert any claim on his behalf.

         (c) In the event any action, suit, claim, charge or proceeding
within the scope of this Waiver is brought by any government agency,
putative class representative or other third party to vindicate any alleged
rights of the Executive, (i) the Executive shall, except to the extent

                                     13

<PAGE>
<PAGE>

required or compelled by law, legal process or subpoena, refrain from
participating, testifying or producing documents therein, and (ii) all
damages, inclusive of attorneys' fees, if any, required to be paid to the
Executive by the Company as a consequence of such action, suit, claim,
charge or proceeding shall be repaid to the Company by the Executive within
ten (10) days of his receipt thereof.

         (d) In the event of a breach of this Waiver by the Executive, the
Company's obligations pursuant to the Agreement shall cease as of the date
of such breach. Furthermore, the Executive understands that his breach of
the provisions of this Waiver will cause monetary damages to the Company.
Thus, should the Executive breach the provisions of this Waiver, he shall be
required to pay the Company, as liquidated damages, the amount of the
consideration paid by the Company to the Executive pursuant to the Agreement
plus all costs and expenses, including all attorneys' fees and expenses,
that the Company incurs in enforcing this Waiver. The Executive agrees that
the foregoing amount of liquidated damages is reasonable and necessary, and
does not constitute a penalty.

Program (including all trademarks contained in the Program) to include in your
Solution, (b) market and distribute the Solution to Customers subject to
the terms of this Agreement, and (c) use the Programs to provide
maintenance and support.  You may also
provide the Solution via ASP Services. You may only market such Program to
Customers as part of your Solution and may not modify the Program or any
proprietary notices or trademarks contained in the Program without IBM’s prior
written consent.

 

2.3                       A restricted
license allows you, your distributors, and your Customers to use the Programs
only in conjunction with the Solution. The Transaction Document will specify
the Programs to which a restricted license applies.  If a restricted license applies to a Program,
you must distribute such Program under your license agreement and notify your
Customers that they may only use the Program as part of the Solution.

 

2.4                       If a
restricted license does not apply to a Program, you may distribute such Program
either under the terms of the IBM International Program License Agreement
(IPLA) or under your license agreement.

 

2.5                       For both
restricted and unrestricted licenses, your license agreement must restrict your
Customers to substantially the same terms as

 

2

 

the IPLA. You must include in your
Solution any additional licensed materials and Proof of Entitlement
Certificates we provide to you.

 

2.6                       You must
provide all support for your Value-Add Components. The Transaction Document
will specify each party’s respective responsibilities regarding support for the
Programs.

 

2.7                       IBM will
make available to you Maintenance Modifications released by IBM during the term
of the Transaction Document.  You agree
to incorporate Maintenance Modifications on all Programs as soon as
commercially reasonable.

 

2.8                       The
territory for this Agreement is worldwide (Territory) except where prohibited
by applicable laws. The Territory also excludes the following countries where
IBM has exclusive dealing arrangements: Abu Dhabi, Algeria, Bahrain, Belize,
Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Dubai, El Salvador, Guatemala, Haiti, Honduras,
Kuwait, Nicaragua, Oman, Panama, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and Tunisia.  We may 
change this list on 90 days advance written notice.

 

2.9                       You may use
distributors directly or indirectly to distribute the Solution to Customers in
the Territory. You will ensure that anyone you authorize to use or distribute
the Programs does so only in compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

 

2.10                 You may not
reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise translate the Program.

 

2.11                 IBM may
withdraw Programs either on a temporary or permanent basis.  If the withdrawal is based on an infringement
claim, or if IBM no longer has the rights for the Programs, you will suspend
further use and distribution of the Programs. For other withdrawals, you may
continue to use and distribute the Programs as provided under this Agreement.
However, support may not be available for withdrawn Programs.  IBM will provide support for the Programs for
three years from IBM’s general availability and will provide one years notice
prior to withdrawing  support from a
Program.

 

3.0                     PAYMENTS AND TAXES

 

3.1                       You agree to
pay IBM as described in the Transaction Document. If a purchase commitment is
specified in a Transaction Document, and you have not met such commitment by
the end of the term of such Transaction Document, IBM may invoice you for the
remaining balance.

 

3.2                       If you
accept a returned Solution from your Customer and refund the amount paid, you
may relicense it to another Customer without additional fee to IBM.

 

3.3                       If any
authority imposes a duty, tax, levy or fee, excluding those based on IBM’s net
income, upon the Program supplied by IBM under this Agreement, then you agree
to pay that amount or supply exemption documentation.

 

3.4                       For two
years, you will maintain relevant records to support payments made to IBM and
to show you have otherwise complied with the Agreement. Upon at least five days
advance written request from IBM, you will make such records available to IBM
or an independent auditor chosen and compensated by IBM. Such audits will be
conducted during normal business hours on your premises and will not occur more
than once each year. The auditor will sign a confidentiality agreement and will
only disclose to IBM any amounts due and payable for the period examined.  The auditor will follow such security and
other procedures as directed by you.  If
an audit discovers that you underpaid IBM, you will pay the amount due plus
interest from date payment was due.  The
interest rate is the lower of 2% per month or the highest interest rate allowed
by law.  If you have underpaid IBM by
more than 5%, you will also reimburse IBM for all expenses associated with the
audit.

 

3.5                       In order for
you to perform your responsibilities under this Agreement, you may license the
Programs for development, testing, demonstration, and support purposes, at the
prices specified in the Transaction Document. 
At any time during the course of this Agreement, or after its
expiration, you may license the Programs for internal use at prices and terms
negotiated between the parties. The terms of this Agreement shall not apply to
that transaction and IBM will not credit any payments under this Agreement
towards such license fees.

 

4.0                     WARRANTY AND INDEMNIFICATION

 

4.1                       IBM warrants
that when the Program is used in the specified operating environment it will
conform to its specifications.  IBM does
not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of the Program or that IBM
will correct all non-material Program defects. 
IBM is not responsible for the results obtained from the use of the
Program.

 

4.2                       IBM DOES NOT
WARRANT TO YOU THAT THE PROGRAMS OR YOUR SOLUTIONS WILL MEET THE REQUIREMENTS
OF YOU,

 

3

 

YOUR DISTRIBUTORS OR CUSTOMERS.  EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY PROVIDED IN THE
AGREEMENT, IBM PROVIDES THE PROGRAMS TO YOU “AS IS” WITHOUT WARRANTY.  IBM DISCLAIMS ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS
OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF NON INFRINGEMENT,
MERCHANTABILITY, AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

 

4.3                       If a third
party claims that a Program as furnished by IBM infringes a patent or
copyright, IBM will indemnify you against that claim at IBM’s expense. If an
infringement claim appears likely, or is made about a Program, you will let
IBM, a) modify or replace it with similar functionality, or b) obtain the
necessary rights for you to continue to exercise your license under this
Agreement.  If IBM concludes that neither
of these alternatives is reasonably available, you will return or destroy the
Programs in your possession on IBM’s written request. IBM will have no
obligation to indemnify you for any claim based on 1) third-party code,
including but not limited to, Open Source Code, or 2) your modification of the
Program, or 3) the combination, operation, or use of the Program with any
product, data, or apparatus that IBM did not provide.

 

4.4                       If a third
party makes a claim against IBM based on your representations not authorized by
IBM or based on your breach under this Agreement, you will indemnify IBM
against that claim at your expense.

 

4.5                       The
indemnifying party will pay any settlement amounts it authorizes and all costs,
damages and reasonable attorneys’ fees that a court finally awards if the other
party a) promptly provides the indemnifying party with written notice of the
claim, and b) allows the indemnifying party to control, and cooperates with it
in, the defense of the claim and settlement negotiations. The indemnifying
party will not agree to any settlement that materially prejudices the other
party.  The other party may participate
in the proceedings at its option and expense.

 

5.0                     LIMITATION OF LIABILITY

 

5.1                       Circumstances
may arise where, because of a breach or other liability, one party may recover
damages from the other.  For all claims
brought under this Agreement, regardless of the basis on which the claim is
made (including fundamental breach, negligence, misrepresentation, or other contract
or tort claim), each party will only be liable for 1) damages for bodily injury
(including death) and damage to real property and tangible personal property
and 2) the amount of any other actual direct damages up to the greater of US
$500,000 or the payments made to IBM for the Program that is the subject of the
claim.  This Limitation of Liability
shall not apply to any amounts due IBM under this Agreement, or to any claim
based on the Indemnification section, or to any breach of either party’s intellectual
property rights.

 

5.2                       Under this
Agreement, neither party will be liable for any special, incidental, or
indirect damages or for any economic consequential damages (including lost
profits or savings), even if it has been advised of the possibility of such
damages.  IBM is not responsible for
damages arising from or related to the use of the Programs outside of the
Territory.

 

6.0                     TERM AND TERMINATION

 

6.1                       This
Agreement and your license rights granted under it remain in effect as long as
there is a valid Transaction Document. 
We may add additional Transaction Documents as mutually agreed.  Termination or expiration of the Agreement or
any Transaction Document does not affect previously granted paid-up licenses to
Customers or any licenses granted to you under any other Agreements.

 

6.2                       IBM may
terminate this Agreement and any Transaction Document on written notice if you
market Programs not in connection with the Solution or if you violate IBM’s
intellectual property rights and fail to cure such breach within seven business
days after receipt of written notice from IBM demanding its cure and
identifying the breach.  If you market
Programs separately from the Solution, as IBM’s sole remedy, you agree to pay
IBM the difference between the price you paid IBM for the Programs and our
suggested retail price for the Programs. 
IBM may have other remedies under the law and the Agreement.

 

6.3                       Either party
may terminate this Agreement or a Transaction Document on 60 days’ written
notice if the other party fails to comply with a material term of this
Agreement or a Transaction Document, unless such failure is cured within the 60
day notice period.

 

6.4                       You may
terminate this Agreement, without cause on 90 days written notice.

 

6.5                       Upon
termination or expiration, you must return all copies of the Programs to IBM,
except that you may keep one copy for archival, litigation, audit, dispute
resolution,  and support purposes. Any
terms of this

 

4

 

Agreement
which by their nature extend beyond the Agreement termination or expiration
remain in effect until fulfilled.

 

7.0                     GENERAL

 

7.1                       Each party
is an independent contractor. Neither party is, nor will claim to be, a legal
representative, partner, franchisee, agent or employee of the other, except as
specifically stated in this Agreement. 
Neither party will assume or create obligations for the other.  Except as provided in the Indemnification Section above,
each party shall pay (without reimbursement) its own legal fees and expenses
incurred in any dispute.

 

7.2                       Each party
may have similar agreements with others and may design, develop, manufacture,
acquire or market products and services that are competitive with the
other.  You will independently establish
prices and terms for the Solution, provided your terms include those required
by this Agreement.

 

7.3                       Each party
agrees to comply with all applicable laws and regulations including export
laws.

 

7.4                       Each party
will identify coordinators who will represent us for various aspects of this
Agreement and will notify the other party if the coordinators change.

 

7.5                       Both parties
will act in good faith to resolve disputes. Neither party will bring a legal
action under this Agreement more than two years after the cause of action arose.
Each party waives its right to a jury trial in any resulting litigation.

 

7.6                       Except as
expressly stated herein, this Agreement does not grant you any rights in any
IBM patents, copyrights, trademarks, trade names, or service marks.

 

7.7                       Neither party
is responsible for failure to fulfill any obligations due to causes beyond its
control.

 

7.8                       Except to
the extent provided herein, you may not assign or transfer the Agreement or
your rights under it or delegate or subcontract your obligations without IBM’s
prior written approval, except to a parent or subsidiary, or to a successor
organization by merger, consolidation or a sale of substantially all the assets
or an operating division.   Any other
attempt to do so is void.  This Agreement
shall be binding upon and shall inure to the benefit of the parties and their
respective successors, assigns and trustees

 

7.9                       You agree to
allow International Business Machines Corporation and its subsidiaries to store
and use your business contact information, including names, business phone
numbers, and business e-mail addresses, anywhere they do business.  Such information will be processed and used
only in connection with our business relationship, and may be provided to
contractors acting on IBM’s behalf, IBM business partners who promote, market
and support certain IBM products and services, and assignees of International
Business Machines Corporation and its subsidiaries for uses consistent with our
business relationship.

 

7.10                 All
information exchanged is non-confidential. 
Where confidential information must be exchanged, it will be done under
a signed confidentiality agreement. 
However, you will not disclose the terms of the Agreement to a third
party except a) to your accountants, lawyers or other professional advisors
under a confidentiality agreement or b) as required by law, provided you get
all available confidential treatment for them.

 

7.11                 The laws of
the state of New York govern this Agreement. The “United Nations Convention on
International Sale of Goods” does not apply.

 

7.12                 In case of
conflict, terms of the Transaction Document prevail over terms of the Base
Agreement.

5. Maintenance and Support Services

 

An initial 12-month
term of Maintenance is included for each license you distribute under this
Transaction Document.  The effective date
for Maintenance for a license will commence on the date IBM accepts your
purchase order for such license.  You may
renew Maintenance for each license for an additional consecutive 12-month
term for the Maintenance Renewal payment described in Section 1. For
licenses on which you have not continually renewed Maintenance, you may acquire
a 12-month term of Maintenance for the Maintenance Reinstatement payment
described in Section 1. You may acquire Maintenance Renewal or Maintenance
Reinstatement only in support of licenses that you sold to Customers as part of
the Solution. You are responsible for documenting and tracking the effective
date and renewal date for each Maintenance term for your Customers.

 

For each Program license
with Maintenance in effect, subject to section 2.11 in the Base

a)              Make
available to you and authorize you to upgrade to the most current, commercially
available version, release, or update, should any be made available;

b)             provide
you with assistance for your code related questions; and

c)              provide
assistance via telephone and, if available, electronic access, only to your

use of Programs in other than their specified operating environment, or 3)
failures caused by products for which IBM is not responsible under this
Agreement.

 

IBM warrants that it provides
Maintenance using reasonable care and skill. This warranty  is your exclusive warranty regarding
Maintenance, and replaces all other warranties or conditions, express or
implied, including, but not limited to, the implied warranties or conditions of
merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose.

 

If IBM withdraws
Maintenance for a particular Program license, you understand that:

1)              IBM
will not make Maintenance renewal available for that Program; and

2)              if
you renewed Maintenance for that Program license prior to the notice, IBM, at
its sole discretion, will either continue to provide Software Maintenance to
you for that Program license until the end of the then current coverage period
or give you a prorated refund.

during the term of this Agreement, a royalty-free, non-exclusive right and
license to: (a) use, translate, reproduce, execute, perform, market and
display in tangible or electronic form all, or any portion of  its Products or programs under this

Lawson acknowledges that licensees of the Products or of other software
programs licensed by Lawson (“Other Programs”) may retain IBM to perform
services on their behalf, including but not limited to system integration
services, hosting services, outsourcing services and other services that may
require or be facilitated by IBM having access to the Products (“IT Services”).  Notwithstanding any other provision of this
Agreement or of any license agreement, when IBM provides IT Services to a
licensee of the Products, and during the term of any IT Services Agreement
between IBM and the licensee, Lawson will permit IBM to access, use, transfer
to like-configured computer and/or take assignment of the licensee’s license to
such Products solely on behalf of the licensee, without IBM or the licensee
being required to acquire additional licenses or to incur additional fees. This
provision may not apply to third party products licensed directly or indirectly

4.5 Either party may perform any of its
rights, licenses and obligations under this Agreement through subsidiaries,
subcontractors, and other companies affiliated with IBM or Lawson, such as IBM
Business Partners and Lawson Business Partners.

any  such entities any ownership to any
of the copyright rights in the Products.

 

5. Limitation of Liability

 

Neither party shall be liable to the other for
any economic consequential damages (including lost profits or savings) or
incidental damages under this Agreement, even if advised that they may
occur.  Other than for  breach of confidentiality or for bodily injury
or direct damage to real or tangible personal property to the extent caused by
a party’s negligence, each party’s aggregate and cumulative liability for
damages to the other party will be limited to $100,000.00.

 

6. Term and Termination

 

6.1

30 days’ written notice if the other materially breaches its obligations and
fails to cure such breach within the 30 day notice period; provided, however,
that no termination of this Agreement shall be effective unless the parties
have participated in the meetings set forth in Section 9.4 below.  Inasmuch as this relationship is predicated
on the successful and timely Optimization of the Products, Lawson’s failure to
accomplish this as set forth in this Agreement shall constitute a material
breach for which IBM may terminate as set forth above.

terms of this Agreement which by their nature extend beyond the day this
Agreement ends remain in effect until fulfilled, and apply to respective
successors and assignees.

 

7. Information

presentations that identify existing business partners.   Each party agrees not to issue press
releases or other publicity regarding this Agreement or the relationship under
it without the other’s prior written approval.

 

8. Privacy

 

Both parties have the right to store contact
information on each other’s employees such as names, phone numbers and e-mail
addresses in any country where we do business. Each of us may use such
information to fulfill our respective obligations under this Agreement, subject
to any signed confidentiality agreement between us.

 

9. General

 

9.1
Except as expressly stated herein, this Agreement does not grant either party
any rights in any trademarks, patents, copyrights, trade names, service marks,
or other intellectual property of the other. Neither party will make any
unauthorized representations or warranties concerning the other party’s
products or services and will not be responsible for claims based on the other
party’s products or services.

 

9.2
This is a non-exclusive relationship. 
Each party may have similar agreements with others and may independently
develop, acquire, and market materials, equipment, or programs that may be

services.  Each party is responsible for
its own costs, including all business, travel and living expenses incurred by
the performance of this Agreement except as specifically stated in this
Agreement and its Attachment(s).

5

 

9.4 All
disputes with respect to the terms, operation, funding, or interpretation of
this Agreement and any performance concerns, shall be documented in writing and
escalated through the appropriate levels of management of each party, up to and
including the level of vice president whom will meet promptly in person or by
telephone, until resolution of the issue is achieved or the respective vice
presidents cannot agree to a resolution of the dispute.  If the respective vice presidents cannot
agree, the final resolution of the issue will rest with the appropriate IBM
General Manager(s) and a Lawson Senior Executive whom will meet promptly in
person or by telephone to review and attempt to resolve the dispute in good
faith.

 

9.5 Each
party may only assign this Agreement to a subsidiary or in connection with a
reorganization or the sale of all or a substantial portion of its or its
applicable operating division’s business. 
Any other attempted assignment is void. 
Notwithstanding any other term herein, either party may terminate this
Agreement on thirty (30) days written notice to the other party in the event
such other party acquires or is acquired by an entity the other party deems a
competitor or assigns this Agreement in connection with the sale of all or a
substantial portion of its business to an entity the non-assigning party deems
a competitor.

 

9.6
Neither party will bring a legal action against the other more than two years
after the cause of action arose.  Each
party waives a jury trial in any dispute. 
Each party shall pay (without reimbursement) its own legal fees and
expenses incurred in any dispute. 
Failure by either party to demand strict performance or to exercise a
right does not prevent either party from doing so later.

 

9.7
The parties are independent contractors. 
Personnel supplied by either party are not for any purpose considered
employees or agents of the other party. 
Each party assumes full responsibility for the actions of its personnel
while performing its obligations under this Agreement and is solely responsible
for their direction and compensation. This Agreement does not create any
obligations for the parties in any way limiting or restricting the assignment
of its respective employees.

expense. This includes all export and import laws and regulations.
