Wave Systems has obtained approval from Dell for certain of its software products to be distributed with or for Dell computers. This Addendum contains the terms and conditions under which Distributor will distribute such software of Wave Systems. Except as otherwise specifically mentioned, this Addendum shall only apply to the distribution of Wave Systems’ Security Products as defined below.

“Dell” means Dell Inc. and its subsidiaries.

“Distributor Agreement” means the Authorized Distributor Agreement, referenced above, which this Addendum supplements.

“Gold Master” means a CD-ROM which contains a copy of the Client Product in object-code form, a click-through End User license agreement, and a readme electronic file containing installation and use instructions and links for on-line help. Such Gold Master will be suitable for use in making copies of the Client Product and such associated text files.

“Security Products” refers to both the Client Product and the Server Product.

b.           Promptly after full execution of this Addendum, Wave Systems will deliver to Distributor a Gold Master for the Client Product, the License Management Tool, a quantity of License Management Codes as determined by Wave Systems, artwork for CD-ROM sleeves, and artwork for CD-ROM disks.

Wave Systems will periodically supply Distributor with additional License Management Codes as needed. Distributor will not directly or indirectly attempt to disable or bypass the License Management Tool or the embedded End User license agreement.

e.           Distributor may arrange for competent and reliable contractors to replicate the Client Product from the Gold Master to CD-ROMs for distribution hereunder provided (i) Distributor has entered into Replication Services Agreement with such contractors, (ii) Distributor has promptly provided a copy of such executed agreements to Wave Systems, and (iii) Distributor promptly ceases doing business with any contractor who violates the terms of such agreements.

Quantities will be determined in accordance with the monthly POS Reports.

b.           Server Product will be provided by Wave Systems on CD-ROMs to Distributor pursuant to purchase orders placed from time to time by Distributor.

5.    License Fees.   The license fee to Distributor for the Security Products shall be 40 percent off of Wave Systems’ then current list price.

6.    Records, POS Reports, and Audits.

a.           Distributor shall maintain complete and accurate accounting records, in accordance with sound accounting practices, to support and document all license fees due Wave Systems hereunder. Such records shall contain at a minimum the name and contact information for each End User or Dell entity purchasing a license for a Security Product from Distributor, the type of delivery (Internet or CD-ROM), the type of Security Product (Client Product or Server Product) the date of license sale, the number of copies of the Security Product licensed hereunder, and any refunds or returns. Such records shall be retained for a period of at least three years after the fees to which such records relate have been accrued and have been paid.

b.           Within five days after the end of each month, Distributor will remit to Wave Systems the license fees due on copies of Client Product delivered by Distributor to End Users and Dell entities during the immediately preceding month, and provide Wave Systems with a POS Report, in a format reasonably acceptable to Wave Systems, specifying the number of copies of Client Product that Distributor delivered, the number of copies of the Client Product that were returned by End Users or Dell entities, and the calculation of the amount due Wave Systems pursuant to this Agreement. The POS Report shall also specify the name and contact information for each End User or Dell entity purchasing a license for a Security Product from Distributor. For each such customer the POS Report shall show the type of delivery (Internet or CD-ROM), the type of Security Product (Client Product or Server Product), and the date of license sale, the number of copies of the Security Product licensed hereunder, and any refunds or returns.

c.           Upon written request from Wave Systems at least ten days in advance, Distributor shall provide reasonable access to Distributor’s records referred to in Section 6a by an independent accounting firm chosen and compensated by Wave Systems for the purpose of audit. Such audit shall take place during Distributor’s normal business hours and shall not occur more frequently than twice each calendar year. Such accounting firm shall be required to sign an agreement protecting Distributor’s confidential information and shall be authorized to report to Wave Systems only the

amount of license fees due. In the event that such an audit discloses an underpayment of more than five percent, then Distributor shall pay the costs of such audit.

7.    Term and Termination.   This Addendum shall have the same term as the Distributor Agreement and can be terminated separately under Section 13 of the Distributor Agreement.

8.    Change to Arbitration Clause.   For all purposes, the first sentence in Section 14f of the Distributor Agreement is changed to delete the word “Maryland” and substitute “California.”

9.    Effect of Addendum.   To the extent this Addendum is inconsistent with the Distributor Agreement, this Agreement shall prevail with respect to Security Products and with respect to all products just for Section 8 hereof. This effective date of this Addendum shall be the latter of the dates on which it is signed below.
