agreements. A. Q. A. Q. A. Q.
Commissionaire -I'm sorry -- what did I call them? Concessionaire. How do you pronounce the term? Commissionaire. Commissionaire agreements. And what's the
basic idea of those agreements? A. Generally speaking, commissionaire
agreement is probably most similar but -- you know, I think it's a defined term, defined legal terms within the respective jurisdiction. But it is
probably most similar to what we generally understand it to be as an undisclosed agency agreement. Q. Is it like a distribution agreement, in
that it gives the other entity the right to distribute Oracle products? A. In the broadest term of distribution
agreement, yes.
