3.   DELIVERY AND ACCEPTANCE

     3.1  Delivery.  Upon completion of each Milestone for which Developer is
          ---------
responsible, Developer shall promptly notify HP and deliver to HP the
corresponding Deliverables.  Prior to the delivery of any Deliverable, Developer
will have performed its internal testing to assure that such Deliverable
conforms to the Specifications.  Deliverables shall be in source code and binary
code for the GPL portions of the Software and in binary code forms for the non-
GPL Deliverable portions.  Deliverables consisting of Documentation shall be in
both human-readable and electronic formats.

     3.2  Acceptance:
          -----------

          a. Upon Developer's delivery to HP of Deliverables with respect to a
             milestone, HP will evaluate whether such Deliverables conform to
             the applicable Specifications pursuant to the acceptance test
             criteria and acceptance procedure detailed in 3.2. HP will give
             Developer written notice of acceptance or rejection of Deliverable
             within 15 business days after receipt of the Deliverable (the
             "Acceptance Period"). If a statement of rejection is given:

                Developer agrees to make commercially reasonable efforts to
                correct all nonconformities to Specifications as stated by HP
                and redeliver the corrected Deliverables for acceptance within
                fifteen (15) business days or as agreed to between the parties
                after receipt of such notice of rejection.

          b. A Milestone shall be deemed completed with Deliverables with
             respect to that Milestone accepted by HP, only when HP provides a
             written acceptance notice to Developer; 



                                       2



             provided, however, if HP fails to provide such an acceptance notice
             or a statement of rejection to Developer within Acceptance Period,
             such Deliverables will be deemed accepted by HP.

          c. In the event that Developer fails to deliver to HP acceptable
             Deliverables for any Milestone within sixty (60) days after the
             original Milestone date therefor, or after three (3) attempts to
             correct stated nonconformities to Specifications, HP may in its
             sole option, terminate this Agreement pursuant to section 8, Term
             and Termination.

     3.3  License.  Once all Deliverables have been accepted by HP, Developer
          -------                                                            
          agrees to commercially license the Software arising out of such
          Development Work within a commercially reasonable time period after
          the Development Work is complete. Developer understands that the
          payments made by HP hereunder are to expedite Developer's development
          of the Software so that HP can purchase the commercial Software
          product resulting from such Development when such Development is
          complete.

          have in the Developer Code incorporated within the Software existing
          as of the effective date of this of this Agreement. With respect to
          such Developer Code incorporated within the Software, Developer hereby
          grants to HP a non-exclusive, world-wide, perpetual right and license,
          subject to applicable royalty provisions, in Exhibit B including the
          right to sublicense, to use, reproduce, modify, display and distribute
          the Developer Code, in binary code only, solely as part of the
          Software unless such Developer Code is governed by the GPL or other

           and related non-technical business information which the disclosing
           party considers to be confidential ("Confidential Information"). In
           the event such information is disclosed, the parties shall first
           agree to disclose and receive such information in confidence. If then
           disclosed, the information shall (i) be marked as confidential at the

           confidential, be designated as confidential in writing by the
           disclosing party summarizing the Confidential Information disclosed
           and sent to the receiving party within a reasonable period of time
           after such oral disclosure. Notwithstanding any provision to the

           Agreement. The receiving party shall protect the Confidential
           Information of the disclosing party by using the same degree of care
           (but no less than a reasonable degree of care) to prevent the
           unauthorized use, dissemination or publication of such Confidential

           confidential information of like nature. The receiving party's
           obligation under this Section 10 shall be for a period of ten (10)
           years after the date of disclosure.

     10.3  The foregoing obligation shall not apply to any information which is
           (i) already known by the receiving party prior to disclosure; (ii)
           publicly available through no fault of the receiving party; (iii)
           rightfully received from a third party without a duty of
           confidentially (iv) disclosed by the disclosing party to a third
           party without a duty of confidentially on such third party; (v)
           independently developed by the receiving party prior to or
           independent of the disclosure; 



                                       6

           ------------------------------    
           granted solely to perform the Work under this Agreement, and is
           limited to those specific HP systems time periods and personnel as
           are separately agreed to by HP and Developer from time to time. HP
           may require Developer's employees, Subcontractors or agents to sign
           individual agreements prior to access to HP's systems. Use of any
           other HP systems is expressly prohibited. This prohibition applies
           even when an HP system that Developer is authorized to access serves
           as a gateway to other systems outside the Developer's scope of
           authorization. Developer agrees to access systems only from specific
           locations approved for access by HP. For access outside of HP
           premises, HP will designate the specific network connections to be
           used to access systems.

     10.5  Security of Information. Without limiting the foregoing, Developer
           ------------------------    
           agrees to maintain security measures to comply with the above
           obligations and to ensure that access granted will not impair the
           integrity and availability of HP systems. Upon reasonable notice, HP
           may audit Developer to verify Developer's compliance with these
           obligations.

       signed by an authorized representative of each party.

11.12  Waiver.  Neither party's failure to exercise any of its rights hereunder
       -------

       governmental acts or orders or restrictions, or other similar reason
       where failure to perform is beyond the control and not caused by the
       negligence of the non-performing party, provided that the non-performing
       party gives prompt notice of such conditions to the other party and makes
       all reasonable efforts to perform.

11.14  Export Control.  Each party agrees to comply with all applicable United
