limitation, federal, state and local sales, use, value added and personal
property taxes. Any claimed exemption from such tariffs, duties or taxes must be

         5.4      PROPRIETARY INFORMATION AND NON-DISCLOSURE.

                  (a) SMS retains ownership of all intellectual property rights
(including but not limited to patents, copyrights, trademarks, service marks,
logos or trade names) in and relating to the Products. The Products, the
Documentation and all other proprietary information provided by SMS to
Distributor hereunder contain and constitute trade secrets, information and data
proprietary to and copyrighted by SMS. Neither Distributor or its employees
shall cause or allow such information or data to be disclosed to third parties
or duplicated except as expressly permitted in this Agreement. Any
customizations, enhancements, improvements, translations, derivative works or
other modifications of the Products made by Distributor shall belong to SMS and
SMS shall have all right, title and intellectual property interest in and to
such work. SMS shall have no obligation to support any customizations,
extensions or other modifications made to the Products by any third party unless
otherwise agreed to by SMS in writing.

                  (b) Distributor acknowledges and agrees that the unauthorized
disclosure, use or copying of the Products may cause SMS serious financial loss.
Accordingly, in the event of any unauthorized disclosure, use or copying of the
Products, Distributor agrees that SMS shall have the right to obtain injunctive
or other equitable relief without the posting of any bond in addition to any
other damages.

                  (c) Distributor may use the trademarks, trade names, service
marks and logos that relate to SMS or the Product (the "Marks") solely in
connection with this Agreement; provided that Distributor clearly identifies
SMS's ownership of such Marks. The Marks remain the exclusive property of SMS
and Distributor will not register the Marks or take any action that jeopardizes
SMS's proprietary rights in the Marks. Distributor agrees to cooperate with
SMS's instructions and quality control procedures relating to the Marks and
shall only use the Marks in unaltered form. SMS reserves the right to require
Distributor to discontinue use of any advertising or marketing materials
relating to SMS, the Marks or the Products.

         5.5      LIMITED WARRANTY.

                  (a) SMS warrants the Products as set forth in the Commercial
Terms. If it is determined that the Products do not perform as warranted, SMS's
only responsibility will be to use reasonable efforts, consistent with industry
standards, to cure the defect. THIS WARRANTY IS IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES.
TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, ALL OTHER WARRANTIES,
CONDITIONS AND REPRESENTATIONS, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, VERBAL, STATUTORY OR
OTHERWISE, AND WHETHER ARISING UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE ARE HEREBY
EXCLUDED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. SMS SHALL NOT BE BOUND BY
OR LIABLE FOR ANY REPRESENTATIONS OR WARRANTIES, WHETHER WRITTEN OR ORAL, WITH
RESPECT TO THE PRODUCTS MADE BY DISTRIBUTOR OR ITS AGENTS, EMPLOYEES OR
REPRESENTATIVES.

                  (b) Except for the Indemnification set forth below in Section
5.6(a), SMS's maximum liability for damages under this Agreement (regardless of
the form of action, whether in contract or tort) shall not exceed the amount
paid by Distributor to SMS for the Products or services as to which the claim
relates.

                  (c) IN NO EVENT SHALL SMS BE LIABLE TO DISTRIBUTOR OR ANY
OTHER PARTY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT OR TORT, FOR ANY INCIDENTAL, INDIRECT, SPECIAL,
PUNITIVE, EXEMPLARY OR CONSEQUENTIAL LOSS OR DAMAGES (INCLUDING, WITHOUT
LIMITATION, LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE OR DAMAGE TO ANY SURFACE TO WHICH THE
PRODUCTS ARE APPLIED), THAT MAY ARISE FROM THE USE, OPERATION OR MODIFICATION OF
THE PRODUCT, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH LOSS OR DAMAGES BEING
INCURRED.

         5.6      INDEMNIFICATION.

                  (a) SMS, at its expense, shall defend any action brought
against Distributor to the extent that it is based on a claim that any Product
infringes a third party's copyright or a patent duly issued by the United States
of America. SMS shall pay all damages and costs finally awarded against
Distributor in such action, provided that SMS is notified in writing of the
existence of such claim against Distributor within seven (7) days of
Distributor's first learning of the same; and provided that SMS is given full
authority to control the defense, costs and settlement of the claim and that SMS
receives reasonable cooperation and assistance from Distributor. SMS will not be
obligated to defend or otherwise indemnify Distributor in any lawsuit or as to
any claim which arises from or relates to any combination of the Product with
another product not supplied by SMS, or if such claim is based upon a use of the
Product for a purpose for which it was not designed or if the Product has been
modified by any party other than SMS. In lieu of the foregoing indemnification
obligations, SMS shall have the option, at its expense, either to procure for an
End User the right to continue using the Product or to replace or modify the
Product so that it is no longer infringing, or, if such options are not
reasonably available, to refund to Distributor the amount actually paid by
Distributor to SMS for the Product. The foregoing states the entire obligation
of SMS with respect to the infringement of intellectual property rights of any
third party.

                  (b) Distributor shall indemnify and hold SMS harmless from and
against all claims, judgments, awards, costs, expenses, damages and liabilities
(including reasonable attorneys' fees) of whatsoever kind and nature that may be
asserted, granted or imposed against SMS directly or indirectly arising from or
in connection with (i) any claims that any services or products supplied by
Distributor other than any unmodified Products provided by SMS infringes any
third party intellectual property rights; (ii) any misrepresentation made by
Distributor regarding SMS or the Products; and (iii) any warranty, condition,
representation, guarantee or indemnity granted by Distributor with respect to
the Products in addition to the limited warranty specified in the Section 5.5 of
this Agreement titled "Limited Warranty."

         5.7      DEFAULT AND TERMINATION.

                  (a) If this Agreement expires or is terminated by either
         party, for any reason, Distributor will immediately pay all sums due
         and owing to SMS.

                  (b) Either party may terminate this Agreement,  with or
         without cause, on thirty (30) days written notice to the other party.

                  (c) If Distributor fails to pay any sum of money due and owing
         under this Agreement within ten (10) days of written notice thereof
         from SMS, SMS shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without
         further notice to Distributor. If either party breaches any of the
         terms, conditions or provisions of this Agreement, and fails to cure
         such breach within thirty (30) days after written notice thereof, the
         other party shall have the right to terminate this Agreement without
         any further notice.

                  (d) This Agreement may be immediately terminated by SMS if:
         (i) Distributor violates any of the conditions of Section 5.4; (ii)
         Distributor shall cease business, file for bankruptcy, be adjudged
         bankrupt or insolvent or commit any other act of bankruptcy; (iii)
         there is a sale or transfer, whether by operation of law or otherwise,
         of the direct or indirect control of Distributor; or (iv) there is an
         attempt by Distributor to assign this Agreement or any right or
         obligation hereunder without SMS's prior written consent.

                  (e) In the event of a party's uncured breach of this
         Agreement, the non-breaching party may, in addition to the right to
         withhold its performance under and/or terminate this Agreement, avail
         itself of all other rights, remedies and causes of action available at
         law, in equity or otherwise, against such party for damages as a result
         of such breach. Unless otherwise provided in this Agreement, remedies
         shall be cumulative and there shall be no obligation to exercise a
         particular remedy.

                  (f) Except as set forth below in Section 5.7 (g), upon
         expiration or termination of this Agreement, Distributor shall
         immediately return to SMS, at Distributor's expense, all Products not
         fully paid for by the Distributor, all demonstration copies of the
         Product, all Documentation and all Product brochures, marketing
         collateral and materials, together with a certified statement by a duly
         authorized officer of Distributor stating that all such Demonstration
         Products and materials and any other confidential information of SMS
         have been returned to SMS.

                  (g) In the event of any termination of this Agreement (other
         than termination by SMS under Sections 5.7 (c) or (d) above),
         Distributor shall be entitled to distribute, for a period not to exceed
         ninety (90) days, any Products already paid for and held in its
         inventory as of the termination date, subject to its continuing
         compliance with all terms of this Agreement, including, but not limited
         to, the requirements of Section 3.

                  (h) Any expiration or termination of this Agreement shall not
         prejudice, limit or restrict any other rights or remedies either party
         may have arising prior to such expiration or termination. SMS shall be
         under no obligation to refund any amounts paid to SMS by Distributor
         for any undistributed Products held by Distributor upon any expiration
         or termination of this Agreement.

                  (i)      In addition to this Section 5.7, Sections 5.4, 5.5,
         5.6 and 5.8 shall survive termination of this Agreement.

         5.8      MISCELLANEOUS.

                  (a) The laws of the State of Florida without reference to
         principles of conflict of laws shall govern the construction and
         enforceability of this Agreement. The parties agree that any action
         arising under or relating to this Agreement or the Products shall lie
         within the exclusive jurisdiction of the State and Federal Courts
         located in Sarasota County, Florida. Distributor consents to the
         exercise of jurisdiction by any such court and agrees that process may
         be served on Distributor in any such action by mailing same to
         Distributor at the address set forth above. If either party is
         compelled to seek judicial enforcement of its rights under this
         Agreement, the prevailing party in any such action shall be entitled to
         recover its costs incurred in such action, including reasonable
         attorneys' fees.

                  (b) Each provision of this Agreement is severable from the
         entire Agreement, and in the event that any provision is declared
         invalid or unenforceable, that provision shall be amended if possible
         to be enforceable, but in any event, the remaining provisions hereof
         shall remain in effect.

                  (c) All notices and demands of any kind or nature which any
         party to this Agreement may be required or may desire to serve upon any
         other in connection with this Agreement shall be in writing and may be
         served personally or by prepaid certified mail (return receipt
         requested) or by private mail service (e.g., Federal Express) if a
         confirmation of delivery is obtained, in either case to the addresses
         shown on page 1 of this Agreement. Any party hereto may from time to
         time, by notice in writing served upon the other parties as aforesaid,
         designate a different mailing address or a different person to which
         following such service all further notices or demands are thereafter to
         be addressed.

                  (d) The parties shall be deemed for all purposes to be
         independent contractors. This Agreement shall not constitute either
         party the employee, legal representative or agent of the other, nor
         shall either party have the right or authority to assume, create, or
         incur any liability or any obligation of any kind, express or implied,
         against or in the name of or on behalf of the other party.

                  (e) No waiver by either party of any default shall operate as
         a waiver of any other default or of a similar default on a future
         occasion. No waiver of any term or condition shall be effective unless
         in writing and signed by the party against whom enforcement of the
         waiver is sought. Neither party shall be responsible for any failure to
         perform any obligation hereunder (except a failure to pay) due to
         causes beyond its reasonable control.

                  (f) Neither party shall be held responsible for any reasonable
         delay or failure in performance hereunder caused by fires, strikes,
         embargoes, acts of nature, or other causes beyond their reasonable
         control.

                  (g) This Agreement (including any attached Exhibits and
         subsequently executed Commercial Terms Schedules referencing this
         document) is the complete and exclusive statement of the understanding
         between the parties and supersedes all prior agreements and
         representations between them relating to the subject matter of this
         Agreement. The following order of precedence shall control in the event
         of a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and
         the terms and conditions of any Commercial Terms Schedule: (i) the
         Commercial Terms Schedule for the applicable Product; and (ii) the
         terms of this Agreement. Amendments to this Agreement shall not be
         effective unless they are in writing and signed by authorized
         representatives of both parties. Distributor may not assign this
         Agreement or any of its rights hereunder by operation of law or
         otherwise.

         IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the undersigned authorized representatives of the
parties have affixed their signatures as of the Effective Date.
