1. DEFINITIONS
(a) "Anniversary Date" is the date that a renewal term of this
Agreement begins.

of eligible Products and related Support which Customer plans to order from each

HP receives Customer's order. "Special Products" are Products which have been
modified by mutual agreement to meet Customer requested changes.
(g) "Software" is one or more programs, capable of operating on a
computer, processor, or controller which is either listed separately as a
Software Product on the Price List, included with another Product on the Price
List, or fixed in hardware and not removable in normal operation.
(h) "Support" includes hardware maintenance and repair, Software
updates, maintenance and support services, consulting, training, and other
support services provided by HP.
2. PRICES
(a) Quoted prices are valid for the period indicated on the quotation
or for the applicable Ordering Period, whichever expires first.
(b) Prices include standard HP delivery to the receiving area at the
"Ship To" address in the country where Customer's order is placed.
(c) Taxes are not included in prices and will be invoiced, if
applicable, as separate items.
(d) Product prices remain valid for 180 days from the original order
date; change orders which extend delivery beyond 180 days become new orders at
prices in effect when HP receives the change orders.
(e) Support prices may be changed by HP upon 60 days written notice.
<PAGE> 3
3. DISCOUNTS
(a) Discounts are listed on Exhibits and are based on Estimated
Volumes. If a Product or Support is eligible on more than one Exhibit, the
highest applicable discount will be granted. Each purchase will be credited
toward the Estimated Volume of the Exhibit from which the discount is granted.
Additional credit may be granted if indicated on Exhibits.
(b) If Customer's orders exceed the Estimated Volume for an Exhibit
during the Ordering Period, Customer will be granted discounts on incremental
orders at the total volume level achieved at the time each additional order is
received. If incremental orders are cancelled, discounts on later orders will be
based on the volume of Products and Support actually delivered.
(c) If Customer's orders under an Exhibit during the first six months
of an Ordering Period are equal to 60% or more of the Estimated Volume required
to receive a higher discount level, then Customer's discount for that Exhibit
will be adjusted upward to the higher level for the remainder of that Ordering
Period.
(d) If orders used to meet Estimated Volumes are cancelled and not
replaced with new orders within 30 days, HP may adjust the Estimated Volumes and
related discounts in the next Ordering Period based on the volume of Products
and Support actually delivered.
4. ORDERS
(a) Product orders must reference this Agreement, be issued during the
applicable Ordering Period, and specify delivery within 180 days from order
date.
(b) Customer will issue orders from one location within its
organization and will specify "Ship To" addresses within the country where the
order is placed, unless otherwise mutually agreed.
(c) Customer will pay transportation and related charges for returning
Products to HP's shipping location if Product orders are cancelled after
shipment. Customer may incur additional charges for cancelling Special Product
orders. Customer may delete Products under Support or cancel Support orders upon
30 days written notice. Upon 60 days written notice, HP may cancel Support
orders.
5. DELIVERY
Delivery is subject to HP's Product availability at the time Customer's
order is received. HP will make every reasonable effort to meet delivery dates
quoted or acknowledged. If HP fails to deliver Products for 30 days beyond the
agreed delivery date, Customer may cancel such orders without charge.
6. SHIPMENT AND RISK OF LOSS
(a) HP will ship according to HP standard commercial practice. Customer
requested special packing or shipping instructions must be mutually agreed, and
charges will be billed separately to Customer.
(b) Title to hardware Products and risk of loss and damage will pass to
Customer at destination. If Products are shipped under Customer's shipping
instructions, title and risk of loss and damage will pass to Customer at HP's
shipping dock.
-2-
<PAGE> 4
7. INSTALLATION
(a) Product installation classification is defined by codes appearing
on HP's Price List. HP installation, when included in the purchase price, will
be considered complete when the Product passes HP's installation and test
procedures.
(b) Acceptance by Customer will occur upon completion of HP
installation for Products with installation in the purchase price and upon
delivery for Products without installation in the purchase price. When the
purchase price of a Product does not include HP installation, acceptance by
Customer will be presumed unless Customer demonstrates within 14 days after
delivery that the Product does not pass HP's established test procedures or
programs.
(c) If HP installation is scheduled or delayed by Customer more than 30
days after delivery, Customer acceptance of the Products will occur on the 31st
day after the delivery date.
8. PAYMENT
(a) Payment will be due 30 days from the date of HP's invoice. Charges
for contractual Support services will be invoiced in advance. HP may change
credit terms without notice.
(b) If Customer fails to pay any sum when due or fails to perform under
this or any other agreement with HP after 10 days written notice, HP may
discontinue performance under this Agreement.
9. SUPPORT
(a) An order for Support will constitute Customer acceptance of the
terms of the Exhibit for that Support in effect on the date of order, which
terms are incorporated by this reference.
(b) To be eligible for Support, Products must be in good operating
condition and at current specified revision levels. HP will charge HP standard
rates in effect on the date of the Support order to bring non-eligible Products
up to these requirements.
(c) HP may, at no additional charge, modify Products to improve
operation and reliability or to meet legal requirements.
(d) Relocation of Products is Customer's responsibility and may result
in additional Support charges and modified service response times. Products
moved to another country may continue to be serviced subject to availability of
an HP authorized Support provider.
(e) HP does not provide Support for nonqualified products.
"Nonqualified products" are hardware and software not supplied or approved by
HP, and Products for which Customer does not allow HP to incorporate
modifications. Customer is responsible for removing nonqualified products to
allow HP to perform Support services. If Support services are made more
difficult because of a nonqualified product, HP will charge Customer for the
extra work at HP's standard rates.
(f) Support does not cover any damage or failure caused by:
(1) use of non-HP media and supplies or use of items not
designated for use with Products; or
(2) site conditions that do not conform to HP's site
specifications; or
-3-
<PAGE> 5
(3) neglect, improper use, fire or water damage, electrical
disturbances, transportation by Customer, work or modification by people other
than HP employees or subcontractors, or other causes beyond HP's control.
(g) Customer is responsible for the security of its proprietary and
confidential information and for maintaining a procedure external to the
Products to reconstruct lost or altered Customer files, data or programs.
Customer must have a representative present when HP provides Support services.
Customer must notify HP if Products are being used in an environment which poses
a potential health hazard to HP employees or subcontractors; HP may require
Customer to maintain such Products under HP supervision.
10. WARRANTY
(a) HP warrants hardware Products against defects in materials and
workmanship. If HP receives notice of such defects during the warranty period,
HP will, at its option, either repair or replace hardware Products which prove
to be defective.
(b) HP warrants that Software will not fail to execute its programming
instructions due to defects in material and workmanship when properly installed
and used on the hardware product designated by HP. If HP receives notice of such
defects during the warranty period, HP will repair or replace Software media
which does not execute its programming instructions due to such defects.
(c) HP does not warrant that the operation of Products will be
uninterrupted or error free. If HP is unable, within a reasonable time, to
repair or replace any Product to a condition as warranted, Customer will be
entitled to a refund of the purchase price upon prompt return of the Product to
HP.
(d) Products carry a standard warranty as defined by a code appearing
on HP's Price List in effect on the date HP receives the Customer's order,
unless the Customer has purchased an option or a system which supersedes the
Product's standard warranty. Additional information on warranty is available on
request. HP reserves the right to change the warranty code; such changes will
affect only new orders. The warranty period begins on the date of delivery or on
the date of installation if installed by HP. If Customer schedules or delays HP
installation more than 30 days after delivery, warranty begins on the 31st day
from delivery.
(e) Products with on site warranty will receive warranty services
outside the country of initial purchase if Customer pays HP's international
prices for the Products. Products with return to HP warranty purchased at HP's
international prices and battery-powered Products may be returned to the closest
HP authorized repair center worldwide. All other Products with return to HP
warranty must be returned to an HP authorized repair center within the country
of original purchase.
(f) Warranty does not apply to defects resulting from improper or
inadequate maintenance or calibration by Customer, Customer-supplied software,
interfacing or supplies, unauthorized modification or improper use, operation
outside of the published environmental specifications for the Product, or
improper site preparation or maintenance by Customer.
(g) THE ABOVE WARRANTIES ARE EXCLUSIVE AND NO OTHER WARRANTY, WHETHER
WRITTEN OR ORAL, IS EXPRESSED OR IMPLIED. HP SPECIFICALLY DISCLAIMS THE IMPLIED
WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE.

acquires the right to license or sublicense ("added value") and which VAR sells
or leases to end-users (other than VAR's corporate parent, division, or any
subsidiary of corporate parent) in the regular course of business. This added
value represents a significant functional and value enhancement to the HP

2. HP SYSTEMS SALES
Subject to the terms and conditions set forth herein, HP agrees to pay
VAR compensation for a qualifying system sale by HP. HP will have sole authority
to determine whether a qualifying system sale has occurred. A qualifying system
sale meets the following criteria:
a. VAR makes a direct sale or license of standard software package
which may include any standard options to the product or customization of a
standard option to a specific end-user Customer for use on a designated HP
computer system.
As used herein, "standard software package" will be used to mean an
existing, off-the-shelf, in stock software package which VAR routinely licenses
to Customers to meet a general need and is not created specifically for one
single Customer based upon that Customer's specifications.
As used herein, "standard options" will be used to mean, an existing,
off-the-shelf, in stock option(s) to the standard software package product which
VAR routinely licenses to Customers to meet a general need and is not created
specifically for one single Customer based upon that Customer's specifications.
As used herein, "customization of an option" will be used to mean, the
partial modification or personalization of a standard option (as defined above)
to meet a specific Customer's desired use of that standard option.

customization of an option may not be one which HP has any right to sell or
distribute; and
-21-
<PAGE> 23
b. HP makes a direct sale or lease of a qualifying HP computer system
to that end-user Customer at HP's published end-user discount. A qualifying
system is any system containing a Central Processing Unit (CPU) which will run

which is incorporated by reference into this Exhibit. No incentive compensation
will be provided for any products not listed on the then current Exhibit A3000
(VEU Computer System Products); or
HP makes a direct sale or lease of a qualifying HP computer system
upgrade to that end-user Customer at HP's published end-user discount. A
qualifying system upgrade in any upgrade listed on the then current Exhibit
A3000 (VEU Computer System Products), provided that the original HP computer
system that is being upgraded was originally sold by HP or an authorized HP
reseller to that end-user Customer; and
c. Delivery of the computer system or upgrade occurs not more than 12
months following the date of the initial end-user purchase order; and
d. HP determines that VAR's software product satisfies the end-user
Customer's primary application needs; and
e. HP determines that VAR's software package is a material and
essential factor in the end-user Customer's decision to purchase the HP system
or upgrade.
3. COMPENSATION
a. In order to receive any compensation, including any co-op funds,
under this Exhibit:
1. VAR must provide HP with an executed copy of the purchase
order/software license agreement between the VAR and the end-user Customer
indicating a total adjusted net price of at least $6,000 (U.S.).
2. The total adjusted net price of the purchase order/software
license will be determined as the sum of the net price of the standard software
package(s) included in the purchase order/software license, including net
installation fees; plus any standard options to the product(s) at net price;
plus up to 30% of the standard option net price as a customization fee, if
applicable; less taxes, maintenance, travel, per diem, telephone charges,
training, support or any other miscellaneous charges.
3. VAR must execute and submit to HP an Incentive Request
Form. This form must be delivered to HP prior to CPU shipment date, or within 60
days of the date that HP receives the end-user Customer's purchase order for the
HP system(s), whichever occurs later.
HP reserves the right to request additional information or
documentation from time to time in order to reasonably determine whether
compensation is due. Failure of VAR to comply with HP's information requirements
will result in loss of any compensation otherwise due.
4. VAR must have resold at least one HP computer system listed
on Exhibit A3001 or A3003 during the last 2 years.
b. The compensation for a qualifying system sale will be the lesser of
the following two calculations:
1. 4% percent of the net selling price of the qualifying
system hardware listed on Exhibit A3000 on order with HP on the date that HP
makes shipment to the end-user Customer of the Central Processing Unit (CPU) on
the order for the qualifying system; or
-22-
<PAGE> 24
2. 30% percent of the qualified total adjusted net price, as
described in Paragraph 3.(a)(2) above, VAR actually charges the end-user
Customer for VAR's software package as reflected on the purchase order/software
license agreement.
HP reserves the right to vary the VAR compensation when the end-user
purchase is not at HP's published end-user discounts.
c. Total HP compensation obligation to VAR under this Agreement for
claims either submitted or eligible for submission during the 12 month Ordering
Period of this Agreement will not exceed the greater of $250,000 or 2 percent of
VAR's original or revised estimated volume commitment on Exhibits A3001 or A3003
(VAR Computer System Products).
d. HP will provide any compensation due VAR for a qualifying sale 60
days following the date HP ships the CPU to the end-user Customer or from the
date all documentation required for payment of compensation is received by HP,
whichever occurs later. Any compensation paid will be net of any outstanding
sums due HP from VAR. VAR will be responsible for payment to HP on a timely
basis any sums otherwise due regardless of any expectations of a compensation
payment pursuant to this Exhibit. HP reserves the right to make partial payments
to VAR if the Incentive Request Form references multiple CPU's on various
end-user orders.
e. If HP determines that the software packages of more than one
eligible VAR are involved in the sale, HP reserves the right to divide the
compensation in such proportions the involved parties request, or as HP
determines to be appropriate and HP's decision will be binding. However, in no
event will the total compensation provided by HP exceed 4% percent of HP's net
selling price for the qualifying system as described above.
f. HP reserves the right to apply compensation calculated in Paragraph
3.(b) above as a credit against any sums due HP from VAR; otherwise the
compensation will be provided as follows:
1. 4% percent of the net selling price of the qualifying
systems products (or the entire compensation, if the compensation is less than
this amount) will be placed into the VARs co-op account, in accordance with HP's
then current documentation for VARs describing the co-op program.
g. When the VAR makes a sale or license of a software package that, at
the time of the original sale or license, provides the end-user with the right
to make multiple copies of the qualifying software package, compensation may be
paid under the following criteria:
1. If the sale or license of the standard software package,
standard option(s) and any customization of standard options to the software and
the right to copy the software for use on additional computer systems results in
the sale by HP of multiple systems (system upgrades are excluded) to the
end-user for use with that specific software application, HP will issue
compensation for each qualifying hardware system sold by HP to the end-user.
2. Compensation payments will be issued for a period of 30
months from the date of the initial hardware system purchase order.
The compensation for each qualifying system sale will be
calculated as described in Paragraph 3.(b) above. However, in no event will the
total compensation exceed 30% of the initial adjusted net price VAR actually
charges the end-user for VAR's software package and right to copy that software
as reflected by the purchase order/software license agreement. VAR must deliver
the Incentive Request Form to HP prior to CPU shipment date, or within 60 days
of the date of the initial end-user purchase order for the systems covered by
the multiple-system license, whichever occurs later.
-23-
<PAGE> 25
3. VAR must inform HP that the software being sold or licensed
includes the right to make multiple copies which may result in multiple system
sales at the time of submitting the initial Incentive Request Form. Failure to
so inform HP will result in compensation being paid only on the initial
qualifying system sale.
h. VAR may qualify for compensation on a direct sale of a system
upgrade by HP only if VAR sold a new software package to the end-user which HP
determines is a material and essential factor in the end-user Customer's
decision to purchase the upgrade.
i. VAR agrees that the compensation as defined herein will be the full
and complete compensation for any obligations undertaken pursuant to this
Exhibit.
j. HP reserves the right to withhold payment of any or all compensation
otherwise due for a qualifying sale if HP reasonably believes or determines that
VAR has not or will not fulfill its contractual obligations to the end-user. HP
will have the right to recover any compensation paid in the event VAR fails to
perform such contractual obligations.
4. SUPPORT
VAR will offer its Customers full support on any software packages
which form the basis for a qualifying sale. VAR's Customer support must include
at least the following:
a. Installation support to assist end-user Customers in installing the
software packages for use with the HP system;
b. Sufficient documentation to enable end-user Customers to operate the
software packages in accordance with VAR specifications;
c. Training for end-user Customer's staffs to allow satisfactory
utilization of software packages with the HP system; and
d. Timely response to all software package faults or bug reports
reported by either end-user Customer or by HP.
5. INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY INDEMNIFICATION
VAR will indemnify and hold HP harmless from any and all damages,
liabilities, costs, and expenses (including reasonable attorneys' fees) incurred
by HP as a result of any claim or proceeding alleging that the use of a software
package either alone or in connection with an HP system infringes any patent,
copyright, trademark, or other proprietary right of any third party.
6. RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN PARTIES
a. VAR is an independent contractor and will be free to set its own
prices for all software packages and to license or sell them to end-user
Customers for its own account.
b. No agency or joint venture relationship is created by this Exhibit.
Neither party will have any right or authority to act on behalf of the other or
will represent that it has such right or authority.
c. This Exhibit is not exclusive and either HP or VAR may enter into
similar agreements with other parties.

EXHIBIT DA
VAR DUAL AGGREGATION TERMS
The purpose of this Exhibit is to set forth the additional terms which apply to
qualifying Customers who elect to participate in the HP VAR Dual Aggregation
Program for Computer Products. Multinational VAR should be aware that Dual
Aggregation may not be implemented in some of the countries in which they do
business, and credit will not be given for sales in countries where the Dual
Aggregation program has not been implemented.
1. ELIGIBILITY
A qualifying Customer is any VAR that has an HP Purchase Agreement that
includes Exhibits A1001, A2001, A3001, A2003, or A3003, and Exhibit CB.
2. DUAL AGGREGATION
VARs who elect to participate in this Program will, in addition to the
compensation fees paid under the terms of Exhibit CB, receive purchase agreement
credit for the leveraged end-user orders placed with HP subject to the following
terms:
a. The end-user Customer has a current HP Purchase Agreement and
purchases qualifying products associated with a request for compensation payment
directly from HP under the terms of that Agreement. Orders from the U.S.
Federal Government are not eligible.
b. Purchase agreement credit will count towards the estimated volume
for Exhibits A1001, A2001, A3001, A2003, or A3003 under the terms of this
Agreement at the HP List Price of the qualifying products which appear on
Exhibits A1000, A2000, and A3000 at the time the order is received by HP.
Purchase agreement credit from leveraged end-user orders will cease when either
the accumulated leveraged end-user order credit reaches one-third of the
original or revised estimated quantity for Exhibits A1001, A2001, A3001, A2003,
or A3003; or when the VAR has reached its original or revised commitment.
Purchase agreement credit from leveraged end-user orders will not be used to
qualify for higher discounts during the term of this Agreement, nor will it be
used for determining the estimated volume on a succeeding agreement except as
provided above.
c. For orders leveraged by more than one qualifying HP Value Added
Business, VAR will receive half credit when another HP VAR or Software Supplier
leveraged the order, or one third credit when two other HP VARs and/or Software
Suppliers leveraged the order. HP reserves the right to make the final
determination relating to the credit amount in situations where more than three
VARs and/or Software Suppliers are involved.

rights to the Insignia through use. Participant agrees not to attack or

Participant will comply with all provisions in this Exhibit and the Referenced
Contract as well as all rules, standards or guidelines promulgated from time to
time by HP for the display and use of the Insignia. Participant will at all
times use the Insignia in good taste and will refrain from using it in a manner
that would bring the Insignia or HP into disrepute. Participant is not
authorized to use, and shall not use, any other HP Mark on, or in connection
with, the sale of Authorized Products. Participant is not authorized to, and
shall not purport to, authorize its customers, or anyone else, to use any HP
Mark, including the Insignia. Neither the Insignia, nor any other HP Mark shall

appropriate measures as specified below. Participant understands that HP will
from time to time evaluate the Authorized Product for compliance with the
Standard of Quality, including surveying Participant's customers for the
Authorized Product; and Participant agrees to cooperate with HP in such
evaluations upon request.
-28-
<PAGE> 30
5. TERMINATION
HP may terminate or suspend the foregoing Authorization (i) at will
upon thirty (30) days prior written notice in the event HP suspends or changes
the Program or (ii) immediately upon written notice to Participant if
Participant fails to comply with any of the provisions of this Exhibit or any of
the rules or standards promulgated by HP for the use of the Insignia. This
Authorization shall automatically terminate upon the termination of the

Authorized Products and advertising materials still in Participant's possession
or control on the date of termination, and Participant will replace any

Insignia.
6. APPROVALS
Participant will, upon request by HP, submit to HP for its prior
approval any and all proposed uses for the Insignia. Any failure by HP to object
to a particular practice, use or omission by Participant shall not be construed

use, or omission in the future, nor shall it be construed as an approval of such
practice, use or omission.
7. REGISTRATIONS
Participant will cooperate with HP in making or facilitating any
governmental registrations or submission that are necessary to protect the
Insignia and HP's ownership thereof, including, but not limited to, registration
of Participant as a Registered User of the Insignia. Upon termination of this
Exhibit, Participant will cooperate with HP in the revocation of any such
registration.

Participant's relationship with HP will be that of an independent
contractor. Neither party will have, nor represent that it has, any power, right
or authority to bind the other party, or to assume or create any obligation or
responsibility, express or implied on behalf of the other party. Nothing stated
in this Exhibit shall be construed as creating a legal partnership between
Participant and HP, or as creating the relationship of employer and employee,
master and servant or principal and agent between the parties.
9. COMMUNICATIONS WITH THIRD PARTIES
Participant understands that the term "partner" is often used to
promote arms-length relationships between a hardware vendor and non-affiliated
business entities such as VARs, OEMs and software suppliers. Participant shall
not suggest that the use of the term "partner" as part of the Insignia implies
any actual legal partnership between Participant and HP. Participant shall not
hold itself out to third parties as being in a legal partnership with HP,
sharing profits or losses with HP, or sharing management responsibility with HP.
