2. LICENSE GRANT
2.1 GRANT OF LICENSE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement and in consideration of the agreement of PSC to pay license
fees hereunder, FRx hereby grants to PSC (subject to satisfaction of
conditions specified in Section 2.1(a)) and PSC accepts a non-exclusive
worldwide license to use, copy, distribute and sublicense the Software
as a component part of the PSC Products for distribution to End Users
and to PSC Resellers for redistribution to End Users. Although the right
to license and distribute the Software generally is non-exclusive, FRx
shall not directly market or license to any other party the right to
license and distribute the Software with interfaces to the PSC Products.
The Software may be licensed by PSC to third parties either as Bundled
Software or Standalone Software as specified on Exhibit A to this
Agreement. For purposes of this Section 2.1 the term Software shall
include upgrades and updates to the Software supplied under Article 9 of
this Agreement.
2.1(a) CONDITIONS PRECEDENT TO GRANT. This grant is specifically
contingent upon PSC payment of obligations described in Section 6.1
(a), 6.1(b) and 6.1(c). PSC shall not be authorized to
distribute Software until such payments are made to FRx.
2.1(b) INTERNATIONAL TRANSLATION AND LOCALIZATION. PSC is hereby
granted the authority to translate the Software into languages other
than U.S. English for distribution in international markets. FRx
shall use all reasonable efforts to provide to PSC at no additional
cost an externalized text file to facilitate such translations no
later than six (6) months from the Effective Date. PSC shall fund
such translation efforts and own all rights to its modifications to
the translation files or tables. Should FRx develop a translated
version for specific international markets at its cost, it shall
make such version(s) available to PSC for use with PSC Products at a
fee to be reasonably negotiated between the parties.
2
3
2.2 RESERVED RIGHTS. FRx reserves the right to directly license or
distribute the Software, without compensating PSC, as a component of a
multi-site or multi-division financial reporting and consolidation
solution. Such a license would be directed toward larger corporate
clients using other accounting systems in addition to PSC Products. (For
this purpose, PSC Products may not be the primary or controlling
accounting system for the end-user organization, but may be in use at
subsidiary or other levels in the organization) Should PSC assist FRx in
the sale or license of an enterprise-wide reporting and/or consolidation
solution involving non-PSC databases, FRx shall negotiate in good faith
and pay to PSC a sales commission or fee consistent with industry
standards and/or FRx established commission policies for such services.
2.3 TERMS OF LICENSE GRANT.
2.3(a) RIGHT TO USE FRx TRADEMARKS AND TRADE NAMES. In connection
with the distribution or advertising of the Software, PSC may use
trade names or trademarks of FRx, including "FRx" and "FRx: The
Financial Reporting Extender". PSC acknowledges the validity of such
trademarks and trade names and FRx's ownership thereof. All such
marks and names and any additional marks of which FRx may in the
future be the proprietor will bear the designation(TM) or the (R)
designation as specified by FRx. PSC shall not challenge FRx's
rights to use the trademarks or trade names which FRx may apply to
or use in connection with the Software. PSC shall not (nor shall it
attempt to) adopt, use, or register any acronym, trademark, trade
names or other marketing name of FRx or any confusingly similar word
or symbol as part of PSC's own name or the name of any of its
affiliates or the products it markets, except with respect to the
licensing of a prior version of the FRx software as permitted in
Section 10 of this Agreement. PSC agrees to famish to FRx a sample
of each brochure and advertising of any type using FRx trademarks
and trade names for inspection and review. If FRx at any time finds
any brochure or advertising of any type using FRx trademarks and
trade names as prepared by PSC to be inconsistent with its trademark
marketing guidelines, or prepared in a misleading or deceptive
manner, then FRx may notify PSC in writing of such deficiency or
deficiencies, and PSC shall correct or eliminate such deficiency or
deficiencies with 14 days after receipt of such notice.
2.3(b) TERMS OF SOFTWARE SUBLICENSE. Each copy of the Software and
the Documentation shall be sublicensed to End Users pursuant to the
terms and conditions of PSC's end-user license agreement ("END-USER
LICENSE"), which in every instance shall include the language set
forth on Exhibit H-1 and H-2, attached hereto, as applicable.
3. COMMENCEMENT, DURATION AND TERMINATION

breach, if such breach is capable of remedy, within thirty (30) days
from the date of written notice specifying the breach and requiring

by FRx or if Agreement terminates under Section 3.1, all amounts
due to FRx shall be payable in accordance with the standard payment
terms provided in Article 6.
3.3(b) FRx shall have no liability or obligation to refund any
unrecovered Prepaid License Fees provided in Section 6.1 on
termination of this Agreement, unless Early Termination is caused by

(including, without limitation, all Documentation, manuals,
software, specifications, PSC business plans) and shall remove,
cancel and/or cease to use the trademarks, trade names and any

code escrow agreement with PSC prior to the Effective Date
that included the PSC version of the FRx source code and
such End User has not elected to convert to the FRx version
of Software during this Agreement, PSC shall be permitted to
deliver its version of the FRx source code to such End User,
if and when required by the source code escrow agreement.
3.3(h) PSC and FRx shall issue a joint communication to all
end-users of FRx software products (both DOS and Windows versions)
advising users of options from each company for ongoing technical
support, software maintenance and enhancement plans for existing FRx
products as well as new financial reporting products available
subsequent to termination. Either party shall be authorized to
provide such services and products to existing End Users without
compensation to the other. Notwithstanding the above, FRx is
authorized to continue to provide support services to users then
enrolled in a Support Plan for the FRx product for the duration of
the term of that user's Support Plan and retain the related funds
for providing such services.
3.3 (i) If this Agreement has not terminated under Section 3.2(a)
or (b) caused by PSC, and subject to the continuous timely
performance by PSC of its obligations under this Agreement, FRx
agrees to enter into good faith negotiations with PSC to enter into
a Software Distribution Agreement upon termination of this Agreement
on terms similar to agreements FRx has entered into with other
software vendors. This agreement would authorize PSC to distribute
FRx products, including FRx support and maintenance plans, on a
non-bundled basis to its user base and would include a prohibition
against direct solicitation or marketing by FRx of FRx products to
PSC's customer base as long as PSC actively markets such products.
Further, any unrecovered Prepaid License Fees shall be fully
recoverable against royalties under such a Distribution Agreement at
a recovery
5
6
rate on each license not to exceed 50% of the total License Fee due
to FRx for that license.
3.4 LIMITATION OF RIGHTS UPON TERMINATION
3.4(a) NO CONTINUING RELATIONSHIP. Both parties to this Agreement
acknowledge and agree that, subject to the provisions of Section
3.3(i), they have no expectation and have received no assurances
that their business relationship will continue beyond the stated
term of this Agreement or that either shall obtain any anticipated
amount of profits by virtue of this Agreement.
3.4(b) NO CONTINUING RIGHTS. Neither party to this Agreement shall
have or acquire by virtue of this Agreement or otherwise any vested,
proprietary, or other right in the promotion of the Software or in
any goodwill created by its efforts under this Agreement.

BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR DAMAGES OR PAYMENTS OF ANY KIND, INCLUDING
INCIDENTAL, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES, ON ACCOUNT OF THE TERMINATION OR
EXPIRATION OF THIS AGREEMENT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THIS ARTICLE 3.
4. DUTIES OF FRx
4.1 DELIVERY OF DELIVERABLES. FRx agrees to develop interfaces between

use all reasonable efforts to perform the necessary software and system
integration testing as soon as practicable upon receipt of Software.
Should PSC encounter technical difficulties in completing such
integration and these difficulties are communicated to FRx, acceptance
of Software will not occur until integration of Software with PSC
Products is complete. Should PSC fail to advise FRx that Software does
not substantially conform to Documentation or the Integration Program
and advise FRx of the specific technical difficulties in completing the
integration of Software to PSC Products within 30 days of receipt,
Software and Documentation shall be deemed to be accepted by PSC.

adequate facilities in the performance of its obligations under this
Agreement.

sales price of the Software. PSC shall be responsible for all costs
incurred in connection with the production and distribution of the
Software and the Documentation. PSC shall be responsible for the

including maintenance releases and upgrades. Should PSC request FRx to
provide copies of the Stand-Alone Software to PSC for redistribution to
its Resellers and End Users, PSC shall pay FRx a production fee of $50
(or other amount to be agreed upon between the parties) for each
Software and Documentation package produced by FRx plus freight (F.O.B.
point of origin). Should FRx's production costs exceed $50 per package,
PSC shall also pay such additional costs upon receipt of written
notification by FRx and submission of reasonable documentation of such

provide sample test databases adequate to test the functionality of the
Software and the interface to the PSC Products and to update such
databases as needed to reflect changes to PSC Products.
5.5 PROPRIETARY RIGHTS.
5.5(a) TITLE TO THE SOFTWARE. PSC acknowledges that FRx owns and
retains all right, title and interest in and to the Software and the
Documentation including, but not limited, to all copyrights and
trade secret rights embodied therein. PSC's license under this
Agreement includes only the right to use and make copies of the
Software and related Documentation and to distribute copies of the
Software and the Documentation to PSC's End Users, either directly
or through PSC Resellers, under the terms and conditions set forth
herein.
5.5(b) NO REVERSE ENGINEERING. PSC acknowledges that the Software
contains confidential information and trade secrets developed or
acquired by FRx through the expenditure of a great deal of time and
money. PSC agrees not to, and not to authorize or permit any of its
employees to decompile, disassemble or otherwise reverse engineer
the Software or any portion thereof and shall use its best efforts
to prevent its employees from doing the same and to immediately
notify FRx in writing if to its knowledge any employee or third
party under the direction or control of PSC decompiles, disassembles
or otherwise reverse engineers the Software or any portion thereof
or attempts such actions. Because of the unique and proprietary
nature of the Software, it is agreed that remedies at law are
inadequate to compensate FRx in the event of a breach of this
Section by PSC and, therefore, FRx shall, in the event of such
breach, be entitled to equitable relief (including, without
limitation, injunctive relief and specific performance) in addition
to all other remedies provided under this Agreement or available at
law.
5.5(c) PROPRIETARY RIGHTS NOTICES. PSC shall not remove, alter or
conceal any copyright or other proprietary right notice placed by
FRx in or on the Software or the Documentation. PSC agrees to place
such copyright or other notices on all copies of the Software and
the Documentation made or distributed under this Agreement and on
any other materials referencing the Software or the Documentation
and to comply with all directions which may be submitted by FRx from
time to time regarding the form and reasonable placement of
copyright notices and other proprietary rights notices.
5.5(d) NOTIFICATION OF INFRINGEMENTS. PSC recognizes FRx's
legitimate interest in preventing the unauthorized use,
reproduction, publication, disclosure or distribution of the
Software and the Documentation and will take all reasonable steps to
discover and prevent any such unauthorized use, reproduction,
publication disclosure or distribution. PSC hereby agrees to notify
FRx promptly and in writing whenever PSC has knowledge of any
unauthorized possession, use, reproduction, publication, disclosure
or distribution of the Software or the Documentation or any portion
thereof.
5.6 RECORDS. PSC shall maintain for at least three (3) years following
termination or expiration of this Agreement, and shall make available to
FRx for inspection and copying, all of PSC's books and records relating
to its reproduction and sale of the Software and the calculation of
License and Support Fees under Section 6 of this Agreement.

6. LICENSE FEES, TOTAL PAYMENTS, AUDIT RIGHTS
6.1 INITIAL PAYMENT OBLIGATION. PSC agrees to pay FRx the sum of $[ * ]
within 180 days of acceptance of the Software, as follows:
6.1(a) $[ * ] upon completion of Phase I of Deliverables, as
provided in Exhibit C;
6.1(b) $[ * ] upon completion of Phase II of Deliverables;
6.1(c) Upon acceptance of the Software under Section 4.2
(completion of Phase III of Deliverables), PSC shall pay to FRx the
amount, less the $[ * ] paid above, that is recorded by PSC (as of
the Effective Date) for prepaid support and maintenance fees
("Prepaid Support") paid by End Users in connection with the version
of FRx for Windows currently distributed by PSC. Such amount
(including the payments made under Section 6.1(a) and (b))shall
not be less than $[ * ] Should the actual Prepaid Support amount be
less than $[ * ] the difference shall be treated as additional
Prepaid License Fee and recovered by PSC as provided in Section 6.1
(d). Should the actual Prepaid Support amount be greater than $[ * ]
the difference shall be payable to FRx within fifteen (15) days of
determination of the actual Prepaid Support amount.
6.1(d) The difference between (i) the sum of total payments under
Section 6.1(a) through (c) and license fees paid under Section 6.2
during the first 180 days following acceptance of the Software, and
(ii) the amount of $[ * ] shall be paid to FRx 180 days after
acceptance of the Software. Such payment shall constitute a PREPAID
LICENSE FEE that shall be applied at the rate of 100% to subsequent
license fees until fully recovered by PSC.
6.1(e) SECURITY FOR PAYMENT. To secure the payment of this Initial
Payment Obligation, FRx shall obtain a first security interest in
the shares of FRx corporate Stock owned by PSC as of the Effective
Date. PSC shall provide all necessary assistance, including
execution of appropriate documentation as provided in Exhibit L,
required to perfect such security interest. FRx shall release this
security interest upon receipt of the entire Initial Payment
Obligation.
9
10
6.2 LICENSE FEES. The license fee payable by PSC to FRx for each unit of
the Software distributed by PSC is specified in Exhibit B attached
hereto; provided, however, that the license fee submitted by PSC shall
be equal to or greater than the Minimum Royalty, as set forth in Exhibit
B, for each copy of the Software licensed by PSC during the term of this
Agreement.
6.3 SUPPORT AND ENHANCEMENT FEES.
6.3(a) INITIAL SUPPORT FEE PAYMENT. PSC shall pay the amount
provided in Section 6.1(c), in accordance with the payment terms
provided therein.
6.3(b) SUBSEQUENT SUPPORT FEE PAYMENTS. PSC shall use all
reasonable efforts to sell support and maintenance plans for the
Software to new End Users and renewal support and maintenance plans
(the "Support Plans") to existing End Users. PSC shall invoice and
collect funds from End Users for support and maintenance plans and
remit to FRx a percentage of the support and maintenance fees
collected in accordance with Section 6.6. In the case of Support
Plans for Software sold on a Stand-Alone basis, PSC will invoice the
End User at its standard support rate applied to the total license
fee and in such case FRx shall be entitled to receive the entire
maintenance and support fee collected. In the case of support plans
for Software sold as Bundled Software, the allocation rule provided
below shall apply.
6.4 ALLOCATION FORMULA FOR BUNDLED LICENSE AND SUPPORT FEES. In
determining the amount of PSC's Revenue to be paid to FRx in the case
that the Software is licensed as Bundled Software or in the case that
PSC sells Support Plans for the Bundled Software, the allocation factors
provided below shall apply:
FRx Standard Edition bundled with Platinum for Windows [ * ]%
FRx Advanced Edition bundled with Premier Ledger [ * ]%
FRx Advanced Edition bundled with SQL NT [ * ]%
If PSC licenses the Software as Bundled Software, then FRx shall be
entitled to receive the amount of PSC Revenue from the licensing of the
Bundled Software multiplied by the appropriate allocation factor
specified above, multiplied by the applicable royalty rate contained on
Exhibit B. For example, if PSC Revenue from the license of its Platinum
SQL NT General Ledger bundled with the FRx Advanced Edition is $20,000,
PSC shall be obligated to pay to FRx [ * ] as a license fee or royalty.
This amount was determined by taking the $20,000 in revenue and
multiplying it by [ * ] (the applicable allocation percentage) and
multiplying the result by [ * ] (the applicable royalty rate). In the
above example, FRx would also be entitled to receive [ * ] as Support
Plan revenue. This amount is determined by taking the $20,000 in revenue
and multiplying it by 15% (PSC's standard rate for maintenance) and
multiplying the result by [ * ]% (the applicable allocation factor). If
PSC licenses the Software as Stand-Alone Software, then FRx shall be
entitled to receive the amount of PSC Net License Revenue from the
licensing of the Stand-Alone Software multiplied by the applicable
royalty rate contained on Exhibit B. (All amounts payable shall be
subject to the Minimum Royalty payment defined in Exhibit B.) If PSC
materially changes the pricing of the general ledger module relative to
the other modules or if the Software is bundled with different
configurations than reflected above, PSC and FRx will negotiate in good
faith to determine a new allocation percentage that maintains the
reasonable value of FRx relative to the entire system sale.
6.5 DEMONSTRATION, NOT-FOR-RESALE AND EVALUATION COPIES. Royalties or
other charges, such as Support Plan revenues, shall not be payable for
any copies of the Software used for
10
11
demonstration, support or training of End Users, "Not-for-Resale"
software provided to resellers or for copies of the Software distributed
as "evaluation copies" of the PSC Products, which are provided to End
Users on a trial basis not to exceed ninety (90) days and for which no
consideration or other value is received by PSC. In addition, royalties
or other similar charges shall not be payable for any copies which are
provided to End Users or PSC Resellers for development purposes or for
backup or archival purposes or for copies of the Software provided to
End Users for beta testing prior to general release.
6.6 PAYMENT TERMS AND MONTHLY ACCOUNTING.
6.6(a) PSC shall provide a statement within 45 days after the end of
each month that provides details of: (i) Bundled and Stand-Alone
Software licensed by PSC during the month; (ii) the names of all PSC
End Users who have licensed Software during the month; and (iii) the
names of all PSC End Users who have purchased Support Plans and
renewals during the month.
6.6(b) Accounting for license fee and Support Plan revenues will be
computed on an accrual basis.
6.6(c) Payment of the license and support fees detailed in the
statement provided under Section 6.6(a) is to be received by FRx
before the expiration of the 45 day period. Interest charges may be
assessed by FRx on any past due amounts at a rate of 1.0% per month,
from due date of payment until payment in full is received.
6.6(d) All statements and payments shall be made to FRx at the
address of FRx set forth at the beginning of this Agreement, or at
such other address as may be designated by FRx.
6.7 MATERIAL BREACH FOR NON-PAYMENT. Failure by PSC to pay all amounts
due within sixty (60) days of the date payment is due as prescribed in
Sections 6.1 and 6.6(c) shall constitute a material breach of this
Agreement.
6.8 AUDIT RIGHT. PSC shall keep at its principal place of business
complete and accurate books and records, in accordance with Section 5.6,
which contain all information necessary to compute payment due FRx under
the terms of the Agreement. Not more than once per calendar year; FRx
may cause an audit to be made of such books and records in order to
verify statements rendered hereunder, and prompt adjustment shall be
made by the proper party to compensate the other party for any errors or
omissions disclosed by such audit. Any such audit shall be conducted by
an independent certified accountant from a firm selected by FRx during
PSC's regular business hours in such a manner as not to unduly interfere
with PSC's normal business activities. FRx shall pay the cost of such
audit unless the license fees paid to FRx are found to be less than
ninety percent (90%) of the license fees due to FRx, in which event PSC
shall pay the cost of such audit. Also, in the event such deficiency
exceeds 25% of the fees due to FRx, PSC shall pay liquidated damages on
the underpayment amount at a rate of 2.0% per month on a compounded
basis for the duration of the underpayment. FRx shall hold all
information contained in PSC's books and records in confidence and shall
use such information only to verify statements rendered under this
Agreement.
6.9 Notwithstanding the terms of this Agreement, if PSC identifies an
opportunity to market multiple licenses of the Software to an End User
in one transaction and a lower royalty amount is
11
12
deemed by PSC to be required for PSC to be competitive, PSC may request
a lower royalty amount from FRx for such transaction. If FRx, in its
discretion, agrees to such lower royalty amount for the transaction, a
letter amendment specifying such lower royalty amount applicable to only
such transaction shall be executed by corporate officers of PSC and FRx.

States (a "PROPRIETARY RIGHT"). PSC shall notify FRx in writing of
any such suit or proceeding promptly upon PSC's first learning of
such suit or proceeding, and shall provide FRx at no cost with such
assistance and cooperation as FRx may reasonably request in the
defense thereof. FRx shall have sole control over any such suit or
proceeding, including, without limitation, the right to settle on
behalf of PSC, provided that any settlement contains a complete
release of PSC and its Resellers, and End Users, as applicable, for
any liability or obligation and provided that PSC's continued
ability to license the Software to End Users either directly or
indirectly is not materially affected. Subject to PSC's fulfillment
of its obligations under this section, FRx. shall pay all damages
and costs finally awarded against PSC (or payable by PSC pursuant to
a settlement agreement approved by FRx) in connection with any such
suit or proceeding. In the event that use of the Software or
Documentation is enjoined by any court of competent jurisdiction,
FRx shall have the option, at its expense, to: (i) modify Software
to be non-infringing, with no material change in performance and
functionality; (ii) obtain for PSC the right to continue using and
distributing Software at no charge to

with respect to the infringing software and refund fees paid to FRx
for such software by PSC.
8.1(b) LIMITATION OF INDEMNITY. OTHER THAN AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN
THIS ARTICLE 8, FRx SHALL HAVE NO LIABILITY TO PSC WHATSOEVER FOR
ANY DAMAGES ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO ANY ALLEGATION OR
DETERMINATION THAT PSC's USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE SOFTWARE
INFRINGES OR CONSTITUTES WRONGFUL USE OF ANY PROPRIETARY RIGHT.
8.2 INDEMNIFICATION BY PSC. PSC shall be responsible for any and all
losses or damages incurred by FRx arising out of or in connection with
(i) defects in the media or reproduction of the Software or the

warranties or representations concerning the Software made by PSC or its
agents or employees, other than those contained in the End-User License
or otherwise authorized in writing by FRx and (iii) resulting from a
breach of any obligation of PSC under this Agreement. PSC agrees to
indemnify and hold FRx harmless from and with respect to any such loss
or damage (including, without limitation, reasonable attorney's fees and
costs). FRx shall notify PSC in writing of any suit or proceeding
against FRx for any of the reasons listed above promptly upon FRx's
first learning of such suit or proceeding, and shall provide PSC at no
cost with such assistance and cooperation as PSC may reasonably request
in the defense thereof. PSC shall have sole control over any such suit
or proceeding, provided, however, that PSC shall not effect a settlement
on behalf of FRx without FRx's consent, which will not be unreasonably
withheld. Subject to FRx's fulfillment of its obligations under this
Section, PSC shall pay all damages and costs awarded against FRx (or
payable by FRx pursuant to a settlement agreement) in connection with
any such suit or proceeding.
8.3 ACKNOWLEDGMENT AND LICENSE. Except as otherwise provided herein, PSC
acknowledges the exclusive right, title, and interest of FRx in and to
all of the Software (including without limitation any bug fixes,

9. TECHNICAL SUPPORT, SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE AND TRAINING
9.1 In order to provide adequate technical support and other services to
End Users of the Software, FRx and PSC agree to the following:
9.1(a) END USER SUPPORT BY FRx.
9.1(a)(1) SUBSCRIBERS TO EXISTING PSC SUPPORT PLANS. Upon
acceptance by PSC of the Software under Section 4.2,
distribution by PSC of Software to End Users subscribing to
Support Plans for the Software and payment to FRx of prepaid
Support Plan fees under Section 6.1 (c), FRx shall assume
direct responsibility for product technical support service
to such End Users in accordance with the performance
standards prescribed in the Support Plans (see Exhibit H).
This shall include all users of both FRx (DOS) and FRx for
Windows products distributed by PSC that are enrolled in a
Support Plan for the products. PSC shall provide to FRx the
information regarding subscribers to such Support Plans that
is detailed in Exhibit C under PSC Deliverables. FRx has no
responsibility to provide technical support services to any
PSC End User not included in such information.
9.1(a)(1)(1) END USERS NOT UTILIZING LATEST FRX SOFTWARE
UPGRADE. PSC acknowledges that technical support
services provided by FRx may be of a limited
nature in the case of End Users that have not
yet installed the Software Upgrade provided in
Section 9.1(c)(1) or FRx (DOS) users have not
upgraded to FRx for Windows. FRx shall provide
services to such users on a reasonable efforts
basis. FRx shall have no liability to provide
software fixes to such users if the problem or
defect has been corrected or would be resolved
through use of the latest software upgrade
provided by FRx. Also, input from such users
shall not be considered in applying the Support
Service Quality Standards of Section 9.1
(a)(5)(1).
9.1(a)(1)(2) SUPPORT FOR INTERNATIONAL END USERS. Within
sixty (60) days of the Effective Date, FRx shall
submit a plan to PSC which describes in detail
the procedures and techniques FRx will utilize
in providing technical support services to PSC's
international (outside North America) End Users.
Such plan may include arrangements with PSC
Resellers in other countries and regions to
provide front line technical support services on
behalf of FRx for a fee paid to such Resellers
by FRx. Should such plan not be satisfactory to
PSC,
15
16
(based upon reasonable quality standards and
similar levels of support previously provided by
PSC in such locations), PSC shall be authorized
to provide, directly or indirectly, support
services to End User in such locations and
retain a fee not to exceed fifty (50) percent of
the annual Support and Maintenance fee
attributable to affected End Users. In the event
Support and Maintenance fees have already been
paid to FRx relating to such End User(s), PSC
shall be authorized to deduct the appropriate
amount from its payment obligation to FRx under
Section 6.1 (c).
9.1(a)(2) NEW AND RENEWAL SUPPORT PLAN SUBSCRIPTIONS. PSC
shall offer Support Plans for the Software to all new end
users of Software as well as offer renewals to existing
Support Plan subscribers no later than sixty (60) days prior
to conclusion of their Support Plan contract.
9.1(a)(3) SUPPORT PLAN PRICING AND END USER IDENTIFICATION.
The pricing and structure of such plans shall be consistent
with support plans PSC markets in connection with other PSC
Products. FRx's applicable percentage of funds collected from
End Users and resellers in connection with such Support Plans
for Software shall be remitted to FRx in accordance with
Section 6.6. PSC shall provide to FRx a listing of names of
all End Users subscribing to Support Plans for the Software,
together with the expiration date of the Support Plan
agreement for each user. FRx shall have no responsibility to
provide technical support services to any PSC End User not
included in such listing or for which payment has not been
received by FRx in accordance with the payment terms of
Section 6.6.
9.1(a)(3)(1) FRx PREMIUM SUPPORT PLANS. FRx shall offer
Premium Support Plans for PSC End Users that
provide a higher level of service and cost, as
defined in Exhibit K. At its discretion, PSC and
its Resellers are hereby authorized to promote
and sell such Premium Support Plans to its End
Users and retain twenty (20) percent of the
sales price of such plans as a sales commission.
9.1(a)(4) DIRECT SOLICITATION OF SUPPORT PLANS BY FRx. PSC
shall have the primary authority and responsibility to market
and solicit enrollment in Support Plans for the Software. FRx
shall not market or solicit such enrollment directly from PSC
End Users, unless PSC fails to actively market and solicit
enrollment in such plans to End Users and timely remit funds
related thereto to FRx. For this purpose, this "active
marketing and solicitation" requirement shall be satisfied if
PSC performs the following in connection with the FRx
software products:
9.1(a)(4)(1) Support Plans are offered to all End Users
licensing Software to operate with other PSC
products.
9.1(a)(4)(2) Information and invoices to renew Support Plans
are provided to all users enrolled in such a
plan at least sixty (60) days prior to
expiration of each End User's plan year.
16
17
9.1(a)(4)(3) Support Plans are marketed and communicated to
resellers and End Users in the same manner,
frequency and format as support plans for other
PSC products and modules.
Should PSC fail to actively market and solicit enrollment in
Support Plans to End User according to the above standards,
FRx may, upon thirty (30) days prior written notice to PSC,
market its own support plans directly to End Users and
directly collect such funds, without compensation to PSC.
9.1(a)(5) SUPPORT SERVICES PROVIDED BY PSC. Subject to
maintenance of the Software according to standards prescribed
in Exhibit G and performance of technical support service
which is considered Acceptable according to standards defined
in Section 9. 1 (a)(5)(1), PSC is not authorized to provide
direct technical support services to PSC End Users in
connection with Software during the term of this Agreement.
Should the performance standards of FRx not be determined as
Acceptable, FRx shall have ninety (90) days to modify its
service quality to conform to the standards of Section 9. 1
(a)(5)(1). Should such services remain deficient according to
those standards after the 90 day period, PSC shall be
authorized to provide direct technical support services to
PSC End Users in connection with Software. Further, FRx shall
no longer be authorized to provide such support services to
PSC End Users without the specific written authorization of
PSC. In such event, all other terms and conditions of this
Agreement shall remain in full force and effect, including
the obligation of FRx to maintain Software in accordance with
Section 9.1(b). PSC shall be entitled to retain 50% of the
support plan revenues from End Users to whom it provides
direct technical support and FRx shall be entitled to the
remaining 50% of such revenues for its services in
maintaining and enhancing the Software. Notwithstanding the
provisions of this subsection, PSC shall be authorized to
provide technical assistance to End Users of a routine nature
so long as no compensation is received or retained by PSC for
such support.
9.1(a)(5)(1) SUPPORT SERVICE QUALITY STANDARDS. FRx agrees to
provide support services to PSC End Users
according to the standards defined in Exhibit H
(Support Plans). Further, PSC is authorized to
perform a survey of all FRx users enrolled in
Support Plans to determine general customer
satisfaction with the level and quality of
support services provided by FRx. Such survey
shall be performed no more frequently than every
twenty four (24) months and shall be jointly
written by PSC and FRx. The survey shall include
a question comparing the general quality level
of FRx services to support services provided by
PSC on other modules. Should fifty per cent
(50%) of users surveyed consider the support by
FRx to be "acceptable" or exceed the
satisfaction level earned by PSC for support of
other modules, the quality of FRx support
services shall be deemed Acceptable. End Users
not utilizing the latest Software as described
in Section 9.1(a)(1)(1) and End Users located
outside North America shall be excluded from
such survey.
9.1(b) SOFTWARE MAINTENANCE. Subject to timely payment to FRx
of the license fees provided in Article 6, FRx will provide
routine software maintenance releases at no cost
17
18
to PSC for distribution to End Users or to PSC Resellers.
Such maintenance releases, when and if released, are intended
to correct defects that render a currently supported version
of the Software incapable of performing substantially in
accordance with the Documentation. All such defects will be
resolved in accordance with the time frames identified in
Exhibit G after they are reported to and are reproducible by
FRx, provided that the End User reporting such defects is
using the most recent version of the Software. FRx agrees to
provide to End Users of the Software the maintenance and
support services that PSC generally provides to End Users of
PSC Products as described in Exhibits H-3 and H-4.
9.1(b)(1) PSC ACCESS TO FRx SOURCE CODE. Should FRx
fail to correct defects in the Software that are
reproducible by FRx in accordance with the time frames
defined in Exhibit G, PSC may, upon thirty (30) days
prior written notice to FRx and upon FRx's continued
failure to correct such a reproducible defect, gain
access to the FRx source code to correct such defect.
If PSC gains access to the source code, PSC shall
obtain a nonexclusive, personal, nontransferable,
nonassignable license, without the right to
sublicense, to use and modify the source code and
Documentation for the sole purpose of supporting its
End Users and insuring the continued distribution and
sublicensing of the Software to End Users. In the
event PSC gains access to the source code under the
provisions of this subsection, PSC's obligations to
pay license fees under Article 6 shall remain in full
force and effect; provided, however, that the license
fees payable may be reduced by the amount of
reasonable, direct costs incurred by PSC to fix or
maintain Software.
9.1(b)(2) PSC AUDIT RIGHT. FRx shall maintain a list
of identified outstanding Software defects ("PTR's")
which affect operation of the Software with PSC
Products. Such listing will be available to PSC on
FRx's Bulletin Board Service (BBS) or Internet site
and will also be provided in other form (including
electronic mail, diskette or printed document) to PSC
upon request. PSC may, not more frequently than three
times per year, audit the listing of PTR's at FRx's
facilities to determine completeness and compliance
with Exhibit G.
9.1(c) SOFTWARE UPGRADES. FRx may develop enhancements or
increased functionality to the Software defined in Exhibit A.
Such enhancements or upgrades, when and if developed, shall
be provided to PSC for distribution to End Users then
subscribing to a Support Plan for the Software at no
additional cost. Such Software Upgrades shall not be provided
to End Users that do not then participate in such a Support
Plan.
9.1(c)(1) Subject to payment by PSC of its Initial
Payment Obligation under Section 6.1 (c), PSC is
authorized to distribute Software at no additional
cost to all PSC End Users enrolled in a Support Plan
for the FRx products as of the Effective Date of this
Agreement. PSC shall be responsible for all packaging
and distribution costs.
9.1(c)(1)(1) In the event an End User has entered into
a source code escrow agreement with PSC
prior to the Effective Date that included
the PSC version of the FRx source code,
PSC shall obtain a release from such End
User that cancels PSC's obligation to
retain such source code in an escrow
account prior to distribution of Software
to such End User FRx does not assume
PSC's source code escrow
18
19
obligations, unless specifically agreed
to by FRx on a case-by-case basis.
9.1(d) FRx TRAINING SERVICES. At a mutually agreeable time,
FRx shall provide two (2) training programs for employees or
resellers designated by PSC for each major product release of
the Software. In conducting the training programs, FRx shall
provide the training instructors at no charge to PSC and PSC
shall be responsible for all reasonable travel and living
expenses incurred by FRx's training instructors while they
are attending the programs.
9.1(e) END USER TRAINING AND CONSULTING SERVICES. FRx agrees
to not actively market and solicit training and consulting
services to PSC resellers and End Users. FRx further agrees
to cooperate with PSC in providing training and consulting
services on a subcontracting basis through PSC to resellers
and/or End Users. Such services will be provided on an "as
available" basis and will compensate FRx at no less than 80%
of its standard billing rates. Notwithstanding the above,
PSC acknowledges that FRx generally markets its consulting
and training services in a manner that may be accessible to
PSC resellers and End Users, including industry publications,
FRx "Home Page" via Internet, FRx bulletin boards and other
methods. FRx is authorized to provide training and consulting
services in response to requests from PSC resellers and End
Users without compensation to PSC so long as FRx has not
intentionally marketed these services in a direct manner to
PSC resellers and End Users.
10. EFFECT ON PRIOR AGREEMENT BETWEEN PSC AND FRx
10.1 AGREEMENT FOR TRANSFER OF SOFTWARE AND MUTUAL RELEASE. PSC and FRx
entered into Agreement for Transfer of Software and Mutual Release on
July 22, 1994. Under terms of that agreement, PSC acquired rights to the
source code of a version of FRx Software which existed at that date and
accessed PSC Products ("PSC-FRx"). PSC's rights in connection with that
source code are hereby modified as provided below. In addition, other
provisions of the prior agreement are also modified to the extent that
they are inconsistent with the terms of this Agreement. By execution of

10.1(b) MODIFICATION OF OTHER PROVISIONS
10.1(b)(1) Section 4.3 of the Agreement of Transfer and
Mutual Release is modified to the extent
necessary to allow performance by FRx and PSC
of their respective obligations under this
Agreement.
10.1(b)(2) FRx and PSC agree that the performance by PSC
and FRx of their obligations under this
Agreement (i.e., PSC licensing a Stand-Alone
version of the Software) shall not be a breach
or violation of Section 4.5 of the Agreement of
Transfer and Mutual Release or an event
triggering the voiding of Section 4.3 of such
agreement
10.1(b)(2)(1) Section 4.9 regarding change of control of
PSC is modified to reflect the language in
Section 11.7 of this Agreement.
11. MISCELLANEOUS
11.1 QUARTERLY MEETINGS. Both parties agree to participate in status
meetings to be held on a quarterly basis to ensure close communication
and problem resolution in connection with this Agreement. Unless
otherwise agreed to by the parties, the meetings will rotate between
PSC's Irvine, CA offices and FRx's Denver, CO offices. Each party will
be responsible for identifying the appropriate personnel to attend such
meetings and for its own travel costs. The meetings should generally
address the status of PTRs, future product development plans for each
party and other matters arising in the course of administration of this
Agreement.
11.2 CUMULATIVE REMEDIES. Except as specifically provided herein, no
remedy made available to either party hereunder is intended to be

and, except as otherwise provided herein, their respective heirs, legal
successors and assigns.
11.8 RESTRICTIONS REGARDING SALE OR CHANGE OF CONTROL OF EITHER COMPANY.
In the event of change of control of either FRx or PSC, the terms and
conditions of this contract will remain in effect. In the event of a
change in control of PSC, the successor or surviving entity may continue
to distribute the Software as a component part of PSC products that are
substantially the same as those existing prior to the change in control
and are marketed in a similar manner at generally equivalent pricing
after the change, subject to all terms and conditions of this Agreement,
including the obligation to pay royalties and support fees pursuant to
Article 6. Such rates shall continue to apply to subsequent versions of
PSC products that represent a continuation of the general code and
architectural structure that existed prior to the change in control. The
acquiring company shall not have the right to distribute the Software in
conjunction with the its separate products , although FRx agrees to
negotiate in good faith with the acquiring company to license programs
for such separate products.

SOFTWARE PROBLEM RESOLUTION
During the term of this agreement, FRx will use all reasonable efforts to
correct defects in the Software in accordance with the schedule set forth below.
SEVERITY I ERROR: A severity I error will consist of an Error or group of Errors
that render a significant portion of the program unusable and no immediate means
of circumvention is available, or an Error in which the program is causing
damage to data files or databases. FRx will provide a circumvention to a
Severity I Error within three (3) business days and will provide a resolution
to a Severity I Error within five (5) business days.
SEVERITY II ERROR: A severity II error will consist of an Error or group of
Errors that render certain significant and fundamental features or portions of
the program unusable and no immediate means of circumvention is available. FRx
will provide a circumvention to a Severity II Error within five (5) business
days and will provide a resolution to a Severity II Error within fifteen (15)
business days.
SEVERITY III ERROR: A severity III error will consist of an Error or group of
Errors that render use of the program difficult and for which inconvenient means
of circumvention are available to the user. FRx will provide resolution to a
Severity III Error in thirty (30) business days.
SEVERITY IV ERROR: A severity IV error will consist of an Error or group of
Errors that can be easily circumvented or tolerated by the user of the Program.
FRx will provide resolution to a Severity IV Error in the next upgrade of the
program.
DETERMINATION OF TIME FRAME FOR ERROR CORRECTION.
The time in which FRx will provide a circumvention or resolution of an Error
will be measured from the later of identification of the Error through
communication from PSC, Reseller or End User or delivery to FRx of materials
required by FRx to replicate the Error. Further, should the Error be caused or
directly related to an error or design flaw in any PSC module, the time in which
FRx will provide a circumvention or resolution of an Error will be measured from
the date the error or design flaw is corrected in the related PSC module and
such corrected module is provided to FRx.
CHANGES TO PSC TABLE STRUCTURES OR FILES
Should PSC modify its data model, table structures or files in a manner that
affects the operation of FRx, the above Error correction policies will not
apply. If PSC notifies FRx prior to the change and provides FRx an opportunity
to assess and comment on the impact of such change, then FRx will use all
reasonable efforts to ensure the continued compatibility of Software with PSC
product within 60 days of receipt of all the following items: (i) written
notification of specific changes; (ii) PSC software reflecting such changes; and
(iii) a test PSC database for FRx use in testing changes to its Software. If FRx
does not receive prior notification of and an opportunity to comment on proposed
change, FRx will make a reasonable effort to accommodate change but cannot
commit to a specific time frame for completion.

Re: Platinum Software Corporation; Modifications to
Software Distribution Agreement
Dear Mike:
Platinum Software Corporation ("Platinum") and FRx Software Corporation ("FRx")
recently entered into a Software Distribution License Agreement dated as of May
9, 1996 ("License Agreement") regarding the integration of the FRx product with
Platinum's financial accounting software. I am writing to notify you that
Platinum accepts the Phase I deliverables with respect to the PSC products as
specified on Exhibit C to the License Agreement and considers Phase I to be
satisfied, subject to your agreement with the following, terms:
1. PSC and FRx agree to amend Exhibit C to the License Agreement so that under
Phase II an additional deliverable will include integration of the FRx
standard edition product with Platinum DOS Standard General Ledger, version
4.la and Platinum for Windows Standard General Ledger, versions 4.3a and
4.4a. FRx agrees to allow additional beta sites to participate in the
second beta drop, which is scheduled to be approximately two weeks after
Phase I shipping. The additional beta sites will include customers that
were previously committed by Platinum prior to FRx notifying Platinum of
beta cutoff, which includes four Platinum SQL sites and four Platinum for
Windows sites. Additional beta sites may be added upon request by Platinum
and approval by FRx. The [*] payment specified in Section 6.1(a) of the
License Agreement is modified to be due on or before July 5, 1996.
2. Section 10.1(a)(1) of the license Agreement limits Platinum's ability to
market and license the Platinum version of FRx. Notwithstanding this
clause, FRx agrees to allow Platinum to continue to license the Platinum
version of FRx with its upcoming 4.4 release Of its Platinum for Windows
product so that Platinum may meet its planned delivery dates, subject to
the agreement of Platinum to pay royalties to FRx

accordance with the License Agreement and generally available.
