internal use in connection with this Agreement and for sublicensing to
the "Customers" defined in Exhibit B. "Customers" shall include end-
users only and shall not include resellers.
b. VAR is, and shall act as, an independent contractor, and not as an
agent or employee of ICL, and shall have no
authority to commit or act on behalf of ICL in any manner other than
as expressly authorized herein.
c. Subject to specifically agreed upon exclusivity which, if agreed upon,

authorities at any time after signature by the VAR as a financing statement
and/or a chattel mortgage in order to perfect ICL's security interest. Such
filing does not constitute acceptance of this Agreement by ICL. Upon
request by ICL, VAR shall promptly execute sufficient financing statements
and such other instruments as ICL may reasonably request to perfect ICL's
security interest.
