I. Terms and Conditions

A. GENERAL TERMS AND CONDITIONS

Red Hat Enterprise Linux are Linux-based operating systems provided under Red Hat's trademarks subject to the applicable end user license agreement. The term "Services" as used in this Agreement means, collectively, the Support Services and RHEN, each as defined herein. The term "Installed Systems" means the number of Systems on which Customer installs the Software. The term "System" means the hardware on which the Software is installed, which may be, without limitation, a server, a work station, a blade or an engine, as applicable. The initial number of Installed Systems is the number of copies of the Software that Customer purchases.

1. TERM AND TERMINATION

1.1 Term. The term of this Agreement shall be for the duration of all Services provided under this Agreement. The initial term for Services shall commence on the Effective Date of this Agreement and shall continue for a period of one (1) year. Thereafter, the term for Services shall renew for successive terms of one (1) year each unless either party gives written notice to the other of its intention not to renew at least sixty (60) days prior to the commencement of the next term; provided, however, Customer shall have the right to terminate this Agreement at any time after the first year by giving sixty (60) days prior written notice of termination to Red Hat. Customer shall remain obligated for all fees through the date of termination. p>

1.2 Termination for Breach. Red Hat may terminate this Agreement (a) in the event Customer fails to pay an invoice when due, (b) in the event Customer commits a material breach of this Agreement and fails to remedy that breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of material breach, or (c) as otherwise provided in this Agreement. Customer may terminate this Agreement in the event Red Hat commits a material breach of this Agreement and fails to remedy that breach within thirty (30) days of receipt of written notice of material breach.

2. PRICING, INVOICING AND TAXES. Customer agrees to provide Red Hat with accurate and complete billing information (including legal name, address, telephone number, and billing or credit information). Customer will report to Red Hat all changes to this information within thirty (30) days of the change. Red Hat reserves the right to suspend or cancel Services for non-payment. All fees are stated and must be paid in United States Dollars. If Customer is paying by credit card, then Customer authorizes Red Hat to bill Customer's credit card for the Services for the initial term and for the amount due at the time of renewal. If Red Hat has approved Customer to be invoiced, then Red Hat will invoice Customer for the total fees at the time of execution of this Agreement, and payment shall be due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date and any additional fees shall be due within thirty (30) days of the invoice date. All prices and rates quoted by Red Hat are exclusive of any foreign, federal, state, or local sales, excise, use, or similar taxes. Customer agrees to pay all such taxes, when applicable, regardless of whether such taxes are originally charged on Customer's credit card or appear on Red Hat's original invoice, or are later levied on Red Hat or Customer by a taxing authority, excluding any taxes levied solely on the net taxable income of Red Hat. Any renewal of this Agreement will be at Red Hat's list prices in effect ninety (90) days prior to renewal; provided, however, the first such renewal shall be at the same price per Installed Server paid during the initial term.

3. PAYMENT. Except in the case of breach of this Agreement by Red Hat or termination of this Agreement as provided in Section 1.1 hereof, any and all payments of amounts due under this Agreement are non-refundable. In the event Customer fails to make payment to Red Hat in the manner provided by this Agreement, Red Hat's remedies include (a) suspending Services until Red Hat receives full payment from Customer for all fees, including late fees and interest, due, or (b) terminating this Agreement without notice.

4. REPORTING AND AUDIT. If Customer wishes to increase the number of Installed System, then Customer will purchase from Red Hat additional Services for each additional Installed System. During the term of this Agreement and for one (1) year thereafter, Customer expressly grants to Red Hat the right to audit Customer's facilities and records from time to time in order to verify Customer's compliance with the terms and conditions of this Agreement. Any such audit shall only take place during Customer's normal business hours and upon no less than ten (10) days prior written notice from Red Hat. Red Hat shall conduct no more than one such audit in any twelve-month period except for the express purpose of assuring compliance by Customer where non-compliance has been established in a prior audit. Red Hat shall give Customer written notice of any non-compliance, and if a payment deficiency exists, then Customer shall have fifteen (15) days from the date of such notice to make payment to Red Hat for any payment deficiency. The amount of the payment deficiency will be determined by multiplying the number of underreported Installed Systems or Services by the annual fee for such item. If Customer is found to have underreported the number of Installed Systems or amount of Services by more than five percent (5%), Customer shall, in addition to the annual fee for such item, pay a penalty equal to twenty percent (20%) of the underreported fees.

5. NON-TRANSFERABLE. This Agreement, and all Services provided by Red Hat pursuant to this Agreement, may not be transferred, assigned or distributed without the prior written consent of Red Hat.
