3.6 Survival. Rights and obligations under this Agreement which by their
nature should survive, will remain in effect after termination or expiration
hereof.
4.0 PAYMENTS; TAXES; ACTIVITY LEVEL
4.1 Payment Terms. Except as otherwise specified in the Attachments
hereto, and in consideration of the rights granted to Customer hereunder,
Customer shall pay to Sun the royalties for each Royalty Bearing Event for the
applicable Software licensed or distributed by Customer on a quarterly basis
within thirty (30) days following the end of the preceding calendar quarter,
accompanied by a report pursuant to Section 5.1 ("Record Keeping") below.
Software license and royalty fees are set forth on the Sun Price List. To the
extent that Customer orders any Software or other products from Sun or Sun
invoices Customer for any royalties due, Customer shall pay any amounts due to
Sun within thirty (30) days from Sun's invoice date except for royalties, which
shall always be due within thirty (30) following the end of the preceding
calendar quarter. Sun's acceptance of this Agreement and any associated order(s)
does not imply Sun's approval of an open line of credit. Credit terms are
established by Sun based in part upon Customer's financial and payment records.
Sun reserves the right to place Customer on credit hold in the event Customer's
financial condition ceases to warrant the credit terms specified above.
4.2 Taxes.
(a) Subject to Section 4.2(b), all amounts payable by Customer under
this Agreement are exclusive of any Tax, levy or similar governmental charge
that may be assessed by any jurisdiction, whether based on gross revenue, the
delivery, possession or use of the Software, the execution or performance of
this Agreement or otherwise, except for net income, net worth or franchise taxes
assessed on Sun. If, under the local law, Customer is required to withhold any
Tax on such payments, then the amount of the payment actually remitted to Sun
will be net of all Taxes. Customer will promptly furnish Sun with the official
receipt of payment of these Taxes to the appropriate taxing authority. Customer
will pay all other Taxes, levies or similar governmental charges or provide Sun
with a certificate of exemption acceptable to the taxing authority.
(b) Notwithstanding Section 4.2(a), Customer may deduct from
payments any income tax or tax of a similar nature imposed by any non-United
States government ("government income tax") on the income of Sun from such
payment and actually paid by Customer for the account of Sun. In the event that
Customer deducts any such income tax from any such payment, Customer shall
furnish Sun with evidence acceptable to Sun and to the United States Government
to sufficiently establish that such government income tax has been paid for the
account of Sun.

4.4 Price Changes. Sun reserves the right to change the Price List,
discount schedule and/or royalties for any Software at any time. In the event of
a price increase, Sun shall provide Customer with thirty (30) days prior notice.

such Software(s) scheduled for shipment or in transit to Customer at the time of
such notice shall be adjusted to the decreased royalty rate.

(a) Right to Audit. Sun shall have the right to audit the records
and accounts of Customer required to be kept in accordance with this Agreement.
The auditor shall be adequately bound to keep confidential all Confidential
Information of Customer learned during the course of or pursuant to the audit.
Any such audit shall be performed only during Customer's normal business hours,
no more frequently than once per calendar year (but more frequently and at Sun's
discretion if irregularities are found), and shall be performed in such a manner
as to avoid unreasonable interference with Customer's business operations; and
the auditor shall be limited to reporting the adequacy of Customer's records and
accounts, including, but not limited to, whether Customer is in compliance with
the terns of this Agreement and the amount, if any, of underpayment or
overpayment of the amounts due Sun pursuant to this Agreement. Except as
expressly provided in Section 5.2(b) ("Errors In Payment"), Sun shall bear all
costs and expenses associated with the exercise of its right to audit.

is discovered. In the event of underpayment of more than five percent (5%) of
the amount due for that period (i) Customer shall reimburse Sun for the
reasonable charges of the audit that identified the underpayments, and (ii) Sun
shall have the right to conduct additional audits, at its sole discretion; in
ninety (90) day intervals until Customer becomes fully compliant with the terms
and conditions of this Agreement.

9.1 Sun shall defend at its own expense and, in addition, shall indemnify
Customer from damages, liabilities, costs and expenses actually awarded against

subsidiary. In the event Sun elects to avoid litigation relating to
Page 9 of 17

additional cost to Customer, procure for Customer the right to continue to use
the Software, (ii) at no additional cost to Customer, replace or modify the
Software to make such Software non-infringing, provided that substantially

modified within a commercially reasonable time and at a commercially reasonable
expense, terminate the license to use such Software and refund to Customer over

its customers for such Software due to the claim of infringement, up to the
total amounts actually paid by Customer to Sun under this Agreement for such
Software. Sun's performance of (i), (ii) or (iii) above shall be Customer's sole
and exclusive remedies.

indemnify and defend Customer or to pay costs, damages or attorneys' fees for
any claim based upon (i) the combination, operation, or use by Customer of
Software with other equipment, code, programs or data not supplied by Sun if
such infringement would have been avoided but for the combination, operation or
use of the Software with other equipment, code, programs or data; or (ii) use by
Customer of other than the then-latest version of the Software, if such
infringement could have been avoided by the use of the latest version of the
Software and such latest version had been made available to Customer; or (iii)
modifications by Customer of the Software in the event such infringement is
caused by such modifications; or (iv) use by Customer outside the scope of the
granted license(s).
10.0 MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT
Sun shall provide technical assistance (as provided in Section 1.21) to End
Users. Customer shall distribute the Technical Support Entitlement with
Customer's Product to End Users.
11.0 GOVERNMENT CONTRACTS
11.1 U.S. Governments
(a) If Software is being acquired by or on behalf of the U.S.
Government or by a U.S. Government prime contractor or subcontractor (at any
tier), then the Government's rights in Software and accompanying documentation
will be only as set forth in this Agreement; this is in accordance with 48 CFR
227.7201 through 227.7202-4 (for Department of Defense (DOD) acquisitions) and
with 48 CFR 2.101 and 12.212 (for non-DOD acquisitions). Customer is responsible
for ensuring that proper notice is given to all such third parties and that the
Software and technical data are properly marked. Customer shall indemnify Sun
for any claims or damages arising from any claim by the U.S. Government to more
than Restricted Rights in and to the Software product(s) resulting from
Customer's failure to provide a Restricted Rights legend as required herein. Any
failure by Sun to affix a Restricted Rights legend on the Software product(s)
shall not be deemed to constitute a waiver of any limitation on Customer's
rights imposed by this Agreement.

EXHIBIT 10.8
(b) Under no circumstances shall Sun be obligated to comply with any
requirements imposed by the U.S. Government regarding submission of or the
request for exemption from submission of cost or pricing data or cost accounting
requirements for any distribution or license of Software that would require
compliance by Sun with U.S. Governmental requirements relating to cost or
pricing data or cost accounting requirements.
11.2 Other Sovereign Governments
At its own cost and expense, Customer and its Distributors will take all
necessary steps in making proposals and agreements with sovereign governments
other than the U.S. Government which involve Software and End User Documentation
to ensure that Sun's proprietary rights in Software and End User Documentation
receive the reasonably necessary protection available from such foreign
governments for commercial computer software and related documentation developed
at private expense.
12.0 MISCELLANEOUS
12.1 Force Majeure. A party is not liable under this Agreement for
non-performance caused by events or conditions beyond that party's control if
the party makes reasonable efforts to perform. This provision does not relieve
Customer of its obligation to make payments then owing.
12.2 Severability. In the event that any part of this Agreement is held to
be unenforceable, in whole or in part, such holding will not affect the validity
of the other parts of this Agreement, unless Sun deems the unenforceable part to
be essential to this Agreement, in which case Sun may terminate this Agreement,
effective immediately upon notice to Customer.
12.3 Relationship of the Parties. This Agreement is not intended to create
a relationship such as a partnership, franchise, joint venture, agency, or
employment relationship. Neither party may act in a manner which expresses or
implies a relationship other than that of independent contractor, nor bind the
other party.
12.4 Governing Law. Any action related to this Agreement will be governed
by California law and controlling U.S. federal law. No choice of law rules of
any jurisdiction will apply.
12.5 Import and Export Laws. All Software and technical data delivered
under this Agreement are subject to U.S. export control laws and may be subject
to export or import regulations in other countries. Customer agrees to comply
strictly with all such laws and regulations and acknowledges that it has the
responsibility to obtain such licenses to export, re-export or import as may be
required after delivery to Customer.
12.6 Assignment. Neither party may assign or otherwise transfer any of its
rights or obligations under this Agreement, without the prior written consent of
the other party, except that Sun may assign its right to payment and may assign
this Agreement to an affiliated company.
12.7 Change of Control. In the event of the direct or indirect taking over
or assumption of control of Customer or of substantially all of its assets by
any government, governmental agency or other third party, Sun may terminate this
Agreement upon written notice to Customer.
12.8 Notices. All written notices required by this Agreement must be
delivered in person or by means evidenced by a delivery receipt and will be
effective upon receipt.
12.9 Waiver or Delay. Any express waiver or failure to exercise promptly
any right under this Agreement will not create a continuing waiver or any
expectation of non-enforcement. To be enforceable, a waiver must be in writing
and signed by the waiving party.
12.10 No Rights in Third Parties. This Agreement is made for the benefit
of the parties hereto, and not for the benefit of any third parties unless
otherwise stated herein or agreed to by the parties.
12.11 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in one or more
counterparts, each of which will be deemed an original, but all of which will
constitute but one and the same instrument.
Page 11 of 17

EXHIBIT 10.8
12.12 Headings. The headings and captions used in this Agreement are used
for convenience only and are not to be considered in construing or interpreting
this Agreement.
12.13 Construction. This Agreement has been negotiated by the parties
hereto and by their respective counsel. This Agreement will be fairly
interpreted in accordance with its terms and without any strict construction in
favor of or against either party. The original of this Agreement has been
written in English, and such version shall be the governing version of the
Agreement. To the extent allowed under applicable law, Customer waives any right
it may have, if any, under any law or regulation to have this Agreement written
in a language other than English.
12.14 Orders. This Agreement does not constitute an order for Software,
but rather a commitment to order Software as set forth in the Attachments
hereto. Purchase orders for Software shall be submitted to Sun by Customer
pursuant to the terms of this Agreement. Any terms or conditions set forth on
any purchase order, check, or other document of Customer shall have no force or
effect whatsoever. Customer further acknowledges that it does not take title to
the Software, with the exception of the media, but rather licenses the Software
pursuant to the terms and conditions of this Agreement.
12.15 Deliveries. Software and Documentation shall be delivered F.O.B.
Sun's designated shipping facility unless otherwise agreed to by the parties in
writing. Title to the Software media, but not to the Software and its associated
intellectual property rights, shall pass to Customer at that time. Sun may make
partial deliveries and such deliveries will not relieve Customer of its
obligation to accept the remainder of that order in whole or in part. Sun may
allocate Software to fairly accommodate orders received by Sun from all
customers at any time demand exceeds the available supply.
12.16 Equitable Relief. Because the licenses granted under this Agreement
are personal and unique, and because Customer will have access to and become
acquainted with confidential and proprietary information of Sun, the
unauthorized use or disclosure of which would cause irreparable harm and
significant injury which would be difficult to ascertain and which would not be
compensable by damages alone, both parties agree that, in addition to any and
all legal remedies available to Sun for Customer's breach of this Agreement, Sun
shall be entitled to avail itself of actions against Customer and/or third
parties for seizure and injunctive relief. If an unauthorized use or disclosure
occurs, Customer will promptly notify Sun and take, at Customer's expense, all
steps which are necessary to recover the Software and to prevent its subsequent
unauthorized use or dissemination.
12.17 Entire Agreement. This Agreement is the parties' entire agreement
relating to its subject matter. It supersedes all prior and contemporaneous oral
or written communications, proposals, conditions, representations and warranties
and prevails over any conflicting or additional terms of any quote, order,
acknowledgment, or other communication between the parties relating to its
subject matter during the term of this Agreement. No modification to this
Agreement will be binding, unless in writing and signed by an authorized
representative of each party.

STARSUITE, VERSION 6.0 SUPPLEMENTAL LICENSE TERMS
These supplemental license terms ("Supplemental Terms") add to or modify the
terms of the Binary Code License Agreement (collectively, the "Agreement").
Capitalized terms not defined in these Supplemental Terms shall have the same
meanings ascribed to them in the Agreement. These Supplemental Terms shall
supersede any inconsistent or conflicting terms in the Agreement, or in any
license contained within the Software.
1. SOFTWARE LICENSE TO USE. Subject to the terms and conditions of this
Agreement, Sun grants you a non-exclusive, nontransferable, limited license to
use up to five (5) complete and unmodified copies of the binary form of the
Software installed only on computers that you operate.

Agreement, if you are a Linux operating system end user and you received the
Software as part of a Linux operating system bundle, Sun grants you a
non-exclusive and non-transferable license for the internal use only of the
accompanying unmodified binary form of the Software.
3. EDUCATIONAL INSTITUTION LICENSE TO USE. Subject to the terms and conditions
of this Agreement, if you are an educational institution, Sun grants you a
non-exclusive and non-transferable license for the internal use only of the
accompanying unmodified binary form of the Software. In this situation "internal
use" means that your enrolled students, faculty and staff may use the Software.
4. FONT SOFTWARE. The Software contains font software which generates typeface
designs ("Font Software"). You may not separate the Font Software from the
Software. You may not alter Font Software for the purpose of adding any
functionality which such Font Software did not have when delivered to you as
Page 17 of 17
<PAGE>
EXHIBIT 10.8
part of the Software. You may not embed Font Software into a document which is
distributed as a commercial product in exchange for a fee or other consideration

the Sun Trademark and Logo Usage Requirements currently located at
http://www.sun.com/policies/trademarks. Any use you make of the Sun Marks inures
to Sun's benefit. These Supplemental License Terms do not grant the right to use

to become, the subject of a claim of infringement of any intellectual property
right.
8. LIMITED WARRANTY. Any implied warranties on the Software are limited to 90
days. Some states do not allow limitations on duration of an implied warranty,
so the above may not apply to you. This limited warranty gives you specific
legal rights. You may have others, which vary from state to state.
9. LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. Some states do not allow the exclusion of incidental
or consequential damages, so some of the terms of Section 5, Limitation of
Liability, above may not be applicable to you.
