this Agreement or the breach thereof, whether the claim is in contract, tort
(including negligence), strict liability or otherwise. In any event, Navistar's liability
to Customer for a claim of any kind related to this Agreement or to the Software
shall not exceed the greater of the aggregate of fees paid to Navistar under this
Agreement.

9. PATENT AND COPYRIGHT INDEMNIFICATION:

Navistar will assume and defend at its sole expense any lawsuit brought against
Customer based on a claim that the Software or documentation used within the
scope of this Agreement infringes any trade secret right, copyright or patent,
provided Customer promptly notifies Navistar of the existence of the lawsuit and
tenders the complete defense of the lawsuit to Navistar.

10. ASSIGNMENT, SALE OR TRANSFER:

This Agreement, as well as any license granted hereunder, may not be assigned,
sublicensed or transferred by Customer unless written approval from Navistar is
obtained. If Navistar determines that a licensed and certified user has provided his
logon/user identification and password to an untrained user, for the purpose of
allowing the untrained user access to servicing an International vehicle with this
Software without the technical training required to do so, then the right to access
this Software will be revoked as per the provisions of this Agreement.

any time by providing Navistar with sixty (60) days written notice of its intention
to do so and this Agreement will automatically terminate at the end of such sixty
(60) day period. This Agreement and all licenses granted hereunder may be
terminated for cause by Navistar if Customer has breached the duties, obligations
or responsibilities imposed upon it by this Agreement. Customer shall have thirty
(30) days after receipt of written notice from Navistar to cure any such failure and
avoid an automatic termination hereunder. After termination or expiration of this
Agreement for any reason, Customer will return to Navistar the original and all
copies (in whole or in part or in any form) of the Software, or the terminated
program function(s) if appropriate, and any related documentation. The provisions
of Sections 6, 8, and 10 of this Agreement will survive the termination thereof.

receipt by a customer and shall be sent to the customers at their respective contact
information.
