1.1 Definitions
Customer-set-up Machine is an IBM Machine that you set up according to our instructions.
Date of Installation is the following:
1. for a Machine-
a. the business day after the day we install it or, if you defer installalion, make it
available to you for installation;
b. the second business day after the end of a Customer-set-up Machine's standard
transit allowance period. We will allocate a reasonable transit allowance period; or
c. the second business day after the arrival of a non-IBM Machine.
2. for a Program, the latest of -
a. the day after its testing period ends (this does not apply to Program Packages);
b. 10 days after we ship it; or
c. the day, specified in a Transaction Document, on which we authorize you to make an
Additional License Copy or a copy of a Distributed Feature.
Designated Machine is the Machine, that you identify to us by type/model and serial (or plant
order) number, on which you intend to use a Program for processing. When we specify that
you do not have to provide this identification to us, the term "Designated Machine" means the
single Machine on which you may use the Program at anyone time.
Enterprise is any legal entity (such as a corporation) and the subsidiaries it owns by more
than 50 percent. The term "Enterprise" applies only to the portion of the enterprise located in
the United States or Puerto Rico.
Machine is a machine, its features, conversions, upgrades, elements, or accessories, or any
combination of them. The term "Machine" includes an IBM Machine and any non-IBM
Machine (including other equipment) that we may provide to you.
Product is a Machine or a Program.
Program is the following, including features and any whole or partial copies:
1. machine-readable instructions;
2. a collection of machine.readable data, such as a data base; and
3. related materials, including documentation and listings, in any form.
The term "Program" includes an IBM Program and any non-IBM Program that we may
provide to you. The term does not include Licensed Internal Code or Materials.
Service is assistance or use of a resource (such as a network) we make available to you.
Specifications is a document that provides information specific to a Product. For a Machine,
we call the document "Official Published Specifications." For a Program, we call it "Licensed
Program Specifications" or "License Information."
Specified Operating Environment is the Machines and Programs with which a Program is
designed to operate, as described in the Program's Specifications.

sufficient to verify the sender's identity and the document's authenticity;
2. an electronic document that contains a USERID is a signed writing; and
3. an electronic document, or any computer printout of it, is an original when maintained in
the normal course of business.
Electronic Data Interchange
We may provide Electronic Data Interchange (called "EDI") Options to you. Electronic
invoicing and electronic payment are examples of these Options. When using EDI Options,
each of us agrees:

other of any changes to the bank payment process; and
2. to promptly notify the other of any changes to the technology, process, or information
upon which the EDI transactions are based.
We will specify respective responsibilities for the EDI Option you choose.
1.5 Prices and Price Changes
The following are the bases on Wllich we may require the amount payable for a Product or
Service to be paid, with an example of each:
1. one-time (the price of a Machine);
2. recurring (a monthly charge for Maintenance Services); or
3. a combination of both (an initial charge and a monthly license charge for a Program).
We will specify the amount and basis for the particular Product or Service.
Price Increases
We may increase recurring charges by giving you three months' written notice. An increase
applies on the first day of the applicable invoice period on or after the effective date we
specify in the notice.
We may increase one-time charges and hourly rates without notice. However, an increase to
one-time charges does not apply to you if 1) we receive your order before the announcement
date of the increase and 2) one of the following occurs within three months after the
announcement:
1. we ship you the Product;
2. with our authorization, you make an Additional License Copy of a Program or a copy of a
Distributed Feature; or
3. a Program's group-upgrade charge becomes due.

1.6 Invoicing, Payment, and Taxes
We invoice:
1. recurring charges (other than usage charges) for a Program and for Maintenance
Services in advance for the applicable invoice period;
2. usage charges following the period in which you incur them; and
3. all other charges when or after you incur them.
For a Product with a one-time charge, payment is due on its Date of Installation. Recurring
charges for a Product begin on its Date of Installation.
You agree to pay as we specify in the invoice. You also agree to pay amounts equal to any
applicable taxes resulting from any transaction under this Agreement. This does not include
taxes based on our net income. You are responsible for personal property taxes for each
Product from the date we ship it to you.
1.7 Additional Charges
Depending on the particular Product, Service, or circumstances, additional charges may
apply. For example, if we are required to use other than private automobile or scheduled
public transportation to provide Maintenance Services to you, we - charge an additional
amount. We will notify you in advance if these charges apply.
1.8 Types of Service for Machines
We provide ce,iain types of service for a Machine to keep it in, or restore it to, good working
order during its warranty period or while it is under Maintenance Services. The following
terms apply to both warranty service and Maintenance Services.
Depending on the Machine, the service may be 1) a "Repair" service at your location (called
"On-site") or at one of our service locations (called "Carry-in") or 2) an "Exchange" service,
either On-site or Carry-in. We will inform you of the available types of service for a Machine.
Under Maintenance Services, you may select the type of service from those available for the
Machine. We require that a Machine and its features have the same type of service.
We offer On-site types of service 24 hours a day, seven days a week. Carry-in types of
service are available during the normal business hours of our service locations.
When a type of service involves the exchange of a Machine or part, the item we replace
becomes our property and the replacement becomes yours. The replacement may not be
new, but will be in good working order.
Under Carry-in service, instead of delivering the failing Machine to us, if you prefer, you may
ship it (prepaid and suitably packaged) to a location we designate. After we have repaired or
exchanged the Machine, we will return it to you at our expense.
Under On-site Exchange service, depending on the nature of the failure, we may repair the
failing Machine at your site instead of exchanging it.
We are responsible for loss of, or damage to, your Machine while it is 1) in our possession or
2) in transit in those cases where we are responsible for the transportation charges.

you against that claim at our expense and pay all costs, damages, ani:! attorney's fees that a
court finally awards, provided that you:
1. promptly notify us in writing of the claim; and
2. allow us to control, and cooperate with us in, the defense and any related settlement
negotiations.
If such a claim is made or appears likely to be made, you agree to permit us to enable you to
continue to use tile Product, or to modify or replace it. If we determine that none of these
alternatives is reasonably available, you agree to return the Product to us on our written
request. We will then give you a credit equai to your net book value for the Product, provided
you have followed generally-accepted accounting principles.
This is our entire obligation 10 you regarding any claim of infringement.

Part 2 - Warranties
2.1 The IBM Warranties
Warranty for IBM Machines
For each IBM Machine, we warrant that it:
1. is free from defects in materials and workmanship; and
2. conforms to its Specifications.
The warranty period for a Machine is a specified, fixed period. We calculate its expiration
from the Machine's Date of Installation.
During the warranty period, we provide warranty service under the type of service we
designate for the Machine or under the alternative service you select under Maintenance
Services.
For us to provide warranty service for a feature, conversion, or upgrade, we require that the
Machine on which it is installed be 1) the designated, serial-numbered Machine and 2) at an
engineering-change level compatible with the feature, conversion, or upgrade.
During the warranty period, we manage and install engineering changes that apply to the
Machine.
If a Machine does not function as warranted during the warranty period, we will repair or
replace it without charge. If we are unable to do so, you may return it to us and we will
refund your money.
Warranty for IBM Programs
For each warranted IBM Program, we warrant that:
1. we have the right to license it; and
2. it conforms to its Specifications.
The warranty period for a Program expires when its Program Services are no longer
available.
During the warranty period, we provide warranty service, without charge, for a Program
lhrough Program Services. Program Services are available for a warranted Program for at
least one year following its general availability. Therefore, the duration of warranty service
depends on when you obtain your license. If, during the first year after you obtain your
license, we are unable to make the Program function as warranted, you may return it to us
and we will refund your money.
Warranty for IBM Services
For each IBM Service, we warrant that we perform it:
1. in a workmanlike manner; and
2. according to its current description contained in this Agreement, an Attachment, or a
Transaction Document.

operate with one another.
Warranty for Integrated Systems
For each integrated system we deliver to you under a Statement of Work for Systems
Integration Services, we warrant that it meets its Completion Criteria as specified in the
Statement of Work.
The warranty period for an integrated system is a fixed period as specified in the Statement of
Work. It begins on the date we deliver the system to you.
If an integrated system does not function as warranted during the warranty period, we will
correct the deficiency without charge. If we are unable to do so, you may return the system
to us and we will refund your money.
2.2 Extent of Warranty
If a Machine is subject to federal or state consumer warranty laws, our statement of limited
warranty included with the Machine applies in place of these Machine warranties.
Misuse, accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, operation in
other than the Specified Operating Environment, improper maintenance by you, or failure
caused by a product for which we are not responsible may void the warranties.
THESE WARRANTIES REPLACE ALL OTHER WARRANTiES, EXPRESS OR IMPLIED, INCLUDING
THE IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY AND FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR
PURPOSE.
,2.3 Items Not Covered by Warranty
We do not warrant uninterrupted or error-free operation of a Product or Service.
We will identify IBM Products and Services that we do not warrant.
We provide non-iBM Products and Services on an "AS IS" basis. However, non-IBM
manufacturers, suppliers, or publishers may provide their own warranties to you.

3.1 Title
When we accept your order, we agree to sell you the Machine described in a Transaction
Document. We transfer title to you or, if you choose, your lessor when we ship the Machine.
However, we reserve a purchase money security interest in the Machine until we receive the
amounts due. For a feature, conversion, or upgrade involving the removal of parts which
become our property, we reserve the security interest until we receive the amounts due and
the removed parts. You agree to sign an appropriate document to permit us to perfect our
purchase money security interest.
3.2 Risk of Loss
We bear the risk of loss for the Machine through its Date of Installation. Thereafter, you
assume the risk.
3.3 Production Status
Each Machine is manufactured from new parts, or new and serviceable used parts (which
perform like new parts). In some cases, the Machine may not be new and may have been
previously installed. Regardless of the Machine's production status, our warranty terms
apply.
3.4 Installation
For the Machine to function properly, it must be installed in a suitable physical environment.
You agree to provide an environment meeting our specified requirements for the Machine.
We design our standard installation procedures to ensure that each Machine we install is in
good working order and meets its Specifications. We will successfully complete these
procedures before we consider the Machine installed.
You are responsible for setting up a Customer-set-up Machine (we provide instructions to
enable you to do so) and for the installation of a non-IBM Machine.
Machine Features, Conversions, and Upgrades
We sell features, conversions, and upgrades for installation only on designated,
serial-numbered Machines. You represent that you have the permission of the owner (if you
are not the owner of the Machine) and any lien holders to 1) install features, conversions, and
upgrades and 2) transfer removed parts to us.
Some of these transactions (called "Net-Priced" transactions) include associated replacement
parts. We provide these parts on an exchange basis. All removed parts in a Net-Priced
transaction become our property. For a Net-Priced transaction, you agree to allow us to
install it within 30 days of its delivery and to recover the removed parts. Otherwise, we may
terminate the transaction and you must return the feature, conversion, or upgrade to us at
your expense.

Under each license, we authorize you to do only the following:
1. execute the Code to enable the Specific Machine to function according to its
Specifications;
2. make a backup or archival copy of the Code (unless we make one available for your use),
provided you reproduce the copyright notice and any other legend of ownership on the
copy. You may use the copy only to replace the original, when necessary; and
3. execute and display the Code as necessary to maintain the Specific Machine.
You agree to acquire any replacement for, or additional copy of, Code directly from us in
accordance with our standard policies and practices. You also agree to use that Code under
these terms.
You may transfer possession of the Code to another party only with the transfer of the
Specific Machine. If you do so, you must 1) either give the other party all your copies of the
Code or destroy them, and 2) give the other party a copy of this page with the Specific
Machine's identification information filled in below. We license the other party when it
accepts these terms by initial use of lhe Code. These terms apply to all Code you acquire
from any source.
Your license terminates when you no longer rightfully possess the Specific Machine.
Actions You May Not Take
You agree to use the Code only as authorized above. You may not do, for example, any of
the following:

Part 4 - Programs
4.1 Grant of License
When we accept your order, we grant you a license for the Program. Programs are
copyrighted and licensed (not sold). We do not transfer title to Programs to you.
4.2 License Details
Under each license, we authorize you to:
1. use the Program's machine-readable portion on only the Designated Machine, unless-
a. the Designated Machine is inoperable. You may then use the Program on a backup
Machine,
b. the Designated Machine cannot assemble or compile the Program. You may then
assemble or compile it on another Machine,
c. we grant an "Installation License." You may then use the Program on any other
Machine in the same or adjoining rooms as the Designated Machine, or
d. we grant a "Location License." You may then use the Program on any other Machine
in the same building with the same mailing address as the Designated Machine.
If you change the Designated Machine, you agree to notify us of the change and its date;
2. store the Program's machine-readable portion in, transmit it through, and display it on,
Machines associated with the Designated Machine;
3. do the following to support your aulhorized use as described above -
a. modify the Program's machine-readable instructions or data, or merge them into
another Program, and
b. make copies of the Program, provided you reproduce the copyright notice and any
other legend of ownership on each copy or partial copy; and
4. use any portion of the Program we mark restricted (for example, "Restricted Materiats of
IBM") only to-
a. resolve problems related to the use of the Program, and
b. modify the Program so that it will work together with other products.
You agree to comply with any additional terms (for example, a usage restriction) that a
Program's Specifications may contain. We provide the Specifications to you with the
Program. For an "AS IS" Program, any additional terms are contained in a document called
"Notice of Availability."
Actions You May Not Take
You agree not to do any of the following:
1. sublicense, assign, or transfer the license for any Program;
2. distribute any Program to any third paliy; or
3. reverse assemble, reverse compile, or otherwise translate any Program.

.". .---., ~._.,.....- .--..--.......---..- .,~-_.~~-...-
4.3 Distributed Features
Some Programs have features (called "Distributed Features") that are designed to work with
those Programs (called "Associated Programs"). After we accept your order for a Distributed
Feature, we authorize you to:
1. make a copy of the Distributed Feature and its documentation; and
2. distribute the copy to, and use it on, a Machine other than the Designated Machine of the
Associated Program. You may use the copy on only one Machine at a time. Persons
using a Machine outside of your Enterprise may use the copy only to access the
Associated Program.
4.4 Additional License Copies
You may order additional licenses for Programs. If you prefer, for each license we grant,
rather than shipping you another copy of the Program, we will authorize you to make an
additional copy (called an "Additional License Copy").
For some Programs, you may make a copy under a Distributed System License Option (called
a "DSLO" license). We charge less for a DSLO license than we do for the original license
(called the "Basic" license). In return for the lesser charge, you agree to do the following
while licensed under a DSLO:
1. have a Basic license for the Program;
2. provide problem documentation and receive Program Services (if any) only through the
location of the Basic license; and
3. distribute to, and install on, the DSLO's Designated Machine, any release, correction, or
bypass that we provide for the Basic license.
4.5 Program Testing
We provide a testing period for certain Programs to help you evaluate if they meet your
needs. The testing period for a Program starts 1) 10 days after we ship it or 2) on the day we
authorize you to make an Additional License Copy. We will inform you of the duration of the
Program's testing period.
For the first order for each Distributed Feature, the testing period is the same as its
Associated Program.
We do not provide a testing period for a Program under a DSLO license.
4.6 Program Packages
We provide certain Programs together with their own license agreements. These Programs
(called "Program Packages") are licensed under the terms of the agreements provided with
them. This Agreement's patent and copyright terms apply to IBM Program Packages.
For a Program Package, we may specify that:
1. Additional License Copies apply. If so, these copies are subject to the terms of the
Program Package's agreement, except that you may not transfer them; and
2. a testing period applies. If so, and you return the Program Package to us before the end
of the testing period, we will refund your money.
If a Program Package has Distributed Features, this Agreement's terms regarding Distributed
Features apply

4.7 Program Protection
For each Program, you agree to:
1. if it is a data base, allow access to it only to your employees;
2. ensure that anyone who uses it (accessed either locally or remotely) does so only for your
authorized use and complies with our terms regarding Programs; and
3. maintain records of all copies.
4.8 Program Services
We provide Program Services for warranted Programs and for selected other Programs. If we
can reproduce your reported problem in the Specified Operating Environment, we will issue
defect correction information, a restriction, or a bypass. We provide Program Services for
only the unmodified portion of a current release of a Program.
We provide Program Services 1) on an on-going basis (with at least six months' written notice
before we terminate services for a Program), 2) until the date we specify, or 3) for a period we
specify.
4.9 Variable-Charge Programs
We may place a Machine in a Machine group. The charges for some Program licenses
depend on the group of the Designated Machine. We call these Programs "Variable-Charge"
Programs. Variable charges include graduated charges and processor-based charges. We
will specify the group for a Machine and will inform you of any changes.
For these licenses, the following apply:
1. if you change (including upgrade or downgrade) a Designated Machine to a Machine in
another group, you may incur a group-upgrade charge or a changed recurring charge.
You agree to promptly notify us of the date of such a change;
2. if we reassign a Designated Machine to a Machine group with different charges, Program
licenses with one-time charges due or paid before the reassignment are not affected.
Otherwise, our price change terms apply; and
3. if a change or reassignment results in a lower charge, we do not give credits or refunds
for one-time charges already due or paid.
4.10 license Termination
You may terminate the license for a Program on one month's written notice or at any time
during the Program's testing period. For some Programs, if you terminate the license and
replace that Program with another we specify, we only require you to pay an upgrade charge.
We may terminate any license we grant in this Part if you do not meet your obligations
regarding Programs.
You agree to destroy all copies of the Program within three months after license termination.
However, you may keep a copy in your archives.

Part 5 - Services
5.1 Maintenance Services
You may select the type of service from those available for the Machine. When we accept
your order, we agree to service the Machine described in a Transaction Document. Based on
the type of service, we will restore the Machine to good working order or exchange it. We
may also perform preventive maintenance, including lubrication, adjustments, and
replacement of parts. We manage and install engineering changes that apply to the Machine.
We will inform you of the date on which Maintenance Services begin. We may inspect the
Machine within one month following that date. If the Machine is not in an acceptable
condition for service, you may 1) have us restore it for a charge or 2) withdraw your request
for Maintenance Services and we will refund any amounts you have paid to us for its service.
For a Machine under a usage plan, you agree to provide us with the meter reading as of the
last working day of the period that the minimum maintenance charge covers.
We provide Maintenance Services for selected non-IBM Machines only when they are
connected to certain IBM Machines. When a type of service involves the exchange of a
non-IBM Machine, the replacement may not be identical.
Maintenance Services do not cover accessories and certain parts, such as frames and covers.
In addition, Maintenance Services do not cover service of a Machine damaged by misuse,
accident, modification, unsuitable physical or operating environment, improper maintenance
by you, or failure caused by a product for which we are not responsible.
Alternative Service During Warranty
For certain Machines, at any time during the warranty period, you may select a different type
of service from that which we designate for the Machine. For example, if you prefer On-site
service to Carry-in, it may be availabie. We will inform you of the available types of service
for the Machine and the available alternative service periods. We provide the alternative type
of service for an additional charge. When the alternative service ends, we will continue
Maintenance Services for the Machine under the same type of service you selected.
Maintenance Services Termination
You may terminate Maintenance Services for a Machine on one month's written notice to us
under any of the following circumstances:
1. after it has been under Maintenance Services for at least six months;
2. if you remove it from productive use within your Enterprise;
3. as of the effective date of an increase in Maintenance Services charges; or
4. if you terminate coverage for a Maintenance Service Option under our terms for 1)
removal of a Machine type from eligibility or 2) increased total adjusted charges for
Maintenance Services.
We may terminate Maintenance Services for a Machine on three months' written notice,
provided it has been under Maintenance Services for at least one year.
Either of us may terminate service for any Machine if the other does not meet its obligations
concerning Maintenance Services. On termination of service for a Machine, we will give you
any applicable credit.

5.2 Continuing Support Services
We provide Continuing Support Services on a contract-period basis to assist you in such
areas as improving the availability of your systems and improving your productivity. We
provide the terms specific to a Service in an Attachment. If we make a change to the terms of
an Attachment that 1) affects your current contract period and 2) you consider unfavorable, on
your request, we will defer it until the end of that contract period.
We will specify the eligible Products, applicable prerequisites and minimum commitments,
exit-option percents, and available contract periods for a Service. We will also inform you
periodically of any changes. These changes apply only to orders that we confirm on or after
the effective date of the change.
When we accept your order, we will confirm the specific details of the Service in a
Transaction Document. You may select a start date for the Service that is within three
months following the effective date we specify in the Transaction Document.
During a contract period, we may increase charges. An increase becomes effective on the
next anniversary of the start of a contract period, following the effective date we specify in the
notice. When an increase results in a change to your total monthly charge for a Service of
more than the exit-option percent we specify, you may terminate that Service on the effective
date of the increase. Adjustment or termination charges do not apply in this case.
You may request a change to the Services you have selected on one. month's notice. If we
agree, we will confirm the change to you with applicable adjustments in charges.
Each of us agrees to notify the other (before your current contract period expires) if they do
not intend to renew.
Continuing Support Services Termination
You may terminate a Continuing Support Service by providing us one month's written notice
upon fulfillment of any minimum commitments.
The termination of Services with contract periods longer than one year results in adjustment
charges. In this case, you agree to pay the lesser of:
1. the difference between the total charges you paid through the termination date and those
you would have paid for the shorter contract period;
2. the monthly charge multiplied by the applicable adjustment charge factor; or
3. the total charges remaining to complete the contract period.
5.3 Project Support Services
The Project Support Services we make available to you include providing general assistance
on a technical task (such as writing programs), providing consulting services, acting as a
prime contractor to deliver an information handling function, and providing Systems
Integration Services.
When we accept your order, we agree to provide the Services described in the Statement of

6.1 Volume Discounts
We provide discounts for certain Products based on the volume of business you agree to do
with us (called your "Commitment") during a contract period. You may make a Commitment
based on either Product quantity or revenue. Revenue for a Product is its single-unit charge,
less any discounts or allowances.
We will specify the eligible Products, their categories, available discount percents and
contract periods, upper-limit percents, and adjustment charge factors. We will inform you
periodically of any changes. An unfavorable change (and all changes related to it) applies to
an existing Commitment only if you accept it in writing. Related changes become effective at
the same time. We will also inform you if we withdraw eligible Products from marketing. We
then accept orders you place for these Products subject to their availability.
Unless we specify otherwise, we do not discount Program upgrades, Program features
ordered separately from Programs, accessories, or field-installed Machine features,
conversions, or upgrades.
End User Certification
You agree to acquire the Products for use only within your Enterprise and not for remarketing.
We call this representation "End User Certification." We provide the discounts to you based
on End User Certification.
How You May Obtain the Discounts
If you wish to obtain the discounts, you agree to sign an Addendum specifying your
Commitment, and selected contract-period start date and duration.
During the contract period, you may increase your Commitment or extend the contract period
(subject to our approval) by signing a revised Addendum. If you extend, you agree to
increase your Commitment so that the new discount percent is at least equal to your current
discount percent. Any increased discount percent applies to all eligible Products for which
Date of Installation is on or after the date we receive your signed Addendum.
How We Apply the Discounts
We apply the discount to the single-unit charges of eligible Products that you acquire from us
during the contract period. The charges are the lesser of 1) those generally available at the
time of acquisition or 2) tile announced charges in effect on the date we receive the initial
Addendum, subject to our price change terms described below.
We count specified Products that you acquire from our authorized remarketers when we
receive the required certification. Adjustment charges do not apply to these Products.
We may place some Products in a dependent category with an associated controlling
category. To determine the discount percent applicable to either category, we count
quantities or revenue for only those Products in the controlling category.
Price Changes
During a contract period, we may increase or decrease charges. We apply your discount to
the new charges as follows:
1. we establish a maximum charge (called an "Upper Limit") for each Product in a
committed category for each year of a contract period. We determine the Upper Limit by
increasing the announced charge in effect, as of the date we receive the initial Addendum,

.. '1-' -.,....-.' .--..
by a certain amount. We calculate this amount by multiplying that charge by the
upper-limit percent we specify at the time of your Commitment;
2. for an increase, we apply the discount to either the increased charge or the Upper Limit,
whichever is less; and
3. for a decrease, we apply the discount to the decreased charge, provided you accept any
related changes in terms we may have made after your Commitment. Otherwise, you
may select 1) the decreased charge without discount or 2) the discounted charge
available to you before the decrease.
Adjustment Charges
If you have not met your Commitment by the end of the contract period, you agree to pay
adjustment charges. The adjustment charge for each Product is either:
1. the difference between the discounted amount we charged you and the discounted
amount which you were entitled to receive; or
2. the result of multiplying the adjustment charge factor by the number of discount
percentage points between what we gave you and what you were entitled to receive.
We will inform you which method we use for a particular Product.
For a revenue-based Commitment, the total of the adjustment charges will not be more than
the difference between your Commitment and the actual revenue you attained.
International Discounts
For our international customers, we provide volume discounts based on worldwide
Commitments. To allow you to participate in such a Commitment, this Agreement may be
modified by a signed international agreement. You, your international enterprise coordinator,
and we will sign the relevant Transaction Document, unless the coordinator exempts you from
signing. That Transaction Document becomes part of this Agreement.
6.2 Maintenance Service Options
We provide Maintenance Service Options for certain Machines. If you wish to obtain the
benefit of lower charges available under an Option. you agree to assume additional, specified
responsibilities. We provide the terms specific to an Option in an Attachment.
We will specify the eligible Machine types, eligible types of service, available discount
percents and contract periods, exit-option percents, and notice requirements for termination
of each contract period, as applicable to each Option. We will also inform you periodically of
any changes. We will defer an unfavorable change (and all changes related to it) until the
end of your contract period, if you request it in writing before the effective date of the change.
Related changes become effective at the same time.
6.3 Payment Options
Extended Maintenance Option
You may select the Extended Maintenance Option (called the "EMO") for certain Machines.
Under this Option, we adjust your Maintenance Services charges based on your prepayment
of those charges during an available contract period.
We will specify the eligible Machine types and available contract periods. We will also inform
you periodically of any changes. A change applies only to Machines you add under this
Option on or after the effective date of the change.

The Transaction Document will list the Machines covered and the dates of coverage for the
contract period you have selected for each Machine.
You may select EMO in addition to other Maintenance Service Options. We then adjust the
Machine's EMO charge based on the applicable discounts which you are entitled to receive
under those Options. Whiie under this Option, you agree to maintain coverage under all the
Services and other Options on which we base the Machine's EMO charge.
For a Machine not yet installed or set up, coverage starts on its Date of Installation. For an
installed Machine, coverage starts on a mutually-agreed-to date. If applicable, the contract
period includes the Machine's warranty period.
We calculate the EMO charge for a Machine using the announced Maintenance Services
charges and any applicable discounts in effect for the Machine when coverage begins. EMO
charges are not refundable after coverage has started for the Machine.
Both of us agree that if a feature, conversion, or upgrade is installed on a Machine while it is
under this Option, 1) an additional charge may apply and 2) the feature, conversion, or
upgrade is subject to the remaining portion of the contract period.
If we increase the EMO charge, the increase does not apply to a Machine not yet installed or
set up, unless we give you at least three months' notice before its scheduled date of
shipment. If we decrease the EMO charge before coverage has begun for a Machine, you
receive the benefit of the decrease.
We will give you at least three months' notice of a Machine's eligibility for renewal. At the
end of your contract period, we will continue Maintenance Services for the Machine (if
available), unless you request us not to do so.
If you transfer coverage for a Machine to a third party, you agree to inform that party 1) of the
applicable terms of this Agreement and 2) that it must notify us in writing of the transfer, the
location of the Machine, and acceptance of coverage. If that party does not wish to maintain
coverage under all the Services and other Options on which we base the Machine's EMO
charge, you agree to pay the transfer charge that we specify.
Invoicing Options
We make Invoicing Options available to you for certain Products and Services to provide
fiexibility in payment terms. We provide the terms specific to an Option in an Attachment.
We will specify the eligible Products, Services, and charges, and the available contract
periods, invoicing schedules, and environments which may be covered by an Option. We will
also inform you periodically of any changes.
Together, we will estimate your requirements for the applicable Products and Services. We
use this estimate to determine the total charges that we will invoice, distributed according to
the schedule you select. These invoiced amounts replace the applicable charges otherwise
due. Depending on the Option, the total charges may be subject to adjustments.
The Transaction Document, signed by both of us, will list the date from which we provide the
selected Option to you and its other details.
6.4 Special Options
In order to meet your specific requirements, we may provide Special Options to you. Under
these Options, we are willing to provide special terms and tailor our processes for you. We
will describe our mutual commitments under a Special Option in a Transaction Document.
