B. Distribution Rights

You must be a member of the Oracle PartnerNetwork in order to distribute programs. Oracle grants you a nonexclusive, nontransferable right to duplicate the programs you order from Oracle under this agreement and a nonexclusive right to distribute such programs to end users pursuant to an end user's order to you as part of the application package. Prior to distributing programs, you must obtain an order from the end user for the programs ordered, which order and programs shall be subject to a valid end user license agreement. You may distribute only the programs for which you have previously acquired a supported development license. Each distributed program must be used only for the business operations of the end user and must be used only in conjunction with the application package. Each distributed program shall be subject to the terms of this agreement and the terms provided in the end user license agreement. You may distribute the application package to yourself or your affiliated entities and you or such entity shall be

considered an end user under this agreement provided that (1) the total fees paid to Oracle for such programs do not exceed 20% of the total fees paid to Oracle under this agreement, (2) you comply with the requirements of Section I (License Agreement), and (3) you report such distribution in accordance with Section H (Reporting). The programs must be embedded with your application program and distributed with your application program and cannot be provided separately. Program documentation for the programs you order and distribute is either shipped with the programs, or the documentation may be accessed online at http://oracle.com/contracts. Some programs also may include any source code Oracle may provide as part of its standard shipment of such programs, which source code shall be governed by the terms of this agreement. You must provide the following legend on the sign on screen of the application package, or if the application package is a physical device, you must provide the legend on the label for the media containing the programs and your application program: "The programs included herein are subject to a restricted use license and can only be used in conjunction with this application."

C. Development Licenses

You may order development licenses for the programs for your use pursuant to which Oracle grants you a nonexclusive, nontransferable limited license to use the programs to (a) demonstrate, develop or prototype hardware or software products or services for potential commercial distribution with programs, (b) provide technical support for employees and end users solely in connection with the application package, and (c) provide training for the application package to employees and end users who have licensed the application package. Development licenses may not be used for the purpose of developing or administering hardware, software products, or providing services specific to an end user regardless of whether you receive any fees for doing so, unless you are prototyping or providing a proof of concept to secure an end users intent to purchase Oracle programs. Your use of the development licenses shall be subject to the terms of this agreement and the terms provided in the applicable order with Oracle.

D. Trial Licenses

Oracle grants you a nonexclusive license for you and your distributors to distribute to end users a combined total of ***** trial licenses at any one time for the end users' own internal evaluation purposes (and not for development, prototype, training or technical support purposes). Trial licenses shall be for ***** days and shall be subject to the terms of this agreement and the terms provided in the order. If your end users want to use programs for which they have obtained a trial license for more than ***** days, they must obtain an appropriate license and pay the appropriate fees; you must pay Oracle a fee for any trial licenses that you distribute that extend for more than ***** days. Programs licensed for trial purposes are provided "as is" and Oracle does not provide technical support or any warranties for these programs.

E. Demonstration Licenses

You may order demonstration licenses for the programs for your use pursuant to which Oracle grants you a nonexclusive, nontransferable (except with respect to your distributors as provided

in this agreement) license for you and your distributors to use the programs to (a) demonstrate the programs to potential end users solely in connection with the application package and (b) provide training for employees and end users solely in connection with the application package. Demonstration licenses shall be subject to the terms of this agreement and the terms provided in the applicable order with Oracle.

F. Distributors

You may appoint distributors to distribute the programs embedded with your application package as provided under the terms of this agreement. Distributors have no right to make copies of the programs and shall obtain all programs from you. Each distributor must be subject to a legally binding written agreement between you and the distributor that (a) allows the distributor to distribute the application package to end users, (b) contains or incorporates provisions which are equivalent to the terms of this agreement, and (c) permits you to audit your distributors' activities under such agreement and report such activities to Oracle or assign your right to audit the distributors' activities to Oracle. In addition, the agreement with your distributors shall require the distributors to distribute the programs subject to terms that are consistent with the terms of this agreement. Any distribution of the programs by your distributors shall be subject to an end user license agreement between you and the end user as set forth in Section I (License Agreement) of this agreement. You shall keep the appointment of each distributor (its name and address) and executed distributor agreements for Oracle to inspect upon request. You shall defend and indemnify Oracle from all claims and for all damages arising out of the activities of your distributors.

G. Ownership and Restrictions

Oracle retains all ownership and intellectual property rights to the programs and anything developed by Oracle and delivered to you resulting from the services. You and each end user may make a sufficient number of copies of each program for the licensed use and one copy of each program media. You may permit your agents and contractors to use the programs for the demonstration and development purposes set forth herein, subject to the terms of this agreement and you are responsible for their compliance with this agreement in such use.

You may not:

•		duplicate and/or distribute the programs unless embedded with the application package;
•		use the programs for your own business operations except as provided in this agreement;
•		remove or modify any program markings or any notice of Oracle's proprietary rights;
•		rent, lease, or timeshare the programs, or provide subscription services for the programs, or permit your end user to do so (unless such access is expressly permitted for the specific program license the end user has acquired), or distribute the programs in any manner except as provided under this agreement;

•		cause or permit reverse engineering (unless required by law for interoperability), disassembly, or decompilation of the programs;
•		disclose results of any program benchmark tests without Oracle's prior written consent;
•		engage in any deceptive or misleading practices that may be detrimental to Oracle or to the programs; or
•		permit end users to install the programs separately and independently from the application package.

"Open Source" software — software available without charge for use, modification and distribution — is often licensed under terms that require the user to make the user's modifications to the Open Source software or any software that the user "combines" with the Open Source software freely available in source code form. If you use Open Source software in conjunction with the programs, you must ensure that your use does not: (i) create, or purport to create, obligations of Oracle with respect to the programs; or (ii) grant, or purport to grant, to any third party any rights to or immunities under Oracle's intellectual property or proprietary rights in the programs. For example, you may not develop a software program using a program and an Open Source program where such use results in a program file(s) that contains code from both the program and the Open Source program (including without limitation libraries) if the Open Source program is licensed under a license that requires any "modifications" be made freely available. You also may not combine the programs with programs licensed under the GNU General Public License ("GPL") in any manner that could cause, or could be interpreted or asserted to cause, the programs or any modifications to the programs to become subject to the terms of the GPL.

H. Reporting

In connection with your distribution activities under this agreement, you shall submit monthly reports for programs distributed with the application package to Oracle Corporation or to any majority owned subsidiary of Oracle Corporation, whichever entity has executed this agreement (both of which are referred to in this agreement as an "Oracle group company") within 20 days of the last day of the month in which the application package is distributed to the end user. You must submit a monthly report even if you do not owe any fees to Oracle for a particular month. In each monthly report you shall provide the following: (1) for those application packages that embed the programs into a physical device: the name of the programs licensed; the name, including date or version, of the applicable end user license agreement; the name, including the date or version, of your agreement with Oracle under which the programs are being distributed; the applicable license metrics, quantity, and term designation; the date of the and user's order; and the total license and technical support fees payable to the Oracle group company for that month; (2) for those application packages that embed the programs into a software package, the name and address of the end user; the name, including date or version, of the applicable end user license agreement the name, including the date or version, of your agreement with Oracle under which the programs are being distributed; the location to which the programs will be shipped; the date of the end user's order; the name of the programs licensed; the applicable license metrics and quantity; term designations; and the total license and technical support fees payable to the

applicable Oracle group company for that month. Your monthly report must be complete when submitted to Oracle and may not (a) require any concessions (including requiring Oracle to perform any obligations or to incur any liability not set forth in your monthly report) or (b) be changed after it is submitted to Oracle. Oracle may require that you complete standard ordering and/or reporting documentation. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary herein, with Oracle's prior written approval, you may submit orders to the applicable Oracle group company for programs and/or services ordered and/or distributed instead of submitting monthly reports.

Upon request, you will provide Oracle with a copy of the end user license agreement, and any amendments and documents that together with the end user license agreement form the complete end user license agreement, and any ordering documents or purchase agreements between you and the end user related to the order, with any information reasonably deemed confidential or proprietary removed as the information set forth in such end user license agreement will not be considered confidential information. At a minimum you must provide information related to the programs, including but not limited to, the end user's name, the programs distributed, the number of users, the license levels, the license grant to the end user, any definitions related to licensing metrics, the date of the order, and any other information reasonably requested by Oracle.

Where (i) the acquisition of programs and/or technical support is financed or leased, or (ii) the end user license agreement or order refers to any payments other than net 30 day payment terms, then you will comply with Oracle's financing and leasing policies which can be accessed at http://partner.oracle.com (you must log in, select the Home tab, and select the Manage Your Membership portlet) by ensuring that the end user and any funder have received those policies, and where applicable, have acknowledged that they will comply with those policies.

If Oracle makes an online ordering and/or reporting system available to you, you may place an order or submit a monthly report electronically via email, or through a system designated by Oracle ("online system"). You shall be responsible for designating authorized individuals to submit online electronic orders and/or monthly reports on your behalf ("authorized users") for Oracle programs through the online system. Authorized users will have the ability to access and place orders and/or submit monthly reports through a userid and assigned passwords for the online system. You warrant that the authorized users have the capacity and authority to place orders and/or submit monthly reports for Oracle programs and to enter into contracts on your behalf, and you acknowledge and agree that Oracle may treat any orders and/or monthly reports that are submitted via email or to the online system using your userid and passwords as orders on your behalf. You agree to take all reasonable steps to ensure the security of the online system userid and passwords and to ensure that unauthorized users do not access or enter the system using your userid and passwords. For any orders placed and/or monthly reports submitted by you for which you issue a purchase order in the ordinary course of your business, you must submit a physical copy of the applicable purchase order to Oracle with your order. Oracle reserves the right to accept or decline any order submitted via email or the online system. Oracle will not be bound by any terms and conditions that you attach or otherwise include in your order and/or monthly report. You agree to waive any future challenge to the validity and enforceability of any order and/or monthly report submitted via email or the online system on the grounds that it was electronically transmitted and authorized.

I. License Agreement

It is your responsibility to ensure that any distribution of the programs and/or services to an end user is subject to a legally binding end user license agreement for the programs and/or services that you distribute to the end user. The end user license agreement must, at a minimum: (1) restrict use of the programs to the scope of the application package and to the business operations of the end user; (2) prohibit (a) the transfer of the programs except for temporary transfer in the event of computer malfunction if the application package embeds the programs in a physical device; (b) the end user from assigning, giving, or transferring the programs and/or any services ordered or an interest in them to another individual or entity (and if your end user grants a security interest in the programs and/or any services, the secured party has no right to use or transfer the programs and/or any services); (c) timesharing, service bureau, subscription service, or rental use of the programs; and (d) title to the programs from passing to the end user or any other party; (3) prohibit the reverse engineering (unless required by law for interoperability), disassembly or decompilation of the programs and prohibit duplication of the programs except for a sufficient number of copies of each program for the end user's licensed use end one copy of each program media; (4) disclaim, to the extent permitted by applicable law, Oracle's liability for any damages, whether direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential, arising from the use of the programs; (5) require the end user, at the termination of the agreement, to discontinue use and destroy or return to you all copies of the programs and documentation; (6) prohibit publication of any results of benchmark tests run on the programs; (7) require the end user to comply fully with all relevant export laws and regulations of the United States and other applicable export and import laws to assure that neither the programs, nor any direct product thereof, are exported, directly or indirectly, in violation of applicable laws; (8) notify the end user that the programs are subject to a restricted license and can only be used in conjunction with the application package and that the end user is not permitted to modify the programs; (9) not require Oracle to perform any obligations or incur any liability not previously agreed to between you and Oracle; (10) permit you to audit your end user's use of the programs and report such use to Oracle or to assign your right to audit the end user's use of the programs to Oracle; (11) designate Oracle as a third party beneficiary of the end user license agreement; (12) exclude the application of the Uniform Computer Information Transactions Act; and (13) inform the end user that some programs may include source code that Oracle may provide as part of its standard shipment of such programs, which source code shall be governed by the terms of the end user license agreement. You may allow your end users to permit agents or contractors to use the programs on their behalf for the purposes set forth in the end user license agreement, subject to the terms of such agreement provided that such end users are responsible for such agents and contractors compliance with the end user license agreement in such use. You shall be financially responsible for all claims and damages to Oracle caused by your failure to include the required contractual terms set forth above in each end user license agreement between you and an end user. Oracle is a third party beneficiary of any end user license agreement between you and the end user, but does not assume any of your obligations thereunder, and you agree that you will not enter into any end user license agreement that excludes Oracle as a third party beneficiary and will inform your end users of Oracle's rights.

You agree to inform Oracle promptly if you are aware of any breach of an end user license agreement. You agree to enforce the terms of an end user license agreement between you and an

end user if Oracle requests you to do so to protect its interest, or, at Oracle's request, to assign to Oracle or its designee the right to enforce such agreement.

J. Warranties, Disclaimers and Exclusive Remedies

Oracle warrants that a program will operate in all material respects as described in the applicable program documentation for ***** after delivery. You must notify Oracle of any program warranty deficiency within ***** after delivery. Oracle also warrants that services ordered will be provided in a professional manner consistent with industry standards. You must notify Oracle of any services warranty within ***** from performance of the services described in the order with Oracle.

ORACLE DOES NOT GUARANTEE THAT THE PROGRAMS WILL PERFORM ERROR-FREE OR UNINTERRUPTED, OR THAT ORACLE WILL CORRECT ALL PROGRAM ERRORS. TO THE EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, THESE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND THERE ARE NO OTHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

FOR ANY BREACH OF THE ABOVE WARRANTIES, YOUR EXCLUSIVE REMEDY, AND ORACLE's ENTIRE LIABILITY, SHALL BE: *****.

K. Trial Programs Included With Demonstration and Development License Orders

Oracle may include additional programs with an order for demonstration and development licenses which you may use for trial, non-production purposes only. You may not use the trial programs to provide or attend training provided by you or a third party on the content and/or functionality of the programs. You will have 30 days from the delivery date to evaluate these programs. If you decide to use any of these programs after the 30-day trial period, you must obtain a license for such programs. If you decide not to obtain a license for any programs after the 30-day trial period, you will cease using and will delete any such programs from your computer system. Programs licensed for trial purposes are provided "as is" and Oracle does not provide technical support or offer any warranties for these programs.

L. Indemnification

If someone makes a claim against you or an end user that any program infringes their intellectual property rights, Oracle will indemnify you and the end user against the claim if you do the following:

•		notify the General Counsel, Legal Department, promptly in writing, not later than 30 days after you receive notice of the claim (or sooner if required by applicable law);
•		give Oracle sole control of the defense and any settlement negotiations; and
•		give Oracle the information, authority, and assistance Oracle needs to defend against or settle the claim.

If Oracle believes or it is determined that any of the programs may have violated someone else's intellectual property rights, Oracle may choose to either modify the program to be non-infringing (while substantially preserving its utility or functionality) or obtain a license to allow for continued use, or if these alternatives are not commercially reasonable, Oracle may end the license for the applicable program and refund any fees you may have paid for it and any unused, prepaid technical support fees you have paid for the licenses. Oracle will not indemnify you or an end user if you or an end user alter a program or use it outside the scope of use identified in the user documentation or if you or an end user use a version of the program which has been superseded, if the infringement claim could have been avoided by using an unaltered current version of the program which was provided to you. Oracle will not indemnify you to the extent an infringement claim is based upon a program not provided by Oracle. Oracle will not indemnify you or an end user to the extent that an infringement claim is based upon the combination of any program with any products or services not provided by Oracle. This section provides your exclusive remedy for any infringement claims or damages.

If someone makes a claim against Oracle that a program, when used in combination with any product or services provided by you, infringes their intellectual property rights, and such claim would have been avoided by the exclusive use of the program, you will indemnify Oracle.

M. Technical Support

You may order annual technical support for development licenses and demonstration licenses. If ordered or renewed, annual technical support is provided under Oracle's technical support policies in effect at the time the services are provided. The technical support policies, incorporated in this agreement, are subject to change at Oracle's discretion; however, Oracle will not materially reduce the level of services provided for supported program licenses during the period for which fees for technical support have been paid. You should review the policies prior to entering into the order for the applicable services. You may access the current version of the technical support policies at http://oracle.com/contracts. Subject to Oracle's technical support policies, and upon payment of the applicable annual fees for technical support as set forth in Section O (Fees and Taxes), you shall have the right to use Oracle's technical support services acquired for your supported development licenses to provide technical support to end users, including you or your affiliated entities if you have distributed the application package to you or

such entities, provided that you continually maintain technical support for your development licenses. Upon expiration of this agreement, you may continue to use Oracle's technical support services acquired for your supported development licenses to provide technical support to end users provided that (a) the agreement was not terminated due to your breach of a material term of the agreement; (b) you continuously maintain technical support for the development licenses; (c) you pay all applicable fees and comply with the reporting requirements set forth in this agreement, and (d) you maintain your membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork. As set forth above, such support is provided under Oracle's technical support policies in effect at the time the services are provided.

Technical support is effective upon shipment, or if shipment is not required, upon the effective date of the order with Oracle, unless otherwise stated in your order with Oracle. If your order was placed through the Oracle Store, the effective date is the date your order was accepted by Oracle.

You or your distributor will be responsible for any assistance needed to install the application package at end user sites. You are responsible for providing all technical support, training and consultations to distributors and end users. Questions Oracle receives from end users will be referred to you.

In conjunction with your annual payment of technical support fees, you will submit a report providing the name and address of each end user who contracted for or obtained technical support from you, and for each end user, the term of the technical support that is covered by the payment.

N. Term and End of Agreement

This agreement shall begin on the date specified in Oracle's acceptance confirmation and continue in effect for 2 years. You must keep your membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork current in order to distribute the programs. If your membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork expires or is terminated, you will not be permitted to distribute programs until your membership is made current. When this agreement expires or terminates, in order to keep distributing the programs, you must execute the then current version of Oracle's distribution agreement and the agreement will be subject to acceptance by Oracle, and Oracle may require you to complete certain training and assessment requirements at no charge to Oracle's satisfaction. If either of us breaches a material term of this agreement and fails to correct the breach within 30 days of written specification of the breach, the other party may terminate this agreement. If Oracle ends this agreement as specified in the preceding sentence or under Section L (Indemnification), you must pay within 30 days all amounts which have accrued prior to the end of this agreement, as well as sums remaining unpaid for programs and/or services received under this agreement plus related taxes and expenses. In addition, if Oracle terminates this agreement as provided under this section, Oracle also may terminate your use of programs, access to technical support and other services ordered as well as the Oracle PartnerNetwork agreement and your membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork. Except for nonpayment of fees, we each agree to extend the 30-day period for so long as the breaching party continues reasonable efforts to cure the breach. You

agree that if you are in default under this agreement, you may not use the programs and/or services ordered. The end users' rights to use the programs properly distributed by you under this agreement shall survive termination of this agreement, unless such rights are otherwise terminated in accordance with the applicable license agreement. Provisions that survive termination or expiration include those relating to limitation of liability, infringement indemnity, payment, ethical business practices, and others which by their nature are intended to survive.

O. Fees and Taxes

You may place an order or submit a monthly report for programs and/or services with the Oracle group company that has executed this agreement. You agree to pay the applicable Oracle group company a fee for each order placed for programs and/or services ordered and/or distributed under this agreement, as specified in the applicable order with Oracle and/or report. You also agree to pay the applicable Oracle group company a fee for every application package with which the programs are embedded regardless of an end users prior possession or pre-existing license of these programs unless you are shipping Updates for which you are paying fees to Oracle as specified herein. Fees for programs and/or technical support will be paid directly to the entity which entered this agreement and to which you submit monthly reports. You will not be relieved of your obligation to pay any fees owed to Oracle by the nonpayment of such fees by your end user. You are free to determine the fees charged to an end user for program licenses and services. At your option, fees payable to the applicable Oracle group company for programs distributed to end users with the application package will be equal to either option (a) ***** of the applicable license fee for each individual program based on the Oracle global price list in effect at the time you issue a quote or option (b) the percentage of the applicable standard license fee as set forth on Exhibit A for the application package based on your standard commercial price list in effect at the time you issue a quote, incorporated in this agreement, and such fees owed to Oracle will not take into account any discounts you have offered to your end users.

In addition, with regard to fees for technical support provided for perpetual or term licenses when ordered from Oracle, you agree to pay the applicable Oracle group company a technical support fee as set forth on Exhibit B. Technical support may be available to the end user on the date you ship the application package, or the date you distribute the application package to the end user, if shipment is not required. If technical support is ordered and provided by you to an end user, the term for which you must pay fees to Oracle for such technical support shall begin on the last day of the month in which the application package is shipped, or distributed if shipment is not required, and if renewed, on that date in each subsequent year thereafter. If the end user does not continuously maintain technical support for the application package, you will be required to pay reinstatement fees to Oracle in accordance with Oracle's current technical support policies if the end user wants to reinstate technical support. Fees for technical support are due and payable annually in advance.

You must select one of the above fee options for each application package by completing the Application Package Registration Form attached hereto and your selection will be in effect for the term of this agreement. If you select option (a), to access the Oracle global price list, you must log into the OPN web site at http://partner.oracle.com (you must log in, select the Home tab, and select the Manage Your Membership portlet) to view the Oracle global price list. It is

your responsibility to access the Oracle global price list to obtain current information. If you select option (a), if Oracle's global price list changes after you issue a valid written quote for program licenses to an end user, for 90 days after the date you submit the quote to the end user, the fee applicable to the programs identified in the quote shall be based on the global price list in effect on the date you submit the quote. If you select option (b), you will provide Oracle with a copy of your current standard commercial application package price list at least twice a year so that Oracle may verify the fees due and payable to Oracle.

Except as provided herein, all fees payable to the applicable Oracle group company (including fees for annual technical support which you provide to end users) are due within *****. If you submit a purchase order to Oracle, fees payable under such purchase order are due within *****. All applicable fees payable to the applicable Oracle group company for demonstration licenses and development licenses you order are due within *****. You also agree to pay any sales, value-added or other similar taxes imposed by applicable law that the applicable Oracle group company must pay based on the programs and/or services you ordered and/or reported, except for taxes based on Oracle's income. You agree that you and your end user have not relied on the future availability of any programs or services in entering into the payment obligations in your order and/or monthly report. Oracle reserves the right to check your credit rating periodically during the term of this agreement and to modify these payment terms in the event that there is a material change in your credit rating. Fees listed in this agreement are exclusive of value added tax and/or similar sales taxes. Such taxes shall be charged at the appropriate rate by the applicable Oracle group company in addition to its stated fees and shall be shown separately on the relevant invoice. Upon your submission of an order and/or monthly report to the applicable Oracle group company, this payment obligation is non-cancelable, and the sum paid is nonrefundable, is not subject to set-off for any reason, and is not subject to the completion or occurrence or any event after the date your order and/or monthly report is submitted to Oracle.

P. Nondisclosure

By virtue of this agreement, the parties may have access to information that is confidential to one another ("confidential information"). Confidential information shall be limited to the terms and pricing under this agreement, and all information clearly identified as confidential.

ORACLE USA, INC.

This Buyout Amendment (the "Buyout Amendment") is between Oracle USA, Inc. ("Oracle") and ArcSight, Inc. ("you") and shall be governed by and incorporated into the terms of the Oracle PartnerNetwork Embedded Software License Distribution Agreement (US-OPN-EMBD-404632-04-31-MAR-06) between Oracle and you dated March 31, 2006 and Amendment One, Amendment Two and Amendment Three (which shall be executed simultaneously with this Buyout Amendment) thereto (the "agreement").

Any distribution rights granted will be limited to the application package(s) set forth in section 6 of this Buyout Amendment and may not be combined with any additional functionality or additional application programs. If there is a direct conflict between a term of this Buyout Amendment and a term of the agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Buyout Amendment, the term of this Buyout Amendment shall prevail.

The parties hereby agree to amend the agreement as follows:

1. Distribution Rights.

You may distribute perpetual licenses of the embedded programs defined in the application package registration form to new end users, to whom you have never previously distributed the application package in accordance with the agreement and the terms of this Buyout Amendment during the Distribution Term (defined below). You may also distribute licenses for additional incremental usage of the embedded programs to end users to whom you have previously distributed the application package under the agreement or another distribution agreement with Oracle prior to the date of this Buyout Amendment provided that (a) the end user has continuously maintained technical support for the application package previously distributed, (b) if the end user has not continuously maintained technical support for the application package previously distributed, the end user has reinstated technical support for such application package and is currently receiving technical support for the application package previously distributed at the time you distribute additional licenses for additional incremental usage of the embedded programs, or (c) the end user has never contracted for or obtained technical support for the application package previously distributed and you agree that you shall not provide technical support to the end user (i) for the application package previously distributed or (ii) for any licenses for additional incremental usage related to such application package that you distribute under this Buyout Addendum.

You may provide technical support to end users for embedded programs that you distribute only for those programs for which you have previously acquired a supported development license. Your distribution of the embedded programs is subject to the terms of the agreement and this Buyout Amendment. In the event that you do not (a) distribute the embedded programs in accordance with this Buyout Amendment and the agreement or (b) make technical support available to the end users for the application package distributed under this Buyout Amendment for the duration of the Distribution Term, then the Distribution Term and your right to distribute the embedded programs under this Buyout Amendment and to make technical support available for the embedded programs shall terminate, subject to and in accordance with Section N (Term and End of Agreement), following written notice to you by Oracle of the breach and your failure to cure such breach within thirty (30) days of such written notice.

2. License and Technical Support Fees

You agree to pay Oracle the License and Technical Support Fees for the Distribution Term specified below for the right to distribute the embedded programs as set forth in this Buyout Amendment. This fee entitles you to distribute an unlimited number of licenses of the embedded programs during the Distribution Term which is defined below and which shall commence on the effective date of this Buyout Amendment.

License and Technical Support Fees for the Distribution Term		$3,850,009.00
Distribution Term		2 Years

Oracle agrees that if, concurrent with the delivery of this Buyout Amendment, you deliver an Oracle Credit Corporation ("OCC") Payment Plan Agreement and OCC ESL Payment Schedule ("PPA") that is satisfactory to OCC, then the payment terms in the PPA shall replace the above payment terms to the extent specified in the PPA, and OCC shall pay Oracle as set forth in the PPA.

The omitted portions of this exhibit have been filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission pursuant to a request for confidential treatment under Rule 406 promulgated under the Securities Act of 1933.

shall furnish Oracle with a report verifying the total number of end user licenses of the embedded programs distributed by you pursuant to this Buyout Amendment. The quantity of licenses distributed pursuant to this Buyout Amendment will be fixed equal to the total number of end user licenses distributed. In addition, such report shall provide the following: the name of the programs licensed; the name and address of the end user; the applicable license metrics and quantity; and the date of the end user's order.

4. Technical Support

You are responsible for providing all technical support services to distributors and end users. Questions that Oracle receives from end users will be referred to you. You shall have the right to provide technical support to end users to whom you have distributed the embedded programs provided that you continually maintain technical support for your development licenses and subject to the payment of the applicable annual fees for technical support set forth in the agreement and this Buyout Amendment. The License and Technical Support Fees for the Distribution Term set forth above do not include any fees due and payable to Oracle for technical support for any programs distributed by you prior to the effective date of this Buyout Amendment, any fees due and payable to Oracle for technical support for any programs distributed by you under a prior distribution agreement with Oracle, or any fees due and payable to Oracle for technical support for any programs distributed by you under the agreement which are not included in this Buyout Amendment. If Customer delivers a PPA in accordance with section 2 above, technical support fees for the Distribution Term shall be invoiced by Oracle annually in advance in the amount of ***** each year. Annual technical support is provided under Oracle's technical support policies in effect at the time the services are provided. The technical support policies, incorporated in this agreement, are subject to change at Oracle's discretion.

As set forth above, in the event that you do not make annual technical support available to end users for the duration of the Distribution Term, then your rights to distribute the programs shall immediately terminate as provided above and your right to provide technical support services to end users shall also immediately terminate.

Following the end of the Distribution Term, you may continue to renew technical support for the embedded programs and provide technical support to your end users of such programs provided that you continuously maintain technical support for the development licenses, you pay all applicable fees set forth in this agreement, and you maintain your membership in the Oracle PartnerNetwork. Following the end of the Distribution Term, renewal of annual technical support services shall be provided in accordance with Oracle's then-current technical support policies and the terms of the agreement and this Buyout Amendment. If one hundred percent (100%) of your install base (defined below) is receiving technical support from you, the renewal fee for the first year for technical support for the embedded programs shall be equal to the total technical support fees amount for the last year of the Distribution Term plus the percentage of such amount that is equal to Oracle's then current technical support annual percentage increase, which shall not exceed *****, of such amount ("100% renewal fee"). Sixty (60) days prior to the end of the Distribution Term, you shall submit a written certification to Oracle verifying the

Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in the agreement, upon receipt of your certification, Oracle will calculate your annual technical support fee for the embedded programs for the first year following the end of the Distribution Term as follows: the Supported Install Base multiplied by the 100% renewal fee (as defined above). After the first year following the end of the Distribution Term, renewal of annual technical support services for embedded programs shall be provided in accordance with Oracle's then current technical support services for the embedded programs shall be provided in accordance with Oracle's then current technical support policies and the terms of the agreement. As used herein, the term "install base" shall mean the total number of end users to whom you have distributed the embedded programs during the Distribution Term.

Renewal fees for technical support shall be invoiced by Oracle annually in advance. Fees for technical support shall be due and payable in advance thirty (30) days from date of invoice.
