Exhibit A Distributor Forecast Report
Following is the Distributor Forecast Report that must be submitted by each distributor at least once each calendar month no later than the tenth of each month. Kindly follow the guidelines listed at the bottom while completing the report.
Sales Leads
A sales lead is a person who has expressed interest in a Proginet product and is in the early stages of evaluation (research gathering, etc). Proginet tracks sales leads through SalesForce.com. As a member of the Proginet partner family you will be provided with a SalesForce.com Partner Portal ID and password. Any leads received in your territory will be passed to you through the SalesForce.com Partner Portal. Here you will be able to track any and all information relating to the lead and sales follow-up. In accordance with the Distributor Agreement SalesForce.com leads must be updated at least once each month.
Once this lead shows true interest in the Proginet solution it will be converted to an opportunity. When a lead is converted to an opportunity, please follow the process below to update your account executive.
Sales Opportunities
Proginet considers a sales opportunity as any account with a need that is likely to purchase. This stage is reached when one of the following three actions occurs. Please denote all open opportunities on the form listed below, or a similar version, and provide this information to your account executive on a monthly basis

Exhibit B Proginet Foreign Exchange Policy
The Need
In a growing number of instances, Proginet Distributors need to price and negotiate contracts in a foreign currency (local currency), not US Dollars. Since local currencies constantly fluctuate in relationship to US Dollars, a policy is needed to specifically define the rules of dealing with local currencies from the time that an initial price is proposed to a prospect thru the actual collection and remittance of funds for new license fees and maintenance fees.
When this Policy Applies
This policy applies when a Software License Agreement (SLA) is denominated in any currency other than US Dollars. In these instances, the distributor must submit the SLA to Proginet in conjunction with a Distributor Affirmation Form. The customer will make all license and maintenance payments to the Distributor or Proginet’s designated payment agent in this currency. If an SLA is denominated in US Dollars, all of the standard procedures outlined in the Distributor Agreement apply and this Policy does not apply.
Summary
This policy sets standards for local currency pricing decisions at four checkpoints during the sales cycle:
| (1) | The Quote Date: the day upon which a price quote is given to a customer |
| (2) | The Contract Date: the day that the SLA is signed |
| (3) | The Payment Date: the day that the license and first maintenance payment is made to the Distributor |
| (4) | The Anniversary Date: the anniversary date of the SLA which is the date upon which annual software maintenance payments are due |
Policy Details
| 1. | The Quote Date – This is the date that the distributor issues a price quote to a prospect. This price quote will be in local currency and all price negotiations will be in local currency. There are two ways that the distributor can obtain the price: |
| a. | The first is via the official Proginet list price converted into the local currency. |
| b. | The second way is to request a price quote from Proginet. This is used when a distributor wants to offer a discount to a potential customer for a specific opportunity. The distributor will request a quote and Proginet will fax or email the quote to the distributor containing all of the terms upon which Proginet will approve the price for this opportunity. This quote will be valid for 90 days unless otherwise specified. |
| 2. | The Contract Date – This is the actual date that the contract is signed by the customer. Proginet will apply the currency conversion rate as of this date for internal booking purposes. When the exchange rate is applied to the local currency quote, it will yield the license fees and maintenance fees in US Dollars |
| 3. | The Payment Date – This is the date that the distributor actually receives payment from the customer. This date may be 30 to 60 days from the Contract Date. The distributor is obligated to remit to Proginet its share of the revenues in the local currency within a timeframe in the distribution agreement. The revenue sharing percentages as detailed in the distribution agreement will be used to calculate the license and maintenance fees to be remitted to Proginet for this contract. The amount to be booked in US Dollars will be the amounts calculated on the Contract Date. By the time the distributor receives the payment in local currency, the exchange rate may have gone up or down in terms of US dollars. Proginet will apply this difference internally according to US GAAP, whether the amount increases or decreases. |
| 4. | The Anniversary Date – This is the annual date as measured from the Contract Date and applies to maintenance renewal. It is customary that the distributor will invoice the customer for annual maintenance prior to this date. The amount to be invoiced will be the maintenance fees as stipulated in the SLA plus any applicable annual increases. The SLA must stipulate that annual maintenance will be due in local currency as long as the fluctuation in the exchange rates from the contract date to the anniversary date is not greater than 15%. If the exchange rate is greater than 15%, Proginet will work with the Distributor to develop a maintenance amount fair to all parties. |
The annual maintenance fee will be billed in local currency. The distributor is obligated to remit to Proginet its share of the revenues in the local currency within a timeframe in the distribution agreement. The revenue sharing percentages as detailed in the distribution agreement will be used to calculate the license and maintenance fees to be remitted to Proginet for this contract. The amount to be booked in US Dollars will be the amounts calculated on the Contract Date. By the time the distributor receives the payment in local currency, the exchange rate may have gone up or down in terms of US dollars. Proginet will apply this difference internally according to US GAAP, whether the amount increases or decreases.

B. Licensee may not assign or otherwise transfer the Licensed Product(s) or otherwise convey any rights or obligations under this SLA. In the event of acquisition, divestiture, merger or such other corporate event, whereby, Licensee is not the surviving entity with more than 50% ownership, the License granted herein is terminated and any continued use of the Licensed Product(s) requires a new SLA.
C. The Licensed Product(s) may only be used by and for the Licensee. Licensee will not use, or permit the Licensed Product(s) to be used, in any manner, directly or indirectly, which would permit any person or entity other than the Licensee to have use of the Licensed Product(s) provided, however, that Licensee may permit its consultants and contractors (including outsourcing agents) to access and use the Licensed Product(s) in accordance with this SLA. Such consultants and contractors must have agreed in writing to confidentiality restrictions with respect to the Licensed Product(s) that are consistent with those in the SLA, and Licensee shall ensure their compliance.
D. Each license granted under this SLA for the Licensed Product(s) as denoted on Schedule “A”, Licensed Product(s) and Fees Schedule, authorizes the Licensee to use the Licensed Product(s) in machine-readable form as set forth on Schedule “A”.
E. Licensee may install Licensed Product(s) on a "disaster recovery" machine, as necessary and appropriate, to support Licensee's use of Licensed Product(s) in case of an emergency. Licensor will assign Licensee an additional security key, as necessary, to enable Licensee to use such Licensed Product(s) on the "disaster recovery" system. Such use of Licensed Product(s) is limited to disaster circumstances and/or during testing and preparation for "disaster recovery" circumstances only. The emergency use of the Licensed Product(s) can be on Licensee or non-Licensee CPU's.

A. Licensor shall deposit with an independent escrow agent in the United States ("Escrow Agent") a current version and one previous version of the source code for the Licensed Product(s) ("Source Code") pursuant to a customary form of escrow agreement as used in the industry, if Licensee pays the annual escrow fee, specified on Schedule A.

2. MAINTENANCE AND SUPPORT SERVICES
MSS consists of (a) Error Correction and Telephone Support to the Licensee concerning software defects of the then current release of the Licensed Product(s) and/or the Previous Sequential Release of Licensed Product(s) and (b) Product updates, consisting of one electronic copy of all published revisions to the software documentation and one electronic copy of revisions to the machine readable Licensed Product(s), which are not designated by Licensor as new products for which it charges a separate fee. All product updates or new releases provided to Licensee shall be governed by the terms of the SLA.
3. TERM AND TERMINATION
MSS shall be provided for one year from the Effective Date on the SLA provided that Licensee pays the Annual MSS fees specified on Schedule "A". MSS shall be automatically renewed and extended an additional year, effective on the anniversary of the Effective Date of the SLA. The occurrence of such automatic renewal obligates Licensee to pay the additional MSS fee for the next MSS year unless terminated by Licensee by written notice at least thirty (30) days prior to the expiration of the then current term.
4. FEES AND PAYMENT
MSS is the percentage stated on Schedule A of the software price and upon renewal, of the then current software price . For each component of the Licensed Product(s) for which Licensee elects MSS, Licensee shall pay Licensor the applicable MSS fee. MSS fees will be billed on an annual basis, payable in advance of the renewal anniversary date. Licensee shall be responsible for all taxes associated with MSS other than taxes based on Licensor’s income. Licensee’s payment is due within thirty (30) days of receipt of the Licensor invoice or by the first day of the MSS period. In the event Licensee fails to pay Licensor within 60 days of the due date, then to reinstate or renew MSS, Licensee must first pay Licensor the annual MSS fee and a reinstatement charge of 25% of the annual MSS fee. If payment is not made within 90 days of the due date, MSS will be renewed or reinstated only if Licensee relicenses the Software and pays all applicable licensing and MSS fees.

Any illegal or unenforceable provisions shall be severed from this SLA. This SLA states the entire agreement for Licensor’s provision of MSS to Licensee and may be amended only by a written amendment executed by authorized representatives of both parties.
If Licensor believes that a problem reported by Licensee may not be due to an error in the Licensed Product(s), Licensor will so notify Licensee. At that time, Licensee may (1) instruct Licensor to proceed with problem determination at its possible expense as set forth below or (2) instruct Licensor that Licensee does not wish the problem pursued at its possible expense. If Licensee requests that Licensor proceed with problem determination at its possible expense and Licensor determines that the error was not due to an error in the Licensed Product(s), Licensee shall pay Licensor, at Licensor’s then current and standard consulting rates, for all work performed in connection with such determination or repair to the extent problems are not due to errors in the Licensed Product(s). Licensee will not be liable for work performed under this paragraph in excess of its instructions nor shall Licensee be liable for work performed after Licensee has notified Licensor that it no longer wishes work on the problem determination to be continued at its possible expense (such notice shall be deemed given when actually received by Licensor). If Licensee instructs Licensor that it does not wish the problem pursued at its possible expense or if such determination requires effort in excess of Licensee’s instructions, Licensor may, at its sole discretion, elect not to investigate the error with no liability therefore.

1. | All rights granted to DISTRIBUTOR under or pursuant to this Agreement shall immediately cease, except as otherwise specifically provided in this Section and DISTRIBUTOR will cease holding itself out as a DISTRIBUTOR of the PRODUCTS. Upon the termination of this Agreement, the parties agree to continue their cooperation and to effect an orderly termination of their relationship. This will include DISTRIBUTOR being allowed to pursue and conclude all business, which was duly forecasted before termination and is likely to be closed within thirty (30) days of termination notification. |
2. | All existing software license agreements and maintenance agreements shall be fully vested in PROGINET upon occasion of renewal, and DISTRIBUTOR shall have no further rights therein. DISTRIBUTOR shall provide a complete list of all customers using Proginet products, including what products and platforms are in use. Upon PROGINET’s specific request, notify all existing CLIENT (S) and/or users of the PRODUCTS in the TERRITORY that such CLIENT (S) and/or users agreements run directly with PROGINET, and that all further payments and communications should be directed to PROGINET. In addition, PROGINET shall have the right to directly communicate such termination to all CLIENT (S) and assume full contact with such CLIENT (S) AND PROGINET shall have the right to contact CLIENT (S) and instruct that all SOFTWARE LICENSE FEES and MAINTENANCE FEES should be paid directly to PROGINET, DISTRIBUTOR shall immediately pay to PROGINET any amounts then owing from DISTRIBUTOR to PROGINET, including any pro rata maintenance monies that have not been earned by DISTRIBUTOR. |
3. | Unless otherwise agreed to in writing, or as specified above by PROGINET, DISTRIBUTOR shall immediately, as customer servicing is completed, return to PROGINET all of the following which, on the date of expiration or termination, are in DISTRIBUTOR’S possession or under its control: (i) all originals and copies of all PRODUCTS literature, price lists, customer lists, customer license and maintenance agreements, technical data PRODUCTS samples, drawings, designs and all documents and electronic media containing CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION except those, if any, which DISTRIBUTOR is entitled to retain under DISTRIBUTOR’S LICENSE AGREEMENT; and (ii) a complete list of the names and addresses of all CLIENT(S) for whom DISTRIBUTOR is then supporting any of the PRODUCTS, additionally, The maintenance payments made by customers during the period of the distributor agreement, must be properly apportioned for the time of support provided by each of the parties.

Therefore the monies recognized each month from the payment are one twelfth of the total amount paid. By the end of the year for which maintenance is purchased, all monies are thereby recognized. |
All customer maintenance covered by the terminating agreement will be broken out to show the amount of monies earned by each party. This chart will then show what payments are required by the Partner to Proginet, or by Proginet to the Partner.
Any maintenance that is not current and is late will be due and payable to the other party upon the signing of the letter of termination.
Payment will be made by the appropriate party within thirty days of signing the Letter of Termination.
