If maintenance is provided by CA, it shall be renewed annually (except as otherwise provided in the Order Form) and Licensee agrees to pay the annual renewal maintenance fee, unless either party gives the other at least 20 days written notice of non-renewal. All fees are net of applicable taxes. Licensee agrees to pay any tariffs, duties or taxes imposed or levied by any government or governmental agency including, without limitation, federal, state and local, sales, use, value added and personal property taxes, (other than franchise and income taxes for which CA is responsible) upon a presentation of invoices by CA. Any claimed exemption from such tariffs, duties or taxes must be supported by proper documentary evidence delivered to CA. Any invoice which is unpaid by Licensee when due shall be subject to an interest charge equal to the lower of 1.5% per month or the highest applicable legal rate.

6.

If Licensee desires to use the Product beyond such restrictions, it shall notify CA, and Licensee will be invoiced for and shall pay the applicable fees for such expanded use.

7. Title to the Product and all modifications thereto shall remain with CA. The Product is a trade secret and the proprietary property of CA or its licensors. Usage rights respecting the Product may not be exchanged for any other CA product. Licensee and its employees will keep the Product and the terms of this license strictly confidential.

The Product may be used only within the boundaries of the country where the Product was purchased (except as otherwise provided on the Order Form) unless CA consents otherwise in writing. If this license terminates for any reason, Licensee shall certify to CA in writing that all copies and partial copies of the Product have been deleted from all computers and storage devices and are returned to CA or destroyed and are no longer in use. All fees payable hereunder shall be payable in advance. Licensee will install each new release of the Product delivered to Licensee. Licensee shall comply with all relevant import and export regulations, including those adopted by the Office of Export Administration of the US Department of Commerce. The Product and any accompanying documentation have been developed entirely at private expense. They are delivered and licensed as "commercial item" "computer software" as defined in FAR2.101. If a Product is being acquired by or on behalf of the U.S. Government or by a U.S. Government prime contractor or subcontractor (at any tier), then the Government's rights to the Product and accompanying documentation will be only as set forth in this Agreement; and in accordance with FAR 52.227-14 Rights in Data-General, "Restricted Rights," any equivalent agency regulation or contract clause, or such applicable successor provisions. CA is the manufacturer of the Product. This license shall be governed by and interpreted in accordance with the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its choice of law provisions. Any dispute hereunder shall be determined by a court of competent jurisdiction within the State of New York, U. S. A.

8. CA warrants that it can enter into this license and that it will indemnify, hold Licensee harmless, and defend or, at its option, settle any claim that CA is not so authorized or that Licensee's use of the Product as authorized hereby infringes any patent, copyright or other intellectual property right of any third party. CA also warrants that the Product will operate in accordance with its published specifications, provided that CA's only responsibility will be to use reasonable efforts, consistent with industry standards, to cure any defect. The foregoing warranty respecting the operation of the Product will be in effect only during any period for which Licensee shall have paid the applicable license fee and annual maintenance fee, or, with respect to Products licensed without an Order Form, during a period of ninety (90) days from Licensee's acquisition of the Product. If, within a reasonable time after receiving Licensee's written notice of breach of either of the above warranties, CA is unable to cause the Product to operate (a) without infringing a third party's intellectual property rights, or (b) in accordance with CA's written specifications, then either party may terminate this Agreement on written notice to the other party.

9. EXCEPT AS SET FORTH ABOVE, TO THE FULL EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW: (A) NO OTHER WARRANTIES, WHETHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, ARE MADE BY CA; AND (B) IN NO EVENT WILL CA BE LIABLE TO LICENSEE OR ANY OTHER PARTY FOR ANY CLAIM FOR LOSS, INCLUDING TIME, MONEY, GOODWILL, AND CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, WHICH MAY ARISE FROM THE USE, OPERATION OR MODIFICATION OF THE PRODUCT. IN THE EVENT THAT THE ABOVE LIABILITY LIMITATION IS FOUND TO BE INVALID UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, THEN CA'S LIABILITY FOR SUCH CLAIM SHALL BE LIMITED TO THE AMOUNT OF THE LICENSE FEE ACTUALLY PAID FOR THE PRODUCT BY LICENSEE.

10. Licensee may assign this license only if Licensee complies with CA's then prevailing policies respecting assignment of licenses, which includes a requirement that the scope of use of the Product not be expanded beyond the business of Licensee and the business of Licensee's majority-owned subsidiaries. CA may assign this license to any third party that succeeds to CA's interests in the Product and assumes the obligations of CA hereunder; and CA may assign its right to payment hereunder or grant a security interest in this license or such payment right to any third party.

11. If Licensee breaches any term of this license or if Licensee becomes insolvent or if bankruptcy or receivership proceedings are initiated by or against Licensee, CA shall have the right to withhold its own performance hereunder and/or to terminate this license immediately and, in addition to all other rights of CA, all amounts due or to become due hereunder will immediately be due and payable to CA.

12. If Licensee fails to pay the applicable maintenance fee, then Licensee may reinstate maintenance thereafter by paying to CA a fee equal to 150% of CA's then prevailing maintenance fee for each year for which the maintenance fee has not been paid.

13. Any questions concerning this license should be referred to CA, One Computer Associates Plaza, Islandia, NY 11749, Attention: Legal Department.
