-6-
<PAGE>
communications. It shall not be modified except by a written agreement dated
subsequent to the date of this Agreement and signed on behalf of COMPANY and
Summit by their respective duly authorized representatives. No waiver of any
breach of any provisions of this Agreement shall constitute a waiver of an
prior, concurrent or subsequent breach of the same or any provisions hereof, and
no waiver shall be effective unless made in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of the waiving party.
(d) If any provision of this Agreement shall be held by a court of

exemption for such requirements for the benefit of Summit from the appropriate
Governmental authority before the distribution and/or license of the Product(s)
to the Government.

transmit the Product(s) and technical data (or any part thereof) or any process

government on payments required hereunder, COMPANY may deduct such taxes from
the amount owed Summit and pay them to the appropriate tax authority; provided,
however, that COMPANY shall promptly secure and deliver to Summit an official
receipt for any such taxes withheld or other documents necessary to enable
Summit to claim a U.S. Foreign Tax Credit. COMPANY will make certain that any
taxes withheld are minimized to the extent possible under applicable law. Prices
stated are exclusive of any federal, state, municipal or other governmental
taxes, duties, licenses, fees, excises or tariffs now or hereafter imposed on
COMPANY's production, storage, licensing, sale, transportation, import, export
or use of the Software. Such charges shall be paid by COMPANY, or in lieu
thereof, COMPANY shall provide an exemption certificate acceptable to Summit and
the applicable authority. Summit, however, shall be responsible for all taxes
based upon its personal property ownership and gross or net income.
