a. Term License Pricing:
Term Agreements: A Term License is a license that expires at the end of a given period, or term. It may also be referred to as a time-based license. Customers that purchase Term licenses do not receive perpetual rights; therefore a Term license is a non-Perpetual offering. Term pricing is not published to a price sheet, but rather is a calculation based on the GSA Price. At the end of a Term contract, no migration is required, a new contract will be written. No credits are available for remaining, unused contract term.
Term Pricing Methodology: An annual factor is applied to the Perpetual List Price. Support is included in the price (ESP rates cannot be applied).
Annual Factors:
• Systems Management Model o Term Option 1yr – Term Factor is 0.87 o Term Option 2yr – Term Factor is 0.53 o Term Option 3yr – Term Factor is 0.42 o Term Option 4yr – Term Factor is 0.37 o Term Option 5yr – Term Factor is 0.33
• MSM Simplified Pricing Model: Only one factor is applied, regardless of Term Length,0.40
Calculation:
3yr Term Option from above (systems mgmt): (GSA Price x 0.42) represents the annual term list price
b. BAP PRODUCT FAMILIES TERM
Additional Capacity for the Product Family(s). During the Term of the Order, if Customer exceeds its Licensed Capacity, Customer must license additional Capacity for the Product Family(s) under this Order based upon the Annual Unit Cost defined in the Order and by exercising a separate order. The calculation will be as follows: (i) the additional Capacity multiplied by (ii) the Annual Unit Cost divided by 12 multiplied by (iii) the remaining months in the Term.
License Rights After the Term for Non-Perpetual Licenses. Unless Customer notifies BMC in writing 30 days prior to the Expiration Date of either: (i) its intent to extend its use of the Product Family for an additional 1-year period in accordance with the terms of the Order, or (ii) a request to BMC to provide a proposal for a new multi-year order based upon Customer’s current requirements, Customer will be deemed to have elected to terminate the use of the Product Family for the next year.
Extended Term. If the Customer elects to extend the use of the Product Family for an additional 1-year after the Term (the “Extended Term”), the fee associated with the extension (the “Extension Fee”) will equal: (a) the Licensed Capacity for each Product Family multiplied by (b) the Extension Unit Cost. For any term extended beyond the Extended Term, the “Extension Unit Cost” will be the Extension Unit Cost, under the Order, subject to: (i) a maximum 5% annual increase for the two years after the Extended Term of the Order, and thereafter (ii) a maximum 10% annual increase for each year the Order is extended. The Extension Fee will be invoiced prior to the start of the one-year extension.
Termination of the Order. If the Order terminates for any reason or the licenses are not renewed, Customer’s right to use the Product Family(s) terminates and Customer must immediately de-install the Products, destroy the media and all documentation associated with the Products, and, if requested by BMC, certify its destruction in writing.

a. MIPS PRICING
When MIPS pricing is utilized a statement of capacity must be sent in. Customer will deliver to BMC a statement, signed by an authorized representative of Customer, containing the information described below for the relevant Measured Period (a “Statement of Capacity”) 30 days prior to the first anniversary of the Order Date and each subsequent anniversary date, (each an “Anniversary Date”). The “Measured Period” is the 1-year period ending 40 days prior to the Anniversary Date, with the first Measured Period being a 1-year period less 40 days from the Order Date. A final Statement of Capacity is also due 30 days prior to the Expiration Date.
STATEMENT OF CAPACITY INFORMATION: List all the Computers (by location, model, type and serial number), including all Computers coupled in a parallel sysplex environment, and the MIPS Rating for these Computers, upon which (i) each z/OS subsystem (e.g. IMS, DB2, CICS or VSAM) for which a Product is licensed to operate (a “Subsystem”) or (ii) each z/OS operating system for which a Product is licensed to operate (“Operating System”), has been installed, managed or has operated during the Measured Period. MIPS Rating is the aggregate computing power (expressed in millions of instructions per second) of a Computer, using the MIPS rating set forth in the then current Gartner Group Rating Guide.
(1) For each Subsystem MIPS-based Product, the “Reported Capacity" equals the highest aggregate MIPS Rating of all the Computers on which a Subsystem has been installed or has operated at any time during the Measured Period.
Example: If a Product is licensed to operate with the DB2 Subsystem, then the Statement of Capacity must specify the highest aggregate MIPS Ratings of all the Computers upon which the DB2 Subsystem has been installed or operated.
(2) For each Operating System MIPS-based Product, the “Reported Capacity" equals the highest aggregate MIPS Rating of all the Computers on which a Operating System has been installed or has operated at any time during the Measured Period.
Example: If a Product is licensed to operate with the z/OS Operating System, then the Statement of Capacity must specify the highest aggregate MIPS Ratings of all the Computers upon which the Z/OS Operating System has been installed or operated.
Delay in Delivery of Statement of Capacity. If Customer fails to deliver a Statement of Capacity in accordance with the section entitled “Statement of Capacity Requirements” above, BMC will provide Customer with written notice of such failure. If BMC has not received the Statement of Capacity within 15 days of Customer’s receipt of this written notice, BMC will be entitled to receive the outstanding Adjustments (as defined below), if any, owed for that Statement of Capacity plus interest equal to the lesser of 1% of such Adjustment per month of delay of delivery of such Statement of Capacity or the maximum interest rate permitted by applicable law.
b. BAP PRODUCT FAMILIES PERPETUAL
Additional Capacity for the Product Family(s). During the Term of the Order, if Customer exceeds its Licensed Capacity, Customer must license additional Capacity for the Product Family(s) under this Order based upon the Annual Unit Cost defined in the Order and by exercising a separate order.
The calculation will be as follows: (i) the additional Capacity multiplied by (ii) the Annual Unit Cost divided by 12 multiplied by (iii) the remaining months in the Term.
GS-35F-0340W www.bmc.com Page 6
License Rights After the Term for Perpetual Licenses. Unless Customer notifies BMC in writing 30 days prior to the Expiration Date of either: (i) its intent to cancel its use of the Product Family for an additional 1-year period in accordance with the terms of the Order, or (ii) a request to BMC to provide a proposal for a new multi-year order based upon Customer’s current requirements, Customer will be deemed to have elected to extend the use of the Product Family for the next year.
Extended Term. If the use of the Product Family is extended for an additional 1-year after the Term (the “Extended Term”), the fee associated with the extension (the “Extension Fee”) will equal: (a) the Licensed Capacity for each Product Family multiplied by (b) the Extension Unit Cost. For any term extended beyond the Extended Term, the “Extension Unit Cost” will be the Extension Unit Cost, under this Order, subject to: (i) a maximum 5% annual increase for the two years after the Extended Term of the Order, and thereafter (ii) a maximum 10% annual increase for each year this Order is extended. The Extension Fee will be invoiced prior to the start of the one-year extension.
Termination of the Order. When the Order is terminated by Customer pursuant this Section, Customer will continue to have a perpetual license to the Product Family for only the Products which were a part of the Product Family and the paid for Licensed Capacity at the time of termination. The Product Family will no longer be eligible for Support (except pursuant to Section Reenrollment Fees), the individual Products under the Product Family will not be eligible for Support as standalone Products, and Customer will not receive the rights to any future Products added to the Product Family after such termination. The Product Family perpetual licenses will continue to be governed by the Agreement.
Reenrollment Fees. If the Order is terminated and Customer desires to reenroll the Product Family under the terms of this Order, Customer will pay a reenrollment fee equal to: (i) the period from the date the Order for the Product Family was discontinued though the reenrollment date multiplied by; (ii) the then current Extension Unit Cost as of the reenrollment date as described in this Section 3 multiplied by; (iii) the Product Family’s Licensed Capacity. In addition to this reenrollment fee, Customer must pay the additional Extension Fee based upon the then-current Extension Unit Cost to enroll the total Licensed Capacity of the Product Family under the terms of this Order for a period of at least 1 year from the reenrollment date. The reenrollment period will be considered an Extended Term.
