                  written consent of Compuware, which shall not be unreasonably

                  withheld. Any such agreement with others shall be limited to

                  the distribution of VAR Application Software and shall contain

                  no other rights or provisions that may jeopardize the

                  intellectual property rights of Compuware.

                  Export Administration Regulations and U.S. Department of

                  Commerce Regulations and EU dual use legislation and local

                  import and export regulations regarding the export or transfer

                   of goods), and VAR shall provide Compuware with all

                  information reasonably necessary to ensure that the UNIFACE

                  Software complies with local laws and regulations and promptly

                  advise Compuware of any change or proposed change in such laws

         (k)       VAR acknowledges that each copy of UNIFACE Software and the

                  Deployment Software included in VAR Application Software

                  licensed to an End-User will require a software enabling key

                  ("SEK") that will be issued by Compuware upon receipt of: (i)

                  name and address of End-User, (ii) description of products,

                  (iii) Royalty, and (iv) description of the End-User's

                  infrastructure (i.e. Platforms, databases, etc.).

                  exterior label of every media, a copyright notice in this

                  Software is contained in Read-Only-Memory (ROM) chips, a

                  copyright notice in the form listed above, must be displayed

                  on the exterior of the chip and internally in the chip in

                  ASCII literal form.

 

         (m)       In order to ensure that VAR will be capable of providing

                  support to End Users and as a condition to the right of VAR to

                  grant sublicenses to End Users pursuant to the terms of this

                  Agreement, VAR agrees that, with respect to each qualified

                  hardware, platform and operating system configuration set

                  forth on Exhibit I for which VAR intends to grant a

                  sublicense, VAR shall purchase a license from Compuware for

                  use of the UNIFACE Software on such designated platform and

                  configurations in the quantities required by VAR to develop

                   deploy, maintain and support VAR Application Software, shall

                  install the UNIFACE Software on such designated platforms and

                  configuration and shall obtain and maintain the Support

         (n)       VAR shall have the right to use VAR Application Software

                  incorporating the Deployment Software, without incurring any

         (o)       VAR may deliver copies of the VAR Application Software to a

                  prospective End User on a trial basis for evaluation purposes

                  only after such prospective End User has signed a trial

                  license with provisions comparable to those contained in the

                  Compuware Trial Agreement, a copy of which is attached as

                  Exhibit III hereto. All such evaluation copies of the VAR

                   Application Software installed by VAR at a prospective End

                  User's site shall be removed by VAR upon completion of the

                  evaluation period. Any evaluation copies not removed and

                  returned to VAR at the end of the evaluation period, which

                  includes any extension of such evaluation period, are deemed

                  to be licensed, and royalties and related maintenance and

                  support fees in respect thereof shall become immediately due

                  to Compuware.

 

         (p)       Compuware reserves the right to License, support, install and

                  service its products, including without limitation UNIFACE

                  Software, either directly to End Users or through other VAR's,

                  representatives, distributors or other distribution channels.

                  nothing herein shall be deemed to give VAR an exclusive right

                  to develop or sell products similar to the VAR Application

                  Software. Notwithstanding anything in this Agreement to the

                  contrary, Compuware shall not market or license Deployment

                  Software to End Users for incorporation into VAR Application

                   Software. If Compuware does market Deployment Software to End

                  Users for incorporation into VAR Application Software, VAR

                  will not owe Compuware the applicable royalty for the VAR

                  Application Software that VAR licensed to such End User.

 

         (q)       VAR shall maintain accurate books and records of all dealings

                  under this Agreement including any licensing of UNIFACE

                  Software and VAR Application Software and the furnishing of

                  support services; Such books and records shall be prepared and

                  maintained in a manner that will reasonably facilitate

                  Compuware's verification of each report prepared by VAR. Such

                   books and records shall be kept and maintained by VAR during

                  the term of this Agreement and for a period of not less than

                  three years from the date of the transaction. If this

                  Agreement is terminated, VAR shall transfer copies of all such

                  books and records to Compuware within a period of thirty (30)

                  days of such termination upon Compuware's written request.

 

         (r)       VAR agrees to provide to Compuware a quarterly report setting

                  out the licensing and services furnished under the Agreement

                  including a reconciliation of royalties due Compuware in a

                  form substantially in the form of Exhibit IV. Such report

                  shall be submitted to Compuware no later than thirty (30) days

                  after the end of each calendar quarter in which this Agreement

                  is in effect.

 

                  In addition, VAR agrees to provide to Compuware a report of

                  each installation of VAR Application Software that report

                  shall include details of End Users (a purchase order that

                  includes End User name and address, description of products,

                  and description of infrastructure, i.e. platforms, databases,

                  etc.). Such report shall be submitted to Compuware upon the

                  installation and/or the license of the VAR Application

                  Software of the End User, whichever occurs sooner.

 

         (s)       Compuware shall have the right, not more than once during each

                  of VAR's fiscal years, on reasonable notice and during normal

                  business hours to visit and inspect VAR's place of business

                  and applicable sales records to attempt to verify VAR's

                  compliance with its obligations under this Agreement.

                  Additionally, VAR agrees that Compuware shall have the right

                  to have VAR's books and records of sales audited by an

                  independent auditor of Compuware's choice not more than once

                  during each of VAR's fiscal years, but not during the months

                  of January or February. Such auditor's fees shall be borne by

                  Compuware, unless such audit shows an underpayment of

                  royalties of 5% or more of the royalties actually owing for

                  the period in question, in which event, the auditor's fees

                  shall be paid by VAR.

                  containing substantially the following terms:

 

                  (i)       End User will not adapt, translate, decompile,

                            disassemble or create derivative works unless End

                           code license, 2) pay Compuware a royalty rate of

                           seven percent (7%) of the source code license fee,

                           and 3) VAR will require End User to license

                           transfer the license for "the VAR Application

                           Software provided that (i) Compuware receives advance

                           written notification, and (ii) the assignee or

                           transferee agrees in writing to be fully bound by the

                           terms and conditions of the software license

                           agreement. Variance with these terms will result in

                           the automatic termination of End User's license;

 

                  (iii)     End User may make a reasonable number of copies

                           necessary to exercise their license grants. End User

                            shall reproduce and include the copyright notice of

                           VAR and Compuware on any copy of the VAR Application

                           Software;

 

                  (v)       End User acknowledges and understands that portions

                           of the VAR Application Software are licensed to VAR

                           by Compuware;

 

                  (vi)      The copyright and other intellectual property rights

                           confidentiality of such information as End User would

                           exercise to safeguard its own proprietary information

                  (viii)    End User agrees that Compuware shall have the right,

                           as an intended third-party beneficiary of this

                  Support Service fees renew annually after the initial period.

                  Payment terms are net thirty (30) days from the date of

                  invoice and payable in US dollars.

 

         (b)       Payment of Royalties and Support Services Fees. VAR shall pay

                  royalties and Support Services fees due Compuware within

                  thirty (30) days after the end of each month in which fees for

                  such royalties or End Users support fees were recognized.

                  Royalty and Support Services payments shall be made to

                  Compuware in US dollars.

 

         (c)       Compuware may impose a late payment charge on all undisputed

                  unpaid fees and royalties equal to the lesser of (i) 1% per

                  month of the outstanding amount due or (ii) the maximum rate

                  allowed by law. If VAR becomes delinquent in the payment of

                  any amount due, Compuware may, among other remedies available

                  at law or in equity, suspend performance under this Agreement.

 

         (d)       If Compuware fails to remedy Severity One Defects in the

                   UNIFACE Software within a commercially reasonable period, VAR

                  may, among other remedies available at law or in equity under

                  this Agreement, with regard to those End Users who are under a

                  current maintenance program and are experiencing the Severity

                  One Defects problem:

 

                      (i)       suspend performance;

 

                      (ii)      cease to pay maintenance; and

 

                      (iii)     apply one of the following remedies with respect

                               to each End User experiencing the Severity One

                               Defects:

 

                           a)        withhold payment to Compuware in an amount

                                     equal to UNIFACE Software royalties paid by

                                    such Severity One experiencing End User; or

 

                           b)        receive a credit of royalty for the Severity

                                    One experiencing End User where VAR issues a

                                    credit as a result of Severity One Defects.

 

         (e)       If Compuware fails to release a Major Release within 24 months

                  of the previous Major Release, the then current royalty rate

                  shall decrease (0.5%) for each year thereafter in which a

                  Major Release is not released ("Adjustment"). If Compuware has

                  not issued a Major Release within 24 months during a prepay

                  royalty period, the prepaid royalty rate will remain in effect

                  with the Adjustment after the expiration of the pre-paid

                  royalty period, until such time that a Major Release is

                  issued. At such time, the royalty rate will revert to the rate

                  specified in Exhibit I (the non-prepay royalty rate) or JDA

                  may elect to make an additional pre-payment at that time to

                  reinstate the 7% rate. Compuware will provide a credit to JDA

                  towards future royalties equivalent to the amount JDA would

                  have paid if no Adjustment(s) were made, less what JDA

                  actually paid with the Adjustment(s).

                  license fee charged by VAR.

 

         7.        Obligations Of Compuware

 

         (a)       Compuware will make available upon request, with reasonable

                  notice, to VAR's sales and technical staff sales collateral

                  materials as reasonably required regarding UNIFACE Software,

                  Software. VAR agrees to have at all times a staff of a minimum

                  of two (2) persons who received such training. The technical

                  hotline will only be used to resolve problems stemming from

                  the demonstrable failure of the UNIFACE Software to work in

         (a)       Compuware warrants that UNIFACE Software delivered by

                  Compuware to VAR will operate on designated platforms in

                  substantial accordance with the specifications set forth in

                  Compuware user manuals.

 

         (b)       This warranty does not apply to any UNIFACE Software that: (i)

                  has been altered; (ii) has not been handled, installed,

                  maintained, or operated in substantial accordance with

                  Compuware instructions; or (iii) has been damaged by accident,

                  misuse, negligence, or external factors.

                  to this Agreement will be performed with reasonable skill and

                  care consistent with industry standards.

                  hereunder, marketed as "Year 2000 Compliant" and made

                  generally available after July 1, 1998 are enabled to process

                  post year 2000 dates. Specifically, Compuware defines year

                  2000 compliant as the Software being functional in a post year

                  2000 environment and will perform substantially as stated in

                  the Software documentation. Compuware Software may display

                  dates in either 2 or 4 digit year formats. If 2 digit year

                  displays are used, it will be clearly evident to the Software

                  user, based on Software function and documentation, that the 2

                  digit "00" represents the year 2000. When required, Software

                  will either process with 4 digit years and/or implement

         (f)       VIRUS: Compuware warrants that it has taken reasonable steps

                  to test any Software delivered hereunder for Computer Virus

                  date of delivery by Compuware and that Compuware will continue

                  to take such steps with respect to future enhancements or

                  modifications to the Software. "Computer Virus" is defined as

                  computer instructions that alter, destroy or inhibit the

                  Software and/or Licensee's processing environment, including,

                   but not limited to, other programs that self-replicate without

                  manual intervention, instructions programmed to activate at a

                  predetermined time or upon a specific event, and/or programs

                  purporting to do a meaningful function but designed for a

                  different function. Compuware will maintain a master copy of

                  each version of the Software, to the best of Compuware's

                  knowledge to be free and clear of any Computer Virus.

                 that the UNIFACE Software will meet VAR's requirements or those

                 of any End User.

 

         (h)       Notwithstanding the foregoing, Compuware makes no warranty

                  that operation of the UNIFACE Software will be uninterrupted

                  or error-free, nor that the UNIFACE Software will be

                  compatible with and/or work in conjunction with any VAR

                  Application Software or any other software or hardware.

 

         (i)       EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY STATED IN THIS AGREEMENT, THERE ARE NO

                  WARRANTIES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, BY OPERATION OF LAW OR

                  OTHERWISE, AND ALL SOFTWARE, SERVICES AND OTHER ITEMS ARE

                  DISCLAIMS THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND

                  FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE AS TO BOTH COMPUWARE AND

                   NON-COMPUWARE PRODUCTS. ANY WARRANTIES MADE TO VAR UNDER THIS

                  AGREEMENT EXTEND SOLELY TO VAR.

 

         9.        Limitations Of Liability And Indemnification

 

         (a)       VAR's sole and exclusive remedies for damages from any cause
