business, finances, marketing and technology to which it obtains access and that
it will take all reasonable precautions to protect such confidential information
of the other party or any part thereof from any use, disclosure or copying,

licensing the source code on the date of this Agreement is acknowledged to be

any nature of any third party, including, but not limited to, ownership, patent,
trademark, copyright or trade secrecy claims or rights of any kind, (ii) the
Product will substantially conform to its published specifications. (iii) the

the Product to the Customer and to consummate the transactions contemplated
hereby.

This warranty is limited and shall not apply to: (a) Components of the Product
not of Softbridge origin, or (b) failure of the Product to satisfy this warranty
if determined by Softbridge to result from (i) improper use of the Product, (ii)
operation of the Product outside the environmental conditions specified on the
User Documentation, (iii) modifications to the Product not made by Softbridge,

the Product by Softbridge, or (v) any Release of the Product that is designated

NATURE, INCLUDED BUT NOT LIMITED TO SOFTBRIDGE'S NEGLIGENCE, ARISING OUT OF OR
IN ANY WAY RELATED TO THIS AGREEMENT, OR IN CONNECTION WITH ANY USE OR OTHER
EMPLOYMENT

OF ANY PRODUCT LICENSED TO THE CUSTOMER HEREUNDER, WHETHER SUCH LIABILITY ARISES
FROM ANY CLAIM BASED UPON CONTRACT, WARRANTY, OR OTHERWISE, WHICH MAY BE
ASSERTED BY THE CUSTOMER.

(b) SOFTBRIDGE'S LIABILITY TO THE CUSTOMER FOR DIRECT LOSS OR DAMAGE WHETHER IN
NEGLIGENCE, CONTRACT OR OTHERWISE ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT, OR THE OPERATION OR FAILURE TO OPERATE OF THE PRODUCT, SHALL IN ANY
EVENT BE LIMITED IN RESPECT OF ANY ONE INCIDENT OR SERIES OF CONNECTED INCIDENTS
TO THE SUM OF THE MONIES PAID TO SOFTBRIDGE BY THE CUSTOMER UNDER THIS
AGREEMENT.

5.4 Notification. Each party shall notify the other in writing of any claim or
other legal proceeding involving the Product promptly after it becomes aware of
any such claim of proceeding. The Customer will also report promptly to
Softbridge all claimed or suspected failures of the Product to conform to the
Documentation promptly after the Customer becomes aware of any such claimed or
suspected failure, during the first year of this Agreement.

5.5 Indemnification by Softbridge. Softbridge represents the Product as
delivered to the Customer does not infringe any valid claim of copyright or
trademark of any third party, or any valid claim under any U.S. patent that has
issued as of the date of delivery. Softbridge will defend, indemnify and hold
harmless the Customer against any claim of infringement of the aforementioned
rights, provided that the Customer gives Softbridge prompt written notice
thereof, grants Softbridge sole control of the defense and any related

claim. In the event that use of the Product is finally enjoined, Softbridge, at
its option, will either (i) procure for Customer the right to use that Product,
(ii) replace the Product with a substantially equivalent program the use of
which is not so enjoined, or (iii) refund the license fee paid for the Product.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Softbridge shall have no liability to Customer if
the infringement results from (a) use of the Product in combination with
particular software or hardware, if such infringement would not have resulted
from the use of the Product with other software or hardware, whether or not such
other software or hardware is capable of performing the same functions as the
particular software or hardware actually used in combination with the Product,
(b) modifications to the Product not made by Softbridge if such infringement
would have been avoided by the absence of such modification, or (c) use of other
than the version of the Product most recently offered to Customer if such
infringement would have been avoided by use of such a current version. THE
FOREGOING STATES THE ENTIRE LIABILITY OF SOFTBRIDGE WITH RESPECT TO INFRINGEMENT
OF INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS OR CONTRACTUAL RIGHTS OF THIRD PARTIES BY THE
PRODUCT(S) OR ANY PARTS THEREOF.

5.6 Exclusive Remedies. The Customer's exclusive remedies for any claims against
Softbridge arising out of the Agreement shall be limited to the following, at
the option of Softbridge: (a) replacement by Softbridge of the Product with
software that functions substantially in accordance with the User Documentation;
(b) repair by Softbridge of the Product, by patch or work around, so that it
functions substantially in accordance with the User Documentation or, (c) refund
by Softbridge of the monies paid by Customer and received by Softbridge in
respect of the Product. Customer acknowledges that this Section 5.6 limits its
remedies in the event that Softbridge has breached any of its obligations to
Customer. WITHOUT LIMITING THE FOREGOING, SOFTBRIDGE AND THE CUSTOMER AGREE THAT
IF ANY REMEDY HEREUNDER IS DETERMINED TO HAVE FAILED OF ITS ESSENTIAL PURPOSE,
ALL LIMITATIONS AND EXCLUSIONS OF LIABILITY SET FORTH HEREIN SHALL REMAIN IN
EFFECT.
