f)                All payments are nonrefundable. IBM will not accept returns or exchanges and will not issue credit for returns you accept from your Customers.

 

6.              Subscription and Support

 

a)              For each Program license with Subscription and Support in effect, IBM will:

 

(i)  make available to you and authorize you to upgrade to the most current commercially available version, release, or update, should any be made available;

(ii)  provide you with assistance for your code related questions; and

(iii) provide assistance via telephone and, if available, electronic access, only to your technical support personnel during the normal business hours (published prime shift hours) of your IBM support center. (This assistance is not available to your Customers). IBM provides Severity 1 assistance 24 hours a day, every day of the year.

 

The IBM support specified in the paragraph above may not be available for down-level versions or releases of Programs.

 

b)             Subscription and Support does not include assistance for:

 

(i)   the design and development of applications;

(ii)  the use of Programs in other than their specified operating environment; or

(iii) failures caused by products for which IBM is not responsible under this Agreement.

 

c)              IBM will provide 12-months notice prior to withdrawing Subscription and Support for a Program. If IBM withdraws Subscription and Support for a particular Program, you understand that IBM will not make Subscription and Support Renewal available for that Program.

 

d)             While Subscription and Support is in effect for a Program license, you agree to provide to your Customers updates to the Programs as such updates are made available to you by IBM.

 

e)              You must provide all support for the Value-Add Component(s). The following specifies each party’s support responsibilities regarding the Programs:

 

For all Programs you distribute, you or your distributors will provide Level 1 and Level 2 Support to Customers.

 

For Program licenses covered under Subscription and Support, IBM will provide the support to you as described in this section, which includes assistance for Level 2 Support, if it has been identified during Level 1 Support that the problem is with the Program. You agree to be the interface to Customers for this support.

 

For Program licenses not covered under Subscription and Support, IBM will only provide you access to IBM databases containing information on known Program defects, defect corrections, restrictions, and bypasses for the unmodified portion of Programs. IBM will maintain this information for a minimum of one year after you acquire the Program. You agree to be the interface to Customers for this service.

 

Consult the IBM Software Support Handbook for further information at:

“http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/handbook/home.html”

 

Level 1 Support means taking the first support call from a Customer and fulfilling the following steps:

 

(i)             Qualify incoming calls:  Determine if the request is for a new or existing case. Assign a priority to a new case (priority one through priority four). For existing cases, obtain case information.

 

(ii)          Characterize the problem and environment: Gather information about the case and determine if the Program causes the problem.  Completely define and describe the problem. Identify ways to understand the problem’s behavior.  Document the characterization information. Analyze problem symptom(s), attempt to find root cause when appropriate and describe the result of such attempts.  Determine if the problem is a known Program problem by accessing IBM online support resources.

 

6



 

(iii)       If it is determined to be a Program problem, contact IBM technical support. For new cases, open a case and select a priority.  For existing cases, state the case number. Provide the case information you have gathered to the support engineer.

 

Level 2 Support means the service provided to analyze or repeat the error, or to determine that the error is not repeatable. This service also includes in-depth technical analysis.

 

7.              Miscellaneous Terms/Conditions:

 

a)              You certify that you are a PartnerWorld member in good standing, and agree to maintain such status for the term of this Transaction Document.

 

b)             Any information exchanged under this Agreement that is identified as confidential by either party will be governed by the confidentiality terms of the PartnerWorld Agreement.

 

c)              ***

 

d)             IBM reserves the right to change the part numbers and/or pricing metrics for the Programs and/or Subscription and Support listed in Section 1, upon written notice to you. Changes to either part numbers or pricing metrics will not cause a change in the effective prices for either Programs or Subscription and Support.

 

e)              ***

 

f)                If IBM announces a general SRP price increase for the Programs and/or Subscription and Support listed in Section 1, IBM reserves the right to pass the price increase(s) to you with 30 days written notice. The price increase(s) will be effective on the annual anniversaries of the effective date of the Transaction Document, are not retroactive, and will not exceed *** per year.

 

g)             IBM provides a License Information Document (“LI”) for each Program.  You must ensure that your Customers are bound by the terms in the LI and all licensing files, including NOTICES files, which accompany or are included in the Program. You agree to be bound by such terms when you use the Programs as authorized under this Agreement.   Notwithstanding the above, terms in the LI referencing the IBM International Program License Agreement (IPLA) do not apply and terms in the LI referencing pricing metrics do not apply to the extent they conflict with this Agreement.

 

h)             If a Program contains third party code that is provided under a third-party license agreement, then the terms and conditions of the third party license agreement apply to such code. Except in the copying and distribution of the Programs, you may not use third parties’ names or trademarks, including in connection with the marketing of the Value Add Component or Solution, without the Third Parties’ prior written consent.

 

i)                 The license granted for the Programs is a “restricted license” which means the Programs may only be used in conjunction with the Value-Add Components as part of the Solution.

 

j)                 Each party agrees to comply with all applicable export and import laws and regulations, U.S. embargo and sanctions regulations and prohibitions on export for certain end uses or to certain users.

 

Programs may contain cryptography subject to the U.S. Export Administration Regulations (EAR). Transfer to, or use by, users of Programs or Solutions may be prohibited or subject to export or import laws, regulations or policies, including those of the United States . Licensee assumes all responsibility for complying with all applicable laws, regulations and policies regarding the export, import, or use of Programs and Solutions.

 

k)              Use of the WebSphere Transformation Extender is restricted to individual point to point connections from/to Lawson Applications and Non-Lawson Applications, and Lawson-to-Lawson connections.

 

l)                 ***

o)             IBM will allow you and your Certified Business Partners and other contractor’s located within the Territory to perform you obligations in connection with the development, testing marketing, distribution and support of any or all of the Solutions under the terms and conditions of this Agreement.  The use of such entities however does not relieve you of your obligations under this Agreement.

 

p)             In the event that Lawson merges with or acquires the capital stock or assets of another entity, Lawson may at its option request IBM to include that entity’s products under this Agreement under the terms to be negotiated between the parties.

 

q)             Either party may request, upon thirty (30) days written notice to the other, at any time during the term of the TD, to initiate discussions to request modifications to the TD terms, including revisions to Amazon EC2 metrics and capacity equivalencies, descriptions including the contents of Attachment A.  The parties also agree to consider adding pricing for other providers with appropriate metrics (similar to Amazon EC2) as mutually agreed upon.  In particular, the parties agree that if a product or service like Amazon EC2 becomes available in the marketplace, or if Amazon changes the metrics for calculating EC2 Compute Units as currently described in Attachment A, upon Lawson’s request, the parties shall negotiate in good faith to include such additional product/service under similar terms that apply for Amazon EC2 pursuant to this TD09.  Modifications to existing terms will be set forth in an amendment as mutually agreed to by the parties in writing.

 

r)                Program entitlements for License and Subscription & Support for Customers who have licensed the Solution prior to the effective date of this TD will not be subject to CPU Core caps or EC2 Compute Unit caps.  For Solutions licensed prior to the effective date of this TD, each such Solution shall be deemed licensed pursuant to the Bundled metric as set forth in this TD, and any Subscription and Support obtained for such Solutions shall be paid for according to the Table 4 and Table 7 set forth in Section 1.  Additional capacity pricing for Subscription & Support as provided in (Tables 2, Table 3, Table 5 and Table 6) does not apply to the Customers who have licensed the Solution prior to the effective date of this TD.

 

s)              The Territory with this Transaction Document shall be worldwide, except where prohibited by law.
