BULK LICENSE AGREEMENT

This Agreement, effective _________[date], is by and between XYZ, Inc. a _________[state] corporation with offices at _________[address] ("XYZ") and _________, a _________[state] corporation with offices at _________[address], ("Licensee").

1. BACKGROUND.

1.2. Licensee wishes to acquire licenses to use copies of the Products, as defined below.

2. CERTAIN DEFINITIONS. For the purpose of this Agreement, the following definitions shall apply:

2.1. The "Products" are the software programs listed in Exhibit 1.1, in the form as marketed by XYZ, and including any documentation packaged with the programs by XYZ. The Products shall include any enhancements, new releases, updates or other modifications (collectively, "Developments") to the Programs which XYZ may release from time-to-time under the same product name or names.

2.2. An "Ordering Period" is the 12-month period commencing with the date of this Agreement, and each succeeding 12-month period.

2.3. The "Delivery Period" for each Ordering Period is the Ordering Period and the following three (3) months.

3. LICENSE.

3.1. XYZ hereby grants Licensee the right to use each copy of a Product acquired from XYZ hereunder on a single computer. Licensee may permit such use by any of its employees or independent contractors, provided that as to each copy, either (a) no more than one such party at a time is able to use each copy, or (b) if any copy is installed on a network or multi-user system where use of one copy by more than one person at a time is possible, whether by time-sharing, creation of additional copies in the memory of terminals or computers other than the one on which the software is first installed, or otherwise, Licensee has purchased a copy for each such potential user. XYZ retains title to each copy of each Product; title to the media on which the Product is provided is transferred to Licensee when payment is made.

3.2. Licensee may also:

3.2.1. Copy the Product for backup purposes.

3.2.2. Modify the Product and/or merge it into another program, in which case any portion of the Product so merged shall continue to be subject to this Agreement.

3.2.3. Transfer any copy of the Product which has not been merged or modified to a third party, provided that:

3.2.3.1. If the transferee is to receive fewer than ten (10) copies, each copy is furnished together with a copy of XYZ's standard Program License Agreement and the transferee agrees in writing to be bound by the terms of such agreement.

3.2.3.2. If the transferee is to receive ten (10) or more copies, the transferee must be approved by XYZ and execute an XYZ Bulk License Agreement.

3.3. Rights After Transfer: If Licensee transfers any copy of a Product, Licensee must transfer or destroy any and all unmerged and unmodified copies it may have made from that copy, and destroy all modified, merged or backup copies made from the transferred copy. Any transferred copy shall no longer be counted for the purpose of authorizing use on networks or multi-user systems under Section 3.1.

4. REPRESENTATIONS AND WARRANTIES OF THE LICENSEE. Licensee represents and warrants that:

4.1. It is a corporation duly organized and validly existing under the laws of the State of _________

4.2. This Agreement has been duly and validly authorized by Licensee, and is a valid and binding agreement of Licensee enforceable in accordance with its terms.

5. ORDERS AND PAYMENT.

5.1. Licensee hereby elects the Discount Level shown in Exhibit 5.1. A separate Discount Level may be elected for each Product covered by this Agreement. At the commencement of each Ordering Period, a new discount level shall be set by mutual agreement for each Product.

5.2. Upon the commencement of each Ordering Period, Licensee shall pay to XYZ a deposit of 25% of the XYZ list price for each Product (the "Deposit") multiplied by the maximum number of units in the Discount Level elected for the Product for the Ordering Period, reduced by the discount applicable to the Discount Level for the Product. To be eligible for a discount, each order must be received by XYZ during an Ordering Period and specify delivery during the Delivery Period for that Ordering Period.

5.3. XYZ will use all reasonable efforts to provide, by the delivery dates requested by Licensee, the units of Products ordered by Licensee. Licensee's orders may be placed in any form, including by telex, but any such order shall be deemed to incorporate all the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any additional or inconsistent terms or conditions in any order are hereby specifically objected to by XYZ and shall not be binding on XYZ unless agreed to in writing. Licensee acknowledges that XYZ does not retain any significant inventory of Products, and delivery may be delayed by the time required to prepare the units ordered. Returns of units ordered are not permitted.

5.4. XYZ shall invoice Licensee for each shipment, not earlier than the date of the shipment. The price for each unit of Product shall be XYZ's standard list price in effect on the date XYZ receives the order for the unit, reduced by the applicable discount level. Invoices are payable in full within thirty (30) days. The Deposit required under Section 5.2 shall be applied in full to invoices. Late payments shall bear interest at the rate of one and one-half percent (11/2%) per month, or the highest legal rate, whichever is less. In the event of a late payment by Licensee, or the Licensee encountering financial difficulties, XYZ reserves the right to require payment in advance. All prices are F.O.B. XYZ's offices; shipping costs will be stated on the invoices for payment by Licensee, unless shipment is freight collect.

5.5. Adjustments: At the end of each Delivery Period, the following adjustments shall be made:

5.5.1. The Discount Level finally applicable for each Product for the Ordering Period last ended shall be determined by the number of units of the Product ordered by Licensee during the Ordering Period for which delivery was taken within the Delivery Period ("Qualified Units"). This is the "Final Discount Level" for the Ordering Period.

5.5.2. The price of each order for each Product shall be recalculated using the Final Discount Level. The total of such prices is the "Final Total."

5.5.3. If the total of the amounts paid (and invoiced but not yet paid) (including the Deposit for the Ordering Period just ended) for Qualified Units, at the Discount Level elected for each Product for the Ordering Period, is less than the Final Total, XYZ shall invoice Licensee for the difference. If the Final Total is less than the total of

the amounts paid (and invoiced but not yet paid) (including the Deposit) for Qualified Units, at the Discount Level elected for each Product for the Ordering Period, the difference shall be refunded to the Licensee.

5.6. Any shipments which are delivered after the Delivery Period for the Ordering Period in which they were ordered shall be treated as if ordered and delivered in the subsequent Ordering and Delivery Periods.

5.7. XYZ's prices are exclusive of all taxes. Licensee shall pay all taxes relating to the transfer of units of Product from XYZ to Licensee. Such taxes, except for taxes on XYZ's net income, shall be paid by Licensee directly, or to XYZ where XYZ is required to collect such tax. In lieu of payment of a tax, Licensee may provide an exemption certificate acceptable to XYZ and the applicable taxing authority. Should an audit of either party by governmental authorities result in a claim that any such charges are due, Licensee shall pay the charges, together with all interest, penalties and other costs on demand by XYZ.

6. OBLIGATIONS OF LICENSEE.

6.1. Licensee will make diligent efforts to ensure that copying and distribution of the Products it obtains shall be in conformance with the terms of this Agreement. Licensee shall designate a single person or department to administer the terms of this Agreement and to monitor the use of the Products. Licensee shall inform all of its employees and consultants who may have access to copies of the Products that no copy other than for backup purposes may be made, and that copies must be purchased from XYZ.

6.2. Licensee shall not attempt to obtain the source code to any Product by decompilation, disassembly or other means, and shall make no copies of the software except as specifically authorized.

THE COMPUTER PROGRAMS COMPRISING THE PRODUCTS ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" WITHOUT WARRANTY OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING, BUT NOT LIMITED TO, THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE AND INFRINGEMENT. SHOULD ANY PROGRAM PROVE DEFECTIVE, LICENSEE SHALL BEAR THE ENTIRE COST OF ALL NECESSARY SERVICING, REPAIRER CORRECTION.

NO OTHER WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING BUT NOT LIMITED TO THE WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS, TITLE AND AGAINST INFRINGEMENT, ARE MADE BY XYZ. The remedies contained in Section 7.2 shall not be deemed to have failed of their essential purpose so long as XYZ is making good faith efforts to correct defects under the terms of the warranty, or has made the refunds or replacements provided for. The warranties set forth herein allocate risks of product nonconformity, and XYZ's prices reflect the allocations of such risk.

7.4. XYZ's entire liability and Licensee's exclusive remedy shall be as follows:

7.4.1. In all situations involving performance or nonperformance of the Products, Licensee's remedy is the warranties in Sections 7.1 and 7.2.

7.5. In no event will XYZ be liable for any lost profits or any other incidental or consequential damages, even if XYZ has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In no event will XYZ be liable for any claim against Licensee by any other party, except as provided in Article 8.

8. PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INDEMNIFICATION.

8.3. Should any Product become, or in XYZ's opinion be likely to become, the subject of any claim of infringement, XYZ may (1) procure for the Licensee the right to continue using the Product, (2) replace or modify units previously sold to Licensee to make them non-infringing, or (3) terminate this Agreement, including the licenses granted hereunder, and refund to Licensee any amounts (but not in excess of the price per unit paid to the Licensee) paid by Licensee hereunder, less an allowance for use of each copy purchased based on straight-line depreciation over a three-year life commencing on the date of delivery.
