AMENDMENT TERMS AND CONDITIONS
     1. [*]
     2. [*]
     3. [*]
     4. Extension of Agreement and Direct Reseller Addendum. Unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of the Agreement, the terms of the Agreement and the Direct Reseller Addendum, as amended, are hereby extended from August 31, 2009 to September 1, 2011.
     5. Amendment to the Terms. The parties agree that sections 5(b)(iii) and 5(c)(i) of the Agreement is hereby deleted in its entirety and replaced with the following:
     5(b)(iii) License to Company IP That Is Incorporated Into or Required For the Use of Deliverables or Inventory. If Company IP is incorporated into any Inventory or Deliverable, or and is necessary for the unfettered use or distribution of any Inventory or Deliverable by Microsoft or any Customer, then, unless the parties agree in writing on applicable license terms, Company is hereby deemed to grant to Microsoft and its Affiliates a worldwide, nonexclusive, perpetual (unless the Agreement terminates in accordance with section 15, in which case the applicable license grant will automatically terminate except for the instance in which Microsoft or a Customer requires continued use of Company IP that has been incorporated into Inventory existing at the time of termination, in which case Company grants the Customer and Microsoft the right to continue use of the Company IP solely to the extent necessary to use or distribute such existing Inventory), irrevocable, royalty-free, fully paid-up right and license, including under all current and future Intellectual Property, in each case, solely to the extent necessary to use or distribute such Inventory or Deliverable, as applicable, to:
          (A) Use the applicable Company IP;
          (B) publicly perform or display, transmit and distribute, copies of the applicable Company IP; and
          (C) sublicense to third parties the foregoing rights, including the right to sublicense to further third parties.
5 (c) Ownership and Use of Deliverables.
(i) Ownership of Deliverables. Except as expressly permitted in a SOW, All Deliverables shall be created by Company for Microsoft. Subject to Company’s retention of its rights in any Company IP, except as otherwise expressly provided in a SOW, all Deliverables that are specifically commissioned by Microsoft and originally created by Company for Microsoft are “work made for hire” for Microsoft under applicable copyright law. To the extent any Deliverables do not qualify as a work made for hire, Company hereby assigns to Microsoft (and its successors and assigns) all right, title and interest in and to the Deliverables, including all Intellectual Property rights therein. To the maximum extent permitted by law, Company waives all moral rights that may exist in the Deliverables. Deliverables shall include any data entered into any Company database in connection with performance of E-Commerce Activities. For the avoidance of doubt, nothing in this section 5(c)(i) shall be construed to limit Company’s retention of its rights in Company IP as provided in section 5(c)(iv).
     6. Definitions. Capitalized terms used in and not otherwise defined in this Amendment or Attachment 1 to this Amendment shall have the meanings given to them in the Agreement, the Direct Reseller Addendum or the Windows Marketplace Addendum (as the case may be).
     7. No Further Amendment. Except as expressly modified by this Amendment, the Agreement, the Direct Reseller Addendum, the Windows Marketplace Addendum and the existing SOWs shall remain unmodified and in full force and effect.
