RVU Proofs of Entitlement (PoEs) are based on the number of units of a specific resource used or managed by the program. Licensee must obtain sufficient entitlements for the number of RVUs required for licensee's environment as defined by the specific software terms. RVU entitlements are specific to the program and the type of resource and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with RVU entitlements of another program or resource. The resources for the purpose of RVU calculation are the total number of Million Order Lines processed by the program in any consecutive 12 month period. An order means any document type defined in the program, including but not limited to: sales orders, purchase orders, transfer orders, schedules, plans, returns, reservations, shipments, and receipts.

User Value Unit (UVU) UVU is a unit of measure by which the program can be licensed. UVU PoEs are based on the number and type of users for the given program. Licensee must obtain sufficient entitlements for the number of UVUs required for licensee's environment as defined by the specific software terms. The UVU entitlements are specific to the program and type of user and may not be exchanged, interchanged, or aggregated with UVU entitlements of another program or type of user. The following programs are licensed based on the UVU metric where users are measured by Authorized Users: Call Center Add-on Mobile Framework for Internal Users The users for the purpose of UVU calculation are Authorized Users given access to the program. An Authorized User is a unique person who is given access to the program in any manner directly or indirectly (for example: via a multiplexing program, device, or application server) through any means. An entitlement for an Authorized User is unique to that Authorized User and may not be shared, nor may it be reassigned other than for the permanent transfer of the entitlement to another person. Note:Some programs may be licensed where devices are considered users. In that case the following applies: Any computing device that requests the execution of or receives for execution a set of commands, procedures, or applications from the program or that is otherwise managed by the program is considered a separate user of the program and requires an entitlement as if that device were a person. User Value Unit conversion table From 1 to 20 Users, 1.00 UVU per User From 21 to 50 Users, 20 UVUs plus 0.83 UVUs per User above 20 From 51 to 100 Users, 45 UVUs plus 0.80 UVUs per User above 50 From 101 to 250 Users, 85 UVUs plus 0.76 UVUs per User above 100 From 251 to 500 Users, 199 UVUs plus 0.60 UVUs per User above 250 From 501 to 1,000 Users, 349 UVUs plus 0.50 UVUs per User above 500 From 1,001 to 5,000 Users, 599 UVUs plus 0.47 UVUs per User above 1,000 From 5,001 to 10,000 Users, 2,479 UVUs plus 0.40 UVUs per User above 5,000 From 10,001 to 25,000 Users, 4,479 UVUs plus 0.36 UVUs per User above 10,000 For more than 25,000 Users, 9,879 UVUs plus 0.33 UVUs per User above 25,000 The following programs are licensed based on the RVU metric where resources are measured by Stores. A Store is each physical mercantile establishment where goods and services are offered for sale: Store Add-on - Small Format Edition Store Add-on - Medium Format Edition Store Add-on - Large Format Edition Store Add-on - Mega Format Edition The Resources for the purpose of RVU calculation are stores where the program is installed. Store The program selected for every store needs to match the size of the physical retail setting. The size of the store is calculated as the area measure of the building. IBM United States Software Announcement 215-002 IBM is a registered trademark of International Business Machines Corporation 10

An entitlement to a larger format can be applied to cover a store that has a smaller format. Small Format = 0 to 15,000 square feet (or 0 to 1,393 square meters) Medium Format = 15,001 to 60,000 square feet (or 1,394 to 5,574 square meters) Large Format = 60,001 to 110,000 square feet (or 5,575 to 10,219 square meters) Mega Format = 110,001 and above square feet (or 10,200 and above square meters) The Rich Client Platform versions of IBM Sterling Store V9.3 and IBM Sterling Call Center V9.3 have been certified for use with Sterling Order Management V9.4.

Statement of good security practices IT system security involves protecting systems and information through prevention, detection, and response to improper access from within and outside your enterprise. Improper access can result in information being altered, destroyed, or misappropriated or can result in misuse of your systems to attack others. Without a comprehensive approach to security, no IT system or product should be considered completely secure and no single product or security measure can be completely effective in preventing improper access. IBM systems and products are designed to be part of a comprehensive security approach, which will necessarily involve additional operational procedures, and may require other systems, products, or services to be most effective. IBM does not warrant that systems and products are immune from the malicious or illegal conduct of any party.
