Absent default or material breach by Beyond.com or termination if the Reseller's agreement with Microsoft is terminated, ITC shall not enter into a similar agreement with any third Party to supply Microsoft Products under the ITC BPA. Reseller agrees that it will not enter into a similar agreement to supply Microsoft Products for another third party under such third party blanket purchase order agreement with the Agency. Except as provided herein, nothing in this Agreement shall be construed as preventing either Party from engaging in any other activity in the ordinary course of business. 2.2. ESSENTIAL ELEMENT. Both Parties acknowledge that this Agreement and its attachments are essential to any BPA that ITC enters into with the IRS, for the Multiple Software Acquisition Project. Except as is specifically provided herein related to ITC's right to collect any outstanding payment following termination of this Agreement, ITC's rights to distribute Products to the Agency under the BPA, and to effect payment from the Agency, are conditional upon this Agreement being in full force and effect. 2.3. PARTIES' RESPONSIBILITIES. In addition to the other terms and conditions of this Agreement, the Parties have set forth their responsibilities with respect to the provision of Products to the Agency in Attachment A. Reseller agrees to perform the obligations set forth under the heading "Reseller Responsibilities" and ITC agrees to perform the obligations set forth under the heading "ITC Responsibilities." 3. PRODUCTS AND PRICING 3.1. ENTERPRISE LOT PRODUCTS. The prices listed on Attachment B are from Beyond.com to be sold through ITC as the Sales Agent to the IRS as Enterprise Lot Products only. ITC shall identify the prices for Enterprise Lot Products in the BPA as a one-time purchase price for a fixed number of seats and not as unit prices for individual products. To the extent permitted in the applicable GSA schedule, the prices of Enterprise Lot Products are not refundable and cannot be prorated. PAGE 2 OF 15 3 3.2. NON-ENTERPRISE ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS. Attachment C lists the prices from Beyond.com to ITC as the Sales Agent for Software Licenses for Non-Enterprise Additional Products to be sold to the Agency pursuant to ITC's BPA. The prices listed are good for the term of this Agreement but only as long as these products are commercially available. Software Licenses for Non-Enterprise Additional Products that are no longer commercially available are not authorized for distribution under this Agreement, unless specifically authorized by Reseller. Prices for newer versions of Software Licenses for Non-Enterprise Additional Products will be negotiated between the Parties and added to Attachment C as amendments to this Agreement. ITC will be responsible for negotiating corresponding price increases as modifications to the BPA with the Agency, and ensuring that the Agency purchases all new Non-Enterprise Additional Products at the most current product version and corresponding price, as stated in the BPA, as modified. New Software Licenses for Non-Enterprise Additional Products may not be purchased at the obsolete version and corresponding price even if Microsoft's "Upgrade Advantage" is simultaneously purchased with the new license. If Microsoft offers any Product to the general public at no charge, Reseller shall offer such Product to ITC for distribution to the Agency at no charge under the same terms, provided that the Agency may have to pay for any media requirements. 4.

Further, the Agency is entitled to 130,000 BackOffice Client Access Software Licenses at any time during the term of the Agreement, provided payment has been received pursuant with the Special Payment Terms. 4.1.2. UPON EXPIRATION. In the event that this Agreement naturally expires at the end of Option Year Four, the Agency is entitled to receive a fully-paid up, irrevocable and perpetual license for the Enterprise Lot Products, in the numbers identified in Attachment B, for the latest version of each Product that is or becomes commercially available during the term of this PAGE 3 OF 15 4 Agreement.

The quantities for each Agreement Year in the Termination Schedule (Attachment D), are not additive to the previous year and reflect the cumulative quantities for that Agreement Year. If such right to receive upgrades is terminated during the term, the upgrade Advantage payment shall not be prorated or refunded. A termination date will be specifically identified to Reseller in the formal termination notice. In the event that the second Enterprise payment (i.e., the payment for Option Year One) is not received in accordance with Section 5.3, the Agency is entitled to the latest version of the Software License for Enterprise Lot Products for only the quantity and the version of the specific Products deployed and installed by the termination date, up to the maximum quantities identified on the Termination Schedule (Attachment D) for the Base Year regardless of the remaining benefit available under Upgrade Advantage where payment has been received for the Base Period in accordance with Section 5.3. 4.2 NON-ENTERPRISE ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS 4.2.1. DURING THE TERM.

The terms of Section 4.1.3 above shall apply in the event of early termination/non-exercise of options. 4.3. NON-ENTERPRISE ADDITIONAL PRODUCTS. Microsoft's Upgrade Advantage for Non-Enterprise Additional Products may only be purchased by the Agency where the full term of the Upgrade Advantage period will fall within the term of this Agreement.

CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION 6.1 LIMITATION ON USE. A Party that receives another Party's Confidential and Proprietary Information agrees to only use such information for purposes of this Agreement. If, in order to utilize the Confidential and Proprietary Information as set forth in this Agreement, it becomes necessary for the receiving Party to copy, in whole or in part, any of the Confidential and Proprietary Information, the receiving Party may do so but for no other purpose(s). 6.2 LIMITATION ON DISCLOSURE. The receiving Party agrees that for a period of two years from the date of receipt or expiration or termination of this Agreement which ever is later, the receiving Party shall not disclose the Confidential and Proprietary Information to a third Party, without the prior written consent of the disclosing Party; provided, however, that ITC can provide Reseller's Confidential and Proprietary Information to the Agency as needed with an appropriate legend. Receiving Party shall use the same degree of care to avoid publication or dissemination of the Confidential and Proprietary Information as the receiving Party employs with respect to its own information of similar importance, but not less than reasonable care, and shall only disclose the Confidential and Proprietary Information to those employees and consultants with a "need to know." Receiving Party shall take appropriate action by way of instructions or written agreements with its employees receiving Confidential and Proprietary Information to advise such employees of all obligations under this Agreement. 6.3 EQUITABLE RELIEF.

Upon expiration or termination of this Agreement, the receiving Party shall return to the disclosing Party the disclosing Party's Confidential and Proprietary Information, including copies thereof.

TERM OF AGREEMENT AND APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS 7.1 TERM OF AGREEMENT. This Agreement shall be effective as of the Effective Date and shall terminate on April 30, 2000, unless otherwise terminated or extended as provided below. The maximum potential term of this Agreement, if all Option Years are exercised, is one (1) Base Period of 10.5 months, with three (3) one (1) PAGE 8 OF 15 9 year options to renew, and one seventeen (17) month option to renew ("Option Years") for a total of sixty three and a half months unless the Agency terminates earlier in writing the portion of ITC's BPA, relating to the sale of Products identified herein. In no event shall the total of the Base Year and all Option Years exceed sixty-three and a half consecutive months, unless modified in writing by mutual agreement of the Parties. 7.3. EXTENSION PROCEDURES. As long as ITC is not then in breach of any material provision of this Agreement, ITC may extend the term of this Agreement beyond the Base Period, for up to four Option Periods, three option periods of 12 months each duration, and one option period of 17 months duration, beginning on the first day following the expiration date of the Base Period. In order to exercise the option, ITC must give Reseller preliminary notice, in writing, not less than sixty (60) days prior to the expiration date, of its intention to do so. Extension of the term of this Agreement will obligate ITC to pay the next required annual installment payment for Enterprise Lot Products, as described in Section 5.3 above, unless superseded as set forth below. If the Agency does not extend ITC's BPA, ITC must notify Reseller no later than three (3) business days after ITC's receipt of written notice from the Agency that Agency will not exercise the next option. If no written notice is received by ITC but Agency fails to timely exercise the Option and orally informs ITC that it will not exercise the option, ITC shall inform the Reseller in writing no later than three (3) business days after receipt of oral notification from the Agency. Such notice shall supersede ITC's preliminary extension notice, and this Agreement shall expire at midnight of the last day of the current Agreement Year, unless terminated earlier as provided herein. The "termination date" as referred to in paragraph 4.1.3 of this agreement, will be the last day of the current Agreement Year, whether or not this is specifically stated in ITC's Option Notification letter to the Reseller. If Agency does not timely exercise the Option due to lack of sufficient funds, but informs ITC of its intention to exercise the Option upon receipt of adequate funding, ITC shall provide the information to the Reseller in writing, no later than three (3) business days after receipt of the information from the Agency. In the event this situation occurs, the Agreement will not be deemed to be terminated. If Reseller does not receive notification from ITC of the Agency's intention not to extend or the Agency's intent to extend upon receipt of adequate funding, as provided above, the option extension will be deemed to be in effect and ITC must provide an invoice to the IRS with the Beyond.com remittance information for the annual installment within fifteen (15) business days after the first day of the first month of the Option Year, at which time Reseller will send a purchase order to ITC for such installment. The period covered by this agreement is as follows: Base Period (10.5 months): June 15, 1999 -- April 30, 2000 Option Year One (17 months): May 1, 2000 -- September 30, 2001 Option Year Two (12 months): October 1, 2001 -- September 30, 2002 Option Year Three (12 months): October 1, 2002 -- September 30, 2003 Option Year Four (12 months): October 1, 2003 -- September 30, 2004 PAGE 9 OF 15 10 7.4. APPROPRIATION OF FUNDS. If any of the Agency's performance and obligation to pay Beyond.com for Products that Reseller sells through ITC under this Agreement is contingent upon availability of funding, ITC agrees that it shall not reproduce any Products unless sufficient funds for such Products have been duly obligated by the Agency in the form of a written, funded and signed delivery order to ITC. ITC agrees that, due to the uncertainty of future appropriations, any payments for Products ordered under this Agreement shall be made in full at the time as designated within this Agreement, with no option to defer all or part of such payment. 8. TERMINATION. 8.1. TERMINATION FOR CAUSE WITH NOTICE.

Either Party may terminate this Agreement immediately if Reseller or ITC files a petition for bankruptcy, or is adjudged bankrupt, or makes an assignment for the benefit of creditors, or files a petition, or otherwise seeks relief under or pursuant to any bankruptcy, insolvency or reorganization statute or proceeding, in accordance with the laws of the applicable jurisdiction, or if it discontinues its business, or if a custodian, receiver, or trustee were appointed for it, or a substantial portion of its business or assets. 8.3. IMMEDIATE TERMINATION FOR CAUSE. Either Party shall also have the right to terminate this Agreement, effective upon the giving of notice to the other Party and after providing a reasonable opportunity to cure, if the other Party (i) willfully violates or knowingly permits others to violate Microsoft Corporation's intellectual property rights or (ii) assigns or transfers, either voluntarily or by operation of law, any or all of its rights and obligations under this Agreement without having obtained the prior consent of the other Party. If the Agency engages in (i), above, then ITC shall use its best efforts to have the Agency promptly cease such conduct. 8.4. TERMINATION IF RESELLER'S AGREEMENT WITH MICROSOFT IS TERMINATED. Reseller shall have the right to terminate this Agreement immediately if Reseller's agreement with Microsoft, pursuant to which Reseller has the right to provide the Agency with Products, is terminated, provided that: (1) the termination is not due, either in whole or in part, to Reseller's acts, omissions, or to other Reseller conduct; and (ii) Reseller has used its best efforts to preclude such termination. 8.5. TERMINATION FOR CONVENIENCE. ITC may terminate this Agreement for its convenience by providing written notice to Reseller. ITC's sole liability to Reseller in the event of Termination for Convenience is payment for reasonable and actual costs incurred to the date of termination plus a reasonable profit thereon.
