Minimum Protective Terms
1. You acknowledge that under the Agreement of which this Schedule forms an integral part (hereinafter referred to as the "Agreement"), You have been licensed to use Licensor's product, Canadian Postal Code^OM Database, as the base for developing a further enhanced value-added product (the "Enhanced Value-added Product") for the purposes of (a) sublicensing the Enhanced Value-added Product to users who shall have no further sublicensing or distribution rights, or (b) providing value-added services using the Enhanced Value-added Product that cannot be provided by Canadian Postal Code^OM Database, or both (a) and (b). You further acknowledge that the data components of Canadian Postal Code^OM Database, or the data in the files required in order to use Canadian Postal Code^OM Database, were acquired by Licensor from third parties and that, relative to those third party data suppliers, Licensor is a licensee and You are a sublicensee (hereinafter such data components or data files referred to as the "Licensed Content").

One such third party supplier is Canada Post Corporation ("Canada Post") who has granted Licensor certain rights with respect to certain Canada Post Data (the "CP Licensed Data") under which Licensor may include the CP Licensed Data, in whole or in part, in the Licensed Content and distribute the same to its sublicensees of the Enhanced Value-added Product subject to the sublicensee's (in this case your) prior agreement to the terms and conditions set out in these Minimum Protective Terms.

2. You acknowledge that Canada Post is the owner of the copyright in the Canada Post Data. You acknowledge that it is only licensed to use the CP Licensed Data in conjunction with Canadian Postal Code^OM Database and the Enhanced Value added Product. You acknowledge that it may only grant rights to third parties to use the CP Licensed Product in conjunction with the Enhanced Value-added Product. Without limiting the generality of the preceding sentence, You have no right to distribute any CP Licensed Data on a stand-alone basis or for the purposes of use with any product other than the Enhanced Value-added Product.

3. You acknowledge, and agrees to provide notice to parties to whom it distributes the Enhanced Value added Product, that the damages that Canada Post may incur as a result of parties using out-of-date data for mail preparation include costs that Canada Post will incur in processing and delivering that mail. Such costs include, but are not limited to, the costs incurred by Canada Post

(i) for the manual readdressing and resorting of mail that was diverted from the normal automated mail processing stream because it was addressed with an invalid address, or the Postal CodeOM element of the address was invalid, or

(ii) if the mail was delivered to the wrong address as a result of having been addressed with an invalid address, or as a result of the Postal CodeOM element of the address being invalid, the cost of the original sorting, processing and delivery of the mail as well as the extra costs incurred for the manual readdressing and resorting of the mail.

(Postal Code is an official mark of Canada Post.)

4. In order to reduce the risk of Canada Post suffering damages as a result of out-of-date data being used for mail preparation and given that CP Licensed Data will be distributed as a component of the Licensed Content, You agree:

(a) not to distribute the Licensed Content until after you have put in place safeguards to reduce the risk of "data scraping" or "bulk downloads of data"; You agree to keep abreast of developments in technology and to update the safeguards in place to further reduce such risks as improved technology becomes available from time to time, and

(b) to ensure that the parties to whom the CP Licensed Data is distributed, whether as a component of the Enhanced Value-added Product or as a, or component of a, data file, to be used in conjunction with an Enhanced Value-added Product, are informed that the same is not to be used for mail preparation purposes and that this prohibition applies, without limitation, to each of the following:

(i) addressing mail;

(ii) presorting addressed mail;

(iii) preparing unaddressed mail by householder count for delivery.

5. You also acknowledge that if you develop any product that uses data for which the original source of that data is Canada Post, which product is intended to be used for any of the purposes listed in clause 4(b)(i), (ii) or (iii), You have no right to use or distribute such a product or to offer any services in relation to such a product unless you have a then current right to do so under a written agreement signed by both you and Canada Post.

6. You agree to include

(a) in the hard copy or electronic copy of the license agreements, which you represent will accompany all copies of the Enhanced Value-added Product and of the Licensed Content distributed by you that contain CP Licensed Data, and

(b) on the start-up screen of the Enhanced Value-added Product and in the terms and conditions of use

posted on any website by which a user may access the Enhanced Value-added Product,

a notice stating that the Enhanced Value-added Product contains data copied under license from Canada Post• Corporation and indicating the date of the Canada Post Corporation data file (or the date of the earliest Canada Post Corporation data file, if more than one) from which the data was copied. Where the language of your product or service is French, you shall use the French version of the pro forma notice that is set out further on below, but if the product or service is in a language other than English or French, you shall include the equivalent notice but in the relevant language. Each such notice shall be tailored with the appropriate information by replacing the "[Insert ... )"/ « [Indiquez ... ) » « [Inserez ... ) » instructions with the information contemplated:

"This [Insert appropriate reference to medium, i.e. diskette, tape, etc.) contains data copied under license from Canada Post Corporation. The Canada Post Corporation file from which this data was copied is dated [Insert date)."

French version of the pro forma notice

"[Indiquez Ie support approprie, c'est-a-dire «Cette disquette», « Cette bande magnetique», etc.) contient des donnees qui ont ete reproduites avec i'autorisation de la Societe canadienne des postes. Le fichier de la Societe canadienne des postes d'ou proviennent ces donnees est date du [Inserez la date)."

7. You acknowledge that the CP Licensed Data is licensed to you on an "as is" basis and that Canada Post makes no guarantees, representations or warranties respecting the CP Licensed Data, either expressed or implied, arising by law or otherwise, including but not limited to, effectiveness, completeness, accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose. You will include a provision in its terms of use requiring a user of the CP Licensed Data to acknowledge that the CP Licensed Data is licensed on an "as is" basis and that Canada Post makes no guarantees, representations or warranties respecting the CP Licensed Data, either expressed or implied, arising by law or otherwise, including but not limited to, effectiveness, completeness, accuracy or fitness for a particular purpose.

8. Neither Licensor nor Canada Post shall be liable in respect of any claims whatsoever alleging any loss, injury or damages, direct or indirect, which may result from your, or any of its user's, possession or use of the CP Licensed Data. Neither the Licensor nor Canada Post shall be liable in any way for loss of revenue or contracts, or any other consequential loss of any kind resulting from any defect in the CP Licensed Data.

You shall indemnify Canada Post and its officers, employees and agents from all claims whatsoever alleging loss, costs, expenses, damages or injuries (including injuries resulting in death) arising out of your possession or use of the Licensed Content. You will include a provision in its terms of use requiring a user of the CP Licensed Data to indemnify Canada Post and its officers, employees and agents from all claims whatsoever alleging loss, costs, expenses, damages or injuries (including injuries resulting in death) arising out of such user's possession or use of the CP Licensed Data.

Law
Governing Law; Consent to Jurisdiction. This Agreement shall be governed by the laws of the State of New York.
