            from delivery that such Product does not conform to specifications.
            Payment for any Product by Reseller shall not constitute acceptance
            nor reduce the [*] available for inspection and reporting of any

                  such new trademark and/or trade name, and stop using the
                  previous trademark and/or trade name, and if so instructed by
                  McDATA, destroy or return to McDATA, at McDATA's expense, any

      12.5  Reseller may sublicense the foregoing right and license to its
            Channel Partners, provided such Channel Partners are subject to the
            foregoing restrictions and have executed a written agreement with
            Reseller regarding same.

13    INDEMNIFICATION

      13.1  MCDATA INDEMNIFICATION. McDATA agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
            Reseller harmless from any and all damages, liabilities, costs and
            expenses finally awarded against Reseller as a result of any third
            party claim, judgment or adjudication against Reseller (a) which
            claims that Products or Software infringe any patent, copyright,
            trademark, trade secret, or other intellectual property right of any
            third party in the United States, Canada, Mexico, Japan, Australia,
            New Zealand, Singapore, Brazil, United Kingdom, Germany, France, and
            other European Union member countries, or (b) for damage to property
            and tangible personal property or bodily injury (including death)
            caused by the Products or Software or McDATA's negligence or willful
            misconduct. As a condition of McDATA's obligation described in this
            Section 13.1, Reseller must promptly notify McDATA in writing of the
            claim, and cooperate with and grant to McDATA the sole control of
            the defense of any action and all negotiations for settlement and
            compromise. McDATA shall not be obligated to indemnify Reseller for
            any claim based upon (x) any alteration or modification made to the
            Product or Software unless made pursuant to McDATA's instructions,
            where such infringement, damage or injury would not have occurred
            but for such modification or alteration, and (y) any improper
            installation, storage, handling or use of the Products or Software
            not conforming to McDATA's published specifications by Reseller or
            its Channel Partners or End User Customers.

            In order to realize the worldwide intent of this Agreement as
            referenced in Section 6 above, and subject to Reseller's prior
            written notification of no less than thirty (30) days of its intent
            to sell Products or Software into additional countries not listed in
            subsection (a) above, the parties shall mutually agree to extend the
            above indemnification to such additional countries within thirty
            (30) days of such request. McDATA's agreement to extend the above
            indemnification of Reseller to such additional countries shall not
            be unreasonably withheld.

            In the event the Products or Software become, or in McDATA's opinion
            are likely to become, the subject of an infringement, McDATA shall
            have the right, at its option and expense, to (i) obtain the rights
            to continued use of such Product or Software, (ii) modify the
            Product or Software so that it is no longer infringing, or (iii)
            replace the Product or Software with a

            solution that is functionally equivalent, or (iv) refund to Reseller
            at the End User Customer's net book value for the Product.

            The foregoing remedies are the sole remedies for infringement of any
            intellectual property rights.

      13.2  RESELLER INDEMNIFICATION. Reseller agrees to indemnify, defend and
            hold McDATA harmless for claims (a) made against McDATA by third
            parties for damage to real property and tangible personal property
            or bodily injury (including death) arising out of Reseller's misuse
            of the Products and/or Reseller's negligence or willful misconduct
            and for which Reseller is legally liable, and (b) based upon
            misrepresentation by Reseller in conducting its activities under
            this Agreement.

14    CONFIDENTIALITY OF INFORMATION. McDATA and Reseller acknowledge that in
      the course of purchasing Products and meeting their respective obligations
      under this Agreement, each may be obliged to obtain information relating
      to the Products and to each other which is of a confidential or
      proprietary nature and which is marked as such ("McDATA Proprietary
      Information" or "Reseller Proprietary Information" or equivalent). Such
      Proprietary Information may include, but is not limited to, trade secrets,
      know-how, inventions, techniques, processes, programs, schematics, data,
      customer lists, financial information, and sales and marketing plans.
      McDATA and Reseller agree that to the extent that exchanges of Proprietary
      Information are necessary, any such exchange will be disclosed pursuant to
      the terms and conditions of that certain Confidential Disclosure Agreement
      No. 011898MCD dated March 31, 1998. Except as otherwise set forth herein,
      all information exchanged under this Agreement will be deemed to be
      non-confidential.

            Either party may publicly disclose the existence of this Agreement
            subject to prior review and approval by the other party; however,
            neither party shall disclose the specific terms and conditions to
            any third parties except by written agreement between McDATA and
            Reseller dated subsequent to the Effective Date, or as required by
            law or the order of a court of competent jurisdiction. This
            restriction in no way limits McDATA's ability to use the general
            form of this Agreement with other Resellers.

15    LIMITATION OF LIABILITY. EXCEPT FOR McDATA'S LIABILITY FOR INFRINGEMENT
      UNDER SECTION 13.1 AND EXCEPT FOR BREACH BY EITHER PARTY OF SECTION 14, IN
      NO EVENT WILL EITHER PARTY BE LIABLE TO THE OTHER FOR ANY INDIRECT,
      SPECIAL, INCIDENTAL OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING LOSS OF
      ANTICIPATED REVENUE OR LOSS RESULTING FROM BUSINESS DISRUPTION) ARISING IN
      CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, WHETHER IN AN ACTION FOR CONTRACT OR TORT
      AND WHETHER OR NOT SUCH PARTY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH
      DAMAGE AND FOR ACTUAL DIRECT DAMAGES IN EXCESS OF [*].

            Neither party will bring any legal action against the other more
            than one (1) year after the cause of action arose.

16 TERMINATION.

      16.1  In addition to any other rights or remedies which may be available
            at law or in equity, either party may terminate this Agreement upon

            (i)   If either party is in default of any material provision of
                  this Agreement and such default is not corrected within thirty
                  (30) days of receipt of written notice specifying the nature
                  and extent of the breach of the other party, this Agreement
                  may be terminated by the party not in default. If the default
                  is such that it cannot be reasonably cured within thirty (30)
                  days, then the defaulting party must commence cure within
                  thirty (30) days and proceed to cure with due diligence. The
                  written notice shall state the defaults and the effective date
                  of termination if the defaults are not cured.

            (ii)  In the event of proceedings in bankruptcy or insolvency
                  invoked by or against either party, or in the event of the
                  appointment of an assignee for the benefit of creditors or a
                  receiver, the other party may elect to immediately terminate
                  the Agreement by providing written notice of its election to
                  terminate.

      16.2  Termination of this Agreement shall not relieve either party of the
            obligations incurred under this Agreement pursuant to Sections
            3.2.1, 10.7, 10.8, 11.1, 11.3, 12.3, 12.5, 13, 14, 17.4, 17.6, 17.8
            and Exhibit B, which Sections shall survive such termination. In
            addition, any other obligations under this Agreement which by their
            nature extend beyond the expiration date or other termination of
            this Agreement shall survive and remain in effect until all such
            obligations are satisfied.

      16.3  Upon termination of this Agreement by McDATA or by Reseller, each
            party shall return all of the other's tangible confidential
            information, prototypes and loaned equipment provided in connection
            with this Agreement, except as set forth in Section 14, within sixty
            (60) calendar days. The provisions of the confidentiality agreement
            shall survive termination of this Agreement.

      3.2   Services will not include repair or replacement of any Product

            unsuitable physical or operating environment, or improper
            maintenance by you;

            (b) which has been used in combination with other equipment or
            software which are not recommended for use with such Product in
            McDATA's written specifications;

            (c) which has been moved, installed, deinstalled, altered or
            repaired by anyone other than McDATA or McDATA's authorized
            representative;

            (d) on which the original identification marks have been removed; or

            limitations described above, you agree to pay McDATA for such
            services at our then-current Time and Materials rates.

            connection with the Products are routinely archived and documented;

            notify McDATA in writing ninety (90) days prior to the relocation
            date. Upon receipt of such notification, McDATA may, at its option,

                  greater of [*] or the annual fees paid by you for Services.

            This limit also applies to any of our subcontractors. It is the

      Under no circumstances are we or our subcontractors liable for any of the
      following:
