OWNERSHIP. Dragon is the owner, or has the right to enter into\n                  this Agreement on behalf of the owner, of all worldwide right,\n                  title and interest in and to any and all Dragon Confidential\n                  Information and the Dragon Rights.

NO ENCUMBRANCES. To the best of Dragon's knowledge, the Dragon\n                  Rights shall be free and clear of any and all encumbrances\n                  and\/or liens of any nature whatsoever, other than those\n                  identified by Dragon pursuant to this Agreement, and other\n                  than non-exclusive licenses granted by Dragon to others to use\n                  the Dragon Rights.\n\n         e.

MAINTENANCE OF DRAGON TECHNOLOGY. Dragon warrants in the\n                  course of regular business that it will use its best efforts\n                  to maintain, update, and upgrade the Dragon Technology on a\n                  continuing and real-time basis during the Term of this\n                  Agreement to ensure the continued and continuing operation,\n                  operating system compatibility, relevance, and viability of\n                  the Dragon Technology during the Term of the Agreement, and\n                  that it will hire, train, and maintain sufficient, and\n                  sufficiently qualified, programmers and technology\n                  support\/maintenance personnel during the Term of the\n                  Agreement. Upon development and first commercial availability\n                  (including beta test) of any new version of Dragon Technology,\n                  Dragon shall promptly deliver a copy thereof, with available\n                  documentation, to ASI.\n\n         h.

However, DRAGON assumes no\n                  responsibilities or obligations to cause third-party products\n                  or services to function with the Dragon Technology. In\n                  addition, DRAGON will not be in any breach of this warranty\n                  for any failure of the Dragon Technology to correctly create\n                  or process date-related data if such failure results form the\n                  inability of any software, hardware, or systems of a customer\n                  or any third party either to correctly create or process such\n                  date-related data or to create or process such date-related\n                  data in a manner consistent with the method in which the\n                  Dragon Technology creates or process date-related data. In the\n                  event of a breach of this warranty, DRAGON shall use its\n                  commercially reasonable efforts to correct or provide a work\n                  around for reproducible errors that cause breach of this\n                  warranty, or if DRAGON is unable to make the Dragon\n\nTechnology operate as warranted herein within a reasonable period of time, the\ncustomer shall be entitled to recover the fees paid for the license of the\nDragon Technology.\n\n10.0     INDEMNIFICATION.\n\n         10.1 BY DRAGON.
