the Software and Documentation have not been published under
circumstances that have caused loss of any U.S. copyright therein; and

United States (or any foreign country that is party to any bilateral or
multilateral treaty with the United States for the protection of patent

patent, trademark or trade secret, Licensor at its election may procure
for Licensee the right to continue using the same, replace or modify it
to make it non-infringing or accept its return for a refund of the
license fees paid, reduced by the fair value of the prior use thereof.
Licensor shall have no liability for, and Licensee shall indemnify and
hold Licensor harmless from and against, any claim based upon (a) use of
other than the then current, unaltered version of the Licensor Product,
unless the infringing portion is also in the then current, unaltered
release; (b) use, operation or combination of Software with non-Licensor
programs, data, equipment or documentation if such infringement would
have been avoided but for such use, operation or combination; (c)
Licensee's or its agent's activities after Licensor has notified
Licensee that Licensor believes such activities may result in such
infringement; (d) compliance with Licensee's designs, specifications or
instructions; (e) any modifications or marking of the Software not
specifically authorized in writing by Licensor; (f) Licensee's use of
any trademarks other than the Licensor trademarks for which permission
is

FAILURE OF ESSENTIAL PURPOSE OF ANY LIMITED REMEDY, OR FOR ANY CLAIM
AGAINST LICENSEE BY ANY THIRD PARTY, EXCEPT AS PROVIDED IN THE SECTION

Discontinuance, defined as follows:

i) "Software Change" is a function replacement that causes the
software to perform a stated function in a manner that deviates
from the manner stated in the Documentation.
ii) "Software Discontinuance" is an elimination of a function in the
Software without replacement by a reasonably similar function.
iii) "SignalWare(R) Adapter Change" is a replacement of a
SignalWare(R) Adapter with a different version of the
SignalWare(R) Adapter that provides reasonably similar
capabilities that manifests a deviation in form, fit or function
from the predecessor.
iv) "SignalWare(R) Adapter Discontinuance" is a discontinuance of a
SignalWare(R) Adapter without replacement by a SignalWare(R)
Adapter with reasonably similar capabilities.

Licensee shall be notified at least 90 days prior to the implementation
of a product change via a "Customer Product Change Notification (CPCN)".
If Licensee does not inform Licensor in writing within 45 days of the
issuance of the CPCN of any objections, the CPCN shall be deemed to have
been accepted by Licensee. If Licensee objects to a CPCN as previously
stated, Licensor agrees to negotiate with Licensee in good faith to
determine the terms under which the original capability could continue
to be delivered. CPCNs are also used by Licensor to inform Licensee of
emergency fixes, in these cases, the timeframes stated in this paragraph
do not apply.

Software functions subject to "Software Changes" and "Software
Discountenances" shall continue to be supported through the support
period (as defined in Attachment D) of the subsequent Major Release made
Generally Available (GA) following the product change implementation.

Licensee shall be offered the opportunity to place a one time "last buy"
within 45 days following the issuance of the CPCN, subject to component
availability, for SignalWare(R) Adapters subject to a "SignalWare(R)
Adapter Change". Licensee may continue to purchase SignalWare(R)
Adapters subject to a "SignalWare(R) Adapter Discontinuance" for a
period of one (1) year from the date of issuance of the CPCN. At least
60 days prior to the end of the one (1) year period previously stated,
Licensee may place a one time "last buy, subject to component
availability, for SignalWare(R) Adapters subject to a "SignalWare(R)
Adapter Discontinuance".

14.2 NOTICES. Any notice, request, demand or other communication required or
permitted hereunder shall be in writing and shall be deemed to be
properly given upon the earliest of (a) actual receipt by the address,
(b) five (5) business days after deposit in the mail, postage prepaid,
when mailed by registered or certified airmail, return receipt
requested, or (c) two (2) business days after being sent via private

arrangement established by the Licensor providing a similar effect. In
either case, all costs to establish and maintain the escrow shall be
borne by Licensee. Such agreement shall provide for the release of the
source code:

i) if Licensee is entitled to terminate this Agreement pursuant to
Section 13.2 (Bankruptcy) due to the bankruptcy or insolvency of
Licensor;
ii) if Licensor discontinues to make available maintenance and
support for the current version of the Software; or
iii) if Licensor discontinues the Software with replacement.

Notwithstanding the occurrence of any of the events specified in items
i, ii or iii above, Licensor or its escrow agent will not be required to
deliver the requested Source Code to Licensee if Licensor has made
arrangements for the continued maintenance of the Software.

Licensee may use the Source Code received pursuant to this section only
as necessary to modify, maintain and update the Software for Licensee
products and must be treated as Confidential Information. Receipt by
Licensee of the Source Code pursuant to this section does not in any way
convey title or ownership of the Software, nor does it relieve Licensee
from the payment of license fees specified in Attachment B.

default under any provision of this Agreement shall not be construed as
a waiver of any subsequent breach of the same or any other provision of
