17. COVID-19 NOTICE TO ONSITE VISITORS AND CONTRACTORS
In light of the current situation regarding COVID-19, our priority is to
maintain a safe and healthy working environment for our employees, contractors,
and visitors. If you are visiting any Micro Focus premises in the foreseeable
future, you may be asked to complete a COVID-19 symptom self-declaration form
and/or take part in a temperature check (if local directives so require) before
being permitted entry to the premises.
As part of these procedures, the information we may collect includes:
(a) in respect of the self-declaration: personal identification information
(including your name, employer, email address and telephone number) and
confirmation that, in the 21 days prior to your visit, you have or have not
experienced any symptoms consistent with COVID-19, and are or are not aware of
having been in contact with any individual that has presented any symptoms
consistent with COVID-19; and
(b) in respect of the temperature check: your temperature reading by way of
thermal forehead screening.
Temperature checks
If temperature checks are implemented by Micro Focus, your temperature reading
will not be recorded or stored by Micro Focus, will not be attributable to you
in any way and will only be used by Micro Focus personnel to determine whether
your temperature reading falls within the requirements to permit access to Micro
Focus premises. The thermal screening will be carried out safely, discretely,
and respectfully and in accordance with local requirements. The reading will be
securely deleted following the determination relating to your access.
COVID-19 self-declarations
If written self-declarations are implemented by Micro Focus, we will only
collect and process the data you provide in order to determine whether you can
access the relevant Micro Focus premises.
Micro Focus is processing data (including health related data) in respect of
these two procedures in order to protect the health and wellbeing of our
employees and to keep our premises safe for all attending individuals. This is
necessary to ensure we comply with our employment law obligations, but also for
reasons of public interest in the area of public health, such as protecting
against serious cross-border threats to health (as permitted by Article 9(2)(i)
of the EU General Data Protection Regulation).
The self-declaration forms will be electronically stored centrally and securely,
and will only be retained for as long as is necessary (depending on the duration
of your visit) to maintain a safe working environment, taking into account local
government advice and ongoing risks. Thereafter, the data will be securely
deleted by way of shredding as soon as reasonably practical and, in any event,
within 22 days of the end of your visit (or series of visits). The data will not
be shared with any third party.
Please note that if you do not wish to comply with these procedures, or if your
temperature result and/or declaration does not meet the relevant requirements,
in the interests of the health and safety of our office you will politely be
asked to leave the Micro Focus premises and should inform your Micro Focus
contact directly that you are unable to attend.
Please refer to sections 1-16 for further details about our collection and
processing of personal data in the context of our day to day business
activities, your rights in respect of the information we process, our company
details (as a data controller) and how to contact our Privacy Team if you have
any questions.

ANTI-SLAVERY STATEMENT
INTRODUCTION
This statement is made pursuant to section 54(1) of the Modern Slavery Act 2015
(the "Modern Slavery Act") and covers the Micro Focus financial year starting on
1 November 2019 and ending on 31 October 2020. For the purposes of this
statement, the definition of modern slavery is based on the definitions set out
in the Modern Slavery Act 2015 and includes slavery, servitude, forced labour,
child labour, human trafficking and workplace abuse.
This statement was approved by Micro Focus International Plc's Board of
Directors on 24 March 2021 and is published on behalf of Micro Focus
International Plc and its qualifying group companies. References to "Micro
Focus", "we", "us", "our" or the "company" are to each of these entities.
OVERVIEW OF MICRO FOCUS
Micro Focus (LSE: MCRO.L, NYSE: MFGP) is a global enterprise software company
supporting the technology needs and challenges of the Global 2000. Our solutions
help organisations leverage existing IT investments, enterprise applications and
emerging technologies to address complex, rapidly evolving business requirements
while protecting corporate information at all times. Our product portfolios are
Security, IT Operations Management, Application Delivery Management, Information
Management & Governance and Application Modernization & Connectivity.
Micro Focus is headquartered in Newbury (United Kingdom) and the group has a
presence in 48 countries worldwide, employing approximately 11,900 people. For
more information visit www.microfocus.com.
OUR BUSINESS
Micro Focus is a software company with a professional workforce. In the way and
sector in which it operates, Micro Focus does not consider its own employees to
be at high-risk of slavery, servitude, forced labour, child labour, human
trafficking or workplace abuse.
In relation to our supply chains, we do not have an extensive range of local or
international suppliers, nor do we operate any manufacturing facilities. Our
supply chain broadly consists of contract and outsourced workers (mostly
professional consultants), telephone-based support services and suppliers of
goods and other services for our offices, such as stationery suppliers,
caterers, office cleaners and marketing merchandise.
We are nonetheless committed to acting ethically and with integrity in all our
business relationships and to implementing and enforcing effective systems and
controls to ensure slavery, forced labour and human trafficking does not take
place anywhere in our business, distribution or supply chains.
Our operations are mainly office-based although, due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
the majority of our staff worked from home for a large proportion of the
financial year. We have worked hard to support our employees through these
challenging times, including conducting an anonymised all-employee survey to
better understand their concerns.
ZERO-TOLERANCE OF MODERN SLAVERY
Micro Focus remains committed to maintaining zero-tolerance of any form of
modern slavery in its business or supply chains. We continue to develop a
risk-based approach which includes clearly informing our suppliers of Micro
Focus' obligations under the Modern Slavery Act and the ethical standards
required of them.
We also continuously review our practices, systems and controls in relation to
our supply chains to further identify, assess and monitor potential risk areas
and identify ways to further mitigate the risk of slavery and human trafficking
occurring. For example, in view of the large, diverse and growing body of
evidence of the human rights violations being perpetrated in Xinjiang against
the Uyghur Muslims, Micro Focus has confirmed that none of its vendors have
links to the region.
We include requests for information on modern slavery and supply chains in our
Requests for Proposals. Some of the practices and controls that we have
implemented consist of:
* Including in Micro Focus' standard form purchase order terms express
obligations upon suppliers to comply with all applicable anti-modern slavery
laws and Micro Focus' Modern Slavery Statement
* Providing our suppliers with our policies on preventing modern slavery and
requiring compliance in all parts of their business;
* Also requiring suppliers to take all reasonable steps to ensure that slavery,
servitude, human trafficking, forced labour and child labour do not take
place in their own supply chains; and
* Requiring suppliers to immediately notify Micro Focus if they become aware of
any such circumstances.
POLICIES
The following policies are in place at Micro Focus to minimise the slavery or
human trafficking risk in all parts of our business and supply chains:
CODE OF CONDUCT
Micro Focus' worldwide Code of Conduct outlines our commitment to observing the
highest ethical standards to guide our business practices across a number of
areas, including in relation to human rights. It states that we must protect and
respect human rights and work with our business partners and suppliers to do the
same.
The Code of Conduct contains the following key obligations on employees relating
to the prevention of slavery and human trafficking:
* Ensure that slavery, servitude, child labour, prison or forced labour, human
trafficking and physical punishment do not occur in any operation of Micro
Focus or our suppliers and other business partners;
* Comply with the Micro Focus Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy (see
below);
* Respect the right of employees to organise in labour unions and collectively
bargain in accordance with local laws and established practices; and
* Speak up if employees are concerned about any possible violation of human
rights at Micro Focus.
The Code of Conduct has been communicated to all our employees (including
through annual, dedicated online training). It is also reviewed each year (with
the last review taking place in December 2020).
ANTI-SLAVERY AND HUMAN TRAFFICKING POLICY
Our Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy outlines our zero-tolerance
approach to slavery and human trafficking and states that modern slavery is a
crime and a violation of fundamental human rights. It sets out that we are
committed to ensuring there is transparency in our own business and in our
approach to tackling modern slavery in our own supply chain.
As with the Code of Conduct, the Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy
applies to everyone working for or on behalf of Micro Focus and encourages
employees to report any concerns immediately. Our Anti-Slavery and Human
Trafficking Policy was last reviewed in August 2020.
GLOBAL HUMAN RIGHTS POLICY
Micro Focus' Global Human Rights Policy confirms that respecting human rights is
a core value at Micro Focus and is embedded in the way we do business. Micro
Focus seeks to comply with all relevant legislation as well as uphold and
respect human rights as reflected in the United Nations Universal Declaration of
Human Rights, the OECD Guidelines for Multinational Enterprises, the UN Global
Compact and the UN Guiding Principles on Business and Human Rights, amongst
others.
These standards include ensuring that the rights of women and minority groups
are protected and that employees are able to exercise their right to freedom of
expression. We expect our employees, agents, suppliers and business partners to
support and respect the protection of human rights in line with our own ethical
values and apply the same high standards to all company operations, regardless
of geographic location.
SUPPLIER CODE OF CONDUCT
Our relationships with our suppliers are required to be fully transparent,
ethical and in line with the standards expected of our own employees. To this
end, we have a Supplier Code of Conduct, which includes details of our standards
on issues such as slavery, human trafficking, forced labour and child labour,
which is implemented across the Micro Focus group worldwide.
The Supplier Code of Conduct states that suppliers shall take all reasonable
steps to ensure that slavery, servitude, human trafficking, forced or compulsory
labour and/or child labour do not take place in their own supply chains or in
any part of their business (including making all necessary enquiries with their
own suppliers and, to the extent reasonable, other parties in the supply chain).
It sets out that suppliers shall comply with the Modern Slavery Act, the
commitments in this statement and the Anti-Slavery and Human Trafficking Policy,
as updated from time to time.
ANTI-BRIBERY AND ANTI-CORRUPTION POLICY MICRO
Micro Focus' Anti-Bribery and Corruption Policy requires that our business is
conducted in an ethical, legal and responsible manner, consistent with our
zero-tolerance of slavery and human trafficking in all forms.
WHISTLEBLOWING POLICY
Our Whistleblowing Policy encourages a culture of openness and transparency
across the business so that staff and our suppliers can speak up where they feel
our people and customers are at risk, or where areas of wrongdoing have been
identified or are suspected. For the purposes of the Whistleblowing Policy,
"wrongdoing" includes endangering the health and safety of any individual and a
breach of the Code of Conduct and the rest of our policies.
The Whistleblowing Policy explains how to raise a concern, including by staff
speaking to their manager, their manager's manager or relevant head of
department. Staff and suppliers can also contact the Micro Focus Legal
Department or, if anonymity is preferred, use the independent telephone and web
reporting service at the following link: http://www.microfocus.ethicspoint.com/.
Micro Focus' Legal Department monitors and reviews the Whistleblowing reporting
on an ongoing basis to identify behavioural trends and address any concerns
raised.
We expect our robust ethical standards and behaviours to apply to and be upheld
by all our employees, customers, partners, suppliers and other stakeholders.
DUE DILIGENCE
At Micro Focus, we aim to be a company with the highest level of ethical
standards in how we treat our employees and do business with our partners,
customers and suppliers. In pursuit of this aim, we implement and enforce
rigorous standards in our relationships with our customers and partners and
apply stringent due diligence requirements when entering into any new
association to prevent inappropriate, illegal or corrupt behaviours or
activities.
ENVIRONMENTAL, SOCIAL AND GOVERNANCE (ESG)
Micro Focus holds ISS Prime Status, which is only awarded to companies with an
Environmental Social & Governance ("ESG") performance above the sector-specific
prime threshold. This means that we fulfil ambitious absolute performance
requirements, showing our commitment to driving the highest ethical and business
standards.
Social responsibility and the respect for human rights is also a core value at
Micro Focus and shapes our behaviours, decision-making and culture. We have
evolved and grown our social impact goals to focus on skills, which in turn will
decrease the risk of slavery and human-trafficking through better education.
Communities must be equipped with the right skills to survive and thrive in our
continually evolving digital future. From helping to provide basic education in
developing countries and nurturing digital skills in advanced economies, to
social mobility, inclusion and diversity, our aim is to ensure that no one is
left behind. Our partnerships and new employee volunteering programs focus on
learning and upskilling for our communities and employees spanning digital,
lifelong learning and wellbeing skills. This will help those communities to have
access to professional jobs so that slavery and human-trafficking risk is less
likely.
As well as helping our customers address their carbon footprint and adopt carbon
friendly IT strategies, such as enabling greater efficiency and longer life from
their existing technology, Micro Focus is committed to improving its own carbon
footprint. Collectively our leadership team and employees are working to reduce
our total energy consumption and waste materials so that our employees and
others can benefit from living in a better, safer and healthier environment.
As a UK-incorporated company listed on the London Stock Exchange, we are also
required to comply with the UK Corporate Governance Code. The Code requires
boards to (i) ensure that workforce policies and practices are consistent with
the company's values and support its long-term sustainable success, and that the
workforce can raise any matters of concern; and (ii) to assess and monitor the
company's culture and, if it has concerns, to seek assurance that management has
taken corrective action. Our Board of Directors is committed to driving and
supporting a culture of ethical behaviours, which reduces the risk of any
slavery and human-trafficking happening at Micro Focus or in its supply chains.
For more information on our Corporate Social Responsibility ("CSR") initiatives,
please see here.
TRAINING
Information on the importance of avoiding modern slavery is specifically
included in our Code of Conduct and related training. In 2020, we conducted our
annual Code of Conduct training, which is mandatory for all employees, including
our Sales, Marketing, Legal, Procurement and Finance teams. The training
addresses how to avoid any form of slavery and human trafficking, and it
includes a test at the end which all employees are required to pass. It is also
available in the following languages to ensure easy accessibility: Chinese,
Dutch, English, French, Italian, Japanese, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish.
The Code of Conduct training repeats the message that Micro Focus is committed
to acting ethically and with integrity in all its business relationships. It
states that slavery includes forced labour, human trafficking and bonded labour
(when people borrow money they cannot repay and are required to work to pay off
the debt). It sets out that slavery has no place anywhere in our business or
supply chains and provides a link to this statement and the Anti-Slavery and
Human Trafficking Policy.
RESPONSIBILITY AND MONITORING
The Board of Micro Focus International Plc has overall responsibility for
ensuring that the Micro Focus worldwide Code of Conduct and this statement
comply with our legal and ethical obligations and that all those under Micro
Focus' control comply with it.
Our Group Compliance Officer, supported by the Legal Corporate Compliance and
Ethics team, has primary and day-to-day responsibility for monitoring the Code
of Conduct and this statement's use and effectiveness. The Legal Corporate
Compliance and Ethics team is also assisted by the wider Legal, CSR, Human
Resources, Finance and Global Procurement teams in ensuring the company's
compliance with both the letter and spirit of the Modern Slavery Act and this
Statement.
REPORTING
To date, Micro Focus has not identified or received any reports that it has
caused or contributed to slavery or human trafficking in any way.
Should any issues be identified in relation to slavery or human trafficking, we
have appropriate processes in place throughout the company to enable
remediation. These processes include Micro Focus' Whistleblowing Policy,
embedded in the Code of Conduct, and related whistleblowing telephone and web
reporting service (http://www.microfocus.ethicspoint.com/). These mechanisms
allow people to safely raise concerns about the impact Micro Focus or other
entities in our operations or supply chain may be having on them.
FURTHER STEPS
Micro Focus will continue to review the effectiveness of the steps we are taking
to ensure the risks of modern slavery and human trafficking in our business,
operations and supply chain remain low. Where necessary, we will aim to improve
any policies, procedures and systems that are already in place.

MICRO FOCUS MARKETPLACE END USER PARTICIPATION TERMS
These MICRO FOCUS MARKETPLACE END USER PARTICIPATION TERMS ("Participation
Terms") are a legal contract between you and, as applicable, Micro Focus
International plc or one of its group companies or affiliates ("Micro Focus")
and apply to your use of a Micro Focus marketplace (the "Marketplace") and your
use of applications made available in the Marketplace (each, an "Application").
These Participation Terms are effective beginning with your initial use of the
Marketplace.
1. INTRODUCTION: Before accessing the Marketplace or any Application, carefully
read these Participation Terms which are in addition to the Micro Focus Website
Terms of Use set forth at www.microfocus.com/about/legal ("Website Terms of
Use"). To the extent there is any conflict between these Participation Terms and
the Website Terms of Use, these Participation Terms shall control. The licensor
of each Application (the "Application Provider") is either Micro Focus or a
third-party licensor. The Application Provider licenses the Application to you,
the original end user, either for free or for a charge, solely for your
organization's internal purposes as set forth below and subject to the
applicable end user license agreement. Your use of each Application that you
download through the Marketplace is governed by the terms of the End User
License Agreement specified by the Application Provider (the "EULA").
Where Micro Focus is the Application Provider, the license to the Application is
governed by the Micro Focus EULA found at
www.microfocus.com/en-us/legal/software-licensing, effective beginning with your
initial use of that Application. Please note that Micro Focus has authorized
third parties to contribute Applications of such third parties to the
Marketplace and the use of that third-party Application is governed by the terms
and conditions specified by the third party rather than by the Micro Focus EULA.
If you do not agree to these Participation Terms, you may not use, download
from, or otherwise access the Marketplace. Using, downloading, or otherwise
accessing any part of the Marketplace indicates that you accept these
Participation Terms. You must be at least 13 (thirteen) years of age to use or
access the Marketplace. If you are at least 13 but under the age of 18, you must
have your parent or legal guardian's permission to use or access the
marketplace.
2. LIMITED ROLE OF MICRO FOCUS: Your agreement with each third-party Application
Provider is a binding agreement between you and that Application Provider only.
Such third party is solely responsible for the corresponding Application, the
content therein, any warranties to the extent that such warranties have not been
disclaimed, and any claims relating to that Application. You acknowledge that,
except in situations where Micro Focus is the Application Provider, Micro Focus
is not a party to the agreement between you and the Application Provider. Micro
Focus is not responsible for any third-party Application, the content therein,
or any warranties or claims that you or any other party may have relating to
that Application. You further acknowledge and agree that, with respect to any
Application for which Micro Focus is not the Application Provider, Micro Focus
is a third-party beneficiary of the corresponding EULA and, in such capacity,
has the right to enforce such EULA against you.
3. PRICES AND TAXES: Prices will be as set out on the Marketplace at the time an
order is submitted. Prices are exclusive of taxes, duties, and fees (including
installation, shipping, and handling) unless otherwise quoted.
4. INVOICES AND PAYMENT: You agree to pay all invoiced amounts at the time of
purchase. Micro Focus may suspend or cancel performance of open orders if You
fail to make payments when due. All sales are final.
5. RESTRICTIONS: You agree that Micro Focus and/or third parties own all right,
title and interest in and to the Marketplace as a whole and all Applications as
to which Micro Focus is the Application Provider (including all patents,
copyrights, trademarks and other intellectual property rights relating thereto).
Each Application is licensed for use only for a single Micro Focus account, and
you may not distribute or make the Application available over a network or for
use with multiple devices. You may not modify or alter an Application or use it
other than as expressly authorized by the corresponding EULA; provided that, if
applicable law permits you to copy or modify the Application, then you may copy
and modify the Application solely to the extent, and for such purposes as,
expressly permitted by applicable law. You may not attempt to, or assist or
encourage any other person or entity to circumvent, disable or modify any
security technology or software that is part of the Application or specified by
Micro Focus. Except as expressly authorized herein or in such EULA, all rights
in the Applications are reserved by the Application Providers. You agree that
you will not engage in any activity that interferes with or disrupts the
Marketplace or services available through Applications you have downloaded. You
further agree that you will not use any Applications you download to interfere
with or otherwise disrupt any servers, networks, websites or services.
6. MICRO FOCUS HAS THE RIGHT TO MODIFY, CHANGE OR TERMINATE YOUR USE OF THE
MARKETPLACE OR APPLICATIONS FOUND IN THE MARKETPLACE: Micro Focus reserves the
right, at its sole discretion and at any time, to add, remove, disable access
to, block, or modify the Marketplace or to impose limits on the use of or access
to certain features or portions of the Marketplace. In the event Micro Focus
determines in good faith that it is appropriate to do so, due to changes in the
obligations to, or restrictions imposed by, its third-party licensors or
partners, an Application Provider's violation of its agreement with Micro Focus,
or any governmental restriction or court order. Micro Focus may, without prior
notice or liability to you, remove, disable access to, block, or modify remotely
any Applications previously downloaded by you from the Marketplace. In such
event, you may need to contact the Application Provider for further action or
access.
7. MICRO FOCUS HAS THE RIGHT TO MODIFY THESE TERMS: Micro Focus reserves the
right to modify these Participation Terms at its sole discretion at any time.
Any such modification will be effective upon Micro Focus notifying you prior to
your continued use or access of the Marketplace. Your continued use of the
Marketplace after such notice will constitute your binding acceptance of the
Agreement as revised.
8. CUSTOMER SERVICE: Support of an Application is solely as agreed by you and
either (i) the applicable third-party Application Provider or (ii) Micro Focus
in cases where it is the Application Provider. Micro Focus does not provide
support for third-party Applications. For any issues or questions concerning
specific third-party Applications, please contact the Application Provider.
9. CONTENT ACCESSED THROUGH APPLICATIONS: You acknowledge and agree that certain
Applications may provide access to products, services, web content or other
third-party materials (together, "Third-Party Content") and that Micro Focus is
not responsible for such Third-Party Content. Micro Focus makes no
representations or warranties regarding such Third-Party Content.
10. REVIEWS: Micro Focus, in its sole discretion, may permit users to post
reviews of Applications on the Marketplace. Such reviews reflect the opinions of
the reviewers and not Micro Focus, and Micro Focus makes no representations as
to the accuracy or completeness of the reviews. You agree that Micro Focus shall
have no liability to you if you rely on the reviews to download or use an
Application. Micro Focus reserves the right to, but has no obligation to, remove
reviews that Micro Focus deems irrelevant or otherwise inappropriate for any
reason. If you post a review, you hereby grant Micro Focus a perpetual,
worldwide, fully transferable and sub-licensable, irrevocable, royalty-free
license to make, use, sell, market, reproduce, create derivative works of,
distribute, perform, and display the review in any manner and for any purpose.
You acknowledge that your personally identifiable information may be associated
with your review unless you post the review anonymously. If you post a review,
you agree not to post, publish or transmit any material that: (i) is false or
misleading; (ii) is defamatory; (iii) invades another's privacy; (iv) is
obscene, pornographic, or offensive; (v) promotes bigotry, racism, hatred or
harm against any individual or group; (vi) infringes on another's rights,
including but not limited to any intellectual property rights; or (vii)
violates, or encourages any conduct that would violate, any applicable law or
regulation or would give rise to civil or criminal liability.
11. CONSENT TO USE OF DATA: To the extent permitted by law, you expressly
consent to the collection and use of information (which may include your
personal identifiable information such as your name, your email address, and
other like information associated with your user account) about your use of the
Marketplace, Applications obtained through the Marketplace, and the computer
systems on which such Applications are installed or accessed for security and
licensing purposes and to improve Micro Focus products and services. This
includes the use of Google Analytics or other analytics tools for the collection
of anonymous usage information, which helps Micro Focus understand how visitors
engage with the application catalog. Micro Focus will collect and use this
information and may disclose this information to the Application Provider. Your
information will be treated in accordance with Micro Focus' privacy policy (set
forth at www.microfocus.com/about/legal/#your_privacy) and in accordance with
applicable data protection laws.
12. INDEMNIFICATION: To the maximum extent permitted by law, you agree to
defend, indemnify and hold Micro Focus, its directors, officers, employees,
affiliates and agents (including without limitation its parent company, Micro
Focus International plc and its directors, officers, employees, affiliates and
agents) harmless from and against any and all claims arising out of your breach
of these Participation Terms, your use of the Marketplace, or your use of any
Applications downloaded from the Marketplace.
13. WARRANTY AND DISCLAIMERS: TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
YOU EXPRESSLY ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT USE OF THE MARKETPLACE IS AT YOUR SOLE
RISK AND THAT ACCESS TO THE MARKETPLACE IS PROVIDED TO YOU ON AN "AS IS" AND "AS
AVAILABLE" BASIS AND WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OF ANY KIND OR NATURE. MICRO FOCUS
DOES NOT WARRANT THAT USE OF THE MARKETPLACE WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED,
FAULT-TOLERANT OR ERROR FREE. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW,
MICRO FOCUS AND ITS SUPPLIERS EXPRESSLY DISCLAIM ANY IMPLIED OR STATUTORY
WARRANTIES, INCLUDING WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR

KIND BY MICRO FOCUS.

party arising out of or in connection herewith exceed the lesser of (i)
$10,000 or (ii) the total fees paid by You for access to the Marketplace in
the preceding twelve (12) months. Nothing in this clause (Liability Cap)
shall limit either party's liability for willful misconduct or fraudulent
misrepresentation; unauthorized use of intellectual property; breach of
license; breach of confidentiality, but personal identifiable information
remains capped by this clause unless prohibited by applicable law; death or
bodily injury caused by negligence; non-payment of amounts owed; or any
liability which may not be excluded or limited by applicable law.

You confirm that you are not located in a country that is subject to trade
control sanctions (currently Cuba, Iran, N. Korea, N. Sudan, and Syria) and
further agree that you will not retransfer the Applications to any such country.
Micro Focus may suspend its performance under these Participation Terms to the
extent required by laws applicable to either party.
16. TERM AND TERMINATION: These Participation Terms are effective until

Marketplace, provided that any terms relating to your use of each Application
will survive unless and until you destroy all copies of such Application and
related documentation. Some jurisdictions do not allow the termination of this
type of Agreement, so the above provision may be limited in its application to
you. In addition, Micro Focus reserves the right to modify, suspend, or
discontinue the Marketplace (or any part or content thereof) at any time with or
without notice to you, and Micro Focus will not be liable to you or to any third
party should it exercise such rights.
17. GOVERNING LAW: These Participation Terms, as well as any claims or causes of
action, whether in contract, tort or statute, based on, arising under or
relating hereto, will be governed and enforced pursuant to the laws of the State
of Delaware, without giving effect to any conflict of law rule or other rule
that could result in the application of laws of a different jurisdiction. The
parties consent to exclusive jurisdiction of the state and federal courts of
Delaware. The United Nations Convention on Contracts for the International Sale

recover costs and reasonable attorneys' fees as awarded by the court or
arbitrator.

TAX STRATEGY
INTRODUCTION
This document sets out the Group's strategy for managing its tax affairs. The
document will be published externally in accordance with recently enacted UK
legislation prior to the end of the first applicable accounting period
commencing 1 May 2017 and re-issued on an annual basis thereafter.
RESPONSIBILITIES
Overall responsibility for the Tax Strategy rests with the Board.
The detailed policies for implementing the Tax Strategy are set out in the
Group's Tax Policy document. Responsibility for updating and implementing the
Tax Policy rests with the Chief Financial Officer.
The Audit Committee monitors compliance with the Tax Strategy and reports /
makes recommendations to the Board accordingly.
The Tax Strategy is kept under ongoing review and is subject to formal review by
the Board at least once a year.
STRATEGY
The Group's strategy with regards to tax is:
1. to ensure the Group is fully compliant with its statutory and regulatory
obligations ? ensuring complete and accurate tax returns are filed and the
correct amount of tax is paid on time;
2. to manage its tax costs by ensuring that tax is considered when the group
carries out significant transactions or reorganisations, and that
appropriate tax planning is implemented, which accords with the Group's long
term business strategy and stakeholder expectations;
3. to ensure the group takes advantage of statutory tax reliefs which are
available to businesses generally (such as R&D tax credits or
Patent/Innovation Box benefits);
4. to ensure tax risks are appropriately identified, assessed and managed; and
5. to ensure stakeholders have a comprehensive understanding of the Group's tax
position.
The Group's tax strategy is fully consistent with the CBI's tax principles for
UK business (attached).
Further details are set below.
Compliance and engagement with tax authorities
The Group will pay the amount of tax legally due in each territory.
Where the application of tax law is unclear, the Group will obtain appropriate
professional advice which will support the position taken in the relevant tax
return.
The Group will develop good working relationships and be fully open, honest and
transparent in its dealings with HMRC in the UK and other tax authorities. The
Group will aim to meet with HMRC on a formal basis at least annually to update
them on business developments and significant ongoing / forthcoming projects.
The Group will cooperate fully with enquiries raised by tax authorities and aim
to respond to requests for information within one month of receipt; where that
is not possible, we will discuss the appropriate timeline with the tax
authorities.
Tax planning
The Group is committed to managing its tax costs as part of its strategy to
maximise total shareholder returns.
The Group issues guidance to investors and other stakeholders with regards to
its forecast Adjusted Effective Tax Rate (being the tax charge in respect of the
Adjusted Profit Before Tax divided by the Adjusted Profit Before Tax, in
percentage terms) in the medium term. This is for stakeholder information
purposes and does not constitute a formal performance target.
All tax planning undertaken must be driven by a business purpose or commercial
rationale and support the Group's business objectives. The Group will only enter
into transactions which are fully justifiable in the event of scrutiny by the
Group's wider stakeholders.
The Group will be fully open, honest and transparent with tax authorities with
regards to all tax planning undertaken.
Risk management
Tax risks will be managed in accordance with the Group's risk management
framework and procedures. This includes the maintenance of a tax risk register,
which sets out the material tax risks faced by the Group. This will be reviewed
by the Audit Committee at least twice per year.
The tax implications of all major transactions (for example M&A transactions,
corporate structure changes, and cross-border intra-group transactions) will be
reviewed in advance by the Group Tax team with appropriate support from external
advisors.
The Group will ensure that all decisions are taken at the appropriate level with
appropriate supporting documentation. As part of the decision-making process,
due consideration will be given to the Group's reputation and corporate and
social responsibilities.
The Group accepts that certainty of tax treatment cannot be achieved in all
circumstances (in the context of both compliance and planning). The precise
amount of tax risk the Group is willing to bear will depend on the facts and
circumstances relevant to the issue under consideration. The level of tax risk,
which the Group is exposed to overall, is considered as part of the review of
the tax risk register and the level of provisions for tax exposures in the
Group's financial statements.
Stakeholder information
The Group's financial reports, stakeholder presentations and other
publicly-available documentation will provide stakeholders with a clear
understanding of the Group's tax position, including its tax strategy and
governance processes as well as the financial position (effective tax rate,
taxes paid and tax assets/liabilities).
STATEMENT OF TAX PRINCIPLES
TO ADVANCE THE DEBATE ON THE RESPONSIBLE MANAGEMENT OF TAX BY UK BUSINESS, THE
CBI OFFERS THIS STATEMENT OF TAX PRINCIPLES FOR ITS MEMBERS.
INTENTION OF STATEMENT OF PRINCIPLES
This statement of principles is intended to promote and affirm responsible
business tax management by UK businesses. These principles are based on five key
observations:
* Public trust in the tax system is a vital part of any flourishing democracy
* Transparency and co-operation between HMRC and business contributes to
greater compliance and a better functioning tax system
* Most businesses comply fully with all applicable tax laws and regulations,
recognising the obligation of the UK government to protect a sustainable tax
base
* Tax is a business expense which needs to be managed, like any other, and
therefore businesses may respond to legitimate tax incentives and statutory
alternatives offered by governments
* UK businesses contribute significantly to the UK economy and pay a
substantial amount of tax comprising not only corporation tax, but also
National Insurance, business rates and other taxes.
THE OBJECTIVES
* To enhance co-operation, trust and confidence between HMRC, UK business
taxpayers and the public in regard to the operation of the UK tax system
* To promote the efficient working of the tax system to fund public services
and promote sustainable growth.
TAX PLANNING PRINCIPLES
* UK businesses should only engage in reasonable tax planning that is aligned
with commercial and economic activity and does not lead to an abusive result
* UK businesses may respond to tax incentives and exemptions
* UK businesses should interpret the relevant tax laws in a reasonable way
consistent with a relationship of ?co-operative compliance' with HMRC
* In international matters, UK businesses should follow the terms of the UK's
Double Taxation Treaties and relevant OECD guidelines in dealing with such
issues as transfer pricing and establishing taxable presence, and should
engage constructively in international dialogue on the review of global tax
rules and the need for any changes.
TRANSPARENCY AND REPORTING PRINCIPLES
Relationships between UK businesses and HMRC should be transparent,
constructive, and based on mutual trust with the result that HMRC should treat
business fairly and with respect, and with an appropriate focus on areas of
risk. UK businesses should, therefore:
* Be open and transparent with HMRC about their tax affairs and provide all
relevant information that is necessary for HMRC to review possible tax risks
* Work collaboratively with HMRC to achieve early agreement on disputed issues
and certainty on a real-time basis, wherever possible
* Seek to increase public understanding in the tax system in order to build
public trust in that system, and, to that end:
* They should consider how best to explain more fully to the public their
economic contribution and taxes paid in the UK
* This could include an explanation of their policy for tax management, and
the governance process which applies to tax decisions, together with some
details of the amount and type of taxes paid.
