or trade secret, or (ii) result in or amount to a license
under any patents, copyrights or trademarks, of the
disclosing party.

5.1 No Infringement. Licensor represents and warrants
to Licensee that it has the full legal right to license the
Source Code in accordance with this Agreement and that

5.2 No Disabling Codes. Licensor represents and
warrants that the Source Code and the media used to
distribute it will, at the time and form of delivery by

instructions that may disrupt, damage, or interfere with
Licensee's use of its computer and/or telecommunication
facilities for their commercial purposes, and (ii) devices
that are capable of automatically or remotely stopping the
Source Code from operating (e.g., passwords, fuses, and

warrants that: (a) it has full power and authority to
execute, deliver and perform its obligations under this
Agreement; (b) there are no actions, proceedings or
investigations, pending or, to the best of its knowledge,
threatened against Licensor which may in any manner
whatsoever materially affect the enforceability of this
Agreement or the rights, duties and obligations hereunder;

Agreement will not constitute a breach or default under any
agreement, law or court order under which Licensor is a
party or may be bound or affected by or which may affect

5.2 Limitation of Liability. NEITHER PARTY SHALL HAVE
ANY LIABILITY UNDER THIS AGREEMENT OR OTHERWISE FOR
CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR PUNITIVE

AGGREGATE, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION, TO BREACH OF
CONTRACT, BREACH OF WARRANTY, NEGLIGENCE, STRICT LIABILITY,
MISREPRESENTATION, AND OTHER TORTS. BOTH PARTIES
UNDERSTAND AND AGREE THAT THE REMEDIES AND LIMITATIONS
HEREIN ALLOCATE THE RISKS OF PRODUCT AND SERVICE
NONCONFORMITY BETWEEN THE PARTIES AS AUTHORIZED BY THE
UNIFORM COMMERCIAL CODE AND OF OTHER APPLICABLE LAWS.
6. INDEMNIFICATIONS
6.1 Licensee Indemnification. Licensee shall defend,
indemnify and hold harmless Licensor from and against any
claims, demands, causes of action, expenses, damages,
losses, costs, fees, royalties, or penalties (including
reasonable attorneys' fees) (collectively, "Claims") to the
extent any such Claim arises out of Licensee's breach of
any representation, warranty or obligation under this
Agreement. Licensee may, at its sole option, conduct the
defense in any such third party action arising as described
herein and Licensee promises fully to cooperate with such
defense at Licensor's expense. This provision shall survive
any expiration or termination of this Agreement.
7. CONFIDENTIALITY
7.1 Licensor Proprietary Information. Licensee agrees
and acknowledges that it will be exposed to the Source Code
and that the Source Code contains valuable trade secrets of
Licensor embodying substantial creative efforts and
confidential information, ideas and expressions ("Licensor
Proprietary Information"). All Licensor Proprietary
Information and any related intellectual property therein
or represented thereby will remain the sole property of
Licensor and Licensee will have no interest in or rights to
such Licensor Proprietary Information except as expressly
granted by this Agreement.
7.2 Licensee Proprietary Information. Licensor agrees
and acknowledges that it may be exposed to the
Modifications or information concerning Licensee's
businesses, products, proposed products, plans, strategies,
customers and related information, including without
limitation, customer data, testing procedures and pricing
policies, along with the record-bearing media containing
such information, all of which may constitute confidential
and proprietary information of Licensee ("Licensee
Proprietary Information") and that the License Proprietary
Information is a source of independent economic value,
actual or potential. All Licensee Proprietary Information
will remain the sole property of Licensee except as
otherwise expressly set forth in this Agreement.
7.3 Non-Disclosure. Licensor and Licensee agree to
maintain the Licensee Proprietary Information and the
Licensor Proprietary Information (collectively, the
"Proprietary Information") in strict confidence and that it
will use reasonable commercial efforts (at least the same
measure of care used to protect its own confidential and
proprietary information) to protect the other party's
Confidential Information. Neither party shall disclose the
Source Code to any third party without (a) the prior
express written consent of the other party to this
Agreement, which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld, and (b) the prior execution by such third party
of an agreement to maintain the confidentiality of the
Source Code. Without limiting the generality of the
foregoing, Licensor and Licensee each agree:
(a) Not to disclose or permit any other person or
entity access to the Proprietary Information, except that
such disclosure or access shall be permitted to an
employee, agent, representative or independent contractor
of either party requiring access to the same in the course
of his or her employment or services; provided that such
employee, agent, representative or independent contractor
has previously entered into a written confidentiality
Agreement including terms as least as restrictive as those
contained herein;
(b) To ensure that its employees, agents,
representatives and independent contractors are advised of
the confidential nature of the Proprietary Information, and
are precluded from taking any action prohibited under this
Section; and
(c) Not to alter or remove any identification,
copyright or proprietary rights notice which indicates the
ownership of any part of the Proprietary Information.
7.4 Exclusions. Nothing in this Section shall restrict
either party with respect to information or data identical
or similar to that contained in the Proprietary Information
which a party can demonstrate (a) that a party rightfully
possessed before it received such information from the
other as evidenced by written documentation; (b)
subsequently becomes publicly available through no fault of
that party; (c) is subsequently furnished to that party by
a third party which party is not under restriction on use
or disclosure; (d) is required to be disclosed by law,
provided that the disclosing party will exercise reasonable
efforts to obtain a protective order or other reliable
assurance that confidential treatment will be accorded to
the Proprietary Information; or (e) was independently
developed by either party as evidenced by written
documentation.
7.5 Notification of Licensor. If Licensee becomes
aware of any act by any of its officers, directors,
employees, agents or representatives which is in violation
of any of the terms of this Agreement, including but not
limited to, the use, disclosure, or copying of the Software
or any portion thereof, Licensee shall notify Licensor
immediately and, in cooperation with Licensor, shall take
all steps necessary to remedy any actual or threatened
noncompliance to the reasonable satisfaction of Licensor.
This provision shall not in any way limit any of the
remedies otherwise available to Licensor for breach of this
Agreement, or limit Licensee's liability for failing to
comply with the provisions of this Agreement.
8. REMEDIES
8.1 Nonexclusive Remedy. Except as otherwise provided
herein, no remedy made available to either party hereto by
any of the provisions of this Agreement is intended to be
exclusive of any other remedy and each and every remedy
shall be cumulative and shall be in addition to every other
remedy given hereunder or existing at law or in equity.
8.2 Breach. The parties acknowledge that a breach of
this Agreement through disclosure or misuse of Confidential
Information will have an irreparable, material and adverse
effect upon the party owning such information and that
damages arising from any such breach may be difficult to
ascertain. In the event of a breach of the confidentiality
obligation of Section 7 of this Agreement, the
non-breaching party shall have the right to seek an
immediate injunction enjoining the breach as determined by
a court of competent jurisdiction.
8.3 Action Prior to Commencing Suit. If a disagreement
arises between the parties, each party agrees that, prior
to sending a formal demand letter or filing a lawsuit, each
party will act in good faith and will designate an officer
to be responsible for resolving the dispute by agreement.
Unreasonable delay on the part of an officer to respond to
the other party will indicate that agreement is not
achievable.
8.4 Bankruptcy. All rights and licenses granted under
or pursuant to this Agreement by Licensor to Licensee are
and shall be deemed to be, for purposes of Section 365(n)
of the Bankruptcy Code, licenses of rights to "intellectual
property" as defined under Section 101(35A) of the
Bankruptcy Code. Licensee, as a licensee of such rights
under this Agreement, shall retain and may fully exercise
all of its rights and elections under the Bankruptcy Code.
9. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
9.1 Condition Precedent. If a claim or controversy
between the parties is not resolved for any reason, the
authorized representatives of Licensor and Licensee shall
meet within 30 days thereafter to review and discuss such
claim or controversy and attempt, in good faith, to settle
or resolve the matter. Compliance with the provisions of
this paragraph shall be a condition precedent to any claim
in an arbitration, judicial, or other dispute resolution
process.
9.2 Arbitration. Any controversies or disputes arising
out of or relating to this Agreement that cannot be
resolved by the parties' authorized representatives shall
be resolved by binding arbitration in accordance with the
then current Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American
Arbitration Association. The parties shall endeavor to
select a mutually acceptable arbitrator knowledgeable about
issues relating to the subject matter of this Agreement.
In the event the parties are unable to agree to such a
selection, each party will select an arbitrator and the two
arbitrators shall in turn select a third arbitrator. The
arbitration shall take place in Travis County, Texas.
During the course of any arbitration proceeding, Seller
shall continue to perform its obligations to Purchaser
under this Agreement.
9.3 Document Review. All documents, materials, and
information in the possession of each party that are in any
way relevant to the claims or disputes shall be made
available to the other party for review, inspection and
copying no later than sixty (60) days after the notice of
arbitration is served.
9.4 Arbitrator's Authority. The arbitrators shall not
have the authority, power, or right to alter, change,
amend, modify, add, or subtract from any provision of this
Agreement. The arbitrators shall have the power to issue
mandatory orders, restraining orders, and injunctions in
connection with the arbitration. The award entered by the
arbitrators shall be final and binding upon the parties,
and judgment may be entered thereon in any court of
competent jurisdiction.
10. GENERAL PROVISIONS
10.1 Governing Law. This Agreement has been negotiated,
executed and delivered at and shall be deemed to have been
made in Texas. This Agreement shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the domestic laws of the State
of Texas without giving effect to any choice or conflict of
law provision or rule (whether of the State of Texas or any
other jurisdiction) that would cause the application of the
laws of any jurisdiction other than the State of Texas.
10.2 Consent to Jurisdiction and Forum. The parties
hereto hereby consent and agree that the District Court of
Travis County, Texas or, at the Licensee's option, the
United States District Court for the Western District of
Texas, shall have exclusive jurisdiction to hear and
determine any claims or disputes between the parties hereto
pertaining to this Agreement or to any matter arising out
of or related to this Agreement. The parties hereto
expressly submit and consent in advance to such
jurisdiction in any action or suit commenced in any such
court, and hereby waive any objection which it may have
based upon lack of personal jurisdiction, improper venue or
forum non conveniens and hereby consent to the granting of
such legal or equitable relief as is deemed appropriate by
such court. Each party hereto irrevocably consents to the
service of process by registered or certified mail, postage
prepaid, to it at its address given pursuant to this
Agreement. Nothing in this Agreement shall be deemed or
operate to affect the right of either party to serve legal
process in any other manner permitted by law, or to
preclude the enforcement by either party of any judgment or
order obtained in such forum or the taking of any action
under this Agreement to enforce same in any other
appropriate forum or jurisdiction.
10.3 Construction. The parties have participated
jointly in the negotiation and drafting of this Agreement.
In the event an ambiguity or question of intent or
interpretation arises, this Agreement shall be construed as
if drafted jointly by the parties and no presumption or
burden of proof shall arise favoring or disfavoring any
party by virtue of the authorship of any of the provisions
of this Agreement. Whenever the context of this Agreement
requires, the gender of all words herein shall include the
masculine, feminine, and neuter, and the number of all
words herein shall include the singular and plural. All
references to section numbers in this Agreement shall be
references to sections in this Agreement, unless otherwise
specifically indicated. The captions used herein are for

construction of this Agreement.
10.4 Amendments; Waiver. This Agreement may be amended
from time to time only by written agreement of the parties.
No term or provisions of this Agreement may be waived or
modified unless such waiver or modification is in writing
and signed by the party against whom such waiver or
modification is sought to be enforced. No failure on the
part of any party to exercise and no delay in exercising,
any right, power, or remedy under this Agreement shall
operate as a waiver thereof, nor shall any single or
partial exercise of any right under this Agreement preclude
any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of
any other right. The remedies provided in this Agreement
are cumulative and not exclusive of any remedies provided
by law.
10.5 Entire Agreement. This Agreement and the Term
Sheet are the entire agreement of the parties with respect
to the subject matter therein, and supersedes all prior
agreements between them, whether oral or written, of any
nature whatsoever with respect to the subject matter
hereof. No amendment, alteration, or modification of this
Agreement or the Term Sheet shall be valid unless in each
instance such amendment, alteration, or modification is
expressed in a written instrument duly executed by the
parties hereto.
10.6 Severability. If any provision of this Agreement
is held by final judgment of a court of competent
jurisdiction to be invalid, illegal or unenforceable, such
invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision shall be
severed from the remainder of this Agreement, and the
remainder of this Agreement shall be enforced. In
addition, the invalid, illegal or unenforceable provision
shall be deemed to be automatically modified, and, as so
modified, to be included in this Agreement, such
modification being made to the minimum extent necessary to
render the provision valid, legal and enforceable.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, however, if the severed or
modified provision concerns all or a portion of the
essential consideration to be delivered under this
Agreement by one party to the other, the remaining
provisions of this Agreement shall also be modified to the
extent necessary to equitably adjust the parties'
respective rights and obligations hereunder.
