ARTICLE VII - ORDERING AND DELIVERY 7.1 With one exception, NTI may, but shall not be obligated to, issue ORDERS during the TERM. Regardless of other considerations, NTI shall issue an ORDER for RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES as specifically enumerated in paragraph 1 of Schedule F no later than GENERAL AVAILABILITY. ORDERS may also be issued directly by one or more NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES that have been sublicensed by NTI pursuant to the terms of Section 5.9 of the AGREEMENT. In the event NTI provides VOICETEK with a forecast or estimate of the quantity Page 13 12 that may be ordered, whether set forth in Schedule B or otherwise, VOICETEK acknowledges that NTI shall not be obligated to submit an ORDER for any portion of such forecast or estimate. 7.2 VOICETEK shall accept any ORDER issued by NTI, provided such ORDER is consistent with the AGREEMENT. The AGREEMENT shall continue to apply to any ORDER issued during the TERM until all obligations herein are performed. The terms and conditions of the AGREEMENT shall supersede any preprinted terms and conditions appearing on any purchase order form used by NTI and/or any NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY and/or MANUFACTURING LICENSEE. 7.3 An ORDER shall reference the AGREEMENT and shall set forth a description of the following: (a) PRODUCTS and/or TRAINING MATERIALS and/or TRAINING PROGRAMS ordered, (b) price, (c) DELIVERY LOCATION, (d) the location where the invoice shall be rendered for payment, (e) method of shipment, (f) quantity and (g) SHIPMENT DATE. 7.4 Within two (2) business days of the date of VOICETEK's receipt of an ORDER or an ORDER RELEASE or a modification by NTI to ORDERS or ORDER RELEASES, VOICETEK shall either provide verbal confirmation of the SHIPMENT DATE or propose an alternate SHIPMENT DATE. Any verbal confirmations issued by VOICETEK pursuant to this Section 7.4 shall be followed up by a written or electronic acknowledgment within ten (10) calendar days of the date of VOICETEK's receipt of such ORDER or ORDER RELEASE and/or modifications thereto. If VOICETEK fails to respond, it shall be deemed to have agreed to the SHIPMENT DATE and/or modification(s) set forth by NTI. If VOICETEK proposes an alternate SHIPMENT DATE, then NTI shall within two (2) business days of its receipt of notice of such alternate SHIPMENT DATE notify VOICETEK that either such alternate SHIPMENT DATE is acceptable or that such ORDER or ORDER RELEASE is canceled. Notwithstanding the above, VOICETEK shall comply with any SHIPMENT DATE specified by NTI which is to occur on or after the end of the MAXIMUM DELIVERY PERIOD. 7.5 An ORDER or an ORDER RELEASE may not be delivered in partial shipments unless otherwise specified by NTI. In the event VOICETEK fails to ship (or present in the case of TRAINING PROGRAMS) PRODUCTS and/or TRAINING MATERIALS and/or TRAINING PROGRAMS by the SHIPMENT DATE, NTI may cancel, without charge, the ORDER or ORDER RELEASE, as the case may be, or applicable portion thereof, seven (7) calendar days following the SHIPMENT DATE therefor. 7.6 Except as provided in Subsection 7.6.1 below, NTI may, without charge, postpone the SHIPMENT DATE for an ORDER or an ORDER RELEASE at any time during the RESCHEDULING PERIOD applicable to such ORDER or ORDER RELEASE. If NTI cancels an ORDER or an ORDER RELEASE during the CANCELLATION PERIOD for such ORDER or ORDER RELEASE there shall be no charge to NTI, except as provided in Subsection 7.6.1 below. No cancellations shall occur after a CANCELLATION PERIOD unless mutually agreed upon by the parties. 7.6.1 The following PRODUCTS are excepted out from the rescheduling and cancellation rights afforded to NTI in Section 7.6: Order Code Product Description ---------- ------------------- HL-5250-HW-S 5250 Synchronous Interface (SSI HW & SW) HL-5250-HW-TR 5250 Token Ring Interface (SSI HW & SW) HL-3270-HW-S 3270 Synchronous Interface (SSI HW & SW) HL-3270-HW-TR 3270 Token Ring Interface (SSI HW & SW) HCOM-SC08-VT100 VT100 for 8 ports on the PC HCOM-SC016-VT100 VT100 for 16 ports on the PC HCOM-SC032-VT100 VT100 for 32 ports on the PC 17-852066-02 2 Channel Fax Option 17-852066-01 4 Channel Fax Option 17-852066-00 8 Channel Fax Option 17-852062-00 DMX Option PMT-000-NT Notch Filter PAGE 14 13 Order Code Product Description ---------- ------------------- TTS-04-LH TTS 4-port Assembly 17-852072-00 Audio Interface Unit PT-30-E1 E1 Interface Card (Aculab) Also, single orders for 15 or more Rackmount units or 30 or more Tower units will not be candidates for unlimited rescheduling or cancellation without charge. 7.7 During the RESCHEDULING PERIOD NTI may modify ORDERS and/or ORDER RELEASES and VOICETEK shall confirm such ORDERS and/or ORDER RELEASES at the prices set forth in the AGREEMENT. 7.8 Upon providing VOICETEK at least thirty (30) days notice prior to the end of the TERM, NTI shall have the right to extend the TERM for the OPTION PERIOD, in which event NTI and VOICETEK shall have the rights and obligations in the AGREEMENT during the OPTION PERIOD, including, without limitation, NTI's right to purchase at the prices and applicable discount levels set forth or incorporated by reference, as the case may be, in Schedules B, D, E and/or G, the last of which is attached hereto and is by this reference made a part of the AGREEMENT. 7.9 Except in the case of a change for health or safety reasons, VOICETEK shall notify NTI at least one hundred twenty (120) days prior to implementing any change which affects the form, fit or function of any STANDARD PRODUCTS. Changes which do not affect form, fit or function, and changes made to HARDWARE PRODUCTS for health or safety reasons may be implemented at any time. In the event a change to HARDWARE PRODUCTS is made for health or safety reasons, VOICETEK shall retrofit NTI's existing inventory of such HARDWARE PRODUCTS purchased from VOICETEK, free of charge, with such retrofit being limited to the replacement of the specific item that is deemed to be the cause of the retrofit. Unless a change is designed by VOICETEK to eliminate or reduce a safety or health hazard, NTI, at its option, may issue ORDERS or ORDER RELEASES under the terms and conditions of the AGREEMENT for such PRODUCTS as they existed prior to the change in form, fit or function, for a period of at least one hundred eighty (180) days following the date of NTI's receipt of VOICETEK's change notification. ARTICLE VIII - PRICE, PAYMENT AND RISK OF LOSS 8.1 Prices for PRODUCTS, RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES, TRAINING MATERIALS and TRAINING PROGRAMS, respectively, purchased and/or licensed hereunder shall be list price according to the then current PRICE LIST or the prices set forth in Schedule E, as the case may be, less the current discount level where applicable as established in Schedule 1, which is attached hereto and is by this reference made a part of the AGREEMENT. 8.2 Special pricing for PRODUCTS, RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES, TRAINING MATERIALS and TRAINING PROGRAMS, respectively, purchased and/or licensed hereunder which may or may not be included in the then current PRICE LIST shall be as indicated in Schedule E. 8.3 Prices for SYSTEMS, RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES, TRAINING MATERIALS and TRAINING PROGRAMS, respectively, for internal use by NTI, NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES or MANUFACTURING LICENSEES shall be as set forth in Schedule D and shall be applicable only up to a total quantity of twenty-five (25) SYSTEMS. The allocation of SYSTEMS for internal use by NTI, NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES and/or MANUFACTURING LICENSEES shall be as directed by the NTI contact designated in Section 26.2. 8.4 Subject to any applicable discount as enumerated in Schedule 1, prices for (i) products and/or services, and (ii) right-to-use fees not enumerated in Schedule B, Schedule D and/or Schedule E shall be as mutually agreed upon by the parties prior to the time NTI issues ORDERS and/or ORDER RELEASES therefor. Page 15 14 8.5 Prices and license fees set forth in Schedules B, D, and/or E or otherwise agreed upon pursuant to Section 8.4 are (a) in U.S. dollars and shall apply during the TERM; (b) exclusive of any applicable excise and sales taxes now existing or hereafter imposed by any applicable taxing authority; (c) exclusive of the transportation charges and duty applicable between the SHIPPING LOCATION and the DELIVERY LOCATION; and (d) inclusive of all other taxes, transportation charges, duties and charges for packaging and handling. Such taxes, transportation charges and duty for which NTI is liable shall be separately stated on the invoice. VOICETEK agrees not to assess any applicable excise or sales tax where NTI furnishes VOICETEK a tax exemption certificate, a certificate of authority, a direct pay permit and/or any equivalent acceptable to the applicable taxing authority. 8.6 VOICETEK may issue invoices to NTI, NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES and MANUFACTURING LICENSEES, respectively, issuing ORDERS and/or ORDER RELEASES for PRODUCTS and/or TRAINING MATERIALS upon consignment to the carrier designated by NTI for such PRODUCTS and/or TRAINING MATERIALS. [*] 8.7 VOICETEK may issue invoices to NTI, NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES or MANUFACTURING LICENSEES, respectively, issuing ORDERS and/or ORDER RELEASES for RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES and/or TRAINING PROGRAMS at the beginning of an ANNUAL SUPPORT SERVICES PERIOD and, in the case of TRAINING PROGRAMS, upon presentation of such TRAINING PROGRAMS. [*] 8.8 For copies of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS manufactured by NTI, NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES and MANUFACTURING LICENSEES, respectively, VOICETEK shall, upon receipt of quarterly notices from a copying location, as set forth in Section 9.1, invoice such copying location for the total amount of per copy fees due, if any, for the period covered by the notice. Any MANUFACTURING LICENSEE copying location shall be required to report its activity to the NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY by which it was sublicensed to make copies of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS in sufficient time to enable such NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY to include the details of such activity in its quarterly notice to VOICETEK. [*] ARTICLE IX - REPORTS; AUDITS 9.1 Within fifteen (15) calendar days after the end of each calendar quarter, each copying location will send to VOICETEK a written report summarizing its internal use and its external distribution of copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS in object form manufactured under the AGREEMENT. Each quarterly report will specify: (a) The total number of copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS by individual product in object form made and distributed during the reporting period by a copying location for any of the following purposes: - for internal use by NTI, or by NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES or MANUFACTURING LICENSEES granted manufacturing rights directly or indirectly by such copying location; - for distribution by a copying location directly to end users; - for distribution by a copying location for further distribution by NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES, by MANUFACTURING LICENSEES or by AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS to end users. Page 16 CONFIDENTIAL MATERIAL OMITTED AND FILED SEPARATELY WITH THE SECURITIES AND EXCHANGE COMMISSION. ASTERISKS DENOTE OMISSIONS 15 (b) The total amount of license fees due to VOICETEK for the reporting period from the copying location submitting the report, which shall be determined by multiplying the total number of copies reported under Section 9.1 a) by the applicable license fee(s) referenced in Article VIII. 9.2 Upon VOICETEK's written request, NTI will, not more frequently than once during each twelve (12) month period of the AGREEMENT, cause an authorized representative of NTI to certify to VOICETEK the accuracy of the quarterly reporting of the number of copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS in object form made by NTI, NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES and MANUFACTURING LICENSEES for distribution to customers or to internal use sites during such twelve (12) month period. Further, upon VOICETEK's written request, NTI will permit, at the end of each twelve (12) month period of the AGREEMENT, a mutually acceptable independent certified public accountant paid by VOICETEK to examine the necessary books and records of NTI to audit such quarterly reporting, provided such accountant shall undertake in writing with NTI to protect the confidentiality of the business data and records of NTI and to disclose to VOICETEK only the accuracy or inaccuracy of the reporting hereunder. In the event an audit reveals a discrepancy between what is properly due to VOICETEK and what has been reported and paid to VOICETEK, and such discrepancy results in a shortfall in the amounts paid to VOICETEK that is both (i) a minimum of twenty (20) units, and (ii) at least ten percent (10%) of the amount actually due to VOICETEK for the twelve (12) months covered by the audit, then in addition to full payment by NTI of such shortfall NTI shall reimburse VOICETEK for all reasonable and customary costs incurred by VOICETEK related to such audit. 9.3 For all MANUFACTURING LICENSEES that are authorized by NTI or a NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY to make copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS in object form, NTI shall either: (i) retain for itself, or require that the NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY granting rights to a MANUFACTURING LICENSEE retain, the right to audit the books and records of any such MANUFACTURING LICENSEE; or (ii) require that the MANUFACTURING LICENSEE agree, in writing, to permit, upon the written request of VOICETEK to NTI, a mutually acceptable independent certified public accountant paid by NTI or such MANUFACTURING LICENSEE to examine the necessary books and records of any such MANUFACTURING LICENSEE, provided that such accountant shall undertake in writing to such MANUFACTURING LICENSEE to protect the confidentiality of the business data and records of such MANUFACTURING LICENSEE and to disclose to VOICETEK only the accuracy or inaccuracy of the reporting required hereunder. Where such audits are requested by VOICETEK, they shall be arranged through NTI. In no event shall the identities of any MANUFACTURING LICENSEE and/or end-users be disclosed to VOICETEK. ARTICLE X - SOFTWARE PERFORMANCE WARRANTY 10.1 VOICETEK warrants that, during the WARRANTY PERIOD, SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, as delivered to NTI (i) will be compatible with and will operate in accordance with VOICETEK's then most current USER DOCUMENTATION delivered with SOFTWARE PRODUCTS for the then most recent release of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, and (ii) to the best of VOICETEK's knowledge, shall be substantially free of CRITICAL PROBLEMS and SERIOUS PROBLEMS, and (iii) that the accompanying USER DOCUMENTATION shall be substantively complete and accurate. Page 17 16 10.2 During the WARRANTY PERIOD for SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, VOICETEK shall provide to NTI promptly, upon release by VOICETEK, a copy of all corresponding POINT RELEASES and UPDATES. 10.3 During the WARRANTY PERIOD, VOICETEK shall provide unlimited telephone support between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday through Friday (EDT or EST, as applicable) to the SUPPORT ORGANIZATION for SOFTWARE PRODUCTS. VOICETEK's telephone "hotline" shall be staffed by technical personnel with a detailed, working knowledge of the PRODUCTS. VOICETEK shall make all reasonable efforts to have each call made on the "hotline" returned by a qualified technical expert possessing the ability to discuss the details of problems as follows: (a) CRITICAL PROBLEMS = less than 30 minutes; (b) SERIOUS PROBLEMS = less than 2 hours; (c) MINOR PROBLEMS = less than 2 days; VOICETEK shall issue a call number to each problem reported by NTI. A bug report must contain sufficient information, on machine readable media if possible, for VOICETEK to reproduce the bug on VOICETEK premises. As a follow-up to any bug reports the SUPPORT ORGANIZATION may issue verbally to VOICETEK through the telephone "hotline," the SUPPORT ORGANIZATION shall provide such bug report details in writing to VOICETEK in a timely manner. VOICETEK's telephone "hotline' support shall be available for unlimited use by the SUPPORT ORGANIZATION for the PRODUCTS during the WARRANTY PERIOD. 10.4 Upon receiving notice from NTI of a bug or error in any SOFTWARE PRODUCTS during the WARRANTY PERIOD therefor, VOICETEK shall verbally acknowledge receipt of such notice. A bug report must contain sufficient information, on machine-readable media if possible, for VOICETEK to reproduce the bug on VOICETEK premises. VOICETEK's acknowledgment shall contain a unique number identifying the particular bug or error for tracking purposes. VOICETEK shall provide NTI with a status on any bug or error logged for NTI, provided that NTI identifies the particular bug or error by the tracking number assigned to it by VOICETEK. NTI may make inquiries regarding the status of any bug or error logged for NTI either orally or in writing. VOICETEK shall provide NTI with a response (i) verbally via the SUPPORT ORGANIZATION, or (ii) in writing, by number, describing the closing resolution of the bug or error, including the projected date that the necessary fix will be released and the nature of any known workaround. Each bug or error logged for NTI shall remain open until closure notification is received by NTI. 10.5 Patches or workarounds, made to fix reliability or specific performance deficiencies not reported by NTI in SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, may be made by VOICETEK when required, and, upon request, shall be either delivered to NTI within fourteen (14) days or made available to NTI through electronic means or electronic bulletin board (BBS) (e.g. Compuserve, Internet), if requested. Each patch and/or workaround requires a written description of the problem that the patch and/or workaround addresses and the requisite installation procedure. 10.6 VOICETEK shall make all reasonable efforts to provide a workaround or resolution for SOFTWARE PRODUCTS and any associated changes to the accompanying USER DOCUMENTATION, or MODIFIED USER DOCUMENTATION as applicable according to the following schedule: (a) CRITICAL PROBLEMS - within twenty-four (24) hours of receipt of notice of existence from NTI; (b) SERIOUS PROBLEMS - within five (5) days of receipt of notice of existence from NTI; (c) MINOR PROBLEMS - fixed in the next POINT RELEASE or UPDATE issued by VOICETEK. The parties acknowledge and understand the potentially idiosyncratic nature of any bug or error in SOFTWARE PRODUCTS. Recognizing this, the turnaround times set forth previously in this Page 18 17 Section 10.6 constitute targeted goals of warranty services to be provided by VOICETEK to NTI. Repetitive failure to meet these targeted goals, as implied by the language of Section 10.7, is required before NTI is entitled to pursue its remedies as set forth in Section 10.7 and/or Article XVIII of the AGREEMENT. Sporadic failures by VOICETEK to meet or beat these targeted turnaround times do not constitute a default on the AGREEMENT. 10.7 In the event that, while NTI is receiving services under Article X for any SOFTWARE PRODUCTS from VOICETEK during a WARRANTY PERIOD, VOICETEK repeatedly fails to perform its obligations (after written notice to VOICETEK to such effect and specification of the nature of such failures) or VOICETEK unilaterally decides to discontinue warranty support for one or more SOFTWARE PRODUCTS so as to seriously jeopardize the ability of NTI to support the use of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS by NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES, MANUFACTURING LICENSEES, AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS and/or end-user customers, then NTI shall have the right, after giving notice of its intentions to VOICETEK, to send one (1) or more qualified engineering personnel to VOICETEK's facilities, where such personnel shall have access to the source code form of the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS to which the failure to receive required warranty support pertains, the remaining SOURCE CODE MATERIALS related to such SOFTWARE PRODUCTS and the assistance of VOICETEK's engineering personnel in connection with such failure. VOICETEK's and NTI's engineering personnel shall have sixty (60) days from the date of arrival of the NTI engineering personnel to remedy the consequences of failure to receive the required warranty services from VOICETEK. Access to the source code form of any SOFTWARE PRODUCTS and the remaining SOURCE CODE MATERIALS related to such SOFTWARE PRODUCTS granted to NTI's engineering personnel pursuant to this Section 10.7 shall not include the right to retain any copies thereof upon leaving VOICETEK's facilities. 10.8 All notifications required pursuant to this Article X, except those sent pursuant to Section 10.7 shall be sent to NTI at the address set forth for other communications in Section 26.1. 10.9 VOICETEK has established a written formal escalation procedure, as set forth in Schedule J, which is attached hereto and is by this reference made a part of the AGREEMENT, that identifies contact persons and telephone numbers within VOICETEK's management that NTI may notify in the event VOICETEK personnel fail to: (a) provide a response within two (2) hours to a CRITICAL PROBLEM and/or a SERIOUS PROBLEM; (b) provide a workaround or resolution within twenty-four (24) hours to a CRITICAL PROBLEM; (c) deliver a workaround or resolution that fixes a SERIOUS PROBLEM within five (5) days. 10.10 The exclusive remedy of NTI or a NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY and the sole measure of recoverable damage by NTI or a NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY for breach of the performance warranty on SOFTWARE PRODUCTS is, in VOICETEK's sole discretion, to provide NTI with (i) instructions for curing such nonconformity, or (ii) updated versions of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS which are free of such nonconformity, or (iii) a functionally equivalent software package which is free of such nonconformity and which, following delivery, will be regarded as a particular STANDARD SOFTWARE PRODUCT and/or MODIFIED SOFTWARE PRODUCT under the AGREEMENT. In the event VOICETEK is unable to accomplish (i), (ii) and/or (iii) above, it shall accept a return of the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS in question and fully refund to NTI the license and/or sublicense fees paid therefor pursuant to Article VIII. ARTICLE XI - HARDWARE PERFORMANCE WARRANTY 11.1 VOICETEK warrants to NTI (or a NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY) that each unit of HARDWARE PRODUCTS as delivered by VOICETEK hereunder will, under normal use and service, be free from defects in materials and workmanship during the WARRANTY PERIOD and shall conform to the SPECIFICATIONS in effect on the SHIPMENT DATE. VOICETEK's sole obligation and NTI's sole remedy under this HARDWARE performance warranty are limited to the Page 19 18 repair or replacement, at VOICETEK's option, of the defective HARDWARE PRODUCTS. VOICETEK's obligation and NTI's remedy under this Section 11.1 are conditioned upon: (a) VOICETEK's receipt of written notice of a defect in HARDWARE PRODUCTS from NTI within the WARRANTY PERIOD; and (b) the HARDWARE PRODUCTS not having been altered or repaired BY others without VOICETEK's written consent except in cases where NTI purchases hardware not manufactured BY VOICETEK direct from VOICETEK's suppliers) and such direct purchase and installation is undertaken by NTI or NTI's qualified technicians; and (c) the alleged defect not being the result of mishandling, improper servicing or improper operation (including use in conjunction with hardware electrically or mechanically incompatible). This warranty shall survive inspection, acceptance and payment. 11.2 VOICETEK warrants to NTI and/or NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES that all HARDWARE PRODUCTS shipped pursuant to the AGREEMENT will be manufactured and/or assembled from new and unused components. 11.3 No HARDWARE PRODUCTS shall be returned to VOICETEK without VOICETEK's authorization pursuant to an RMA issued by VOICETEK's designated repair coordinator. The costs and risk of loss associated with shipping defective HARDWARE PRODUCTS to VOICETEK's factory shall be borne by NTI, a NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY or MANUFACTURING LICENSEE. Costs and risk of loss associated with returning repaired or replacement HARDWARE PRODUCTS to NTI or a NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY or MANUFACTURING LICENSEE shall be borne by VOICETEK. VOICETEK shall return the repaired HARDWARE PRODUCTS or a replacement within the WARRANTY REPAIR PERIOD. In all cases, an RMA shall be issued within one (1) business day of a request therefor by NTI or a NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY or MANUFACTURING LICENSEE. 11.4 In the event NTI or a NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY or MANUFACTURING LICENSEE contacts VOICETEK and requests an RMA, and the defective HARDWARE PRODUCTS are circuit boards under warranty, VOICETEK shall upon request by NTI, NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES or MANUFACTURING LICENSEES ship replacement boards within twenty-four (24) hours to the requesting office of NTI or NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES or MANUFACTURING LICENSEES or AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS, as the case may be. In the event the original boards are not received by VOICETEK within ten (10) calendar days, VOICETEK shall have the right to invoice the NTI, NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANY or MANUFACTURING LICENSEE location requesting the replacement boards. ARTICLE XII - LIMITATION OF WARRANTY 12.1 EXCEPT IN THE CASE OF WARRANTIES OF OWNERSHIP SET FORTH IN ARTICLE II, THE WARRANTIES SET FORTH IN ARTICLE X AND ARTICLE XI OF THE AGREEMENT ARE MADE TO AND FOR THE BENEFIT OF NTI ONLY, EXCEPT THAT VOICETEK ACKNOWLEDGES THAT NTI SHALL RELY UPON SUCH WARRANTIES IN PROVIDING WARRANTIES TO NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES, MANUFACTURING LICENSEES, AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS AND END-USER CUSTOMERS. SUCH WARRANTIES CONSTITUTE THE ONLY LIABILITIES OF VOICETEK FOR BREACH OF WARRANTY AND ARE IN LIEU OF ALL OTHER WARRANTIES, WRITTEN OR ORAL, STATUTORY, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED IN REGARD TO STANDARD PRODUCTS AND/OR MODIFIED PRODUCTS, INCLUDING THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE WHICH ARE HEREBY DISCLAIMED BY VOICETEK AND EXCLUDED FROM THE AGREEMENT. ARTICLE XIII - RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES 13.1 Upon payment of the requisite annual fee by NTI, VOICETEK shall provide RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES to NTI for an ANNUAL SUPPORT SERVICES PERIOD in accordance with Page 20 19 the terms and conditions of the support program set forth in Schedule F. RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES shall not include support for application development which is available at standard rates as described in the PRICE LIST. 13.2 In consideration of the provision of RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES, NTI shall pay VOICETEK in accordance with the RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES pricing structure set forth in Schedule F. 13.3 During an ANNUAL SUPPORT SERVICES PERIOD for which NTI has paid the requisite annual fee, VOICETEK shall provide RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES with respect to the current VERSION RELEASE and for the last two (2) VERSION RELEASES immediately prior to the current one. 13.4 From time to time VOICETEK may develop corrections, enhancements and major improvements to SOFTWARE PRODUCTS. After the WARRANTY PERIOD has expired and in the event NTI does not request and pay for RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES, then VOICETEK shall be under no obligation to issue any further POINT RELEASES and UPDATES to NTI. However, promptly upon issuance of any such POINT RELEASES and UPDATES by VOICETEK to any licensee holding a license similar in scope to the AGREEMENT, VOICETEK shall offer such POINT RELEASES and UPDATES to NTI. 13.5 Fees for POINT RELEASES and UPDATES shall be included in the annual fee paid by NTI for an ANNUAL SUPPORT SERVICES PERIOD, but in the event NTI has elected not to purchase RESELLER SUPPORT SERVICES, then the applicable fee for POINT RELEASES and UPDATES shall be as specified in Schedule B or as otherwise agreed upon in writing by VOICETEK and NTI. Each POINT RELEASE and UPDATE shall be regarded as the applicable SOFTWARE PRODUCT as denoted in the PRICE LIST or elsewhere, and shall upon release to NTI be subject to all of the terms and conditions of the AGREEMENT. ARTICLE XIV - ACCEPTANCE 14.1 The acceptance of PRODUCTS is subject to inspection at the DELIVERY LOCATION and such acceptance shall be deemed to occur thirty (30) days after receipt of such PRODUCTS at the DELIVERY LOCATION unless NTI shall have provided VOICETEK with notice of nonacceptance within such period. 14.2 HARDWARE PRODUCTS will be inspected by NTI for major defects, with major defect being defined as (i) any functional failure, or (ii) a workmanship defect that is highly likely to cause infant mortality or significantly reduced product life, or (iii) a cosmetic or visual defect that is highly likely to cause the customer to request a replacement unit. 14.3 SOFTWARE PRODUCTS will be inspected by NTI for major defects, with major defects being defined as (i) SOFTWARE PRODUCTS missing labels, or (ii) SOFTWARE PRODUCTS with labels lacking accurate information as to the identity and POINT RELEASE, UPDATE or VERSION RELEASE contained therein, or (iii) defective media. 14.4 It any unit of PRODUCT does not conform to the requirements of an ORDER or an ORDER RELEASE or to the warranties set forth in Articles X and XI, as determined by NTI's inspection pursuant to the terms stated in Section 14.2 and Section 14.3, the entire quantity delivered with such PRODUCT may be returned to VOICETEK at VOICETEK's expense, subject to failure verification by VOICETEK, unless the only defect found by NTI's inspection pursuant to the terms of Section 14.3 is a quantity of media with labels missing in which case NTI shall work with VOICETEK to obtain such label(s) without returning the entire quantity of PRODUCTS to VOICETEK. Payment shall neither be deemed to constitute acceptance nor be a waiver to NTI's right to cancel any ORDER or ORDER RELEASE. ARTICLE XV - INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INFRINGEMENT INDEMNITY 15.1 VOICETEK shall defend, indemnify and hold NTI, NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES, MANUFACTURING LICENSEES and AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS receiving rights directly or Page 21 20 indirectly (from NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES, MANUFACTURING LICENSEES and/or AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS) through NTI harmless from any and all claims, costs, expenses, damages or other liability, including reasonable and customary attorneys' fees, which is the result of patent, trademark or copyright infringement claims or claims based on misappropriation OF trade secret rights arising out of or relating to the use, copying or distribution of any of the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS in the AUTHORIZED TERRITORY or damages resulting from use of the MARKS in connection with such distribution in the AUTHORIZED TERRITORY. NTI, NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES, MANUFACTURING LICENSEES and/or AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS shall notify VOICETEK promptly, in writing, In the event of any such claim, and grant to VOICETEK the right, at VOICETEK's expense, to control the defense thereof, including the sole right to settle any such claim or suit on such terms as VOICETEK shall deem desirable.

Upon receipt of written notice, VOICETEK or its trustee or receiver in bankruptcy, as the case may be, shall immediately and forthwith deliver SOURCE CODE MATERIALS, including specifically the source code form of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, to NTI. NTI shall have the right to use, make bug fixes in and recompile the source code form of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS and the right to distribute object code copies of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS to customers in the AUTHORIZED TERRITORY, either directly or through NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES, MANUFACTURING LICENSEES and AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS, provided NTI pays to VOICETEK right-to-use fees for such SOFTWARE PRODUCTS at the prices set forth in Schedule B or Schedule E, subject to application of the applicable discount levels set forth in Schedule H. VOICETEK hereby agrees and acknowledges that either the failure of VOICETEK or its trustee or receiver in bankruptcy to deliver all SOURCE CODE MATERIALS, including specifically the source code form of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS hereunder or, in the event SOURCE CODE MATERIALS for SOFTWARE PRODUCTS are deposited in escrow, affirmative actions or omissions by VOICETEK in any way hindering the release of SOURCE CODE MATERIALS from escrow will cause irreparable harm to NTI for which there is no adequate remedy at law and, therefore, NTI shall be entitled to specific performance of such delivery obligation and, in addition, and without being an election of remedies, NTI may pursue each and every remedy available at law or in equity; Page 25 24 (iii) In the event VOICETEK's Section 18.1(b) default is resolved in such a way that VOICETEK resumes its operations as they pertain to NTI in a manner substantially equivalent to its operations prior to the occurrence of such default, NTI shall promptly return the source code form of SOFTWARE PRODUCTS and the other SOURCE CODE MATERIALS made available to NTI by VOICETEK solely pursuant to Section 18.2(b), Section 18.3(ii) and/or Section 19.2, but not otherwise. 18.4 In the event the AGREEMENT is terminated by VOICETEK for default by NTI, VOICETEK shall permit NTI to retain limited rights to use the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS thereafter for up to one (1) year following the date of termination of the AGREEMENT by VOICETEK in order to allow NTI to satisfy its then existing contractual obligations for support for SOFTWARE PRODUCTS to NORTHERN TELECOM COMPANIES, MANUFACTURING LICENSEES, AUTHORIZED DISTRIBUTORS and end-user customers. Exceptions to VOICETEK's obligation to permit NTI to continue to exercise such limited rights shall include the case where such default by NTI relates to the payment of applicable prices or license fees, as set forth in Sections 8.1 through 8.8 inclusive, which are not reasonably in dispute, or any obligation that would unreasonably jeopardize VOICETEK's intellectual property rights in one or more SOFTWARE PRODUCTS or VOICETEK's confidential information in which event only the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS to which intellectual property rights in jeopardy and/or VOICETEK's confidential information pertain would not be subject to the continued exercise of limited rights by NTI. The limited rights to use the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS, as provided in this Section 18.4, shall survive the termination or expiration of the AGREEMENT for up to one (1) year. 18.5 Subject to the provisions of Section 18.3 and Section 18.4, respectively, it is understood that, upon termination of the AGREEMENT, NTI shall, within thirty (30) days following such termination, destroy its copies of the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS and any whole or partial reproductions thereof in any form, and all materials related to the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS which are still under the control of NTI, and so certify in writing to VOICETEK, except that NTI may retain a sufficient number of copies of such SOFTWARE PRODUCTS as is reasonably necessary for NTI to fulfill its contractual obligations, as set forth in Section 18.4. ARTICLE XIX - SOURCE CODE ESCROW OPTION 19.1 NTI shall, in its sole discretion, have the option to require that the SOURCE CODE MATERIALS (excluding those not proprietary to VOICETEK unless the right to deposit them in escrow has been granted to VOICETEK by VOICETEK's suppliers) for any or all SOFTWARE PRODUCTS be deposited in escrow. If requested by NTI, the parties shall, in good faith, negotiate the selection of a fair, impartial and competent escrow agent and deposit the SOURCE CODE MATERIALS for any or all SOFTWARE PRODUCTS in escrow for the benefit of NTI or, if such SOURCE CODE MATERIALS were previously deposited by VOICETEK, designate NTI as a registered beneficiary. The express purpose for depositing the SOURCE CODE MATERIALS in escrow or designating NTI as a registered beneficiary, as the case may be, shall be to secure a means of access to all materials reasonably necessary or useful in enabling NTI to maintain, modify, enhance and/or support the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS in order to maintain the functionality of the SOFTWARE PRODUCTS with limited assistance or without assistance from VOICETEK. In any event, NTI shall pay the costs and expenses assessed for the deposit of any SOURCE CODE MATERIALS not proprietary to VOICETEK into escrow. In no event shall NTI be required to pay more than the proportionate costs and expenses attributable to the deposit of VOICETEK's proprietary SOURCE CODE MATERIALS into escrow, if all or any portion of VOICETEK's proprietary SOURCE CODE MATERIALS have been, or during the TERM are, deposited into escrow at the request of and for the benefit of any third party. 19.2 In the event VOICETEK is or becomes insolvent, or a party to any bankruptcy or receivership proceeding or any similar action affecting the financial condition of VOICETEK, or seeks to make a compromise, arrangement or assignment for the benefit of its creditors, or ceases doing business in the normal course, and NTI provides written notice to VOICETEK, as required by Section 18.3(ii), NTI shall be given access to and rights to use the SOURCE CODE MATERIALS held in escrow, beginning ten (10) days after receipt by VOICETEK of NTI's written notice demanding access to such SOURCE CODE MATERIALS.

("NTI") TELECOMMUNICATIONS PRODUCTS THIS LEGAL DOCUMENT IS A LICENSE AGREEMENT ("LICENSE") BETWEEN YOU, THE END-USER ("CUSTOMER") AND NORTHERN TELECOM INC. ("NTI"). BY OPENING THE SEALED DISK PACKAGE WHICH CONTAINS THE SOFTWARE DISKETTE(S), OR BY EXECUTING A CONTRACT FOR PURCHASE OF A SYSTEM WHICH INCORPORATES THIS USER SOFTWARE AGREEMENT, YOU, THE CUSTOMER, AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THE TERMS OF THIS LICENSE. Subject to the terms hereinafter set forth, NTI grants to CUSTOMER and/or representatives, with a "need to know," a personal, non-exclusive license (1) to use certain Licensed Software, proprietary to NTI or its suppliers, contained as an integral part of the Hardware; and (2) to install and use each item of Licensed Software not an integral part of the Hardware; and (3) to use the associated documentation. CUSTOMER is granted no title or ownership rights, in or to the Licensed Software, in whole or in part, and CUSTOMER acknowledges that title to and all copyrights, patents, trade secrets and/or any other intellectual property rights to and in all such Licensed Software and associated documentation are and shall remain the property of NTI and/or NTI's suppliers. The right to use Licensed Software may be restricted by a measure of usage of applications based upon number of lines, number of ports, number of terminal numbers assigned, number of users, or some similar measure. Expansion beyond the specified usage level may require payment of an incremental charge or another license fee. NTI considers the Licensed Software to contain "trade secrets" of NTI and/or its suppliers. Such "trade secrets" include, without limitation thereto, the specific design, structure and logic of individual Licensed Software programs, their interactions with other portions of Licensed Software, both internal and external, and the programming techniques employed therein. In order to maintain the "trade secret" status of the information contained within the Licensed Software, the Licensed Software is being delivered to CUSTOMER in object code form only. NTI or any of its suppliers holding any intellectual property rights in any Licensed Software, and/or any third party owning any intellectual property rights in software from which the Licensed Software was derived, are intended third party beneficiaries of this License. All grants of rights to use intellectual property intended to be accomplished by this License are explicitly stated. No other grants of such rights shall be inferred or shall arise by implication. CUSTOMER warrants to NTI that CUSTOMER is not purchasing the rights granted by this License in anticipation of reselling those rights. CUSTOMER shall: - - Hold the Licensed Software in confidence for the benefit of NTI and/or NTI's suppliers using no less a degree of care than it uses to protect its own most confidential and valuable information; and - - Keep a current record of the location of each copy of Licensed Software made by it; and - - Use each copy of Licensed Software only on a single CPU at a time (for this purpose, single CPU shall include systems with redundant processing units); and - - Affix to each copy of Licensed Software made by it, in the same form and location, a reproduction of the copyright notices, trademarks, and all other proprietary legends and/or logos of NTI and/or NTI's suppliers, appearing on the original copy of such Licensed Software delivered to CUSTOMER; and retain the same without alteration on all original copies; and - - Issue instructions to each of its authorized employees, agents,. and/or representatives to whom Licensed Software is disclosed, advising them of confidential nature of such Licensed Software and to provide them with a summary of the requirements of this License; and - - Return the Licensed Software and all copies through an Authorized Distributor to NTI at such time as CUSTOMER chooses to permanently cease using it. CUSTOMER shall not: - - Use licensed Software (i) for any purpose other than CUSTOMER's own internal business purposes and (ii) other than as provided by this License; or - - Allow anyone other than CUSTOMER's employees, agents and/or representatives with a "need to know" to have physical access to Licensed Software; or - - Make any copies of Licensed Software except such limited number of object code copies in machine readable form only, as may be reasonably necessary for execution or archival purposes only; or - - Make any modifications, enhancements, adaptations, or translations to or of Licensed Software, except as may result from those CUSTOMER interactions with the Licensed Software associated with normal use and explained in the associated documentation; or - - Attempt to reverse engineer, disassemble, reverse translate, decompile, or in any other manner decode Licensed Software, in order to derive the source code form or for any other reason; or - - Make full or partial copies of any documentation or other similar printed or machine-readable matter provided with Licensed Software unless the same has been supplied in a form by NTI intended for periodic reproduction of partial copies; or - - Export or re-export Licensed Software and/or associated documentation from the fifty states of the United States and the District of Columbia. - - NOTE: notwithstanding the above restrictions, if Customer has licensed the Licensed Software under a "site license" option as set forth in Customer's Purchase Agreement, Customer is authorized to make a limited number of copies of the Licensed Software and documentation to support additional users as specified in Customer's Purchase Agreement. CUSTOMER may assign collectively its rights under this License to any subsequent owner of the Hardware, but not otherwise, subject to the payment of the then current license fee for new users, if any. No such assignment shall be valid until CUSTOMER (1) has delegated all of its obligations under this License to the assignee; and (2) has obtained from the assignee an unconditional written assumption of all such obligations; and (3) has provided NTI a copy of such assignment, delegation and assumption; and (4) has transferred physical possession of all Licensed Software and all associated documentation to the assignee and destroyed all archival copies. Except as provided, neither this License nor any rights acquired by CUSTOMER through this License are assignable. Any attempted assignment of rights and/or transfer of Licensed Software not specifically allowed shall be void and conclusively presumed a material breach of this License. If NTI (i) claims a material breach of this License, and (ii) provides written notice of such claimed material breach to CUSTOMER and (iii) observes that such claimed material breach remains uncorrected and/or unmitigated more than thirty (30) days following CUSTOMER's receipt of written notice specifying in reasonable detail the nature of the claimed material breach, then CUSTOMER acknowledges that this License may be immediately terminated by NTI and CUSTOMER further acknowledges that any such termination shall be without prejudice to any other rights and remedies that NTI may have at law or in equity.

THE ABOVE EXCLUSION MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. - - BECAUSE SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW THE EXCLUSION OR LIMITATION OF LIABILITY FOR CONSEQUENTIAL OR INCIDENTAL DAMAGES, THE ABOVE LIMITATIONS MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU. NTI'S AND NTI'S SOFTWARE SUPPLIERS COMBINED LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ACTUAL DAMAGES FROM ANY CAUSE WHATSOEVER, AND REGARDLESS OF THE FORM OF THE ACTION (WHETHER IN CONTRACT, TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE), PRODUCT LIABILITY OR OTHERWISE), WILL BE LIMITED TO $50. - - THE RIGHTS AND OBLIGATIONS ARISING UNDER THIS LICENSE SHALL BE CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAW OF THE STATE OF TEXAS.
