| Licensee. |
| |
| Unless otherwise agreed, The Qt Company shall not be responsible for providing |
| any service or support to the Customers. |

| 9. CONFIDENTIALITY |
| |
| Each Party acknowledges that during the Term of this Agreement each Party may |
| receive information about the other Party's business, business methods, business |
| plans, customers, business relations, technology, and other information, |
| including the terms of this Agreement, that is confidential and of great value |
| to the other Party, and the value of which would be significantly reduced if |
| disclosed to third parties ("Confidential Information"). Accordingly, when a |
| Party (the "Receiving Party") receives Confidential Information from the other |
| Party (the "Disclosing Party"), the Receiving Party shall only disclose such |
| information to employees and Contractors on a need to know basis, and shall |
| cause its employees and employees of its Affiliates to: (i) maintain any and all |
| Confidential Information in confidence; (ii) not disclose the Confidential |
| Information to a third party without the Disclosing Party's prior written |
| approval; and (iii) not, directly or indirectly, use the Confidential |
| Information for any purpose other than for exercising its rights and fulfilling |
| its responsibilities pursuant to this Agreement. Each Party shall take |
| reasonable measures to protect the Confidential Information of the other Party, |
| which measures shall not be less than the measures taken by such Party to |
| protect its own confidential and proprietary information. |
| |
| Obligation of confidentiality shall not apply to information that (i) is or |
| becomes generally known to the public through no act or omission of the |
| Receiving Party; (ii) was in the Receiving Party's lawful possession prior to |
| the disclosure hereunder and was not subject to limitations on disclosure or |
| use; (iii) is developed independently by employees or Contractors of the |
| Receiving Party or other persons working for the Receiving Party who have not |
| had access to the Confidential Information of the Disclosing Party, as proven by |
| the written records of the Receiving Party; (iv) is lawfully disclosed to the |
| Receiving Party without restrictions, by a third party not under an obligation |
| of confidentiality; or (v) the Receiving Party is legally compelled to disclose, |
| in which case the Receiving Party shall notify the Disclosing Party of such |
| compelled disclosure and assert the privileged and confidential nature of the |
| information and cooperate fully with the Disclosing Party to limit the scope of |
| disclosure and the dissemination of disclosed Confidential Information to the |
| minimum extent necessary. |
| |
| The obligations under this Section 9 shall continue to remain in force for a |
| period of five (5) years after the last disclosure, and, with respect to trade |
| secrets, for so long as such trade secrets are protected under applicable trade |
| secret laws. |
| |

| distributed corresponding to the Distribution Licenses purchased, or for any |
| other reason. |
| |

| way of Distribution License Packs. |
| |
| Upon due payment of the ordered Distribution License Pack(s), the Licensee will |

| integrating (all jointly "installing") the Redistributables with the Devices or |
| for otherwise distributing the Redistributables in accordance with this |
| Agreement. |
| |
| Each time Licensee "installs" or distributes a copy of Redistributables, then |
| one Distribution License is used, and Licensee's account of available |
| Distribution Licenses is decreased accordingly. |
| |
| Licensee may "install" copies of the Redistributables so long as Licensee has |
| Distribution Licenses remaining on its account. |
| |
| Redistributables will be deemed to have been "installed" into a Device when one |
| of the following circumstances shall have occurred: a) the Redistributables |
| have been loaded onto the Device and used outside of the Licensee's premises or |
| b) the Device has been fully tested and placed into Licensee's inventory (or |
| sold) for the first time (i.e., Licensee will not be required to use (or pay |
| for) more than one Distribution License for each individual Device, e.g. in a |
| situation where a Device is returned to Licensee's inventory after delivery to |
| a distributor or sale to a Customer). In addition, if Licensee includes a |
| back-up copy of the Redistributables on a CD-ROM or other storage medium |
| along with the product, that backup copy of the Redistributables will not |
| be deemed to have been "installed" and will not require an additional |
| Distribution License. |
| |
| 10.4 Payment Terms |
| License Fees and any other charges under this Agreement shall be paid by |
| Licensee no later than thirty (30) days from the date of the applicable invoice |

| |
| The Qt Company will submit an invoice to Licensee after the date of this |
| Agreement and/or after The Qt Company receives a Purchase Order from Licensee. |
| A late payment charge of the lower of (a) one percent per month; or (b) the |
| interest rate stipulated by applicable law, shall be charged on any unpaid |
| balances that remain past due. |
| |
| The Qt Company shall have the right to suspend, terminate or withhold grants of |
| all rights to the Licensed Software hereunder, including but not limited to the |
| Developer License, Distribution License, and Support, should Licensee fail to |
| make payment in a timely fashion. |
| |
| 10.5 Taxes |
| All License Fees and other charges payable hereunder are gross amounts but |
| exclusive of any value added tax, use tax, sales tax and other taxes, duties or |
| tariffs ("Taxes"). Such applicable Taxes shall be paid by Licensee, or, where |
| applicable, in lieu of payment of such Taxes, Licensee shall provide an |
| exemption certificate to The Qt Company and any applicable authority. |
| |
| 11 RECORD-KEEPING AND REPORTING OBLIGATIONS; AUDIT RIGHTS |

| Licensee's activities related to the use of Licensed Software and distribution |
| of Redistributables. The records shall be adequate to determine Licensee's |
| compliance with the provisions of this Agreement and to demonstrate the number |
| of Designated Users and Redistributables distributed by Licensee. The records |
| shall conform to good accounting practices reasonably acceptable to The Qt |
| Company. |
| |
| Licensee shall, within thirty (30) days from the end of each calendar |
| quarter, deliver to The Qt Company a report detailing the number of Designated |
| Users and copies of Redistributables distributed by Licensee during that |
| calendar quarter, and also detailing the number of undistributed copies of |
| Redistributables made by Licensee and remaining in its account (i.e., |
| undistributed copies for which Distribution Licenses have been or need to be |
| obtained from The Qt Company). Such report shall contain such other information |
| as The Qt Company shall reasonably require from time to time. |
| |
| 11.2. The Qt Company's Audit Rights |
| |
| The Qt Company or an independent auditor acting on behalf of The Qt Company's, |
| may, upon at least five (5) business days' prior written notice and at its |
| expense, audit Licensee with respect to the use of the Redistributables, but |
| not more frequently than once during each 6-month period. Such audit may be |
| conducted by mail, electronic means or through an in-person visit to |
| Licensee's place of business. Any such in-person audit shall be conducted |
| during regular business hours at Licensee's facilities and shall not |
| unreasonably interfere with Licensee's business activities. The Qt Company or |
| the independent auditor acting on behalf of The Qt Company shall be entitled to |
| inspect Licensee's Records. All such Licensee's Records and use thereof shall be |
| subject to an obligation of confidentiality under this Agreement. |
| |
| If an audit reveals that Licensee is using the Licensed Software beyond scope of |
| the licenses Licensee has paid for, Licensee agrees to immediately pay The Qt |
| Company any amounts owed for such unauthorized use. |
| |
| In addition, in the event the audit reveals a material violation of the terms of |
| this Agreement (underpayment of more than 5% of License Fees shall always be |
| deemed a material violation for purposes of this section), then the Licensee |
| shall pay The Qt Company's reasonable cost of conducting such audit. |
